Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132020. [PMID: 38704061 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
A series of D-ring fused 16-substituted steroidal quinoxalin-2(1H)-one attached to an electron-releasing (ER) or electron-withdrawing (EW) groups via steroidal oxoacetate intermediate were synthesized to investigate their protein aggregation inhibition potential using human lysozyme (HLZ). The influence of the type of substituent at the C-6 positions of the quinoxalin-2(1H)-one ring on the protein aggregation inhibition potential was observed, showing that the EW moiety improved the protein aggregation inhibition potency. Of all the evaluated compounds, NO2-substituted quinoxalin-2(1H)-one derivative 13 was the most active compound and had a maximum protein aggregation inhibition effect. Significant stabilization effects strongly support the binding of the most biologically active steroidal quinoxalin-2(1H)-one with docking studies. The predicted physicochemical and ADME properties lie within a drug-like space which shows no violation of Lipinski's rule of five except compounds 12 and 13. Combined, our results suggest that D-ring fused 16-substituted steroidal quinoxalin-2(1H)-one has the potential to modulate the protein aggregation inhibition effect.

Abstract
Genome methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism in various biological events such as development, cellular differentiation, cancer progression, aging, and iPSC reprogramming. Crosstalk between DNA methylation and gene expression is mediated by MBD2, known as the reader of DNA methylation and suggested as a drug target. Despite its magnitude of significance, a scarcely limited number of small molecules to be used as inhibitors have been detected so far. Therefore, we screened a comprehensive compound library to elicit MBD2 inhibitor candidates. Promising molecules were subjected to computational docking analysis by targeting the methylated DNA-binding domain of human MBD2. We could detect reasonable binding energies and docking residues, presumably located in druggable pockets. Docking results were also validated via MD simulation and per-residue energy decomposition calculation. Drug-likeness of these small molecules was assessed through ADMET prediction to foresee off-target side effects for future studies. All computational approaches notably highlighted two compounds named CID3100583 and 8,8-ethylenebistheophylline. These compounds have become prominent as novel candidates, possibly disrupting MBD2MBD-DNA interaction. Consequently, these compounds have been considered prospective inhibitors with the usage potential in a wide range of applications from cancer treatment to somatic cell reprogramming protocols.

Abstract
Quinoxalines, a class of N-heterocyclic compounds, are important biological agents, and a significant amount of research activity has been directed towards this class. They have several prominent pharmacological effects like antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial. Quinoxaline derivatives have diverse therapeutic uses and have become the crucial component in drugs used to treat cancerous cells, AIDS, plant viruses, schizophrenia, certifying them a great future in medicinal chemistry. Due to the current pandemic situation caused by SARS-COVID 19, it has become essential to synthesize drugs to combat deadly pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses) for now and near future. Since quinoxalines is an essential moiety to treat infectious diseases, numerous synthetic routes have been developed by researchers, with a prime focus on green chemistry and cost-effective methods. This review paper highlights the various synthetic routes to prepare quinoxaline and its derivatives, covering the literature for the last two decades. A total of 31 schemes have been explained using the green chemistry approach, cost-effective methods, and quinoxaline derivatives' therapeutic uses.

Abstract
An efficient method to construct chiral acyclic nucleosides via Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of N-allylpyrimidines or N-alkenylpurines is reported. A range of chiral acyclic nucleosides with two adjacent hydroxyl groups present on the side chains could be produced in good yields (up to 97% yield) and excellent enantioselectivities (90-99% ee). The synthetic utility of the reaction was demonstrated by the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of ( S)-Cidofovir and ( R)-Buciclovir.

Abstract
Nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds represent a unique class of chemicals with especial properties and have been modified to design novel pharmaceutically active compounds. In this study, a series of novel quinazolinone derivatives with substituted quinoxalindione were synthesized in two parts. In the first part, 6-(4-amino-3-methylphenoxy)quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione was prepared from para-amino -m-crozol in 5 steps. In the next part, 2-alkyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one derivatives were obtained from antranilic acid. Then reaction of 6-(4-amino-3-methylphenoxy)quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione with 2-alkyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one derivatives resulted in the production of final componds. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR and 1H-NMR. Cytotoxic activity of the compounds were evaluated at 0.1, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μM concentrations against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay. Almost all new compounds showed cytotoxic activity in both cell lines. Among tested compounds, 11g displayed the highest cytotoxic activity against both cell lines.

Abstract
A new series of N-(substituted-phenyl)-2-[5-(quinoxalin-2-yloxymethyl)-[1,3,4] oxadiazol-2-ylsulfanyl]-acetamides (5a-o) was designed and synthesised from the parent compound 2-hydroxy quinoxaline (1) through a multistep reaction sequence and was characterised by spectral and elemental analyses. All of the compounds synthesised were evaluated for their antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activities. The results revealed that quinoxaline-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles displayed promising antibacterial, antifungal and anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activities compared with reference drugs, particularly the lead compound 5l in a short-term in vivo model in T. cruzi.

Abstract
An alternative approach to the synthesis of a series of new pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6][1,4]thiazino[2,3-b]quinoxaline derivatives is described. Reaction of 5-bromo-2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine and 3-aminoquinoxaline-2-thiol leads to the key intermediate 3-[(5-bromo-2-chloro-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)thio]quinoxalin-2-amine. This intermediate can be transformed into the title ring systems by subsequent treatment either with secondary amines followed by intramolecular cyclisation or initial intramolecular cyclisation with subsequent reaction with secondary amines.

Abstract
A series of novel acyclic thymine nucleoside analogues were prepared by the Mitsunobu reaction from appropriately protected chiral triols. The enantiomeric triols were obtained from substituted gamma-lactone acids, prepared by asymmetric oxidation of 3-substituted-1,2-cyclopentanediones. The cytotoxic activity of new analogues was evaluated on MCF-7 human breast cancer and HeLa cells, and antiviral activities on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and hepatitis C virus models. The synthesized compounds revealed specific anti-retroviral activity and no cytotoxic side effects.

Abstract
Microwave-assisted synthesis of novel acyclic C-nucleosides of 6-alkyl/aryl-3-(1,2-O-isopropylidene-D-ribo-tetritol-1-yl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles (5-12) and the 6-aryl-thiomethyl analogues 25-27 has been described. Deblocking of 5-12 and 25-27 afforded the free acyclic C-nucleosides 13-20, and 28-30, respectively. All of the synthesized compounds showed no inhibition against HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication in MT-4 cells. However, 6-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-(1,2-O-isopropylidene-D-ribo-tetritol-1-yl)-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (6) is a potent inhibitor, in vitro, of the replication of HIV-2. These results suggest that compound 6 should be considered as a new lead in the development of antiviral agent.
