- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives as potential anticancer compounds
-
Two series of compounds carrying 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole scaffold were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against a panel of cancer cell lines using XTT assay. The 1,2,4-triazole synthesis was revisited for the first series of pyridyl derivatives. The biological results revealed the efficiency of the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole core that could not be replaced and a clear beneficial effect of a 3-bromophenylamino moiety in position 3 of the triazole for both series (compounds 2.6 and 4.6) on several cell lines tested. Moreover, our results point out an antiangiogenic activity of these compounds. Overall, the 5-aryl-3-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazole structure has promising dual anticancer activity.

- Chemical screening of novel strigolactone agonists that specifically interact with DWARF14 protein
-
Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones that regulate shoot branching as well as being known as root-derived signals for parasitic and symbiotic interactions. The physical interaction between SLs and the DWARF14 (D14) receptor family can be examined by differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) that monitors the changes in protein melting temperature (Tm). The Tm of D14 is lowered by bioactive SLs in DSF analysis. In this report, we screened the compounds that lower the Tm of Arabidopsis D14 (AtD14) as potential candidates for SL agonists using DSF analysis. Subsequent physiological analyzes revealed that 113D10 acts as a novel SL agonist in a D14-dependent manner. Intriguingly, 113D10 has a chemical structure different from natural SLs in that it does not possess an enol ether bond that connects to a methylbutenolide moiety. Moreover, 113D10 does not stimulate seed germination of root parasitic plants. Accordingly, 113D10 can be a useful tool for SL studies and agricultural applications.

- Synthesis and antitumor evaluation of 5-(benzo[: D] [1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl)-4-(tert -butyl)- N -arylthiazol-2-amines
-
A series of novel N-aryl-5-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl)-4-(tert-butyl)thiazol-2-amines (C1-C31) were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor activities against HeLa, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines. Some tested compounds showed potent growth inhibition properties with IC50 values generally below 5 μM against the three human cancer cells lines. Compound C27 showed potent activities against HeLa and A549 cell lines with IC50 values of 2.07 ± 0.88 μM and 3.52 ± 0.49 μM, respectively. Compound C7 (IC50 = 2.06 ± 0.09 μM) was the most active compound against A549 cell line, while compound C16 (IC50 = 2.55 ± 0.34 μM) showed the best inhibitory activity against the MCF-7 cell line. The preliminary mechanism of the inhibitory effect was investigated via further experiments, such as morphological analysis by dual AO/EB staining and Hoechst 33342 staining, and cell apoptosis and cycle assessment by FACS analysis. The results illustrated that compound C27 could induce apoptosis and cause both S-phase and G2/M-phase arrests in HeLa cell line. Therefore, compound C27 could be developed as a potential antitumor agent.

- Design, synthesis, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and biological evaluation of thiazole derivatives as potent and selective inhibitors of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase
-
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (HsDHODH) is a flavin-dependent mitochondrial enzyme that has been certified as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. On the basis of lead compound 4, which was previously identified as potential HsDHODH inhibitor, a novel series of thiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The X-ray complex structures of the promising analogues 12 and 33 confirmed that these inhibitors bind at the putative ubiquinone binding tunnel and guided us to explore more potent inhibitors, such as compounds 44, 46, and 47 which showed double digit nanomolar activities of 26, 18, and 29 nM, respectively. Moreover, 44 presented considerable anti-inflammation effect in vivo and significantly alleviated foot swelling in a dose-dependent manner, which disclosed that thiazole-scaffold analogues can be developed into the drug candidates for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by suppressing the bioactivity of HsDHODH.

- Design, synthesis and investigation on the structure-activity relationships of N-substituted 2-aminothiazole derivatives as antitubercular agents
-
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious diseases of all times, and its recent resurgence is a supreme matter of concern. Co-infection with HIV and, in particular, the continuous isolation of new resistant strains, makes the discovery of novel anti-TB agents a strategic priority. The research of novel agents should be driven by the accessibility of the synthetic procedure and, in particular, by the lack of cross-resistance with the drugs already marketed. Moreover, in order to shorten the duration of the therapy, and therefore decrease the rate of resistance, these molecules should be active also against the nonreplicating persistent form (NRP-TB) of the infection. The availability of an in-house small library of compounds prompted us to investigate their anti-TB activity. Two compounds, embodying a 2-aminothiazole scaffold, were found to possess a certain inhibitory activity toward Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and therefore a medicinal chemistry campaign was initiated in order to increase the activity of the hit compounds and, especially, construct a plausible body of structure-activity relationships. The potency of the hit compound was successfully improved, and, much more importantly, some of the molecules synthesized were found to be active toward the persistent phenotype, and, also, toward a panel of resistant strains. These findings encourage further investigations around this interesting antitubercular chemotype.

- Synthesis of nitrogen bicyclic scaffolds: Pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,6- diones
-
The multi-step synthesis of 1,3,7-trisubstituted pyrimido[1,2-a] pyrimidinediones starting from isothiocyanates is described. These nitrogen bicycles were prepared by an iterative sequence of functionalization/ cyclocondensation reactions. [4+2] Cycloaddition reactions took place between diazadienic chains and various acyl chlorides providing sophisticated heterobicycles.

-
A number of 2-substituted-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-6,8-dichloro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine-1,1-dioxides (1-2a-b) and -1-oxides (3-4a-b) bioisosters of RPR 104632 in which the 3-carboxylic group was replaced by a carbonyl group were synthesized. Comparative in vitro pharmacological studies on this series of RPR 104632 analogs were performed using receptor binding assays. None of these compounds showed detectable binding affinity for the glycine-NMDA receptor.
