Abstract
In recent years, extensive research has focused on cannabidiol (CBD), a well-studied non-psychoactive component of the plant-derived cannabinoids. CBD has shown significant therapeutic potential for treating various diseases and disorders, including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. Due to the promising therapeutic effect of CBD in a wide variety of diseases, synthetic derivatization of this compound has attracted the attention of drug discovery in both industry and academia. In the current research, we focused on the derivatization of CBD by introducing Schiff base moieties, particularly (thio)-semicarbazide and aminoguanidine motifs, at the 3-position of the olivetolic ring. We have designed, synthesized, and characterized new derivatives based on CBD's framework, specifically aminoguanylhydrazone- and (thio)-semicarbazones-CBD-aldehyde compounds. Their antioxidant potential was assessed using FRAP and DPPH assays, alongside an evaluation of their effect on LDL oxidation induced by Cu2+ and AAPH. Our findings suggest that incorporating the thiosemicarbazide motif into the CBD framework produces a potent antioxidant, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex and multifactorial disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and is one of the main causes of death in the world. This work aimed to evaluate a small series of 10 different indole-thiosemicarbazone compounds as potential antitumor agents. This is a pioneering study. For this, the antioxidant and cytotoxic capacity against normal and tumor cells was evaluated. The results showed that the compounds were able to promote moderate to low antioxidant activity for the ABTS radical scavenging assay. ADMET in silico assays showed that the compounds exhibited good oral bioavailability. As for toxicity, they were able to promote low cytotoxicity against normal cells, in addition to not being hemolytic. The compounds showed promising in vitro antitumor activity against the T47D, MCF-7, Jurkat and DU-145 strains, not being able to inhibit the growth of the Hepg2 strain. Through this in vitro study, it can be concluded that the compounds are potential candidates for antitumor agents.

Design, synthesis, In-vitro, In-silico and DFT studies of novel functionalized isoxazoles as antibacterial and antioxidant agents. Comput Biol Chem 2024; 108:107993. [PMID: 38071761 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2023.107993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
A series of new isoxazolederivatives incorporating the sulfonate ester function has been synthesized from 2-benzylidenebenzofuran-3(2 H)-one, known as aurone. The synthesis of the target compounds was carried out following an efficient methodology that allows access to the desired products in a reproducible way and with good yield. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established using NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. A theoretical study was performed to optimize the geometrical structures and to calculate the structural and electronic parameters of the synthesized compounds. The calculations were also carried out to understand the influence and the effect of substitutions on the chemical reactivity of the studied compounds. The synthesized isoxazoles were screened for their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The findings demonstrate that the studied compounds exhibit good to moderate antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli). Moreover, a number of the tested isoxazole derivatives exhibit high effectiveness against DPPH free radicals. Besides that, molecular docking studies were carried out to predict binding affinity and identify the most likely binding interactions between the active molecules and the target microorganisms' proteins. A 100 ns molecular dynamics study was then conducted to examine the dynamic behavior and stability of the highly potent isoxazole 4e in complex with the target bacterial proteins. Finally, the ADMET analyses suggest that all the synthesized isoxazoles have good pharmacokinetic profiles and non-toxicity and non-carcinogenicity in biological systems.
