Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a growing global health concern. In recent decades, natural and synthetic chromenone have emerged as promising drug candidates due to their multi-target potential. Natural chromenone, quercetin, scopoletin, esculetin, coumestrol, umbelliferone, bergapten, and methoxsalen (xanthotoxin), and synthetic chromenone hybrids comprising structures like acridine, 4-aminophenyl, 3-arylcoumarins, quinoline, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-triazole, and tacrine, have been explored for their potential to combat AD. Key reactions used for synthesis of chromenone hybrids include Perkin and Pechmann condensation. The activity of chromenone hybrids has been reported against several drug targets, including AChE, BuChE, BACE-1, and MAO-A/B. This review comprehensively explores natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic chromenone, elucidating their synthetic routes, possible mode of action/drug targets and structure-activity relationships (SAR). The acquired knowledge provides valuable insights for the development of new chromenone hybrids against AD.

Abstract
In our study, a series of novel 4-aminophenol benzamide-1,2,4-oxadiazole hybrid analogues have been designed and synthesized by condensing 4-hydroxyphenyl arylamides (3a-c) and 5-chloromethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (6a-d). The structure of the synthesised compounds was verified by various spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and LC-MS). All the prepared compounds were subjected to in silico and in vitro antiproliferative study against TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231. The investigations revealed that compound 7k significantly promoted apoptosis against MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values of 22.31 µM and 26.27 µM, respectively. Compound 7k interacted with crucial active sites of MAPK and exhibited the highest docking score of -7.06 kcal/mol. Docking was validated with molecular dynamic studies with simulation for 100 ns, depicting various stable interactions with MAPK. Consequently, 7k forms stable H-Bonds and π-π stacking with amino acid residues along with π-cation. Our investigations reveal that the in vitro antiproliferative study of 7k was in good correlation with the in silico studies. Hence, 7k serves as a potential novel lead for the inhibition of TNBCs by downregulating MAPK P38.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Women below 40 years greatly suffer from triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs). Compared to other breast cancer cases, the poor prognosis and lower survival rate of TNBC patients make it an alarming task to save the human era from this dreadful disease. Therefore, identifying potential novel leads is urgently required to combat the TNBC. To discover a novel anticancer agent, we synthesized a series of novel 4-aminophenolbenzamide-1,3,4 oxadiazole hybrid analogues (7a-l). The structure of the compounds was confirmed by spectral methods (1H & 13C NMR, IR and MS). All the compounds were subjected to their in-silico and in-vitro antiproliferative studies against the TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231. The investigations revealed that 7i has significantly promoted apoptosis against MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values of 16.89 and 19.43 µM, respectively. Molecular docking of 7i, with MAPK has exhibited the highest binding score of -7.10 kcal/mol by interacting with crucial amino acids present at the active sites. Molecular docking is further validated with molecular dynamic studies with simulation for 100 ns, depicting various stable interactions with MAPK. Compound 7i, forms stable H-bonds and π-π stacking with amino acid residues. Molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) reveals that hydrophobic and water bridges were very prominent for 7i to bind, with the amino acid residues in close proximity to the active site of p38 MAPK. The investigations show that the In-vitro antiproliferative study of 7i agreed with the in-silico studies. Collectively, our investigations depict 7i as a potent novel lead for the inhibition of TNBCs by targeting p38 MAPK.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The synthesis of eleven new and previously undescribed benzamides was designed. These compounds were specifically projected as potential inhibitors of the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and β-secretase (BACE1). N,N'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-methoxybenzamide) was most active against AChE, with an inhibitory concentration of AChE IC50 = 0.056 µM, while the IC50 for donepezil was 0.046 µM. This compound was also the most active against the BACE1 enzyme. The IC50 value was 9.01 µM compared to that for quercetin, with IC50 = 4.89 µM. Quantitative results identified this derivative to be the most promising. Molecular modeling was performed to elucidate the potential mechanism of action of this compound. Dynamic simulations showed that new ligands only had a limited stabilizing effect on AChE, but all clearly reduced the flexibility of the enzyme. It can, therefore, be concluded that a possible mechanism of inhibition increases the stiffness and decreases the flexibility of the enzyme, which obviously impedes its proper function. An analysis of the H-bonding patterns suggests a different mechanism (from other ligands) when interacting the most active derivative with the enzyme.

