RESUMO

Graphene oxide modified with tryptophan (GO-Trp) has been introduced as a new heterogeneous acid-base biocatalyst for synthesis of some pyran derivatives. GO was prepared according to the Hummer's method and tryptophan as a low-cost green amino acid is covalently bonded to the surface of GO without any organic or toxic reagents in a green way. The new catalyst was characterized by different spectroscopic methods such as Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction (XRD), etc. …. The results of XRD patterns showed an increase in the distance between the GO plates in the presence of the modifying agent which specifies the presence of amino acid between the GO layers. XPS analysis also confirmed successful modification through the presence of C-N bonds in the structure of the catalyst. In addition, improvements in thermal stability and changes in the morphology of the samples were observed using thermogravimetric analysis and Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis respectively. Evaluation of the catalyst performance in the synthesis of some benzo[b]pyran and pyrano[3,2-c] chromene derivatives showed presentable results. Seven benzo[b]pyran (4a-4g) and five pyrano[3,2-c] chromene (4h-4l) derivatives were synthesized. GO-Trp as a safe, natural and efficient catalyst, could be reused up to 5 runs for synthesis of pyran derivatives without any significant decrease in its potency. High purity of the products and desirable yields are other points that make the present work more attractive.

RESUMO

The design and synthesis of novel cytotoxic agents is still an interesting topic for medicinal chemistry researchers due to the unwanted side effects of anticancer drugs. In this study, a novel series of uracil-azole hybrids were designed and synthesized. The cytotoxic activity, along with computational studies: molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulation, density functional theory, and ADME properties were also, evaluated. The compounds were synthesized by using 3-methyl-6-chlorouracil as the starting material. Cytotoxicity was determined using MTT assay in the breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and Hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HEPG-2). These derivatives demonstrated powerful inhibitory activity against breast and hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines in comparison to Cisplatin as positive control. Among these compounds, 4j displayed the best selectivity profile and good activity with IC50 values of 16.18 ± 1.02 and 7.56 ± 5.28 µM against MCF-7 and HEPG-2 cell lines respectively. Structure-activity relationships revealed that the variation in the cytotoxic potency of the synthesized compounds was affected by various substitutions of benzyl moiety. The docking output showed that 4j bind well in the active site of EGFR and formed a stable complex with the EGFR protein. DFT was used to investigate the reactivity descriptors of 4a and 4j. The outputs demonstrated that these uracil-azole hybrids can be considered as potential cytotoxic agents.

RESUMO

Quinazoline derivatives, as an important category of heterocyclic compounds, have received much attention for the design and development of new drugs due to their various pharmacological properties. Besides, there is a great deal of evidence showing pyrimidine analogs as anticancer agents. Thus, in the present study, for the design of new target compounds with cytotoxic activity, we focused on various quinazolinone and pyrimidine hybrids. A new series of quinazoline-pyrimidine hybrid derivatives (6a-6n) have been designed and synthesized as novel antiproliferative agents. All the synthesized compounds characterized based on their IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopic data. Antiproliferative activities of the new compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A549, SW-480). The compounds were found to have appropriate potential with IC50 values ranging from 2.3 ± 5.91 to 176.5 ± 0.7 µM against the tested cell lines. Compound 6n exerted the highest antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 5.9 ± 1.69 µM, 2.3 ± 5.91 µM and 5.65 ± 2.33 µM against A549, SW-480 and MCF-7 respectively. The results indicated that 6n could induce apoptosis in A549 cell line in a dose dependent manner and arrest in the S phase of cell cycle. Docking studies were also done to investigate the detailed binding pattern of the synthesized compounds against EGFR. Furthermore, molecular dynamic simulation and binding free energy calculation have been done to rescore initial docking pose of the synthesized compounds using ensemble-based MMGB/PBSA free energy method. According to the results, free energy calculation confirmed biological activity of compounds and also, Arg 817 and Lys 721 residues had the pivotal role in the high potency of 6n. Finally, the drug likeness and in silico ADME study were also predicted.

RESUMO

A new, simple, and efficient method for synthesis of α-benzyl amino coumarin and its derivatives (1-24) is described via a one-pot, three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, amine, and 4-hydroxycoumarin under green chemistry conditions: water as a solvent and BaSiO3 nanoparticles as catalyst. BaSiO3 nanoparticles and all synthesized derivatives were characterized by multiple methods including; XRD, NMR, and FE-SEM. This method which gives higher yields, is also less expensive, and more environmentally friendly compared with other methods in the literature. In silico physicochemical and pharmacokinetics analyses were done on all synthesized compounds and indicated that these α-benzyl amino coumarins would be effective scaffolds for the future development of chemotherapeutic agents.

