Molecules 2024; 29:2212. [PMID: 38792074 PMCID: PMC11124341 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29102212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The research on new compounds against plant pathogens is still socially and economically important. It results from the increasing resistance of pests to plant protection products and the need to maintain high yields of crops, particularly oilseed crops used to manufacture edible and industrial oils and biofuels. We tested thirty-five semi-synthetic hydrazide-hydrazones with aromatic fragments of natural origin against phytopathogenic laccase-producing fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Cerrena unicolor. Among the investigated molecules previously identified as potent laccase inhibitors were also strong antifungal agents against the fungal species tested. The highest antifungal activity showed derivatives of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and salicylic aldehydes with 3-tert-butyl, phenyl, or isopropyl substituents. S. sclerotiorum appeared to be the most susceptible to the tested compounds, with the lowest IC50 values between 0.5 and 1.8 µg/mL. We applied two variants of phytotoxicity tests for representative crop seeds and selected hydrazide-hydrazones. Most tested molecules show no or low phytotoxic effect for flax and sunflower seeds. Moreover, a positive impact on seed germination infected with fungi was observed. With the potential for application, the cytotoxicity of the hydrazide-hydrazones of choice toward MCF-10A and BALB/3T3 cell lines was lower than that of the azoxystrobin fungicide tested.

Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation as Potential Anticancer and Antioxidant Agents of Diphenylamine-Pyrrolidin-2-one-Hydrazone Derivatives. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16804.

Abstract
The title compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 5-oxo-1-(4-(phenylamino)phenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazide with various aldehydes bearing aromatic and heterocyclic moieties and acetophenones, and their cytotoxicity was tested via MTT assay against human triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231, human melanoma IGR39, human pancreatic carcinoma Panc-1, and prostate cancer cell line PPC-1. Furthermore, the selectivity of compounds towards cancer cells compared to fibroblasts was also investigated. Four compounds were identified as the most promising anticancer agents out of a series of pyrrolidinone-hydrazone derivatives bearing a diphenylamine moiety. These compounds were most selective against the prostate cancer cell line PPC-1 and the melanoma cell lines IGR39, with EC50 values in the range of 2.5-20.2 µM against these cell lines. In general, the compounds were less active against triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line, and none of them showed an inhibitory effect on the migration of these cells. In the 'wound healing' assay, N'-((5-nitrothiophen-2-yl)methylene)-5-oxo-1-(4-(phenylamino)phenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazide was identified as the most promising derivative that could be further developed as an antimetastatic agent. N'-(5-chloro- and N'-(3,4-dichlorobenzylidene)-5-oxo-1-(4-(phenylamino)phenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides most efficiently reduced the cell viability in IGR39 cell spheroids, while there was no effect of the investigated pyrrolidinone-hydrazone derivatives on PPC-1 3D cell cultures. Antioxidant activity determined via FRAP assay of N'-(1-(4-aminophenyl)ethylidene)-5-oxo-1-(4-(phenylamino)phenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazide was 1.2 times higher than that of protocatechuic acid.

Abstract
Acyl hydrazones are a class of synthetically important organic compounds that are recurrently in high demand for synthesis and use in various fields of chemistry and biology. We report the first Co(II) catalyzed one-component one-pot sustainable synthesis of acyl hydrazones only from acyl hydrazides under mild reaction conditions. Traditional and contemporary methodologies use two components (usually acyl hydrazides and aldehydes/ketones/alcohols/styrene) as the coupling partners. Our protocol, on the other hand, involves the in situ generation of aldehyde intermediate (detected by gas chromatography) from the acyl hydrazide, which then undergoes condensation with another molecule of the same acyl hydrazide in the same pot to yield acyl hydrazones in presence of mild base K2 CO3 and low-cost Co(OAc)2 ⋅ 4H2 O as catalyst. This method shows good functional group tolerance with good to excellent yield of products. Furthermore, some of the resulting acyl hydrazones have been used as synthetic precursors and explored in various post-synthetic modifications to afford N-heterocyclic compounds. Furthermore, photoswitchable properties of few synthesized acyl hydrazones are also explored using their E/Z isomerization around the C=N bond, as realized by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV-vis spectroscopic studies.

