Abstract
An organocatalytic [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between thiazolidine-containing β-ketoester 1 and aryl azides 2 was employed to synthesize new 1,2,3-triazolyl-thiazolidine hybrids 3. In this metal-free approach, twelve compounds were isolated in yields ranging from 23 % to 96 % by using diethylamine (10 mol%) and DMSO at 75 °C for 24 hours. DNA-binding assays were conducted through absorption, emission spectroscopy and viscosimetry analysis, to evaluate the interaction capacity of the studied derivatives with nucleic acids. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their interactions with a specific group of compounds containing the pharmacophoric groups triazole and thiazolidine through a molecular docking speculative study, aimed at identifying the interaction profile of these compounds with DNA. The obtained results suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-thiazolidine hybrids could be a promising approach in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting DNA-related processes.

Abstract
To create some novel anticancer molecules, a library of novel series of various triazoles linked to the hydroxyl group of 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoronaphthalen-1-ol (3) was designed and synthesized via CuAAC reaction 'Click Chemistry' of tetrafluoronaphthalene based terminal alkyne with substituted organic azides. The structural characterizations of the targeted Click products 9-18 were confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, 19F NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectroscopy. Synthesized compounds were tested in two triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines to understand their anticancer potentials. According to our findings, compounds 14 and 13 showed high cytotoxicity in BT549 cells at 20 μM and 30 μM, respectively. Moreover, these compounds blocked the migration of BT549 cells. In the MDA-MB-231 cell line, compound 18 exhibited high cytotoxicity and can block cell migration for 24 h. Molecular docking study with synthesized novel compounds was performed by Glide/SP method against SphK1 drug target. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out for the compounds 12-14 and 18. The compounds 13 and 14 may be potential inhibitor candidates in place of a reference inhibitor. A pharmacophore model was generated with the most potent compound 14, and the approved drugs were screened using the modules of Discovery Studio to find similar drugs. Consequently, this comprehensive study encompassing design, synthesis, in vitro and in silico analyses were correlated with the structure-activity relationship between compounds. The findings have the potential to unveil promising drug candidates for future studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In our continuing efforts to discover novel triazoles with improved antifungal activity in vitro and in vivo, a series of 41 novel compounds containing 1,2,3-triazole side chains were designed and synthesized via a click reaction based on our previous work. Most of the compounds showed moderate to excellent broad-spectrum antifungal activity in vitro. Among them, the most promising compound 9A16 displayed excellent antifungal and anti-drug-resistant fungal ability (MIC80 = 0.0156-8 μg/mL). In addition, compound 9A16 showed powerful in vivo efficacy on mice systematically infected with Candida albicans SC5314, Cryptococcus neoformans H99, fluconazole-resistant C. albicans 100, and Aspergillus fumigatus 7544. Moreover, compared to fluconazole, compound 9A16 showed better in vitro anti-biofilm activity and was more difficult to induce drug resistance in a 1 month induction of resistance assay in C. albicans. With favorable pharmacokinetics, an acceptable safety profile, and high potency in vitro and in vivo, compound 9A16 is currently under preclinical investigation.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp), an ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter, is an ATP-dependent efflux pump responsible for cancer multidrug resistance. As part of efforts to identify human Pgp (hPgp) inhibitors, we prepared a series of novel triazole-conjugated dihydropyrimidinones using a synthetic approach that is well suited for obtaining compound libraries. Several of these dihydropyrimidinone derivatives modulate human P-glycoprotein (hPgp) activity with low micromolar EC50 values. Molecular docking studies suggest that these compounds bind to the M-site of the transporter.

Combinatorial Delivery of Gallium (III) Nitrate and Curcumin Complex-Loaded Hollow Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Breast Cancer Treatment. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12091472.

