Eur J Med Chem 2023; 260:115773. [PMID: 37669594 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023]
Abstract
The increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance has forced the development of unique antimicrobials with novel multitargeting mechanisms to combat infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens. Structurally unique indolylcyanoethylenyl sulfonylanilines (ISs) were exploited as novel promising antibacterial agents to confront stubborn drug resistance. Some prepared ISs possessed favorable bacteriostatic action towards the tested bacteria. Especially, hydroxyethyl IS 14a exerted 8-fold more potent inhibitory efficacy against multidrug-resistant A. baumannii and E. coli 25922 with the low MIC of 0.5 μg/mL than norfloxacin, and showed low cell toxicity and rapid bactericidal property. Moreover, this compound also possessed obvious effect of eradicating bacterial biofilm, which could effectually relieve the development of drug resistance. A preliminary assessment of the antibacterial mechanism indicated that compound 14a could disintegrate membrane integrity leading to the leakage of intracellular protein, inactivation of lactate dehydrogenase and metabolism inhibition. Hydroxyethyl IS 14a mediated the accumulation of excess reactive oxygen species, which further contributed to reducing glutathione, resulting in oxidative damage to bacteria. Furthermore, IS 14a could intercalate into DNA to hinder the biological function of DNA. Quantum chemical study disclosed that IS 14a with the lowest energy gap was conducive to displaying high bioactivity. These findings demonstrated that hydroxyethyl IS 14a as a prospective antimicrobial candidate for combating A. baumannii and E. coli 25922 would be a promising starting point.

Abstract
In recent years, the overuse of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of antibiotic resistance, which is a serious global health problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common and virulent bacterium in clinical practice. Numerous researchers have focused on developing new candidate drugs that are effective, less toxic, and can overcome MRSA resistance. Thiazole derivatives have been found to exhibit antibacterial activity against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant pathogens. By hybridizing thiazole with other antibacterial pharmacophores, it is possible to obtain more effective antibacterial candidate drugs. Thiazole derivatives have shown potential in developing new drugs that can overcome drug resistance, reduce toxicity, and improve pharmacokinetic characteristics. This article reviews the recent progress of thiazole compounds as potential antibacterial compounds and examines the structure-activity relationship (SAR) in various directions. It covers articles published from 2018 to 2023, providing a comprehensive platform to plan and develop new thiazole-based small MRSA growth inhibitors with minimal side effects.

Abstract
Fungal infections are posing serious threat to healthcare system due to emerging resistance among available antifungal agents. Among available antifungal agents in clinical practice, azoles (diazole, 1,2,4-triazole and tetrazole) remained most effective and widely prescribed antifungal agents. Now their associated side effects and emerging resistance pattern raised a need of new and potent antifungal agents. Lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) is responsible for the oxidative removal of 14α-methyl group of sterol precursors lanosterol and 24(28)-methylene-24,25-dihydrolanosterol in ergosterol biosynthesis hence an essential component of fungal life cycle and prominent target for antifungal drug development. This review will shed light on various azole- as well as non-azoles-based derivatives as potential antifungal agents that target fungal CYP51. Review will provide deep insight about structure activity relationship, pharmacological outcomes, and interactions of derivatives with CYP51 at molecular level. It will help medicinal chemists working on antifungal development in designing more rational, potent, and safer antifungal agents by targeting fungal CYP51 for tackling emerging antifungal drug resistance.

Abstract
New antibacterial 3-(aminothiazolyl)quinolones (ATQs) were designed and efficiently synthesized to counteract the growing multidrug resistance in animal husbandry. Bioactive assays manifested that N,N-dicyclohexylaminocarbonyl ATQ 10e and methyl ATQ 17a, respectively, showed better antibacterial behavior against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa than reference drug norfloxacin. Notably, highly active ATQ 17a with low hemolysis, negligible mammalian cytotoxicity, and good pharmacokinetic properties displayed low trends to induce resistance and synergistic combinations with norfloxacin. Preliminary mechanism exploration implied that representative ATQ 17a could inhibit the formation of biofilms and destroy bacterial membrane integrity, further binding to intracellular DNA and DNA gyrase to hinder bacterial DNA replication. ATQ 17a could also induce the production of excess reactive oxygen species and reduce bacterial metabolism to accelerate bacterial death. These results provided a promise for 3-(aminothiazolyl)quinolones as new potential multitargeting antibacterial agents to treat bacterial infection of animals.

