Abstract
Pyrimidine-based heterocyclic compounds are garnering substantial interest due to their essential role as a class of natural and synthetic molecules. These compounds show a diverse array of biologically relevant activities, making them highly prospective candidates for clinical translation as therapeutic agents in combating various diseases. Pyrimidine derivatives and their fused analogues, such as thienopyrimidines, pyrazolopyrimidines, pyridopyrimidines, and pyrimidopyrimidines, hold immense possibility in both anticancer and antibacterial research. These compounds exhibit notable efficacy by targeting protein kinases, which are crucial enzymes regulating fundamental cellular processes like metabolism, migration, division, and growth. Through enzyme inhibition, these derivatives disrupt key cellular signaling pathways, thereby affecting critical cellular functions and viability. The advantage lies in the ubiquity of the pyrimidine structure across various natural compounds, enabling interactions with enzymes, genetic material, and cellular components pivotal for chemical and biological processes. This interaction plays a central role in modulating vital biological activities, making pyrimidine-containing compounds indispensable in drug discovery. In the realm of anticancer therapy, these compounds strategically target key proteins like EGFR, important for aberrant cell growth. Fused pyrimidine motifs, exemplified by various drugs, are designed to inhibit EGFR, thereby impeding tumor progression. Moreover, these compounds influence potent antibacterial activity, interfering with microbial growth through mechanisms ranging from DNA replication inhibition to other vital cellular functions. This dual activity, targeting both cancer cells and microbial pathogens, underscores the versatility and potential of pyrimidine derivatives in medical applications. This review provides insights into the structural characteristics, synthesis methods, and significant medicinal applications of fused pyrimidine derivatives, highlighting their double role in combating cancer and bacterial infections.

Abstract
This review deals with computational study of polyphenolic compounds of medicinal importance and interest for drug development. Herein, four polyphenolic compounds comprising catechol (1), caffeic acid (II), gallic acid (III), and pyrogallol (IV) have been isolated from a medicinal specie, Fagonia indica, by applying silica gel column chromatography. These compounds were identified by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and confirmed by geometric computational analysis. According to computational results, caffeic acid has shown the highest biological activation due to higher chemical softness, electronegativity (χ (eV) = -648.644), and electrostatic potential value (-8.424 × 10-2 to +8.424 × 10-2), while smaller values of chemical potential (-0.269), ELUMO (-0.080), and energy gap (ΔE = 0.149). The Mulliken atomic charges were calculated by using DFT/B3LYP with basis set 6-311G for the determination of active sites. The oxygen atom of catechol showed highest nucleophilic characteristic with a more negative charge (08 = -0.695), and pyrogallol indicated a strong electrophilic center at C14 = 0.415 with a higher positive charge. Moreover, UV-visible absorption spectra and a detailed study of vibrational frequencies for all phenolic compounds by employing the DFT approach with 3-21G, 6-31G, and 6-311G basis sets at the ground-state level showed the great agreement with experimental results. ANOVA has been applied to validate the theoretical data. Results suggest that compounds I-IV are suitable in diverse fields.

Abstract
Citrus, which belongs to the Rutaceae family, is a very widespread genus in the Mediterranean Basin. In Tunisia, various parts of these spontaneous or cultivated plants are used in common dishes or in traditional medicine. The purpose of this work was to investigate C. limon and C. paradisi essential oil (EO). The samples were studied for their chemical composition using SPME/MS, as well as their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) methods were used to evaluate the anticoagulant potentialities. The obtained results show that both essential oils are rich in monoterpenes hydrocarbons, whereby limonene is the main compound in C. paradisi EO (86.8%) and C. limon EO (60.6%). Moreover, C. paradisi EO contains β-pinene (13.3%), sabinene (2.2%) and α-pinene (2.1%). The antibacterial assay of the essential oils showed important bactericidal and fungicidal effects against all strains tested. In fact, the MICs values of C. limon EO ranged from 0.625 to 2.5 mg/mL against all Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and from 6.25 to 12.5 mg/mL for Candida spp. strains, while C. paradisi EO was more active against all bacteria with low MICs values ranging from 0.192 to 0.786 mg/mL, and about 1.5 mg/mL against Candida species. Both tested Citrus EOs exhibited interesting anticoagulant activities as compared to heparin. The molecular docking approach was used to study the binding affinity and molecular interactions of all identified compounds with active sites of cytidine deaminase from Klebsiella pneumoniae (PDB: 6K63) and the C (30) carotenoid dehydrosqualene synthase from Staphylococcus aureus (PDB: 2ZCQ). The obtained results show that limonene had the highest binding score of -4.6 kcal.mol-1 with 6K63 enzyme, and -6.7 kcal.mol-1 with 2ZCQ receptor. The ADME profiling of the major constituents confirmed their important pharmacokinetic and drug-like properties. Hence, the obtained results highlight the potential use of both C. limon and C. paradisi essential oils as sources of bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-coagulant activities.

