Moharram EA, El-Sayed SM, Ghabbour HA, El-Subbagh HI. Synthesis, molecular modeling simulations and anticancer activity of some new Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole analogues as EGFR/HER2 and DHFR inhibitors. Bioorg Chem 2024; 150:107538. [PMID: 38861913 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107538] [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: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
New imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole analogs were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as anticancer agents. In vitro biological evaluation of the anticancer properties of the compounds was performed against different cancer cell lines. Compounds 23 and 39 showed remarkable broad -spectrum cytotoxic potency on most of the tested cell lines. Compounds 23 and 39 exhibited potent activity against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, with IC50 values of 1.81 and 4.95 μM, respectively, compared to DOX and SOR (IC50 values of 4.17 and 7.26 μM, respectively). An enzyme inhibition assay was carried out to clarify the possible mode of action of the tested compounds. Compounds 23 and 39 were identified as possible EGFR, HER-2, and DHFR inhibitors. Cell cycle arrest results indicated that compound 23 caused cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in the MCF-7 cells and at the G2/M phase in the Hep G2 cells. Compound 39 induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in Hela cells. In vivo testing of the anticancer activity of the two most promising molecules in this study was conducted, and the results indicated that they possess considerable in vivo anticancer activity in mice. Data obtained from the molecular modeling simulation study were consistent with the biological evaluation results.

Abstract
Nitrogen-fused heterocycles are of immense importance in modern drug discovery and development. Among them, imidazopyrimidine is a highly versatile scaffold with vast pharmacological utility. These compounds demonstrate a broad spectrum of pharmacological actions, including antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer. Their adaptable structure allows for extensive structural modifications, which can be utilized for optimizing pharmacological effects via structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Additionally, imidazopyrimidine derivatives are particularly noteworthy for their ability to target specific molecular entities, such as protein kinases, which are crucial components of various cellular signaling pathways associated with multiple diseases. Despite the evident importance of imidazopyrimidines in drug discovery, there is a notable lack of a comprehensive review that outlines their role in this field. This review highlights the ongoing interest and investment in exploring the therapeutic potential of imidazopyrimidine compounds, underscoring their pivotal role in shaping the future of drug discovery and clinical medicine.

Abstract
Sulfur-containing heterocyclic derivatives have been disclosed for binding with a wide range of cancer-specific protein targets. Various interesting derivatives of sulfur-containing heterocyclics such as benzothiazole, thiazole, thiophene, thiazolidinedione, benzothiophene, and phenothiazine, etc have been shown to inhibit diverse signaling pathways implicated in cancer. Significant progress has also been made in molecular targeted therapy against specific enzymes such as kinase receptors due to potential binding interactions inside the ATP pocket. Sulfur-containing heterocyclic ring metal complexes i. e., benzothiazole, thiazole, thiophene, benzothiophene and phenothiazines are among the most promising active anticancer compounds. However, sulfur heteroaromatic rings, particularly thiophene, are of high structural alert due to their metabolism to reactive metabolites. The mere presence of a structural alert itself does not determine compound toxicity therefore, this review focuses on some specific findings that shed light on factors influencing the toxicity. In the current review, synthetic strategies of introducing the sulfur core ring in the synthesized derivatives are discussed with their structure-activity relationships to enhance our understanding of toxicity mechanisms and develop safer therapeutic options. The sulfur-containing marketed anticancer drugs included in this review direct the synthesis of novel compounds and will help in the development of potent, safer sulfur-based anticancer drugs in near future.

Abstract
One of the leading causes of mortality in the world is cancer. This disease occurs when responsible genes that regulate the cell cycle become inactive due to internal or external factors. Specifically, the G1/S and S/G2 transitions in the cell cycle are controlled by a protein called cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). CDKs, which play a crucial role in managing the cell cycle, have been a wide area of research in cancer treatment. Over the past 11 years, significant research has been made in identifying potent, targeted, and efficient inhibitors of CDK2. In this summary, we have summarized recent developments in the synthesis and biological evaluation of CDK2 inhibitors.

