Abstract
With the rapid increase of diabetes cases in the world, there is an increasing demand for slowing down and managing diabetes and its effects. It is considered that a viable prophylactic treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is to reduce carbohydrate digestibility by controlling the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase to control postprandial hyperglycemia and promote the growth of intestinal beneficial bacteria. In this work, the effects of sulfonated lignin with different sulfonation degrees (0.8 mmol/g, SL1; 2.9 mmol/g, SL2) on the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase and the proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria in vitro were investigated. The results showed that both SL1 and SL2 can inhibit the activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The inhibition capacity (IC50, 32.35 μg/mL) of SL2 with a low concentration (0-0.5 mg/mL) to α-amylase was close to that of acarbose to α-amylase (IC50, 27.33 μg/mL). Compared with the control groups, the bacterial cell concentrations of Bifidobacteria adolescentis and Lactobacillus acidophilus cultured with SL1 and SL2 increased in varying degrees (8-36%), and the produced short-chain fatty acids were about 1.2 times higher. This work demonstrates the prospect of sulfonated lignin as a prebiotic for the prevention and treatment of T2DM, which provides new insights for opening up a brand new field of lignin.

Abstract
Dehydroabietic Acid (DHA, 1) derivatives are known for their antiproliferative properties, among others. In the context of this work, DHA was initially modified to two key intermediates bearing a C18 methyl ester, a phenol moiety at C12, and an acetyl or formyl group at C13 position. These derivatives allowed us to synthesize a series of DHA-chalcone hybrids, suitable for structure–activity relationship studies (SARS), following their condensation with a variety of aryl-aldehydes and methyl ketones. The antiproliferative evaluation of the synthesized DHA-chalcone hybrids against three breast cancer cell lines (the estrogen-dependent MCF-7 and the estrogen-independent MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T) showed that eight derivatives (33, 35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 43, 44) exhibit low micromolar activity levels (IC50 2.21–11.5 μΜ/MCF-7). For instance, some of them showed better activity compared to the commercial anticancer drug 5-FU against MCF-7 cells (33, 41, 43, 44) and against MDA-MB231 (33 and 41). Hybrid 38 is a promising lead compound for the treatment of MCF-7 breast cancer, exhibiting comparable activity to 5-FU and being 12.9 times less toxic (SI = 22.7). Thus, our findings suggest that DHA-chalcone hybrids are drug candidates worth pursuing for further development in the search for novel breast cancer therapies.

Abstract
A series of heterocyclic compounds containing a spiro-fused pyrrolo[3,4-a]pyrrolizine and tryptanthrin framework have been synthesized and studied as potential antitumor agents. Cytotoxicity of products was screened against human erythroleukemia (K562) and human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines. Among the screened compounds. 4a, 4b and 5a were active against human erythroleukemia (K562) cell line, while 4a and 5a were active against cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell line. In agreement with the DNA cytometry studies, the tested compounds have achieved significant cell-cycle perturbation with higher accumulation of cells in G2/M phase and induced apoptosis. Using confocal microscopy, we found that with 4a and 5a treatment of HeLa cells, actin filaments disappeared, and granular actin was distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm in 76–91% of cells. We discovered that HeLa cells after treatment with compounds 4a and 5a significantly reduced the number of cells with filopodium-like membrane protrusions (from 63 % in control cells to 29% after treatment) and a decrease in cell motility.

Abstract
Quinoxaline (C8H6N2), commonly called 1,4-diazanaphthalene, 1,4-benzodiazine, or benzopyrazine, is a very potent nitrogenous heterocyclic moiety consisting of a benzene ring fused with the pyrazine ring. A number of different methods for the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives have been reported in the literature, but the most effective method, commonly used for the synthesis of quinoxaline analogues involves the condensation of substituted o-phenylenediamines with 1, 2- dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of different catalyst(s). The presence of different types of catalysts and their concentration affects the overall yield of the product. Quinoxaline not only plays an important role as an organic reaction intermediate but also has a wide spectrum of interesting biological activities viz. antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antiprotozoal activity, etc. Some commercially available drug molecules containing quinoxaline moiety are echinomycin (as antibacterial, antineoplastic, and nucleic acid inhibitor), triostins (cyclic desipeptide as an antibacterial agent), dioxidine and mequindox (as antibacterial agents), carbadox (controlling swine dysentery), desoxycarbadox (as swine growth promoter) and panadipion (as hepatoprotective agent), etc. A large number of quinoxaline analogues possessing different biological activities and their synthetic procedures have been patented worldwide.

