RESUMEN
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.

In this study, we investigated the in vitro antiproliferative activities and performed computational studies of newly synthesized fluorinated isatin-hydrazones. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, 1D NMR (1H- and 13C NMR and APT), 2D NMR (HETCOR and HMBC), and elemental analysis. All compounds (1-15) were tested in human lung (A549) and liver (HepG2) cancer cell lines for 72 h. The compounds were screened against a healthy embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293T) under the same conditions to determine their toxic effects. According to the results obtained, one of the compounds, in particular, compound 8 was effective at inhibiting the growth of cancerous cells, and its effects on both cancer cell lines were similar to IC50 values of 42.43 and 48.43 µM for A549 and HepG2, respectively. Compound 8, which was determined to be the best anticancer agent in vitro, was chosen to interact with the target via molecular docking. This selected ligand (compound 8) interacted with the targets 4HJO, 4ASD, 3POZ, and 7TZ7, and docked into the active sites. The docking score, Glide energy, and Glide emodel values were calculated and determined to be lower than those of the reference compound cisplatin. The pharmacokinetic properties, stability, and drug-likeness parameters of all designed compounds were estimated using SwissADME. Finally, the binding affinities of compound 8 for all four targets were calculated using the MM-GBSA method.
RESUMEN
Cancer is a life-threatening disease, and significant efforts are still being made to treat it. In this study, we synthesized and characterized novel hybrid molecules (10-18) containing hydrazone and sulfonate moieties and tested their cell growth inhibitory effect on human colon cancer cells (DLD-1), human prostate cancer cells (PC3), and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293T) using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method for 72 h. In cell culture studies, all tested hybrid molecules except for 12 and 13 showed significant cytotoxic activities at a micromolar level with IC50 values in the range of 10.28-214.0 µM for the PC3 cell line and 13.49-144.30 µM for the DLD-1 cell line. Compounds 4 (10.28 µM) and 5 (11.22 µM) demonstrated the highest cytotoxicity against the PC3 cell line. Against the DLD-1 cell line, compounds 1 (22.53 µM), 4 (13.49 µM), 5 (19.33 µM), 6 (17.82 µM), 8 (24.71 µM), 9 (17.56 µM), and 10 (17.90 µM) in the series showed anticancer activity at lower micromolar levels compared to cisplatin (26.70 µM). Moreover, the study was handled computationally, and molecular docking studies were performed for compounds 1, 4, and 5 for PC3-FAK and PC3-Scr and compounds 4, 6, and 9 for the DLD-1-TNKS target. In this study, compound 4 was found to be the most effective and promising molecule for both targets.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer, also known as a silent killer, is the deadliest gynecological cancer in women worldwide. Epithelial ovarian cancers constitute the majority of ovarian cancers, and diagnosis can be made in advanced stages, which greatly reduces the likelihood of treatment and lowers the survival rate. For the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancers, the search for synthetic agents as well as agents of natural origin continues. The effects of 1-(2-cyanobenzyl)-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-3-ium chloride (BD), a benzimidazole derivative, were investigated on epithelial ovarian cancer cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: In our study, the effects of BD on proliferation, colony formation, cell death by apoptosis and the cell cycle in A2780 and A2780 Adriamycin (ADR) ovarian cancer cell lines were investigated. Proliferation was examined with cell viability analysis, colony formation and apoptosis with Annexin V staining and cell cycle analyses with PI staining, respectively. As a result of the analyses, BD inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation, induced apoptosis and cell death at 48 h in A2780 and A2780 ADR cells at 10.10 and 10.36 µM concentrations, respectively. In addition, A2780 and A2780ADR cells were arrested in the Sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle. CONCLUSIONS: BD suppresses cancer cell progression by showing antiproliferative effects on ovarian cancer cells. Further analyses are required to determine the mechanism of action of this agent and to demonstrate its potential as a suitable candidate for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer.

