New Quinazolin-4(3H)-One Derivatives Incorporating Isoxazole Moiety as Antioxidant Agents: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Theoretical DFT Mechanistic Study. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:1390. [PMID: 39459029 PMCID: PMC11510333 DOI: 10.3390/ph17101390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2024] [Revised: 10/05/2024] [Accepted: 10/11/2024] [Indexed: 10/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: This research centers on the development and spectroscopic characterization of new quinazolin-4(3H)-one-isoxazole derivatives (5a-e). The aim was to investigate the regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition involving arylnitriloxides and N-propargylquinazolin-4(3H)-one, and to assess the antioxidant properties of the synthesized compounds. The synthetic approach started with the alkylation of quinazolin-4(3H)-one using propargyl bromide, followed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. Methods: The structural identification of the products was performed using various spectroscopic methods, such as IR, 1H, 13C, and HMBC NMR, HRMS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. To further examine the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level were employed. Additionally, the antioxidant potential of the compounds was tested in vitro using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)radical scavenging assays. The reaction selectively produced 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles, with the regiochemical outcome being independent of the substituents on the phenyl ring. Results: Theoretical calculations using DFT were in agreement with the experimental results, revealing activation energies of -81.15 kcal/mol for P-1 and -77.32 kcal/mol for P-2, favoring the formation of P-1. An analysis of the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) confirmed that the reaction proceeded via a concerted but asynchronous mechanism. The antioxidant tests demonstrated that the synthesized compounds exhibited significant radical scavenging activity, as shown in the DPPH assay. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of arylnitriloxides with N-propargylquinazolin-4(3H)-one successfully resulted in novel 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles. Conclusions: The experimental findings were well-supported by theoretical predictions, and the antioxidant assays revealed strong activity, indicating the potential for future biological applications of these compounds.

Activity-based protein profiling guided new target identification of quinazoline derivatives for expediting bactericide discovery: Activity-based protein profiling derived new target discovery of antibacterial quinazolines. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00435-1. [PMID: 39389307 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Revised: 09/11/2024] [Accepted: 10/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The looming antibiotic-resistance problem has imposed an enormous crisis on global public health and agricultural development. Even worse, the evolution and widespread distribution of antibiotic-resistance elements in bacterial pathogens have made the resurgence of diseases that were once easily treatable deadly again. The development of antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action is urgently required. OBJECTIVES Inspired by charming activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) technology and increasing attention to quinazolines in the development of antibacterial agents, this study engineered a series of new quinazoline derivatives, assessed their antibacterial profiles, and first identified the possible target. METHODS The target identification and their possible binding sites were verified by ABPP technology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulations. The fatty acid synthesis process was analyzed by gas chromatography, propidium iodide staining, and scanning electron microscopy. The physicochemical properties and fungicide-likeness were evaluated using the Fungicide Physicochemical-properties Analysis Database. RESULTS Compound 7a, an acrylamide-functionalized quinazoline derivative, exhibited excellent antibacterial potency against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae with an EC50 value of 13.20 µM. More importantly, ABPP technology showed that β-ketoacyl-ACP-synthase Ⅱ (FabF) was the first identified quinazolines' potential target. Compound 7a could selectively bind to the Cys151 residue of FabF through covalent interaction, suppress fatty acid biosynthesis, and damage the cell membrane integrity, thereby killing the bacteria. The pot experiment results showed that compound 7a demonstrated protective and curative values of 49.55 % and 47.46 %, surpassing controls bismerthiazol and thiodiazole copper. Finally, compound 7a exhibited low toxicity towards non-target organisms. These unprecedented performances contributed to excavating new quinazoline-based bactericidal agents. CONCLUSION Our research highlights the superiority of ABPP technology, for the first time, identifies the target of engineered quinazolines in pathogenic bacteria, and their potential target fished by ABPP tools holds great promise for the development of quinazoline-based and/or FabF-targeted bactericides.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritic lesions and skin barrier dysfunction. In this study, we evaluated the effect of a quinazoline derivative, SH-340, on TSLP expression and signaling in human primary keratinocytes. Our results demonstrated that SH-340 significantly increased factors for differentiation and skin barrier function including KRT1, KRT2, KRT10, IVL, LOR, CLDN1, OVOL1, and FLG, whereas it inhibited TSLP expression in a dose-dependent manner, both at the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, SH-340 was found to inhibit the phosphorylation of STAT6, a downstream signaling molecule of IL-4 and IL-13, in keratinocytes. These findings suggest that SH-340 may suppress TSLP expression by inhibiting the IL-4/IL-13-STAT6 signaling pathway. Finally, SH-340 may potentially contribute to both the alleviation of inflammation and the restoration of skin barrier function.