Abstract
Novel heterocyclic compounds containing 3-spiro[3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane]oxindole framework (4a, 4b and 4c) have been studied as potential antitumor agents. The in silico ADMET (adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) analysis was performed on 4a-c compounds with promising antiproliferative activity, previously synthetized and screened against human erythroleukemic cell line K562 tumor cell line. Cytotoxicity of 4a-c against murine fibroblast 3T3 and SV-40 transformed murine fibroblast 3T3-SV40 cell lines were evaluated. The 4a and 4c compounds were cytotoxic against 3T3-SV40 cells in comparison with those of 3T3. In agreement with the DNA cytometry studies, the tested compounds have achieved significant cell-cycle perturbation with higher accumulation of cells in G0/G1 phase. Using confocal microscopy, we found that with 4a and 4c treatment of 3T3 cells, actin filaments disappeared, and granular actin was distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm in 82-97% of cells. The number of 3T3-SV40 cells with stress fibers increased to 7-30% against 2% in control. We discovered that transformed 3T3-SV40 cells after treatment with compounds 4a and 4c significantly reduced the number of cells with filopodium-like membrane protrusions (from 86 % in control cells to 6-18% after treatment), which indirectly suggests a decrease in cell motility. We can conclude that the studied compounds 4a and 4c have a cytostatic effect, which can lead to a decrease in the number of filopodium-like membrane protrusions.

Abstract
Background:
Quinoxaline-1,4-dioxide (QNX) derivatives are synthetic heterocyclic compounds with
multiple biological and pharmacological effects.
Objective:
In this study, we investigated the oxidative status of quinoxaline-1,4-dioxides derivatives in modulating
melanoma and glioma cell lines, based on previous results from the research group and their capability to
promote cell damage by the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).
Methods:
Using in vitro cell cultures, the influence of 2-amino-3-cyanoquinoxaline-1,4-dioxide (2A3CQNX), 3-
methyl-2-quinoxalinecarboxamide-1,4-dioxide (3M2QNXC) and 2-hydroxyphenazine-1,4-dioxide (2HF) was
evaluated in metabolic activity, catalase activity, glutathione and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) quantitation by HPLC
in malignant melanocytes (B16-F10, MeWo) and brain tumor cells (GL-261 and BC3H1) submitted to radiotherapy
treatments (total dose of 6 Gy).
Results:
2HF increased the levels of 3-NT in non-irradiated MeWo and glioma cell lines and decreased cell
viability in these cell lines with and without irradiation.
Conclusions:
Quinoxaline-1,4-dioxides derivatives modulate the oxidative status in malignant melanocytes and
brain tumor cell lines and exhibited a potential radiosensitizer in vitro action on the tested radioresistant cell
lines.

Abstract
Many shreds of evidence have recently correlated A2B receptor antagonism with anticancer activity. Hence, the search for an efficient A2B antagonist may help in the development of a new chemotherapeutic agent. In this article, 23 new derivatives of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline were designed and synthesized and its structures were confirmed by different spectral data and elemental analyses. The results of cytotoxic evaluation of these compounds showed six promising active derivatives with IC50 values ranging from 1.9 to 6.4 μM on MDA-MB 231 cell line. Additionally, molecular docking for all synthesized compounds was performed to predict their binding affinity toward the homology model of A2B receptor as a proposed mode of their cytotoxic activity. Results of molecular docking were strongly correlated with those of the cytotoxic study. Finally, structure activity relationship analyses of the new compounds were explored.

