- Novel anion receptors for selective recognition of dimethyl phosphinate and carboxylate
-
We have designed and synthesized new anion receptors 1 and 2, which have amide N[sbnd]H, pyrrole N[sbnd]H and vinyl C[sbnd]H as hydrogen bond donors. These receptors are selective for dimethyl phosphinate and carboxylates. Due to electron withdrawing effect of the cyano group which is trans to the vinyl hydrogen with respect to carbon-carbon double bond, receptor 1 has higher binding constants for phosphinate and carboxylate than those of receptor 2. Modeling studies shows that cyano group polarized all three hydrogens through planar π-electron network. In addition, receptor 1 gave orange colored 1,4-addition product for cyanide.

- Anti-melanogenesis and anti-tyrosinase properties of aryl-substituted acetamides of phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazide: Design, synthesis and biological evaluations
-
A series of aryl phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activities in the presence of L-dopa and L-tyrosine as substrates. All the compounds showed tyrosinase inhibition in the sub-micromolar concentration. Among the derivatives, compound 9j bearing benzyl displayed exceptionally high potency against tyrosinase with IC50 value of 0.11 μM and 0.17 μM in the presence of L-tyrosine and L-dopa as substrates which is significantly lower than that of kojic acid as the positive control with an IC50 value of 9.28 μM for L-tyrosine and 9.30 μM for L-dopa. According to Lineweaver–Burk plot, 9j demonstrated an uncompetitive type of inhibition in the kinetic assay. Also, in vitro antioxidant activities determined by DPPH assay recorded an IC50 value of 68.43 μM for 9i. The melanin content of 9j was determined on B16F10 melanoma human cells which demonstrated a significant reduction of the melanin content. Moreover, the binding energies corresponding to the same ligand as well as computer-aided drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies were also carried out. Compound 9j also possessed metal chelation potential correlated to its high anti-TYR activity.

- Structural Exploration of Quinazolin-4(3H)-ones as Anticonvulsants: Rational Design, Synthesis, Pharmacological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Studies
-
Anticonvulsants effective against multiple seizures are of wide interest as antiepileptic drugs, especially if active against pharmaco-resistant seizures. Herein, we synthesized 16 different, rationally designed 2-((6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxo-2-phenylquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)amino)-N-(substituted phenyl)acetamides and screened for anticonvulsant activities through in vivo experiments. Compound 4d emerged as prototype with excellent anti-seizure action in mice against electroshock, chemically induced and pharmaco-resistant 6-Hz seizure models with no symptoms of neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity (ED50 = 23.5 mg/kg, MES, mice, i.p.; ED50 = 32.6 mg/kg, scPTZ, mice, i.p.; ED50 = 45.2 mg/kg, 6-Hz, mice, i.p.; TD50 = 325.9 mg/kg, mice, i.p.). In addition, investigation of compound 4l in mice for its pharmacological profile proved it as safer anticonvulsant, devoid of the side effects such as motor dysfunction and hepatotoxicity of classical antiepileptic drugs (ED50 = 26.1 mg/kg, MES, mice, i.p.; ED50 = 79.4 mg/kg, scPTZ, mice, i.p.; TD50 = 361.2 mg/kg, mice, i.p.). We also predicted physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of structurally optimized quinazolin-4(3H)-ones by a computational protocol. A combination of in vivo anticonvulsant profile, ex vivo toxicity, and in silico studies suggested that the synthesized compounds may be useful as broad-spectrum anti-seizure drug candidates with favorable pharmacokinetic parameters.

This study describes a virtual screening performed for two series of selenides (28 compounds), derived from N-phenylacetamides chlorides and 7-chloro-quinoline, to determine their potential for leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania donovani. Seven compounds were predicted as potential leishmanicides; therefore, they were synthesized from elemental selenium, as a precursor for the production of NaHSe, and subsequent reactions with 4,7-dichloro-quinoline and N-phenylacetamides chlorides were performed. The compounds were characterized by infrared (IR), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and sent for in vitro cytotoxicity tests against L. amazonensis and were found to be active and selective, and two compounds presented half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 5.67 and 10.81 μg mL-1. They also presented good interaction energies in the docking study, suggesting that may exert their effects by inhibiting the N-myristoyltransferase and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase enzymes in parasites.