Abstract
Erlotinib is a highly specific and reversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the targeted therapy of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) However, the efficacy of erlotinib is limited because the development of drug resistance during chemotherapy. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) is a rate-limiting tryptophan catabolic enzyme that is activated in many human cancers. In this study, we designed a series of erlotinib-based 1,2,3-triazole compounds by combining erlotinib with phenyl or benzyl azide. Attentive FP prediction model was used to predict the bioactivity of those compounds. We discovered that most of the erlotinib-based 1,2,3-triazole compounds are capable of suppressing IDO1 activities in vitro experiments. Among them, compound 14b (IC50 = 0.59 ± 0.05 μM) had the strongest inhibitory effect on IDO1. In addition, compound 14b significantly inhibited tumor growth comparable to the antitumor activity of erlotinib and the IDO1 inhibitor epacadostat in murine tumor models.

Abstract
The dramatic rise in drug resistance accelerated the desire for new antibacterial agents to safeguard human health. This work constructed a novel type of aloe emodin-hybridized sulfonamide aminophosphates as unique potential antibacterial agents. The biological assay revealed that some target hybrids possessed potent inhibitory activity. Particularly, ethyl aminophosphate-hybridized sulfadiazine aloe emodin 7a (EASA-7a) not only displayed preponderant antibacterial efficiency against drug-resistant E. faecalis at low concentration as 0.25 μg/mL but also possessed strong bacteriostatic capacity and low propensity to develop resistance toward E. faecalis. The weak hemolysis toward human red blood cells and efficient biofilm-disruptive ability further implied the therapeutic potential of EASA-7a. Preliminary studies disclosed that the excellent antibacterial behavior of EASA-7a might be attributed to its capacity to permeate and depolarize the bacterial membrane, as well as promote ROS accumulation and intercalate with DNA. These findings manifested that EASA-7a was worthy of further development to combat life-threatening bacterial infections.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most important cause of cancer-related death and presents a major public health problem in many countries. To search for more novel antitumor agents against cervical cancer, 14 erlotinib-linked 1,2,3-triazole compounds were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anti-tumor activity. The compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectra (HR MS). Antitumor activity assay results indicated that six of those compounds have remarkable inhibitory activity against human cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro, among which compound 4m was the most potent with IC50 of 3.79 μM, and compounds 4k, 4i, 4l, 4d, and 4n also demonstrated remarkable antitumor activity with IC50 of 3.79, 4.16, 4.36, 7.02, and 8.21 μM. We found three of the most potent compounds 4d, 4k, and 4l induced potent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HeLa cells, and compounds 4d and 4l significantly restrained the cell colony formation and showed moderate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitory activity with IC50 of 13.01 and 1.76 μM. Therefore, these experiments indicate that these erlotinib-linked 1,2,3-triazole compounds are potential to act as effective anticancer agents against cervical cancer.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are emerging at the vanguard of therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR-activating mutations. However, the increasing therapeutic resistance caused by novel mutations or activated bypass pathways has impaired their performance. In this study, we link one of the commercial EGFR-TKIs, Erlotinib, to different azide compounds to synthesize a novel class of 1,2,3-triazole ring-containing Erlotinib derivatives. We discovered that several new compounds show robust antiproliferation activity against diverse NSCLC cells in vitro including PC-9, H460, H1975 and A549. Two of the most potent compounds, e4 and e12 have been found to be more efficient than Erlotinib in all NSCLC cell lines except PC-9. They significantly induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in PC-9 and H460 cells. The antitumor efficacy of compound e4 in vivo is close to that of Erlotinib in a PC-9 xenograft mouse model. Most Erlotinib-1,2,3-triazole compounds exhibit moderate to good inhibitory activities toward wild-type EGFR as indicated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the EGFR phosphorylation was inhibited in H460 and PC-9 cells exposed to e4 or e12. These data suggest that these Erlotinib-1,2,3-triazole compounds are suitable candidates for use against NSCLC and more unknown mechanisms merit further investigation.

