Abstract
Background: The search is ongoing for ideal anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents with promising potency and reasonable selectivity. Methods: New N1-substituted pyrazoles with or without an acetamide linkage were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. COX inhibitory testing, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and antiproliferative activity assessments were performed. Results: All compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity up to 90.40% inhibition. They also exhibited good analgesic activity with up to 100% protection. N1-benzensulfonamides 3d, 6c and 6h were preferentially selective agents toward COX-2. Compound 3d showed good cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and HTC116 cancer cell lines. Molecular modeling studies predicted the binding pattern of the most active compounds. Molecular dynamics confirmed the docking results. All compounds showed remarkable pharmacokinetic properties.

Abstract
A series of N 10 -substituted acridone-2-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their potent anti-cancer agents targeting AKT kinase. In vitro cytotoxicity activity of the target compounds was tested against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Among the tested compounds, four compounds (7f, 8d, 8e, and 8f) exhibited promising anti-cancer activity against both cancer cell lines. Notably, compound 8f demonstrated the highest activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 at IC50 values of 4.72 and 5.53 μM, respectively. In vitro AKT kinase activity revealed that compounds 7f and 8f were the most potent AKT inhibitors with IC50 values of 5.38 and 6.90 μM, respectively. In addition, the quantitative ELISA method of testing confirmed that compound 8f effectively inhibited cell proliferation by suppressing the activation of p-AKT Ser473. Furthermore, molecular docking studies revealed that compound 8f can bind well to the active site of the AKT enzyme. The in silico ADME studies suggested that all synthesized molecules showed good oral bioavailability with a low-toxicity profile and can be used for further optimization as AKT kinase inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
The development of drug resistance and severe side-effects has reduced the clinical efficacy of the existing anti-cancer drugs available in the market. Thus, there is always a constant need to develop newer anti-cancer drugs with minimal adverse effects. Researchers all over the world have been focusing on various alternative strategies to discover novel, potent, and target specific molecules for cancer therapy. In this direction, several heterocyclic compounds are being explored but amongst them one promising heterocycle is acridone which has attracted the attention of medicinal chemists and gained huge biological importance as acridones are found to act on different therapeutically proven molecular targets, overcome ABC transporters mediated drug resistance and DNA intercalation in cancer cells. Some of these acridone derivatives have reached clinical studies as these heterocycles have shown huge potential in cancer therapeutics and imaging. Here, the authors have attempted to compile and make some recommendations of acridone based derivatives concerning their cancer biological targets and in vitro-cytotoxicity based on drug design and novelty to increase their therapeutic potential. This review also provides some important insights on the design, receptor targeting and future directions for the development of acridones as possible clinically effective anti-cancer agents.

Abstract
In continuation of our previous studies to optimise potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, two new series of isatin N-phenylacetamide based sulphonamides were synthesised and screened for their human (h) carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory activities against four isoforms hCA I, hCA II, hCA IX and hCA XII. The indole-2,3-dione derivative 2h showed the most effective inhibition profile against hCAI and hCA II (KI = 45.10, 5.87 nM) compared to acetazolamide (AAZ) as standard inhibitor. Moreover, 2h showed appreciable inhibition activity against the tumour-associated hCA XII, similar to AAZ showing KI of 7.91 and 5.70 nM, respectively. The analogs 3c and 3d showed good cytotoxicity effects, and 3c revealed promising selectivity towards lung cell line A549. Molecular docking was carried out for 2h and 3c to predict their binding conformations and affinities towards the hCA I, II, IX and XII isoforms.