Abstract
Q203 (telacebec) is an imidazopyridine amide (IPA) targeting the respiratory CIII2CIV2 supercomplex of the mycobacterial electron transport chain (ETC). Aiming for a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of IPA, 27 analogues were prepared through a seven-step synthetic scheme. Oxygen consumption assay was designed to test the inhibition of purified Mycobacterium smegmatis CIII2CIV2 by these compounds. The assay results generally supported structure-activity relationship information obtained from the structure of M. smegmatis CIII2CIV2 bound to Q203. The IC50 of Q203 and compound 27 was 99 ± 32 and 441 ± 138 nM, respectively. All IPAs including Q203 showed no inhibition of mitochondrial ETC, proving their selectivity against mycobacteria. In vitro Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth inhibition and M. smegmatis CIII2CIV2 binding did not correlate perfectly. These observations suggest that further investigation into the mechanisms of resistance in different mycobacterial species is needed to understand the lack of the correlation pattern between CIII2CIV2 inhibition and cellular activity.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE), hydrolase enzyme, regulates the hydrolysis of acetylcholine neurotransmitter in the neurons. AchE is found majorly in the central nervous system at the site of cholinergic neurotransmission. It is involved in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's diseasecausing dementia, cognitive impairment, behavioral and psychological symptoms. Recent findings involved the inhibition of AchE that could aid in the treatment of Alzheimer's. Many drugs of different classes are being analyzed in the clinical trials and examined for their potency. Drugs that are used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease are donepezil, galantamine, tacrine, rivastigmine showing major adverse effects. To overcome this, researchers work on novel drugs to elicit inhibition. This review comprises many hybrids and non-hybrid forms of heteroaromatic and nonheteroaromatic compounds that were designed and evaluated for AchE inhibition by Ellman's method of assay. These novel compounds may assist future perspectives in the discovery of novel moieties against Alzheimer's disease by the inhibition of AchE.

Abstract
Recently, the direct thrombin (thr) inhibitor dabigatran has proven to be beneficial in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aiming at discovering novel multimodal agents addressing thr and AD-related targets, a selection of previously and newly synthesized potent thr and factor Xa (fXa) inhibitors were virtually screened by the Multi-fingerprint Similarity Searching aLgorithm (MuSSeL) web server. The N-phenyl-1-(pyridin-4-yl)piperidine-4-carboxamide derivative 1, which has already been experimentally shown to inhibit thr with a Ki value of 6 nM, has been flagged by a new, upcoming release of MuSSeL as a binder of cholinesterase (ChE) isoforms (acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase, AChE and BChE), as well as thr, fXa, and other enzymes and receptors. Interestingly, the inhibition potency of 1 was predicted by the MuSSeL platform to fall within the low-to-submicromolar range and this was confirmed by experimental Ki values, which were found equal to 0.058 and 6.95 μM for eeAChE and eqBChE, respectively. Thirty analogs of 1 were then assayed as inhibitors of thr, fXa, AChE, and BChE to increase our knowledge of their structure-activity relationships, while the molecular determinants responsible for the multiple activities towards the target enzymes were rationally investigated by molecular cross-docking screening.