RESUMO

Despite considerable recent progress in therapeutic strategies, cancer still remains one of the leading causes of death. Molecularly targeted therapies, in particular those focused on blocking receptor tyrosine kinases have produced promising outcomes in recent years. In this study, a new series of spiro[indoline-3,2'-quinazoline]-2,4'(3'H)-dione derivatives (5a-5l) were synthesized and evaluated as potential kinase inhibitors with anticancereffects. The anti-proliferative activity was measured by MTT assay, while the cell cycle was studied using flow cytometry. Moreover, kinase inhibition profiles of the most promising compounds were assessed against a panel of 25 oncogenic kinases. Compounds 5f,5g,5i, and 5jshowed anti-proliferative effect against EBC-1, A549, and HT-29 solid tumor models in addition to leukemia cell line K562. In particular, compound 5f, bearing 4-methylphenyl pendant on the isatin ring displayed considerable potency with IC50 values of 2.4 to 13.4 µM against cancer cells. The most potent derivatives also altered the distribution of cells in different phases of cell cycle and increased the sub-G1 phase cells in K562 cells. Moreover, kinase inhibition assays identified FLT3 kinase was as the primary targetof these derivatives. Compound 5f at 25 µM concentration showed inhibitory activities of 55% and 62% against wild-type FLT3 and its mutant, D835Y, respectively. Finally, the docking and simulation studies revealed the important interactions of compound 5f with wild type and mutant FLT3. The results of this study showed that some novel spiroindoline quinazolinedione compounds could be potential candidates for further development as novel targeted anticancer agents.

RESUMO

A series of 6-bromoquinazoline derivatives (5a-j) were synthesized. Cytotoxic effectiveness of compounds was done against two cancerous cell lines (MCF-7 and SW480) by standard MTT method. Fortunately, all of the compounds showed desirable activity in reducing the viability of the studied cancerous cell lines with IC50 value in the range of 0.53-46.6 µM. Compound 5b with a fluoro substitution at meta position of the phenyl moiety showed stronger activity than cisplatin with IC50 =0.53-1.95 µM. Studies on the hit compound (5b) through apoptosis assay illustrated that it could induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cell lines in dose dependent manner. Molecular docking study was done to investigate the detailed binding modes and interactions with EGFR as a plausible mechanism. The drug- likeness was predicted. To survey the reactivity of compounds, DFT calculation was performed. Taken together, 6-bromoquinazoline derivatives, especially 5b can be considered as hit compounds to rational drug designing as antiproliferative agents.

RESUMO

In this study, two series of novel 1,4-benzothiazine-3-one derivatives with alkyl substitution (series 1: 4a-4f) and aryl substitution (series 2: 4g-4l) were designed and synthesized based on the chemical scaffolds of perampanel, hydantoins, progabide and etifoxine as anti-convulsant agents. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Anti-convulsant effect of the compounds was examined through intraperitoneal pentylenetetrazol (i.p. PTZ) induced epilepsy mouse models. Compound 4h (4-(4-bromo-benzyl)- 4 H-benzo[b] [1,4] thiazin-3(4 H)-one) demonstrated a promising activity toward chemically-induced seizure experiment. Molecular dynamics simulation on GABA-Aergic receptors as a plausible mechanism were also done to achieve the binding and orientation of compounds in the active site of the target to evaluate the results of docking and experimental studies. The computational results were confirmed the biological activity. DFT study of 4c and 4h was performed on B3LYP/6-311 G** level of theory. Reactivity descriptors such as HOMO, LUMO, electron affinity, ionization potential, chemical potential, hardness and softness were studied in detail and show that 4h has higher activity than 4c. Also, the frequency calculations were performed on the same level of theory and the results are in line with experimental data. Moreover, in silico ADMET properties were done to establish a relationship between the physiochemical data of the designed compounds and their in-vivo activity. Appropriate plasma protein binding and high blood-brain barrier penetration are the main features of desired in-vivo performance.

