SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 321:124757. [PMID: 38959688 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
With the developing resistance to traditional antiparasitic medications, the purpose of this study was to efficiently develop a series of six noble flavanoidal tetrazinane-6'-one derivatives by a one-pot reaction pathway. FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and Mass spectra were employed for the structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds (7-12). Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite infection model that has been well-established, demonstrated that all the synthesized compounds are potent antiparasitic agents. DNA is the main target for various medicinal compounds. As a result, thestudy of how small molecules attach to DNA has received a lot of attention. In the present study, we have performed various biophysical techniques to determine the mode of binding of synthesized compounds (7-12) with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA). It was observed from the UV-visible absorbance and fluorescence spectra that all synthesized compounds (7-12) form complexes with the ct-DNA. The value of binding constant (Kb) was obtained to be in the range of 4.36---24.50 × 103 M - 1 at 298 K. Competitive displacement assay with ethidium bromide (EB), CD spectral analysis, viscosity measurements, and in silico molecular docking confirmed that ligands (7-12) incorporate with ct-DNA through groove binding only. Molecular docking studies were performed for all synthesized compounds with the calf thymus DNA and it was found that all the newly synthesized compounds strongly bind with the chain B of DNA in the minor groove with the value of binding energy in the range of -8.54 to -9.04 kcal per mole and several hydrogen bonding interactions.

[PMID: 39100307 PMCID: PMC11292635 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02808] [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: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one) (DHEA) is a naturally occurring steroid hormone primarily produced in the zona reticularis of the human adrenal glands. It serves as a crucial precursor for sex hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol, and androstenedione. Recent findings indicate that DHEA serves as the primary source of sex steroids in women during both pre- and postmenopausal stages. Additionally, a decline in DHEA levels with age is linked to various hormone-deficiency symptoms. Despite the wide array of biological activities that make DHEA a valuable polycyclic natural steroid, particularly for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, reports suggest that oral DHEA has limited clinical effect. Thus, A- and D-ring modified DHEA are synthesized and their biological activities are carried out by different research groups and enhanced biological activity reported in the literature. Here, in this review, we have tried to cover all of the synthetic routes and biological studies of modified A- and D-ring DHEA from 2015 to mid-2022.

Abstract
Two series of novel steroidal[17,16-d]pyrimidines derived from natural epiandrosterone and androsterone were designed and synthesized, and these compounds were screened for their potential anticancer activities. The preliminary bioassay indicated that some of these prepared compounds exhibited significantly good cytotoxic activities against human gastric cancer (SGC-7901), lung cancer (A549), and hepatocellular liver carcinoma (HepG2) cell lines compared with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), epiandrosterone, and androsterone. Especially the respective pairs from epiandrosterone and androsterone showed significantly different inhibitory activities, and the possible configuration-activity relationships have also been summarized and discussed based on kinase assay and molecular docking, which indicated that the inhibition activities of these steroidal[17,16-d]pyrimidines might obviously be affected by the configuration of the hydroxyl group in the part of the steroidal scaffold.

Abstract
In this research, the four pyrimidine derivatives have been studied by using density functional
theory (DFT/B3LYP/6-31G*) in solvent water for the first time. After quantum-chemical calculations,
the title compounds have been synthesized. The electronic spectra of the new derivatives in
solvent water were performed by the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) method. The equilibrium geometry,
the HOMO and LUMO orbitals, MEP, excitation energies, natural charges, oscillator strengths for
the molecules have also been calculated. NBO analysis has been calculated in order to elucidate the intramolecular,
rehybridization and delocalization of electron density. These molecules have high antioxidant
potential due to the planarity and formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Antioxidant properties
of the title compounds have been investigated and discussed.

OXER1 and RACK1-associated pathway: a promising drug target for breast cancer progression. Oncogenesis 2020; 9:105.

Abstract
Recent data indicate that receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is a putative prognostic marker and drug target in breast cancer (BC). High RACK1 expression is negatively associated with overall survival, as it seems to promote BC progression. In tumors, RACK1 expression is controlled by a complex balance between glucocorticoids and androgens. Given the fact that androgens and androgenic derivatives can inhibit BC cell proliferation and migration, the role of androgen signaling in regulating RACK1 transcription in mammary tumors is of pivotal interest. Here, we provide evidence that nandrolone (19-nortosterone) inhibits BC cell proliferation and migration by antagonizing the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway, which eventually results in RACK1 downregulation. We also show that nandrolone impairs the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway and decreases RACK1 expression via binding to the membrane-bound receptor, oxoeicosanoid receptor 1 (OXER1). High levels of OXER1 are observed in several BC cell lines and correlate with RACK1 expression and poor prognosis. Our data provide evidence on the role played by the OXER1-dependent intracellular pathway in BC progression and shed light on the mechanisms underlying membrane-dependent androgen effects on RACK1 regulation. Besides the mechanistic relevance, the results of the study are of interest from a translational prospective. In fact, they identify a new and actionable pathway to be used for the design of innovative and rational therapeutic strategies in the context of the personalized treatment of BC. In addition, they draw attention on nandrolone-based compounds that lack hormonal activity as potential anti-tumor agents.

