Biological evaluation of novel side chain containing CQTrICh-analogs as antimalarials and their development as PfCDPK1 kinase inhibitors. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25077. [PMID: 38327451 PMCID: PMC10847618 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The rapid emergence of resistance to existing frontline antimalarial drugs emphasizes a need for the development of target-oriented molecules with novel modes of action. Given the importance of a plant-like Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase 1 (PfCDPK1) as a stand-alone multistage signalling regulator of P. falciparum, we designed and synthesized 7-chloroquinoline-indole-chalcones tethered with a triazole (CQTrICh-analogs 7 (a-s) and 9) directed towards PfCDPK1. This was accomplished by reacting substituted 1-phenyl-3-(1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1H-indol-3-yl) prop-2-en-1-one and 1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde with 4-azido-7-chloroquinoline, respectively via a 'click' reaction. The selected CQTrICh-analogs: 7l and 7r inhibited the growth of chloroquine-sensitive 3D7 strain and -resistant RKL-9 isolate of Plasmodium falciparum, with IC50 values of 2.4 μM & 1.8 μM (7l), and 3.5 μM & 2.7 μM (7r), respectively, and showed no apparent hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity in mammalian cells. Intra-erythrocytic progression studies revealed that the active hybrids: 7l and 7r are effective against the mature stages of the parasite. 7l and 7r were found to stably interact with the catalytically active ATP-binding pocket of PfCDPK1 via energetically favourable H-bonds. The interaction was confirmed in vitro by microscale thermophoresis and kinase assays, which demonstrated that the active hybrids interact with PfCDPK1 and inhibit its kinase activity which is presumably responsible for the parasite growth inhibition. Interestingly, 7l and 7r showed no inhibitory effect on the human kinases, indicating their selectivity for the parasite kinase. We report the antiplasmodial potential of novel kinase-targeting bio-conjugates, a step towards developing pan-kinase inhibitors which is a prerequisite for multistage anti-malarial protection.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Marine-Inspired Compounds Result in Hybrids with Antitrypanosomal and Antileishmanial Activities. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:551.

Abstract
Natural products are a very rich source for obtaining new compounds with therapeutic potential. In the search for new antiparasitic and antimicrobial agents, molecular hybrids were designed based on the structures of antimicrobial marine quinazolinones and eugenol, a natural phenolic compound. Following reports of the therapeutic potential of quinazolinones and eugenol derivatives, it was expected that the union of these pharmacophores could generate biologically relevant substances. The designed compounds were obtained by classical synthetic procedures and were characterized by routine spectrometric techniques. Nine intermediates and final products were then evaluated in vitro against Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania infantum. Antifungal and antibacterial activity were also evaluated. Six compounds (9b, 9c, 9d, 10b, 10c, and 14) showed mild activity against T. brucei with IC50 in the range of 11.17-31.68 μM. Additionally, intermediate 9c showed anti-Leishmania activity (IC50 7.54 μM) and was six times less cytotoxic against THP-1 cells. In conclusion, novel derivatives with a simple quinazolinone scaffold showing selectivity against parasites without antibacterial and antifungal activities were disclosed, paving the way for new antitrypanosomal agents.

Abstract
In this study, we report the chemical synthesis, computational analysis, and anti-virulent studies of five Vanillin-based hybrids employing phytochemicals. Vanillin (V) is known to have substantial anti-quorum sensing activity against the gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Therefore, with the aim to further enhance the potency of Vanillin, it was chemically conjugated via a triazole (T) linker with five phytochemicals- Zingerone (Z), Eugenol (E), Guaiacol (G), Cinnamaldehyde (C), and Ferulic acid (F) to form the hybrids named as VTZ (1), VTE (2), VTG (3), VTC (4), and VTF (5), respectively. Molecular docking studies revealed the strong binding affinity of the designed hybrids with quorum-sensing receptors (LasR, Rh1R, and PqsR). The synthesized hybrids were also evaluated for anti-quorum sensing activities to examine the efficacy against P. aeruginosa bacterial strains PAO1. The hybrids VTE (2), VTG (3), and VTC (4) displayed improved anti-quorum activity relative to Vanillin. Furthermore, the attenuation of virulence factors of P. aeruginosa (Las-A protease, Las-B elastase, pyocyanin pigmentation, and motility) in the presence of VTE (2), VTG (3), and VTC (4) further authenticated the anti-virulent activity of the hybrids. The new design strategy of the phytochemical-phytochemical scaffolds and their biological evaluation provides a proof of concept for the simultaneous perturbation of well-established anti-virulent targets. This appears to be highly promising and effective strategy to ameliorate the enigma of antimicrobial resistance.

