[PMID: 38889607 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
The triazole functional group plays a pivotal role in the composition of biomolecules with potent anticancer activities, including numerous clinically approved drugs. The strategic utilization of the triazole fragment in the rational modification of lead compounds has demonstrated its ability to improve anticancer activities, enhance selectivity, optimize pharmacokinetic properties, and overcome resistance. There has been significant interest in triazole-containing hybrids in recent years due to their remarkable anticancer potential. However, previous reviews on triazoles in cancer treatment have failed to provide tailored design strategies specific to these compounds. Herein, we present an overview of design strategies encompassing a structure-modification approach for incorporating triazoles into hybrid molecules. This review offers valuable references and briefly introduces the synthesis of triazole derivatives, thereby paving the way for further research and advancements in the field of effective and targeted anticancer therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant pathogens cause substantial crop losses annually, posing a grave threat to global food security. Fungicides have usually been used for their control, but the rapid development of pesticide resistance renders many ineffective, therefore the search for novel and efficient green pesticides to prevent and control plant diseases has become the top priority in crop planting. RESULTS The results of bioassay studies indicated that most of the target compounds showed certain antimicrobial activity in vitro. In particular, compound X7 showed high inhibitory activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), with an EC50 value of 27.47 μg mL-1, surpassing conventional control agents such as thiazole zinc (41.55 μg mL-1) and thiodiazole copper (53.39 μg mL-1). Further studies on molecular docking showed that X7 had a strong binding affinity with 2FBW. The morphological change observed by scanning electron microscopy indicated that the surface of Xoo appears wrinkled and cracked under X7 treatment and a total of 2662 proteins were identified by label-free proteomic analysis. Three experiments have elucidated the mechanism whereby X7 induced considerable changes in the physiological and biochemical properties of Xoo, which in turn affected the reproduction and growth of bacteria. CONCLUSION This work represents a pivotal advancement, offering important reference for the research and development therapeutics in combating plant pathogens. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

The review highlights the anti-inflammatory effect of 1,2,4-triazoles in relation to their ability to disrupt significant inflammatory mediators and pathways. We present in-silico data that illuminate the triazoles' capacity to inhibit cell division, encourage apoptosis, and stop metastasis in a range of cancer models. This review looks at the bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, with a focus on their potential efficacy against multi-drug resistant bacterial infections and their usage in tuberculosis therapy. In order to better understand these substances' potential anti-diabetic benefits, this review also looks at how they affect glucose metabolism regulation and insulin responsiveness. Coordinated efforts are required to translate the efficacy of 1,2,4-triazole compounds in preclinical models into practical therapeutic benefits. Based on the information provided, it can be concluded that 1,2,4-triazole derivatives are a promising class of diverse therapeutic agents with potential utility in a range of disorders. Their development and improvement might herald a new era of medical care that will be immensely advantageous to both patients and the medical community as a whole. This comprehensive research, which is further reinforced by in-silico investigations, highlights the great medicinal potential of 1,2,4-triazoles.

Abstract
The present study reports the new thiazole (A-L) derivatives based on benzothiazole fused triazole which were synthesized and assessed against thymidine phosphorylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. Several compounds with the same basic structure but different substituents were found to have high activity against the targeted enzymes, while others with the same basic skeleton but different substituents were found to have medium to low activity among the members of tested series. These analogs showed a varied range of inhibition in both case thymidine phosphorylase and alpha glucosidase, A (IC50 = 7.20 ± 0.30 µM and IC50 = 1.30 ± 0.70 µM), B (IC50 = 8.80 ± 0.10 µM and IC50 = 2.10 ± 0.30 µM), C (IC50 = 8.90 ± 0.40 µM and IC50 = 3.20 ± 0.20 µM) and thiazole containing analogs such as G (IC50 = 11.10 ± 0.20 µM and IC50 = 7.80 ± 0.20 µM) and H (IC50 = 12.30 ± 0.30 µM and IC50 = 6.30 ± 0.20 µM). When compared with standard drugs 7-Deazaxanthine, 7DX (IC50 = 10.60 ± 0.50 µM) and acarbose (IC50 = 4.30 ± 0.30 µM) respectively. These analogs were also subjected to molecular docking studies which indicated the binding interaction of molecules with active sites of the enzyme and strengthen the drug profile of these compounds. ADMET studies also predict the drug-like properties of these compounds, with no violations of drug likeness rules.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains a major global health issue, particularly affecting women and contributing significantly to mortality rates. Current treatments for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers, such as aromatase inhibitors, are effective but often come with side effects and resistance issues. This study addresses these gaps by targeting aromatase, an enzyme crucial for estrogen synthesis, which plays a pivotal role in breast cancer progression. The innovative approach involves synthesizing novel bis-triazolopyridopyrimidines, designed to leverage the combined pharmacological benefits of pyridopyrimidine and 1,2,4-triazole structures, known for their potent aromatase inhibition and anti-cancer properties. These compounds were synthesized and characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectral analyses, and their anticancer efficacy was evaluated through MTT assays against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines in vitro. Molecular docking analyses revealed strong binding energies with aromatase, particularly for compounds 5 b, 5 c, 10 a, and 10 b, indicating their potential as effective aromatase inhibitors. The study highlights these compounds as promising candidates for further development as therapeutic agents against breast cancer.