- Efficient synthesis, biological evaluation, and docking study of isatin based derivatives as caspase inhibitors
-
ABTRACT: In this paper, a new series of isatin-sulphonamide based derivatives were designed, synthesised and evaluated as caspase inhibitors. The compounds containing 1-(pyrrolidinyl)sulphonyl and 2-(phenoxymethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)sulphonyl substitution at C5 position of isatin core exhibited better results compared to unsubstituted derivatives. According to the results of caspase inhibitory activity, compound 20d showed moderate inhibitory activity against caspase-3 and ?7 in?vitro compared to Ac-DEVD-CHO (IC50 = 0.016 ± 0.002 μM). Among the studied compounds, some active inhibitors with IC50s in the range of 2.33–116.91 μM were identified. The activity of compound 20d was rationalised by the molecular modelling studies exhibiting the additional van der Waals interaction of N-phenylacetamide substitution along with efficacious T-shaped π-π and pi-cation interactions. The introduction of compound 20d with good caspase inhibitory activity will help researchers to find more potent agents.

- Pharmacological and physicochemical profile of arylacetamides as tools against human cancers
-
Arylacetamides are widely used as synthetic intermediates to obtain medicinal substances. This work evaluated in vitro antiproliferative activity of ten 2-Chloro-N-arylacetamides on human normal and cancer cells and detailed in vivo toxicological and anticancer investigations. Initially, cytotoxic colorimetric assays were performed using tumor lines, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and erythrocytes. Compounds 2, 3 and 4 were tested for acute toxicity (50, 150 and 300 mg/kg) and for subacute antitumoral capacity in HCT-116 colon carcinoma-bearing xenograft mice for 15 days at 25 mg/kg/day. Most compounds revealed cytotoxic action on tumor lines and PBMC, but activity on human erythrocytes were not detected. Molecular dipole moment, lipophilicity and electronic constant of aryl substituents had effects upon in vitro antiproliferative capacity. More common in vivo acute behavioral signals with compounds 2, 3 and 4 were muscle relaxation, reduction of spontaneous locomotor activity and number of entries in closed arms and increased number of falls andtime spent in open arms, suggesting diazepam-like anxiolytic properties. Decrease of grabbing strength and overall activity were common, but palpebral ptosis and deaths occurred at 300 mg/kg only. Compounds 2 and 3 reduced colon carcinoma growth (21.2 and 27.5%, respectively, p 0.05) without causing apparent signals of organ-specific toxicity after subacute exposure. The structural chemical simplicity of arylacetamides make them cost-effective alternatives and justifies further improvements to enhance activity, selectivity and the development of pharmaceutical formulations.

- Cink4T, a quinazolinone-based dual inhibitor of Cdk4 and tubulin polymerization, identified via ligand-based virtual screening, for efficient anticancer therapy
-
Inhibition of cyclin dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) prevents cancer cells from entering the early G0/G1 phase of the cell division cycle whereas inhibiting tubulin polymerization blocks cancer cells’ ability to undergo mitosis (M) late in the cell cycle. We had reported earlier that two non-planar and relatively non-toxic fascaplysin derivatives, an indole and a tryptoline, inhibit Cdk4 with IC50 values of 6.2 and 10 μM, respectively. Serendipitously, we had also found that they inhibited tubulin polymerization. The molecules were efficacious in mouse tumor models. We have now identified Cink4T in a 59-compound quinazolinone library, designed on the basis of ligand-based virtual screening, as a compound that inhibits Cdk4 and tubulin. Its IC50 value for Cdk4 inhibition is 0.47 μM and >50 μM for inhibition of Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk6, Cdk9. Cink4T inhibits tubulin polymerization with an IC50 of 0.6 μM. Molecular modelling studies on Cink4T with Cdk4 and tubulin crystal structures lend support to these observations. Cancer cell cycle analyses confirm that Cink4T blocks cells at both G0/G1 and M phases as it should if it were to inhibit both Cdk4 and tubulin polymerization. Our results show, for the very first time, that virtual screening can be used to design novel inhibitors that can potently block two crucial phases of the cell division cycle.