[PMID: 36756452 PMCID: PMC9850456 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra07539c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Based on their reported neuroprotective properties, vanilloids provide a good starting point for the synthesis of anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) agents. In this context, nine new 1,2,3-triazole conjugates of vanilloids were synthesized via click chemistry. The compounds were tested for their effect on acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) aggregation. The triazole esters (E)-(1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3 methoxyphenyl)acrylate 9 and (1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl-4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate 8 displayed dual inhibitory activity for AChE and Aβ aggregation with IC50 values of 0.47/0.31 μM and 1.2/0.95 μM, respectively, as compared to donepezil (0.27 μM) and tacrine (0.41 μM), respectively. The results showed that the triazole ester moiety is more favorable for the activity than the triazole ether moiety. This could be attributed to the longer length of the spacer between the two vanillyl moieties in the triazole esters. Furthermore, the binding affinities and modes of the triazole esters 9 and 8 were examined against AChE and Aβ utilizing a combination of docking predictions and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Docking computations revealed promising binding affinity of triazole esters 9 and 8 as potential AChE, Aβ40, and Aβ42 inhibitors with docking scores of -10.4 and -9.4 kcal mol-1, -5.8 and -4.7 kcal mol-1, and -3.3 and -2.9 kcal mol-1, respectively. The stability and binding energies of triazole esters 9 and 8 complexed with AChE, Aβ40, and Aβ42 were measured and compared to donepezil and tacrine over 100 ns MD simulations. According to the estimated binding energies, compounds 9 and 8 displayed good binding affinities with AChE, Aβ42, and Aβ40 with average ΔG binding values of -32.9 and -31.8 kcal mol-1, -12.0 and -10.5 kcal mol-1, and -20.4 and -16.6 kcal mol-1, respectively. Post-MD analyses demonstrated high steadiness for compounds 9 and 8 with AChE and Aβ during the 100 ns MD course. This work suggests the triazole conjugate of vanilloids as a promising skeleton for developing multi-target potential AD therapeutics.

Abstract
Resistance of Candida species is a major problem in the management of Candida infection. This study investigated in vivo antifungal activities of several new imidazole and triazole derivatives in a C. albicans systemic infection. The efficacy of derivatives was determined against systemic infection by C. albicans in mice with cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression, and the antifungal activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in comparison with fluconazole. Compounds 3 and 8 had the highest efficacy with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 0.5–1 μM against the C. albicans pathogen. In vivo activities in immunosuppressed mice were also greater than fluconazole. Furthermore, docking analysis was carried out to know the binding mode of imidazole and triazole derivatives to the CYP51 active site of C. albicans and dihydrofolate reductase as a valid antifungal target. The docking study found that the antifungal results are well correlated with docking results. ADMET and in silico physicochemical parameters were also performed. This study demonstrates that compounds 3 and 8 are potential antifungal candidates against the C. albicans pathogen.

Abstract
A series of novel hydrazone compounds have been synthesized by the condensation of hydrazines and different substituted salicylaldehydes at a molar ratio of 1:1 in one step reaction and characterized by FT-IR, ESI-MS, 1H NMR, and single crystal x-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the compound shows a trans configuration around the C = N bond and triclinic system with P -1/-p 1. Synthesized compounds were screened for cytotoxicity activities against A375 (melanoma), HT-29 (Colon), and A549 (lung) cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 2 exhibited the highest cytotoxic effect against the A375 cell line (IC50 = 0.30 µM) and HT-29 cell line (1.68 µM), compared to those of apatinib as a reference standard drug (0.28, 1.49 µM, respectively). The cytocompatibility assay on the L929 normal cell line and the hemolysis assay on human RBC were used to validate the non-toxic action. From DFT calculation, the various parameters such as HOMO-LUMO energies, Hirshfeld, and MEP have been studied. Furthermore, in silico molecular docking with three receptors was studied. Among four compounds, compound 2 has the lowest binding energy against cyclin dependent kinase (ΔGb = -9.3 kcal/mol). In addition to this, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was also performed. Based on this study, these novel hydrazones can be considered a promising anticancer agent due to their potent cytotoxicity activities and computational analysis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Fungal conditions affect a multitude of people worldwide, leading to increased hospitalization and mortality rates, and the need for novel antifungals is emerging with the rise of resistance and immunocompromised patients. Continuous use of azole drugs, which act by inhibiting the fungal CYP51, involved in the synthesis of ergosterol, essential to the fungal cell membrane, has enhanced the resistance and tolerance of some fungal strains to treatment, thereby limiting the arsenal of available drugs. The goal of this review is to gather literature information on new promising azole developments in clinical trials, with in vitro and in vivo results against fungal strains, and complementary assays, such as toxicity, susceptibility assays, docking studies, among others. Several molecules are reviewed as novel azole structures in clinical trials and with recent/imminent approvals, as well as other innovative molecules with promising antifungal activity. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies are displayed whenever possible. The azole moiety is brought over as a privileged structure, with multiple different compounds emerging with distinct pharmacophores and SAR. Particularly, 1,2,3-triazole natural product conjugates emerged in the last years, presenting promising antifungal activity and a broad spectrum against various fungi.

