Abstract
Targeted protein degradation (TPD), employing proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) composed of ligands for both a target protein and ubiquitin ligase (E3) to redirect the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to the target protein, has emerged as a promising strategy in drug discovery. However, despite the vast number of E3 ligases, the repertoire of E3 ligands utilized in PROTACs remains limited. Here, we report the discovery of a small-molecule degron with a phenylpropionic acid skeleton, derived from a known ligand of S-phase kinase-interacting protein 2 (Skp2), an E3 ligase. We used this degron to design PROTACs inducing proteasomal degradation of HaloTag-fused proteins, and identified key structural relationships. Surprisingly, our mechanistic studies excluded the involvement of Skp2, suggesting that this degron recruits other protein(s) within the UPS.

Abstract
In this study, a series of rhodanine derivatives containing 5-aryloxypyrazole moiety were identified as potential agents with anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. Notably, compound 7 g (94.1 %) exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity compared with the reference drugs celecoxib (52.5 %) and hydrocortisone (79.4 %). Compound 7 g, at various concentrations, effectively inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot results showed that compound 7 g could prevents LPS-induced expression of inflammatory mediators in macrophages. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay suggested that 7 g is a promising compound capable of blocking the downstream signaling of COX-2. In summary, these findings indicate that compound 7 g could be a promising candidate for further investigation.

Abstract
Nitrogen and sulfur glycosylation was carried out via the reaction of rhodanine (1) with α-acetobromoglucose 3 under basic conditions. Deacetylation of the protected nitrogen nucleoside 4 was performed with CH3ONa in CH3OH without cleavage of the rhodanine ring to afford the deprotected nitrogen nucleoside 6. Further, deacetylation of the protected sulfur nucleoside 5 was performed with CH3ONa in CH3OH with the cleavage of the rhodanine ring to give the hydrolysis product 7. The protected nitrogen nucleosides 11a-f were produced by condensing the protected nitrogen nucleoside 4 with the aromatic aldehydes 10a-f in C2H5OH while using morpholine as a secondary amine catalyst. Deacetylation of the protected nitrogen nucleosides 11a-f was performed with NaOCH3/CH3OH without cleavage of the rhodanine ring to afford the deprotected nitrogen nucleosides 12a-f. NMR spectroscopy was used to designate the anomers' configurations. To examine the electrical and geometric properties derived from the stable structure of the examined compounds, molecular modeling and DFT calculations using the B3LYP/6-31+G (d,p) level were carried out. The quantum chemical descriptors and experimental findings showed a strong connection. The IC50 values for most compounds were very encouraging when evaluated against MCF-7, HepG2, and A549 cancer cells. Interestingly, IC50 values for 11a, 12b, and 12f were much lower than those for Doxorubicin (7.67, 8.28, 6.62 μM): (3.7, 8.2, 9.8 μM), (3.1, 13.7, 21.8 μM), and (7.17, 2.2, 4.5 μM), respectively. Against Topo II inhibition and DNA intercalation, when compared to Dox (IC50 = 9.65 and 31.27 μM), compound 12f showed IC50 values of 7.3 and 18.2 μM, respectively. In addition, compound 12f induced a 65.6-fold increase in the rate of apoptotic cell death in HepG2 cells, with the cell cycle being arrested in the G2/M phase as a result. Additionally, it upregulated the apoptosis-mediated genes of P53, Bax, and caspase-3,8,9 by 9.53, 8.9, 4.16, 1.13, and 8.4-fold change, while it downregulated the Bcl-2 expression by 0.13-fold. Therefore, glucosylated Rhodanines may be useful as potential therapeutic candidates against cancer because of their topoisomerase II and DNA intercalation activity.