Abstract
Introduction The anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of a novel series of eleven pyrimido[1,2-b]pyridazin-2-one analogues substituted at position 7 were assessed in the current study. Methods The physicochemical characteristics were studied using MolSoft software. The antiproliferative activity was investigated by MTT cell viability assay, and cell cycle analysis elucidated the antiproliferative mechanism of action. Western blot analysis examined the expression levels of key pro-apoptotic (Bax, p53) and pro-survival (Bcl-2) proteins. The anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by measuring the production levels of nitric oxide in RAW264.7 cells, and the expression levels of COX-2 enzyme in LPS-activated THP-1 cells. In addition, the gene expression of various pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, TNF-α) and chemokines (CCL2, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3) was assessed by RT-qPCR. Results Compound 1 bearing a chlorine substituent displayed the highest cytotoxic activity against HCT-116 and MCF-7 cancer cells where IC50 values of 49.35 ± 2.685 and 69.32 ± 3.186 µM, respectively, were achieved. Compound 1 increased the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins p53 and Bax while reducing the expression of pro-survival protein Bcl-2. Cell cycle analysis revealed that compound 1 arrested cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase. Anti-inflammatory assessments revealed that compound 1 displayed the strongest inhibitory activity on NO production with IC50 of 29.94 ± 2.24 µM, and down-regulated the expression of COX-2. Compound 1 also induced a statistically significant decrease in the gene expression of various cytokines and chemokines. Conclusion These findings showed that the pyrimidine derivative 1 displayed potent anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties in vitro, and can be selected as a lead compound for further investigation.

Abstract
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is an attractive, ever-blossoming, and effortlessly available plant around the globe. The fabulous flowers of H. rosa-sinensis enjoy a significant status in folk medicine throughout the world and comprise a range of phyto constituents due to which this splendid flower owns numerous biological and pharmaceutical activities like antioxidant, antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antidiabetic, and antifertility activity. Considering this, column chromatographic isolation of the phytoconstituents of ethyl acetate fraction of the flowers of H. rosa-sinensis was performed. A series of five phthalates including Di-n-octyl phthalate (HR1), ditridecyl phthalate (HR2), 1-allyl 2-ethyl phthalate (HR3), diethyl phthalate (HR4), and bis (6-methylheptyl) phthalate (HR5) were isolated. The structures of the isolated phthalates were elucidated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. In silico and in vitro antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and DFT studies of isolated phthalates were carried out. In our study, isolated ligands were explored as potent antidiabetic as well as antioxidant agents as they exhibited good binding affinity (in in vitro and in silico experiments) against all selected protein targets. Compounds HR1-HR5 showed that the binding affinity value ranged from -5.9 to -5.2 kcal/mol, -5.5 to -4.3 kcal/mol, and -5.0 to -4.1 kcal/mol for target proteins 1HNY, 2I3Y, and 5O40, respectively. Among all isolated phthalates, HR5 can be a lead compound as it showed the best binding affinity with human pancreatic α-amylase (ΔG = -5.9 kcal/mol) and displayed a minimum inhibition concentration (IC50) of 11.69 μM among all phthalates. Compound HR1 was the best docked and scored compound for inhibiting glutathione peroxidase; however, HR2 possessed the lowest binding score of -5.0 kcal/mol, thus indicating the highest potential among isolated phthalates for inhibiting the superoxide dismutase. Furthermore, the top-ranked docked ligand-protein complex for each protein was assessed for stability of protein and complex mobility by molecular dynamics simulation using the IMOD server.