Abstract
The current study aims to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of B-norcholesteryl benzimidazole compounds in human ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3). Our experimental data indicates that the tested compounds can induce apoptosis in SKOV3 cells, block S-phase growth, and decrease mitochondrial membrane potential. Western blot results showed that B-norcholesteryl benzimidazole compounds (1 and 2) induced apoptosis in SKOV3 cells via activation of the mitochondrial signaling pathway. Following SKOV3 cells treatment with compounds 1 and 2, the cell metabolism was assessed using the UHPLC-QE-MS (Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Q Exactive Orbitrap- Mass Spectrometry) non-target metabolomics analysis method. The results showed 10 metabolic pathways that mediated the effects of compound 1, including arginine and proline metabolism; alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; histidine metabolism; D-glutamine and D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism; cysteine and methionine metabolism; aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; purine metabolism; Glutathione metabolism; D-Arginine and D-ornithine metabolism; and Nitrogen metabolism. From the perspective of metabolomics, compound 1 inhibits intracellular metabolism, protein synthesis, and slows down energy metabolism in SKOV3 cells. These changes result in the inhibition of proliferation and signal transduction, abrogate invasive and metastatic properties, and induce apoptosis, thus, exerting anti-tumor effects. Application of compound 2 altered activation of metabolic pathways in SKOV3 cells. The main metabolic pathways involved were glycerophospholipid metabolism; arginine and proline metabolism; purine metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and ether lipid metabolism. The metabolic pathway with the greatest impact and the deepest enrichment was the glycerophospholipid metabolism. In conclusion, compound 2 inhibits proliferation of SKOV3 cells by interfering with glycerate metabolism, which plays a major role in regulation of cell membrane structure and function. Additionally, compound 2 can inhibit the invasion and metastasis of SKOV3 cells and induce apoptosis via interfering with the metabolism of arginine and proline.

Abstract
A series of novel steroidal 5α,8α-endoperoxide derivatives bearing semicarbazone (7a–g) or thiosemicarbazone (7h–k) side chain were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities in four human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549) using the MTT assay in vitro. The results showed that compound 7j exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cells (IC50 = 3.52 μM), being more potent than ergosterol peroxide. Further cellular mechanism studies in HepG2 cells indicated that compound 7j triggered the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), which was associated with up-regulation of Bax, down-regulation of Bcl-2, activation levels of the caspase cascade, and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The above findings indicated that compound 7j may be used as a promising skeleton for antitumor agents with improved efficacy.

Abstract
A series of novel 5α, 8α-endoperoxide steroidal hybrid derivatives containing isatin or indole substituents on the C-17 side chain were synthesized and characterized. The preliminary anti-proliferative activity of the compounds against HepG2, MCF-7, HT-29 and HeLa cell lines were investigated. Compounds 7g and 7l displayed significant anti-proliferative activity in vitro against HepG2 and Hela cells, with IC50 values lower than 8 μM. Furthermore, the biological functions of 7g were examined by flow cytometry and colony analysis. The results showed that 7g could induce HepG2 cell apoptosis, inhibited cell cycle progression, and colony growth. The studies indicated that structural modification at C-17 position could be a promising launch point for design steroidal anticancer agents.

Abstract
The two different types of steroidal benzisoselenazolone hybrids were synthesized by incorporating benzisoselenazolone scaffold into dehydroepiandrosterone and B-norcholesterol. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds against some carcinoma cell lines were investigated. The results showed that some of these compounds have better inhibitory activity than abiraterone on the proliferation of tumor cells associated with human growth hormone, and have less cytotoxicity on normal human cells. In particular, the IC50 values of the compound 8a and 8f are 5.4 and 6.5 µmol/L against human ovarian carcinoma (SKOV3) cell line, and possess SI values of 13.9 and 10.5, respectively. The information obtained from the studies may be useful for the design of novel chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
The process of programmed cell death in higher eukaryotes (apoptosis), is generally characterized by distinct morphological characteristics and energy-dependent biochemical mechanisms. Apoptosis is considered as a vital component of various processes including normal cell turnover, proper development and functioning of the immune system, hormone-dependent atrophy, embryonic development and chemical-induced cell death. Apoptosis seems to play an important key role in the progression of several human diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and many types of cancer. Promotion of apoptosis may be a good approach for the prevention of cancer cell proliferation. In early studies, antitumor compounds have been found to induce the apoptotic process in tumor cells. On the other hand, several hydrazones were reported to have lower toxicity than hydrazides due to the blockage of -NH2 group. Therefore, the design of hydrazones that activate and promote apoptosis is an attractive strategy for the discovery and development of potential anticancer agents. The aim of this review is to provide a general overview of current knowledge and the connection between apoptosis and hydrazone. It is also the guide for the apoptotic activities of new hydrazone derivatives.