Abstract
A novel type of sulfonyl-hybridized imidazolyl ethanols as potential DNA-targeting antibacterial agents was constructed via the unique ring-opened reaction of oxiranes by imidazoles for the first time. Some developed target hybrids showed potential antimicrobial potency against the tested microbes. Especially, imidazole derivative 5f could strongly suppressed the growth of MRSA (MIC = 4 μg/mL), which was 2-fold and 16-fold more potent than the positive control sulfathiazole and norfloxacin. This compound exhibited quite low propensity to induce bacterial resistance. Antibacterial mechanism exploration indicated that compound 5f could embed in MRSA DNA to form steady 5f-DNA complex, which possibly hinder DNA replication to exert antimicrobial behavior. Molecular docking showed that molecule 5f could bind with dihydrofolate synthetase through hydrogen bonds. These results implied that imidazole derivative 5f could be served as a promising molecule for the exploration of novel antibacterial candidates.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 255:119673. [PMID: 33751958 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2021.119673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Peptide drugs, which are mainly used for the treatment of AIDS, myeloma, and breast cancer, have evolved rapidly owing to their high efficacy and low side effects. The interaction mechanisms of two peptide drugs with two biological macromolecules (protein and DNA), which are of great significance in disease prevention and drug design, were investigated using molecular docking, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. The interaction between a series of common drugs and ovalbumin (OVA) was simulated by molecular docking, and two peptide drugs with the highest energy values, namely atazanavir and carfilzomib, were selected; the binding energy values of these drugs with OVA were -59.20 and -55.93 kcal/mol, respectively. The Kb values of the interaction of the two drugs with OVA/DNA were in the range of 104-107 M-1, and the binding affinity of the drugs was stronger with OVA than with DNA. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces were very important for the binding between drugs and OVA through molecular docking studies, and it was consistent with experimental results (ΔH < 0, ΔH < 0). The synchronous fluorescence spectrum showed that the interaction caused a change to the original structure of OVA, and atazanavir had a greater effect on OVA than carfilzomib. CD spectrum analysis also demonstrated that the conformation of OVA changed slightly. The interaction between atazanavir and DNA was mainly driven by hydrophobic forces (ΔH > 0 and ΔH > 0), whereas the major interaction forces involved in the binding of carfilzomib with DNA were hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. DNA melting studies, UV-visible spectroscopy, CD spectroscopy and viscosity measurements established that the interaction between the drugs and DNA was groove binding.

Abstract
A class of structurally unique para-aminobenzenesulfonyl oxadiazoles as new potential antimicrobial agents was designed and synthesized from acetanilide. Some target para-aminobenzenesulfonyl oxadiazoles showed antibacterial potency. Noticeably, hexyl derivative 8b (MIC = 1 μg/mL) was more active than norfloxacin against drug resistant MRSA. Compound 8b was able to disturb the membrane effectively and intercalate into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to form a steady 8b-DNA complex, which might be responsible for bacterial metabolic inactivation. Molecular docking indicated that 8b could interact with DNA topoisomerase IV through noncovalent interactions to form a supramolecular complex and hinder the function of this enzyme. These results indicated that hexyl derivative 8b deserved further investigation as a new lead compound.

Abstract
A series of triphenylethylene-naphthalimide (TPE-naph) conjugates was synthesized by a molecular hybridization technique, and their anticancer activity was evaluated in vitro on 60 human cancer cell lines through their cytotoxicity. The ratios of E and Z isomers were determined on the basis of HPLC methodology and NMR spectroscopy. The structure-activity relationship for anticancer activity was deduced on the basis of the nature and bulkiness of the amine attached to the C-4 position of the naphthalene ring. Experimental and molecular modeling studies of the most active TPE-naph conjugate bearing a morpholinyl group showed that it was able to inhibit topoisomerase-II (TOPO-II) as a possible intracellular target. Moreover, the transportation behavior of TPE-naph conjugate towards human serum albumin (HSA) indicated efficient binding affinity. The steady-state and time-dependent fluorescent results suggested that this conjugate quenched HSA significantly through static as well as dynamic quenching. Thus, this report discloses the scope of triphenylethylene-naphthalimide (TPE-naph) conjugates as efficient anticancer agents.

Abstract
The rapid growth of serious infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, especially the nosocomial ESKAPE pathogens, has been acknowledged by Governments and scientists and is one of the world's major health problems. Various strategies have been and are currently investigated and developed to reduce and/or delay the bacterial resistance. One of these strategies regards the design and development of antimicrobial hybrids and conjugates. This unprecedented critical review, in which our continuing interest in the synthesis and evaluation of the bioactivity of imidazole derivatives is testified, aims to summarise and comment on the results obtained from the end of the 1900s until February 2020 in studies conducted by numerous international research groups on the synthesis and evaluation of the antibacterial properties of imidazole-based molecular hybrids and conjugates in which the pharmacophoric constituents of these compounds are directly covalently linked or connected through a linker or spacer. In this review, significant attention was paid to summarise the strategies used to overcome the antibiotic resistance of pathogens whose infections are difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics. However, it does not include literature data on the synthesis and evaluation of the bioactivity of hybrids and conjugates in which an imidazole moiety is fused with a carbo- or heterocyclic subunit.