- CYP enzymes, expressed within live human suspension cells, are superior to widely-used microsomal enzymes in identifying potent CYP1A1/CYP1B1 inhibitors: Identification of quinazolinones as CYP1A1/CYP1B1 inhibitors that efficiently reverse B[a]P toxicity and cisplatin resistance
-
Microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, isolated from recombinant bacterial/insect/yeast cells, are extensively used for drug metabolism studies. However, they may not always portray how a developmental drug would behave in human cells with intact intracellular transport mechanisms. This study emphasizes the usefulness of human HEK293 kidney cells, grown in ‘suspension’ for expression of CYPs, in finding potent CYP1A1/CYP1B1 inhibitors, as possible anticancer agents. With live cell-based assays, quinazolinones 9i/9b were found to be selective CYP1A1/CYP1B1 inhibitors with IC50 values of 30/21 nM, and > 150-fold selectivity over CYP2/3 enzymes, whereas they were far less active using commercially-available CYP1A1/CYP1B1 microsomal enzymes (IC50, >10/1.3–1.7 μM). Compound 9i prevented CYP1A1-mediated benzo[a]pyrene-toxicity in normal fibroblasts whereas 9b completely reversed cisplatin resistance in PC-3/prostate, COR-L23/lung, MIAPaCa-2/pancreatic and LS174T/colon cancer cells, underlining the human-cell-assays’ potential. Our results indicate that the most potent CYP1A1/CYP1B1 inhibitors would not have been identified if one had relied merely on microsomal enzymes.

Abstract: In our pursuit to expand new potential anticancer leads, a series of eighteen novel 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid analogues have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated anti-proliferative activity against five human cancer cell lines such as A549 (lung cancer), Mia Paca (pancreatic cancer), HeLa (cervical cancer), MDA MB-231 (breast cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer) and normal embryonic kidney?cell line (HEK) were carried out using MTT assay. Few of the synthesized analogues exhibited potent anticancer activity against the cancer cell lines at a lower concentration. The synthesized compounds showed the less toxic effect on normal human embryonic kidney?cell line (HEK) compared with doxorubicin. Noticeably, compound 3o exhibited potent activity against all five cancer cell lines compared with ciprofloxacin. Further study exposed that compound 3o could competently intercalate into calf thymus DNA to form 3o-DNA complex which might block DNA replication to apply anti-proliferative activity. Docking simulation studies supported by molecular interactions with DNA type II topoisomerase. These derivates can become lead structures for the development of potential anticancer drugs. Graphical Abstract: Eighteen CP analogues were synthesized and evaluated for anti-proliferative activity. The interactions with DNA topoisomerase II were supported by molecular docking studies. 3o showed promising anticancer activity than CP against MCF7 cell line and interaction with calf thymus DNA was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Carbamylmethyl Mercaptoacetate Thioether: A Novel Scaffold for the Development of L1 Metallo-β-lactamase Inhibitors
-
Given the clinical importance of metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs), a new scaffold, N-substituted carbamylmethyl mercaptoacetate thioether, was constructed. The obtained molecules 1-16 inhibited MβLs from all three subclasses, but preferentially L1 from subclass B3. Compound 9 with a p-carboxyphenyl substituent exhibited the broadest spectrum with at least 70% inhibition of enzymes from all subclasses at 100 μM, while compound 5 with a p-methylphenyl substituent was the most potent inhibitor of any individual enzyme, with 97% inhibition at 100 μM and an IC50 value of 0.41 μM against L1. Isothermal titration calorimetry assays corroborate findings from UV-vis spectrophotometric assays that the inhibition of L1 by 5 is dose-dependent. Docking studies suggest that the carboxyl group, the sulfide atom, and the carbonyl group of the carbamyl coordinate Zn2 in a chelating fashion. Using E. coli cells expressing L1, 6 and 8 were able to decrease cefazolin minimum inhibitory concentration 8-fold.

-
A novel series of 2-((5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)thio)-N-arylacetamides 5a–5q have been synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. All newly synthesized compounds exhibited potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in the range of IC50?=?12.46?±?0.13–72.68?±?0.20?μM, when compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC50?=?817.38?±?6.27?μM). Among the series, compound 5j (12.46?±?0.13?μM) with strong electron-withdrawing nitro group on the arylacetamide moiety was identified as the most potent inhibitor of α-glucosidase. Molecular docking study was carried out to explore the binding interactions of these compounds with α-glucosidase. Our study identifies a novel series of potent α-glucosidase inhibitors for further investigation.

