Qneibi M, Hawash M, Bdir S, Bdair M, Aldwaik SA. Assessing the Effects of Thiazole-Carboxamide Derivatives on the Biophysical Properties of AMPA Receptor Complexes as a Potential Neuroprotective Agent. Molecules 2024; 29:3232. [PMID: 38999182 PMCID: PMC11243149 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29133232] [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: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
An optimal balance between excitatory and inhibitory transmission in the central nervous system provides essential neurotransmission for good functioning of the neurons. In the neurology field, a disturbed balance can lead to neurological diseases like epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Autism. One of the critical agents mediating excitatory neurotransmission is α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid receptors, which are concerned with synaptic plasticity, memory, and learning. An imbalance in neurotransmission finally results in excitotoxicity and neurological pathologies that should be corrected through specific compounds. Hence, the current study will prove to be an evaluation of new thiazole-carboxamide derivatives concerning AMPAR-modulating activity and extended medicinal potential. In the current project, five previously synthesized thiazole-carboxamide derivatives, i.e., TC-1 to TC-5, were used to interact with the AMPARs expressed in HEK293T cells, which overexpress different subunits of the AMPAR. Patch-clamp analysis was carried out while the effect of the drugs on AMPAR-mediated currents was followed with a particular emphasis on the kinetics of inhibition, desensitization, and deactivation. All tested TC compounds, at all subunits, showed potent inhibition of AMPAR-mediated currents, with TC-2 being the most powerful for all subunits. These compounds shifted the receptor kinetics efficiently, mainly enhancing the deactivation rates, and hence acted as a surrogate for their neuroprotective potentials. Additionally, recently published structure-activity relationship studies identified particular substituent groups as necessary for improving the pharmacologic profiles of these compounds. In this regard, thiazole-carboxamide derivatives, particularly those classified as TC-2, have become essential negative allosteric modulators of AMPAR function and potential therapeutics in neurological disturbances underlain by the dysregulation of excitatory neurotransmission. Given their therapeutic effectiveness and safety profiles, these in vivo studies need to be further validated, although computational modeling can be further developed for drug design and selectivity. This will open possibilities for new drug-like AMPAR negative allosteric modulators with applications at the clinical level toward neurology.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a significant health issue because it gradually damages the nervous system. α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors play a significant role in the development of PD. The current investigation employed hybrid benzodioxole-propanamide (BDZ-P) compounds to get information on AMPA receptors, analyze their biochemical and biophysical properties, and assess their neuroprotective effects. Examining the biophysical characteristics of all the subunits of the AMPA receptor offers insights into the impact of BDZ-P on the desensitization and deactivation rate. It demonstrates a partial improvement in the locomotor capacities in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. In addition, the in vivo experiment assessed the locomotor activity by utilizing the open-field test. Our findings demonstrated that BDZ-P7 stands out with its remarkable potency, inhibiting the GluA2 subunit nearly 8-fold with an IC50 of 3.03 μM, GluA1/2 by 7.5-fold with an IC50 of 3.14 μM, GluA2/3 by nearly 7-fold with an IC50 of 3.19 μM, and GluA1 by 6.5-fold with an IC50 of 3.2 μM, significantly impacting the desensitization and deactivation rate of the AMPA receptor. BDZ-P7 showed an in vivo impact of partially reinstating locomotor abilities in a mouse model of PD. The results above suggest that the BDZ-P7 compounds show great promise as top contenders for the development of novel neuroprotective therapies.

