- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and docking study of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: New acridone-1,2,4-oxadiazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids
-
In this study, novel acridone-1,2,4-oxadiazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Among various synthesized compounds, 10-((1-((3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)acridin-9(10H)-one 10b showed the most potent anti-acetylcholinesterase activity (IC50 = 11.55 μm) being as potent as rivastigmine. Also docking outcomes were in good agreement with in vitro results confirming the dual binding inhibitory activity of compound 10b. A novel series of acridone-1,2,4-oxadiazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activities.

- Design, synthesis and bioactivity evaluation of novel N-phenyl-substituted evodiamine derivatives as potent anti-tumor agents
-
Natural products are important sources for the development of therapeutic medicine, among which evodia fruit has a wide range of medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine. Evodiamine, the main active component of evodia fruit, has various anti-cancer effects and has been proved to be a Topo inhibitor. From our previous attempts of modifying evodiamine, we found that the N14 phenyl substituted derivatives had showed great anti-tumor activity, which prompted us to further explore the novel structures and activities of these compounds. Compound 6f, as a N14 3-fluorinated phenyl substituted evodiamine derivative, showed a certain inhibitory activity against Topo I at 200 μM. By studying its anti-tumor effects in vitro, compound 6f could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis, as well as arrest the cell cycle of HGC-27 and HT-29 cell lines at G2/M phase in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 6f could inhibit the migration and invasion of HGC-27 cell lines. Meanwhile, compound 6f could induce apoptosis of HGC-27 cells by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway. Overall, this work demonstrated that the N14 phenyl-substituted evodiamine derivatives had a good inhibitory effect on tumor cells in vitro, providing a promising strategy for developing potential anticancer agents for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of N-anthraniloyl tryptamine derivatives as pleiotropic molecules for the therapy of malignant glioma
-
COX-2 and STAT3 are two key culprits in the glioma microenvironment. Herein, to inhibit COX-2 and block STAT3 signaling, we disclosed 27 N-anthraniloyl tryptamine compounds based on the combination of melatonin derivatives and N-substituted anthranilic acid derivatives. Among them, NP16 showed the best antiproliferative activity and moderate COX-2 inhibition. Of note, NP16 decreased the level of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3, and blocked the nuclear translocation of STAT3 in GBM cell lines. Moreover, NP16 downregulated the MMP-9 expression of BV2 cells in a co-culture system of BV2 and C6 glioma cells, abrogated the proliferative/invasive/migratory abilities of GBM cells, induced apoptosis by ROS and the Bcl-2-regulated apoptotic pathway, and induced obvious G2/M arrest in glioma cells in vitro. Furthermore, NP16 displayed favorable pharmacokinetic profiles covering long half-life (11.43 ± 0.43 h) and high blood-brain barrier permeability. Finally, NP16 effectively inhibited tumor growth, promoted the survival rate, increased the expression of E-cadherin and reduced overproduction of PGE2, MMP-9, VEGF-A and the level of p-STAT3 in tumor tissue, and improved the anxiety-like behavior in C6 glioma model. All these evidences demonstrated N-anthraniloyl tryptamine derivatives as multifunctional anti-glioma agents with high potency could drain the swamp to beat glioma.

- Design and synthesis of some acridine-piperazine hybrids for the improvement of cognitive dysfunction
-
A novel series of hybrid molecules (5a–5m) was designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors against cognitive dysfunction. Heterocyclic moieties acridine and piperazine were conjugated with suitable linkers in a single scaffold, and the structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS analysis. The pharmacological activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated using behavioral models of amnesia viz. step-down passive avoidance and elevated plus maze at a dose 0.5?mg/kg as compared to standard rivastigmine. In vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition studies using brain homogenate of mice as the enzyme source revealed that most of the compounds exhibited a significant ability to inhibit the enzyme cholinesterase with compound 5c being the most potent (IC50 0.33?μm). Biochemical estimation of oxidative stress markers viz. plasma nitrite, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione has been carried out using the respective assays to see the effect of the synthesized compounds on the scopolamine-induced oxidative damage. The molecular docking studies indicated the binding mode of the compounds to the catalytic site, peripheral site, and mid-gorge of AChE simultaneously. The calculated absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion properties ensured the drug-likeness of the target compounds. The synthesized compounds were found to be potential cognitive enhancers, which were able to interfere with the scopolamine-induced oxidative stress also.

- Thyroid hormone uptake by hepatocytes: Structure-activity relationships of phenylanthranilic acids with inhibitory activity
-
The synthesis of a series of mono- and disubstituted N-phenylanthranilic acids is described. Substituents on the phenyl ring include Cl, CN, OH, CF3, Br, I, CH3, OCH3, and OCF2CF2H. These compounds have been tested for their inhibitory effect on triiodothyronine (T3) uptake by H4 hepatocytes. The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs flufenamic acid, mefenamic acid, and meclofenamic acid and the structurally related compounds 2,3- dimethyldiphenylamine and diclofenac were also tested. The most potent compounds were found to be, in order of decreasing activity, meclofenamic acid (2,6-Cl2,3-CH3), flufenamic acid (3-CF3), mefenamic acid (2,3- (CH3)2), and the compounds with 3,5-Cl2 and 3-OCF2CF2H substituents. The least potent compounds had 3-CN and 3-OH substituents. An analysis of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) for the series of phenylanthranilic acids showed that the inhibition of T3 uptake is highly dependent on the hydrophobicity of the compound. The relationship between uptake inhibition and the calculated octanol-water partition coefficient (clogP) was found to be parabolic, with optimum inhibitory activity found when the clogP of the phenylanthranilic acid was 5.7. It was also found that the 1-carboxylic acid group of the phenylanthranilic acids was not a prerequisite for uptake inhibition to occur, but its removal or alteration resulted in reduced inhibition.

- Structure-activity relationships in a series of anti-inflammatory N-arylanthranilic acids
-
A large series of N-arylanthranilic acids has been prepared. Many of these compounds show high anti-inflammatory activity as measured by the anti-UV-erythema test. From this series have come the clinically useful nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, flufenamic acid (Arlef), mefenamic acid (Ponstel), and the latest and most potent agent, N-(2,6-dichloro-m-tolyl)anthranilic acid (meclofenamic acid, Meclomen = the sodium salt). The structure-activity relationships of this series is discussed and a graphical representation is presented which allows the prediction of activity of new agents.