[PMID: 37769524 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
New series of substituted 2-alkoxycyanopyridine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities. Comparing the evaluated activities against cancer cell lines to the broad-spectrum anticancer doxorubicin, and the kinase inhibitor sorafenib, compounds 3a, 4b, 4c, 7a, and 8d demonstrated superior anticancer efficacy with elevated safety profiles and selectivity indices, particularly against MCF7 breast cancer. For exploration of their mechanism of action, assays for inhibition of EGFR, HER2 kinase, and DHFR were performed. The promising synthesized compounds exhibited potent dual kinase EGFR/HER2 inhibitory activity with IC50values of 0.248/0.156 μM for 4b and 0.138/0.092 μM for 4c. Additionally, with IC50 values of 0.138 and 0.193 M, respectively, 4b and 4c had the greatest DHFR inhibitory activity that was comparable to methotrexate. In the MCF7 breast cancer cell line, they caused arrest at the S phase of the cell cycle and exhibited apoptosis induction activity. With restored caspase-3 immunoexpression, the anti-breast cancer assay performed in vivo of 4b and 4c demonstrated a substantial decrease in tumor volume. Results from molecular modeling were in agreement with biological assays proving the importance of the 3-caynopyridine, two substituted phenyl rings attached to central pyridine ring, and propoxy side chain moieties for binding with the receptors. As 4c works by inhibiting both EGFR/HER2 kinase, DHFR enzymes, in addition to cellular apoptosis, it could be viewed as a model of compounds possessing a multi-targeting anticancer activity. Collectively, compounds 4b and 4c might represent prototypes for further development as anticancer molecules.

Abstract
Considering the fundamental role of protein kinases in the mechanism of protein phosphorylation in critical cellular processes, their dysregulation, especially in cancers, has underscored their therapeutic relevance. Imidazopyridines represent versatile scaffolds found in abundant bioactive compounds. Given their structural features, imidazopyridines have possessed pivotal potency to interact with different protein kinases, inspiring researchers to carry out numerous structural variations. In this comprehensive review, we encompass an extensive survey of the design and biological evaluations of imidazopyridine-based small molecules as potential agents targeting diverse kinases for anticancer applications. We describe the structural elements critical to inhibitory potency, elucidating their key structure-activity relationships (SAR) and mode of actions, where available. We classify these compounds into two groups: Serine/threonine and Tyrosine inhibitors. By highlighting the promising role of imidazopyridines in kinase inhibition, we aim to facilitate the design and development of more effective, targeted compounds for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The three-membered ring in 2-(2-pyridyl)azirine-2-carboxylic esters and thioesters can undergo selective cleavage of either the N-C2 bond under copper(II) catalysis or the C-C bond under the action of HCl to provide isomeric azirine ring expansion products of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine or imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine series, respectively. Mild catalytic reaction conditions for the formation of pyrazolopyridines make it possible to obtain them directly from 4-bromoisoxazoles by a one-pot, three-stage procedure without isolating the intermediate 2-bromoazirines and 2-(2-pyridyl)azirines.

Abstract
In the present work, a new series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine Schiff base derivatives have been obtained using an easy and conventional synthetic route. The synthesized compounds were spectroscopically characterized using 1H, 13C NMR, LC-MS(ESI), and FT-IR techniques. Green metric calculations indicate adherence to several green chemistry principles. The energy of Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMO), Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP), Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM), and Reduced Density Gradient (RDG) were determined by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method at B3LYP/6-31 G (d, p) as the basis set. Moreover, molecular docking studies targeting the human ACE2 and the spike, key entrance proteins of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 were carried out along with hACE2 natural ligand Angiotensin II, the MLN-4760 inhibitor as well as the Cannabidiolic Acid CBDA which has been demonstrated to bind to the spike protein and block cell entry. The molecular modeling results showed auspicious results in terms of binding affinity as the top-scoring compound exhibited a remarkable affinity (-9.1 and -7.3 kcal/mol) to the ACE2 and spike protein respectively compared to CBDA (-5.7 kcal/mol), the MLN-4760 inhibitor (-7.3 kcal/mol), and angiotensin II (-9.2 kcal/mol). These findings suggest that the synthesized compounds may potentially act as effective entrance inhibitors, preventing the SARS-CoV-2 infection of human cells. Furthermore, in silico, ADMET, and drug-likeness prediction expressed promising drug-like characteristics.