Discovery of new 2-(3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazole derivatives with potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities: In vitro, in vivo and in silico investigations. Bioorg Chem 2024; 147:107372. [PMID: 38653152 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107372] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Joining the global demand for the discovery of potent NSAIDs with minimized ulcerogenic effect, new pyrazole clubbed thiazole derivatives 5a-o were designed and synthesized. The new derivatives were initially evaluated for their analgesic activity. Eight compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5h, 5m, and 5o showed higher activity than Indomethacin (potency = 105-130 % vs. 100 %). Subsequently, they were picked for further evaluation of their anti-inflammatory activity, ulcerogenic liability as well as toxicological studies. Derivatives 5h and 5m showed a potential % edema inhibition after 3 h (79.39 % and 72.12 %, respectively), with a promising safety profile and low ulcer indices (3.80 and 3.20, respectively). The two compounds 5h and 5m were subjected to in vitro COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition assay. The candidate 5h showed nearly equipotent COX-1 inhibition (IC50 = 38.76 nM) compared to the non-selective reference drug Indomethacin (IC50 = 35.72 nM). Compound 5m expressed significant inhibitory activities and a higher COX-2 selectivity index (IC50 = 87.74 nM, SI = 2.05) in comparison with Indomethacin (SI = 0.52), with less selectivity than Celecoxib (SI = 8.31). Simulation docking studies were carried out to gain insights into the binding interaction of compounds 5h and 5m in the vicinity of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that illustrated the importance of pyrazole clubbed thiazole core in hydrogen bonding interactions. The thiazole motif of compounds 5h and 5m exhibited a well orientation toward COX-1 Arg120 key residue by hydrogen bonding interactions. Compound 5h revealed an additional arene-cation interaction with Arg120 that could rationalize its superior COX-1 inhibitory activity. Compounds 5h and 5m overlaid the co-crystallized ligand Celecoxib I differently in the active site of COX-2. Compound 5m showed an enhanced accommodation with binding energy of - 6.13 vs. - 1.70 kcal/mol of compounds 5h. The naphthalene ring of compound 5m adopted the Celecoxib I benzene sulfonamide region that is stabilized by hydrogen-arene interactions with the hydrophobic sidechains of the key residues Ser339 and Phe504. Further, the core structure of compound 5m, pyrazole clubbed thiazole, revealed deeper hydrophobic interactions with Ala513, Leu517 and Val509 residues. Finally, a sensitive and accurate UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of some selected promising pyrazole derivatives in rat plasma. Accordingly, compounds 5h and 5m were suggested to be promising potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents with improved safety profiles and a novel COX isozyme modulation activity.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the most commonly used complementary and alternative medicine therapies for depression. Integrated Chinese-western therapies have been extensively applied in numerous diseases due to their superior efficiency in individual treatment. We used the meta-analysis, network pharmacology, and bioinformatics studies to identify the putative role of Longya Lilium combined with Fluoxetine in depression. Depression-like behaviors were mimicked in mice after exposure to the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The underlying potential mechanism of this combination therapy was further explored based on in vitro and in vivo experiments to analyze the expression of COX-2, PGE2, and IL-22, activation of microglial cells, and neuron viability and apoptosis in the hippocampus. The antidepressant effect was noted for the combination of Longya Lilium with Fluoxetine in mice compared to a single treatment. COX-2 was mainly expressed in hippocampal CA1 areas. Longya Lilium combined with Fluoxetine reduced the expression of COX-2 and thus alleviated depression-like behavior and neuroinflammation in mice. A decrease of COX-2 curtailed BV-2 microglial cell activation, inflammation, and neuron apoptosis by blunting the PGE2/IL-22 axis. Therefore, a combination of Longya Lilium with Fluoxetine inactivates the COX-2/PGE2/IL-22 axis, consequently relieving the neuroinflammatory response and the resultant depression.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that treat inflammation, pain and fever. This study determined the interaction mechanisms of COX-2 inhibitors and the molecular properties needed to design new drug candidates. Using machine learning and explainable AI methods, the inhibition activity of 1488 molecules was modelled, and essential properties were identified. These properties included aromatic rings, nitrogen-containing functional groups and aliphatic hydrocarbons. They affected the water solubility, hydrophobicity and binding affinity of COX-2 inhibitors. The binding mode, stability and ADME properties of 16 ligands bound to the Cyclooxygenase active site of COX-2 were investigated by molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and MM-GBSA analysis. The results showed that ligand 339,222 was the most stable and effective COX-2 inhibitor. It inhibited prostaglandin synthesis by disrupting the protein conformation of COX-2. It had good ADME properties and high clinical potential. This study demonstrated the potential of machine learning and bioinformatics methods in discovering COX-2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Despite extensive genetic and biochemical characterization, the molecular genetic basis underlying the biosynthesis of β-diketones remains largely unexplored. β-Diketones and their complexes find broad applications as biologically active compounds. In this study, in silico molecular docking results revealed that two β-diketone derivatives, namely 2-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazono)cyclohexane-1,3-dione, exhibit anti-COX-2 activities. However, recent docking results indicated that the relative anti-COX-2 activity of these two studied β-diketones was influenced by the employed docking programs. For improved design of COX-2 inhibitors from β-diketones, we conducted molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, Hirshfeld surface analysis, energy framework, and ADMET studies. The goal was to understand the interaction mechanisms and evaluate the inhibitory characteristics. The results indicate that 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazono)cyclohexane-1,3-dione shows greater anti-COX-2 activity compared to 2-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)hydrazono)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized benzodioxol carboxamide derivatives and investigated their antidiabetic potential. The synthesized compounds (Ia-Ic and IIa-IId) underwent characterization via HRMS, 1H-, 13CAPT-NMR, and MicroED. Their efficacy against α-amylase was assessed in vitro, while MTS assays were employed to gauge cytotoxicity across cancer and normal cell lines. Additionally, the antidiabetic impact of compound IIc was evaluated in vivo using a streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice model. Notably, IIa and IIc displayed potent α-amylase inhibition (IC50 values of 0.85 and 0.68 µM, respectively) while exhibiting a negligible effect on the Hek293t normal cell line (IC50 > 150 µM), suggesting their safety. Compound IId demonstrated significant activity against four cancer cell lines (26-65 µM). In vivo experiments revealed that five doses of IIc substantially reduced mice blood glucose levels from 252.2 mg/dL to 173.8 mg/dL in contrast to the control group. The compelling in vitro anticancer efficacy of IIc and its safety for normal cells underscores the need for further in vivo assessment of this promising compound. This research highlights the potential of benzodioxol derivatives as candidates for the future development of synthetic antidiabetic drugs.