Abstract
Rhodanine or 2-Thioxothiazolidin-4-one is a privileged heterocyclic compound offering a wide opportunity for structural modification, lead development, and modification. It is one of the highly decorated scaffolds in the drug discovery process. Rhodanine derivatives possess a plethora of biological activities due to their ability to interact with a diverse range of protein targets, which provide tremendous opportunities to discover new drugs with different modes of action. The most common strategy for developing novel rhodanine derivatives is the introduction of structurally diverse substituents at the C-5 or N-3, or both positions. Since the inception of Epralestat into the market in 1992, the exploration of rhodanine-3-acetic acids has led to the development of novel leads against different biological targets such as MRSA, HHV-6, Mycobacterial tuberculosis, dengue, etc. In the current pandemic era, some rhodanine compounds have been explored against SARS-CoV-2. In recent years, rhodanine and its derivatives have witnessed significant progress in developing new drug leads as potential antimicrobial and antiviral agents. Different synthetic methodologies and recent developments in the medicinal chemistry of rhodanine derivatives, including biological activities, their mechanistic aspects, structure-activity relationships, and in silico findings, have been compiled in the present review. This article will benefit the scientific community and offer perspectives on how these scaffolds as privileged structures might be exploited in the future for rational design and discovery of rhodanine-based bio-active molecules.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2, a new coronavirus emerged in 2019, causing a global healthcare epidemic. Although a variety of drug targets have been identified as potential antiviral therapies, and effective candidate against SARS-CoV-2 remains elusive. One of the most promising targets for combating COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2 Main protease (Mpro, a protein responsible for viral replication. In this work, an in-house curated library was thoroughly evaluated for druggability against Mpro. We identified four ligands (FG, Q5, P5, and PJ4) as potential inhibitors based on docking scores, predicted binding energies (MMGBSA), in silico ADME, and RMSD trajectory analysis. Among the selected ligands, FG, a natural product from Andrographis nallamalayana, exhibited the highest binding energy of -10.31 kcal/mol close to the docking score of clinical candidates Boceprevir and GC376. Other ligands (P5, natural product from cardiospermum halicacabum and two synthetic molecules Q5 and PJ4) have shown comparable docking scores ranging -7.65 kcal/mol to -7.18 kcal/mol. Interestingly, we found all four top ligands had Pi bond interaction with the main amino acid residues HIS41 and CYS145 (catalytic dyad), H-bonding interactions with GLU166, ARG188, and GLN189, and hydrophobic interactions with MET49 and MET165 in the binding site of Mpro. According to the ADME analysis, Q5 and P5 are within the acceptable range of drug likeliness, compared to FG and PJ4. The interaction stability of the lead molecules with viral protease was verified using replicated MD simulations. Thus, the present study opens up the opportunity of developing drug candidates targeting SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) to mitigate the disease.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Many compounds containing the β-phenyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl (PUSC) scaffold, including cinnamamide derivatives, have been shown to inhibit tyrosinase potently in vitro and in vivo. Structural changes to cinnamamide derivatives were produced by adding a dithionate functional group to provide eight (Z)-5-(substituted benzylidene)-3-cyclohexyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one analogs with high log p values for skin. These analogs were synthesized using a two-step reaction, and their stereochemistry was confirmed using the 3JC4-Hβ values of C4 measured in proton-coupled 13C mode. Analogs 2 (IC50 = 5.21 ± 0.86 µM) and 3 (IC50 = 1.03 ± 0.14 µM) more potently inhibited mushroom tyrosinase than kojic acid (IC50 = 25.26 ± 1.10 µM). Docking results showed 2 binds strongly to the active site of tyrosinase, while 3 binds strongly to an allosteric site. Kinetic studies using l-tyrosine as substrate indicated 2 and 3 competitively and non-competitively inhibit tyrosinase, respectively, which was supported by our docking results. In B16F10 cells, 3 significantly and concentration-dependently reduced α–MSH plus IBMX induced increases in cellular tyrosinase activity and melanin production and the similarity between these inhibitory patterns implied that the anti-melanogenic effect of 3 might be due to its tyrosinase-inhibitory ability. In addition, 2 and 3 exhibited strong antioxidant effects; for example, they reduced ROS and ONOO– levels and exhibited radical scavenging activities, suggesting that these effects might underlie their anti-melanogenic effects. Furthermore, 3 suppressed the expressions of melanogenesis-associated proteins and genes in B16F10 cells. These results suggest (Z)-5-(substituted benzylidene)-3-cyclohexyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one analogs offer a means of producing novel anti-melanogenesis agents.

Abstract
Insect pest chitinases are potential target for developing new insect growth regulators. Piperine was found first to inhibit the insect chitinase (OfChi-h) from Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer) in this work, except for previously reported OfChtI. Novel piperonyl-tethered rhodanine derivatives 7a-j were rationally designed with piperine as lead and synthesized by introducing a unique rhodanine moiety into the piperine scaffold based on the similar binding cavity of OfChtI and OfChi-h. Compared to piperine, compounds 7a-j showed approximately 100- to 400-fold or 110- to 210-fold higher inhibitory capacity against two chitinases, respectively. Molecular mechanism studies indicated that π interactions are crucial for improving inhibitory activity against two chitinases due to the introduction of the conjugated rhodanine ring. Moreover, compounds 7a-c could dramatically inhibit the growth and development of O. furnacalis larvae by in vivo activity evaluation. This study provides novel piperonyl-tethered rhodanine derivatives inhibiting dual chitinases as insect growth regulator candidates.