Abstract
N-Acylhydrazones are a versatile class of organic compounds with a diversity of potential applications. In this study, two new structure-related 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl-containing N-acylhydrazones were synthesized and fully characterized, both in solution and in the solid state. The compounds differ with respect to the carbonyl precursors, i.e., 3-substituted salicylaldehydes with either a methyl or a nitro group. Single crystals of both compounds were isolated from the respective mother liquors and, in both cases, XRD confirmed the obtention of the (E)-isomer, in an anti-conformation. Computational calculations (gas and water phases) were performed in order to confirm some of the structural and vibrational aspects of the compounds. An important intramolecular H bond involving the phenolic hydroxy group and the azomethine nitrogen was identified in the solid state and seems to be maintained in solution. Moreover, the presence of the electron-withdrawing nitro substituent makes this interaction stronger. However, the contact should probably not subsist for the nitro compound under physiological conditions since the presence of this substituent significantly affects the pKa of the phenol: an apparent value of 5.68 ± 0.02 was obtained. This also impacts the basicity of the azomethine nitrogen and, as a consequence, increases the hydrazone's susceptibility to hydrolysis. Nevertheless, both compounds are stable at physiological-like conditions, especially the methyl-derived one, which qualifies them for further toxicological and activity studies, such as those involving trivalent metal ions sequestering in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

A new series of acylhydrazones derived from metribuzin with modulated herbicidal activity. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21313.

Abstract
This paper reports the preparation and herbicidal evaluation of a small library of acylhydrazones based on the synthetic herbicide metribuzin. The hydrazone linkage easily obtained by reaction of metribuzin with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, masks efficiently the exocyclic amino group, thereby altering significantly H-bonding with the receptor and increasing the lipophilicity relative to the parent herbicide. The structures of all compounds, including key stereochemical issues on conformation and E/Z configuration around the C[bond, double bond]N bond were thoroughly elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and unambiguously corroborated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The herbicidal assays using an aliphatic and an aromatic acylhydrazone were performed on tomato and rapeseed plants grown in greenhouse. Our results demonstrate, regardless of rate application, that such acylhydrazone formulations do not alter the selectivity of metribuzin. Moreover, the herbicide activity was even higher in the alkyl derivative than that achieved by commercial metribuzin, thus suggesting that this substance can be applied with no need of combination with chemical coadjuvants, unlike most formulations of commercially available herbicides. Therefore, the study shows the promising effect of chemical derivatization of a common herbicide as metribuzin, to improve the herbicide activity without compromising selectivity, and allowing the farmers its use in crop protection safely and effectively.

Abstract
A new series of 8-nitroquinolone-based aromatic heterocyclic acyl hydrazones have been synthesised and characterised through various spectroscopic techniques. They were theoretically examined for molecular docking with various proteins related to the apoptosis of the non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549. The results indicate that the possible modes of interaction of all the synthesised compounds are compatible for use as anti-proliferative drugs. Also, the drug-likeness of the compounds was examined through theoretical ADMET analysis, which indicated good gastrointestinal absorption as well as low toxicity. Selected compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-cancer activity using A549, MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines through an MTT assay to determine cytotoxicity. Compounds 3c, 3a and 11c exhibited significant cytotoxicity towards A549 cells in the order of 3c (15.3 ± 0.7) > 3a (15.8 ± 0.1) > 11c (17.1 ± 0.2), whereas all the compounds show insignificant toxicity on normal human embryonic kidney cells up to a concentration of 200 μM. The best compounds among the series (3c and 11c) were chosen for further detection of apoptosis through fluorescence microscopic techniques using AO/EtBr and DAPI. The reduced DNA synthesis during the cell cycle was also investigated through flow cytometric techniques. The results indicate that the compounds possess significant anticancer properties due to the activation of the mitochondrial mediated intrinsic pathway.