Abstract
Microbiological DNA gyrase is recognized as an exceptional microbial target for the innovative development of low-resistant and more effective antimicrobial drugs. Hence, we introduced a one-pot facile synthesis of a novel pyranopyrazole scaffold bearing different functionalities; substituted aryl ring, nitrile, and hydroxyl groups. All new analogs were characterized with full spectroscopic data. The antimicrobial screening for all analogs was assessed against standard strains of Gm + ve and Gm-ve through in vitro considers. The screened compounds displayed very promising MIC/MBC values against some of the bacterial strains with broad or selective antibacterial effects. Of these, 4j biphenyl analog showed 0.5-2/2-8 µg/mL MIC/MBC for suppression and killing of Gm + ve and Gm-ve strains. Moreover, the antimicrobial screening was assessed for the most potent analogs against certain highly resistant microbial strains. Consequently, DNA gyrase supercoiling assay was done for all analogs using ciprofloxacin as reference positive control. Obviously, the results showed a different activity profile with potent analog 4j with IC50 value 6.29 µg/mL better than reference drug 10.2 µg/mL. Additionally, CNS toxicity testing was done using the HiB5 cell line for attenuation of GABA/NMDA expression to both 4j and ciprofloxacin compounds that revealed better neurotransmitter modulation by novel scaffold. Importantly, docking and dynamic simulations were performed for the most active 4j analog to investigate its interaction with DNA binding sites, which supported the in vitro observations and compound stability with binding pocket. Finally, a novel scaffold pyranopyrazole was introduced as a DNA gyrase inhibitor with prominent antibacterial efficacy and low CNS side effect toxicity better than quinolones.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

New Thiazole Carboxamide Derivatives as COX Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, Anticancer Screening, In Silico Molecular Docking, and ADME Profile Studies. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:29512-29526.

Abstract
The goal of this work was to create and test a new series of thiazole carboxamide derivatives for their cyclooxygenase (COX) suppressor and anticancer effects. The compounds were characterized using 1H, 13C NMR, and HRMS spectrum analysis, and their selectivity toward COX-1 and COX-2 was assessed using an in vitro COX inhibition assay kit. Cytotoxicity was assessed using an MTS assay against a panel of cancer and normal cell lines. The docking studies were aided by the Prime MM-GBSA method for estimating binding affinities. The density functional theory (DFT) analysis was performed to assess compound chemical reactivity, which was calculated by computing the border orbital energy of both HOMO and LUMO orbitals, as well as the HOMO-LUMO energy gap. For ADME-T analysis, the QiKProp module was employed. Furthermore, using human X-ray crystal structures, molecular docking studies were carried out to discover the probable binding patterns of these drugs within both COX-1 and COX-2 isozymes. The results demonstrated that the most effective compound against the COX-1 enzyme was 2b with an IC50 of 0.239 μM. It also showed potent activity against COX-2 with an IC50 value of 0.191 μM and a selectivity ratio of 1.251. The highest selectivity ratio was 2.766 for compound 2a against COX-2 with an IC50 dose of 0.958 μM relating to the celecoxib ratio of 23.8 and its IC50 against COX-2 of 0.002 μM. Compound 2j also showed good selectivity toward COX-2 (1.507) with an IC50 value of 0.957 μM. All compounds showed negligible cytotoxic activity against the evaluated normal cell lines, and the IC50 values were more than 300 μM, except for compound 2b, whose IC50 values were 203.71 ± 1.89 and 116.96 ± 2.05 μM against LX-2 and Hek293t cell lines, respectively. Moreover, compound 2b showed moderate anticancer activity against COLO205 and B16F1 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 30.79 and 74.15 μM, respectively.

Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13040595.

Abstract
Organotin(IV) carboxylates are a class of compounds explored as alternatives to platinum-containing chemotherapeutics due to propitious in vitro and in vivo results, and distinct mechanisms of action. In this study, triphenyltin(IV) derivatives of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin (HIND) and flurbiprofen (HFBP)) are synthesized and characterized, namely [Ph3Sn(IND)] and [Ph3Sn(FBP)]. The crystal structure of [Ph3Sn(IND)] reveals penta-coordination of the central tin atom with almost perfect trigonal bipyramidal geometry with phenyl groups in the equatorial positions and two axially located oxygen atoms belonging to two distinct carboxylato (IND) ligands leading to formation of a coordination polymer with bridging carboxylato ligands. Employing MTT and CV probes, the antiproliferative effects of both organotin(IV) complexes, indomethacin, and flurbiprofen were evaluated on different breast carcinoma cells (BT-474, MDA-MB-468, MCF-7 and HCC1937). [Ph3Sn(IND)] and [Ph3Sn(FBP)], unlike the inactive ligand precursors, were found extremely active towards all examined cell lines, demonstrating IC50 concentrations in the range of 0.076–0.200 µM. Flow cytometry was employed to examine the mode of action showing that neither apoptotic nor autophagic mechanisms were triggered within the first 48 h of treatment. However, both tin(IV) complexes inhibited cell proliferation potentially related to the dramatic reduction in NO production, resulting from downregulation of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzyme expression.