Abstract
Background Sulfonamide derivatives are of great attention due to their wide spectrum of biological activities. Sulfonamides conjugated with acetamide fragments exhibit antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The inhibition dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is considered as one of the most prominent mechanism though which sulfonamide derivatives exhibits antimicrobial and antitumor activities. Results In this study, a new series of 2-(arylamino)acetamides and N-arylacetamides containing sulfonamide moieties were designed, synthesized, characterized and assessed for their antimicrobial activity and screened for cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma (A-549) and human breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. A molecular docking study was performed to identify the mode of action of the synthesized compounds and their good binding interactions were observed with the active sites of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Conclusion Most of the synthesized compounds showed significant activity against A-549 and MCF-7 when compared to 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), which was used as a reference drug. Some of these synthesized compounds are active as antibacterial and antifungal agents.![]() Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (10.1186/s13065-019-0603-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Abstract
The P-glycoprotein is an efflux transporter that expels substances out of the
cells and has an important impact on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties
of drugs. The study of the interactions between ligands and the P-glycoprotein has
implications in the design of Central Nervous System drugs and their transport across the
blood-brain barrier. Moreover, since the P-glycoprotein is overexpressed in some types of
cancers, the protein is responsible for expelling the drug therapies from the cells, and
hence, for drug resistance. In this review, we describe different P-glycoprotein binding
sites reported for substrates, inhibitors and modulators, and focus on molecular docking
studies that provide useful information about drugs and P-glycoprotein interactions.
Docking in crystallized structures and homology models showed potential in the detection
of the binding site and key residues responsible for ligand recognition. Moreover, virtual
screening through molecular docking discriminates P-glycoprotein ligands from decoys.
We also discuss challenges and limitations of molecular docking simulations applied to
this particular protein. Computational structure-based approaches are very helpful in the
study of novel ligands that interact with the P-glycoprotein and provide insights to understand
the P-glycoprotein molecular mechanism of action.

Abstract
'Acridine' along with its functional analogue 'Acridone' is the most privileged pharmacophore in medicinal chemistry with diverse applications ranging from DNA intercalators, endonuclease mimics, ratiometric selective ion sensors, and P-glycoprotein inhibitors in countering the multi-drug resistance, enzyme inhibitors, and reversals of neurodegenerative disorders. Their interaction with DNA and ability of selectively identifying numerous biologically useful ions has cemented exploitability of the acridone nucleus in modern day therapeutics. Additionally, most derivatives and salts of acridine are planar, crystalline, and stable displaying a strong fluorescence which, when coupled with their marked bio selectivity and low cytotoxicity, enables the studying and monitoring of several biochemical, metabolic, and pharmacological processes. In this review, a detailed picture covering the important therapeutic aspects of the acridone nucleus and its functional analogues is discussed.

Abstract
Taking 12-N-p-chlorobenzyl sophoridinol 2 as a lead, a series of novel sophoridinic derivatives with various 3'-substituents at the 11-side chain were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity from sophoridine (1), a natural antitumor medicine. Among them, the sophoridinic ketones 5a-b, alkenes 7a-b and sophoridinic amines 14a-b displayed reasonable antiproliferative activity with IC50 values ranging from 3.8 to 5.4 μmol/L. Especially, compounds 5a and 7b exhibited an equipotency in both adriamycin (AMD)-susceptible and resistant MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells, indicating a different mechanism from AMD. The primary mechanism of action of 5a was to arrest the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase, consistent with that of parent compound 1. Thus, we consider 12-chlorobenzyl sophoridinic derivatives with a tricyclic scaffold to be a new class of promising antitumor agents with an advantage of inhibiting drug-resistant cancer cells.

[PMID: 26590508 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2015.10.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 95] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2015] [Revised: 10/28/2015] [Accepted: 10/29/2015] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
In our endeavor towards the development of effective VEGFR-2 inhibitors, three novel series of phthalazine derivatives based on 1-piperazinyl-4-arylphthalazine scaffold were synthesized. All the newly prepared phthalazines 16a-k, 18a-e and 21a-g were evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2. In particular, compounds 16k and 21d potently inhibited VEGFR-2 at sub-micromolar IC50 values 0.35 ± 0.03 and 0.40 ± 0.04 μM, respectively. Moreover, seventeen selected compounds 16c-e, 16g, 16h, 16j, 16k, 18c-e and 21a-g were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity according to US-NCI protocol, where compounds 16k and 21d proved to be the most potent anticancer agents. While, compound 16k exhibited potent broad spectrum anticancer activity with full panel GI50 (MG-MID) value of 3.62 μM, compound 21d showed high selectivity toward leukemia and prostate cancer subpanels [subpanel GI50 (MG-MID) 3.51 and 5.15 μM, respectively]. Molecular docking of compounds16k and 21d into VEGFR-2 active site was performed to explore their potential binding mode.

Abstract
A series of xanthene derivatives were prepared from cyclohexane-1,3-dione and aromatic aldehydes through Knoevenagel–Michael and cyclisation reactions in methanol:ethanol mixture (1:1), catalysed by a very small amount of l-proline at room temperature. Isomeric tetraketones were synthesised from dimedone and aromatic aldehydes under the same condition. Condensation of them with amines gave acridione derivatives. The crystal structure of an acridione was obtained and determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.