- Discovery and Structure-Based Optimization of 2-Ureidothiophene-3-carboxylic Acids as Dual Bacterial RNA Polymerase and Viral Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
-
We are concerned with the development of novel anti-infectives with dual antibacterial and antiretroviral activities for MRSA/HIV-1 co-infection. To achieve this goal, we exploited for the first time the mechanistic function similarity between the bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) "switch region" and the viral non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) binding site. Starting from our previously discovered RNAP inhibitors, we managed to develop potent RT inhibitors effective against several resistant HIV-1 strains with maintained or enhanced RNAP inhibitory properties following a structure-based design approach. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis revealed distinct molecular features necessary for RT inhibition. Furthermore, mode of action (MoA) studies revealed that these compounds inhibit RT noncompetitively, through a new mechanism via closing of the RT clamp. In addition, the novel RNAP/RT inhibitors are characterized by a potent antibacterial activity against S. aureus and in cellulo antiretroviral activity against NNRTI-resistant strains. In HeLa and HEK 293 cells, the compounds showed only marginal cytotoxicity.

- Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of novel 2-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylthio)acetamide derivatives as inducers of apoptosis in cancer cells
-
In this study, a series of thiosemicarbazide derivatives 12–14, 1,2,4-triazol-3-thione derivatives 15–17 and compounds bearing 2-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylthio)acetamide structure 18–32 have been synthesized starting from phenolic compounds such as 2-naphthol, paracetamol and thymol. Structures and purity of the target compounds were confirmed by the use of their chromatographic and spectral data besides microanalysis. All of the synthesized new compounds 12–32 were evaluated for their anti-HIV activity. Among these compounds, three representatives 18, 19 and 25 were selected and evaluated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) against the full panel of 60 human cancer cell lines derived from nine different cancer types. Antiproliferative effects of the selected compounds were demonstrated in human tumor cell lines K-562, A549 and PC-3. These compounds inhibited cell growth assessed by MTT assay. Compound 18, 19 and 25 exhibited anti-cancer activity with IC50values of 5.96?μM (PC-3?cells), 7.90?μM (A549/ATCC cells) and 7.71?μM (K-562?cells), respectively. After the cell viability assay, caspase activation and Bcl-2 activity of the selected compounds were measured and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected. Compounds 18, 19 and 25 showed a significant increase in caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner. This was not observed for caspase-8 activity with compound 18 and 25, while compound 19 was significantly elevated only at the dose of 50?μM. In addition, all three compounds significantly decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and expression of Bcl-2.

- Synthesis and anti-leishmanial evaluation of 1-phenyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-β-carboline derivatives against Leishmania infantum
-
In the present study, antileishmanial activity of sixteen novel series of tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives against transgenic infrared fluorescent Leishmania infantum strain has been reported. Among these reported analogues, most of the compounds exhibited potent inhibition against both promastigote (IC50from 1.99?±?1.40 to 20.69?±?0.95?μM) and amastigote (IC50from 0.67?±?0.05 to 4.16?±?0.008?μM) forms of L.?infantum. Moreover, compound 7l, displayed most potent and selective inhibition of parasite amastigote form with IC500.67?±?0.05?μM, selectivity index >298.5 and was comparable with standard drug amphotericin B. From this study, a new class of tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives with potent antileishmanial activity was identified and it needs further extensive study to optimize the lead molecules to win the battle against severe and neglected disease leishmaniasis.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives incorporating benzisoselenazolone scaffold as potential antitumor agents
-
Background: Based on the biological signi-cance of benzisoselenazolone and 1,3,4-thiadiazole, a series of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives incorporating benzisoselenazolone scaffold were designed and synthesized with ebselen as a lead compound. Methods: Meanwhile, their in vitro antitumor activities were evaluated against SMMC-7721, MCF-7 and A549 human cancer cell lines by CCK-8 assay. Results: The preliminary bioassay results demonstrated that all tested compounds 4a-q showed potent antitumor activities, and some compounds exhibited better effects than positive control ethaselen and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against various cancer cell lines. Furthermore, compounds 4b and 4m showed significant antitumor activities against SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 values of 1.89 and 1.89 μM, respectively. Compounds 4c and 4n displayed highly effective biological activities against MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 2.88 and 2.28 μM, respectively. Compound 4i showed the best inhibitory effect against A549 cells with IC50 value of 1.76 μM. Conclusion: The pharmacological results suggest that the substituent groups of phenyl ring on the 1,3,4-thiadiazole are vital for modulating antitumor activities against various cancer cell lines.

