Abstract
Phenoxazines have sparked a lot of interest owing to their numerous applications in material science, organic light-emitting diodes, photoredox catalyst, dye-sensitized solar cells and chemotherapy. Among other things, they have antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-alzheimer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. Actinomycin D, which contains a phenoxazine moiety, functions both as an antibiotic and anticancer agent. Several research groups have worked on various structural modifications over the years in order to develop new phenoxazines with improved properties. Both phenothiazines and phenoxazines have gained prominence in medicine as pharmacological lead structures from their traditional uses as dyes and pigments. Organoelectronics and material sciences have recently found these compounds and their derivatives to be quite useful. Due to this, organic synthesis has been used in an unprecedented amount of exploratory alteration of the parent structures in an effort to create novel derivatives with enhanced biological and material capabilities. As a result, it is critical to conduct more frequent reviews of the work done in this area. Various stages of the synthetic transformation of phenoxazine scaffolds have been depicted in this article. This article aims to provide a state of the art review for the better understanding of the phenoxazine derivatives highlighting the progress and prospects of the same in medicinal and material applications.

Synthetic Small Molecule Modulators of Hsp70 and Hsp40 Chaperones as Promising Anticancer Agents. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24044083. [PMID: 36835501 PMCID: PMC9964478 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24044083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
A class of chaperones dubbed heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) possesses high relevance in cancer diseases due to its cooperative activity with the well-established anticancer target Hsp90. However, Hsp70 is closely connected with a smaller heat shock protein, Hsp40, forming a formidable Hsp70-Hsp40 axis in various cancers, which serves as a suitable target for anticancer drug design. This review summarizes the current state and the recent developments in the field of (semi-)synthetic small molecule inhibitors directed against Hsp70 and Hsp40. The medicinal chemistry and anticancer potential of pertinent inhibitors are discussed. Since Hsp90 inhibitors have entered clinical trials but have exhibited severe adverse effects and drug resistance formation, potent Hsp70 and Hsp40 inhibitors may play a significant role in overcoming the drawbacks of Hsp90 inhibitors and other approved anticancer drugs.

Adsorption to the surface of hemozoin crystals: Structure-based design and synthesis of new amino-phenoxazine β-hematin inhibitors. ChemMedChem 2022; 17:e202200139.

Abstract
In silico adsorption of eight antimalarials that inhibit β-hematin (synthetic hemozoin) formation identified a primary binding site on the (001) face, which accommodates inhibitors via formation of predominantly π-π interactions. A good correlation (r2 = 0.64, P = 0.017) between adsorption energies and the logarithm of β-hematin inhibitory activity was found for this face. Of 53 monocyclic, bicyclic and tricyclic scaffolds, the latter yielded the most favorable adsorption energies. Five new amino-phenoxazine compounds were pursued as β-hematin inhibitors based on adsorption behaviour. The 2-substituted phenoxazines show good to moderate β-hematin inhibitory activity (< 100 μM) and Plasmodium falciparum blood stage activity against the 3D7 strain. N1,N1-diethyl-N4-(10H-phenoxazin-2-yl)pentane-1,4-diamine (P2a) is the most promising hit with IC50 values of 4.7 ± 0.6 and 0.64 ± 0.05 μM, respectively. Adsorption energies are predictive of β-hematin inhibitory activity, and thus the in silico approach is a beneficial tool for structure-based development of new non-quinoline inhibitors.

Abstract
In a search for potent antileishmanial drug candidates, eighteen rhodacyanine analogues bearing fluorine or perfluoroalkyl substituents at various positions were synthesized. These compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities against Leishmania martiniquensis and L. orientalis. This 'fluorine-walk' analysis revealed that the introduction of fluorine atom at C-5, 6, 5', or 6' on the benzothiazole units led to significant enhancement of the activity, correlating with the less negative reduction potentials of the fluorinated analogues confirmed by the electrochemical study. On the other hand, CF3 and OCF3 groups were found to have detrimental effects, which agreed with the poor aqueous solubility predicted by the in silico ADMET analysis. In addition, some of the analogues including the difluorinated species showed exceptional potency against the promastigote and axenic amastigote stages (IC50 = 40-85 nM), with the activities surpassing both amphotericin B and miltefosine.

Abstract
Synthesis, isomerism, and fungicidal activity against potato diseases of new (5 Z)-[2-(2,4,5-trioxopyrrolidin-3-ylidene)-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-5-ylidene]acetate derivatives with 1,3-thiazolidine-4-one and pyrrolidine-2,3,5-trione moieties linked by an exocyclic C═C bond were described. Their structures were clearly confirmed by spectroscopic and spectrometric data (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry), elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. A bioassay for antifungal activity in vitro against Phytophthora infestans, Fusariun solani, Alternaria solani, Rhizoctonia solani, and Colletotrichum coccodes demonstrated that 2,4,5-trioxopyrrolidin-1,3-thiazolidine derivatives exhibited a relatively broad spectrum of antifungal activity. One of the compounds showed considerable activity against all of the strains; in the case of F. solani, P. infestans, and A. solani, it possesses comparable or better fungicidal efficacy than the positive control Consento. Consequently, this compound is a promising fungicidal candidate for plant protection.