Abstract
Based on our previous research, a 3D-QSAR model (q2=0.51, ONC=5, r2=0.982, F=271.887, SEE=0.052) was established to predict the inhibitory effects of triazole Schiff base compounds on Fusarium graminearum, and its predictive ability was also confirmed through the statistical parameters. According to the results of the model design, 30 compounds with superior bioactivity compared to the template molecule 4 were obtained. Seven of these compounds (DES2-6, DES9-10) with improved biological activity and readily available raw materials were successfully synthesized. Their structures were confirmed through HRMS, NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (DES-5). The bioactivity of the final products was investigated through an in vitro antifungal assay. There was little difference in the EC50 values between the experimental and predicted values of the model, demonstrating the reliability of the model. Especially, DES-3 (EC50=9.915 mg/L) and DES-5 (EC50=9.384 mg/L) exhibited better inhibitory effects on Fusarium graminearum compared to the standard drug (SD) triadimenol (EC50=10.820 mg/L). These compounds could serve as potential new fungicides for future research. The interaction between the final products and isocitrate lyase (ICL) was investigated through molecular docking. Compounds with R groups that have a higher electron-donating capacity were found to be biologically active.

Abstract
The tyrosinase enzyme has a vital role in the browning of vegetables and fruits and the biosynthesis of melanin. In this work, we synthesized a diverse library of coumarin-triazole hybrids, and these compounds were characterized by using suitable analytical techniques. Our research work extends beyond the synthetic effort to explore the therapeutic potential of these compounds. We put the synthesized compounds through meticulous in vitro screening against the tyrosinase enzyme, and these coumarin derivatives evinced good IC50 values in the range of 0.339 ± 0.25 µM to 14.06 ± 0.92 µM. In the library of synthesized compounds, six compounds were found to be more potent than standard ascorbic acid (IC50 = 11.5 ± 1.00), and among them, 17e and 17f, being the most active, exhibited remarkable anti-tyrosinase potential, with IC50 values of 0.339 ± 0.25 μM and 3.148 ± 0.23 μM, respectively. Furthermore, an in silico modeling study was carried out to determine the key interactions of these compounds with the tyrosinase protein (PDB ID: 2Y9X) and thus to authenticate our experimental findings. The quantitative SAR studies exhibited a good correlation between the synthesized derivatives of coumarin and their anti-tyrosinase activity. The docking studies verified the experimental results, and ligand 17e showed good interaction with the core residues of tyrosinase. This study not only expands the field of coumarin-triazole hybrid synthesis but also provides valuable insights for the development of novel tyrosinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Four series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole/1,2,4-triazole hybrids of phthalide derivatives were designed and synthesized to search for novel potential antifungal agents. Preliminary antifungal activity assay results showed that compounds 4 a, 4 b, 4 m, 5 b, 5 f, 5 h, and 7 h exhibited moderate to excellent inhibitory activity against some phytopathogenic fungi. Among them, compound 5 b displayed the most outstanding antifungal effects against V. mali and S. sclerotiorum, with the EC50 mean of 3.96 μg/mL and 5.60 μg/mL, respectively, which was superior to those of commercial fungicides hymexazol and chlorothalonil. Furthermore, compound 5 b could completely suppress the spore germination of V. mali at a concentration of 10 μg/mL. Finally, molecular docking revealed that the potential target for the antifungal activity of compound 5 b was succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). This research provides novel candidate compounds for the prevention of phytopathogenic fungi.

