[PMID: 39100307 PMCID: PMC11292635 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one) (DHEA) is a naturally occurring steroid hormone primarily produced in the zona reticularis of the human adrenal glands. It serves as a crucial precursor for sex hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol, and androstenedione. Recent findings indicate that DHEA serves as the primary source of sex steroids in women during both pre- and postmenopausal stages. Additionally, a decline in DHEA levels with age is linked to various hormone-deficiency symptoms. Despite the wide array of biological activities that make DHEA a valuable polycyclic natural steroid, particularly for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, reports suggest that oral DHEA has limited clinical effect. Thus, A- and D-ring modified DHEA are synthesized and their biological activities are carried out by different research groups and enhanced biological activity reported in the literature. Here, in this review, we have tried to cover all of the synthetic routes and biological studies of modified A- and D-ring DHEA from 2015 to mid-2022.

Abstract
Pyrazine is a six-membered heterocyclic ring containing nitrogen, and many of its derivatives are biologically active compounds. References have been downloaded through Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, and SciFinder Scholar. The structure, biological activity, and mechanism of natural product derivatives containing pyrazine fragments reported from 2000 to September 2023 were reviewed. Publications reporting only the chemistry of pyrazine derivatives are beyond the scope of this review and have not been included. The results of research work show that pyrazine-modified natural product derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antioxidant activities. Many of these derivatives exhibit stronger pharmacodynamic activity and less toxicity than their parent compounds. This review has a certain reference value for the development of heterocyclic compounds, especially pyrazine natural product derivatives.

Abstract
Betulinic acid (BA) and betulin (BE) are naturally pentacyclic triterpenes with documented biological activities, especially antitumor and anti-inflammatory activity. However, their bioavailability in vivo is not satisfactory in terms of medical applications. Thus, to improve the solubility and bioavailability so as to improve the efficacy, 28-O-succinyl betulin (SBE), a succinyl derivative of BE, was synthesized and its solubility, in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activities, the apoptosis pathway as well as the pharmacokinetic properties were investigated. The results showed that SBE exhibited significantly higher solubility in most of the tested solvents, and showed a maximum solubility of 7.19 ± 0.66 g/L in n-butanol. In vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity assays indicated both BA and SBE exhibited good anti-tumor activities, and SBE demonstrated better potential compared to BA. An increase in the ratio of Bad/Bcl-xL and activation of caspase 9 was found in SBE treated Hela cells, suggesting that the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway is involved in SBE induced apoptosis. Compared with BA, SBE showed much-improved absorption and bioavailability in pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
A series of novel D-ring fused or substituted steroidal N-heterocycles were synthesized, and their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The anticancer activity of these compounds against four human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, H1299, HeLa and HepG2) were evaluated and the structure-activity relationship (SAR) was also investigated. Compound 3c displayed significant inhibitory activity on the four cancer cells with IC 50 values ranging from 3.88 to 10.05 µ M. Overall, these studies indicated that construction of N-heterocyclic system with D-ring substituted containing a double bond at C-16 and C-17 or D-ring fused with [17,16-d]azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine could be a promising strategy to improve antitumor activity for steroids deserved further investigation.

Abstract
In the current study, natural (R)-carvone was utilized as a starting material for the efficient synthesis of two series of isoxazoline derivatives bearing the 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety. The new compounds were obtained in good yields and were characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR and HRMS analysis. The newly synthesized monoterpenic isoxazoline 1,3,4-thiadiazole and their thiosemicarbazone intermediate derivatives were evaluated for their anticancer activity in four cancer cell lines (HT-1080, A-549, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231). Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to high anticancer effects. Compound 13c showed the highest anticancer activity with IC50 values ranging from 19.33 ± 1.81 to 34.81 ± 3.03 µM. Further investigation revealed that compounds 12e and 13c could inhibit the cell growth of HT-1080 and MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis through caspase-3/7 activation. The apoptotic effect was accompanied by an S phase and G2/M cell cycle arrest for 13c and 12e, respectively. Compounds 12e and 13c were assessed in silico using molecular docking and molecular dynamics. We found that compound 13c is moderately active against the caspase-3 protein, which triggers apoptosis via intrinsic and extrinsic routes, making compound 13c a promising candidate to activate the proapoptotic protein (caspase-3).

Abstract
We have developed an electrochemical approach for the synthesis of fully substituted 1,2,3-thiadiazoles from α-phenylhydrazones at room temperature, which is very challenging and complementary to the conventional thermal reactions. The key step involves anodic oxidation of phenylhydrazone derivatives at a constant current followed by N,S-heterocyclization. The protocol is remarkable in that it is free of a base and free of an external oxidant and can be converted to a gram scale for postsynthetic drug development with functional thiadiazoles. Most importantly, the electrochemical transformation reflected efficient electro-oxidation with an operationally friendly easy procedure with ample functional molecules. Cyclic voltammograms support the mechanism of this electro-oxidative cyclization process.

Abstract
This review article proposes a comprehensive report of the design strategies engaged in the development of various sulfur-bearing cytotoxic agents. The outcomes of various studies depict that the sulfur heterocyclic framework is a fundamental structure in diverse synthetic analogs representing a myriad scope of therapeutic activities. A number of five-, six- and seven-membered sulfur-containing heterocyclic scaffolds, such as thiazoles, thiadiazoles, thiazolidinediones, thiophenes, thiopyrans, benzothiazoles, benzothiophenes, thienopyrimidines, simple and modified phenothiazines, and thiazepines have been discussed. The subsequent studies of the derivatives unveiled their cytotoxic effects through multiple mechanisms (viz. inhibition of tyrosine kinases, topoisomerase I and II, tubulin, COX, DNA synthesis, and PI3K/Akt and Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathways), and several others. Thus, our concise illustration explains the design strategy and anticancer potential of these five- and six-membered sulfur-containing heterocyclic molecules along with a brief outline on seven-membered sulfur heterocycles. The thorough assessment of antiproliferative activities with the reference drug allows a proficient assessment of the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the diversely synthesized molecules of the series.

