Abstract
In this study, a series of halogen-substituted thioxanthenes were synthesized because the most important and biologically active derivatives of xanthenes are thioxanthenes. In order to obtain new thioxanthene derivatives, first, the starting molecules were synthesized by the appropriate reaction methods in two steps. The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation (FCA) method was used to convert the prepared three aromatic substituted starting alcohol compounds to their corresponding thioxanthenes by cyclization. For the intramolecular FCA reaction of secondary alcohols, which are the starting compounds (1a-1t), organic Bro̷nsted acids, which require more innovative, easier, and suitable reaction conditions, were used instead of halide reagents with corrosive effects as classical FCA catalysts. Trifluoroacetic acid was determined to be the organocatalyst with the best yield. Therefore, some original 9-aryl/alkyl thioxanthene derivatives (2a-2t) were synthesized using the optimized FCA method. In addition, a new sulfone derivative of thioxanthene 3i was prepared by performing the oxidation reaction with one of the obtained new thioxanthene 2i. Thioxanthenes and their derivatives are important heterocyclic structures that contain pharmacologically valuable sulfur and are used in the treatment of psychotic diseases such as Alzheimer's or schizophrenia, as well as a number of potent biological activities.

New Strategy for the Synthesis of Some Valuable Chiral 1,3-Diols with High Enantiomeric Purity: New Organocatalyst, Asymmetric Aldol Reaction, and Reduction. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:12657-12664. [PMID: 38524485 PMCID: PMC10955598 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Chiral 1,3-diols are highly valuable molecules used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture. Therefore, in this study, a new strategy was developed to synthesize enantiomerically pure (>99% ee) 1,3-diols. New chiral 1,3-diols (5a-5q) with high enantiomeric purity were synthesized from aldol products chiral 1,3-keto alcohols (4a-4q), which are aldol products with different structures. Chiral 1,3-keto alcohols (4a-4q) were synthesized by a new asymmetric aldol method in the first step. This method was developed using a new proline-derived organocatalyst (3g) and Cu(OTf)2 as an additive in DMSO-H2O for the first time. Almost >99% ee was obtained using our developed aldol procedure. In the second step, original chiral diols (5a-5q) of high enantiomeric purity were obtained by asymmetric reduction of chiral keto alcohols with chiral oxazaborolidine reagents. In this way, a two-step asymmetric reaction was developed for chiral 1,3-diol enantiomers with high enantiomeric purity. The structures of all the original chiral compounds obtained were elucidated by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis methods. Their enantiomeric excesses were determined by the chiral high-performance liquid chromatography method. Both keto alcohols and their corresponding chiral diols synthesized can be used as chiral starting materials and chiral source materials or intermediates in the synthesis of many biologically active molecules, or they can be used as chiral ligands in asymmetric synthesis, serving as organocatalysts.

Stearyl palmitate a multi-target inhibitor against breast cancer: in-silico, in-vitro & in-vivo approach. J Biomol Struct Dyn 2023:1-18. [PMID: 37691453 DOI: 10.1080/07391102.2023.2255271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Multi-target inhibitors are currently trending in the pharmaceutical research, as they possess increased efficacy and reduced toxicity. In this study multi-target inhibitors for breast cancer are explored from a curated list of natural products, i.e. 4,670 phytochemicals belonging to 360 medicinal plants. In-silico screening of phytochemicals using SeeSAR and AutoDock Vina resulted in identification of Stearyl Palmitate as a potential drug molecule that inhibits three drug targets, i.e. HER-2, MEK-1 and PARP-1 proteins. Molecular Dynamics Simulation for 100 ns each for these three protein-ligand complexes using Desmond, Maestro platform also confirmed the prediction of multi-target inhibition by Stearyl Palmitate. Further in-vitro MTT assay demonstrated that Stearyl Palmitate has a significant IC50 value of 40 µM against MCF-7 cells and >1000 µM against L929 cells. This confirmed that Stearyl Palmitate is having selective cytotoxicity towards breast cancer cells in comparison to non-cancerous cells. Fluorescence staining and flow cytometry analysis confirmed that, Stearyl Palmitate is inducing apoptosis in MCF-7 cells at IC50 concentration. Finally, in-vivo efficacy and toxicity studies were performed using zebrafishes (Danio rerio). It was observed that the fishes treated with IC50 concentration of Stearyl Palmitate demonstrated 2x folds reduction in tumour size, while double dose resulted in 4x folds reduction in tumour size. Stearyl Palmitate did not demonstrate any toxicity or side effects in the zebrafishes. It is concluded that, Stearyl Palmitate, a phytochemical reported to be present in Althea officinalis is a potential anti-breast cancer agent, with ability to inhibit multiple targets such as HER-2, MEK-1 and PARP-2 proteins.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