Abstract
Background The metabolic characteristics of body fluids of excellent water polo players before and after competition have not been reported. The purpose of the study was to compare the metabolites in the urine of water polo players before and after competition by 1H-NMR-based metabolomic approach. Methods Twenty-six young water polo players participated in the study voluntarily. The urine and blood samples of players were collected one week before competition (A), immediately after competition (B), and one week after competition (C). Metabolomic analysis was conducted on the urine samples. Urine routine items and biochemical indicators in blood samples were detected. Results Metabolomic results showed that the contents of eleven metabolites including lactic acid, acetoacetate, and succinic acid in the urine of the subjects increased and four metabolites such as dimethylamine, choline, and glucose decreased at stage B. Most metabolites at stage C had basically returned to the levels at stage A. Pyruvate metabolism, pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, synthesis, and degradation of ketone bodies were mainly involved in the above process. Urine conventional analysis results showed that the urine pH decreased dramatically and the levels of PRO and URO significantly increased at stage B, and the three indicators had similar values between stages A and C. The other indicators did not have obvious difference among the three stages. Analysis of blood biochemical indicators showed that the levels of LDH, BUN, CK, and AST significantly increased at stage B and did not show an obvious difference between stages A and C. The results are helpful for coaches to arrange the athletes' diet reasonably and to conduct scientific training for athletes.

Abstract
In this study, a total of 18 new benzamide/ nicotinamide/ cinnamamide derivative compounds were designed and synthesized for the first time (except B1 and B5) by conventional and microwave irradiation methods. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS spectra. In vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition effects of the compounds were evaluated to find out new possible drug candidate molecule/s. According to the inhibition results, the IC50 values of the compounds synthesized were in the range of 10.66-83.03 nM towards AChE, while they were in the range of 32.74-66.68 nM towards BuChE. Tacrine was used as the reference drug and its IC50 values were 20.85 nM and 15.66 nM towards AChE and BuChE, respectively. The most active compounds B4 (IC50: 15.42 nM), N4 (IC50: 12.14 nM), and C4 (IC50: 10.67 nM) in each series towards AChE were docked at the binding site of AChE enzyme to explain the inhibitory activities of each series. On the other hand, the compounds B4, N4, and C4 showed satisfactory pharmacokinetic properties via the prediction of ADME profiles.

Abstract
In this study, we report the generation of a polymer-based dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) incorporating exchangeable side chains using acylhydrazone formation reaction. In combination with tetrameric butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), the most potent binding side chain was identified, and the information obtained was further used for the synthesis of a multivalent BChE inhibitor. In the in vitro biological evaluation, this multivalent inhibitor exhibited not only better inhibitory effect than the commercial reference but also high selectivity on BChE over acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

Molecules 2020; 25:E4958. [PMID: 33114751 PMCID: PMC7662280 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25214958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Revised: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The synthesis of the new hybrids followed a hybridization with the aid of hydroxy-benzotriazole (HOBT) and 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDCI.HCL) in dry DMF or thionyl chloride between curcumin analogues and cinnamic acid derivatives. IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, LC/MS ESI+, and elemental analysis were used for the confirmation of the structures of the novel hybrids. The lipophilicity values of compounds were calculated theoretically and experimentally via the reversed chromatography method as RM values. The novel derivatives were studied through in vitro experiments for their activity as antioxidant agents and as inhibitors of lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase-2, and acetyl-cholinesterase. All the compounds showed satisfying anti-lipid peroxidation activity of linoleic acid induced by 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH). Hybrid 3e was the most significant pleiotropic derivative, followed by 3a. According to the predicted results, all hybrids could be easily transported, diffused, and absorbed through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). They presented good oral bioavailability and very high absorption with the exception of 3h. No inhibition for CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 was noticed. According to the Ames test, all the hybrids induced mutagenicity with the exception of 3d. Efforts were conducted a) to correlate the in vitro results with the most important physicochemical properties of the structural components of the molecules and b) to clarify the correlation of actions among them to propose a possible mechanism of action. Docking studies were performed on soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) and showed hydrophobic interactions with amino acids. Docking studies on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) exhibited: (a) hydrophobic interactions with TRP281, LEU282, TYR332, PHE333, and TYR336 and (b) π-stacking interactions with TYR336.