Abstract
An operationally simple and sustainable one-pot photo-oxidative formal [3 + 2] heterocyclization of β-ketothioamides with aryldiazonium salts catalyzed by Ru(bpy)3Cl2 has been realized to provide 2,4-disubstituted 5-imino-1,2,3-thiadiazoles in good to high yields under mild reaction conditions for the first time. The reaction proceeded via an α-phenylhydrazone adduct of thioamides leading to 1,2,3-thiadiazoles via N-S bond formation at room temperature. Notably, the products possess Z-stereochemistry with regard to the exocyclic C═N double bond at the 5-position of the ring.

Abstract
In spite of substantial progress made toward understanding cancer pathogenesis, this disease remains one of the leading causes of mortality. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel, more effective anticancer therapeutics. Thiadiazole ring is a versatile scaffold widely studied in medicinal chemistry. Mesoionic character of this ring allows thiadiazole-containing compounds to cross cellular membrane and interact strongly with biological targets. Consequently, these compounds exert a broad spectrum of biological activities. This review presents the current state of knowledge on thiadiazole derivatives that demonstrate in vitro and/or in vivo efficacy across the cancer models with an emphasis on targets of action. The influence of the substituent on the compounds' activity is depicted. Furthermore, the results from clinical trials assessing thiadiazole-containing drugs in cancer patients are summarized.

Abstract
Chagas disease is a parasitic infection affecting millions of people across Latin America, imposing a dramatic socioeconomic burden. Despite the availability of drugs, nifurtimox and benznidazole, lack of efficacy and incidence of side-effects prompt the identification of novel, efficient, and affordable drug candidates. To address this issue, one strategy could be probing the susceptibility of Trypanosoma parasites toward NADP-dependent enzyme inhibitors. Recently, steroids of the androstane group have been described as highly potent but nonselective inhibitors of parasitic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). In order to promote selectivity, we have synthesized and evaluated 26 steroid derivatives of epiandrosterone in enzymatic assays, whereby 17 compounds were shown to display moderate to high selectivity for T. cruzi over the human G6PDH. In addition, three compounds were effective in killing intracellular T. cruzi forms infecting rat cardiomyocytes. Altogether, this study provides new SAR data around G6PDH and further supports this target for treating Chagas disease.

Abstract
An efficient I2/CuCl2-promoted one-pot three-component strategy for the construction of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles from aliphatic- or aromatic-substituted methyl ketones, p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide, and potassium thiocyanate has been developed. Simple and commercially available starting materials, a broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerability make this strategy practical for applications. Furthermore, 1,2,3-thiadiazole synthesis was realized by using potassium thiocyanate as an odorless sulfur source.

Abstract
In the present study, a 10-position modified of camptothecin, 10-propionyloxy camptothecin (PCPT) was esterified from 10-hydroxcamptothecin (HCPT), which could metabolize to HCPT in vivo. PCPT displayed a relatively stronger antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. Thereafter a simple, sensitive and rapid HPLC method coupled with a fluorescence detector was developed and validated for the assay of PCPT and its active metabolite HCPT in rat plasma. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, linearity, selectivity and recovery. The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of PCPT in rats after intravenous administration. The results showed that PCPT could be mainly converted to HCPT in plasma with the AUC0-∞ value of 3.69 ± 4.44 and 311.16 ± 188.81 ng h/mL for PCPT and HCPT, respectively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Four isomeric structures of thiadiazole motifs have outstanding pharmacological inhibitory applications are reported in this review. Thiadiazole nucleus is present in several biologically active natural products and commercial drugs. Most of thiadiazoles reported herein are emphasized to have broad spectrum of medicinal activities. Areas covered: This review represents the recent inhibitory activities of thiadiazole isomeric scaffolds and their broad-spectrum biological applications published as full texts during 2010-2016 as well as the patents published during 2005-2016. The inhibition areas covered included anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant, antitubercular, antiviral, antileishmanial, anticonvulsant, herbicidal and algicidal activities in addition to enzymes, human platelet aggregation and neuroprotective inhibitors. Expert opinion: This survey revealed very interesting data about the applications of thiadiazoles, where some synthetic or natural thiadiazole derivatives were components of drugs available in the market. Many thiadiazole derivatives can be considered as lead compounds for drug synthesis. The most inhibitory active 1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds are those incorporating secondary alkyl(aryl)amido- and/or benzylthio(mercapto) groups at positions 2 and 5. Several thiadiazole derivatives demonstrated higher antibacterial, antitumor and antiviral activities than the standard drugs. Some thiadiazole derivatives exhibited high selective enzymes inhibitory activities based on the electronic properties of the substituents at positions 2 or 5.

Abstract
The present review article offers a detailed account of the design strategies employed for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing anticancer agents. The results of different studies describe the N-heterocyclic ring system is a core structure in many synthetic compounds exhibiting a broad range of biological activities. Benzimidazole, benzothiazole, indole, acridine, oxadiazole, imidazole, isoxazole, pyrazole, triazoles, quinolines and quinazolines including others drugs containing pyridazine, pyridine and pyrimidines are covered. The following studies of these compounds suggested that these compounds showed their antitumor activities through multiple mechanisms including inhibiting protein kinase (CDK, MK-2, PLK1, kinesin-like protein Eg5 and IKK), topoisomerase I and II, microtubule inhibition, and many others. Our concise representation exploits the design and anticancer potency of these compounds. The direct comparison of anticancer activities with the standard enables a systematic analysis of the structure-activity relationship among the series.