Abstract
Background: Due to the close relationship of diabetes with hypertension reported in various research, a set of pyridine derivatives with US FDA-approved drug cores were designed and integrated by artificial intelligence. Methods: Novel pyridines were designed and synthesized. Compounds MNS-1-MNS-4 were evaluated for their structure and were screened for their in vitro antidiabetic (α-amylase) activity and anticancer (HepG2) activity by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. Comparative 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis and pharmacophore generation were carried out. Results: The study revealed MNS-1 and MNS-4 as good alternatives to acarbose as antidiabetic agents, and MNS-2 as a more viable, better alternative to doxorubicin in the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. Conclusion: This combination of studies identifies new and more active analogs of existing FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Tyrosine protein kinases (TKs) have been proved to play substantial roles on many cellular processes and their overexpression tend to be found in various types of cancers. Therefore, over recent decades, numerous tyrosine protein kinase inhibitors particularly epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors have been introduced to treat cancer. Present study describes a novel series of imidazo[1,2-a]quinazolines 18 as potential -inhibitors. These imidazoquinazolines (18a and 18o, in particular) had great anti-proliferative activities with IC50 values in the micromolar (µM) range against PC3, HepG2, HeLa, and MDA-MB-231 comparing with Erlotinib as reference marketed drug. Further evaluations on some derivatives revealed their potential to induce apoptotic cell death and cell growth arrest at G0 phase of the cell cycle. Afterwards, the kinase assay on the most potent compounds 18a and 18o demonstrated their inhibitory potencies and selectivity toward EGFR (with EGFR-IC50 values of 82.0 µM and 12.3 µM, respectively). Additionally, western blot analysis on these compounds 18a and 18o exhibited that they inhibited the phosphorylation of EGFR and its downstream molecule extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2). However, the level of B-Actin phosphorylation was not changed. Finally, density functional theory calculations, docking study, and independent gradient model (IGM) were performed to illustrate the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and to assess the interactions between proteins and ligands. The results of molecular docking studies had great agreement with the obtained EGFR inhibitory results through in vitro evaluations.

Abstract
Different classes of Imidazopyridine i.e., Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, Imidazo[1,5-a] pyridine, Imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, have shown versatile applications in various fields. In this review, we have concisely presented the usefulness of the fluorescent property of imidazopyridine in different fields such as imaging tools, optoelectronics, metal ion detection, etc. Fluorescence mechanisms such as excited state intramolecular proton transfer, photoinduced electron transfer, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, intramolecular charge transfer, etc. are incorporated in the designed fluorophore to make it for fluorescent applications. It has been widely employed for metal ion detection, where selective metal ion detection is possible with triazole-attached imidazopyridine, β-carboline imidazopyridine hybrid, quinoline conjugated imidazopyridine, and many more. Also, other popular applications involve organic light emitting diodes and cell imaging. This review shed a light on recent development in this area especially focusing on the optical properties of the molecules with their usage which would be helpful in designing application-based new imidazopyridine derivatives.

Abstract
Chalcones are a class of privileged scaffolds with high medicinal significance due to the presence of an α,β-unsaturated ketone functionality. Numerous functional modifications of chalcones have been reported, along with their pharmacological behavior. The present review aims to summarize the structures from natural sources, synthesis methods, biological characteristics against infectious and non-infectious diseases, and uses of chalcones over the past decade, and their structure–activity relationship studies are detailed in depth. This critical review provides guidelines for the future design and synthesis of various chalcones. In addition, this could be highly supportive for medicinal chemists to develop more promising candidates for various infectious and non-infectious diseases.

Abstract
Clinical infections arise from multidrug-resistant bacteria and pose a serious threat to human and global public health. Moreover, due to very few antibiotics being discovered, there is an urgent need to develop new antibacterial agents to combat antimicrobial resistance challenges. In this study, a series of new chalcone derivatives bearing a 3′-hydroxyisoprenyl moiety were prepared to employ Claisen–Schmidt condensation as a key step by combinatorial chemistry, and overall yields of these novel derivatives are in the range of 28–68% in the two-step reaction. Sanjuanolide and the synthesized derivatives have been investigated for their expected antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus CMCC 26003) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli CMCC 44102). Among these compounds, only 4c (MIC = 12.5 μg/ml) and 4d (MIC = 25 μg/ml) exhibited antibacterial activity comparable to sanjuanolide (MIC = 12.5 μg/ml, against S. aureus CMCC 26003), and the results of subsequent in vivo experiments on sanjuanolide suggest that sanjuanolide exhibits bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects by altering the cellular structure, disrupting the integrity of cell membranes, and reducing the outer membrane potential.