Abstract
A pharmacophore system has been found as 1,2,3-triazole, a five-membered heterocycle ring with nitrogen heteroatoms. These heterocyclic compounds can be produced using azide-alkyne cycloaddition processes catalyzed by ruthenium or copper. The bioactive compounds demonstrated antitubercular, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and antidiabetic properties. This heterocycle molecule, in particular, with one or more 1,2,3-triazole cores has been found to have the most powerful antifungal effects. The goal of this review is to highlight recent developments in the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigation of this prospective fungicidal chemical. Also there have been explained drugs and mechanism of action of a triazole compound with antifungal activity. This review will be useful in a variety of fields, including medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, mycology, and pharmacology.

Abstract
The search for new antimicrobials is imperative due to the emergent resistance of new microorganism strains. In this context, revisiting known classes like 8-hydroxyquinolines could be an interesting strategy to discover new agents. The 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives nitroxoline and clioquinol are used to treat microbial infections; however, these drugs are underused, being available in few countries or limited to topical use. After years of few advances, in the last two decades, the potent activity of clioquinol and nitroxoline against several targets and the privileged structure of 8-hydroxyquinoline nucleus have prompted an increased interest in the design of novel antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-Alzheimer agents based on this class. Herein, we discuss the current development and antimicrobial structure-activity relationships of this class in the perspective of using the 8-hydroxyquinoline nucleus for the search for novel antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, the most investigated molecular targets concerning 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives are explored in the final section.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has become a significant threat to global public health, thus precipitating an exigent need for new drugs with improved therapeutic efficacy. In this regard, molecular hybridization is deemed as a viable strategy to afford multi-target-based drug candidates. Herein, we report a library of quinoline-1H-1,2,3-triazole molecular hybrids synthesized via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). Antimicrobial evaluation identified compound 16 as the most active hybrid in the library with a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity at an MIC80 value of 75.39 μM against methicillin-resistant S. aureus, E. coli, A. baumannii, and multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae. The compound also showed interesting antifungal profile against C. albicans and C. neoformans at an MIC80 value of 37.69 and 2.36 μM, respectively, superior to fluconazole. In vitro toxicity profiling revealed non-hemolytic activity against human red blood cells (hRBC) but partial cytotoxicity to human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). Additionally, in silico studies predicted excellent drug-like properties and the importance of triazole ring in stabilizing the complexation with target proteins. Overall, these results present compound 16 as a promising scaffold on which other molecules can be modeled to deliver new antimicrobial agents with improved potency.

Mater Today Bio 2021; 12:100126.

Abstract
Inspired by nature’s photoprotection mechanisms, we report an effective UV-blocking nanomaterial based on diethyl sinapate-grafted cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-DES). The colloidal stability and UV-blocking performance of CNC-DES in aqueous glycerol (a common humectant in petroleum-free cosmetic formulations) and in a commercially available moisturizing cream were studied. Grafting the water-insoluble DES onto CNCs renders it dispersible in these water-based formulations, thanks to the excellent water-dispersibility of CNC nanoparticles. Glycerol dispersions containing 0.1 to 1.5 wt% CNC-DES display very high UV-blocking activity owing to the anti-UV DES moieties anchored onto CNCs. A facial cream blended with 1.5 wt% CNC-DES exhibits an SPF of 5.03, which is higher than a commercially available sunscreen with the same active ingredient concentration (SPF = 3.84). DPPH radical scavenging assay also showed the antioxidant potential of CNC-DES, albeit coinciding with a significant reduction in antioxidant activity after grafting DES onto CNCs. Cytotoxicity measurements revealed the CNC-DES not to cause significant cytotoxicity to murine fibroblast cells after 24 h of exposure. Overall, CNC-DES exhibits strong anti-UV and antioxidant properties and is water-dispersible, biocompatible, non-greasy, and lightweight. This study demonstrates the exceptional potential of DES-grafted CNCs as nature-inspired UV filters in the next generation of cosmetic formulations, including those for sensitive skins.