Cancer is a global public health problem affecting millions of people every year. New anticancer drug candidates are needed to overcome the resistance to drugs used in the treatment of various types of cancer. In this study, two new series of benzenesulfonate-based thymol derivatives (14-19 and 20-25) were synthesized for the first time as promising chemotherapeutic agents and characterized using FT-IR, 1D NMR (1H- and 13C-NMR, APT, DEPT 135), 2D NMR (HETCOR and HMBC), and elemental analysis (CHNS). Antiproliferative activity of the molecules was determined against cancer cell lines, namely, the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) and the colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (DLD-1), using MTT method for both 48 and 72 h. Compounds (14-25) showed cytotoxic activities against A549 with IC50 values ranging from 9.98 to 81.83 µM, respectively, compared to cisplatin (6.65 µM). These compounds exhibited antiproliferative activities against DLD-1 cancer cells at concentrations ranging from 4.29 to 53.62 µM, respectively, compared to cisplatin (9.91 µM). Especially, compound 16 displayed significant cytotoxicity on A549 and DLD-1 cancer cells with IC50 values of 9.98 and 10.75 µM, respectively. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed with Bcl-2, VEGFR-2, EGFR, and HER2 targets using the Schrödinger 2021-2 Maestro Glide program. The binding energy values and binding interactions of compounds 16 and 22 were determined to be the result of their interactions with these targets. Schrödinger 2021-2 Qikprop wizard drug similarity ratios and ADME prediction of all compounds 14-25 were also calculated.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
RESUMEN
Three new thymol-based molecules were synthesized and evaluated as anticancer, antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. Liver, colon, lung and prostate cancer cell lines were utilized in cytotoxicity tests. The results demonstrated that synthesized molecules had a cytotoxic effect against the screened cell lines. One of the molecules (4a) was found to have a higher efficacy towards the colon cancer cell line (DLD-1) with an IC50 value of 12.39 µM and the other (4c) towards the prostate cancer cell line (PC3) with an IC50 value of 7.67 µM than the positive control drug cisplatin. To assess the antimicrobial activity of molecules (4a-c), Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and yeast were subjected to agar disc diffusion and broth microdilution assays. The investigation of antioxidant potential was conducted using the DPPH radical scavenging activity assay. While all compounds displayed strong cytotoxic and antioxidant properties, they exhibited only moderate antimicrobial activity. Molecular docking studies were performed on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), focal adhesion kinase (FAK), B-Raf and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). The binding energies and interactions obtained from the docking results of compounds (4a-c) supported the experimental results. Drug similarity rates and pharmacokinetic properties were analyzed with the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) method. Geometric parameters such as chemical potential (µ), electrophilicity index (ω) and chemical softness (σ) of compounds (4a-c) were calculated using the 6-31*G basis set B3LYP method.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

RESUMEN
Cancer is a global public health problem that affects millions each year. Novel anticancer drug candidates are in need to treat various cancers and to overcome the resistance that exists against drugs in use. Benzimidazole derivatives have been reported as anticancer agents. These lead us to synthesize similar benzimidazole derivatives and investigate their anticancer activity. In this study, six new 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one-based molecules (2a-f) were synthesized. The structures of these molecules were verified by spectroscopic methods. The antiproliferative activities of molecules 2a-f were screened against a panel of human cancer cell lines, including the liver, colon, lung, and breast. The molecules were also tested towards normal human lung cell line to determine their selectivity. The results demonstrated that compound 2d had the highest cytotoxic effect compared to compounds 2a-c, 2e, and 2f against DLD-1 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The binding potential of the relatively active compound, 2d, with three targets was investigated through molecular docking. The stability of target-compound complexes procured from the docking was explored through molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The docking and MD simulation studies revealed that compound 2d had the highest potential to bind to GALR3 among the targets. Furthermore, the computational pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that the synthesized compounds had drug-like properties.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
RESUMEN
Nowadays, different vaccines and antiviral drugs have been developed and their effectiveness has been proven against SARS-CoV-2. Pyrazoline derivatives are biologically active molecules and exhibit broad-spectrum biological activity properties. In this scope, four new molecules (4a-d) including a pyrazoline core were synthesized in order to predict their antiviral properties theoretically. Compounds 4a-d were purified by the crystallization method. The structures of 4a-d were completely characterized by NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of the compounds in the ground state have been optimized using density functional theory with the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level. The quantum chemical parameters were predicted by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, the molecular docking studies of 4a-d with SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (Wuhan) and omicron S protein (variant) were presented to investigate and predict potential interactions. The binding sites, binding types and energies, bond distances of the non-covalent interactions and calculated inhibition constants (calc. Ki) as a consequence of molecular docking for 4a-d were presented in this study. Furthermore, the stability of the protein-4a complex obtained from the docking was investigated through molecular dynamics simulation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Since Schiff base derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, novel Schiff base derivatives were designed and synthesized in satisfactory yields. 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, mass and elemental analysis were used to provide a complete structural characterization of the new synthesized Schiff bases (3-6). The antiproliferative activity properties of compounds were tested against two human cancer cell lines including breast (MDA-MB-231) and colon (DLD-1). The compounds overall did not show high cytotoxic activity against both cancer cell lines compared to the positive control drug cisplatin. The synthesized Schiff base compounds were further screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against five bacterial strains (Escherichia coli (ATTC 25922), Salmonella thyphimurium (ATTC 14028), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Bacillus cereus (ATCC 11778)) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Candida glabrata (ATCC 90030)) using broth micro dilution techniques. The mode of action for the antimicrobial effect in the experimental part was explored through molecular docking. The stability of target-ligand complexes obtained from the docking were assessed through molecular dynamics simulation. The binding affinity of the compounds toward the target protein were also investigated using MMPBSA. Furthermore, electrochemical properties of some compounds was analyzed by DFT calculations. By using POM theory, it becomes more easy to control the bioactivity of drugs. Here, how the physicochemical properties play a crucial role in the orientation of their bioactivity was demonstrated.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
RESUMEN
In this study, starting from 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (3-5), a new series of 2,6-disubstituted (compounds 7-15) and 2,5,6-trisubstituted (compounds 16-33) imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized using cyclization and Mannich reaction mechanisms, respectively. All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, FT-IR, elemental analysis, and mass spectroscopy techniques. Also, X-ray diffraction analysis were used for compounds 4, 7, 11, 17, and 19. The cytotoxic effects of the new compounds on the viability of colon cancer cells (DLD-1), lung cancer cells (A549), and liver cancer cells (HepG2) were investigated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method inâ vitro. Compound 15 was found to be the most potent anticancer drug candidate in this series with an IC50 value of 3.63â µM against HepG2 for 48â h. Moreover, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) parameters of the synthesized compounds were calculated and thus, their potential to be safe drugs was evaluated. Finally, to support the biological activity experiments, molecular docking studies of these compounds were carried out on three different target cancer protein structures (PDB IDs: 5ETY, 1M17, and 3GCW), and the amino acids that play key roles in the binding of the compounds to these proteins were determined.

