[PMID: 37921074 DOI: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2269592] [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: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023]
Abstract
Formononetin as a Bax agonist exhibits anticancer effects. To identify novel Bax agonist, 18 new structurally modified formononetin derivatives were synthesised and their anticancer activities were evaluated in the A549 and Beas-2b cell lines. The results indicated that 7a elicited the most potent inhibitory effect against the A549 cell line, with an IC50 value of 0.87 μM, and no obvious toxicity to Beas-2b cells. These results indicated that 7a was 40-fold and 6.94-fold more efficacious than Formononetin and Doxorubicin, respectively. Additionally, western blot and immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that 7a downregulated the protein expression of Bcl-2 and upregulated the expressions of Bax to promote A549 apoptosis, the obtained results also suggested that 7a had the potential to be developed into a lead compound that can be applied in the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

[PMID: 36952512 PMCID: PMC10035904 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0283289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023] Open
Abstract
A series of new derivatives based on sulfamethoxazole were designed and synthesized in this study. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed based on a comprehensive characterization of spectral data by applied IR and 1H as well as 13C NMR spectroscopy. The prepared compounds were tested for their anticancer and antimicrobial properties. Hydrazone 16b demonstrated convincing anticancer effect against all tested cell cultures such as human prostate carcinoma PPC-1 and human kidney carcinoma CaKi-1 cell lines, and human fibroblasts HF, n = 3. The most promising compound 16b showed higher activity against CaKi-1 cell line than the anticancer drugs axitinib and pazopanib used to treat renal cancer. Also, it was more active in the PPC-1 cell line compared to the approved PARP inhibitor Olaparib. Hydrazone 16b was also found to possess good antimicrobial properties against gram-positive bacteria strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, as well as Bacillus cereus.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of isoxazoline derivatives with monoterpene scaffold 9a-e in HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma, and A-549 lung carcinoma. The cytotoxic effects data revealed that compounds 9a-e generally induced significant cell growth inhibition in all cell lines, with IC50 ranging from 10 to 30 µM. However, for compounds 9c and 9e, the IC50 reached a value of 100 µM in HT-1080 cells. Compounds 9a, 9b, and 9d could induce apoptosis in HT-1080 cells as demonstrated by Annexin-V labeling and Caspase-3/7 activity. The apoptotic effect was accompanied by cell cycle arrest in the S phase. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics confirmed the empirical assay results and confirmed the stability of the complex with the inhibition of the anti-apoptotic protein, leading to cancer cell death. Overall, these data suggest that the proposed isoxazoline derivatives may be potential candidates for further investigation to evaluate their efficacy and optimal use in cancer treatment.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
(1) Background: Melanoma is an aggressive neoplasm derived from melanocyte precursors with a high metastatic potential. Responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy for melanoma remain weak, underlining the urgent need to develop new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of melanoma. (2) Methods: The viability of NHDF and A375 cell cultures after the administration of the tested isoxazole derivatives was assessed after 24-h and 48-h incubation periods with the test compounds in the MTT test. ROS and NO scavenging analyses, a glycoprotein-P activity analysis, a migration assay, a test of apoptosis, and a multiple-criteria decision analysis were also performed. (3) Results: All compounds that were tested resulted in a slower migration of melanoma neoplastic cells. The mechanism of the antitumor activity of the tested compounds was confirmed-i.e., the pro-apoptotic activity of the compounds in A375 cell cultures. Compound O7K qualified for further research. (4) Conclusions: All the tested compounds inhibited the formation of melanoma metastases and demonstrated the ability to reduce the risk of developing drug resistance in the tumor. The MCDA results showed that O7K showed the strongest antitumor activity.

Abstract
In the field of drug discovery, isoxazole is a five-membered heterocyclic moiety commonly found in many commercially available drugs. In view of their enormous significance, it is always imperative to unleash new eco-friendly synthetic strategies. Among various novel synthetic techniques in use for isoxazole synthesis, most synthetic methods employ Cu(i) or Ru(ii) as catalysts for (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction. The particular disadvantages associated with metal-catalyzed reactions are high costs, low abundance, toxicity, a significant generation of waste, and difficulty to separate from the reaction mixtures. In view of these drawbacks, it is always imperative to develop alternate metal-free synthetic routes. This review article highlights a comprehensive overview on the potential application of metal-free synthetic routes for the synthesis of isoxazoles with significant biological interests.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed tumor in men and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality in most developed countries. 3,5-Diaryl substituted pyrazole derivatives (20-28) were prepared starting from related chalcones and biologically evaluated for in vitro growth inhibition activity against PC3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cell lines. Compounds 23, 26, and 28 were found to be more potent as compared to the other halogen-substituted derivatives. Especially, the 2-bromo-substituted pyrazole derivative (26) was found to be more potent against PC3 and DU145 cells. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) are known to be expressed in DU145 and PC3 cancer cells. The binding mode of the most selective compound 26 toward EGFR and VEGFR2 was investigated by employing docking simulations based on GLIDE standard precision (-5.912 and -6.949 kcal/mol, respectively).

Abstract
A library of new 3-phenylisoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines (8-10) was designed based on a scaffold hybridization technique incorporating the important pharmacophoric features of 4-aminopyrimidine and phenyl isoxazole scaffold which is renowned for its BET inhibition activity. The designed molecules were synthesized and evaluated with the NCI-60 cell line panel. Examination by NCI-60 cell lines at single-dose and the five-dose study showed that compound 10h exhibited promising growth inhibitory effects with GI50 values on various cancer cell lines such as HCT-15 (Colon Cancer)-0.0221 μM, MDA-MB-435 (Melanoma) - 0.0318 μM, SNB-75(CNS Cancer)-0.0263 μM, and MCF7 (Breast Cancer)-0.0372 μM. Further studies to know the mechanism of action of 10h based on the phase-contrast microscopic evaluation, DAPI, acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining, and annexin V-FITC assays revealed that elevation in the intracellular ROS leads to alteration in mitochondrial membrane potential which in turn induced the apoptosis in BT-474 cancer cells, which could be the plausible mechanism of action for compound 10h.