Abstract
Herein, we report a metal-free one-pot three-component reaction of aryl methyl ketones, 2-aminopyridines, and barbituric acids for the synthesis of pyrimidine-linked imidazopyridines using a catalytic amount of molecular iodine in DMSO medium. This process involves a one-pot C-H oxidation, followed by the formation of one C-C and two C-N bonds. A wide variety of aryl methyl ketones and 2-aminopyridines were found to be suitable for this methodology. The UV and fluorescence properties of the synthesized products were studied in water and DMSO media. Most of the synthesized products exhibited very good to excellent fluorescence quantum yield. Among all the products, compounds 4p and 4q showed the maximum fluorescence quantum yield (0.36) in water medium under basic conditions and compound 4c showed the maximum fluorescence quantum yield (0.75) in DMSO medium.

Synthesis, Anticancer Assessment, and Molecular Docking of Novel Chalcone-Thienopyrimidine Derivatives in HepG2 and MCF-7 Cell Lines. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2021:4759821.

Abstract
Heterocycles containing thienopyrimidine moieties have attracted attention due to their interesting biological and pharmacological activities. In this research article, we reported the synthesis of a series of new hybrid molecules through merging the structural features of chalcones and pyridothienopyrimidinones. Our results indicated that the synthesis of chalcone-thienopyrimidine derivatives from the corresponding thienopyrimidine and chalcones proceeded in a relatively short reaction time with good yields and high purity. Most of these novel compounds exhibited moderate to robust cytotoxicity against HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cells similar to that of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The results indicated that IC50 of the two compounds (3b and 3g) showed more potent anticancer activities against HepG2 and MCF-7 than 5-FU. An MTT assay and flow cytometry showed that only 3b and 3g had anticancer activity and antiproliferative activities at the G1 phase against MCF-7 cells, while six compounds (3a-e and 3g) had cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest at different phases against HepG2 cells. Their cytotoxicity was achieved through downregulation of Bcl-2 and upregulation of Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9. Although all tested compounds increased oxidative stress via increment of MDA levels and decrement of glutathione reductase (GR) activities compared to control, the 3a, 3b, and 3g in HepG2 and 3b and 3g in MCF-7 achieved the target results. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between cytotoxic efficacy of the compound and apoptosis in both HepG2 (R 2 = 0.531; P = 0.001) and MCF-7 (R 2 = 0.219; P = 0.349) cell lines. The results of molecular docking analysis of 3a-g into the binding groove of Bcl-2 revealed relatively moderate binding free energies compared to the selective Bcl-2 inhibitor, DRO. Like venetoclax, compounds 3a-g showed 2 violations from Lipinski's rule. However, the results of the ADME study also revealed higher drug-likeness scores for compounds 3a-g than for venetoclax. In conclusion, the tested newly synthesized chalcone-pyridothienopyrimidinone derivatives showed promising antiproliferative and apoptotic effects. Mechanistically, the compounds increased ROS production with concomitant cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Therefore, regulation of the cell cycle and apoptosis are possible targets for anticancer therapy. The tested compounds could be potent anticancer agents to be tested in future clinical trials after extensive pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity profile investigations.

Abstract
Discovery of novel and potent lead molecules for the specific therapeutic targets by de novo drug design is still in infancy. Here, we disclose the unprecedented development of imidazopyri(mi)dine-based tumor pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) modulators by subsequent link and grow strategy. The most potent modulator 15n acts as a PKM2 activator with an AC50 of 90 nM, with considerable cancer cell-selectivity and membrane-permeability. NMR metabolomics studies also revealed that treatment with 15n results in diminution in lactate concentrations in MCF-7 cells. 15n binds to a previously reported site at PKM2 adjacent to the interface of two monomers. In molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies, it was observed that 15n stabilizes the PKM2 at the dimeric interface, assisting in the formation of a biologically active tetramer conformation. 15n was also screened on MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines grown on 3-D scaffolds, and the results exhibited better anticancer potential compared to control, paving the way for future clinical studies.