Abstract
As part of the valorization of agricultural waste into bioactive compounds, a series of structurally novel oleanolic acid ((3β-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, OA-1)-phtalimidines (isoindolinones) conjugates 18a-u bearing 1,2,3-triazole moieties were designed and synthesized by treating an azide 4 previously prepared from OA-1 isolated from olive pomace (Olea europaea L.) with a wide range of propargylated phtalimidines using the Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry approach. OA-1 and its newly prepared analogues, 18a-u, were screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, and two Gram-negative bacteria, Salmonella thyphimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Attractive results were obtained, notably against L. monocytogenes. Compounds 18d, 18g, and 18h exhibited the highest antibacterial activity when compared with OA-1 and other compounds in the series against tested pathogenic bacterial strains. A molecular docking study was performed to explore the binding mode of the most active derivatives into the active site of the ABC substrate-binding protein Lmo0181 from L. monocytogenes. Results showed the importance of both hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with the target protein and are in favor of the experimental data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuroprotection is a precise target for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic stroke, and traumatic brain injury. Pyrimidine and its derivatives have been proven to use antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity prompting us to study the neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory activity of the triazole-pyrimidine hybrid on human microglia and neuronal cell model. METHODS A series of novel triazole-pyrimidine-based compounds were designed, synthesized and characterized by mass spectra, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and a single X-Ray diffraction analysis. Further, the neuroprotective, anti-neuroinflammatory activity was evaluated by cell viability assay (MTT), Elisa, qRT-PCR, western blotting, and molecular docking. RESULTS The molecular results revealed that triazole-pyrimidine hybrid compounds have promising neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. Among the 14 synthesized compounds, ZA3-ZA5, ZB2-ZB6, and intermediate S5 showed significant anti-neuroinflammatory properties through inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production in LPS-stimulated human microglia cells. From 14 compounds, six (ZA2 to ZA6 and intermediate S5) exhibited promising neuroprotective activity by reduced expression of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone, BIP, and apoptosis marker cleaved caspase-3 in human neuronal cells. Also, a molecular docking study showed that lead compounds have favorable interaction with active residues of ATF4 and NF-kB proteins. CONCLUSION The possible mechanism of action was observed through the inhibition of ER stress, apoptosis, and the NF-kB inflammatory pathway. Thus, our study strongly indicates that the novel scaffolds of triazole-pyrimidine-based compounds can potentially be developed as neuroprotective and anti-neuroinflammatory agents.

Abstract
In addition to vaccines, antiviral drugs are essential in order to suppress COVID-19. Although some inhibitor candidates have been determined to target the SARS-CoV-2 protein, there is still an urgent need to continue researching novel inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease 'Omicron P132H', a protein that has recently been discovered. In the present study, in the search for therapeutic alternatives to treat COVID-19 and its recent variants, we conducted a structure-based virtual screening using docking studies for a new series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one derivatives 5-13, which were synthesized from the condensation reaction of pyrazolopyrimidinone-hydrazide (4) with a series of electrophiles. Some significant ADMET predictions-in addition to the docking results-were obtained based on the types of interactions formed and the binding energy values were compared to the reference anti- SARS-CoV-2 redocked drug nirmatrelvir.

Abstract
To explore a new set of anticancer agents, a novel series of pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivativeshave been designed and synthesized viacyclocondensation reactions of pyrazolo-enaminone with a series of arylidenemalononitriles; compound 5 was obtained from 5-amino-4-cyanopyrazole. The structures of the target compounds were investigated by spectral techniques and elemental analysis (IR, UV-Vis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS). All compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity employing a panel of different human tumor cell lines, A375, HT29, MCF7, A2780, FaDu as well as non-malignant NIH 3T3 and HEK293 cells. It has been found that the pyrazolo-pyrido-pyrimidine analog bearing a 4-Br-phenyl moiety was the most active toward many cell lines with EC50 values ranging between 9.1 and 13.5 µM. Moreover, in silico docking studies of the latter with six anticancer drug targets, i.e., DHFR, VEGFR2, HER-2/neu, hCA-IX, CDK6 and LOX5, were also performed, in order to gain some insights into their putative mode of binding interaction and to estimate the free binding energy of this bioactive molecule.