Abstract
We report in this work a synthesis of novel triazolo[1,5]benzodiazepine derivatives by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of N-aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylnitrilimines with 1,5-benzodiazepines. All the structures of the new compounds were determined from their NMR (1H and 13C) and HRMS. Then, X-ray crystallography analysis of compound 4d confirmed the stereochemistry of cycloadducts. The compounds 1, 4a-d, 5a-d, 6c, 7 and 8 were evaluated for their in vitro anti-diabetic activity against α-glucosidase. The compounds 1, 4d, 5a and 5b showed potential inhibitory activities compared to standard acarbose. Additionally, an in silico docking study was conducted to look into the active binding mode of the synthesized compounds within the target enzyme.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
As the incorporation of heterocycles increases the physical characteristics and biological activity of pharmacological molecules, heterocyclic scaffolds are commonly discovered as common cores in a wide spectrum of biologically active drugs. In the contemporary context, many heterocycles have arisen, playing vital roles in diverse pharmaceutical compounds that benefit humanity. Over 85 % of FDA-approved medication molecules contain heterocycles, and most importantly, numerous heterocyclic medicinal molecules indicate potential benefits against a range: of malignancies. The unique flexibility and dynamic core scaffold of these compounds have aided anticancer research. These medications are used to treat cancer patients by targeting particular genes, enzymes, and receptors. Aside from the drugs that are now on the market, numerous forms are being researched for their potential anti-cancer activity. Here in this review, we classified some molecules and biologically active heterocycles containing anticancer medicinal moieties approved by the FDA between 2019 and 2021 based on their use in various forms of cancer. We will focus on those that are suitable for cancer treatment, as well as the essential biochemical mechanisms of action, biological targets, synthetic methods, and inherent limiting considerations in their use.

Abstract
Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) - commonly known as the "click reaction" - serves as the most effective and highly reliable tool for facile construction of simple to complex designs at the molecular level. It relates to the formation of carbon heteroatomic systems by joining or clicking small molecular pieces together with the help of various organic reactions such as cycloaddition, conjugate addition, ring-opening, etc. Such dynamic strategy results in the generation of triazole and its derivatives from azides and alkynes with three nitrogen atoms in the five-membered aromatic azole ring that often forms gel-assembled structures having gelating properties. These scaffolds have led to prominent applications in designing advanced soft materials, 3D printing, ion sensing, drug delivery, photonics, separation, and purification. In this review, we mainly emphasize the different mechanistic aspects of triazole formation, which includes the synthesis of sugar-based and non-sugar-based triazoles, and their gel applications reported in the literature for the past ten years, as well as the upcoming scope in different branches of applied sciences.

Novel synthesized triazole derivatives as effective corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 1M HCl solution: experimental and computational studies. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22180.

Abstract
This article outlines the synthesis of two derivatives of 4-amino-5-hydrazineyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol for the prevention of carbon steel corrosion in 1M HCl solution. These derivatives are (Z)-3-(1-(2-(4-amino-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (TZ1) and 5-(2-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)hydrazineyl)-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (TZ2). Weight loss, electrochemical experiments, surface examinations, and theoretical computation are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the two compounds to be used as corrosion inhibitors. Weight loss and electrochemical studies demonstrate that these derivatives reduce the corrosion rate of carbon steel. To examine the morphology and constitution of the carbon steel surface submerged in HCl solution as well as after adding inhibitors, surface examination tests are performed. Analysis of the test solution via UV-visible spectroscopy is employed to check the possibility of complex formation between inhibitor molecules and Fe2+ ions released during the corrosion process. In order to explore their biological activity, the antibacterial activity was investigated against (E. coli and Bacillus subtilis). Finally, theoretical confirmation of the experimental findings is provided by quantum chemical (DFT) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation studies. More adsorption sites are present in the derivatives of 4-amino-5-hydrazineyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, which offer a novel perspective for developing new classes of corrosion inhibitors with substantial protective efficacy, especially at high temperatures.

Abstract
The tautomerism of a series of 5-alkyl substituted 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazoles in DMSO-d6-containing water has been investigated by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy. The populations of the three possible regioisomers in the tautomeric equilibrium (A [3-alkyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-1H], B [5-alkyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1H] and C [5-alkyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-4H]) were determined. Isomers A (17-40%) and B (54-79%) are the major components and their ratio is insensitive to the substitution pattern, except for the unsubstituted and the methoxymethyl substituted derivatives. The isomer C (3-5%) has been fully characterised for the first time by NMR spectroscopy. Activation energies of tautomerisation (14.74-16.78 kcal mol-1) were determined by EXSY experiments, which also supported the involvement of water in the tautomerisation. Substituent effects on the 15N chemical shifts are relatively small. The DFT study of the tautomerism in DMSO-water showed that both A/B and B/C interconversions are assisted by the pyridine substituent and catalysed by solvent molecules. The NH-A/NH-B tautomerisation takes place via a relayed quadruple proton transfer mediated by three water molecules in the hydrogen-bonded cyclic substructure of a triazole·4H2O complex. The equilibrium B ⇄ C involves three steps: NH-B transfer to the pyridyl nitrogen mediated by a water molecule in a 1 : 1 cyclic complex, rotamerisation to bring the pyridinium NH close to N4 of the triazole catalysed by complexation to a DMSO molecule and transfer of the NH from the pyridinium donor to the N4 acceptor via a 1 : 1 complex with a bridging water molecule. This mechanism of 1,3-prototropic shift in triazoles is unprecedented in the literature.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer among men, causing a huge number of deaths each year. Traditional chemotherapy for PCa mostly focused on targeting androgen receptors. However, some of the patients would develop resistance to hormonal therapy. In these cases, it is suggested for these patients to administer treatments in combination with other chemotherapeutics. Current chemotherapeutics for metastatic castration-resistant PCa could hardly reach satisfying effects, therefore it is crucial to explore novel agents with low cytotoxicity. Herein, a common drug against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the dolutegravir (DTG) was modified to become a series of dolutegravir-1,2,3-triazole derivatives. Among these compounds, the 4d and 4q derivatives were verified with high anti-tumor efficiency, suppressing the proliferation of the prostate cancer cells PC3 and DU145. These compounds function by binding to the poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP), inactivating the PARP and inducing DNA damage in cancer cells. It is noteworthy that the 4d and 4q derivatives showed almost no impact on normal cells and mice. Thereby, the results reveal that these dolutegravir-1,2,3-triazole compounds are potential chemotherapeutics for PCa treatment.