Abstract
The main aims in the development of a novel drug delivery vehicle is to efficiently carry therapeutic drugs in the body's circulatory system and successfully deliver them to the targeted site as needed to safely achieve the desired therapeutic effect. In the present study, a passive targeted functionalised nanocarrier was fabricated or wrapped the hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) to prepare APTES-coated hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNAP). A nitrogen sorption analysis confirmed that the shape of hysteresis loops is altered, and subsequently the pore volume and pore diameters of GaC-HMSNAP was reduced by around 56 and 37%, respectively, when compared with HMSNAP. The physico-chemical characterisation studies of fabricated HMSNAP, Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP have confirmed their stability. The drug release capacity of the fabricated Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP for delivery of gallium and curcumin was evaluated in the phosphate buffered saline (pH 3.0, 6.0 and 7.4). In an in silico molecular docking study of the gallium-curcumin complex in PDI, calnexin, HSP60, PDK, caspase 9, Akt1 and PTEN were found to be strong binding. In vitro antitumor activity of both Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP treated MCF-7 cells was investigated in a dose and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values of GaC-HMSNAP (25 µM) were significantly reduced when compared with free gallium concentration (40 µM). The mechanism of gallium-mediated apoptosis was analyzed through western blotting and GaC-HMSNAP has increased caspases 9, 6, cleaved caspase 6, PARP, and GSK 3β(S9) in MCF-7 cells. Similarly, GaC-HMSNAP is reduced mitochondrial proteins such as prohibitin1, HSP60, and SOD1. The phosphorylation of oncogenic proteins such as Akt (S473), c-Raf (S249) PDK1 (S241) and induced cell death in MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, the findings revealed that Ga-HMSNAP and GaC-HMSNAP provide a controlled release of loaded gallium, curcumin and their complex. Altogether, our results depicted that GaC-HMNSAP induced cell death through the mitochondrial intrinsic cell death pathway, which could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for breast adenocarcinoma therapy.

Abstract
The electronic effect of the azide functional group on an aromatic system has been investigated using Hammett-Taft parameters obtained from the effect of azide substitution on the gas-phase acidity of phenol. Gas-phase acidities of 3- and 4-azidophenol have been measured using mass spectrometry and the kinetic method and found to be 340.8 ± 2.2 and 340.3 ± 2.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The relative electronic effects of the azide substituent on an aromatic system have been measured using Hammett-Taft parameters. The σF and σR values are determined to be 0.38 and 0.02, respectively, consistent with predictions based on electronic structure calculations. The values of σF and σR demonstrate that azide acts as an inductively withdrawing group but has negligible resonance contribution on the phenol. In contrast, acidity values calculated for azide-substituted benzoic acids give values of σF = 0.69 and σR = -0.39, indicating that the azide is a strong π donor, comparable to that of a hydroxyl group. The difference is explained as being the result of "chimeric", or, alternatively, "chameleonic" electronic behavior of the azide, similar to that observed previously for the N-oxide moiety, which can be more or less resonance donating in response to the environment.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10080913.

Abstract
Clostridioides (also known as Clostridium) difficile is a Gram-positive anaerobic, spore producing bacterial pathogen that causes severe gastrointestinal infection in humans. The current chemotherapeutic options are inadequate, expensive, and limited, and thus inexpensive drug treatments for C. difficile infection (CDI) with improved efficacy and specificity are urgently needed. To improve the solubility of our cationic amphiphilic 1,1′-binaphthylpeptidomimetics developed earlier that showed promise in an in vivo murine CDI model we have synthesized related compounds with an N-arytriazole or N-naphthyltriazole moiety instead of the 1,1′-biphenyl or 1,1′-binaphthyl moiety. This modification was made to increase the polarity and thus water solubility of the overall peptidomimetics, while maintaining the aromatic character. The dicationic N-naphthyltriazole derivative 40 was identified as a C. difficile-selective antibacterial with MIC values of 8 µg/mL against C. difficile strains ATCC 700057 and 132 (both ribotype 027). This compound displayed increased water solubility and reduced hemolytic activity (32 µg/mL) in an in vitro hemolysis assay and reduced cytotoxicity (CC50 32 µg/mL against HEK293 cells) relative to lead compound 2. Compound 40 exhibited mild efficacy (with 80% survival observed after 24 h compared to the DMSO control of 40%) in an in vivo murine model of C. difficile infection by reducing the severity and slowing the onset of disease.