The rate-determining role of tyrosinase makes it a critical component in the mechanism that is responsible for melanogenesis. Thirteen (Z)-5-(substituted benzylidene)-3-phenyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one ((Z)-BPTT) analogs were designed based on the structural features of two potent tyrosinase inhibitors, viz. (Z)-5-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (5-HMT) and (Z)-2-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3(2H)-one (compound I). The trisubstituted double bond geometry of the (Z)-BPTT analogs that were generated by Knoevenagel condensation was determined using vicinal 1H and 13C coupling constants in 13C NMR spectra. Four analogs, numbers 1–3 and 6, inhibited mushroom tyrosinase 9 to 29 times more potently than kojic acid did. Kinetic study results indicated that these four analogs inhibited mushroom tyrosinase competitively and this was supported by docking simulation. Also, docking results using human tyrosinase suggested that analogs 2 and 3 might be potent human tyrosinase inhibitors. In vitro studies using B16F10 cells (a melanoma cell line) showed that analogs 1, 2, 3, and 6 inhibited cellular tyrosinase and melanin production more than kojic acid did, without perceptible cytotoxicity. In particular, analog 2, which possesses a catechol group, exerted an extremely potent anti-melanogenic effect. In addition, analog 2 showed strong scavenging activity against DPPH and ABTS radicals. Furthermore, analog 2 not only reduced ROS levels, which induce melanogenesis, but it also suppressed tyrosinase and MITF (microphthalamia-associated transcription factor) protein levels and the expressions of melanogenesis-related genes. These results suggest that analog 2 is an efficient tyrosinase inhibitor that alleviates melanogenesis by dual mechanisms of (i) the inhibition of melanogenesis-related proteins and genes and (ii) the direct inhibition of tyrosinase activity.

Abstract
Rhodanine has been recognized as a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry due to its well-known ability to demonstrate a broad range of biological activities. The possibility of structural diversification has contributed to the significance of rhodanine structure in effective drug discovery and design. Many studies have confirmed the potential of rhodanine-derived compounds in the treatment of different types of cancer through the apoptosis induction mechanism. Furthermore, most of the rhodanine derivatives exhibited remarkable anticancer activity in the micromolar range while causing negligible cytotoxicity to normal cells. This review critically describes the anticancer activity profile of reported rhodanine compounds and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) to highlight the value of rhodanine as the core structure for future cancer drug development as well as to assist the researchers in rational drug design.

Abstract
Cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibition is a well-established strategy for treating cancer. Different series of novel thiazolone (1, 7-9) together with fused thiazolthione (2-6, and 10) derivatives were designed, then synthesized and evaluated for their biological inhibitory activity against CDK2. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the new compounds was explored against breast and colon cancer cell lines. The novel thiazolone and the fused thiazolthione derivatives exhibited potent CDK2/cyclin A2 inhibitory effect of an IC50 values ranging 105.39-742.78 nM. Amongst them compounds 4 and 6 revealed highest IC50 of 105.39 and 139.27 nM, respectively. Most compounds showed significant inhibition on both breast cancer and colon cancer cell lines with IC50 range 0.54-5.26 and 0.83-278 µM, respectively. Further investigations involved flow cytometry analysis on MCF-7 cancer cell line for compounds 5 and 7 which resulted in arrest cell-cycle at two phases Pre G1/G2-M and re-enforced apoptosis via activation of caspase-7. Molecular modeling simulation of the designed compounds revealed that they were well fitted into CDK2 active site and their complexes were stabilized through the essential hydrogen bonding. Three dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D QSAR) pharmacophore, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) studies were also carried out showing proper pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness which aided in the prediction of the structure requirements responsible for the observed antitumor activity.

Abstract
In a sustained search for novel α-amylase inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we report herein the synthesis of a series of nineteen novel rhodanine-fused spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3'-oxindoles]. They were obtained by one-pot three component [3 + 2] cycloaddition of stabilized azomethine ylides, generated in situ by condensation of glycine methyl ester and the cyclic ketones 1H-indole-2,3-dione (isatin), with (Z)-5-arylidine-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones. The highlight of this protocol is the efficient high-yield construction of structurally diverse rhodanine-fused spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3'-oxindoles] scaffolds, including four contiguous stereocenters, along with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivities. The stereochemistry of all compounds was confirmed by NMR and corroborated by an X-ray diffraction study performed on one derivative. All cycloadducts were evaluated in vitro for their α-amylase inhibitory activity and showed good α-amylase inhibition with IC50 values ranging between 1.49 ± 0.10 and 3.06 ± 0.17 µM, with respect to the control drug acarbose (IC50 = 1.56 µM). Structural activity relationships (SARs) were also established for all synthesized compounds and the binding interactions of the most active spiropyrrolidine derivatives were modelledby means of molecular insilico docking studies. The most potent compounds 5 g, 5 k, 5 s and 5 l were further screened in vivo for their hypoglycemic activity in alloxan-induced diabetic rats, showing a reduction of the blood glucose level. Therefore, these spiropyrrolidine derivatives may be considered as promising candidates for the development of new classes of antidiabetic drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A series of novel 5-substituted benzylidene rhodanine derivatives using four different amines were designed based on our previously developed CoMSIA (Comparative molecular similarity indices analysis) model for the anticancer activity. METHODS The designed rhodanines were synthesized via dithiocarbamate formation, cyclization and Knoevenagel condensation. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed and analyzed by spectral studies. RESULTS The synthesized rhodanines were investigated for in vitro anticancer activities and the analogs have displayed mild to significant cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The compounds with benzyloxy substitution at the fifth position of rhodanine ring (Compounds 20, 33 and 38) system showed significant cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells. CoMSIA, a three-dimensional quantitative structureactivity relationship (3D-QSAR) technique was accomplished to elucidate structure-activity relationships. CONCLUSION Based on the information derived from CoMSIA contour plots, some key features for increasing the activity of compounds have been identified and used to design new anti-cancer agents. The present developed CoMSIA model displayed good external predictability, r2pred of 0.841 and good statistical robustness.

