Abstract
Cancer remains a significant health challenge globally, requiring the development of targeted chemotherapeutics capable of specifically inhibiting cancer cell growth. Angiogenesis is one of the key features of tumor growth and metastasis and is, therefore, an important target for the treatment of many tumors. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway has proven to be a promising lead in anticancer therapy due to the central role it plays in tumor angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is a key mediator in the signaling pathway regulating angiogenesis. Targeting VEGFR-2 may disrupt angiogenesis, leading to a reduction in tumor blood supply and tumor progression. The design, synthesis, and assessment of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitor derivatives are the focus of this study, with particular emphasis on incorporating the pyrazole-thiadiazol pharmacophore into the molecular structure. Taking advantage of the pharmacophoric properties of pyrazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazol, compounds with different substituents in the main structure were designed and synthesized. The compounds were also evaluated for antiproliferative activity against cancer cell lines. Compound 4e demonstrated the highest activity among all compounds, with an IC50 of 9.673 ± 0.399 μM against HT-29 cells and 23.081 ± 0.400 μM against NIH3T3 cells. To further support the inhibitory activity of compound 4e, an in silico study was performed. Compound 4e demonstrated strong binding to the active site of VEGFR-2 in molecular docking studies, forming hydrogen bonds with key amino acid residues. The stability of the compound in the enzyme's active site was demonstrated through molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
An organocatalytic [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between thiazolidine-containing β-ketoester 1 and aryl azides 2 was employed to synthesize new 1,2,3-triazolyl-thiazolidine hybrids 3. In this metal-free approach, twelve compounds were isolated in yields ranging from 23 % to 96 % by using diethylamine (10 mol%) and DMSO at 75 °C for 24 hours. DNA-binding assays were conducted through absorption, emission spectroscopy and viscosimetry analysis, to evaluate the interaction capacity of the studied derivatives with nucleic acids. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their interactions with a specific group of compounds containing the pharmacophoric groups triazole and thiazolidine through a molecular docking speculative study, aimed at identifying the interaction profile of these compounds with DNA. The obtained results suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-thiazolidine hybrids could be a promising approach in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting DNA-related processes.

Abstract
In this study, 12 novel 2-((1-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazineylidene)-3-ethyl-4-(substitutephenyl)-2,3-dihydrothiazole derivatives were obtained. Among these compounds, 2-((1-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazineylidene)-4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3-ethyl-2,3-dihydrothiazole (4h) was chosen as the most active derivative in the series. According to the MTT results, compounds 4h and 4k showed activity with IC50 =4.566±0.246 μM and IC50 =4.537±0.463 μM, respectively. Unlike other derivatives, compound 4h carries a phenyl ring in the 4th position of the phenyl ring. This bulky group allowed the compound to settle in the enzyme active site. Dynamic studies show that the stability of the compound does not change over 40 ns. RMSD, RMSF and Rg parameters all remained within acceptable limits. The uninterrupted aromatic hydrogen bonding of the enzyme active site with the important amino acids Cys919, Glu885 and Asp1046 proves the inhibitory potential of compound 4h on the VEGFR-2 enzyme. It is thought that more active compounds will be reached with the derivatives to be synthesized starting from compound 4h.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer types of cancer with the highest mortality rates. However, while epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important parameter for lung cancer, EGFR inhibitors also show great promise in the treatment of the disease. Therefore, a series of new EGFR inhibitor candidates containing thiadiazole and pyrazole rings have been developed. The activities of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by in vitro MTT, (which is chemically 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide), cytotoxicity assay, analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by flow cytometry, and EGFR inhibition experiments. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed as in silico studies. Compounds 6d, 6g, and 6j showed inhibitor activity against the A549 cell line with IC50 = 5.176 ± 0.164; 1.537 ± 0.097; and 8.493 ± 0.667 μM values, respectively. As a result of MMP by flow cytometry, compound 6g showed 80.93% mitochondrial membrane potential. According to the results of the obtained EGFR inhibitory assay, compound 6g shows inhibitory activity on the EGFR enzyme with a value of IC50 = 0.024 ± 0.002 μM.