- Synthesis of new donepezil analogues and investigation of their effects on cholinesterase enzymes
-
Donepezil (DNP), an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, is one of the most preferred choices in Alzheimer diseases (AD) therapy. In the present study, 38 new DNP analogues were synthesized. Structures of the synthesized compounds (1–38) were elucidated by IR,1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. Inhibitory potential of the compounds on cholinesterase enzymes was investigated. None of the compounds displayed significant activity on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzyme. On the other hand, compounds 26–29 indicated important inhibitory activity on AChE enzyme. Kinetic studies were performed in order to observe the effects of the most active compounds on substrate-enzyme relationship. Cytotoxicity studies and theoretical calculation of pharmacokinetic properties were also carried out to get an information about toxicity and pharmacokinetic profiles of the compounds. The compounds 26–29 were found to be nontoxic at their effective concentrations against AChE. A good pharmacokinetic profile was predicted for these compounds. Docking studies were performed for the most active compounds 26–29 and interaction modes with enzyme active sites were determined. Docking studies revealed that there is a strong interaction between the active sites of AChE enzyme and analyzed compounds.

- Sulfonamide-1,3,5-triazine-thiazoles: Discovery of a novel class of antidiabetic agents: Via inhibition of DPP-4
-
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs used for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, a novel hybrid sulphonamide-1,3,5-triazine-thiazole derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The result showed that among the tested compounds, 8c was found to be a more potent inhibitor of DPP-4 (2.32 nM) than the alogliptin standard. Moreover, molecular docking results showed that ligand 8c was efficiently docked into the active site of the catalytic triad of Ser630, Asp708 and His740, encompassing both the S1 and S2 pocket with a CDOCKER interaction energy of 57.80. The in vitro results were further substantiated by in vivo blood glucose lowering effects in experimental subjects. The results of the investigation showed that compound 8c exhibited concentration-dependent improvement of glucose tolerance in ICR after oral administration. It has been also found that compound 8c (30 mg kg-1) showed a reduction in the area under the curve from 0 to 120 min [(AUC) 0-120 min] to 37.46%, which was found to be approximately similar to the hypoglycemic profile of alogliptin (standard). The activity of compound 8c was also investigated in STZ-induced diabetic rats where it showed a dose-dependent decrease in blood glucose levels together with an improvement in insulin levels probably via inhibition of DPP-4. The effect of compound 8c was also investigated on the lipid profile and antioxidant enzyme system.

- Azolylthioacetamide: A highly promising scaffold for the development of metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors
-
A new scaffold, azolylthioacetamide, was constructed and assayed against metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs). The obtained molecules specifically inhibited MβL ImiS, and 1c was found to be the most potent inhibitor, with a Ki = 1.2 μM using imipenem as substrate. Structure-activity relationships reveal that the aromatic carboxyl improves inhibitory activity of the inhibitors, but the aliphatic carboxyl does not. Compounds 1c-d and 1h-i showed the best antibacterial activities against E. coli BL21(DE3) cells producing CcrA or ImiS, resulting in 32- and 8-fold reduction in MIC values, respectively; 1c and 1f-j resulted in a reduction in MIC against P. aeruginosa. Docking studies revealed that 1a, 1c, and 1d fit tightly into the substrate binding site of CphA as a proxy for ImiS with the aromatic carboxylate forming interactions with Lys224, the Zn(II) ion, the backbone of Asn233, and hydrophobic portions of the inhibitors aligning with hydrophobic patches of the protein surface.

- Design and development of novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis l-alanine dehydrogenase inhibitors
-
In the present study, we used crystal structure of MTB L-AlaDH protein complex with N6-methyl adenosine for structure based virtual screening of in house database to identify new small molecule inhibitors for MTB-L-AlaDH. Two molecules identified as better leads and were modified synthetically to obtain thirty novel analogues belonging to 2-iminothiazolidine-4-ones and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxamides. Among the screened compounds four (4n, 4o, 12 and 14) emerged as potent inhibitors displaying IC50 values ranging from 0.58 ± 0.02 to 1.74 ± 0.03 μM against MTB-L-AlaDH and were non-cytotoxic at 50 μM. Some of these synthesized compounds also exhibited good activity against nutrient starved dormant MTB cells. The most potent inhibitors were found to stabilize the protein which was confirmed biophysically through differential scanning fluorimetry.