Abstract
AIMS Endophytes are a rich source for structurally complex chemical scaffolds with interesting biological activities. Endophytes associated with Brugmansia aurea L. (family: Solanaceae), a medicinal plant, have not yet explored for the bioactive metabolites. METHOD AND RESULTS Hence, Macrophomina phaseolina, a fungal endophyte, was isolated from the roots of the plant. Its methanolic extract was found active against human cancer cell lines with IC50 <20 µg ml-1 . Later, a di-peptide compound, serine-glycine-betaine, was isolated and characterized. Serine-glycine-betaine consists of a unit of an N-trimethyl glycine attached to serine. It exhibited potent activity against MIA PaCa-2 and HCT-116 cell lines with IC50 8·9 and 15·16 μmol l-1 , respectively. Furthermore, it induced apoptosis in MIA PaCa-2 cells confirmed by microscopy. The apoptotic cell death in MIA PaCa-2 cells was evidenced biochemically with the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species level and leading to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential due to activation of the intrinsic pathway. This study describes the plausible biosynthesis of serine-glycine-betaine based on genomics (genome sequencing, annotation and genes alignment). CONCLUSIONS A novel di-peptide, serine-glycine-betaine isolated from M. phaseolina induced apoptosis in MIA-Pa-Ca-2 cells. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study confirms that dipeptides like serine-glycine-betaine and tyrosine-betaine might be specific to fungal genera, hence being used for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
Podophyllotoxins and epipodophyllotoxins, possess excellent activity against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant even multidrug-resistant cancer cells via inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Several podophyllotoxin/epipodophyllotoxin derivatives such as etoposide and teniposide have already been applied for cancer therapy, revealing their potential as putative anticancer drugs. Hybridization of podophyllotoxin/epipodophyllotoxin moiety with other anticancer pharmacophores is a promising strategy to develop novel drug candidates so as to overcome drug resistance and improve the specificity, and numerous of podophyllotoxin/epipodophyllotoxin hybrids exhibit excellent in vitro antiproliferative and in vivo anticancer potency. This review emphasizes the recent development of podophyllotoxin/epipodophyllotoxin hybrids with potential application for cancer therapy covering articles published between 2010 and 2020. The mechanisms of action, the critical aspects of design as well as structure-activity relationships were also summarized.

Abstract
Herein we report the regioselective synthesis of podophyllotoxin-Glycosyl triazole hybrids catalysed by Ag(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene (Ag(I)-NHC) in a short reaction time (∼30 min) at ambient conditions. In principle, it is the first report of Click alkyne-azide cycloaddition catalysed by Ag(I)-NHC catalyst and moreover, this new methodology yielded good results when compared with traditional CuAAC in terms of reaction time and selectivity. The synthesised compounds were further explored for in vitro anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines Du145, HeLa, A-549, and MCF-7 and found that these synthesised compounds possess significant anticancer activity. Further, the compounds 5a and 5e were identified as promising leads due to their better activity across all cell lines than that of the standard drug etoposide. Molecular docking studies of 5a & 5e with DNA Topoisomerase-II were revealed that the free energy calculations of active compounds were in good agreement with observed IC50 values.

Abstract
Organic nanoparticles (ONPs) possess great research interests for their promising effects in the enhancement of bioactivity including anticancer activity with less toxicity. The present study describes the preparation, characterization and biological evaluation of aqueous phase ONPs of potent 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivative (BZ6) for anticancer activity. BZ6-ONPs were characterized through UV-absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic analysis for their photo-physical properties. DLS, TEM and SEM studies were carried out for morphological and structural analysis. Cytotoxicity determination on a panel of four different cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MiaPaca-2, HT-29 and HCT-116) revealed that the BZ6-ONPs show highest activity in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Surprisingly, the BZ6-ONPs were found to be non-toxic towards normal breast epithelial fR2 cells. Additionally, the FITC-ONPs showed enhanced uptake in 3D tumor spheroids of MCF-7 cells compared to the free FITC. BZ6-ONPs strongly halted cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, possibly through oxidative stress-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, molecular mechanism-based studies revealed that BZ6-ONPs downregulated AKT/NF-κB/vimentin/survivin-mediated oncogenic signaling pathway promoting cell proliferation and malignancy. In a nutshell, BZ6-ONPs are therapeutically efficacious, which needs further development as a treatment option in human mammary gland carcinomas.

