Advancement in chiral heterocycles for the antidiabetic activity

For the synthesis and development of pharmaceuticals, chirality is an important structural component. Chiral heterocyclic compounds have annoyed the interest of synthetic chemists who are working to create useful and efficient techniques for these molecules. As indicated by the expanding number of chiral drugs created in the last two decades, the link between chirality and pharmacological activity has become more important in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. Approximately 65% of currently used drugs are chiral, and many of them are promoted as racemates in many circumstances. There are a growing number of new chiral heterocyclic compounds with important biological properties and intriguing uses in medical chemistry and drug discovery. In this study, we review current breakthroughs in chiral heterocycles and their different physiological activities that have been published in the last year (from 2010 to early 2023). This study focuses on the current trends in the use of chiral heterocycles in drug design and the creation of several powerful and competent candidates for diabetic illnesses.

A biochemistry-oriented drug design: synthesis, anticancer activity, enzymes inhibition, molecular docking studies of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives

In this study, we researched the reactions of 5-(5-bromofuran-2-yl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 5-thiophene-(3-ylmethyl)-4R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with some halogen-containing compounds, a number of new compounds were synthesized (1.1-1.5 and 2.1-2.8). These compounds showed excellent to good inhibitory activities on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. For obtaining the effects of these compounds on AChE and BChE enzymes were determined spectrophotometrically according to Ellman. IC50 values of these enzymes were ranging between 1.63 and 17.68 nM for AChE and 8.71 and 84.02 nM for BChE. After, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality for men over the age of 65 in developed countries. Current treatment options remain limited in the treatment of advanced-stage prostate cancer leading to biochemical recurrence in almost 40% of the patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for development of novel therapeutic tools for treatment of prostate cancer patients. In this study, we aimed at analyzing the potential of all compounds against prostate cancer cells. We found that, of the tested compounds, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 showed significant cytotoxic activities against PC3 prostate cancer cells, although their effect on the viability of normal prostate cells was limited. These findings suggest their selective targeting potential for prostate cancer cells and offer them as candidate therapeutic agents against prostate cancer. The inhibitory activities of some chemical compounds, such as (1.1-1.5 and 2.1-2.8) were assessed by performing the molecular docking study in the presence of AChE, BChE and prostate cancer protein. MM/GBSA methods are calculated binding free energy. Finally, ADME/T analysis was performed to examine the drug properties of the 13 studied molecules.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C20H16BrN3O2, was determined using an inversion twin. Its asymmetric unit comprises two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (A and B) being the stereoisomers. Both mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a dimer with an R 2 2(16) ring motif. The dimers are connected by further N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction·C-Br⋯π inter-actions between these chains contribute to the stabilization of the mol-ecular packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H, C⋯H/H⋯C, O⋯H/H⋯O, Br⋯H/H⋯Br and N⋯H/H⋯N inter-actions.

The central tetra-hydro-pyridine ring of the title compound, C19H17N3O2, adopts a screw-boat conformation. In the crystal, strong C-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds form dimers with R 2 2(14) and R 2 2(12) ring motifs, respectively, between consecutive mol-ecules along the c-axis direction. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect these dimers, forming a three-dimensional network. C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions contribute to the stabilization of the mol-ecular packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the contributions from the most prevalent inter-actions are H⋯H (47.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (20.9%), O⋯H/H⋯O (15.3%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (11.4%).
