Rouzi K, Altay A, Bouatia M, Yeniçeri E, Islam MS, Oulmidi A, El Karbane M, Karrouchi K. Novel isoniazid-hydrazone derivatives induce cell growth inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via mitochondria-dependent caspase activation and PI3K/AKT inhibition. Bioorg Chem 2024; 150:107563. [PMID: 38885547 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107563] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
In this study, seven isoniazid-hydrazone derivatives (3a-g) were synthesized and their structures elucidated by chromatographic techniques, and then the antiproliferative effects of these compounds on various cancer cells were tested. The advanced anticancer mechanism of the most potent compound was then investigated. Antiproliferative activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated on human breast cancer MCF-7, lung cancer A-549, colon cancer HT-29, and non-cancerous mouse fibroblast 3T3-L1 cell lines by XTT assay. Flow cytometry analysis were carried out to determine cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, multi-caspase activity, and expression of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The XTT results showed that all the title molecules displayed cytotoxic activity at varying strengths in different dose ranges, and among them, the strongest cytotoxic effect and high selectivity were exerted by 3d against MCF-7 cells with the IC50 value of 11.35 µM and selectivity index of 8.65. Flow cytometry results revealed that compound 3d induced apoptosis through mitochondrial membrane disruption and multi-caspase activation in MCF-7 cells. It also inhibited the cell proliferation via inhibition of expression of PI3K/AKT and arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. In conclusion, all these data disclosed that among the synthesized compounds, 3d is notable for in vivo anticancer studies.

Abstract
Dynamic bonds can facilitate reversible formation and dissociation of connections in response to external stimuli, endowing materials with shape memory and self-healing capabilities. Temperature is an external stimulus that can be easily controlled through heat. Dynamic covalent bonds in response to temperature can reversibly connect, exchange, and convert chains in the polymer. In this review, we introduce dynamic covalent bonds that operate without catalysts in various temperature ranges. The basic bonding mechanism and the kinetics are examined to understand dynamic covalent chemistry reversibly performed by equilibrium control. Furthermore, a recent synthesis method that implements dynamic covalent coupling based on various polymers is introduced. Dynamic covalent bonds that operate depending on temperature can be applied and expand the use of polymers, providing predictions for the development of future smart materials.

Abstract
Background Therapeutic proteins and peptides offer great advantages compared to traditional synthetic molecular drugs. However, stable protein loading and precise control of protein release pose significant challenges due to the extensive range of physicochemical properties inherent to proteins. The development of a comprehensive protein delivery strategy becomes imperative accounting for the diverse nature of therapeutic proteins. Methods Biodynamers are amphiphilic proteoid dynamic polymers consisting of amino acid derivatives connected through pH-responsive dynamic covalent chemistry. Taking advantage of the amphiphilic nature of the biodynamers, PNCs and DEs were possible to be prepared and investigated to compare the delivery efficiency in drug loading, stability, and cell uptake. Results As a result, the optimized PNCs showed 3-fold encapsulation (<90%) and 5-fold loading capacity (30%) compared to DE-NPs. PNCs enhanced the delivery efficiency into the cells but aggregated easily on the cell membrane due to the limited stability. Although DE-NPs were limited in loading capacity compared to PNCs, they exhibit superior adaptability in stability and capacity for delivering a wider range of proteins compared to PNCs. Conclusion Our study highlights the potential of formulating both PNCs and DE-NPs using the same biodynamers, providing a comparative view on protein delivery efficacy using formulation methods.

Abstract
Zinc methyl 3-hydroxymethyl-pyropheophorbides-a possessing an acylhydrazinylidene group at the 131-position were prepared by chemically modifying chlorophyll-a, which were models of bacteriochlorophyll-d as one of the light-harvesting pigments in photosynthetic green bacteria. Similar to the self-aggregation of natural bacteriochlorophyll-d in the antenna systems called chlorosomes, some of the synthetic models self-aggregated in an aqueous Triton X-100 solution to give red-shifted and broadened visible absorption bands. The newly appeared oligomeric bands were ascribable to the exciton coupling of the chlorin π-systems along the molecular y-axis, leading to intense circular dichroism bands in the red-shifted Qy and Soret regions. The self-aggregation in the aqueous micelle was dependent on the steric size of the terminal substituent at the 13-acylhydrazone moiety. An increase in the length of the oligomethylene chain as the terminal moved the red-shifted Qy maxima to shorter wavelengths, and branched alkyl and benzyl substitutes afforded no more self-aggregates to leave monomeric species in the hydrophobic environment inside the micelle. These results indicated that the acyl groups on the 13-hydrazone as the alternative of the natural 13-ketone regulated the chlorosome-like self-aggregation.