Abstract
The autoglobulin gene is the main enzyme for circulating LPA production and has lysophosphatidylcholine D activity, which catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid and choline with lysophosphatidylcholine as substrate. A growing body of experimental evidence suggests that autoglobulin is involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. This review summarizes the different structural ATX inhibitors classified according to their binding mode to the ATX triple orientation site, and summarizes the conformational relationships and molecular docking of each type with ATX structure, hoping to contribute to the development of novel ATX inhibitors.

Abstract
Candida albicans, an opportunistic yeast, is the most common cause of fungal infection. In the past decade, there has been an increase in C. albicans resistance to existing antifungal drugs, which has necessitated the development of new antifungal agents. In the present study, screening 60 compounds from the JUNIA chemical library enabled us to explore an additional 11 hybrid compounds that contain pyrrolidinone rings and hydrazine moieties for their potential antifungal activities. This chemical series was identified with fair to excellent antifungal activities. Among this series, three molecules (Hyd.H, Hyd.OCH3, and Hyd.Cl) significantly reduced C. albicans viability, with rapid fungicidal activity. In addition, these three compounds exhibited significant antifungal activity against clinically isolated fluconazole- or caspofungin-resistant C. albicans strains. Hyd.H, Hyd.OCH3, and Hyd.Cl did not show any cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines up to a concentration of 50 µg/mL and decreased Candida biofilm formation, with a significant reduction of 60% biofilm formation with Hyd.OCH3. In an infection model of Caenorhabditis elegans with C. albicans, hydrazine-based compounds significantly reduced nematode mortality. Overall, fungicidal activity was observed for Hyd.H, Hyd.OCH3, and Hyd.Cl against C. albicans, and these compounds protected C. elegans from C. albicans infection.

[PMID: 36638264 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202200548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The N-acylhydrazone motif has been shown to be particularly adaptable and promising in the area of medicinal chemistry and drug development, due to its significant biological and pharmacological characteristics. Moreover, N-acylhydrazones are appealing synthetic and biological tools because of their simple and straightforward synthesis. This scaffold has emerged as a fundamental building block for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Particularly, the N-acylhydrazone scaffold served as a base for the synthesis of a number of potent anticancer agents acting via different mechanisms. An updated summary of the anticancer activity of N-acylhydrazone derivatives described in the literature (from 2017 to 2022) is provided in the current review. It discusses the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of N-acylhydrazone derivatives exhibiting anticancer potential, which could be helpful in designing and developing new derivatives as effective antiproliferative candidates in the future.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) represents a valuable target to design antitrypanosomal agents by its high toxicity against trypanosomatids and minimal side effects on host macrophages. The progress of NO-donors as antitrypanosomal has been restricted by the high toxicity of their agents, which usually is based on NO-heterocycles and metallic NO-complexes. Herein, we carried out the design of a new class of NO-donors based on the susceptibility of the hydrazine moiety connected to an electron-deficient ring to be reduced to the amine moiety with release of NO. Then, a series of novel 2-arylquinazolin-4-hydrazine, with the potential ability to disrupt the parasite folate metabolism, were synthesized. Their in vitro evaluation against Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi parasites and mechanistic aspects were investigated. The compounds displayed significant leishmanicidal activity, identifying three potential candidates, that is, 3b, 3c, and 3f, for further assays by their good antiamastigote activities against Leishmania braziliensis, low toxicity, non-mutagenicity, and good ADME profile. Against T. cruzi parasites, derivatives 3b, 3c, and 3e displayed interesting levels of activities and selectivities. Mechanistic studies revealed that the 2-arylquinazolin-4-hydrazines act as either antifolate or NO-donor agents. NMR, fluorescence, and theoretical studies supported the fact that the quinazolin-hydrazine decomposed easily in an oxidative environment via cleavage of the N-N bond to release the corresponding heterocyclic-amine and NO. Generation of NO from axenic parasites was confirmed by the Griess test. All the evidence showed the potential of hydrazine connected to the electron-deficient ring to design effective and safe NO-donors against trypanosomatids.