Abstract
1,2,3-Triazole, a five-membered heterocyclic nucleus, is widely recognized as a key chromophore of great value in medicinal chemistry for delivering compounds possessing innumerable biological activities, including antimicrobial, antitubercular, antidiabetic, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory activities. Mainly, in the past years, diverse conjugates carrying this biologically valuable core have been reported due to their attractive fungicidal potential and potent effects on various infective targets. Hence, hybridization of 1,2,3-triazole with other antimicrobial pharmacophores appears to be a judicious strategy to develop new effective anti-fungal candidates to combat the emergence of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant infectious diseases. Thus, the current review highlights the recent advances of this promising category of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids incorporating diverse varieties of bioactive heterocycles such as conozole, coumarin, imidazole, benzimidazole, pyrazole, indole, oxindole, chromene, pyrane, quinazoline, chalcone, isoflavone, carbohydrates, and amides. It underlies their inhibition behavior against a wide array of infectious fungal species during 2015-2020.

Abstract
This study describes the synthesis and antioxidant activity of new 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. These compounds were generated semi-synthetically using the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction between ethyl 2-azidoacetate and terminal acetylenes derived from the natural products carvacrol, eugenol, isovanillin, thymol and vanillin. The products were obtained at 50 to 80% yield and characterised through several spectrographic techniques. Antioxidant activity was assayed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS). The products exhibited moderate antioxidant activity, with ethyl 2-(4-((4-formyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl) acetate showing the highest antioxidant capacity (EC50 = 75.5 µg/mL) among the generated 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. In conclusion, the generation of these compounds opens new possibilities for the development of new antioxidant agents.

Abstract
Sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase enzyme has been reported to alter diverse biological functions in the cells and onset of diseases, including cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases, which implicate the regulation of Sirt2 function as a potential drug target. Available Sirt2 inhibitors or modulators exhibit insufficient specificity and potency, and even partially contradictory Sirt2 effects were described for the available inhibitors. Herein, we applied computational screening and evaluation of FDA-approved drugs for highly selective modulation of Sirt2 activity via a unique inhibitory mechanism as reported earlier for SirReal2 inhibitor. Application of stringent molecular docking results in the identification of 48 FDA-approved drugs as selective putative inhibitors of Sirt2, but only top 10 drugs with docking scores > - 11 kcal/mol were considered in reference to SirReal2 inhibitor for computational analysis. The molecular dynamics simulations and post-simulation analysis of Sirt2-drug complexes revealed substantial stability for Fluphenazine and Nintedanib with Sirt2. Additionally, developed 3D-QSAR-models also support the inhibitory potential of drugs, which exclusively revealed highest activities for Nintedanib (pIC50 ≥ 5.90 µM). Conclusively, screened FDA-approved drugs were advocated as promising agents for Sirt2 inhibition and required in vitro investigation for Sirt2 targeted drug development.