In this study, two chiral Schiff base ligands (L1 and L2) were synthesized from the condensation reaction of (S)-2-amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde as metal precursors for the preparation of transition metal complexes with Pd(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II). The compounds were characterized by using X-ray (for L1-Pd(II)), NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, and elemental analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic effects of ligands (L1 and L2) and their metal complexes on colon cancer cells (DLD-1), breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and healthy lung human cell lines were investigated by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Among the synthesized compounds, L1-Pd(II) was particularly found to be the most potent anticancer drug candidate in this series with IC50 values of 4.07, and 9.97 µM in DLD-1 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. In addition, molecular docking results indicate that Glu122, Asn103, Ala104, Lys126, Phe114, Leu123, and Lys126 amino acids are the binding site of the colon cancer antigen protein, in which the most active complex, L1-Pd(II) can inhibit the current target.

Quorum sensing (QS) is a system used in the expression of virulence factors by many pathogenic bacteria, and blockage of the system is seen as a new and effective strategy in combating with resistant bacteria. The inhibition effects of two benzimidazolium salts, namely 1-(2-methylbenzonitrile)-3-benzylbenzimidazolium bromide (2) and 1-(N-methylphthalimide)-3-(4-methylbenzyl)benzimidazolium bromide (3), on quorum sensing-related virulence factors such as pyocyanin, elastase, biofilm formation and swarming motility, which is an opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01, were investigated in this study. The results show that the compound 3 has a significant inhibition on biofilm formation with 94%. Furthermore, the compounds 2 and 3 reduced swarming motility by 64-69% as well as pyocyanin production by 49-64% in P. aeruginosa PA01 without preventing bacterial growth in the tested concentrations. HF, B3LYP and M06-2X methods were used with 3-21 g, 6-31 g, sdd basis sets to compare the chemical activity of the compounds. Theoretically, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Infrared spectra of the compounds were calculated in the HF/6-31++g basis set. The biological activities of the relative compounds were theoretically studied against cancer proteins. Crystal structure of the BRCT repeat region from the breast cancer associated protein, ID: 1JNX, crystal structure of liver cancer protein, ID: 3WZE and crystal structure of lung cancer protein, ID: 5ZMA, were compared. In the docking studies, the best result was obtained with compound 2 against the lung cancer cell with a docking score parameter of -5.85.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Two new cytotoxic 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives have been synthesized and characterized. Their biological activities as cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activities and inhibitory activities against DNA-polymerase were evaluated. The interactions of compounds with double-stranded- and quadruple-DNA have been studied by UV-Vis, fluorescent intercalator displacement, competition dialysis, circular dichroism and the findings were compared with the parent naphthalimide and the other compounds. The results show that both compounds (1 and 2) and the parent compound NI have strong cytotoxic activities against Beas-2B, MCF-7, HepG2 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines, antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and inhibitory activities towards Taq-polymerase and transcriptase. These novel cationic compounds 1 and 2 can stabilize G-quadruplexes DNA according to thermal denaturation experiments, they change the 3D structure of the DNA (see details in CD experiments) and they exhibit different binding affinities for q-DNA and ds-DNA revealed by spectrophotometric titrations and competitive dialysis studies.