RESUMO

Nano graphene oxide/3-aminopyridine has been introduced as a new, efficient and robust heterogeneous organic catalyst for synthesis of spiro-indoline-pyranochromene derivatives. Nano graphene oxide/3-aminopyridine was provided in an easy and green way from GO. Firstly, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized and then 3-aminopyridine was immobilized with covalent bonds on its surface as a nitrogenous organic compound, in this step we didn't use any organic or toxic substance. This bonding was easily performed due to the presence and reactivity of the epoxy groups in the GO structure. Because of its vast-surface nano-layers, GO could be effective in appropriate dispersion of 3-aminopyridine on its surface and increasing the catalyst performance. The new catalyst was analysed using different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Our results showed that the distance between GO plates was increased in the presence of the modifying agent. This is due to the placement of the organic compound between the GO sheets. Finally, the ability of our new nano-catalyst in the synthesis of some spiro-indoline-pyranochromene and dihydropyranochromene derivatives was evaluated and acceptable results were obtained. Eight analogous of spiro-indoline-pyranochromene (4a-4 h) were synthesized in high yields and characterized. Using 3-aminopyridine as an organic and efficient catalyst, its stabilization by a simple method on GO, recycling of the catalyst up to 7 times and obtaining a highly pure product were the points that made the present work more attractive.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Azoles are the famous and widespread scaffold in the pharmaceutical industry due to their wide range of activities, high efficacy, good tolerability, and oral availability. Furthermore, azole derivatives have attracted attention as potent antimicrobial agents. INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of pharmacological aspects of the main scaffolds of azoles, including imidazole, benzimidazole, triazole, and tetrazole, which possess antimicrobial activity, reported from 2016 to 2020, as well as all of our publication in this field. In addition, we discuss the relationship between structure and activity and molecular docking studies of the azole derivatives to provide critical features and valuable information for the synthesis of novel azole compounds with desirable biological activities. The presented structures in this review have been tested against several bacteria and fungi, such as E. coli and C. albicans, which have been common in all of these studies. RESULTS: A comparison of the reported MIC for tested compounds showed fluconazole base structures as the most active antifungal agents, and triazole derivatives bearing nitrophenyl and coumarin moieties to have the most dominant antibacterial activity. CONCLUSION: Triazole and imidazole scaffolds are more important for designing antimicrobial compounds than other azole derivatives, like benzimidazole or tetrazole. All the most active compounds were observed to fulfill the Lipinski rule.

The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques like IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectroscopy and Elemental analysis. The cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines including MCF-7, Hela and A549 using MTT assay. Compounds 7d, 7e, 10a and 10d showed a promising cytotoxic activity lower than 12 µM against Hela cell line. The safety of these compounds was also, evaluated on MRC-5 as a normal cell line and relieved that most of the synthesized compounds have proper selectivity against normal and cytotoxic cancerous cell lines. Finally, molecular docking studies were also, done to understand the mechanism and binding modes of these derivatives in the binding pocket of aromatase enzyme as a possible target.

RESUMO

A series of 2-aryl/alkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-naphtho[1,2-e][1,3]oxazines (S1-S11) were synthesized with an eco-friendly and recoverable nanocatalyst (GO-Fe3O4-Ti(IV)) as an efficient magnetic composite. The new nanocatalyst was characterized by FT-IR, XRD and, EDS analysis. A conformable procedure, easy to work up and having a short reaction time with high yields are some advantages of this method. The new catalyst is also thermal-stable, reusable and, environment-friendly. The chemical structures of the synthesized 1,3-oxazine compounds were confirmed by comparing their melting points with those reported in literature. Then, the anticonvulsant activity of these compounds was assessed by the intraperitoneal pentylenetetrazole test (ipPTZ). Compounds S10 and S11 displayed considerable activity against chemically-induced seizure tests. The molecular simulation was also done to achieve their binding affinities as γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA-A) receptor agonists as an assumptive mechanism of their anticonvulsant action. The result of molecular studies represented strongly matched with biological activity. Molecular docking simulation of the potent compound (S10) and diazepam as the positive control was performed and some critical residues like Thr262, Asn265, Met286, Phe289, and Val290 were identified. Based on the anticonvulsant results and also in silico ADME predictions, S11 can be to become a potential drug candidate as an anticonvulsant agent.