Abstract
This study corresponds to a molecular electron density theory (MEDT) investigation to shed light on the energetics, selectivities, and molecular mechanistic aspects of an experimental domino reaction. Theoretical evidences at the M06-2X/6-31G(d) level indicates that this domino reaction includes three different successive steps and is initialized by a stepwise HCl elimination from precursor chlorohydrazone NPCH to yield nitrile imine NI-2. A subsequent stepwise and highly regioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of NI-2 toward tetramethylguanidine TMG-3 affords corresponding formal [3 + 2] cycloadduct CA-1 as the sole product. Finally, a stepwise HNMe2 elimination experienced by CA-1 leads to amino triazole ATA as an aromatic five-membered target product. Computed rate constants reveal that the HCl elimination step should be considered as the bottleneck of this domino reaction. However, a topological analysis of electron localization function (ELF) of NI-2 demonstrates a zwitterionic type (zw-type) 32 C A reaction is expected between NI-2 and TMG-3. This 32CA reaction also displays an almost noticeable polar character arising from moderate electrophilicity and strong nucleophilicity of NI-2 and TMG-3, respectively. The regioselectivity of 32CA reaction can be explained via analysis of Parr functions values calculated at the reactive sites of reagents. The molecular mechanism of the 32CA reaction was explored through portraying bond forming/breaking patterns involved in this polar, stepwise, and zw-type reaction by means of the ELF analysis. Indeed, formation of both C-N single bonds along the first and second steps takes place through coupling of the corresponding pseudoradical centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemical fungicides are the mainstay of plant disease control in agricultural production, but there are a very limited number of drugs that can effectively control plant diseases. Two series of secondary amine derivatives were synthesized using the diamine skeleton combined with saturated aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and their antibacterial and antifungal activities against plant pathogens were determined. In addition, the antimicrobial mechanism of the highly active compound A26 was preliminarily examined against Xanthomonas oryzae (Xoo). RESULTS Compound A26 exhibited the highest antibacterial potency among all the target compounds, with MIC values of 3.12, 3.12 and 12.5 μg mL-1 against Xoo, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Citri and Pseudomonas sollamacearum, respectively. In addition, compound A26 had powerful curative and protective effects against Xoo at 200 μg mL-1 , and was better than the control agent Xinjunan. Preliminary mechanistic studies showed that compound A26 reduced the bacterial pathogenicity by targeting cell membranes and inhibiting the secretion of extracellular polysaccharides. Meanwhile, the toxicity of compound A26 to Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells and Human Liver-7702 was similar to that of Xinjunan, and it had moderate toxicity according to the World Health Organization classification standard of oral exogenous toxicity, with an LD50 of 245.47 mg kg-1 . CONCLUSION Secondary amines have efficient and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against plant pathogenic bacteria and are expected to be a new class of candidate compounds for antibacterial drugs. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Infectious diseases pose a major challenge to human health, and there is an urgent need to develop new antimicrobial agents with excellent antibacterial activity. A series of novel triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine derivatives were synthesized and their structures were characterized using various techniques, such as melting point, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity using the microbroth dilution method. Among all the tested compounds, some showed moderate to good antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli strains. In particular, compound 2e exhibited superior antibacterial activities (MICs: 32 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and 16 μg/mL against Escherichia coli), which was comparable to the first-line antibacterial agent ampicillin. In addition, the structure-activity relationship of the triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine derivatives was preliminarily investigated.

Abstract
The CF3 group attached to N-aryl hydrazone could be activated upon treatment with a suitable base, thus serving as an excellent C1 unit for the assembly of a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by reaction with hydrazides. The transformation is proposed to proceed via the intermediate formation of a gem-difluorinated azoalkene. Furthermore, this reaction features simple conditions and a broad substrate scope with respect to both trifluoromethyl N-aryl hydrazones and hydrazides.