Abstract
RAGE is a transmembrane receptor of immunoglobulin family that can bind various endogenous and exogenous ligands, initiating the inflammatory downstream signaling pathways, including inflammaging. Therefore, RAGE represents an attractive drug target for age-related diseases. For the development of small-molecule RAGE antagonists, we employed protein-templated dynamic combinatorial chemistry (ptDCC) using RAGE's VC1 domain as a template, the first application of this approach in the context of RAGE. The affinities of DCC hits were validated using microscale thermophoresis. Subsequent screening against AGE2 (glyceraldehyde-modified AGE)-sRAGE (solubleRAGE) (AGE2-BSA/sRAGE) interaction using ELISA tests led to the identification of antagonists with micromolar potency. Our findings not only demonstrate the successful application of ptDCC on RAGE but also highlight its potential to address the pressing need for alternative strategies for the development of small-molecule RAGE antagonists, an area of research that has experienced a slowdown in recent years.

Abstract
As a new approach to the management of inflammatory disorders, a series of chromone-based derivatives containing a (carbamate)hydrazone moiety was designed and synthesized. The compounds were assessed for their ability to inhibit COX-1/2, 15-LOX, and mPGES-1, as a combination that should effectively impede the arachidonate pathway. Results revealed that the benzylcarbazates (2a-c) demonstrated two-digit nanomolar COX-2 inhibitory activities with reasonable selectivity indices. They also showed appreciable 15-LOX inhibition, in comparison to quercetin. Further testing of these compounds for mPGES-1 inhibition displayed promising activities. Intriguingly, compounds 2a-c were capable of suppressing edema in the formalin-induced rat paw edema assay. They exhibited an acceptable gastrointestinal safety profile regarding ulcerogenic liabilities in gross and histopathological examinations. Additionally, upon treatment with the test compounds, the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was elevated, whereas that of TNF-α, iNOS, IL-1β, and COX-2 were downregulated in LPS-challenged RAW264.7 macrophages. Docking experiments into the three enzymes showed interesting binding profiles and affinities, further substantiating their biological activities. Their in silico physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters were advantageous.

Abstract
Six aroylhydrazone di-m-chlorobenzyltin complexes {[X-C6H4(O)C=N-N=C(Me)COO](MeOH)(m-Cl-C6H4CH2)2Sn}2 (X = p-Me- (1), p-MeO- (2), p-t-Bu- (3), p-NO2- (4), p-OH- (5) or o-OH- (6)) were synthesized and characterized by HRMS (high-resolution mass spectrometry), NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy), IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) techniques. The molecular structure of complexes 1-6 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The structure of complexes showed a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal configuration around the tin atom center, and the ligands adopted a tridentate chelating mode. Fascinatingly, either one-dimensional infinite chain structures or two-dimensional network structures were observed in the complexes through hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 has the strongest inhibitory effect on MCF7 and HepG2 cell proliferation, its effect was superior to that of the positive control drug cisplatin. The interaction of ct-DNA (calf-thymus DNA) with complex 2 was explored using UV absorption (ultraviolet absorption) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Complex 2 exhibited a moderate affinity for ct-DNA through intercalation modes. The interaction of complex 2 with ct-DNA has also been supported by molecular docking studies.

Abstract
Acyl hydrazones are a class of synthetically important organic compounds that are recurrently in high demand for synthesis and use in various fields of chemistry and biology. We report the first Co(II) catalyzed one-component one-pot sustainable synthesis of acyl hydrazones only from acyl hydrazides under mild reaction conditions. Traditional and contemporary methodologies use two components (usually acyl hydrazides and aldehydes/ketones/alcohols/styrene) as the coupling partners. Our protocol, on the other hand, involves the in situ generation of aldehyde intermediate (detected by gas chromatography) from the acyl hydrazide, which then undergoes condensation with another molecule of the same acyl hydrazide in the same pot to yield acyl hydrazones in presence of mild base K2 CO3 and low-cost Co(OAc)2 ⋅ 4H2 O as catalyst. This method shows good functional group tolerance with good to excellent yield of products. Furthermore, some of the resulting acyl hydrazones have been used as synthetic precursors and explored in various post-synthetic modifications to afford N-heterocyclic compounds. Furthermore, photoswitchable properties of few synthesized acyl hydrazones are also explored using their E/Z isomerization around the C=N bond, as realized by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV-vis spectroscopic studies.

