Abstract
A series of new diterpene quinopimaric acid derivatives modified at the hydroxyl group with different pharmacophore fragments has been synthesised and their (along with previously obtained compounds) inhibitory properties towards cholinesterases were studied. Thereby an indole-3-acetyl derivative 7 and a propargyl substituted compound 28 were shown to be excellent and acetylcholinesterase-selective inhibitors. Both compounds inhibited the enzyme as a mixed type inhibitor, and Ki values of 0.41 and 0.44 µM and Ki' values of 0.98 and 2.26 µM were determined. The binding interactions between all active compounds and ligands protein were confirmed through molecular docking study.

Abstract
Among abietane type semisynthetic diterpenoids, a series of quinopimaric and maleopimaric acid derivatives modified at the carboxyl and carbonyl groups, and in ring E were synthesised to obtain new compounds with antimicrobial potency against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and key ESKAPE pathogens. It was found that compound 8 exhibited low toxicity to human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293 (> 32 μg/mL) and showed significant bacteriostatic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (MIC ≤ 0.25 µg/mL) and excellent antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (MICs ≤0.25 µg/mL) being ≈4 and ≈30 fold more active than vancomycin and fluconazole. It also showed moderate activity against fungus Candida albicans (MIC ≤ 0.25 µg/mL). Compound 9 inhibited M. tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC of 1.25 µg/mL. The docking studies suggest possible interactions of the leading compounds with the molecular targets.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:13535. [PMID: 36362322 PMCID: PMC9655717 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the most common chronic metabolic disorders, has increased dramatically over the past decade and has resulted in higher rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The enzyme, α-Glucosidase (α-GLy), is considered a therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 DM. Herein, we synthesized arylidene, heterocyclic, cyanoetoxy- and propargylated derivatives of quinopimaric acid (levopimaric acid diene adduct with p-benzoquinone) 1-50 and, first, evaluated their ability to inhibit α-GLy. Among the tested compounds, quinopimaric acid 1, 2,3-dihydroquinopimaric acid 8 and its amide and heterocyclic derivatives 9, 30, 33, 39, 44, with IC50 values of 35.57-65.98 μM, emerged as being good inhibitors of α-GLy. Arylidene 1β-hydroxy and 1β,13α-epoxy methyl dihydroquinopimarate derivatives 6, 7, 26-29, thiadiazole 32, 1a,4a-dehydroquinopimaric acid 40 and its indole, nitrile and propargyl hybrids 35-38, 42, 45, 48, and 50 showed excellent inhibitory activities. The most active compounds 38, 45, 48, and 50 displayed IC50 values of 0.15 to 0.68 μM, being 1206 to 266 more active than acarbose (IC50 of 181.02 μM). Kinetic analysis revealed the most active diterpene indole with an alkyne substituent 45 as a competitive inhibitor with Ki of 50.45 μM. Molecular modeling supported this finding and suggested that the indole core plays a key role in the binding. Compound 45 also has favorable pharmacokinetic and safety properties, according to the computational ADMET profiling. The results suggested that quinopimaric acid derivatives should be considered as potential candidates for novel alternative therapies in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Synthesis and evaluation of diterpenic Mannich bases as antiviral agents against influenza A and SARS-CoV-2. PHYTOCHEMISTRY LETTERS 2022; 51:91-96.

Abstract
A chemical library was constructed based on the resin acids (abietic, dehydroabietic, and 12-formylabietic) and its diene adducts (maleopimaric and quinopimaric acid derivatives). The one-pot three-component CuCl-catalyzed aminomethylation of the abietane diterpenoid propargyl derivatives was carried out by formaldehyde and secondary amines (diethylamine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, and homopiperazine). All compounds were tested for cytotoxicity and antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) in MDCK cells and SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus in BHK-21-hACE2 cells. Among 21 tested compounds, six derivatives demonstrated a selectivity index (SI) higher than 10, and their IC50 values ranged from 0.19 to 5.0 μM. Moreover, two derivatives exhibited potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 infection activity. The antiviral activity and toxicity strongly depended on the nature of the diterpene core and heterocyclic substituent. Compounds 12 and 21 bearing pyrrolidine moieties demonstrated the highest virus-inhibiting activity with SIs of 128.6 and 146.8, respectively, and appeared to be most effective when added at the time points 0-10 and 1-10 h of the viral life cycle. Molecular docking and dynamics modeling were adopted to investigate the binding mode of compound 12 into the binding pocket of influenza A virus M2 protein. Compound 9 with a pyrrolidine group at C20 of 17-formylabietic acid was a promising anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent with an EC50 of 10.97 µM and a good SI value > 18.2. Collectively, our data suggested the potency of diterpenic Mannich bases as effective anti-influenza and anti-COVID-19 compounds.

Abstract
Leukemia, a hematological malignancy originating from the bone marrow, is the principal cancer of childhood. In recent decades, improved remission rates and survival of patients with leukemia have been achieved due to significant breakthroughs in the treatment. However, chemoresistance and relapse are common, creating an urgent need for the search for novel pharmaceutical interventions. 1,2,3-Triazole is one of the most fascinating pharmacophores in the discovery of new drugs, and several 1,2,3-triazole derivatives have already been used in clinics or are under clinical evaluation for the treatment of cancers. In particular, 1,2,3-triazole hybrids could suppress tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis by inhibiting enzymes, proteins, and receptors in cancer cells, revealing their potential as putative antileukemic agents. This review covers the recent advances regarding the 1,2,3-triazole hybrids with potential antileukemic activity, focusing on the chemical structures, structure-activity relationship, and mechanisms of action, covering articles published from January 2017 to January 2022.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy and leads to around one-quarter of all cancer deaths. Great advances have been achieved in the treatment of lung cancer with novel anticancer agents and improved technology. However, morbidity and mortality rates remain extremely high, calling for an urgent need to develop novel anti-lung cancer agents. 1,2,3-Triazole could be readily interact with diverse enzymes and receptors in organisms through weak interaction. 1,2,3-Triazole can not only be acted as a linker to tether different pharmacophores but also serve as a pharmacophore. This review aims to summarize the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole-containing compounds with anti-lung cancer potential, and their structure-activity relationship (SAR) together with mechanisms of action is also discussed to pave the way for the further rational development of novel anti-lung cancer candidates.