Abstract
Inspired by the significant bioactivity of ergosterol peroxide, we designed and synthesized four fluorescent coumarin and ergosterol peroxide conjugates 8a–d through the combination of ergosterol peroxide with 7-N,N-diethylamino coumarins fluorophore. The cytotoxicity of synthesized conjugates against three human cancer cells (HepG2, SK-Hep1, and MCF-7) was evaluated. The results of fluorescent imaging showed that the synthesized conjugates 8a–d localized and enriched mainly in mitochondria, leading to significantly enhanced cytotoxicity over ergosterol peroxide. Furthermore, the results of biological functions of 8d showed that it could suppress cell colony formation, invasion, and migration; induce G2/M phase arrest of HepG2 cells, and increase the intracellular ROS level.

Abstract
A new series of 4-azasteroidal-17-hydrazone derivatives have been synthesized from androstenedione. Their structures were characterized by analysis and spectroscopic data. The antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds against three cancer cells (human lung adenocarcinoma, human oesophageal cervical cancer, human gastric adenocarcinoma) and a normal cell line (human gastric mucosal) was investigated. The studies show that the compound bearing a naphthyl group displayed the same antiproliferative activity in vitro against tested cells as cis-platin did (a positive control). Most of the compounds show very weak toxicity towards normal human gastric mucosal cell line.

Abstract
Using pregnenolone as a starting material, some 3-substituted 17-[1',2',3']-selenadiazolylpregnenolone derivatives were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by IR, NMR and HRMS. The in vitro antitumor activity of the compounds was assayed against PC-3、SKOV3、T47D、MCF-7 and HEK293T cell lines. The results show that some compounds display selective antiproliferative activity against PC-3 and SKOV3 cells lines and are almost inactive to normal kidney epithelial cells (HEK293T). The IC50 value are much better than that of abiraterone (positive control).

Abstract
19-Nortestosterone C-17 epimers with prominent antiproliferative properties have been previously described. In our present study, five novel 17α-19-nortestosterones (3-7) were synthesized to increase their beneficial biological activities with no associated undesired hormonal effects. The compounds were screened by a viability assay against a panel of human adherent gynecological cancer cell lines. Three of the tested derivatives (3-5) exhibited a remarkable inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HeLa cells with IC50 values lower than that of our reference agent cisplatin (CIS). These three active agents also displayed considerable cancer selectivity as evidenced by their weaker growth inhibitory effect on non-cancerous fibroblast cells compared to CIS. The most potent newly synthesized 17α-chloro derivative (3) was selected for additional experiments in order to characterize its mechanism of action. Since nandrolone (19-nortestosterone, 1) is a structural analog with selective antiproliferative action on cervical carcinoma cells, it was utilized as a positive control in these studies. A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay demonstrated a moderate cytotoxic effect of the test compounds. Cell cycle disturbance and the elevation of the hypodiploid population elicited by the test agents were detected by flow cytometry following propidium staining. The proapoptotic effects of the tested steroids were confirmed by fluorescent microscopy and a caspase-3 activity assay. Treatment-related caspase-9 activation without a substantial change in caspase-8 activity indicates the induction of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. The selected agents directly influence the rate of tubulin assembly as evidenced by a polymerization assay. Yeast-based reporter gene assay revealed that the androgenic activity of the novel 19-nortestosterone derivative 3 is by multiple orders of magnitude weaker than that of the reference agent 1. Based on the behavior of the examined compounds it can be concluded that a halogen substitution of the 19-nortestosterone scaffold at the 17α position may produce compounds with unique biological activities. The results of the present study support that structurally modified steroids with negligible hormonal activity are a promising basis for the research and development of novel anticancer agents.

Abstract
Novel deoxycholic acid (DCA) derivatives were stereoselectively synthesised with -OH and -CH2SR moieties at the C-3 position, where R was a substituted aryl [2-aminophenyl (8) or 4-chlorophenyl (9)] or hetaryl [1-methylimidazolyl (5), 1,2,4-triazolyl (6), 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazolyl (7), pyridinyl (10) or pyrimidinyl (11)]. These compounds were prepared in good yields from the C-3β-epoxy derivative 2 in the epoxide ring-opening reaction by S-nucleophiles. These derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro anti-proliferation activity in a panel of tumor cell lines. Data showed that: (i) heterocycle-containing derivatives displayed higher cytotoxicity profiles than the parent molecule; (ii) heterocyclic substituents were more preferable than aryl moieties for enhancing anti-proliferation activity; (iii) the sensitivity of tumor cell lines to analysed compounds decreased in the following order: HuTu-80 (duodenal carcinoma)>KB-3-1 (cervical carcinoma)>HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma)>MH-22a (hepatoma); (iv) compounds 5, 6 and 11 exhibited a high cytotoxic selectivity index (HuTu-80: SI>7.7, 38.5 and 12.0, respectively). Compounds 2 and 6-8 markedly inhibited NO synthesis by interferon γ-induced macrophages. Screening for anti-inflammatory activity of these derivatives in vivo showed their high potency on histamine- (5, 10) and formalin- (2, 10, 11) induced paw edema models.