Bioorg Med Chem 2023; 93:117459. [PMID: 37659217 PMCID: PMC10728769 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2023.117459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
A facile and efficient approach utilizing copper-mediated cross-coupling reaction of N-boc-3-indolylsulfoximines with aryl iodides was developed to synthesize a diverse range of N-arylated indolylsulfoximines 11a-m in excellent yields (up to 91%). The key precursors, free NH sulfoximines 9 were readily prepared by the treatment of N-boc-3-methylthioindoles 8 with a combination of IBD and ammonium carbamate. Under similar conditions NH-free indolylsulfoximine 9a was successfully prepared in gram-scale quantities. The reaction is highly chemoselective and tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. The process is environmentally friendly and is amenable to scale-up. Among the prepared N-arylated indolylsulfoximines 11a-m, compounds 11i-j (2.68-2.76 μM), 11f-g (1.9-3.7 μM) and 11k (1.28 μM) showed potent and selective cytotoxicity against 22Rv1, C4-2 and MCF7 cells, respectively. Indolylsulfoximine derivative 11l displayed a broad spectrum of activity (1.7-8.2 μM) against the tested cancer cell lines. These compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic to normal HEK293 cells, indicating their potential selectivity for cancer cells. We analysed the impact of 11l on various cellular assays to uncover its mechanism of action. Cellular assay shows that 11l increases the endogenous level of ROS, leading to the increased level of p-53 and c-jun inducing apoptosis. 11l also induced mitochondrial dysfunction, further promoting apoptotic pathways. Besides, 11l also restricts cell invasiveness, indicating that it could serve as an effective anti-metastatic agent. As oxidative stress severe F actin causing tubulin depolymerization, we examined the impact of 11l on tubulin dynamics. Accordingly, 11l treatment decreased the levels of polymerized tubulin in 22Rv1 and C4-2 cells. Although future studies are needed to determine their exact molecular target(s), our data shows that N-aryl indolylsulfoximines could serve as effective anti-cancer agents.

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
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to pose a significant public health threat despite their overall decreasing numbers in the last two decades. One group of compounds fundamental to the search for new agents is low-cost natural products. In this study, we explored a group of newly synthesized novel aurone-derived triazole compounds to identify those with pharmaceutical potential as inhibitors of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Using the broth microdilution method, antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC 43300 (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus ATCC 29213 (MSSA) were identified for four aurone-derived triazole compounds, AT106, AT116, AT125, and AT137, using the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations for the bacteria (IC50) and mammalian cell lines (CC50). Compounds AT125 and AT137 were identified to have pharmaceutical potential as the IC50 values against MRSA were 5.412 µM and 3.870 µM, whereas the CC50 values measured on HepG2 cells were 50.57 µM and 39.81 µM, respectively, resulting in selectivity indexes (SI) > 10. Compounds AT106 and AT116 were also selected for further study. IC50 values for these compounds were 5.439 µM and 3.178 µM, and the CC50 values were 60.33 µM and 50.87 µM, respectively; however, SI values > 10 were for MSSA only. Furthermore, none of the selected compounds showed significant hemolytic activity for human erythrocytes. We also tested the four compounds against S. aureus biofilms. Although AT116 and AT125 successfully disrupted MSSA biofilms, there was no measurable potency against MRSA biofilms. Checkerboard antibiotic assays to identify inhibitory mechanisms for these compounds indicated activity against bacterial cell membranes and cell walls, supporting the pharmaceutical potential for aurone-derived triazoles against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Examining structure-activity relationships between the four compounds in this study and other aurone-derived triazoles in our library suggest that substitution with a halogen on either the salicyl ring or triazole aryl group along with triazoles having nitrile groups improves anti-Staphylococcal activity with the location of the functionality being very important.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel benzofuran-based 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (10a-e) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory potential against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and bacterial strains (E. coli and B. subtilis). Preliminary results revealed that almost all assayed compounds displayed promising efficacy against AChE, while compound 10d was found to be a highly potent inhibitor of AChE. Similarly, these 5-bromobenzofuran-triazoles 10a-e were screened against B. subtilis QB-928 and E. coli AB-274 to evaluate their antibacterial potential in comparison to the standard antibacterial drug penicillin. Compound 10b was found to be the most active among all screened scaffolds, with an MIC value of 1.25 ± 0.60 µg/mL against B. subtilis, having comparable therapeutic efficacy to the standard drug penicillin (1 ± 1.50 µg/mL). Compound 10a displayed excellent antibacterial therapeutic efficacy against the E. coli strain with comparable MIC of 1.80 ± 0.25 µg/mL to that of the commercial drug penicillin (2.4 ± 1.00 µg/mL). Both the benzofuran-triazole molecules 10a and 10b showed a larger zone of inhibition. Moreover, IFD simulation highlighted compound 10d as a novel lead anticholinesterase scaffold conforming to block entrance, limiting the swinging gate, and disrupting the catalytic triad of AChE, and further supported its significant AChE inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.55 ± 1.00 µM. Therefore, compound 10d might be a promising candidate for further development in Alzheimer's disease treatment, and compounds 10a and 10b may be lead antibacterial agents.

