ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:21522-21530. [PMID: 37360497 PMCID: PMC10286293 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c00580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
5-Fluorouracil is mainly used for the treatment of tumors and has relatively high toxicity. Trimethoprim is a common broad-spectrum antibiotic agent with extremely poor water solubility. We hoped to solve these problems by synthesizing co-crystals (compound 1) of 5-fluorouracil and trimethoprim. Solubility tests showed that the solubility of compound 1 was improved compared to that of trimethoprim. In vitro anticancer activity tests of compound 1 showed higher activity against human breast cancer cells than 5-fluorouracil. Acute toxicity showed that its toxicity was much lower than that of 5-fluorouracil. In the test of anti-Shigella dysenteriae activity, compound 1 showed much stronger antibacterial activity than trimethoprim.

Abstract
Saccharine is a pharmacologically significant active scaffold for various biological activities, including antibacterial and anticancer activities. Herein, saccharinyl hydrazide (1) was synthesized and converted into 2-[(2Z)-2-(1,1-dioxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-1λ6,2- benzothiazole-3-ylidene) hydrazinyl] acetohydrazide (5), which was employed as a key precursor for synthesizing a novel series of small molecules bearing different moieties of monosaccharides, aldehydes, and anhydrides. Potent biological activities were found against Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli, and the results indicated that compounds 6c and 10a were the most active analogs with an inhibition zone diameter of 30–35 mm. In cell-based anticancer assay over Ovcar-3 and M-14 cell lines, compound 10a was the most potent analog with IC50 values of 7.64 ± 0.01 and 8.66 ± 0.01 µM, respectively. The Petra Orisis Molinspiration (POM) theoretical method was used to calculate the drug score of tested compounds and compare them with their experimental screening data. Theoretical DFT calculations were carried out in a gas phase in a set of B3LYP 6-311G (d,p). Molecular docking studies utilizing the MOE indicated the best binding mode with the highest energy interaction within the binding sites. The molecular docking for Ovcar-3 was carried out on the ovarian cancer protein (3W2S), while the molecular docking for M-14 melanoma was carried out on the melanoma cancer protein (2OPZ). The MD performed about 2ns simulations to validate selected compounds’ theoretical studies.

Abstract
Among non-covalent interactions, halogen bonding is emerging as a new powerful tool for supramolecular self-assembly. Here, along with a green and effective method, we report three new halogen-bonded cocrystals containing uracil derivatives and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene as X-bond donor coformer. These multicomponent solids were prepared both by solvent-drop grinding and solution methods and further characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, and thermal methods (TGA-DSC). In order to study the relative importance of hydrogen versus halogen bonds in the crystal packing, computational methods were applied.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical cocrystals are multicomponent systems in which at least one component is an active pharmaceutical ingredient and the others are pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients. Cocrystallization of a drug substance with a coformer is a promising and emerging approach to improve the performance of pharmaceuticals, such as solubility, dissolution profile, pharmacokinetics and stability. This review article presents a comprehensive overview of pharmaceutical cocrystals, including preparation methods, physicochemical properties, and applications. Furthermore, some examples of drug cocrystals are highlighted to illustrate the effect of crystal structures on the various aspects of active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as physical stability, chemical stability, mechanical properties, optical properties, bioavailability, sustained release and therapeutic effect. This review will provide guidance for more efficient design and manufacture of pharmaceutical cocrystals with desired physicochemical properties and applications.

Abstract
Selenium containing heterocyclic compounds gained great interest as bioactive molecules as of late. This report explores the design, synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial screening of new pyridine derivatives endowed with selenium moieties. A one-pot multicomponent system with a solvent-free, microwave irradiation environment was employed to afford this series. The spectroscopic techniques were exploited to verify the structures of the synthesized derivatives. Additionally, the agar diffusion method was employed to determine the antimicrobial activity of all the desired compounds. Of all the synthesized molecules, 9b, 12b, 14f, and 16d exhibited well to remarkable antibacterial and antifungal activities. Moreover, derivative 14f demonstrated the most potent antibacterial and antifungal performance. The results were also supported by molecular docking studies, utilizing the MOE (molecular operating environment) which revealed the best binding mode with the highest energy interaction within the binding pocket. Lastly, theoretical DFT calculations were carried out in a gas phase at B3LYP 6-311G (d,p) basis set to predict the molecular geometries and chemical reactivity descriptors. DFT results have been used to illustrate that molecular docking findings and biological activity assessments.