Abstract
Synthesis of 5-aryl-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamides (4a–4n) by a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of 5-bromo-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (3) with various aryl/heteroaryl boronic acids/pinacol esters was observed in this article. The intermediate compound 3 was prepared by condensation of pyrazin-2-amine (1) with 5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (2) mediated by TiCl4. The target pyrazine analogs (4a–4n) were confirmed by NMR and mass spectrometry. In DFT calculation of target molecules, several reactivity parameters like FMOs (EHOMO, ELUMO), HOMO–LUMO energy gap, electron affinity (A), ionization energy (I), electrophilicity index (ω), chemical softness (σ) and chemical hardness (η) were considered and discussed. Effect of various substituents was observed on values of the HOMO–LUMO energy gap and hyperpolarizability. The p-electronic delocalization extended over pyrazine, benzene and thiophene was examined in studying the NLO behavior. The chemical shifts of 1H NMR of all the synthesized compounds 4a–4n were calculated and compared with the experimental values.

Abstract
A novel one-pot protocol for the convenient and efficient synthesis of (2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)alkane-1,2-diones (3) in good yields (32-88%) from 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines (1) and terminal alkynes (2) has been established with a wide range of substrate scope. A tandem reaction sequence containing gold-catalyzed double oxidations of terminal alkynes to generate glyoxals, nucleophilic addition of 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines to glyoxals to yield α-hydroxyl ketones, and oxygenation of the α-hydroxyl ketones to afford the final products 3 under air atmosphere is involved in this method. Simple operation, mild reaction conditions, and widely available substrates make this strategy more affordable.

Abstract
This paper manifests an A3-coupling strategy assisted by novel hydromagnesite sheets impregnated with cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4-HMS) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as an environmentally benign nanocomposite to synthesize imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds under ultrasonication. The synthesis of these biologically active derivatives was achieved through A3-coupling employing 2-aminopyridines derivatives, pertinent aryl aldehydes, and phenylacetylene in the presence of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) as a green solvent under aerobic conditions. Based on its high product yield (up to 94%) in a short reaction time, with a modest catalyst loading, excellent catalyst, and solvent recyclability without substantial loss of operation (up to five synthetic cycles), as demonstrated by the high ecological compatibility and sustainability factors, this strategy follows the principles of green chemistry. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized via several spectroanalytical techniques, including PXRD, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, EDAX, ICP-AES, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, CO2-TPD, TGA-DTA-DTG analyses, magnetic studies, and nitrogen porosimetry. Furthermore, the structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed based on FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis data. Sustainable synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds assisted by hydromagnesite sheets impregnated with cobalt–ferrite (CoFe2O4-HMS) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs).![]()

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vitamin D is very important for calcium and mineral metabolism, and many hypotheses appear to link sunlight exposure with cancer risk and prognosis. As many studies supported the antitumor effect of vitamin D we wanted to investigate the potential effect of multiple vitamin D metabolites. METHODS This study compared the anticancer effect of three inactive forms of vitamin D3 which are; cholecalciferol, alfacalcidol, and calcifediol on two human cancer cell lines colorectal cancer (CaCo II) and breast cancer (MCF-7). All were examined after 24, 48, and 72 h continuous exposure using a colorimetric assay (MTT) seeded in 96-multiwell plates. Doxorubicin anticancer used as a standard agent for comparison, while normal skin fibroblast cells (HDFa) was used as our negative control. IC50 values were calculated as indication of antitumor effect. RESULTS Broad-spectrum of cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 4 to 200 μM were found. Alfacalcidol was the most potent cytotoxic agents on colorectal cancer (CaCo II) and breast cancer (MCF-7) compared to cholecalciferol, and calcifediol. Both, alfacalcidol and calcifediol were more cytotoxic than cholecalciferol on the tested cell lines as they are partially active metabolites. Breast cancer (MCF-7) was the most sensitive to all metabolites at all-time intervals with the best IC50 values of 4.35 μM ± 1.06 after 72 h continuous exposure of alfacalcidol. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D metabolites are a potential option for cancer treatment along with or an alternative to chemo-therapeutics although extensive preclinical studies are required to prove this effect.

