Abstract
Cancer is still an insurmountable problem for humans and critically attacking human health. In recent years, natural products have gained increasing attention in the field of anti-tumor due to their extensive sources and minimal side effects. Maslinic acid (MA), a pentacyclic triterpene acid mainly derived from the olive tree (Olea europaea L.) has been confirmed to possess great anti-cancer effects. This paper reviewed the inhibitory effect of MA and its derivatives on lung cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, lymphatic, leukemia, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, gallbladder cancer, and bladder cancer, among others. MA inhibited the proliferation of various tumor cells and showed lower IC50 values in melanoma 518A2 cells and gastric cancer MKN28 cells compared with other cell lines. A series of semi-synthetic derivatives obtained by modifying MA chemical structure have been shown to have high cytotoxicity to human tumor cell lines, but low cytotoxicity to non-malignant cells, which is conducive to developing its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent. These studies suggest that MA derivatives have broad prospects in the development of antitumor therapeutics in the future and warrant further study.

Abstract
Steriods are well-known scaffolds that have a widespread occurrence in different compounds characterized by extensive biological properties including anticancer activity. Structural modifications on steroids always generate potential lead compounds with superior bioactivity, and creation of steroid hybrids by combining steroid with other anticancer pharmacophores in one molecule, which can exert the anticancer activity through different mechanisms, is one of the most promising strategies to enhance efficiency, overcome drug resistance and reduce side effects. Sugars and azoles, can act on diverse receptors, proteins and enzymes in cancer cells, are pharmacologically significant scaffolds in the development of novel anticancer agents. Therefore, steroid-sugar hybrids cardiac glycosides and steroid-azole hybrids are privileged scaffolds for the discovery of novel anticancer candidates. This review emphasized on the development, the structure-activity relationship and the mechanism of action of cardiac glycosides and steroid-azole hybrids with potential application for fighting against various cancers including drug-resistant forms to facilitate further rational design of novel drug candidates covering articles published between 2015 and 2020.

Abstract
Two series of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles (6a-e) and 1,4-disubstituted triazoles (8a-e) derivatives have been synthesized from tyrosol (1), a natural phenolic compound, detected in several natural sources such as olive oil, and well-known by its wide spectrum of biological activities. Copper-catalyzed microwave-assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between tyrosol-alkyne derivative 2 and two series of aryl nitrile oxides (5a-e) and azides (7a-e) regiospecifically afforded 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles (6a-e) and 1,4-triazole derivatives (8a-e), respectively in quantitative yields. Synthesized compounds were purified and characterized by spectroscopic means including 1D and 2D NMR techniques and HRMS analysis. The newly prepared hybrid molecules have been evaluated for their anticancer and hemolytic activities. Results showed that most derivatives displayed significant antiproliferative activity against human glioblastoma cancer cells (U87) in a dose-dependent manner. Compounds 6d (IC50 = 15.2 ± 1.0 μg/mL) and 8e (IC50 = 21.0 ± 0.9 μg/mL) exhibited more potent anticancer activity. Moreover, most derivatives displayed low hemolytic activity, even at higher concentrations which suggested that these classes of compounds are suitable candidates for further in vivo investigations. The obtained results allow us to consider the newly synthesized isoxazole- and triazole-linked tyrosol derivatives as promising scaffolds for the development of effective anticancer agents.

Abstract
In late December 2019, a novel coronavirus, namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), escaped the animal-human interface and emerged as an ongoing global pandemic with severe flu-like illness, commonly known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, a molecular docking study was carried out for seventeen (17) structural analogues prepared from natural maslinic and oleanolic acids, screened against SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Furthermore, we experimentally validated the virtual data by measuring the half-maximal cytotoxic and inhibitory concentrations of each compound. Interestingly, the chlorinated isoxazole linked maslinic acid (compound 17) showed promising antiviral activity at micromolar non-toxic concentrations. Thoughtfully, we showed that compound 17 mainly impairs the viral replication of SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, a very promising SAR study for the examined compounds was concluded, which could be used by medicinal chemists in the near future for the design and synthesis of potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 candidates. Our results could be very promising for performing further additional in vitro and in vivo studies on the tested compound (17) before further licensing for COVID-19 treatment.

Abstract
Microwave Mediated Organic Synthesis (MMOS) is typical on the proficient heat
shift carried out by dielectric heating, which in turn, is primarily dependent on the capability
of the reagent or solvent to take up microwave energy. The employment of microwave energy
has witnessed a fast expansion in the past two decades, with novel and pioneering
applications in peptide and organic synthesis, material sciences, polymer chemistry, biochemical
processes and nanotechnology. This review summarizes current MW- mediated
catalytic reactions in use for the synthesis of a diversity of N-heterocycles by Multi-
Component Reactions (MCRs) and a variety of miscellaneous reactions. In addition, the
review addresses some aspects of the use of nanoparticles for a diversity of applications in
microwave chemistry.