Abstract
The identification of new targets to address unmet medical needs, better in a personalized way, is an urgent necessity. The introduction of PARP1 inhibitors into therapy, almost ten years ago, has represented a step forward this need being an innovate cancer treatment through a precision medicine approach. The PARP family consists of 17 members of which PARP1 that works by poly-ADP ribosylating the substrate is the sole enzyme so far exploited as therapeutic target. Most of the other members are mono-ADP-ribosylating (mono-ARTs) enzymes, and recent studies have deciphered their pathophysiological roles which appear to be very extensive with various potential therapeutic applications. In parallel, a handful of mono-ARTs inhibitors emerged that have been collected in a perspective on 2022. After that, additional very interesting compounds were identified highlighting the hot-topic nature of this research field and prompting an update. From the present review, where we have reported only mono-ARTs inhibitors endowed with the appropriate profile of pharmacological tools or drug candidate, four privileged scaffolds clearly stood out that constitute the basis for further drug discovery campaigns.

Abstract
The urgent development of newer alternatives has been deemed a panacea for tackling emerging antimicrobial resistance effectively. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 1,3-diaryl substituted pyrazole-based urea and thiourea derivatives as antimicrobial agents. Preliminary screening results revealed that compound 7a (3,4-dichlorophenyl derivative) exhibited potent activity against S. aureus (MIC = 0.25 μg mL-1) and compound 7j (2,4-difluorophenyl derivative) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC = 1 μg mL-1). Compounds 7a and 7j were non-toxic to Vero cells with a favorable selectivity index of 40 and 200, respectively, and demonstrated good microsomal stability. Compound 7a exhibited equipotent activity (MIC = 0.25 μg mL-1) against various multidrug-resistant strains of S. aureus, which include various strains of MRSA and VRSA, and elicited bacteriostatic properties. In an enzymatic assay, 7a effectively inhibited DNA gyrase supercoiling activity at a concentration of 8 times MIC. Further, molecular modeling studies suggested that compound 7a binds at the active site of DNA gyrase with good affinity.

Abstract
In this study, a new series of quinoxalinone derivatives (5a-5p, 6a-6n) was designed and its hypoglycemic activity was evaluated. The results showed that compounds 5i and 6b exhibited stronger hypoglycemic effects than the lead compounds and were comparable to the positive control Pioglitazone. 5i and 6b may exert hypoglycemic effects by alleviating cellular OS and modulating the interactions among GLUT4, SGLT2, and GLUT1 proteins. The alleviating cellular OS of compound 6b was better than that of 5i, and 6b was found to bind better than 5i for most of the screening targets. In summary, compound 6b is a potential lead compound with hypoglycaemic activity.3.

Abstract
Regarding the important role of the urease enzyme as a virulence factor in urease-positive microorganisms in this study, new series of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. All compounds evaluated against urease enzyme exhibiting IC50 values of 0.87 ± 0.09 to 8.32 ± 1.21 µM as compared with thiourea as the positive control (IC50 = 22.54 ± 2.34 µM). The kinetic evaluations of 6a as the most potent derivative recorded a competitive type of inhibition. Molecular dynamic simulations of the 6a derivative were also conducted, showing that 6a occupied the active site with closed state. Antimicrobial activities of all derivatives were performed, and 6f (R = 3-Cl), 6g (R = 4-Cl), and 6h (R = 3,4-diCl) analogs demonstrated significant antifungal activities with MIC values of 1, 2, and 0.5 µg/mL compared with fluconazole with MIC = 2 µg/mL. Synthesized analogs also exhibited potent urease inhibitory activities against C. neoformans (IC50 = 83.7-118.7 µg/mL) and P. mirabilis (IC50 = 74.5-113.7 µg/mL), confirming their urease inhibitory potential. The results demonstrated that the designed scaffold could be considered a suitable pharmacophore to develop potent urease inhibitors.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) is multifactorial oral disease that damages tooth-supporting tissue. PD treatment includes proper oral hygiene, deep cleaning, antibiotics therapy, and surgery. Despite the availability of basic treatments, some of these are rendered undesirable in PD treatment due to side effects and expense. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to develop novel molecules to combat the PD triggering pathogens. The study involved the synthesis of 4-((5-(substituted-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methoxy)benzamidine (5a-e), by condensation of 2-(4-carbamimidoylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (3) with different aromatic acids; and synthesis of 4-((4-(substituted benzylideneamino)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methoxy)benzamidine (6a-b) by treatment of compound 3 with CS2 followed by hydrazination and a Schiff reaction with different aromatic aldehydes. Synthesized compounds were characterized based on the NMR, FTIR, and mass spectrometric data. To assess the effectiveness of the newly synthesized compound in PD, new compounds were subjected to antimicrobial evaluation against P. gingivalis and E. coli using the micro-broth dilution method. Synthesized compounds were also subjected to cytotoxicity evaluation against HEK-293 cells using an MTT assay. The present study revealed the successful synthesis of heterocyclic derivatives of benzamidine with significant inhibitory potential against P. gingivalis and E. coli. Synthesized compounds exhibited minimal to the absence of cytotoxicity. Significant antimicrobial potential and least/no cytotoxicity of new heterocyclic analogs of benzamidine against PD-triggering bacteria supports their potential application in PD treatment.