Abstract
In this study, two series of imidazopyridine-linked thiazolidinone rings (5a-h and 6a-h) constituting 16 new compounds were synthesized and tested for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of three human cancer cell lines, that is, MCF-7 (human breast cancer), A549 (human lung cancer), and DU145 (human prostate cancer). Three compounds, 5h, 6f, and 6h, exhibited remarkable results against all three cell lines, but compound 6h was found to be the most active one against the breast cancer cell line. Among all the synthesized compounds, 6h displayed the highest antioxidant results. Furthermore, the potent compounds 5h, 6f, and 6h showed no signs of toxicity at doses ranging from 50 to 500 mg/kg of animal body weight. The biochemical parameters (SGOT and SGPT) of compound 6h nearly matched the control in hepatotoxicity studies. The molecular docking and MM-GBSADG binding studies are in agreement with the in vitro anticancer and antioxidant activity results. The most promising compound 6h was found to have the highest docking score and binding energy, and its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) parameters are in the acceptable range. Thus, it can be concluded that 6h, an imidazopyridine derivative endowed with a thiazolidinone ring system, has the potential to be developed as an anticancer agent.

Abstract
Two series of forty five novel 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl) imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine analogues (IPA 1-22, IPS 1-22 and IP-NH) have been designed, synthesized and structures confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectrometry. Furthermore, single crystal was developed for IPS-13. All the final derived conjugates were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against a panel of diverse cancer cell lines viz., A549 (lung cancer), HeLa (cervical cancer), B16F10 (melanoma) and found to show potent anticancer activity on the tested cell lines. Many of them showed the IC50 values in the range 2.0-20.0 µM. The most active compounds (IPA 5,6,8,9,12,16,17,19 and IPS 7,8,9,22) from IPA and IPS series were screened to determine their cytotoxicity on HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney) normal cell line and were found to be nontoxic to normal human cells. The molecular interactions of the derivatised conjugates were also supported by molecular docking simulations. These derivatives may serve as lead structures for development of novel potential anticancer drug candidates.

Rational design, molecular docking and synthesis of novel homopiperazine linked imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives as potent cytotoxic and antimicrobial agents. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2019; 29:2248-2253. [PMID: 31239178 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2019.06.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2019] [Revised: 06/15/2019] [Accepted: 06/19/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Designed and synthesized novel homopiperazine linked imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives (10a-i, 11a-g, 12), and evaluated them for their in vitro cytotoxicity against HeLa cells (cervical cancer), A549 cells (lung cancer) cells, by MTT assay. Compound 12 (IC50 = 4.14 µM) and compound 10c (IC50 = 5.98 µM) were found to be 2.5 fold, and 1.74 fold more potent when compared with standard Etoposide (IC50 = 10.44 µM), against A549 (lung cancer cells). Compound 12 also found to be 1.57 and 1.13 fold potent against DU145 (IC50 = 6.24 µM) and HeLa (IC50 = 6.54 µM), respectively when compared with Etoposide (DU145, IC50 = 9.8 µM; HeLa, IC50 = 7.43 µM). Compound 10f (IC50 = 6.12 µM) was found to be 1.31 fold more potent than Etoposide (IC50 = 7.43 µM) against HeLa cell lines. Moreover compounds 10a and 11a showed cytotoxicity at low micro-molar concentrations against A549 cells. Synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their antimicrobial activity by Cup plate diffusion method. Compounds 10c, 11b, 11d and 11f displayed remarkable antimicrobial activity relating to their standard drugs Gentamycin, Amphotericin B and Ampicillin. Significantly, compound 10c showed broad spectrum activity against tested microbial strains. All the designed compounds were well occupied the binding site of the colchicine and interacted with both α- and β-tubuline interface (PDB ID: 3E22), which demonstrates that synthesized compounds are promising tubulin inhibitors. Also, the synthesized compounds occupied the catalytic triad and adenine-binding site, in the active site of β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III enzyme (PDB ID: 1MZS). The molecular docking results provided the useful information for the future design of more potent inhibitors. These preliminary results convinced further investigation and modifications on synthesized compounds aiming towards the development of potential cytotoxic as well as antimicrobial agents.