Abstract
Inhibitors of aldose reductase are rate-limiting enzymes and could play a key role to prevent the complications of diabetes. In our attempt to develop novel inhibitors of aldose reductase, the derivatives of rhodanine-3-hippuric acid-pyrazole hybrid were synthesized and characterised by spectral data. The biological studies reveal that all the compounds show an excellent activity against ALR2 with IC50 values ranging from 0.04 to 1.36 µM. Among these the synthesised compounds 6a-m, 6g and 6e showed specific inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.04 and 0.06 µM respectively against ALR2 and found to be more potent than epalrestat (IC50 = 0.87 μM), the only aldose reductase inhibitor currently used in the therapy. Molecular docking analysis using the AR-NADP+ complex as a receptor was performed with all the synthesized compounds. All the compounds exhibit a well-defined binding mode within the AR active site, similarly to previous described AR inhibitors, with the anion head group bound to the catalytic center, blocking thus its activity. By forming hydrogen bonds with Tyr48 and His110 of the protein from ALR2 (PDB ID: 2FZD), the compounds 6g and 6e interrupt the proton donation mechanism, which is necessary for the catalytic activity of ALR2.

Abstract
N-ribosylation and N-mannosylation compounds have a great role in compounds activity as anticancer. The reaction of 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (rhodanine) derivatives, as aglycon part, was done with ribofuranose and mannopyranose sugars (glycone part) followed by deacetylation without cleavage of the rhodanine under acidic medium. Conformational analysis has been studied using NMR methods (2D, DQF-COSY, HMQC and HMBC). All final the new deprotected nucleosides were screened against leukemia 1210, and were found to be considerably less potent (Ic50% 1.4-10.6 μM) than doxorubicin (Ic50% 0.02 μM). Compounds 10d and 10e which contain ribose moiety have better activity than those with mannose sugar. DFT calculations with B3LYP/6-31 + G (d) level were used to analyze the electronic and geometric characteristics deduced from the stable structure of the compounds. The principal quantum chemical descriptors showed a good correlation with the experimental observations. Rapid Overlay Comparison Similarity (ROCS) study was operated to explain the compounds similarity and to figure out the most important pharmacophoric features.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An alarming requirement for finding newer antidiabetic glitazones as agonists to PPARγ are on its utmost need from past few years as the side effects associated with the available drug therapy is dreadful. In this context, herein, we have made an attempt to develop some novel glitazones as PPARγ agonists, by rational and computer aided drug design approach by implementing the principles of bioisosterism. The designed glitazones are scored for similarity with the developed 3D pharmacophore model and subjected for docking studies against PPARγ proteins. Synthesized by adopting appropriate synthetic methodology and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity and glucose uptake assay. Illustrations about the molecular design of glitazones, synthesis, analysis, glucose uptake activity and SAR via 3D QSAR studies are reported. RESULTS The computationally designed and synthesized ligands such as 2-(4-((substituted phenylimino)methyl)phenoxy)acetic acid derivatives were analysed by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS-spectral techniques. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity and glucose uptake assay on 3T3-L1 and L6 cells. Further the activity data was used to develop 3D QSAR model to establish structure activity relationships for glucose uptake activity via CoMSIA studies. CONCLUSION The results of pharmacophore, molecular docking study and in vitro evaluation of synthesized compounds were found to be in good correlation. Specifically, CPD03, 07, 08, 18, 19, 21 and 24 are the candidate glitazones exhibited significant glucose uptake activity. 3D-QSAR model revealed the scope for possible further modifications as part of optimisation to find potent anti-diabetic agents.