Abstract
Background Several metabolites released by fungal species are an essential source of biologically active natural substances. Gas chromatography high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-HRTOF-MS) is one of the techniques used in profiling the metabolites produced by microorganisms, including Talaromyces pinophilus. However, there is limited information regarding differential substrates’ impacts on this fungal strain’s metabolite profiling. This study examined the metabolite profile of T. pinophilus strain SPJ22 cultured on three different media, including solid czapek yeast extract agar (CYA), malt extract agar (MEA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA) using GC-HRTOF-MS. The mycelia including the media were plugged and dissolved in 5 different organic solvents with varying polarities viz.: acetonitrile, dichloromethane, hexane, 80% methanol and water, and extracts analysed on GC-HRTOF-MS. Results The study revealed the presence of different classes of metabolites, such as fatty acids (2.13%), amides (4.26%), alkanes (34.04%), furan (2.13%), ketones (4.26%), alcohols (14.89%), aromatic compounds (6.38%), and other miscellaneous compounds (17.02%). Significant metabolites such as acetic acid, 9-octadecenamide, undecanoic acid methyl ester, hydrazine, hexadecane, nonadecane, eicosane, and other compounds reported in this study have been widely documented to have plant growth promoting, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and biofuel properties. Furthermore, T. pinophilus grown on PDA and MEA produced more than twice as many compounds as that grown on CYA. Conclusion Thus, our result showed that the production of essential metabolites from T. pinophilus is substrate dependent, with many of these metabolites known to have beneficial characteristics, and as such, this organism can be utilised as a sustainable and natural source for these useful organic molecules.

The Antiarrhythmic and Hypotensive Effects of S-61 and S-73, the Pyrrolidin-2-one Derivatives with α1-Adrenolytic Properties. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810381. [PMID: 36142287 PMCID: PMC9499458 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Heart rhythm abnormalities are a cause of many deaths worldwide. Unfortunately, the available antiarrhythmic drugs show limited efficacy and proarrhythmic potential. Thus, efforts should be made to search for new, more effective, and safer pharmacotherapies. Several studies suggested that blocking the α1-adrenoceptors could restore normal heart rhythm in arrhythmia. In this study, we aimed to assess the antiarrhythmic potential of S-61 and S-73, two novel pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives with high affinity for α1-adrenergic receptors. First, using radioligand binding studies, we demonstrated that S-61 and S-73 did not bind with β1-adrenoceptors. Next, we assessed whether S-61 and S-73 could protect rats against arrhythmia in adrenaline-, calcium chloride- and aconitine-induced arrhythmia models. Both compounds showed potent prophylactic antiarrhythmic properties in the adrenaline-induced arrhythmia model, but the effect of S-61 was more pronounced. None of the compounds displayed antiarrhythmic effects in calcium chloride- or aconitine-induced arrhythmia models. Interestingly, both derivatives revealed therapeutic antiarrhythmic activity in the adrenaline-induced arrhythmia, diminishing heart rhythm irregularities. Neither S-61 nor S-73 showed proarrhythmic potential in rats. Finally, the compounds decreased blood pressure in rodents. The hypotensive effects were not observed after coadministration with methoxamine, which suggests the α1-adrenolytic properties of both compounds. Our results confirm that pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives possess potent antiarrhythmic properties. Given the promising results of our experiments, further studies on pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives might result in the development of a new class of antiarrhythmic drugs.

