Molecular Hybrid Design, Synthesis, In Vitro Cytotoxicity, In Silico ADME and Molecular Docking Studies of New Benzoate Ester-Linked Arylsulfonyl Hydrazones. Molecules 2024; 29:3478. [PMID: 39124882 PMCID: PMC11313727 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29153478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In this paper, we present the synthesis and characterization of two known sulfonyl hydrazides (1 and 2) and their new sulfonyl hydrazone derivatives (9-20), as well as in vitro and in silico investigations of their cytotoxic properties against human lung (A549) and human breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines. The target compounds (9-20) obtained in high yields were synthesized for the first time by a multi-step reaction, and their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis and various spectral techniques, including FT-IR, 1H-, and 13C-NMR. The antiproliferative profiles of these compounds (1, 2, and 9-20) in this study were determined at concentrations of 200, 100, 50, and 25 µM against selected cancer cell lines for 72 h using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Except for compounds 1 and 2, other compounds (9-20) demonstrated cytotoxic activity at concentrations lower than 200 µM. The newly synthesized compounds (9-20) demonstrated antiproliferative activities at a micromolar level, with IC50 values in the range of 29.59-176.70 μM for the A549 cell line and 27.70-170.30 μM for the MCF-7 cell line. Among these compounds, compound 15 (IC50 = 29.59 μM against A549 cell line and IC50 = 27.70 μM against MCF-7 cell line) showed the highest cytotoxic activity against these two cancer cell lines compared to the reference drug cisplatin (IC50 = 22.42 μM against A549 cell line and IC50 = 18.01 μM against MCF-7 cell line). From docking simulations, to establish a plausible binding mode of compounds, we noticed that compound 15 demonstrated the highest affinity (-6.8508 kcal/mol) for estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) compared to others, suggesting promising ERbeta binding potential. Most compounds followed Lipinski's rule of five, with acceptable logP values. Additionally, all had mixed gastrointestinal absorption and limited blood-brain barrier permeability. Overall, our study proposed new sulfonyl hydrazones as a potential class of anticancer agents.

Saganuwan SA. Structure-activity relationship of pharmacophores and toxicophores: the need for clinical strategy. Daru 2024:10.1007/s40199-024-00525-y. [PMID: 38935265 DOI: 10.1007/s40199-024-00525-y] [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: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sometimes clinical efficacy and potential risk of therapeutic and toxic agents are difficult to predict over a long period of time. Hence there is need for literature search with a view to assessing cause of toxicity and less efficacy of drugs used in clinical practice. METHOD Hence literatures were searched for physicochemical properties, chemical formulas, molecular masses, pH values, ionization, receptor type, agonist and antagonist, therapeutic, toxic and structure-activity relationship of chemical compounds with pharmacophore and toxicophore, with a view to identifying high efficacious and relative low toxic agents. Inclusion criteria were manuscripts published on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed Central, Google Scholar among others, between 1960 and 2023. Keywords such as pharmacophore, toxicophore, structure-activity-relationship and disease where also searched. The exclusion criteria were the chemicals that lack pharmacophore, toxicophore and manuscripts published before 1960. RESULTS Findings have shown that pharmacophore and toxicophore functional groups determine clinical efficacy and safety of therapeutics, but if they overlap therapeutic and toxicity effects go concurrently. Hence the functional groups, dose, co-administration and concentration of drugs at receptor, drug-receptor binding and duration of receptor binding are the determining factors of pharmacophore and toxicophore activity. Molecular mass, chemical configuration, pH value, receptor affinity and binding capacity, multiple pharmacophores, hydrophilic/lipophilic nature of the chemical contribute greatly to functionality of pharmacophore and toxicophore. CONCLUSION Daily single therapy, avoidance of reversible pharmacology, drugs with covalent adduct, maintenance of therapeutic dose, and the use of multiple pharmacophores for terminal diseases will minimize toxicity and improve efficacy.

Abstract
Dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5), the anhydride of nitric acid, was synthesised by Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville in Paris in 1849 using silver nitrate and chlorine gas. Herein, we revisit, optimise, and modify Deville's method using photocatalysis to enable a safe, clean, practical, and reproducible alternative for N2O5 synthesis in quantitative yields. Moreover, it is predicted that the modifications can accommodate an industrial scale-up, but the silver chloride generated must be recycled.