Abstract
As lung cancer was placed foremost part among other types of cancer in terms of mortality. Recent researches are widely focused on developing multi-targeted and site-specific targeted drug designs. In the present study, we designed and developed a series of quinoxaline pharmacophore derivatives as active EGFR inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The compounds were synthesized through a condensation reaction between hexane-3,4-dione and methyl 3,4-diaminobenzoate as a first step. Their structures were confirmed by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and HRMS spectroscopic methods. Cytotoxicity (MTT) were applied to determine anticancer activity of the compounds against breast (MCF7), fibroblast (NIH3 T3), and lung (A549) cell lines as EGFR inhibitors. Doxorubicin was used as a reference agent, compound 4i exhibited a significant effect among other derivatives with IC50 = 3.902 ± 0.098 μM value against A549 cell line. The docking study showed that the best position on EGFR receptor could be observed with 4i. From the obtained evaluations of the designed series, compound 4i was a promising agent as EGFR inhibitor for further investigation and evaluation studies in the future.

Abstract
Cancer is a progressive disease that is frequently encountered worldwide. The incidence of cancer is increasing with the changing living conditions around the world. The side-effect profile of existing drugs and the resistance developing in long-term use increase the need for novel drugs. In addition, cancer patients are not resistant to bacterial and fungal infections due to the suppression of the immune system during the treatment. Rather than adding a new antibacterial or antifungal drug to the current treatment plan, the fact that the drug with anticancer activity has these effects (antibacterial and antifungal) will increase the patient's quality of life. For this purpose, in this study, a series of 10 new naphthalene-chalcone derivatives were synthesized and their anticancer-antibacterial-antifungal properties were investigated. Among the compounds, compound 2j showed activity against the A549 cell line with an IC50 = 7.835 ± 0.598 μM. This compound also has antibacterial and antifungal activity. The apoptotic potential of the compound was measured by flow cytometry and showed apoptotic activity of 14.230%. The compound also showed 58.870% mitochondrial membrane potential. Compound 2j inhibited VEGFR-2 enzyme with IC50 = 0.098 ± 0.005 μM. Molecular docking studies of the compounds were carried out by in silico methods against VEGFR-2 and caspase-3 enzymes.

Abstract
The development of new strategies for the production of nitrogen and sulfur-containing heterocycles remains an extremely alluring but challenging proposition. Among these heterocyclic compounds, spiro-thiazolidines are a distinct class of heterocyclic motifs with an all-encompassing range of pharmaceutical activities such as anti-histaminic, anti-proliferative, anesthetic, hypnotic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV, anthelmintic, CNS stimulant, and anti-viral potentials. Consequently, investigators have produced these heterocycles through diversified intricate pathways as object structures for medicinal studies. Notwithstanding their innumerable manmade solicitations, there is yet no special periodical on MCRs concerning spiro-thiazolidine via green synthesis. Thus, this in-depth review encompasses the excursion of MCRs to spiro-thiazolidines, including the environment-friendly synthetic approaches, reaction situations, rationale behind the optimal selection of catalyst, scope, anticipated mechanism, and biological activities. In this review, we have focussed on the furthermost current developments in spiro-thiazolidine creation under different conditions, such as ionic liquid-assisted, microwave-assisted, on-water, solid-supported acid-catalyzed, asymmetric, and nanocatalyst-assisted syntheses, developed over the last 8 years. This study details works regarding the total amalgamation of spiro-thiazolidines under N- and S-containing heterocycles. Furthermore, this article summarizes the developments of artificially and pharmaceutically important spiro-thiazolidine candidates.

Abstract
The discovery of a new class of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitors has been achieved via developing novel 2-imino-5-arylidene-thiazolidine analogues. A novel synthetic method employing a solid support-mediated reaction was used to construct the targeted thiazolidines through a cascade reaction with good yields. The chemical and physical stability of the new thiazolidine library has successfully been achieved by blocking the labile C5-position to aerobic oxidation. A cell viability study was performed using esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (KYSE-30 and KYSE-150) and non-tumorous esophageal epithelial cell lines (HET-1A and NES-G4T) through utilization of an MTT assay, revealing that (Z)-5-((Z)-4-bromobenzylidene)-N-(4-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-4,4-dimethylthiazolidin-2-imine (6g) was the best compound among the synthesized library in terms of selectivity. DAPI staining experiments were performed to visualize the morphological changes and to investigate the apoptotic activity. Moreover, western blots were used to probe the mechanism/pathway behind the observed activity/selectivity of thiazolidine 6g which established selective inhibition of phosphorylation in the ERK pathway. Molecular modeling techniques have been utilized to confirm the observed activity. A molecular docking study revealed similar binding interactions between the synthesized thiazolidines and reported co-crystalized inhibitors with ERK proteins. Thus, the present study provides a starting point for the development of interesting bioactive 2-imino-5-arylidene-thiazolidines.