Materials & methods: Using in vitro cell cultures, we evaluated the influence of quinoxaline-1,4-dioxide, 2-methylquinoxaline-1,4-dioxide, 2-amino-3-cyanoquinoxaline-1,4-dioxide, 3-methyl-2-quinoxalinecarboxamide-1,4-dioxide and 2-hydroxyphenazine-N,N-dioxide (2HF) in the viability, migration and proliferation of nonmalignant (3T3-L1 and human dermal microvascular endothelial cell) and malignant (B16-F10, MeWo, GL-261 and BC3H1) cell lines. Results: The viability IC50 concentrations for each quinoxaline-1,4-di-N-oxide derivative were calculated, and a concomitant reduction of migration and proliferation was observed mainly in malignant cell lines. Conclusion: 2HF exhibited potent anti-viability, anti-migration and anti-proliferative actions selectively in tumor cells, nevertheless more studies are required to further investigate 2HF promising biologic effects.

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 series of novel 2-aryl-benzimidazole derivatives of dehydroabietic acid were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analyses. All the target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, HeLa and CT-26 cancer cell lines and the normal hepatocyte cell line QSG-7701 through MTT assays. Among them, compound 6j displayed the most potent cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 0.08 ± 0.01, 0.19 ± 0.04, 0.23 ± 0.05 and 0.42 ± 0.07 μM, respectively, and substantially reduced cytotoxicity against QSG-7701 cells (5.82 ± 0.38 μM). The treatment of SMMC-7721 cells with compound 6j led to considerable inhibition of cell migration ability. The influence of compound 6j on cell cycle distribution was assessed on SMMC-7721 cells, exhibiting a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Moreover, tubulin polymerization assays and immunofluorescence assays elucidated that compound 6j could significantly inhibit tubulin polymerization and disrupt the intracellular microtubule network. A molecular docking study provided insight into the binding mode of compound 6j in the colchicine site of tubulin. In addition, compound 6j was found to induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, an increase of intracellular ROS level and a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in a dose-dependent manner. These findings provided new molecular scaffolds for the further development of novel antitumor agents targeting tubulin polymerization.

Abstract
Cyclophilin J (CyPJ), also called peptidylprolyl isomerase like 3, has been identified as a novel member of the cyclophilin family. Our previous research has resolved the three-dimensional structure of CyPJ and demonstrated the peptidylprolyl cis–trans isomerase (PPIase) activity of CyPJ, which can be inhibited by the common immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A (CsA). Importantly, CyPJ is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and promotes tumor growth; CyPJ inhibition by CsA- or siRNA-based knockdown results in a remarkable suppression of HCC. These findings suggest that CyPJ may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC, and discovery of relevant inhibitors may facilitate development of a novel CyPJ-based targeting therapy. However, apart from the common inhibitor CsA, CyPJ has yet to be investigated as a target for cancer therapy. Here, we report structure-based identification of novel small molecule non-peptidic CyPJ inhibitors and their potential as antitumor lead compounds. Based on computer-aided virtual screening, in silico, and subsequently surface plasmon resonance analysis, 19 potential inhibitors of CyPJ were identified and selected for further evaluation of PPIase CyPJ inhibition in vitro. Thirteen out of 19 compounds exhibited notable inhibition against PPIase activity. Among them, the compound ZX-J-19, with a quinoxaline nucleus, showed potential for tumor inhibition; thus, we selected it for further structure–activity optimization. A total of 22 chemical derivatives with 2,3-substituted quinoxaline-6-amine modifications were designed and successfully synthesized. At least 2 out of the 22 derivatives, such as ZX-J-19j and ZX-J-19l, demonstrated remarkable inhibition of tumor cell growth, comparable to CsA but much stronger than 5-fluorouracil. These results indicate that these two small molecules represent novel potential lead compounds for CyPJ-based antitumor drug development.

Abstract
A diverse natural product-like (NPL) synthetic abietane diterpenoid library containing 86 compounds were obtained and the SARs were studied based on their antibacterial potential. Further in vitro cytotoxic and in silico drug-like properties evaluation showed that the potent antibacterial compound 84 had good drug-like properties and displayed low cytotoxicity toward noncancerous mammalian cells, indicating the study of AA and DHAA might be a good starting point for the search of novel antimicrobial molecules. Future work should be focused on the optimization of their potency and selectivity.