Abstract
Viral replication often depends on RNA maturation and degradation processes catalyzed by viral ribonucleases, which are therefore candidate targets for antiviral drugs. Here, we synthesized and studied the antiviral properties of a novel nitrocatechol compound (1c) and other analogs that are structurally related to the catechol derivative dynasore. Interestingly, compound 1c strongly inhibited two DEDD box viral ribonucleases, HIV-1 RNase H and SARS-CoV-2 nsp14 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease (ExoN). While 1c inhibited SARS-CoV-2 ExoN activity, it did not interfere with the mRNA methyltransferase activity of nsp14. In silico molecular docking placed compound 1c in the catalytic pocket of the ExoN domain of nsp14. Finally, 1c inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication but had no toxicity to human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Given its simple chemical synthesis from easily available starting materials, these results suggest that 1c might be a lead compound for the design of new antiviral compounds that target coronavirus nsp14 ExoN and other viral ribonucleases.

Identification of N-Acyl Hydrazones as New Non-Zinc-Binding MMP-13 Inhibitors by Structure-Based Virtual Screening Studies and Chemical Optimization. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11098.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase 13 plays a central role in osteoarthritis (OA), as its overexpression induces an excessive breakdown of collagen that results in an imbalance between collagen synthesis and degradation in the joint, leading to progressive articular cartilage degradation. Therefore, MMP-13 has been proposed as a key therapeutic target for OA. Here we have developed a virtual screening workflow aimed at identifying selective non-zinc-binding MMP-13 inhibitors by targeting the deep S1' pocket of MMP-13. Three ligands were found to inhibit MMP-13 in the µM range, and one of these showed selectivity over other MMPs. A structure-based analysis guided the chemical optimization of the hit compound, leading to the obtaining of a new N-acyl hydrazone-based derivative with improved inhibitory activity and selectivity for the target enzyme.

Isoniazid-N-acylhydrazones as promising compounds for the anti-tuberculosis treatment. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2023; 141:102363. [PMID: 37311289 DOI: 10.1016/j.tube.2023.102363] [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: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, still presents significant numbers of incidence and mortality, in addition to several cases of drug resistance. Resistance, especially to isoniazid, which is one of the main drugs used in the treatment, has increased. In this context, N-acylhydrazones derived from isoniazid have shown important anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity. Hence, this work aimed to determine the anti-TB potential of 11 isoniazid-N-acylhydrazones (INH-acylhydrazones). For this purpose, the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and clinical isolates was carried out. Drug combination, minimum bactericidal concentration, cytotoxicity, and in silico parameters were also performed. INH-acylhydrazones (2), (8), and (9) had MIC for M. tuberculosis H37Rv similar to or lower than isoniazid, and bactericidal activity was observed. In addition, these compounds showed low cytotoxicity, with a selectivity index greater than 3,000. Interesting results were also obtained in the drug combination assay, with synergistic combinations with isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifampicin. In the in silico study, INH-acylhydrazones behaved similarly to INH, but with improvements in some aspects. Based on these findings, it is concluded that compounds (2), (8), and (9) are considered promising scaffolds and warrant further investigation for designing future antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Fungal and viral diseases account for 70-80% of agricultural production losses caused by microbial diseases. Synthetic fungicides and antiviral agents have been used to treat plant diseases caused by plant pathogenic fungi and viruses, but their use has been criticized due to their adverse side effects. As alternative strategies, natural fungicides and antiviral agents have attracted many researchers' interest in recent years. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of novel polycarpine simplified analogues. Antiviral activity research against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) revealed that most of the designed compounds have good antiviral activities. The virucidal activities of 4, 6d, 6f, 6h, and 8c are higher than that of polycarpine and similar to that of ningnanmycin. The structure simplified compound 8c was selected for further antiviral mechanism research which showed that compound 8c could inhibit the formation of 20S protein discs by acting on TMV coat protein. These compounds also displayed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities against 7 kinds of plant fungi. This work lays the foundation for the application of polycarpine simplified analogues in crop protection.
