Abstract
The present study aims to investigate about the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of a series of Thiazole derivatives reported as anticancer agents (hepatocellular carcinoma), using principally the electronic descriptors calculated by the DFT method and by applying the multiple linear regression method. The developed model showed good statistical parameters (R2 = 0.725, R2adj = 0.653, MSE = 0.060, R2test = 0.827, Q2cv = 0.536). The energy EHOMO orbital, electronic energy (TE), shape coefficient (I), number of rotatable bonds (NROT), and index of refraction (n) were revealed to be the main descriptors influencing the anti-cancer activity. Further, new Thiazole derivatives have been designed and their activities and pharmacokinetic properties have been predicted using the validated QSAR model. The designed molecules were then assessed to molecular docking (MD), and molecular dynamic (MDs) simulation accompanied by the calculation of the binding affinity using MMPBSA script according to 100 ns a simulation trajectory, to study both their affinity and their stability towards CDK2 as a target protein for the cancer disease treatment. This research concluded with the identification of four new CDK2 inhibitors which are A1, A3, A5, and A6 showing good pharmacokinetic properties. The MDs results revealed that the newly designed compound A5 remained stable in the active center of the discovered CDK2 protein, indicating its potential as a novel inhibitor for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. The current findings may eventually contribute to the development of robust CDK2 inhibitors in the future.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
This review is focused on the synthetic strategies to heterocyclic C-nucleosides and covers the literature from 2011 to 2021. The main attention is paid to the following three approaches: the direct C-C coupling of a carbohydrate moiety with a preformed aglycon unit, the construction of a (pseudo)sugar residue on a pre-formed aglycon, and the construction of an aglycon on a pre-formed (pseudo)sugar. In each Section, the literature data are categorized in terms of the size of aglycon from simple to complex, the advantages and drawbacks of the reviewed approaches are discussed.

[PMID: 29857484 PMCID: PMC6100633 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23061318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2018] [Revised: 05/28/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
In an attempt to develop potent anticancer agents targeting Akt, new thiazole derivatives (1⁻10) were synthesized and investigated for their cytotoxic effects on A549 human lung adenocarcinoma, C6 rat glioma, and NIH/3T3 (healthy) mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines. The most potent compounds were also investigated for their effects on apoptosis and Akt pathway. The most promising anticancer agent was found to be 2-[2-((4-(4-cyanophenoxy)phenyl)methylene)hydrazinyl]-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (6), due to its selective inhibitory effects on A549 and C6 cells with IC50 values of 12.0 ± 1.73 µg/mL and 3.83 ± 0.76 µg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, compound 6 increased early and late apoptotic cell population (32.8%) in C6 cell line more than cisplatin (28.8%) and significantly inhibited the Akt enzyme. The molecular docking study was performed to predict the possible binding modes of compounds A, 6, and 8 inside the active site of Akt (PDB code: 4EJN). Molecular docking simulations were found to be in accordance with in vitro studies and, hence, supported the biological activity. A computational study for the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties of all compounds was also performed. On the basis of Lipinski's rule of five, the compounds were expected to be potential orally bioavailable agents.

Abstract
New bis-thiazole derivatives (1-10) were synthesized via the ring closure of 1,1'-(3,3'-dimethoxybiphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(thiourea) with phenacyl bromides and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on A549 human lung adenocarcinoma, C6 rat glioma, 5RP7 H-ras oncogene transformed rat embryonic fibroblast and NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines using MTT assay. DNA synthesis inhibitory effects of these compounds were investigated. Each derivative was also evaluated for its ability to inhibit AChE and BuChE using a modification of Ellman's spectrophotometric method. Among these compounds, 3,3'-dimethoxy-N(4),N(4)'-bis(4-(4-bromophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (5) can be identified as the most promising anticancer agent due to its notable inhibitory effects on A549 and C6 cell lines and low toxicity to NIH/3T3 cell lines. Compound 5 exhibited anticancer activity against A549 and C6 cell lines with IC50 values of 37.3 ± 6.8 μg/mL and 11.3 ± 1.2 μg/mL, whereas mitoxantrone showed anticancer activity against A549 and C6 cell lines with IC50 values of 15.7 ± 4.0 μg/mL and 11.0 ± 1.7 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, compound 5 showed DNA synthesis inhibitory activity against A549 cell line.

Abstract
New series of hydrazones 5–18 were synthesized, in good yields, by reacting 4-methyl-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiazole-5-carbohydrazide with differently substituted benzaldehyde. The resulting compounds were characterized via elemental analysis, physico-chemical and spectral data. An antimicrobial screening was done, using Gram (+), Gram (−) bacteria and one fungal strain. Tested molecules displayed moderate-to-good growth inhibition activity. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazide assay was used to test the antioxidant properties of the compounds. Monohydroxy (14–16), para-fluorine (13) and 2,4-dichlorine (17) derivatives exhibited better free-radical scavenging ability than the other investigated molecules.