Abstract
Drinking water disinfection can result in the formation disinfection byproducts (DBPs, > 700 have been identified to date), many of them are reportedly cytotoxic, genotoxic, or developmentally toxic. Analyzing the toxicity levels of these contaminants experimentally is challenging, however, a predictive model could rapidly and effectively assess their toxicity. In this study, machine learning models were developed to predict DBP cytotoxicity based on their chemical information and exposure experiments. The Random Forest model achieved the best performance (coefficient of determination of 0.62 and root mean square error of 0.63) among all the algorithms screened. Also, the results of a probabilistic model demonstrated reliable model predictions. According to the model interpretation, halogen atoms are the most prominent features for DBP cytotoxicity compared to other chemical substructures. The presence of iodine and bromine is associated with increased cytotoxicity levels, while the presence of chlorine is linked to a reduction in cytotoxicity levels. Other factors including chemical substructures (CC, N, CN, and 6-member ring), cell line, and exposure duration can significantly affect the cytotoxicity of DBPs. The similarity calculation indicated that the model has a large applicability domain and can provide reliable predictions for DBPs with unknown cytotoxicity. Finally, this study showed the effectiveness of data augmentation in the scenario of data scarcity.

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal disease caused by infection by the intracellular protist pathogens Leishmania donovani or Leishmania infantum. Present therapies are ineffective because of high costs, variable efficacy against different species, the requirement for hospitalization, toxicity and drug resistance. Detailed analysis of previously published hit molecules suggested a crucial role of 'guanidine' linkage for their efficacy against L. donovani. Here we report the design of 2-aminoquinazoline heterocycle as a basic pharmacophore-bearing guanidine linkage. The introduction of various groups and functionality at different positions of the quinazoline scaffold results in enhanced antiparasitic potency with modest host cell cytotoxicity using a physiologically relevant THP-1 transformed macrophage infection model. In terms of the ADME profile, the C7 position of quinazoline was identified as a guiding tool for designing better molecules. The good ADME profile of the compounds suggests that they merit further consideration as lead compounds for treating visceral leishmaniasis.

Abstract
A series of 28 compounds, 3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole, were synthesized by click-chemistry with diverse substitution patterns using medicinal chemistry approaches, such as bioisosterism, Craig-plot, and the Topliss set with excellent yields. Overall, the analogs demonstrated relevant in vitro antitrypanosomatid activity. Analog 15g (R1 = 4-OCF3-Ph, IC50 = 0.09 μM, SI = >555.5) exhibited an outstanding antichagasic activity (Trypanosoma cruzi, Tulahuen LacZ strain) 68-fold more active than benznidazole (BZN, IC50 = 6.15 μM, SI = >8.13) with relevant selectivity index, and suitable LipE = 5.31. 15g was considered an appropriate substrate for the type I nitro reductases (TcNTR I), contributing to a likely potential mechanism of action for antichagasic activity. Finally, 15g showed nonmutagenic potential against Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA98, TA100, and TA102). Therefore, 3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole 15g is a promising antitrypanosomatid candidate for in vivo studies.

Investigation of the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and antioxidant prospects of JM-20 on human blood cells: A multi-target compound with potential therapeutic applications. Blood Cells Mol Dis 2024; 106:102827. [PMID: 38301450 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcmd.2024.102827] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
JM-20 is a 1,5-benzodiazepine compound fused to a dihydropyridine fraction with different pharmacological properties. However, its potential toxic effects on blood cells have not yet been reported. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate, for the first time, the possible cytotoxicity of JM-20 through cell viability, cell cycle, morphology changes, reactive species (RS) to DCFH-DA, and lipid peroxidation in human leukocytes, its hemolytic effect on human erythrocytes, and its potential DNA genotoxicity using plasmid DNA in vitro. Furthermore, the compound's ability to reduce the DPPH radical was also measured. Human blood was obtained from healthy volunteers (30 ± 10 years old), and the leukocytes or erythrocytes were immediately isolated and treated with different concentrations of JM-20. A cytoprotective effect was exhibited by 10 μM JM-20 against 1 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-but-OOH) in the leukocytes. However, the highest tested concentrations of the compound (20 and 50 μM) changed the morphology and caused a significant decrease in the cell viability of leukocytes (p < 0.05, in comparison with Control). All tested concentrations of JM-20 also resulted in a significant increase in intracellular RS as measured by DCFH-DA in these cells (p < 0.05, in comparison with Control). On the other hand, the results point out a potent antioxidant effect of JM-20, which was similar to the classical antioxidant α-tocopherol. The IC50 value of JM-20 against the lipid peroxidation induced by (FeII) was 1.051 μM ± 0.21, while the IC50 value of α-tocopherol in this parameter was 1.065 μM ± 0.34. Additionally, 50 and 100 μM JM-20 reduced the DPPH radical in a statistically similar way to the 100 μM α-tocopherol (p < 0.05, in comparison with the control). No significant hemolysis in erythrocytes, no cell cycle changes in leukocytes, and no genotoxic effects in plasmid DNA were induced by JM-20 at any tested concentration. The in silico pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of JM-20, derivatives, and nifedipine were also studied. Here, our findings demonstrate that JM-20 and its putative metabolites exhibit similar characteristics to nifedipine, and the in vitro and in silico data support the low toxicity of JM-20 to mammals.