[PMID: 30179143 DOI: 10.2174/1871520618666180903101422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2018] [Revised: 08/06/2018] [Accepted: 08/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide after heart diseases, and lung cancer is the topmost cause of all cancer-related deaths in both sexes. Dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs) are medicinally important class of molecules with diverse pharmacological activities including anticancer activity. The present study focuses on the molecular hybridization of novel Benzopyran with Dihydropyrimidinone and evaluation of the resulting hybrids for cancer cell proliferation, migration and tumor growth. METHODS We have synthesized a focused library of dihydropyrimidinone benzopyran hybrids (compounds 1-11) by joining the aromatic as well as pyran portions of the benzopyran core with dihydropyrimidinone. All the synthesized hybrid molecules were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against a panel of four human cancer cell lines of diverse tissue origin, viz: A549 (lung carcinoma), MCF7 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma), HCT-116 (colorectal carcinoma), and PANC-1 (pancreatic duct carcinoma) with the help of MTT cell viability assay. A structure-activity relationship was made on the basis of IC50 values of different hybrids. Effect on cell proliferation was examined through colony formation assay, reactive oxygen species generation and mitochondrial membrane potential studies. Wound healing assays and cell scattering assays were employed to check the effect on cell migration. Western blotting experiments were performed to find out the molecular mechanism of action and anti-tumor studies were carried out to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of the selected lead molecule. RESULTS Two types of novel hybrids were synthesized efficiently from benzopyran aldehydes, ethylacetoacetate and urea under heteropolyacid catalysis. Compound 3 was found to be the most potent hybrid among the synthesized compounds with consistent cytotoxic activities against four human cancer cell lines (IC50 values: 0.139 - 2.32 μM). Compound 3 strongly inhibited proliferation abilities of A549 cells in colony formation assay. Compound 3 exerted oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, in which mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation as a mechanism of its anti-proliferative effects was analysed. Further, the molecule abrogated migration and cell scattering properties of aggressive PANC-1 cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that compound 3 modulated NF-kB expression and its downstream oncogenic proteins involved in cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Finally, compound 3 confirmed its in vivo anti-tumor efficacy; there observed 41.87% tumor growth inhibition at a dose of 30 mg/kg/body weight against a mouse model of Ehrlich solid tumor. CONCLUSION Our study unravels a potential anticancer lead (compound 3) from DHPMs that have opened up new research avenues for the development of promising anticancer therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Podophyllotoxin and its related aryltetralin cyclolignans belong to a family of important products that exhibit various biological properties (e.g., cytotoxic, insecticidal, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, neurotoxic, immunosuppressive, antirheumatic, antioxidative, antispasmogenic, and hypolipidemic activities). This Review provides a survey of podophyllotoxin and its analogues isolated from plants. In particular, recent developments in the elegant total chemical synthesis, structural modifications, biosynthesis, and biotransformation of podophyllotoxin and its analogues are summarized. Moreover, a deoxypodophyllotoxin-based chemosensor for selective detection of mercury ion is described. In addition to the most active podophyllotoxin derivatives in each series against human cancer cell lines and insect pests listed in the tables, the structure-activity relationships of podophyllotoxin derivatives as cytotoxic and insecticidal agents are also outlined. Future prospects and further developments in this area are covered at the end of the Review. We believe that this Review will provide necessary information for synthetic, medicinal, and pesticidal chemistry researchers who are interested in the chemistry and biology of podophyllotoxins.

Abstract
New derivatives of two isomeric types of azaphenothiazines, 1,8- and 2,7-diazaphenothiazine, containing the triple bond substituents and additionally tertiary cyclic and acyclic amine groups, were synthesized and tested for their anticancer activity. The compounds exhibited differential inhibitory activities. Better results were obtained when the acetylenic group was transformed via the Mannich reaction to the dialkylaminobutynyl groups. The most active was 2,7-diazaphenothiazine with the N-methylpiperazine-2-butynyl substituent against the human ductal breast epithelial tumor cell line T47D, more potent than cisplatin. The 2,7-diazaphenothiazine system turned out to be more active than isomeric 1,8-diaza one. For the most active compound, the expression of TP53, CDKN1A, BCL-2 and BAX genes was detected by the RT-QPCR method. The gene expression ratio BACL-2/BAX suggests the mitochondrial apoptosis in T47D cells. The synthesis makes possible to obtain many new bioactive phenothiazines with the dialkylaminoalkynyl substituents inserting various tertiary cyclic and acyclic amine moieties to the substituents.

