Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cancer is predicted to be the sixth most diagnosed cancer globally and fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. In this study, a series of indole-3-isoxazole-5-carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activities. The chemical structures of these of final compounds and intermediates were characterized by using IR, HRMS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and element analysis. RESULTS The cytotoxic activity was performed against Huh7, MCF7 and HCT116 cancer cell lines using sulforhodamine B assay. Some compounds showed potent anticancer activities and three of them were chosen for further evaluation on liver cancer cell lines based on SRB assay and real-time cell growth tracking analysis. Compounds were shown to cause arrest in the G0/G1 phase in Huh7 cells and caused a significant decrease in CDK4 levels. A good correlation was obtained between the theoretical predictions of bioavailability using Molinspiration calculation, Lipinski's rule of five, and experimental verification. These investigations reveal that indole-isoxazole hybrid system have the potential for the development of novel anticancer agents. CONCLUSIONS This study has provided data that will form the basis of further studies that aim to optimize both the design and synthesis of novel compounds that have higher anticancer activities.

Synthesis of substituted N-(2'-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamides towards the design of proline-rich antimicrobial peptide mimics to eliminate bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Bioorg Chem 2020; 105:104340. [PMID: 33096308 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.104340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The treatment of diseases is under threat due to the increasing resistance of disease-causing bacteria to antibiotics. Likewise, free radical-induced oxidative stress has been implicated in several human disease conditions, such as cancer, stroke and diabetes. In the search for amino acid analogues with antibacterial and antioxidant properties as possible mimics of antimicrobial peptides, substituted N-(2'-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamides 4a-4k and N-(2'-nitrophenyl)piperidine-2-carboxamides 4l-4n have been synthesized via a two-step, one-pot amidation of the corresponding acids, using thionyl chloride with different amines in dichloromethane. The carboxamides were characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Carboxamides 4a-4n were assayed against five Gram-positive and five Gram-negative bacterial strains using the broth micro-dilution procedure and compared to standard antibiotic drugs (streptomycin and nalidixic acid). 4b showed the highest antibacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 15.6 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus. Pertinently, 4b and 4k are promising candidates for narrow-spectrum (Gram-positive) and broad-spectrum antibiotics, respectively. The antioxidant properties of the carboxamides were also evaluated using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation. 4a and 4k recorded the lowest IC50 values of 1.22 × 10-3 mg/mL (with DPPH) and 1.45 × 10-4 mg/mL (with ABTS), respectively. Notably, 4k recorded about 2.5 times better antioxidant capacity than the positive controls - ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxyanisole. These results bode well for N-aryl carboxamides as good mimics and substitutes for antimicrobial peptides towards mitigating bacterial resistance to antibiotics as well as ameliorating oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Prolinamides are present in secondary metabolites and have wide-ranging biological properties as well as antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. N-(4'-substituted phenyl)-l-prolinamides 4a-4w were synthesized in two steps, starting from the condensation of p-fluoronitrobenzene 1a-1b with l-proline 2a-2b, under aqueous-alcoholic basic conditions to afford N-aryl-l-prolines 3a-3c, which underwent amidation via a two-stage, one-pot reaction involving SOCl2 and amines, to furnish l-prolinamides in 20-80% yield. The cytotoxicities of 4a-4w against four human carcinoma cell lines (SGC7901, HCT-116, HepG2 and A549) were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay; with good tumour inhibitory activities (79.50 ± 1.24%-50.04 ± 1.45%) against HepG2. 4a exhibited the best anti-tumour activity against A549 with percentage cell inhibition of 95.41 ± 0.67% at 100 µM. Likewise, 4s (70.13 ± 3.41%) and 4u (83.36 ± 1.70%) displayed stronger antineoplastic potencies against A549 than the standard, 5-fluorouracil (64.29 ± 2.09%), whereas 4a (93.33 ± 1.36%) and 4u (81.29 ± 2.32%) outperformed the reference (81.20 ± 0.08%) against HCT-116. SGC7901 showed lower percentage cell viabilities with 4u (8.02 ± 1.54%) and 4w (27.27 ± 2.38%). These results underscore the antiproliferative efficacies of l-prolinamides while exposing 4a and 4u as promising broad-spectrum anti-cancer agents. Structure-activity relationship studies are discussed.

Abstract
An expeditious click-click cyclize strategy for the assembly of medium-sized heterocyclic rings is described. The sequence involves the reaction of cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acids with unsaturated amines to furnish amides, which are further subjected to a Cu-catalyzed directed carbomagnesiation and a ring-closing olefin metathesis reaction. This methodology allows for the efficient preparation of lactams with ring sizes up to 10.

Abstract
Copper-catalyzed, directed addition of Grignard reagents across the strained C═C bond of cyclopropene-3-carboxamides was developed. It was demonstrated that the amide functionality serves as an ultimate directing group allowing for highly efficient control of diastereoselectivity of addition including stereoselectivity of electrophilic trapping with prochiral aldehydes. Also, regioselectivity of carbomagnesiation of cyclopropenes with a monosubstituted double bond is investigated. It was shown that in many cases this selectivity is controlled by steric factors and allows for preparation of products with a "reversed" regiochemistry.

Abstract
A strain-release-driven, cation-templated intramolecular nucleophilic addition of tethered alkoxides to prochiral cyclopropenes is described. Employment of chiral β- and γ-amino alkoxides allowed for highly diastereoselective assembly of a small series of enantiopure cyclopropane-fused oxazepanones. It was shown that the chiral center at C-4 plays a crucial role in controlling desymmetrization of the cyclopropenyl moiety, instigated by a profound potassium-templated effect. The preliminary biological activities of the new cyclopropane-fused medium heterocycles against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, cancer cells, and fungus were evaluated.
