Abstract
Based on the activity of 23 TSCs on CZ taken from the literature, we have developed a QSAR model for predicting the activity of TSCs. New TSCs were designed and then tested against CZP, resulting in inhibitors with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. The modelling of the corresponding TSC-CZ complexes by molecular docking and QM/QM ONIOM refinement indicates a binding mode compatible with what was expected for active TSCs, according to a geometry-based theoretical model previously developed by our research group. Kinetic experiments on CZP suggest that the new TSCs act by a mechanism that involves the formation of a reversible covalent adduct with slow association and dissociation kinetics. These results demonstrate the strong inhibitory effect of the new TSCs and the benefit of the combined use of QSAR and molecular modelling techniques in the design of new and potent CZ/CZP inhibitors.

Abstract
The development of cruzipain inhibitors represents one of the most attractive challenges in the search for drugs for the treatment of Chagas disease. A recombinant form of this enzyme, cruzain, has been crystallized with numerous inhibitors, excluding thiosemicarbazones. These compounds have been established as potent inhibitors of cruzain, although there is very little data in the literature of thiosemicarbazones tested on cruzipain. In this work, we present the results of the evaluation of eleven thiosemicarbazones on cruzipain, isolated from T. cruzi epimastigotes, six of them previously evaluated on cruzain. For these latter, we studied through computational methods, the mode of interaction with the active site of cruzain and the contribution of geometric parameters to the possible mechanism of action involved in the observed inhibition. Finally, from some geometric parameters analyzed on modeled TSC-cruzain complexes, a semi-quantitative relationship was established that could explain the inhibitory activity of thiosemicarbazones on cruzipain, the enzyme actually present in the parasite.

Abstract
Background: :
Styrylquinolines are characteristic fully aromatic compounds with flat,
rather lipophilic structures. The first reports on their synthesis and biological activity were published
roughly a century ago. However, their low selectivity, unfavorable toxicity and problems
with their mechanism of action significantly hampered their development. As a result, they have
been abandoned for most of the time since they were discovered.
Objective: :
Their renaissance was observed by the antiretroviral activity of several styrylquinoline
derivatives that have been reported to be HIV integrase inhibitors. Subsequently, other activities
such as their antifungal and anticancer abilities have also been revisited.
Methods:
In the present review, the spectrum of the activity of styrylquinolines and their use in
drug design is presented and analyzed.
Results:
New properties and applications that were reported recently have re-established
styrylquinolines within medicinal and material chemistry. The considerable increase in the number
of published papers regarding their activity spectrum will ensure further discoveries in the field.
Conclusions:
Styrylquinolines have earned a much stronger position in medicinal chemistry due to
the discovery of their new activities, profound mechanisms of action and as drug candidates in
clinical trials.

Abstract
A new class of TSCs containing piperazine (piperazinylogs) of Triapine, was designed to fulfill the di-substitution pattern at the TSCs N4 position, which is a crucial prerequisite for the high activity of the previously obtained TSC compounds–DpC and Dp44mT. We tested the important physicochemical characteristics of the novel compounds L1-L12. The studied ligands are neutral at physiological pH, which allows them to permeate cell membranes and bind cellular Fe pools more readily than less lipid-soluble ligands, e.g. DFO. The selectivity and anti-cancer activity of the novel TSCs were examined in a variety of cancer cell types. In general, the novel compounds demonstrated the greatest promise as anti-cancer agents with both a potent and selective anti-proliferative activity. We investigated the mechanism of action more deeply, and revealed that studied compounds inhibit the cell cycle (G1/S phase). Additionally we detected apoptosis, which is dependent on cell line’s specific genetic profile. Accordingly, structure-activity relationship studies suggest that the combination of the piperazine ring with Triapine allows potent and selective anticancer chelators that warrant further in vivo examination to be identified. Significantly, this study proved the importance of the di-substitution pattern of the amine N4 function.

Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis of a novel series of acridine thiosemicarbazones through a two-step reaction between various isothiocyanates and hydrazine followed by treatment with acridin-9-carbaldehyde. The properties of this series of seven new derivatives are studied using NMR and biochemical techniques, and the DNA-binding properties of the compounds are determined using spectrophotometric studies (UV-vis absorption, fluorescence, and circular/linear dichroism) and viscometry. The binding constants K are estimated as being in the range of 2.2 to 7.8×104M-1 and the percentage of hypochromism was found to be 22.11-49.75% (from UV-vis spectral titration). Electrophoretic experiments prove that the novel compounds demonstrate moderate inhibitory effects against Topo I activity at a concentration of 60×10-6M.

Abstract
Glycoconjugates are combinations of sugar moieties with organic compounds. Due to their biological resemblance, such structures often have properties that are desirable for drugs. In this study we designed and synthesised several glycoconjugates from small molecular quinolines and substituted gluco- and galactopyranosyl amines. Although the parent quinoline compounds were inactive in affordable concentrations, the glycoconjugates that were obtained appeared to be cytotoxic against cancer cells at the micromolar level. When combined with copper ions, their activity increased even further. Their mechanism of action is connected to the formation of reactive oxygen species and the intercalation of DNA.

Abstract
Crystallographic, experimental (FT-IR and FT-RS) and theoretical density function theory (DFT) and UV-Vis spectra of (E)-1-[1-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethylidene]thiosemicarbazide) (ECET) are investigated. The optimized geometry of the compound was calculated from the DFT-B3LYP gradient calculations employing 6-31G (d,p) basis set and calculated vibrational frequencies are evaluated via comparison with experimental values. Molecular stability has been analyzed using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) and Natural Localized Molecular Orbital (NLMO) analysis and the limits of the molecular electrostatic potential observed. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show the charge transfer occurs within the molecule.