Abstract
Anticancer agents are critical for the cancer treatment, but side effects and the drug resistance associated with the currently used anticancer agents create an urgent need to explore novel drugs with low side effects and high efficacy. 1,2,3-Triazole is privileged building block in the discovery of new anticancer agents, and some of its derivatives have already been applied in clinics or under clinical trials for fighting against cancers. Hybrid molecules occupy an important position in cancer control, and hybridization of 1,2,3-triazole framework with other anticancer pharmacophores may provide valuable therapeutic intervention for the treatment of cancer, especially drug-resistant cancer. This review emphasizes the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids with anticancer potential, covering articles published between 2015 and 2019, and the structure-activity relationships, together with mechanisms of action are also discussed.

Abstract
Interesting biological activities (anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, antioxidant, antidiabetic…) have been reported for maslinic acid (MA) and MA-based compounds. In continuation of our previous work on MA, herbicide potential of Tunisian plant extracts and 1,4-triazolyl derivatives of MA, we now wish to report semisynthesis of new MA-based triazole hybrid compounds with herbicide potential. These compounds were synthesized through Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) under microwave irradiation conditions between propargylated MA and a series of phthalimide azides. Here, the first partner of CuAAC reaction (propargylated MA) resulted from propargylation of C-28 carboxylic acid group of isolated MA from the well-known Mediterranean plant Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae). So far, phthalimide azide derivatives were achieved by trapping of N-acyliminium ion, in-situ generated under catalytic condition of Bi(OTf)3, by aromatic nucleophiles. The cycloaddition reaction afforded regiospecifically 1,4-disubstituted triazoles in good yields. The latter hybrid compounds were shown to exhibit a high inhibition potential of seed germination. This constitutes the first step in development of potent herbicides since one of the final semisynthesized structures can serve as a promising lead candidate for further studies.

Abstract
Saponins are potential wide-spectrum antitumor drugs, and copper(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is a suitable approach to synthesizing saponin-like compounds by regioselective glycosylation of the C2/C3 hydroxyl and C28 carboxylic groups of triterpene aglycones maslinic acid (MA) and oleanolic acid (OA). Biological studies on the T-84 human colon carcinoma cell line support the role of the hydroxyl groups at C2/C3, the influence of the aglycone, and the bulky nature of the substituents in C28. OA bearing a α-d-mannose moiety at C28 (compound 18) focused our interest because the estimated inhibitory concentration 50 was similar to that reported for ginsenoside Rh2 against colon cancer cells and it inhibits the G1-S phase transition affecting the cell viability and apoptosis. Considering that triterpenoids from natural sources have been identified as inhibitors of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) signaling, docking studies were conducted to evaluate whether NF-κB may be a potential target. Results are consistent with the biological study and predict a similar binding mode of MA and compound 18 to the p52 subunit from NF-κB but not for OA. The fact that the binding site is shared by the NF-κB inhibitor 6,6-dimethyl-2-(phenylimino)-6,7-dihydrobenzo[d][1,3]oxathiol-4(5H)-one supports the result and points to NF-κB as a potential target of both MA and compound 18.

Abstract
Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is emerging as a central regulator in inflammatory processes, as documented by increasing studies reported in the literature. For instance, the activation of this nicotinic receptor subtype in resident macrophages inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby attenuating local inflammatory responses, and may open a new window in the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease, such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma. In continuation of our ongoing research for the development of new cholinergic drug candidates, we selected the nicotine derivative CAP55, which was previously shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects via nicotinic stimulation, as a suitable compound for lead optimization. Through the isosteric replacement of its 3,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydroisoxazole core with a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole ring, we could rapidly generate a small library of CAP55-related analogs via a one-pot copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Receptor binding assays at nAChRs led to the identification of two promising derivatives, compounds 4 and 10, worthy of further pharmacological studies.

Maslinic acid promotes autophagy by disrupting the interaction between Bcl2 and Beclin1 in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Oncotarget 2017; 8:74527-74538.

Abstract
Maslinic acid (2α, 3β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, MA) was isolated from natural plants and showed anti-cancer activity in rat Pheochromocytoma PC12 cells in our previous studies. We now discover that MA disrupts the interaction between Bcl2 and autophagy scaffold protein Beclin1 in the above cell line, leading to the up-regulation of autophagy. We investigated the effect of MA on the interaction between Bcl2 and Beclin1 by biochemical and biophysical methods in combination with autophagy characterization in the above cell line. Our results suggest that MA may serve as an autophagy activator by directly blocking the Bcl2-Beclin1 interaction to release free Beclin1 required for the recruitment of autophagy positive regulators, implying MA may exert its anti-cancer activity by regulating autophagy.