Abstract
A series of 1,2,3-triazole-containing Sorafenib analogues, in which the aryl urea moiety of Sorafenib (1) was replaced with a 1,2,3-triazole ring linking a substituted phenoxy fragment, were prepared successfully via Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The studies of cytotoxicity towards human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines, HepG2 and Huh7, indicated that p-tert-butylphenoxy analogue 2m showed significant inhibitory activity against Huh7 with IC50 = 5.67 ± 0.57 µM. More importantly, 2m showed low cytotoxicity against human embryonal lung fibroblast cell line, MRC-5, with IC50 > 100 µM, suggesting its highly selective cytotoxic activity (SI > 17.6) towards Huh7 which is much superior to that of Sorafenib (SI = 6.73). The molecular docking studies revealed that the analogue 2m bound B-RAF near the binding position of Sorafenib, while it interacted VEGFR2 efficiently at the same binding position of Sorafenib. However, 2m exhibited moderate inhibitory activity toward B-RAF, implying that its anti-Huh7 effect might not strictly relate to inhibition of B-RAF. Wound healing and BrdU cell proliferation assays confirmed anti-cell migration and anti-cell proliferative activities towards Huh7. With its inhibitory efficiency and high safety profile, 2m has been identified as a promising candidate for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
New nature-inspired and plant-derived p-hydroxycinnamate esters and p-hydroxycinnamate diesters provide excellent protection against UV radiation when incorporated into a matrix. Herein, an efficient and sustainable pathway is reported to graft these phenolic compounds onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) via click-type copper-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The successful grafting of the phenolic esters on CNC surface was evidenced by a range of chemical analyses, and the degrees of substitution (DS) of the CNC were found to depend on the structure of the phenolic ester grafted. Moreover, aqueous suspensions of the phenolic ester-grafted CNCs not only strongly absorb in both the UVA and UVB regions, but they also exhibit average to very high photostability. Their wide spectrum UV-absorbing properties and their stability upon exposure to UV are highly influenced by the structure of the phenolic ester, particularly by the extra ester group in p-hydroxycinnamate diesters. These findings demonstrate that cellulose nanocrystals decorated with such plant-derived and nature-inspired phenolic esters are promising sustainable nanomaterials for anti-UV applications.

Abstract
Defeat of the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria is one great challenge today and for the future. In the last century many classes of effective antibacterials have been developed, so that upcoming resistances could be met with novel drugs of various compound classes. Meanwhile, there is a certain lack of research of the pharmaceutical companies, and thus there are missing developments of novel antibiotics. Gram-positive bacteria are the most important cause of clinical infections. The number of novel antibacterials in clinical trials is strongly restricted. There is an urgent need to find novel antibacterials. We used synthetic chemistry to build completely novel hybrid molecules of substituted indoles and benzothiophene. In a simple one-pot reaction, two novel types of thienocarbazoles were yielded. Both indole substituted compound classes have been evaluated as completely novel antibacterials against the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus species. The evaluated partly promising activities depend on the indole substituent type. First lead compounds have been evaluated within in vivo studies. They confirmed the in vitro results for the new classes of small-molecule antibacterials.

Abstract
This study aims to synthesize novel fused spiro-4H-pyran derivatives under green conditions to develop agents having antimicrobial activity. The synthesized compounds were initially screened for in vitro antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacterial strains, and all the compounds exhibited moderate to potent antibacterial activity. However, compound 4l showed significant inhibition toward all the bacterial strains, particularly against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 125 μg/mL for each. The toxicity studies of selected compounds (4c, 4e, 4l, and 4m) using human red blood cells as well as human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells showed nontoxic behavior at desired concentration. Growth kinetic and time-kill curve studies of 4l against S. pneumoniae and E. coli supported its bactericidal nature. Interestingly, compound 4l showed a synergistic effect when used in combination with ciprofloxacin against selected strains. Biofilm formation in the presence of a lead compound, as assessed by XTT assay, showed complete disruption of the bacterial biofilm visualized by scanning electron microscopy. Overall, the findings suggest 4l to be considered as a promising lead for further development as an antibacterial agent.

Abstract
Development of new chemotherapeutic agents to treat microbial infections and recurrent cancers is of pivotal importance. Metal based drugs particularly ruthenium complexes have the uniqueness and desired properties that make them suitable candidates for the search of potential chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, two mixed ligand Ru(III) complexes [Ru(Cl)2(SB)(Phen] (RC-1) and [Ru(Cl)2(SB)(Bipy)] (RC-2) were synthesised and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques and their molecular structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Antibacterial activity evaluation against two Gram-positive (S. pneumonia and E. faecalis) and four Gram-negative strains (P. aurogenosa, K. pneumoniae, S. enterica, and E. coli) revealed their moderate antibacterial activity with MIC value of ≥250 μg/mL. Anticancer activity evaluation against a non-small lung cancer cell line (H1299) revealed the tremendous anticancer activity of these complexes which was further validated by DNA binding and docking results. DNA binding profile of the complexes studied by UV-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy showed an intercalative binding mode with CT-DNA and an intrinsic binding constant in the range of 3.481-1.015× 105 M-1. Both the complexes were also found to exert weak toxicity to human erythrocytes by haemolytic assay compared to cisplatin. Potential of these complexes as anticancer agents will be further delineated by in vivo studies.