Abstract
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used anticancer drug group in breast cancer cases. The development of resistance in cancer patients over time and the side effects of existing drugs make the need for new and effective agents permanent. In this study, 10 novel pyrimidine-triazole derivatives were synthesized and their anticancer activities were investigated. Compounds 5c and 5g showed inhibitor activity against MCF-7 cell line with IC 50 =1.573±0.020; 3.698±0.056 µM value, respectively. As a result of in vitro aromatase enzyme inhibition test, compounds 5c and 5g were exhibited significant activity with IC 50 =0.082±0.007 µM and IC50=0.198±0.015 µM, respectively. Estimated physicochemical parameters were calculated using the online SwissADME program for all compounds. Interaction modes of the compounds 5c and 5g were investigated against aromatase enzyme by means of docking studies. As a result of the studies, the importance of the triazole ring for aromatase inhibition has been understood.

Abstract
Benzothiazole scaffolds exhibit exciting medicinal properties including anticancer. In recent time most complicated job for every researcher is to discover a novel drug that can treat cancer with minimal side effects. Some heterocyclic anticancer drugs including daunorubicin, 5-flourouracil, doxorubicin, methotrexate, etc. are markedly available. In addition, few natural products such as vincristine alongwith vinblastine are used as anticancer drugs. More than 90% of the novel drugs bearing heterocyclic moieties have always been main portions in the development of anticancer drugs. Heterocyclic compounds containing benzothiazole moiety show a superior pharmaceutical effect than non-nitrogen compounds. These N-/S-containing benzothiazole compounds, the heart of drug discovery, present a significant and valuable group of molecules that play a chief and vital role in our living cells. This chapter recites the weightage of benzothiazole nuclei in the progress of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
An efficient surface-mediated synthetic method to facilitate access to a novel class of thiazolidines is described. The rationale behind the design of the targeted thiazolidines was to prepare stable thiazolidine analogues and evaluate their anti-proliferative activity against a breast cancer cell line (MCF7). Most of the synthesized analogues exhibited increased potency ranging from 2–15-fold higher compared to the standard reference, cisplatin. The most active thiazolidines contain a halogenated or electron withdrawing group attached to the N-phenyl ring of exocyclic 2-imino group. However, combination of the two substituents did not enhance the activity. The anti-proliferative activity was measured in terms of IC50 values using an MTT assay.

Abstract
Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) have become promising drug targets for the development of central nervous system agents. In recent research, it was shown that numerous piperazine derivatives exhibit hMAO inhibitory activity. Therefore, in this study, a novel series of 1,2,4-triazole-piperazine derivatives (5a-j) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and screened for their hMAO-A and hMAO-B inhibitory activities. When the ADME predictions were examined, it was seen that the pharmacokinetic profiles of all synthesized compounds were appropriate. Compounds 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5e, with H, F, Cl, and NO2 groups on the 4-position of the phenyl ring, respectively, showed important MAO-A inhibitory activity. Compound 5c was found to be the most effective agent among the synthesized compounds with an IC50 value of 0.070 ± 0.002 µM against the MAO-A enzyme. The synthesized compounds appear to support the results of other studies to design MAO inhibitors to obtain more suitable drugs, especially for neurological disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Abstract
Targeted therapy plays a pivotal role in cancer therapeutics by countering the drawbacks of conventional treatment like adverse events and drug resistance. Over the last decade, heterocyclic derivatives have received considerable attention as cytotoxic agents by modulating various signaling pathways. Benzothiazole is an important heterocyclic scaffold that has been explored for its therapeutic potential. Benzothiazole-based derivatives have emerged as potent inhibitors of enzymes such as EGFR, VEGFR, PI3K, topoisomerases, and thymidylate kinases. Several researchers have designed, synthesized, and evaluated benzothiazole scaffold-based enzyme inhibitors. Of these, several inhibitors have entered various phases of clinical trials. This review describes the recent advances and developments of benzothiazole architecture-based derivatives as potent anticancer agents.

Abstract
A series of 2-arylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid amide derivatives were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines (PC-3, SKOV3 and MDA-MB231) was evaluated. Various structural modifications were tried including modifications of the length of the amide chain and modifications of the 2-aryl part using disubstituted phenyl and thiophene derivatives. The structure activity relationship was evaluated based on the in vitro biological evaluation against the above mentioned three cancer cell lines. The most selective compounds towards cancer cells were further evaluated against DLD-1, NCI-H520, Du145, MCF-7 and NCI-N87 cancer cells. The dodecyl amide having the 4-bromothienyl as the 2-aryl, compound 2e, exhibited the highest selectivity for cancer cells vs non-tumor cells. Mechanistic studies of the anticancer effect of compound 2e in prostate cancer PC-3 and colorectal cancer DLD-1 cells revealed that 2e could prevent the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase by up-regulating the expression of p21 and reducing the expression of CDK2 and cyclin E. It increased the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and cleaved caspase 3, and down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 to induce apoptosis. In addition, 2e also downregulated AKT, N-cadherin, and vimentin proteins expression giving indication that 2e inhibit the PI3K/AKT pathway to regulate cell cycle arrest and induce apoptosis, and can regulate the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related proteins.