Abstract
The high biological activity of the chromene compounds coupled with the intriguing optical features of azo chromophores prompted our desire to construct novel derivatives of chromene incorporating azo moieties 4a-l, which have been prepared via a three-component reaction of 1-naphthalenol-4-[(4-ethoxyphenyl) azo], 1, with the benzaldehyde derivatives and malononitrile. The structural identities of the azo-chromene 4a-l were confirmed on the basis of their spectral data and elemental analysis, and a UV-visible study was performed in a Dimethylformamide (DMF) solution for these molecules. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity was investigated against four human pathogens (Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria) and four fungi, employing an agar well diffusion method, with their minimum inhibitory concentrations being reported. Molecules 4a, 4g, and 4h were discovered to be more efficacious against Syncephalastrum racemosum (RCMB 05922) in comparison to the reference drugs, while compounds 4b and 4h demonstrated the highest inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) in evaluation against the reference drugs. Moreover, their cytotoxicity was assessed against three different human cell lines, including human colon carcinoma (HCT-116), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) with a selection of molecules illustrating potency against the HCT-116 and MCF-7 cell lines. Furthermore, the molecular modeling results depicted the binding interactions of the synthesized compounds 3b and 3h in the active site of the E. coli DNA gyrase B enzyme with a clear SAR (structure-activity relationship) analysis. Lastly, the density functional theory's (DFTs) theoretical calculations were performed to quantify the energy levels of the Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMOs) and their energy gaps, dipole moments, and molecular electrostatic potentials. These data were utilized in the chemical descriptor estimations to confirm the biological activity.

Abstract
Coronavirus desease 2019 (COVID-19) is responsible for more than 1.80 M deaths worldwide. A Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) model is developed based on experimental pIC50 values reported for a structurally diverse dataset. A robust model with only five descriptors is found, with values of R2 = 0.897, Q2LOO = 0.854, and Q2ext = 0.876 and complying with all the parameters established in the validation Tropsha's test. The analysis of the applicability domain (AD) reveals coverage of about 90% for the external test set. Docking and molecular dynamic analysis are performed on the three most relevant biological targets for SARS-CoV-2: main protease, papain-like protease, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. A screening of the DrugBank database is executed, predicting the pIC50 value of 6664 drugs, which are IN the AD of the model (coverage = 79%). Fifty-seven possible potent anti-COVID-19 candidates with pIC50 values > 6.6 are identified, and based on a pharmacophore modelling analysis, four compounds of this set can be suggested as potent candidates to be potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. Finally, the biological activity of the compounds was related to the frontier molecular orbitals shapes.

Abstract
New conjugates of substituted 1,2,3-triazoles linked to 1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized starting from the appropriate S-propargylated 1,2,4-triazoles 7 and 8. Ligation of 1,2,4-triazoles to the 1,2,3-triazole core was performed through Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 1,2,4-triazole-based alkyne side chain 7 and/or 8 with several un/functionalized alkyl- and/or aryl-substituted azides 9-15 to afford the desired 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles 16-27, using both classical and microwave methods. After their spectroscopic characterization (infrared, 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and elemental analyses), an anticancer screening was carried out against some cancer cell lines including human colon carcinoma (Caco-2 and HCT116), human cervical carcinoma (HeLa), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7). The outcomes of this exploration revealed that compounds 17, 22, and 25 had a significant anticancer activity against MCF-7 and Caco-2 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.31 and 4.98 μM, respectively, in relation to the standard reference drug, doxorubicin. Enzyme-docking examination was executed onto cyclin-dependent kinase 2; a promising aim for cancer medication. Synthesized compounds acquiring highest potency showcased superior interactions with the active site residue of the target protein and exhibited minimum binding energy. Finally, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to confirm the outcomes of the molecular docking and the experimental findings. The chemical reactivity descriptors such as softness (δ), global hardness (η), electronegativity (χ), and electrophilicity were calculated from the levels of the predicted frontier molecular orbitals and their energy gap. The DFT results and the molecular docking calculation results explained the activity of the most expectedly active compounds 17, 22, and 25.

Abstract
Twenty-four cannabinoids active against MRSA SA1199B and XU212 were optimized at WB97XD/6-31G(d,p), and several molecular descriptors were obtained. Using a multiple linear regression method, several mathematical models with statistical significance were obtained. The robustness of the models was validated, employing the leave-one-out cross-validation and Y-scrambling methods. The entire data set was docked against penicillin-binding protein, iso-tyrosyl tRNA synthetase, and DNA gyrase. The most active cannabinoids had high affinity to penicillin-binding protein (PBP), whereas the least active compounds had low affinities for all of the targets. Among the cannabinoid compounds, Cannabinoid 2 was highlighted due to its suitable combination of both antimicrobial activity and higher scoring values against the selected target; therefore, its docking performance was compared to that of oxacillin, a commercial PBP inhibitor. The 2D figures reveal that both compounds hit the protein in the active site with a similar type of molecular interaction, where the hydroxyl groups in the aromatic ring of cannabinoids play a pivotal role in the biological activity. These results provide some evidence that the anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity of these cannabinoids may be related to the inhibition of the PBP protein; besides, the robustness of the models along with the docking and Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) results allow the proposal of three new compounds; the predicted activity combined with the scoring values against PBP should encourage future synthesis and experimental testing.
