Abstract
Breast cancer remains a major global health issue, particularly affecting women and contributing significantly to mortality rates. Current treatments for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers, such as aromatase inhibitors, are effective but often come with side effects and resistance issues. This study addresses these gaps by targeting aromatase, an enzyme crucial for estrogen synthesis, which plays a pivotal role in breast cancer progression. The innovative approach involves synthesizing novel bis-triazolopyridopyrimidines, designed to leverage the combined pharmacological benefits of pyridopyrimidine and 1,2,4-triazole structures, known for their potent aromatase inhibition and anti-cancer properties. These compounds were synthesized and characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectral analyses, and their anticancer efficacy was evaluated through MTT assays against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines in vitro. Molecular docking analyses revealed strong binding energies with aromatase, particularly for compounds 5 b, 5 c, 10 a, and 10 b, indicating their potential as effective aromatase inhibitors. The study highlights these compounds as promising candidates for further development as therapeutic agents against breast cancer.

Abstract
AbstractHerein, we reported the synthesis of nineteen novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives including 1,3-diphenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) propan-1-ones (7a-e), 1-(1,3-diphenylpropan-2-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (8a-c) and 1,4-diphenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) butane-1,4-diones (10a-k). The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques like IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectroscopy and Elemental analysis. The cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines including MCF-7, Hela and A549 using MTT assay. Compounds 7d, 7e, 10a and 10d showed a promising cytotoxic activity lower than 12 μM against Hela cell line. The safety of these compounds was also, evaluated on MRC-5 as a normal cell line and relieved that most of the synthesized compounds have proper selectivity against normal and cytotoxic cancerous cell lines. Finally, molecular docking studies were also, done to understand the mechanism and binding modes of these derivatives in the binding pocket of aromatase enzyme as a possible target.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection remains one of the worst crises in global health. The prevention of HIV-1 infection is a crucial task that needs to be addressed due to the absence of a licensed vaccine against HIV-1. DNA vaccines present a promising alternative approach to combat HIV-1 infection due to their excellent safety profile, lack of severe side effects, and relatively rapid fabrication. Traditional vaccines composed of a monomeric envelope or peptide fragments have been indicated to lack protective efficacy mediated by inducing HIV-1-specific neutralizing antibodies in clinical trials. The immunogenicity and protection against HIV-1 induced by DNA vaccines are limited due to the poor uptake of these vaccines by antigen-presenting cells and their ready degradation by DNases and lysosomes. To address these issues of naked DNA vaccines, we described the feasibility of CpG-functionalized silica-coated calcium phosphate nanoparticles (SCPs) for efficiently delivering DNA-based HIV-1 trimeric envelope vaccines against HIV-1. Vaccines comprising the soluble BG505 SOSIP.664 trimer fused to the GCN4-based isoleucine zipper or bacteriophage T4 fibritin foldon motif with excellent simulation of the native HIV-1 envelope were chosen as trimer-based vaccine platforms. Our results showed that SCP-based DNA immunization could significantly induce both broad humoral immune responses and potent cellular immune responses compared to naked DNA vaccination in vivo. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to assess the feasibility of CpG-functionalized SCPs for efficiently delivering DNA vaccines expressing a native-like HIV-1 trimer. These CpG-functionalized SCPs for delivering DNA-based HIV-1 trimeric envelope vaccines may lead to the development of promising vaccine candidates against HIV-1.

Abstract
To explore the immunoregulatory function of peony seed proteolysis product in mice, the protein from peony seed meal was extracted and hydrolyzed with bromelain. The peony seed proteolysis product was fed to mice at three different doses of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 g/kg for 21 days. The immunoregulation abilities of peony seed proteolysis product after each of these doses were evaluated in mice. Our results showed that all immune indices were higher in mice that had received a lavage with peony seed proteolysis product than in control mice. The immune indices of immune organs, delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (DTH), phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages, serum hemolysin levels, lymphocyte proliferation (SI value), and levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in the middle dose and high dose groups were significantly higher (p < .05) or extremely significant (p < .01) in comparison with the control group. These results indicate that the peony seed proteolysis product enhances immunological functions in mice. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Peony seed is rich in proteins and can be extracted and hydrolyzed using bromelain. The peony seed proteolysis product can enhance the nonspecific, humoral, and cellular immune responses. Thus, peony seed could be of potential value to obtain peony seed protein, which can be further developed and utilized in the manufacture of functional health products.

Abstract
Sesquiterpene compounds are widely known for their numerous pharmacological activities. Herein the focus of the authors was on α-Santonin, a sesquiterpene lactone from the Artemisia genus: the aim was to determine whether α-Santonin could be considered in the treatment of inflammation and pain. To this purpose, a small series of derivatives was designed and screened in silico against the enzyme COX-2 along with the parent compound. Drug-likeness parameters were also assessed. The compounds were eventually synthesized, and few were tested to determine their efficacy in the inhibition of COX-2 activity and expression. Overall, compound A2 was the only one with a detectable inhibitory potential of COX-2 activity whilst two of its ether derivatives demonstrated improved ability in the inhibition of COX-2 expression.