Syzygium aromaticum Extracts as a Potential Antibacterial Inhibitors against Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii: An In-Silico-Supported In-Vitro Study. Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10091062. [PMID: 34572644 PMCID: PMC8472170 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10091062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Imipenem is the most efficient antibiotic against Acinetobacter baumannii infection, but new research has shown that the organism has also developed resistance to this agent. A. baumannii isolates from a total of 110 clinical samples were identified by multiplex PCR. The antibacterial activity of Syzygium aromaticum multiple extracts was assessed following the GC-Mass spectra analysis. The molecular docking study was performed to investigate the binding mode of interactions of guanosine (Ethanolic extract compound) against Penicillin- binding proteins 1 and 3 of A. baumannii. Ten isolates of A. baumannii were confirmed to carry recA and iutA genes. Isolates were multidrug-resistant containing blaTEM and BlaSHV. The concentrations (0.04 to 0.125 mg mL-1) of S. aromaticum ethanolic extract were very promising against A. baumannii isolates. Even though imipenem (0.02 mg mL-1) individually showed a great bactericidal efficacy against all isolates, the in-silico study of guanosine, apioline, eugenol, and elemicin showed acceptable fitting to the binding site of the A. baumannii PBP1 and/or PBP3 with highest binding energy for guanosine between -7.1 and -8.1 kcal/mol respectively. Moreover, it formed π-stacked interactions with the residue ARG76 at 4.14 and 5.6, Å respectively. These findings might support the in vitro study and show a substantial increase in binding affinity and enhanced physicochemical characteristics compared to imipenem.

Abstract
Objective: In this study, small molecules possessing tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized having halogenated benzyl derivatives and carboxylate linkage. As previously reported, FDA approved halogenated pyrimidine derivatives prompted us to synthesize novel compounds in order to evaluate their biological potential. Methodology: Eight pyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate, secondary amine, aromatic benzaldehyde by adding catalytic amount of CuCl2·2H2O via solvent less Grindstone multicomponent reagent method. Molecular structure reactivity and virtual screening were performed to check their biological efficacy as an anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and anti-diabetic agent. These studies were supported by in vitro analysis and QSAR studies. Results: After combined experimental and virtual screening 5c, 5g and 5e could serve as lead compounds, having low IC50 and high binding affinity.

Abstract
Chemotherapy represents the most applied approach to cancer treatment. Owing to the frequent onset of chemoresistance and tumor relapses, there is an urgent need to discover novel and more effective anticancer drugs. In the search for therapeutic alternatives to treat the cancer disease, a series of hybrid pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones tethered with hydrazide-hydrazones, 5a-h, was synthesized from condensation reaction of pyrazolopyrimidinone-hydrazide 4 with a series of arylaldehydes in ethanol, in acid catalysis. In vitro assessment of antiproliferative effects against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, unveiled that 5a, 5e, 5g, and 5h were the most effective compounds of the series and exerted their cytotoxic activity through apoptosis induction and G0/G1 phase cell-cycle arrest. To explore their mechanism at a molecular level, 5a, 5e, 5g, and 5h were evaluated for their binding interactions with two well-known anticancer targets, namely the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the G-quadruplex DNA structures. Molecular docking simulations highlighted high binding affinity of 5a, 5e, 5g, and 5h towards EGFR. Circular dichroism (CD) experiments suggested 5a as a stabilizer agent of the G-quadruplex from the Kirsten ras (KRAS) oncogene promoter. In the light of these findings, we propose the pyrazolo-pyrimidinone scaffold bearing a hydrazide-hydrazone moiety as a lead skeleton for designing novel anticancer compounds.