Abstract
Spectroscopic analysis and different quantum mechanical studies of four pharmaceutically active compounds phenacetin, p-acetanisidide, 4'-butoxyacetanilide, and 4'-(3-chloropropoxy)acetanilide are reported in this manuscript. Simulated IR spectrum of these compounds was compared with experimentally available data, and essential functional group assignments were made. We also report the frontier orbital properties and other derived local energy descriptors which talks about the relative stability and reactivity. Photovoltaic efficiency of the compounds was studied from the simulated electronic spectra. The compound was found to interact with graphene and fullerene, to form molecular self-assembly. These self-assemblies showed tremendous enhancement in various physicochemical properties when compared with its constituents. The nature of the interactions between studied chemical species was discussed with the help of chemical reactivity principles. Biological activity of the compounds was predicted using molecular docking studies. It is interesting to see that on adsorption with a graphene/fullerene surface, all adsorbed complex shows enhancement in the Raman activity giving surface enhanced Raman spectra (SERS). This can be used for the detection of these drugs in a pharmacological or biological sample. Interestingly the graphene/fullerene drug molecular assembly shows enhanced biological activity when compared with individual drug molecules. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Aurora kinases are known to be overexpressed in various solid tumors and implicated in oncogenesis and tumor progression. A series of nicotinamide derivatives were synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated, including kinase inhibitory activity against Aur A and Aur B and in vitro antitumor activity against SW620, HT-29, NCI-H1975 and Hela cancer cell lines. In addition, the study of antiproliferation, cytotoxicity and apoptosis was performed meanwhile. As the most potent inhibitor of Aur A, 4-((3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-6-chloro-N-(4-((6,7-dimethoxyquinolin-4-yl)oxy)-3-fluorophenyl)nicotinamide (10l) showed excellent antitumor activity against SW620 and NCI-H1975 with IC50 values were 0.61 and 1.06 μM, while the IC50 values of reference compound were 3.37 and 6.67 μM, respectively. Furthermore, binding mode studies indicated that compound 10l forms better interaction with Aur A.

Abstract
The work is focused on the design of drugs that prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its complications. A series of 3–(4-aminophenyl)-coumarin derivatives designed, synthesised, fully characterised and evaluated in vitro/vivo. The biological assay experiments showed that some compounds displayed a clearly selective inhibition for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Among all compounds, compound 4m exhibited the highest AChE inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.091 ± 0.011 µM and compound 4k exhibited the highest BuChE inhibition with an IC50 value of 0.559 ± 0.017 µM. A zebrafish behaviour analyser (Zebrobox) was used to determine the behavioural effects of the active compound on the movement distance of the aluminium chloride-induced zebrafish. Compound 4m offered a potential drug design concept for the development of therapeutic or preventive agents for AD and its complications.

Structure-activity study of fluorine or chlorine-substituted cinnamic acid derivatives with tertiary amine side chain in acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition. Drug Dev Res 2019; 80:438-445. [PMID: 30680760 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.21515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2018] [Revised: 12/28/2018] [Accepted: 01/05/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
In this study, a series of new fluorine or chlorine-substituted cinnamic acid derivatives that contain tertiary amine side chain were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition. The results show that almost all the derivatives containing tertiary amine side chain (compounds 4a-9d) exhibit moderate or potent activity in AChE inhibition. By contrast, their parent compounds (compounds 3a-3f) in the absence of tertiary amine moitery exhibit poor inhibitory activity against AChE. For the compounds containing pyrroline or piperidine side chain, the bioactivity in AChE inhibition is much intense than those containing N,N-diethylamino side chain. The chlorine or fluorine substituted position produces a significant effect on the bioactivity and selectivity in AChE inhibition. Most of the compounds that contain para-substituted fluorine or chlorine exhibit potent activity against AChE and poor activity against BChE, while ortho-substituted analogs show the opposite effect. It is worth noticing that the compounds containing N,N-diethylamino side chain are exceptions to this pattern. Among the newly synthesized compounds, compounds 6d are the most potent in AChE inhibition (IC50 = 1.11 ± 0.08 μmol/L) with high selectivity for AChE over BChE (selectivity ratio: 46.58). An enzyme kinetic study of compounds 6d suggests it produces a mixed-type inhibitory effect in AChE.