Abstract
Two series of xanthotoxin-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and studied for their antiproliferative properties. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the compounds in the AGS cancer cell line and the L02 normal cell line was evaluated via MTT assay. Among the synthesized compounds, 9-((1-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one (6p) was found to have the greatest antiproliferative activity against AGS cells (IC50=7.5μM) and showed better activity than the lead compound (xanthotoxin, IC50>100μM) and the reference drug (5-fluorouracil, IC50=29.6μM) did. The IC50 value of 6p in L02 cells was 13.3 times higher than that in the AGS cells. Therefore, the compound exhibited better therapeutic activity and specificity compared with the positive control 5-fluorouracil. Cell cycle analysis revealed that compound 6p inhibited cell growth via the induction of S/G2 phase arrest in AGS cells. Compound 6p was identified as a promising lead compound for the further development and identification of 1,2,3-triazole-based anticancer agents.

Abstract
As a therapeutic target for antitumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α interventions, UbcH5c is one of the key ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes catalyzing ubiquitination during TNF-α-triggered nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation. In the present study, three series of analogues were designed and synthesized from α-santonin, and their UbcH5c inhibitory activities were screened by Western blotting and NF-κB luciferase assay. Further BIAcore, in-gel fluorescence imaging, and immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that compound 6d exhibited robust and specific inhibition of UbcH5c, exceeding that of the positive compound 1 (IJ-5). Mechanistic investigations revealed that compound 6d preferentially bound to and inactivated UbcH5c by forming a covalent adduct with its active site Cys85. Furthermore, compound 6d exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity against complete Freund's adjuvant-induced adjuvant arthritis in vivo. These findings suggest that the novel α-santonin-derived UbcH5c inhibitor 6d is a promising lead compound for the development of new antirheumatoid arthritis (RA) agent.

Abstract
In an endeavour to develop potent anti-tumor agents from betulinic acid (BA), a series of C-28 derived 1,2,3-triazolyl derivatives were designed and synthesized by employing Cu(I) catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. All the derivatives were evaluated for cytotoxic activity by MTT assay against five different human cancer cell lines: lung (A549), colon (HCT116), prostate (PC3), pancreatic (MIA PaCa-2) and breast (T47D). The data revealed that compounds 11c, 11d, 11g, 11h and 13a possess most promising cytotoxic potential. The compound 11h was one of the most active compounds, with IC50 values in the range of 4-6µM against all the five cancer cell lines. The results of this study suggested that derivatives with free -OH (11c, 11d and 11g) and free -COOH (11h and 13a) substitutions in the triazole moiety introduced at the C-28 position significantly improved the anti-tumor activity and may be the favourable position to synthesize potent anticancer leads from BA. Introduction of a non polar alkyl groups at C-28 position (10, 12 and 14) resulted in the significant loss of the activity. Further, DAPI staining, ROS generation and wound healing experiments revealed that compound 11h induces apoptosis in HCT-116 cells.

Abstract
In continuation of our endeavours to synthesize immunosuppressive agents from α-santonin, we report herein the design and synthesis of a new series of α-santonin derived O-aryl/aliphatic ether, ester and amide analogs and the evaluation of their immunosuppressive activities. The in vitro studies led to several analogs with significant immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting ConA and LPS stimulated T- and B-cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner. The more significant compounds 4d, 4e, 4f, 4h, 6a and 6b displayed potent inhibitory activity on the mitogen-induced T- and B-cell proliferation in comparison to α-santonin 1. Compound 4e displayed stupendous in vitro immunosuppressive effects with ∼80% suppression of B and ∼75% suppression of T lymphocyte proliferation, respectively. The in vivo investigation on BALB/c mice revealed that non-cytotoxic compound 4e suppresses both humoral and cellular immunity.

Synthesis of α-santonin derivatives for diminutive effect on T and B-cell proliferation and their structure activity relationships. Eur J Med Chem 2016; 127:1047-1058. [PMID: 27847171 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2016.11.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2016] [Revised: 10/24/2016] [Accepted: 11/08/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
A new library of 20 compounds from α-santonin was synthesized and tested against Con-A induced T-cell proliferation and LPS-induced B-cell proliferation via MTT assay. The study resulted in the identification of potent immunosuppressant molecules, which were further screened along with α-santonin for Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) inhibitory activity. One of the molecules (7) at 10 μM showed equipotency to that of dexamethasone (1 μM conc.) used as a standard. Structure activity relationships of the synthesized compounds along with our earlier reported α-santonin derivatives have been studied. Inferences from the modifications carried out at all the three sites of α-santonin have been elaborated. Computational study of the active compounds shows TNF-α protein as its preferable target rather than Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase (IMPDH).

Abstract
A new series of α-santonin derived acetyl santonous acid 1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesised using Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition reaction (click chemistry approach) and evaluated for their in vitro inhibition activity on concanavalin A (ConA) induced T cell proliferation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced B cell proliferation. Among the synthesised series, compounds 2-10 and 19 exhibited significant inhibition against ConA and LPS stimulated T-cell and B-cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner. More significantly compounds 4, 9-10 and 19 exhibited potent inhibition activity with remarkably lower cytotoxicity on the mitogen-induced T cell and B cell proliferation at 1 μM concentration. The compound 6 displayed potent immunosuppressive effects with ∼89% against LPS induced B-cell and ∼83% against ConA stimulated T-cell proliferation at 100 μM concentration without cytotoxicity. Compound 10 was more selective against B cell proliferation and exhibited 81% and 69% suppression at 100 and 1 μM concentration respectively. The present study led to the identification of several santonin analogs with reduced cytotoxicity and strong inhibition activity against the cell proliferation induced by the mitogens.