Abstract
Hybrid molecule approach of drug design has become popular due to advantages such as delayed resistance, reduced toxicity, ease of treatment of co-infection and lower cost of preclinical evaluation. Antifungal drugs currently available for the treatment of fungal diseases suffer a major side effect of drug resistance. Hybrid drugs development is one of the approaches that has been employed to control microbial resistance. Their antifungal activity is influenced by their design. This review is focused on hybrid molecules exhibiting antifungal properties to guide scientists in search of more efficient drugs for the treatment of fungal diseases.

Abstract
Infective diseases have become health threat of a global proportion due to appearance and spread of microorganisms resistant to majority of therapeutics currently used for their treatment. Therefore, there is a constant need for development of new antimicrobial agents, as well as novel therapeutic strategies. Quinolines and quinolones, isolated from plants, animals, and microorganisms, have demonstrated numerous biological activities such as antimicrobial, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, and antitumor. For more than two centuries quinoline/quinolone moiety has been used as a scaffold for drug development and even today it represents an inexhaustible inspiration for design and development of novel semi-synthetic or synthetic agents exhibiting broad spectrum of bioactivities. The structural diversity of synthetized compounds provides high and selective activity attained through different mechanisms of action, as well as low toxicity on human cells. This review describes quinoline and quinolone derivatives with antibacterial, antifungal, anti-virulent, antiviral, and anti-parasitic activities with the focus on the last 10 years literature.

Abstract
In this work, design, synthesis, and screening of thiophene carboxamides 4-13 and 16-23 as dual vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) and mitotic inhibitors was reported. All compounds were screened against two gastrointestinal solid cancer cells, HepG-2 and HCT-116 cell lines. The most active cytotoxic derivatives 5 and 21 displayed 2.3- and 1.7-fold higher cytotoxicity than Sorafenib against HepG-2 cells. Cell cycle and apoptosis analyses for compounds 5 and 21 showed cells accumulation in the sub-G1 phase, and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. The apoptotic inducing activities of compounds 5 and 21were correlated to the elevation of p53, increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and increase in caspase-3/7.Compounds 5 and 21 showed potent inhibition againstVEGFR-2 (IC50 = 0.59 and 1.29 μM) and β-tubulin polymerization (73% and 86% inhibition at their IC50 values).Molecular docking was performed with VEGFR-2 and tubulin binding sites to explain the displayed inhibitory activities.

Abstract
Background:
2,4-disubstituted-1,3-thiazole derivatives (2a–j), (3a–f) and (4a–f) were
synthesized, characterized and screened for their potential as antimicrobial agents. In the preliminary
screening against a panel of bacterial strains, nine compounds showed moderate to potent antibacterial
activity (IC50 = 13.7-90.8 μg/ml).
</P><P>
Methods: In the antifungal screening, compound (4c) displayed potent antifungal activity
(IC50 = 26.5 µg/ml) against Candida tropicalis comparable to the standard drug, fluconazole
(IC50 = 10.5 µg/ml). Based on in vitro antimicrobial results, compounds 2f, 4c and 4e were selected
for further pharmacological investigations. Hemolytic activity using human red blood cells
(hRBCs) and cytotoxicity by MTT assay on human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells revealed
non-toxic nature of the selected compounds (2f, 4c and 4e). To ascertain their possible mode
of action, docking studies with the lead inhibitors (2f, 4c and 4e) were performed using crystal
structure coordinates of bacterial methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs), an enzyme involved in
bacterial protein synthesis and maturation.
Results:
The results of in vitro and in silico studies provide a rationale for selected compounds (2f,
4c and 4e) to be carried forward for further structural modifications and structure-activity relationship
(SAR) studies against these bacterial infections.
Conclusion:
The study suggested binding with one or more key amino acid residues in the active
site of Streptococcus pneumoniae MetAP (SpMetAP) and Escherichia coli MetAP (EcMetAP). In
silico physicochemical properties using QikProp confirmed their drug likeliness.