Abstract
EGFR is one of the important mediators of the signaling cascade that determines key roles in various biological processes such as growth, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis in the cell in response to external and internal stimuli. In recent years, it has been proven that although this enzyme activity is tightly regulated in normal cells, if the enzyme activity cannot be controlled, it can lead to malignancy. EGFR is also considered a prominent macromolecule in targeted cancer chemotherapy. For this purpose, a comprehensive modeling studies were conducted against EGFR protein and novel molecules containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure were suggested to be synthesized. Among the synthesized molecules, compounds 7c, 8c, 8f and 8g were determined to have significant IC50 values. Compound 8g was found to have the IC50 value closest to the very well-known EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib with its noncompetitive inhibition form. Ki value of compound 8g was calculated as 0.00232 µM.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The possibility of functionalization of 2-(polyfluorophenyl)-4H-chromen-4-ones, with them having different numbers of fluorine atoms, with 1,2,4-triazole or imidazole under conditions of base-promoted nucleophilic aromatic substitution has been shown. A high selectivity of mono-substitution was found with the use of an azole (1.5 equiv.)/NaOBut(1.5 equiv.)/MeCN system. The structural features of fluorinated mono(azolyl)-substituted flavones in crystals were established using XRD analysis. The ability of penta- and tetrafluoroflavones to form persubstituted products with triazole under azole (6 equiv.)/NaOBut(6 equiv.)/DMF conditions was found in contrast to similar transformations with imidazole. On the basis of mono(azolyl)-containing polyfluoroflavones in reactions with triazole and pyrazole, polynuclear hybrid compounds containing various azole fragments were obtained. For poly(pyrazolyl)-substituted flavones, green emission in the solid state under UV-irradiation was found, and for some derivatives, weak fungistatic activity was found.

Abstract
The binding studies of DNA with small molecules have been an emerging field of research all the time since DNA as the genetic material is a major biological target for various drugs. Interpretation of small molecule-DNA binding helps in understanding their interactions with designing new drugs of greater medicinal activity. Posaconazole is an antifungal drug in the class of triazoles which are known to possess numerous pharmacological properties. In this work, the nature of the binding of posaconazole with calf-thymus DNA has been studied using spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking studies. A binding constant of the order of 103 M-1 was observed from UV-visible and fluorescence studies for the interaction between posaconazole and calf-thymus DNA. The fluorescence property of posaconazole was found to be quenched by calf-thymus DNA with a quenching constant of the order of 103 M-1. Competitive displacement of ethidium bromide and Hoechst 33258 by posaconazole using fluorescence technique suggested minor groove binding of posaconazole in calf-thymus DNA. Confirmation of the binding mode was further complemented by the viscosity measurement and DNA melting studies followed by KI quenching experiments. The studies on the effect of ionic strength on the binding suggested a possible role of electrostatic force in the interaction. Molecular docking studies reflected a crescent shape of the posaconazole within the minor groove of calf-thymus DNA validating the experimental findings showing the residues involved in the interaction.

AbstractHerein, we reported the synthesis of nineteen novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives including 1,3-diphenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) propan-1-ones (7a-e), 1-(1,3-diphenylpropan-2-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (8a-c) and 1,4-diphenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) butane-1,4-diones (10a-k). The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques like IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectroscopy and Elemental analysis. The cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines including MCF-7, Hela and A549 using MTT assay. Compounds 7d, 7e, 10a and 10d showed a promising cytotoxic activity lower than 12 μM against Hela cell line. The safety of these compounds was also, evaluated on MRC-5 as a normal cell line and relieved that most of the synthesized compounds have proper selectivity against normal and cytotoxic cancerous cell lines. Finally, molecular docking studies were also, done to understand the mechanism and binding modes of these derivatives in the binding pocket of aromatase enzyme as a possible target.