The square-planar heteroleptic Pt(II) coordination compound [Pt(bpy)(dicnq)](NO3)2 (1) and the quaternized dicnq ligand, namely 12,13-dicyano-5,6-dihydrodipyrazino[2,3-f:1',2',3',4'-lmn][1,10]phenanthroline-4,7-diium dibromide (2) (Fig. 1) were synthesized and fully characterized by means of FTIR, NMR, MALDI-TOF MS and the purity was confirmed by CHN analyses. The DNA binding profiles of 1 and 2 were identified in an identical condition. The biological activities of these compounds were investigated by the assays of transcription and replication inhibition, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity. The result of this study indicates that, both compounds strongly bind to DNA via intercalation but only 1 has a strong nuclease activity. The coordination compound of dicnq (1) binds to the DNA only slightly stronger than the quaternized form of dicnq (2), and is more potent as an inhibitor of transcription and replication and therefore, 1 has more potential as an anticancer agent but the compounds did not show cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer, and DLD-1 colon cancer cell lines it was found that they only had activities against HepG2 liver cancer cell line with following IC50 values; 94.75 and 159.60⯵M for 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, tested bacteria are more susceptible to compound 1. These biological activities of 1 may strongly be due to its ability to digest DNA as a chemical nuclease. According to this study, the quaternization of the ligand does not make biologically more active than the coordination compound of the same ligand in this case. The compound (1) is worth further investigation for its antitumor activities.

The extensive presence of large (high molecular weight) protein aggregates in biopharmaceutical formulations is a concern for formulation stability and possibly safety. Tests to screen large aggregate content in such bioformulations are therefore needed for rapid and reliable quality control in industrial settings. Herein, non-commercial seasonal influenza split-virus vaccine samples, produced using various strains and extracted from selected industrial processing steps, were used as model complex bioformulations. Orthogonal characterization through transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography and single-radial immunodiffusion revealed that large, amorphous protein aggregates are formed after virus splitting and their presence is linked mainly, albeit not only, to surfactant (Triton X-100) content in a sample. Importantly, the presence of large virus aggregates in purified whole virus samples and large protein aggregates in vaccine samples was found to correlate with broadening/shouldering in Nile Red fluorescence spectra. Accordingly, decomposition of Nile Red spectra into components allowed the development of a novel, rapid, reliable and user-friendly test with high-throughput potential for screening large aggregate content in influenza split-virus vaccines. The test can be adapted for screening other complex biopharmaceutical formulations, provided relevant controls are done for informed decomposition of fluorescence spectra into their components.

A series of novel benzimidazolium salts (1-4) and their pyridine enhanced precatalyst preparation stabilization and initiation (PEPPSI) themed palladium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes [PdCl2(NHC)(Py)] (5-8), where NHC = 1-(N-methylphthalimide)-3-alkylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene and Py = 3-chloropyridine, were synthesized and characterized by means of (1)H and (13)C{(1)H} NMR, UV-vis (for 5-8), ESI-FTICR-MS (for 2, 4, 6-8) and FTIR spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were tested in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (for 1-8) and arylation (for 5-8) reactions. As catalysts, they demonstrated a highly efficient route for the formation of asymmetric biaryl compounds even though they were used in very low loading. For example, all compounds displayed good catalytic activity for the C-C bond formation of 4-tert-butylphenylboronic acid with 4-chlorotoluene.
RESUMEN
A series of new benzimidazolium salts (1a-g) were synthesized from the reaction of 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)benzimidazole with various alkyl halides. These salts were used to synthesize silver N-heterocyclic carbene (Ag-NHC) complexes (2a-f). The thirteen compounds were characterized by FT-IR, NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectroscopic methods and an elemental analysis technique. These selected candidates were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activities. Antibacterial and antifungal results indicated that the new salts, and particularly their silver complexes, were found to be strongly effective against seven Gram (-) bacterial strains, three Gram (+) bacterial strains and one yeast (Candida albicans).

In the title hydrated symetrically substituted 1,3-bis-(4-methyl-benz-yl)benzimidazolium salt, C23H23N2 (+)·Br(-)·H2O, the dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003â Å) and the pendant benzene rings are 73.18â (16) and 77.52â (16)°. Both benzene rings lie to the same side of the benzimidazole ring system, giving the cation an overall U-shape. In the crystal, the cation is linked to the water mol-ecule by a short C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bond and the water mol-ecule forms O-Hâ¯Br hydrogen bonds. Together, these inter-actions lead to [010] chains. The packing is consolidated by C-Hâ¯Br hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.5401â (17) and 3.8815â (18)â Å], generating a three-dimensional network.