RESUMO

Fifteen derivatives of spirooxindole-4H-pyran (A1-A15) were subjected to evaluate through intravenous infusion of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced epilepsy mouse models. Four doses of the compounds (20, 40, 60 and 80 mg/kg) were tested in comparison with diazepam as positive control. The resulted revealed that compounds A3 and A12 were the most active compounds and indicated significant anticonvulsant activity in the PTZ test. The tested compounds were prepared via a multicomponent reaction using graphene oxide (GO) based on the 1-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine as a novel heterogeneous organocatalyst. The prepared catalyst (GO-A.P.) was characterized using some diverse microscopic and spectroscopic procedures as well. The results showed high catalytic activity of the catalyst in the synthesis of spirooxindole-4H-pyran derivatives. The GO-A.P. catalyst was reusable at least for 5 times with no significant decrease in its catalytic action. In silico assessment of physicochemical activity of all compounds also were done which represented appropriate properties. Finally, molecular docking study was performed to achieve their binding affinities as γ-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptor agonists as a plausible mechanism of their anticonvulsant action. Binding free energy values of the compounds represented strongly matched with biological activity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Synthesis and investigation of pharmacological activity of novel compounds are time and money-consuming. However, computational techniques, docking, and in silico studies have facilitated drug discovery research to design pharmacologically effective compounds. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: In this study, a series of quinazoline derivatives were applied to quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. A collection of chemometric methods were conducted to provide relations between structural features and cytotoxic activity of a variety of quinazoline derivatives against breast cancer cell line. An in silico-screening was accomplished and new impressive lead compounds were designed to target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-active site based on a new structural pattern. Molecular docking was performed to delve into the interactions, free binding energy, and molecular binding mode of the compounds against the EGFR target. FINDINGS/RESULTS: A comparison between different methods significantly indicated that genetic algorithm-partial least-squares were selected as the best model for quinazoline derivatives. In the current study, constitutional, functional, chemical, resource description framework, 2D autocorrelation, and charge descriptors were considered as significant parameters for the prediction of anticancer activity of quinazoline derivatives. In silico screening was employed to discover new compounds with good potential as anticancer agents and suggested to be synthesized. Also, the binding energy of docking simulation showed desired correlation with QSAR and experimental data. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: The results showed good accordance between binding energy and QSAR results. Compounds Q1-Q30 are desired to be synthesized and applied to in vitro evaluation.

RESUMO

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can be applied for pH-sensitive delivery of anticancer drugs. Due to the importance of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in different tumor therapy regimens, it has been widely used in different pH dependent drug delivery systems. To investigate the pH effects on loading (and release) of 5-FU on (and from) the functionalized MWCNTs and propose the optimum condition for drug delivery, both macroscopic and microscopic studies were carried out using chromatography and molecular dynamic simulation at different conditions. For both levels of studies, different analytical approaches were performed to assess the validity of the methods. The experimental results revealed that 5-FU has more binding affinity to the surface of the nanocarrier at physiological pH (pH = 7.4) and showed more release at acidic conditions (pH = 5.0). Meanwhile it has been observed that basic pH (pH = 9.0) can lead to a dramatic decrease effect on loading of the drug. The results of this study can be used to suggest the optimum pH levels for nanocarbon based formulations of 5-FU in cancer therapy.

RESUMO

In order to expand the application of Fe3O4@SiO2-SnCl4 in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, in this study, we wish to report the use of one-pot three component synthesis of pyrimido [4,5-b]quinolone derivatives ( D1-D16 ) through reaction of 6-amino-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4 (3H)-one, dimedone, or 1,3-cyclohexadione and aldehydes in the presence of Fe3O4@SiO2-SnCl4 as an efficient eco-friendly catalyst under ultrasound irradiation. The final aim of this study is evaluation of antifungal activity of resulted products. Synthesis of pyrimido [4,5-b]quinolin derivatives were done via three components coupling reaction of aldehyde, dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexadione and 6-amino-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4 (3H)-one in the presence of Fe3O4@SiO2-SnCl4 under ultrasonic irradiation in water at 60 °C. The products structure were studied by FT-IRI, 1H NMR,II and 13C NMRII. All the compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity by broth microdilution methods as recommended by CLSIIII. Considering our results showed that compound ( D13 ) had the most antifungal activity against C. dubliniensis, C. Albicans, C. Tropicalis, and C. Neoformance at concentrations ranging (MIC90) from 1-4 µg/mL. Compounds ( D9 ), ( D10 ), ( D14 ), and ( D15 ) had significant inhibitory activities against C. dubliniensis at concentrations ranging (MIC90) from 4-8 µg/mL, respectively. 5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-8,8-dimethyl-2-(methylthio)-5,8,9,10-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-4,6(3H,7H)-dione ( D13 ) exhibited inhibitory and fungicidal activities against the tested yeasts. The specific binding mode or the binding orientation of more efficient compounds to CYP51 active site, have been also performed by molecular modeling investigations and showed that there is a good correlation with biological test.