Molecules 2024; 29:490. [PMID: 38276568 PMCID: PMC10820890 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020490] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Extensive research has been dedicated to develop compounds that can target multiple aspects of Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment due to a growing understanding of AD's complex multifaceted nature and various interconnected pathological pathways. In the present study, a series of biological assays were performed to evaluate the potential of the tryptamine analogues synthesized earlier in our lab as multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs) for AD. To assess the inhibitory effects of the compounds, various in vitro assays were employed. Three compounds, SR42, SR25, and SR10, displayed significant AChE inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.70 µM, 0.17 µM, and 1.00 µM, respectively. These values superseded the standard drug donepezil (1.96 µM). In the MAO-B inhibition assay, SR42 (IC50 = 43.21 µM) demonstrated superior inhibitory effects as compared to tryptamine and other derivatives. Moreover, SR22 (84.08%), SR24 (79.30%), and SR42 (75.16%) exhibited notable percent inhibition against the COX-2 enzyme at a tested concentration of 100 µM. To gain insights into their binding mode and to validate the biological results, molecular docking studies were conducted. Overall, the results suggest that SR42, a 4,5 nitro-benzoyl derivative of tryptamine, exhibited significant potential as a MTDL and warrants further investigation for the development of anti-Alzheimer agents.

Synthesis and Pro-Apoptotic Effects of Nitrovinylanthracenes and Related Compounds in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) and Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL). Molecules 2023; 28:8095. [PMID: 38138584 PMCID: PMC10746112 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28248095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a malignancy of the immune B lymphocyte cells and is the most common leukaemia diagnosed in developed countries. In this paper, we report the synthesis and antiproliferative effects of a series of (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracenes and related nitrostyrene compounds in CLL cell lines and also in Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cell lines, a rare form of non-Hodgkin's immune B-cell lymphoma. The nitrostyrene scaffold was identified as a lead structure for the development of effective compounds targeting BL and CLL. The series of structurally diverse nitrostyrenes was synthesised via Henry-Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Single-crystal X-ray analysis confirmed the structure of (E)-9-chloro-10-(2-nitrobut-1-en-1-yl)anthracene (19f) and the related 4-(anthracen-9-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (30a). The (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracenes 19a, 19g and 19i-19m were found to elicit potent antiproliferative effects in both BL cell lines EBV-MUTU-1 (chemosensitive) and EBV+ DG-75 (chemoresistant) with >90% inhibition at 10 μM. Selected (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracenes demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity in CLL cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.17 μM (HG-3) and 1.3 μM (PGA-1) for compound 19g. The pro-apoptotic effects of the most potent compounds 19a, 19g, 19i, 19l and 19m were demonstrated in both CLL cell lines HG-3 and PGA-1. The (E)-nitrostyrene and (E)-9-(2-nitrovinyl)anthracene series of compounds offer potential for further development as novel chemotherapeutics for CLL.

Abstract
Thirty-nine aryl azoles, thirteen triazoles and twenty-seven tetrazoles, have been synthetized and biologically evaluated to determine their activity as tumor microenvironment disruptors. Antiproliferative studies have been performed on tumor cell lines HT-29, A-549 and MCF-7 and on non-tumor cell line HEK-293. It has been studied in HT-29 the expression levels of biological targets which are involved in tumor microenvironment processes, such as PD-L1, CD-47, c-Myc and VEGFR-2. In addition, antiproliferative activity was evaluated when HT-29 were co-cultured with THP-1 monocytes and the secretion levels of IL-6 were also determined in these co-cultures. The angiogenesis effect of some selected compounds on HMEC-1 was also evaluated as well as their action against vasculogenic mimicry on HEK-293. Compounds bearing an amino group in the phenyl ring and a halogen atom in the benzyl ring showed promising results as tumor microenvironment disrupting agents. The most outstanding compound decrease dramatically the population of HT-29 cells when co-cultured with THP-1 monocytes and the levels of IL-6 secreted, as well as it showed moderate effects over PD-L1, CD-47 and c-Myc.

Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds represent one of the essential classes of molecules that are widely used as feedstock for the synthesis of intermediates, the preparation of nitro-derived pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials on both laboratory and industrial scales. We herein disclose the efficient, mild, and catalytic ipso-nitration of organotrimethylsilanes, enabled by an electrophilic N-nitrosaccharin reagent and allows chemoselective nitration under mild reaction conditions, while exhibiting remarkable substrate generality and functional group compatibility. Additionally, the reaction conditions proved to be orthogonal to other common functionalities, allowing programming of molecular complexity via successive transformations or late-stage nitration. Detailed mechanistic investigation by experimental and computational approaches strongly supported a classical electrophilic aromatic substitution (SE Ar) mechanism, which was found to proceed through a highly ordered transition state.

Abstract
From thermoelectrochemical experiments and electronic structure calculations of a series of nitrobenzyl alcohol derivatives, the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) on the electron transfer thermodynamics is discussed on a molecular basis. A linear correlation between formal reduction potential (E1/2) values and temperature was obtained for the temperature range from 300 to 350 K. Estimated electron transfer entropy values (ΔS)─determined from this dependence─and the enthalpy (ΔΔH) changes relative to o-nitrobenzyl alcohol confirmed that the effect of the formation of IHB proved to be decisive in the charge-transfer thermodynamics. The possibility of intermolecular hydrogen bonding is further discussed upon comparing thermodynamic data among three different solvents.

Abstract
By exploiting the wide biological potential of the hydrazone scaffold, a series of hydrazone derivatives were synthesized, starting from N-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (metacetamol). The structures of the compounds were determined using IR, 1 H and 13 C-NMR, and mass spectroscopic methods. The obtained molecules (3 a-j) were evaluated for their anticancer potential against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. According to the CCK-8 assay, all tested compounds showed moderate to potent anticancer activity. Among them, N-(3-(2-(2-(4-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-2-oxoethoxy)phenyl)acetamide (3 e) was found to be the most effective derivative with an IC50 value of 9.89 μM against MDA-MB-231 cell lines. This compound was further tested for its potential effects on the apoptotic pathway. Molecular docking studies was also carried out for 3 e in the colchicine binding pocket of tubulin. Additionally, compound 3 e also demonstrated effective antifungal activity, particularly against Candida krusei (MIC=8 μg/ml), indicating that nitro group at the 4th position of the phenyl ring was the most preferable substituent for both cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity. Our preliminary findings suggest that compound 3 e could be exploited as a leading structure for further anticancer and antifungal drug development.

Abstract
Regiochemical aspects and the molecular mechanism of the [3 + 2] cycloaddition between nitrous oxide and conjugated nitroalkenes were evaluated on the basis of the wb97xd/6-311 + G(d) (PCM) computational study. It was found that, independently of the nature of the nitroalkene, all considered processes are realized via polar, single-step mechanisms. All attempts at the localization of hypothetical zwitterionic intermediates were unsuccessful. Additionally, the DFT computational study suggested that, in the course of the reaction, the formation of respective Δ2-4-nitro-4-R1-5-R2-1-oxa-2,3-diazolines was preferred from the kinetic point of view.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural stilbene polyphenolic compound found in several plant species. It is characterized by antioxidant properties, and its role in controlling viral replication has been demonstrated for different viral infections. Despite its promising antiviral properties, RSV biological activity is limited by its low bioavailability and high metabolic rate. In this study, we optimized its structure by synthesizing new RSV derivatives that maintained the phenolic scaffold and contained different substitution patterns and evaluated their potential anti-influenza virus activity. The results showed that viral protein synthesis decreased 24 h post infection; particularly, the nitro-containing compounds strongly reduced viral replication. The molecules did not exert their antioxidant properties during infection; in fact, they were not able to rescue the virus-induced drop in GSH content or improve the antioxidant response mediated by the Nrf2 transcription factor and G6PD enzyme. Similar to what has already been reported for RSV, they interfered with the nuclear-cytoplasmic traffic of viral nucleoprotein, probably inhibiting cellular kinases involved in the regulation of specific steps of the virus life cycle. Overall, the data indicate that more lipophilic RSV derivatives have improved antiviral efficacy compared with RSV and open the way for new cell-targeted antiviral strategies.
