Abstract
Imidazothiazole derivatives are becoming increasingly important in therapeutic use due to their outstanding physiological activities. Recently, applying imidazothiazole as the core, researchers have synthesized a series of derivatives with biological effects such as antitumor, anti-infection, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In this review, we summarize the main pharmacological effects and pharmacological mechanisms of imidazothiazole derivates; the contents summarized herein are intended to advance the research and rational development of imidazothiazole-based drugs in the future.

Antioxidant Activity Evaluation and Assessment of the Binding Affinity to HSA of a New Catechol Hydrazinyl-Thiazole Derivative. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11071245. [PMID: 35883736 PMCID: PMC9312188 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11071245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Polyphenols have attained pronounced attention due to their ability to provide numerous health benefits and prevent several chronic diseases. In this study, we designed, synthesized and analyzed a water-soluble molecule presenting a good antioxidant activity, namely catechol hydrazinyl-thiazole (CHT). This molecule contains 3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl and 2-hydrazinyl-4-methyl-thiazole moieties linked through a hydrazone group with very good antioxidant activity in the in vitro evaluations performed. A preliminary validation of the CHT developing hypothesis was performed evaluating in silico the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) of the phenol O-H bonds, compared to our previous findings in the compounds previously reported by our group. In this paper, we report the binding mechanism of CHT to human serum albumin (HSA) using biophysical methods in combination with computational studies. ITC experiments reveal that the dominant forces in the binding mechanism are involved in the hydrogen bond or van der Waals interactions and that the binding was an enthalpy-driven process. NMR relaxation measurements were applied to study the CHT–protein interaction by changing the drug concentration in the solution. A molecular docking study added an additional insight to the experimental ITC and NMR analysis regarding the binding conformation of CHT to HSA.

Novel α-Aminophosphonates and α-Aminophosphonic Acids: Synthesis, Molecular Docking and Evaluation of Antifungal Activity against Scedosporium Species. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27123886. [PMID: 35745009 PMCID: PMC9229981 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27123886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The Scedosporium genus is an emerging pathogen with worldwide prevalence and high mortality rates that gives multidrug resistance to antifungals; therefore, pharmacological alternatives must be sought for the treatment of diseases caused by this fungus. In the present project, six new α-aminophosphates were synthesized by the Kabachnik–Fields multicomponent reaction by vortex agitation, and six new monohydrolyzed α-aminophosphonic acids were synthesized by an alkaline hydrolysis reaction. Antifungal activity was evaluated using the agar diffusion method as an initial screening to determine the most active compound compared to voriconazole; then it was evaluated against 23 strains of the genus Scedosporium following the M38-A2 protocol from CLSI (activity range: 648.76–700 µg/mL). Results showed that compound 5f exhibited the highest antifungal activity according to the agar diffusion method (≤1 mg/mL). Cytotoxicity against healthy COS-7 cells was also evaluated by the MTT assay and it was shown that compound 5f exhibits a lower toxicity in comparison to voriconazole at the same concentration (1000 µM). A docking study was conducted afterwards, showing that the possible mechanism of action of the compound is through the inhibition of allosteric 14-α-demethylase. Taking these results as a basis, 5f is presented as a compound with attractive properties for further studies.

Synthesis of Novel Thiazole Derivatives Bearing β-Amino Acid and Aromatic Moieties as Promising Scaffolds for the Development of New Antibacterial and Antifungal Candidates Targeting Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 27:molecules27010074. [PMID: 35011308 PMCID: PMC8746625 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27010074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Rapidly growing antimicrobial resistance among clinically important bacterial and fungal pathogens accounts for high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, it is critical to look for new small molecules targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens. Herein, in this paper we report a synthesis, ADME properties, and in vitro antimicrobial activity characterization of novel thiazole derivatives bearing β-amino acid, azole, and aromatic moieties. The in silico ADME characterization revealed that compounds 1-9 meet at least 2 Lipinski drug-like properties while cytotoxicity studies demonstrated low cytotoxicity to Vero cells. Further in vitro antimicrobial activity characterization showed the selective and potent bactericidal activity of 2a-c against Gram-positive pathogens (MIC 1-64 µg/mL) with profound activity against S. aureus (MIC 1-2 µg/mL) harboring genetically defined resistance mechanisms. Furthermore, the compounds 2a-c exhibited antifungal activity against azole resistant A. fumigatus, while only 2b and 5a showed antifungal activity against multidrug resistant yeasts including Candida auris. Collectively, these results demonstrate that thiazole derivatives 2a-c and 5a could be further explored as a promising scaffold for future development of antifungal and antibacterial agents targeting highly resistant pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thiazole is a good pharmacophore nucleus due to its various pharmaceutical applications. Its derivatives have a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, analgesic, and antimicrobial including antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, anticancer, antiallergic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and antipsychotic. Indeed, the thiazole scaffold is contained in more than 18 FDA-approved drugs as well as in numerous experimental drugs. OBJECTIVE To summarize recent literature on the biological activities of thiazole ring-containing compounds Methods: A literature survey regarding the topics from the year 2015 up to now was carried out. Older publications were not included, since they were previously analyzed in available peer reviews. RESULTS Nearly 124 research articles were found, critically analyzed, and arranged regarding the synthesis and biological activities of thiazoles derivatives in the last 5 years.
