ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: 2-Amino thiophene derivatives are important compounds not only for their uses in many heterocyclic reactions but also due to their wide range of pharmaceutical and biological activities. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work was to explore a number of new heterocyclic derivatives, studying their inhibitions toward cancer cell lines and studying their structure activity relation ship. METHODS: Alkylation of 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile was achieved through its reaction with chloroacetone and 2-bromo-1-(4-aryl)ethanone derivatives to give compounds 3 and 11a-c. The produced compoumds were subjected to further heterocylization reactions and cytotoxic evaluation against the three cancer cell lines MCF-7, NCI-H460 and SF-268, together with the normal cell line WI 38. Further evaluations were obtained through studying their inhibitions against cancer cell lines classified according to the disease. Anticancer screening against hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and cervical carcinoma HeLa cell lines for all compounds together with the molecular docking of 12c, 12d, 12e and 12f were studied. RESULTS: Anti-proliferative evaluations and inhibitions for all of the synthesized compounds showed that many compounds exhibited high inhibitions. CONCLUSION: Toward the three cancer cell lines, compounds 3, 5a, 7a, 9a, 9b, 11b, 12b, 12d, 12e, 12f, 14c, 14e, 14f, 15e, 15f, 16e, 16f, 17c, 18b, 22a and 22c were the most cytotoxic compounds. The high activities of some compounds were attributed to the presence of the electronegative CN and or Cl groups within the molecule. Most of the tested compounds exhibited inhibitions higher than the reference doxorubicin toward hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and cervical carcinoma HeLa cell lines. The score of binding energy of compounds 12c, 12d, 12e and 12f was close to the reference Foretinib which appeared through the molecular docking results of such compounds.

ABSTRACT

A number of illegal amphetamine tablets were seized from three different cities of Jazan province of southern Saudi Arabia and were analyzed for amphetamine and methamphetamine contents using LC-MS/MS technique. Analyses were performed using a previously reported method taking 0.1 M ammonium formate buffer (85%) and 15% acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase with a total runtime of 12 min. This method was successfully applied for the routine analysis of amphetamine and methamphetamine in the seized tablets using amphetamine-D5 and methamphetamine-D5 as internal standards. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to establish the similarity between samples. The retention times (RT) for internal standard, amphetamine and methamphetamine were observed to be within 6.0-7.1 min. Ten tablet samples from each city were subjected to analysis and the amount of amphetamine in all the samples were found to be in the range of 9.07-14.77 mg, whereas, the amount of methamphetamine ranged from 0.12 to 0.24 mg in each tablet. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed presence of five clusters of samples indicating different characteristics and possible sources of amphetamine tablets. The largest cluster consisted of 15 samples which are expected to be of the same origin. Both amphetamine and methamphetamine are considered to be illegal products and their illegal trade and use is banned in many countries including Saudi Arabia. Therefore, there is an urgent need of strict regulations worldwide to check the illicit trafficking of these psychoactive substances and should be considered on priority.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Among the wide range of heterocycles, tetrahydrobenzothienopyridine derivatives acquired a special attention due to their wide range of pharmacological activities especially the therapeutic activities. Many pharmacological drugs containing the thiophene nucleus were known in the market. METHOD: A series of tetrahydrobenzothienopyridine derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of 2-amino- 3-benzoyl-4,5-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophen-6(7H)-one, synthesized and used for further heterocyclization reactions through reaction with different reagents. RESULTS: Antiproliferative evaluations and c-Met kinase, Pim-1 kinase inhibitions were performed where some compounds revealed high activities. CONCLUSION: The inhibition of the newly synthesized compounds towards c-Met kinase, the five c-Metdependent cancer cell lines (A549, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC-7721) and one c-Met-independent cancer cell line (H460) were investigated using foretinib as a standard drug. The results showed that compounds 6b, 7e, 9b, 9e, 16c and 20d were more active than foretinib. Furthermore, compounds 6b, 13b, 16b and 16c were selected to examine their Pim-1 kinase inhibition activity, where compounds 16b and 16c were of high potencies with IC50 values of 0.28 and 0.32 µM, while compounds 6b and 13b were less effective (IC50 > 10 µM).

ABSTRACT

Condensation of beta-amino-alpha,gamma-dicyanocrotononitrile (1) with acetophenone gave 2-amino-4-phenylpenta-1,3-diene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile (2). The latter product was used in a series of heterocyclization reactions with different reagents such as diazonium salts, hydrazines, hydroxylamines and elemental sulfur to give pyridazine, pyrazole, isoxazole and thiophene derivatives, respectively. On the other hand, it gave pyridine derivatives with aromatic aldehydes folowed by reaction with cyanomethylene reagents. The MIC values for the newly synthesized product were measured against E. coli, B. cereus, B. subtilis and C. albicans.
