Novel Benzotriazole-β-lactam Derivatives as Antimalarial Agents: Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Studies. Chem Biodivers 2024; 21:e202301745.

Abstract
Many people around the world suffer from malaria, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. While malaria medications have shown success in treating malaria, there is still a problem with resistance to these drugs. Herein, we designed and synthesized some structurally novel benzotriazole-β-lactams using 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetic acid as a key intermediate. To synthesize the target molecules, the ketene-imine cycloaddition reaction was employed. First, The reaction of 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole with 2-bromoacetic acid in aqueous sodium hydroxide yielded 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetic acid. Then, the treatment of 2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)acetic acid with tosyl chloride, triethyl amine, and Schiff base provided new β-lactams in good to moderate yields.The formation of all cycloadducts was confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR and mass spectral data. Moreover, X-ray crystallography was used to determine the relative stereochemistry of 4a compound. The in vitro antimalarial activity test was conducted for each compound against P. falciparum K1. The IC50 values ranged from 5.56 to 25.65 μM. A cytotoxicity profile of the compounds at 200 μM final concentration revealed suitable selectivity of the compounds for malaria treatment. Furthermore, the docking study was carried out for each compound into the P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase enzyme (PfDHFR) binding site to analyze their possible binding orientation in the active site.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Fluorinated Imines. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27144557. [PMID: 35889430 PMCID: PMC9323187 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27144557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
A number of imines, including 12 new compounds, previously not reported in the literature, derived from variously fluorinated benzaldehydes and different anilines or chiral benzylamines were synthesized by a solvent-free mechanochemical method, which was based on the manual grinding of equimolar amounts of the substrates at the room temperature. In a very short reaction time of only 15 min, the method produced the expected products with good-to-excellent yields. The yields were comparable or significantly higher than those reported in the literature for the imines synthesized by other methods. Importantly, the conditions used for the reactions with aniline derivatives also resulted in the high yields of imines obtained from chiral benzylamines, and can be extended to the synthesis with other similar amines. Structures of all imines were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy: 1H, 13C and 19F. For four compounds, X-ray structures were also obtained. The synthetic approach presented in this paper contributes to the prevention of environmental pollution and can be easily extended for larger-scale syntheses. The mechanochemical solvent-free method provides a convenient strategy particularly useful for the preparation of fluorinated imines being versatile intermediates or starting material in the synthesis of drugs and other fine chemicals.

Shiri P. Novel Hybrid Molecules Based on triazole-β-lactam as Potential Biological Agents. Mini Rev Med Chem 2021; 21:536-553. [PMID: 33109046 DOI: 10.2174/1389557520666201027160436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Triazole ring is a cyclic scaffold containing three heteroatoms of nitrogen. They display a broad variety of biological activities. The uncatalyzed/catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions are a chemical reaction between a 1,3-dipole and a dipolarophile to achieve 1,2,3-triazoles. The hybrid approach is an innovative and powerful synthetic tool for the synthesis of two or more distinct entities in one molecule with novel biological activities. Owing to the high potential of β-lactams to display noticeable biological properties, these compounds have been one of the important ingredients in hybrid molecules. The four-membered lactams have been recognized as a part of penicillin. There are various synthetic protocols for the synthesis of β-lactams. Staudinger reaction of the Schiff bases with diphenylketenes is a successful and famous strategy for the synthesis of these products. Even though, the number of heterocyclic compounds is limited, plenty of hybrids based on heterocyclic compounds can be designed and prepared. The synthesis of hybrid products of triazole-β-lactam has proved to be highly challenging. The current review article outlines the diversity and creativity in the elegant synthesis of triazole-β-lactam hybrids as potential biological agents. Molecules including isatin, ferrocene, bile acid, chalcone, and etc were attached to β-lactam with triazole linker, as well.

Abstract
Antibiotics are commonly used to fight against bacterial infections, but bacteria have already been resistant to almost all antibiotics due to abuse of antibiotics. 1,2,4-Triazole derived compounds possess chemotherapeutic effects including potential antibacterial activities against drug-sensitive as well as drug-resistant pathogens. Hybridization displays a high potential to develop novel drugs with the capacity to overcome drug resistance, reduce toxicity and improve pharmacokinetic profiles. More effective antibacterial candidates might be obtained by the hybridization of 1,2,4-triazole with other antibacterial pharmacophores. This review summarizes the recent advances of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives as potential antibacterial compounds, and the structure-activity relationship is also discussed.