Abstract
Benzothiazole (BTA) belongs to the heterocyclic class of bicyclic compounds. BTA derivatives possesses broad spectrum biological activities such as anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-proliferative, anti-diabetic, anti-convulsant, analgesic, anti-tubercular, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, anti-histaminic and anti-fungal among others. The BTA scaffolds showed a crucial role in the inhibition of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA). In this review an extensive literature survey over the last decade discloses the role of BTA derivatives mainly as anticancer agents. Such compounds are effective against various types of cancer cell lines through a multitude of mechanisms, some of which are poorly studied or understood. The inhibition of tumour associated CAs by BTA derivatives is on the other hand better investigated and such compounds may serve as anticancer leads for the development of agents effective against hypoxic tumours.

Abstract
Inhibition of aromatase enzymes is very important in the prevention of estrogen-related diseases and the regulation of estrogen levels. Aromatase enzyme is involved in the final stage of the biosynthesis of estrogen, in the conversion of androgens to estrogen. The development of new compounds for the inhibition of aromatase enzymes is an important area for medicinal chemists in this respect. In the present study, new benzimidazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized which have reported anticancer activity in the literature. Their anticancer activity was evaluated against human A549 and MCF-7 cell lines by MTT assay. In the series, concerning MCF-7 cell line, the most potent compounds were the 4-benzylpiperidine derivatives 2c, 2g, and 2k with IC50 values of 0.032 ± 0.001, 0.024 ± 0.001, and 0.035 ± 0.001 µM, respectively, compared to the reference drug cisplatin (IC50 = 0.021 ± 0.001 µM). Then, these compounds were subject to further in silico aromatase enzyme inhibition assays to determine the possible binding modes and interactions underlying their activity. Thanks to molecular docking studies, the effectiveness of these compounds against aromatase enzyme could be simulated. Consequently, it has been found that these compounds can be settled very properly to the active site of the aromatase enzyme.

Synthesis, characterization and carbonic anhydrase I and II inhibitory evaluation of new sulfonamide derivatives bearing dithiocarbamate. Eur J Med Chem 2020; 198:112392. [PMID: 32388113 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2020.112392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In this study, novel dithiocarbamate-sulfonamide derivatives (3a-3k) were synthesized to investigate their inhibitory activity on purified human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II. The IC50 and Ki values of the compounds were calculated to compare their inhibition profiles on hCA I and II isoenzymes. Acetazolamide was used as the standard inhibitor in the enzyme inhibition assay. Compounds 3a, 3e, 3g, 3h, 3j and 3k showed notable inhibitory effects against hCA I and II. Among these compounds, compound 3h was found to be the most active derivate against both the hCA I and II enzymes with Ki values of 0.032 ± 0.001 μM and 0.013 ± 0.0005 μM, respectively. The cytotoxicity of compounds 3a, 3e, 3g, 3h, 3j and 3k toward NIH/3T3 (mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line) was observed and the compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the interaction types between compound 3h and the hCA I and II enzymes. As a result of this study a novel and potent class of CA inhibitors with good activity potential were identified.

Abstract
In past decades, interdisciplinary research has been of great interest for scholars. Thiazolidine motifs behave as a bridge between organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry and compel researchers to explore new drug candidates. Thiazolidine motifs are very intriguing heterocyclic five-membered moieties present in diverse natural and bioactive compounds having sulfur at the first position and nitrogen at the third position. The presence of sulfur enhances their pharmacological properties, and, therefore, they are used as vehicles in the synthesis of valuable organic combinations. They show varied biological properties viz. anticancer, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antioxidant activity and so on. This diversity in the biological response makes it a highly prized moiety. Based on literature studies, various synthetic approaches like multicomponent reaction, click reaction, nano-catalysis and green chemistry have been employed to improve their selectivity, purity, product yield and pharmacokinetic activity. In this review article, we have summarized systematic approaches for the synthesis of thiazolidine and its derivatives, along with their pharmacological activity, including advantages of green synthesis, atom economy, cleaner reaction profile and catalyst recovery which will help scientists to probe and stimulate the study of these scaffolds.