Abstract
The 1-(4-acetamidophenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine carboxylic acid was applied for synthesizing derivatives bearing azole, diazole, and hydrazone moieties in the molecule. Modification of an acetamide fragment to the free amino group afforded compounds with two functional groups, which enabled to provide a series of 4-substituted-1-(4-substituted phenyl)pyrrolidine-2-ones. The resulted compounds 2 and 4-22 were subjected to the in vitro anticancer and antimicrobial activity determination. The compounds 18-22 exerted the most potent anticancer activity against A549 cells. Furthermore, compound 21 bearing 5-nitrothiophene substituents demonstrated promising and selective antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains, including linezolid and tedizolid-resistant S. aureus. These results demonstrate that 5-oxopyrolidine derivatives are attractive scaffolds for the further development of anticancer and antimicrobial compounds targeting multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens.

Abstract
As new environmentally friendly and effective antifungal agents are deeply needed, efficient ecofriendly strategies were designed to access two series of compounds inspired from natural γ-lactams. Designed compounds were fully characterized and evaluated as antifungal candidates against Zymoseptoria tritici, the main pathogen on wheat crops. The targeted derivatives were prepared from natural resources using green solvents, simple procedures, and limited purification steps. These bio-inspired compounds revealed as good candidates for further development of efficient crop protection products. Indeed, the HIT compounds exhibited IC50 around 1 μg/mL and were more active than the references tebuconazole and bixafen towards some multidrug-resistant strains. Two dozen of derivatives have been obtained for each series and allowed to establish early structure-activity relationships useful for the development of next generation of γ-lactam derivatives with improved efficacy.

Abstract
A series of novel mono and bishydrazones each bearing a 2-oxindole moiety along with substituted phenylaminopropanamide, pyrrolidin-2-one, benzimidazole, diphenylmethane, or diphenylamine fragments were synthesized, and their anticancer activities were tested by MTT assay against human melanoma A375 and colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 cell lines. In general, the synthesized compounds were more cytotoxic against HT-29 than A375. 3-((4-Methoxyphenyl)(3-oxo-3-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl)propyl)amino)-N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)propanehydrazide and (N′,N‴)-1,1′-(methylenebis(4,1-phenylene))bis(5-oxo-N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)pyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazide) were identified as the most active compounds against HT-29 in 2D and 3D cell cultures. The same compounds showed the highest antioxidant activity among the synthesized compounds screened by ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP). Their antioxidant activity is on par with that of a well-known antioxidant ascorbic acid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research into environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plant protection products, to promote sustainable agriculture and healthy food, is strongly encouraged. RESULTS In this context, 20 naturally occurring terpenoids and phenolic compounds were selected and evaluated in vitro as crop protection compounds against Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch of wheat. After selection of the most active compounds, some hemisynthetic modifications were conducted to modify their lipophilicity. These modifications led to the discovery of sesamol esters as promising antifungal agents, with IC50 around 10 μg/mL and a total absence of cytotoxicity against human cells. CONCLUSION These sesamol-based derivatives should be selected for further evaluations in planta to validate their use as wheat crop protection agents. Moreover, the importance of a balanced hydrophily/lipophilicity ratio should be further studied. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2021; 40:127962. [PMID: 33741463 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2021.127962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Osthole, a coumarin-type natural product, is isolated from Chinese traditional herbal medicine Cnidium monnieri. In order to improve the pesticidal activity of osthole, and high value-added application of the plant Cnidium monnieri, a series of new derivatives containing hydrazone/acylhydrazone/sulfonylhydrazone skeletons at the C-8 position of osthole were regioselectively semi-prepared. The steric structure of 3c was determined by the X-ray crystal structure. Against Mythimna separata Walker, benzoylhydrazone 3b (R1 = 4-CH3Ph) showed 1.6 folds potent insecticidal activity of the precursor osthole. Introduction of the acylhydrazones on the 3'-methyl-2'-butylenyl fragment at the C-8 position of osthole can improve the insecticidal activity. These will provide a foundation for future structural modifications of osthole as pesticidal agents.