RESUMO

Recently the quinazoline derivatives have attracted much attention for their anticancer properties. In this study a series of new brominated quinazoline derivatives (1a-1g) were synthesized in two steps. In the first step we used N-bromosuccinimide to brominate the anthranilamid. Then in the second step we closed the quinazoline ring by different aromatic aldehydes. Our aldehydes contain different electron donating or electron withdrawing groups at different positions of the aromatic ring. The chemical structures of products were confirmed by spectroscopic methods such as IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and mass spectroscopy. The cytotoxic activities of the compounds were assessed on three cancerous cell lines including MCF-7, A549, and SKOV3 using colorimetric MTT cytotoxic assay in comparison with cisplatin as a standard drug. Our results collectively indicated that 1f and 1g, exhibited the best anti-proliferative activities on three investigated cancerous cell lines.

RESUMO

The concept of green chemistry has made significant impact on many frontages including the use of green solvents or sustainable catalyst materials. Benzimidazole ring is an important nitrogen-containing heterocyclic, which exhibits a broad spectrum of bioactivities and are widely utilized by the medicinal chemists for drug discovery. A simple and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of some benzimidazole derivatives via reaction of o-phenylenediamine and substituted aldehydes in the presence of nano-SnCl4/SiO2 as a mild catalyst. Ten 2-substituted benzimidazole compounds ( J1-J10 ) were synthesized. All compounds were evaluated against different species of yeasts and filament fungi using broth micro dilution method as recommended by clinical and laboratory standard institute. Among these compounds, the active ones were chosen for their cytotoxic activities evaluation against MCF-7 and A549 cell lines using MTT method. Compound J2 showed the best antifungal activity against all tested species. Compounds J5-J7 had also desirable antifungal activities. Our cytotoxic results were also similar to the antifungal activities except for J7 which had no cytotoxic activity.

RESUMO

Quinazoline is one of the most widespread scaffolds amongst natural and synthetic bioactive compounds. Recently the quinazoline derivatives and in particular the 4-anilinoquinazolines have attracted much attention for their anticancer properties due to their capability to stabilize the kinase activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A series of fifteen previously designed and synthesized 4-anilinoquinazoline analogs (4-18) were evaluated for cytotoxic activity on two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468). Ligand efficiency and binding mode studies were also done and evaluated for their potentially EGFR inhibitory effects in comparison with imatinib and erlotinib as reference drugs. Among the tested 4-anilinoquinazolines, compound 11 , which contains diethoxy at phenyl ring and morpholino pendants at positions 5 and 7 of the quinazoline ring, demonstrated the most potent biological activity on both cell lines. Our new quinazoline derivatives with different substituents such as cyclic or linear ethers and flour groups may be a promising cytotoxic lead compounds for further anti-breast cancer research.

RESUMO

Diaper dermatitis is a common disorder. Coriandrum sativum is a herbal remedy with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activities effects. In this non randomised clinical trial which was performed on 58 infants with diaper dermatitis referred to Faghihi Hospital, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, the efficacy and safety of topical Coriandrum extract cream is compared with hydrocortisone ointment. Coriandrum sativum extract cream was administered for 37 (intervention group) and hydrocortisone 1% ointment for 21 (control group) patients. Patients were examined on days 3 and 10. Chi-square test was applied for statistical analysis. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the cure rate (20 (54.1%) for the intervention group versus 19 (90.5%) for the control group) (P-value = 0.005) and side effects (10 (27%) for the intervention group versus 0 (0%) for control group) (P-value = 0.009) both in favor of hydrocortisone. This trial failed to confirm the efficacy of Coriandrum sativum in the treatment of diaper dermatitis; however, it seems that if soothing compounds are used in combination with Coriandrum sativum to reduce the mild irritation, Coriandrum extract can be an alternative treatment for diaper dermatitis.