Abstract
A series of diketo esters and their pertinent bioisosteres were designed and synthesized as potent antibacterial agents by targeting methionine amino peptidases (MetAPs). In the biochemical assay against purified MetAPs from Streptococcus pneumoniae (SpMetAP1a), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtMetAP1c), Enterococcus faecalis (EfMetAP1a) and human (HsMetAP1b), compounds 3a, 4a and 5a showed more than 85% inhibition of all the tested MetAPs at 100 μM concentration. Compounds 4a and 5a also exhibited antibacterial potential with MIC values 62.5 μg/mL (S. pneumoniae), 31.25 μg/mL (E. faecalis), 62.5 μg/mL (Escherichia coli) and 62.5 μg/mL (S. pneumoniae), 62.5 μg/mL (E. coli), respectively. Moreover, 5a also significantly inhibited the growth of multidrug resistant E. coli strains at 512 μg/mL conc., while showing no cytotoxic effect towards healthy CHO cells and thus being selected. Growth kinetics study showed significant inhibition of bacterial growth when treated with different conc. of 5a. TEM analysis also displayed vital damage to bacterial cells by 5a at MIC conc. Moreover, significant inhibition of biofilm formation was observed in bacterial cells treated with MIC conc. of 5a as visualized by SEM micrographs. Interestingly, 5a did not cause an alteration in the hemocyte density in Galleria mellonella larvae which is considered in vivo model for antimicrobial studies and was non-toxic up to a conc. of 2.5 mg/mL.

Natural Product-Based 1,2,3-Triazole/Sulfonate Analogues as Potential Chemotherapeutic Agents for Bacterial Infections. ACS OMEGA 2018; 3:6912-6930.

Abstract
Despite the vast availability of antibiotics, bacterial infections remain a leading cause of death worldwide. In an effort to enhance the armamentarium against resistant bacterial strains, 1,2,3-triazole (5a-x) and sulfonate (7a-j) analogues of natural bioactive precursors were designed and synthesized. Preliminary screening against two Gram-positive (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis) and four Gram-negative bacterial strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli) was performed to assess the potency of these analogues as antibacterial agents. Among all triazole analogues, 5e (derived from carvacrol) and 5u (derived from 2-hydroxy 1,4-naphthoquinone) bearing carboxylic acid functionality emerged as potent antibacterial agents against S. pneumoniae (IC50: 62.53 and 39.33 μg/mL), E. faecalis (IC50: 36.66 and 61.09 μg/mL), and E. coli (IC50: 15.28 and 22.57 μg/mL). Furthermore, 5e and 5u also demonstrated moderate efficacy against multidrug-resistant E. coli strains and were therefore selected for further biological studies. Compound 5e in combination with ciprofloxacin displayed a synergistic effect on multidrug-resistant E. coli MRA11 and MRC17 strains, whereas compound 5u was selective against E. coli MRA11 strain. Growth kinetic studies on S. pneumoniae and E. coli treated with 5e and 5u showed an extended lag phase. 5e and 5u did not show significant cytotoxicity up to 100 μg/mL concentration on human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis of bacterial cells (S. pneumoniae and E. coli) exposed to 5e and 5u clearly showed morphological changes and damaged cell walls. Moreover, these compounds also significantly inhibited biofilm formation in S. pneumoniae and E. coli strains, which was visualized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. Treatment of larvae of Galleria mellonella (an in vivo model for antimicrobial studies) with 5e and 5u did not cause an alteration in the hemocyte density, thereby indicating lack of an immune response, and were nontoxic up to a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL.

Abstract
The present study describes the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole–quinazolinone conjugates (5a–q) from ethyl 4-oxo-3-(prop-2-ynyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylate and phenyl azide/substituted phenyl azides employing Cu(i) catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The corresponding acids (6a–q) were obtained by hydrolysis of esters (5a–q) to study the effect of these functionalities on the biological activity. All synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro anticandidal evaluation against Candia albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis strains. The results indicated that compound 5n showed potent anticandidal activity with IC50 in the range of 8.4 to 14.6 μg mL−1. Hemolytic activity using human red blood cells (hRBCs) and cytotoxicity by MTT assay on human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells revealed the non-toxic nature of the selected compounds. Growth kinetic study with compound 5n showed its fungicidal nature as no significant growth of Candida cells was observed even after 24 h. Cellular ergosterol content was determined in the presence of different concentrations of 5n to measure the activity of lanosterol 14α-demethylase indirectly. The results showed significant disruption of the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway through inhibition of lanosterol 14α-demethylase activity supported by docking studies (PDB: 5v5z). Overall, this study demonstrates the anticandidal potential of 5n which can serve as the lead for further structural optimization and SAR studies. The present study elicits the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole–quinazolinone conjugates (5a–q) as ergosterol inhibitors for Candida infections.![]()

