Maldonado J, Oliva A, Guzmán L, Molinari A, Acevedo W. Synthesis, Anticancer Activity, and Docking Studies of Novel Hydroquinone-Chalcone-Pyrazoline Hybrid Derivatives. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7281. [PMID: 39000394 PMCID: PMC11242894 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
A novel series of antitumor hybrids was synthesized using 1,4-benzohydroquinone and chalcone, furane, or pyrazoline scaffolds. This were achieved through isosteric substitution of the aryl group of the chalcone β-carbon with the furanyl moiety and structural modification of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system. The potential antitumor activity of these hybrids was evaluated in vivo on MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma and HT-29 colorectal carcinoma cells, demonstrating cytotoxic activity with IC50 values ranging from 28.8 to 124.6 µM. The incorporation of furan and pyrazoline groups significantly enhanced antiproliferative properties compared to their analogues and precursors (VII-X), which were inactive against both neoplastic cell lines. Compounds 4, 5, and 6 exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity against both cell lines, whereas compound 8 showed higher cytotoxic activity against HT-29 cells. Molecular docking studies revealed superior free-energy values (ΔGbin) for carcinogenic pathway-involved kinase proteins, with our in silico data suggesting that these derivatives could be promising chemotherapeutic agents targeting kinase pathways. Among all the synthesized PIBHQ compounds, derivatives 7 and 8 exhibited the best drug-likeness properties, with values of 0.53 and 0.83, respectively. ADME results collectively suggest that most of these compounds hold promise as potential candidates for preclinical assays.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 2,3-Di-O-Aryl/Alkyl sulfonate derivatives of l-ascorbic acid: Efficient access to novel anticancer agents via in vitro screening, tubulin polymerization inhibition, molecular docking study and ADME predictions. Bioorg Chem 2024; 147:107402. [PMID: 38688199 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
A series of novel l-ascorbic acid derivatives bearing aryl and alkyl sulfonate substituents were synthesized and characterized. In vitro anticancer evaluation against MCF-7 (breast) and A-549 (lung) cancer cell lines revealed potent activity for most of the compounds, with 2b being equipotent to the standard drug colchicine against MCF-7 (IC50 = 0.04 μM). Notably, compound 2b displayed 89-fold selectivity for MCF-7 breast cancer over MCF-10A normal breast cells. Derivatives with two sulfonate groups (2a-g, 3a-g) exhibited superior potency over those with one sulfonate (4a-c,5g, 6b). Compounds 2b and 2c potently inhibited tubulin polymerization in A-549 cancer cells (73.12 % and 62.09 % inhibition, respectively), substantiating their anticancer potential through microtubule disruption. Molecular docking studies showed higher binding scores and affinities for these compounds at the colchicine-binding site of α, β-tubulin compared to colchicine itself. In-silico ADMET predictions indicated favourable drug-like properties, with 2b exhibiting the highest binding affinity. These sulfonate derivatives of l-ascorbic acid represents promising lead scaffolds for anticancer drug development.

Abstract
Neurological disorders are the leading cause of a large number of mortalities and morbidities. Nitrogen heterocyclic compounds have been pivotal in exhibiting wide array of therapeutic applications. Among them, tetrazole is a ubiquitous class of organic heterocyclic compounds that have attracted much attention because of its unique structural and chemical properties, and a wide range of pharmacological activities comprising anti-convulsant effect, antibiotic, anti-allergic, anti-hypertensive to name a few. Owing to significant chemical and biological properties, the present review aimed at highlighting the recent advances in tetrazole derivatives with special emphasis on their role in the management of neurological diseases. Besides, in-depth structure-activity relationships, molecular docking studies, and associated modes of action of tetrazole derivatives evident in in vitro, in vivo preclinical, and clinical studies have been discussed.

Abstract
A new efficient and stereoselective synthesis of 12-tetrazolyl substituted (E)-5H-quinazolino[3,2-a]quinazolines via sequential Ugi-azide/Staudinger/aza-Wittig/addition/Ag(I)-catalyzed cyclization was developed. The four-component reactions of 2-azidobenzaldehyde, 2-(alkynyl)benzenamine, isocyanide, and trimethylsilyl azide gave Ugi-azide intermediates, which were subsequently treated with triphenylphosphine and isocyanate to produce 12-tetrazolyl substituted (E)-5H-quinazolino[3,2-a]quinazolines in the presence of Ag(I) catalyst and K2CO3.

Abstract
In this work, we present an efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of three new azo-isoxazoline derivatives (4a–c) from aromatic aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 4-(allyloxy)azobenzene. Thus, the azo-isoxazoline derivatives (4a–c) were synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) as an eco-friendly and inexpensive oxidizing agent under ultrasound cavitation in water as a green solvent. The desired compounds 4a–c were obtained in high to excellent yields of 75–90%.

Abstract
Heterocycles of synthetic and natural origin are a well-established class of compounds representing a broad range of organic molecules that constitute over 60% of drugs and agrochemicals in the market or research pipeline. Considering the vast abundance of these structural motifs, the development of chemical processes providing easy access to novel complex target molecules by introducing environmentally benign conditions with the main focus on improving the cost-effectiveness of the chemical transformation is highly demanding and challenging. Accordingly, sonochemistry appears to be an excellent alternative and a highly feasible environmentally benign energy input that has recently received considerable and steadily increasing interest in organic synthesis. However, the involvement of transition-metal-catalyst(s) in a chemical process often triggers an unintended impact on the greenness or sustainability of the transformation. Consequently, enormous efforts have been devoted to developing metal-free routes for assembling various heterocycles of medicinal interest, particularly under ultrasound irradiation. The present review article aims to demonstrate a brief overview of the current progress accomplished in the ultrasound-assisted synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant diverse heterocycles using transition-metal-free catalysis.

Abstract
In the present study, following a one-pot two-step protocol, we have synthesized novel sulfonamides-isoxazolines hybrids (3a-r) via a highly regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The present methodology capitalized on trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as a safe and ecological oxidant and chlorinating agent for the in-situ conversion of aldehydes to nitrile oxides in the presence of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, under ultrasound activation. These nitrile oxides could be engaged in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various alkene to afford the targeted sulfonamides-isoxazolines hybrids (3a-r). The latter were assessed for their antineoplastic activity against model leukemia cell lines (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, K562 and Promyelocytic Leukemia, HL-60).