Abstract
Triazole, comprising three nitrogen atoms and two carbon atoms, is divided into two isomers 1,2,3-triazole and 1,2,4-triazole. Compounds containing a triazole are one of the significant heterocycles that exhibit broad biological activities, such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antineoplastic, antimalarial, antiviral, antiproliferative, and anticancer activities. A great quantity of drugs with a triazole structure has been developed and proved, for example, ketoconazole and fluconazole. Given the importance of the triazole scaffold, its synthesis has attracted much attention. This review summarizes the synthetic methods of triazole compounds from various nitrogen sources in the past 20 years.

Abstract
1,2,4-triazole derivatives exhibit various biological activities, including antibacterial and antifungal properties. On the other hand, these chemicals may have unique cumulative and harmful effects on living organisms. The goal of this work is to use quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) and interspecies quantitative toxicity-toxicity relationship (iQSTTR) models to predict the acute toxicity of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. The QSTR models were generated by multiple linear regression (MLR) following the OECD recommendations for QSAR model development and validation. The iQSTTR models were constructed using data on acute oral toxicity in rats and mice, as well as the 2D descriptor. The application domain (AD) analysis was used to identify model outliers and determine if the forecast was credible. Six QSTR models were successfully constructed in rats and mice using various delivery methods, and the scatter plots demonstrated excellent consistency across training and test sets. According to external and internal validation criteria, all six QSTR models may be broadly accepted; however, the orally administered mice model was the optimum one among the six species. Several chemicals with leverage values above the requirements were identified as response or structural outliers in the training sets for six QSTR and two iQSTTR models. All outliers, however, fell slightly outside the threshold or had low prediction errors, which may have had little impact on the capacity to forecast and were therefore preserved in the final models. In fact, neither the QSTR nor the iQSTTR test sets contained any response outliers. Additionally, all external and internal validation results for the iQSTTR models were approved, with the iQSTTR models outperforming the comparable QSTR models, which are deemed more dependable. The QSTR and iQSTTR models performed well in predicting toxicity using test sets, which would be beneficial in evaluating and synthesizing newly discovered 1,2,4-triazoles derivatives with low toxicity and environmental hazard.

Abstract
A new ligand 5-((1-methyl-pyrrol-2-yl) methyl)-4-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione (C15) and its metal complexes with formulae: Mn(C15)Cl2MeOH (1), Fe(C15)Cl2MeOH (2), Ni(C15)Cl2MeOH (3), Cu(C15)2Cl2 (4) and Zn(C15)4Cl2 (5) have been synthesized. The C15 ligand and complexes were characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, EPR, magnetic and TGA studies. The anticancer activities of the organic ligand (C15) and complexes (1–5) were evaluated against human colon adenocarcinoma (HT29) and human lung (A549) cancer cell lines. The complex (1) exhibited potential activity at concentration of 794.37 μM (A549) and 654.31 μM (HT29) in both cancer cells. The complex (3) showed significant activity against the HT29 cancer cell line with an IC50 value of 1064.05 μM. This article highlights some of the metals that have become important in the development of new coordination complexes and the treatment of cancer. Additionally, for C15, the toxicity was predicted by ADMET analysis and molecular docking.

Abstract
A new series of N-thioacylated ciprofloxacin 3a-n were designed and synthesized based on Willgerodt-Kindler reaction. The results of in vitro urease inhibitory assay indicated that almost all the synthesized compounds 3a-n (IC50 = 2.05 ± 0.03-32.49 ± 0.32 μM) were more potent than standard inhibitors, hydroxyurea (IC50 = 100 ± 2.5 μM) and thiourea (IC50 = 23 ± 0.84 μM). The study of antibacterial activity against Gram-positive species (S. aureus and S. epidermidis) revealed that the majority of compounds were more active than ciprofloxacin as the standard drug, and 3h derivative bearing 3-fluoro group had the same effect as ciprofloxacin against Gram-negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa and E. coli). Based on molecular dynamic simulations, compound 3n exhibited pronounced interactions with the critical residues of the urease active site and mobile flap pocket so that the quinolone ring coordinated toward the metal bi-nickel center and the essential residues at the flap site like His593, His594, and Arg609. These interactions caused blocking the active site and stabilized the movement of the mobile flap at the entrance of the active site channel, which significantly reduced the catalytic activity of urease. Noteworthy, 3n also exhibited IC50 values of 5.59 ± 2.38 and 5.72 ± 1.312 µg/ml to inhibit urease enzyme against C. neoformans and P. vulgaris in the ureolytic assay.
