Abstract
With the objective to identify novel anticancer leads, herein ruthenium-catalyzed electrochemical homo- and heterocoupling reactions of terminal alkynes have been developed for the synthesis of the desired products. Among the synthesized 1,3-diynes, some of them were rigorously examined for possible in vitro anticancer activity against HeLa (human cervical cancer) and L6 normal (rat skeletal muscle) cell lines. Additionally, the docking study was also performed toward 16 ovarian cancer targets with binding affinity calculations with respect to the standard. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first scientific report on the ruthenium-catalyzed electrochemical homocoupling reaction between terminal alkynes with its in vitro anticancer and in silico docking studies.

Rational design, chemical synthesis and cellular evaluation of novel 1,3-diynyl derivatives of noscapine as potent tubulin binding anticancer agents. J Mol Graph Model 2021; 106:107933. [PMID: 33991960 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.107933] [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: 11/14/2020] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
We present a new class of derivatives of noscapine, 1,3-diynyl-noscapinoids of an antitussive plant alkaloid, noscapine based on our in silico efforts that binds tubulin and displays anticancer activity against a panel of breast cancer cells. Structure-activity analyses pointed the C-9 position of the isoquinoline ring which was modified by coupling of 1,3-diynyl structural motifs to rationally design and screened a series of novel 1,3-diynyl-noscapinoids (20-22) with robust binding affinity with tubulin. The selected 1,3-diynyl-noscapinoids, 20-22 revealed improved predicted binding energy of -6.568 kcal/mol for 20, -7.367 kcal/mol for 21 and -7.922 kcal/mol for 22, respectively in comparison to the lead molecule (-5.246 kcal/mol). These novel derivatives were chemically synthesized and validated their anticancer activity based on cellular studies using two human breast adenocarcinoma, MCF-7 and MDAMB-231, as well as with a panel of primary breast cancer cells isolated from patients. Interestingly, all these derivatives inhibited cellular proliferation in all the cancer cells that ranged between 6.2 to 38.9 μM, which is 6.7 to 1.5 fold lower than that of noscapine. Unlike previously reported derivatives of noscapine that arrests cells in the S-phase, these novel derivatives effectively inhibit proliferation of cancer cells, arrests cell cycle in the G2/M-phase followed by apoptosis and appearance of apoptotic cells. Thus, we conclude that 1,3-diynyl-noscapinoids have great potential to be a novel therapeutic agent for breast cancers.

Advances and Perspectives in the Management of Varicella-Zoster Virus Infections. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26041132.

Abstract
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a common and ubiquitous human-restricted pathogen, causes a primary infection (varicella or chickenpox) followed by establishment of latency in sensory ganglia. The virus can reactivate, causing herpes zoster (HZ, shingles) and leading to significant morbidity but rarely mortality, although in immunocompromised hosts, VZV can cause severe disseminated and occasionally fatal disease. We discuss VZV diseases and the decrease in their incidence due to the introduction of live-attenuated vaccines to prevent varicella or HZ. We also focus on acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir (FDA approved drugs to treat VZV infections), brivudine (used in some European countries) and amenamevir (a helicase-primase inhibitor, approved in Japan) that augur the beginning of a new era of anti-VZV therapy. Valnivudine hydrochloride (FV-100) and valomaciclovir stearate (in advanced stage of development) and several new molecules potentially good as anti-VZV candidates described during the last year are examined. We reflect on the role of antiviral agents in the treatment of VZV-associated diseases, as a large percentage of the at-risk population is not immunized, and on the limitations of currently FDA-approved anti-VZV drugs. Their low efficacy in controlling HZ pain and post-herpetic neuralgia development, and the need of multiple dosing regimens requiring daily dose adaptation for patients with renal failure urges the development of novel anti-VZV drugs.

Abstract
A C2-symmetric internally conjugated 1,3-dialkyne system 5, containing phenolphthalein as a fluorophore and ferrocene as a redox moiety, has been synthesized via a microwave-assisted synthetic procedure. Compound 5 was synthesized by Cu-catalyzed Glaser-Hay coupling using a microwave reactor in neat condition for the first time. Compound 5 was found to be highly selective toward Fe3+, Cu2+, and Hg2+ ions via multichannels. Interestingly, Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions simply promote the oxidation of ferrocene unit to ferrocenium ion without binding to the receptor, whereas Hg2+ binds with the receptor 5 (ΔE1/2 = 71 mV). The oxidation and binding phenomena were investigated by optical and electrochemical analyses. Furthermore, the binding site of Hg2+ ion with our designed probe was confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR and IR titrations, which indicated that conjugated dialkyne unit interacts with Hg2+ ion by a favorable soft-soft interaction. Both receptor 5 and its metal complex, [5·2Hg2+], are stable in the physiological pH range (pH = 6-7) and thermally stable up to 78 °C. The experimental results of metal binding have been further supported by quantum chemical calculations (DFT), which explore the favorable geometry of the free ligand as well as its Hg2+ complex.

Abstract
A series of novel N-acyclic uracil analogs with linear, branched, aromatic, and cyclopropyl-alkynyl as well as heteroaryl moieties at C-5 were prepared using palladium catalyzed Sonogashira and Stille cross-coupling and evaluated against malignant tumor cell lines. C-5-Furan-2-yl uracil derivative 6 was shown to be more potent against MCF-7 than the reference drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), while C-5-alkynyl uracil derivatives 9c and 9e exhibited antibreast cancer activities comparable to 5-FU. Selected compounds induced cell death, partially due to apoptosis, of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Abrogation of acid ceramidase (ASAH1) expression of 9c and 9e indicated that these compounds could perturb ASAH1-mediated sphingolipid signaling. The selective activity of 9c and 9e against breast cancer cells via the ASAH1-mediated signaling, as a molecular target, might have a great advantage for potential future therapeutic use.