Abstract
A series of novel podophyllotoxin derivatives were designed and synthesized. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds were tested against three tumor cell lines (HeLa, K562, and K562/A02). Most of the derivatives (IC50 = 1-20 μM) were found to have stronger cell growth inhibitory activity than positive control etoposide. Among them, 4β-N-[(E)-(5-((4-(4-nitrophenyl)-piperazin-1-yl)methyl)furan-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-amine]-4-desoxy-podophyllotoxin (9l) demonstrated significant inhibitory activity against HeLa, K562, and K562/A02 cell lines with IC50 values of 7.93, 6.42, 6.89 μM, respectively.

A therapeutically relevant, 3,3'-diindolylmethane derivative NGD16 attenuates angiogenesis by targeting glucose regulated protein, 78kDa (GRP78). Chem Biol Interact 2015; 232:58-67. [PMID: 25794856 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2015.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2014] [Revised: 02/28/2015] [Accepted: 03/09/2015] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Angiogenesis remain a critical procedure for tumor progression and malignancy. Anticancer agents targeting angiogenic cascades have been proved to be an effective strategy in the field of cancer therapeutics. The current study aims to explore the mechanistic prevention of angiogenesis and cancer cell proliferation by 1,1'-β-d-glucopyranosyl-3,3'-bis(5-bromoindolyl)-octyl methane (NGD16), a novel N-glycosylated derivative of 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM). NGD16 suppressed the viability of prostate cancer (PC-3), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (MiaPaca-2), colorectal cancer (COLO-205) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) effectively with IC50 values 0.8 μM, 2.8 μM, 5.3 μM and 2.5 μM respectively. Abrogation of angiogenesis by NGD16 was promising in in vivo mouse Matrigel plug assay as well as in ex vivo sprouting of rat thoracic aorta. At the molecular level, NGD16 inhibited the expression of glucose regulated protein, 78 kDa (GRP78), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression, the main mediators of angiogenesis and neovessel formation. Overexpression of GRP78 upregulated the expression of MMP-9 and VEGFR2 in PC-3 and HUVECs. Antibody blocking of GRP78 further potentiated NGD16 in attenuating angiogenesis through inhibition of MMP-9. NGD16 depicted its promising biodistribution profile in a pharmacokinetic study with 46.9% intraperitoneal bioavailability. Our findings suggest NGD16 is a potent inhibitor of neo-angiogenesis with a desirable pharmacokinetic profile, which can be taken forward in its development as an anticancer drug.

Synthetic modification of hydroxychavicol by Mannich reaction and alkyne-azide cycloaddition derivatives depicting cytotoxic potential. Eur J Med Chem 2014; 92:236-45. [PMID: 25559204 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2014.12.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2014] [Revised: 12/24/2014] [Accepted: 12/26/2014] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Here we report the design, synthesis and lead optimization of hydroxychavicol (1) a high yielding metabolite ubiquitously present in the Piper betel leaves with the significant cytotoxic activity. This is the first report to describe the synthetic strategies of two distinct series of hydroxychavicol by Mannich reaction (2-10) and alkyne-azide cycloaddition (11-20). Furthermore, all the synthesized derivatives along with parent compound were evaluated for their in-vitro cytotoxic and antiproliferative potential in several distinct cancers cell lines. Among all, the Mannich reaction derived molecules 6, 8 and 10 displayed more potent cytotoxic activities with IC50 value in a range from 3 to 9 μM, which were 7-10 fold more potent than 1 against five human cancer cell lines viz. HL-60, Mia PaCa-2, MCF-7, HEP G2 and SK-N-SH. Our results describe an efficient synthetic approach used to evaluate the structure activity relationship of 1 and its derivative in search of potential new anticancer agents.