Abstract
Candida albicans, along with some other non-albicans Candida species, is a group of yeast, which causes serious infections in humans that can be both systemic and superficial. Despite the fact that extensive efforts have been put into the discovery of novel antifungal agents, the frequency of these fungal infections has increased drastically worldwide. In our quest for the discovery of novel antifungal compounds, we had previously synthesized and screened quinoline containing 1,2,3-triazole (3a) as a potent Candida spp inhibitor. In the present study, two structural analogues of 3a (3b and 3c) have been synthesized to determine the role of quinoline and their anti-Candida activities have been evaluated. Preliminary results helped us to determine 3a and 3b as lead inhibitors. The IC50 values of compound 3a for C. albicans ATCC 90028 (standard) and C. albicans (fluconazole resistant) strains were 0.044 and 2.3 μg/ml, respectively while compound 3b gave 25.4 and 32.8 μg/ml values for the same strains. Disk diffusion, growth and time kill curve assays showed significant inhibition of C. albicans in the presence of compounds 3a and 3b. Moreover, 3a showed fungicidal nature while 3b was fungistatic. Both the test compounds significantly lower the secretion of proteinases and phospholipases. While, 3a inhibited proteinase secretion in C. albicans (resistant strain) by 45%, 3b reduced phospholipase secretion by 68% in C. albicans ATCC90028 at their respective MIC values. Proton extrusion and intracellular pH measurement studies suggested that both compounds potentially inhibit the activity of H+ ATPase, a membrane protein that is crucial for various cell functions. Similarly, 95–97% reduction in ergosterol content was measured in the presence of the test compounds at MIC and MIC/2. The study led to identification of two quinoline based potent inhibitors of C. albicans for further structural optimization and pharmacological investigation.

Abstract
According to WHO, leishmaniasis is a major tropical disease, ranking second after malaria. Significant efforts have been therefore invested into finding potent inhibitors for the treatment. In this work, eighteen novel 1,2,3-triazoles appended with l-amino acid (Phe/Pro/Trp) tail were synthesized via azide-alkyne click chemistry with moderate to good yield, and evaluated for their anti-leishmanial activity against promastigote form of Leishmania donovani (Dd8 strain). Among all, compounds 40, 43, and 53 were identified with promising anti-leishmanial activity with IC50=88.83±2.93, 96.88±12.88 and 94.45±6.51μM respectively and displayed no cytotoxicity towards macrophage cells. Moreover, compound 43 showed highest selectivity index (SI=8.05) among all the tested compounds. Supported by docking studies, the lead inhibitors (40, 43 and 53) showed interactions with key residues in the catalytic site of trypanothione reductase. The results of pharmacokinetic parameters suggest that these selected inhibitors can be carried forward for further structural optimization and pharmacological investigation.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of human candidiasis and the tendency of Candida species to become resistant to existing chemotherapies are well-recognized health problems. The present study demonstrates the successful synthesis of novel triazole-amino acid hybrids with potent in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against Candida species. Particularly, compounds 68 and 70 showed potent in vitro activity against fluconazole (FLC) resistant as well as sensitive clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Time kill curve analysis of lead inhibitors 68 and 70 showed their fungistatic nature. Secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, mainly proteinases and phospholipases, decreased considerably in the presence of 68 and 70 indicating their interference in fungal virulence. TEM analysis of Candida cells exposed to compounds 68 and 70 clearly showed morphological changes and intracellular damage as their possible mode of action. A preliminary mechanistic study carried out on the two most effective inhibitors (68 and 70) revealed the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis thereby causing the cells to lose their integrity and viability. The selected compounds did not show significant cytotoxicity up to a concentration of 200 μg mL-1 in the HEK293 cell line. An in silico analysis of 68 and 70 binding to a modeled C. albicans CYP51 showed critical H-bonding as well as hydrophobic interactions with the important active site residues indicating the basis of their anti-Candida role. Studies on the larvae of Galleria mellonella showed that the selected inhibitors (68 and 70) were non-toxic, did not provoke an immune response and significantly reduced Candida proliferation in vivo.

Abstract
Seven miconazole analogs involving 1,4,5-tri and 1,5-disubstituted triazole moieties were synthesized by azide-enolate 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The antifungal activity of these compounds was evaluated in vitro against four filamentous fungi, including Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichosporon cutaneum, Rhizopus oryzae, and Mucor hiemalis as well as three species of Candida spp. as yeast specimens. These pre-clinical studies suggest that compounds 4b, 4d and 7b can be considered as drug candidates for future complementary biological studies due to their good/excellent antifungal activities.