Abstract
Nitroimidazoles based compounds remain a hot topic of research in medicinal chemistry due to their numerous biological activities. Moreover, many clinical candidates based on this chemical core have been reported to be valuable in the treatment of human diseases. Metronidazole (MTZ) derived conjugates demonstrated a potential application in medicinal chemistry research over the last decade. In this review, we summarize the synthesis, key structure-activity-relationship (SAR) and associated biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV and anti-parasitic (Anti-trichomonas, antileishmanial, antiamoebic and anti-giardial) of explored MTZ-conjugates. The molecular docking analysis is also presented simultaneously, which will assist in developing an understanding towards designing of new MTZ-conjugates for target-based drug discovery against multiple disease areas.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), as a classic reason for genuine skin and flimsy tissues diseases, is a worldwide general wellbeing risk and has already tormented humanity for a long history, creating a critical need for the development of new classes of antibacterials. 1,2,3-Triazole moiety, readily interact with diverse enzymes and receptors in organisms through weak bond interaction, is among the most common frameworks present in the bioactive molecules. 1,2,3-Triazole derivatives, especially 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids, possess broad-spectrum activity against a panel of clinically important bacteria including drug-resistant pathogens, so rational design of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives may open a door for the opportunities on the development of novel anti-MRSA agents. This review is an endeavour to highlight the current scenario of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids with potential anti-MRSA activity, covering articles published between 2010 and 2020.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) especially iron oxide (Fe3O4) NPs have quite extensively been used for in vivo delivery of biomolecules and drugs because of their high bioconjugation efficiency. In this study, Fe3O4 NPs and (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTS) coated Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized and their interaction with Calf thymus (Ct) DNA has been studied in order to understand their usage in biomedical applications. Hydrothermal method was used for the NPs synthesis. Characterization of NPs was done using techniques like UV-Visible spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, EDAX, Zeta Sizer and powder XRD. Further, interaction studies of NPs with Ct-DNA were investigated using various physicochemical techniques. In UV-Visible studies, hypochromicity with binding constant 3.2 × 105 M-1 was observed. Binding constants calculated using fluorescence studies were found to be k = 3.2 × 104 M-1, 2.9 × 104 M-1 at 293 and 323 K respectively. Results of UV-Visible and fluorescence studies were in correlation with other techniques like UV-TM and CD. All studies suggested alteration in DNA conformation on interaction with surface engineered Fe3O4 NPs, stabilizing DNA-NPs conjugate via partial intercalation and electrostatic interactions. This study may facilitate our understanding regarding the physicochemical properties and DNA-binding ability of APTS-Fe3O4 NPs for their further application in magnetosensitive biosensing and drug delivery. Iron oxide based magnetic nanoparticles are well known for their excellent bio-conjugation efficiency and therefore APTS-Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized via very simple and benign hydrothermal method. Further, the interaction of APTS-Fe3O4 NPs with calf thymus DNA was studied using various physicochemical techniques to explore their potential in biomedical applications.

Abstract
![]()
Thiazoles,
their benzofused systems, and thiazolidinone derivatives
are widely recognized as nuclei of great value for obtaining molecules
with various biological activities, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory,
anti-HIV, antidiabetic, antitumor, and antimicrobial. In particular,
in the past decade, many compounds bearing these heterocycles have
been studied for their promising antibacterial properties due to their
action on different microbial targets. Here we assess the recent development
of this class of compounds to address mechanisms underlying antibiotic
resistance at both bacterial-cell and community levels (biofilms).
We also explore the SAR and the prospective clinical application of
thiazole and its benzofused derivatives, which act as inhibitors of
mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance in the treatment of severe
drug-resistant infections. In addition, we examined all bacterial
targets involved in their antimicrobial activity reporting, when described,
their spontaneous frequencies of resistance.

Abstract
The 1,2,3-triazole ring is a major pharmacophore system among nitrogen-containing heterocycles. These five-membered heterocyclic motifs with three nitrogen heteroatoms can be prepared easily using 'click' chemistry with copper- or ruthenium-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. Recently, the 'linker' property of 1,2,3-triazoles was demonstrated, and a novel class of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids and conjugates was synthesised and evaluated as lead compounds for diverse biological targets. These lead compounds have been demonstrated as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, antiviral, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, and neuroprotective agents. The present review summarises advances in lead compounds of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids, conjugates, and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry published in 2018. This review will be useful to scientists in research fields of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry, and pharmacology.