- Synthesis and in vitro kinetic study of novel mono-pyridinium oximes as reactivators of organophosphorus (OP) inhibited human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE)
-
A series of mono pyridinium oximes linked with arenylacetamides as side chains were synthesized and their in vitro reactivation potential was evaluated against human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibited by organophosphorus inhibitors (OP) such as sarin, VX and tabun. The reactivation data of the synthesized compounds were compared with those obtained with standard reactivators such as 2-PAM and obidoxime. The dissociation constant (KD) and specific reactivity (kr) of the oximes were also determined by performing reactivation kinetics against OP inhibited hAChE. Among the synthesized compounds, oximes 1-(2-(4-cyanophenylamino)-2-oxoethyl)-4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)pyridinium chloride (12a) and 4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-1-(2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl)pyridinium chloride (2a) were found most potent reactivators for hAChE inhibited by sarin. In case of VX inhibited hAChE majority of the oximes have shown good reactivation efficacies. Among these oximes 1-(2-(benzylamino)-2-oxoethyl)-4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)pyridinium chloride (18a), 4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-1-(2-(4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylamino)-2-oxoethyl)pyridinium-chloride (14a) and 12a were found to surpass the reactivation potential of 2-PAM and obidoxime. However, the synthesized oximes showed marginal reactivation efficacies in case of tabun inhibited hAChE. The pKa value of the oximes were determined and correlated with their observed reactivation potential.

- Design and synthesis of potent antitumor water-soluble phenyl N-mustard-benzenealkylamide conjugates via a bioisostere approach
-
A series of new, water-soluble phenyl N-mustard-benzenealkylamide conjugates containing hydrophilic ω-dialkylaminoalkylamide or ω-cyclic aminoalkylamide moieties were synthesized via a bioisostere approach. These compounds have a broad spectrum of antitumor activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines. Of these derivatives, compound 18b effectively suppressed the growth of colon cancer (HCT-116), prostate cancer (PC3), and lung cancer (H460) xenografts. The growth of HCT-116 xenografts was almost completely suppressed when co-treated with compound 18b and 5-fluorouracil. Furthermore, compound 18b can induce DNA cross-linking and cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Early preclinical studies, including pharmacokinetics in rats, inhibition of the hERG, and 14 days of acute intravenous injection toxicity, suggest that compound 18b is a promising candidate for further preclinical studies.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives as chitin synthase inhibitors and antifungal agents
-
A series of novel 1-methyl-3-substituted quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS spectral data. Their inhibition against chitin synthase (CHS) and antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro. Results showed compounds 5b, 5c, 5e, 5f, 5j, 5k, 5l, and 5o had strong inhibitory potency against CHS. Compound 5c, which has the highest potency among these compounds, had a half-inhibition concentration (IC50) of 0.08 mmol/L, while polyoxin B as positive drug had IC50 of 0.18 mmol/L. These IC 50 values of compounds 5i, 5m, 5n, and 5s were greater than 0.75 mmol/L, which revealed that those compounds had weak inhibition activity against CHS. Moreover, most of these compounds exhibited moderate to excellent antifungal activities. In detail, to Candida albicans, the activities of compound 5g and 5k were 8-fold stronger than that of fluconazole and 4-fold stronger than that of polyoxin B; to Aspergillus flavus, the activities of 5g, 5l and 5o were16-fold stronger than that of fluconazole and 8-fold stronger than that of polyoxin B; to Cryptococcus neoformans, the minimum-inhibition- concentration (MIC) values of compounds 5c, 5d, 5e and 5l were comparable to those of fluconazole and polyoxin B. The antifungal activities of these compounds were positively correlated to their IC50 values against CHS. Furthermore, these compounds had negligible actions to bacteria. Therefore, these compounds were promising selective antifungal agents.

- Promiscuity and selectivity in covalent enzyme inhibition: A systematic study of electrophilic fragments
-
Covalent ligand-target interactions offer significant pharmacological advantages. However, off-target reactivity of the reactive groups, which usually have electrophilic properties, must be minimized, and the selectivity of irreversible inhibitors is a crucial requirement. We therefore performed a systematic study to determine the selectivity of several electrophilic groups that can be used as building blocks for covalently binding ligands. Six reactive groups with modulated electrophilicity were combined with 11 nonreactive moieties, resulting in a small combinatorial library of 72 fragment-like compounds. These compounds were screened against a group of 11 enzyme targets to assess their selectivity and their potential for promiscuous binding to proteins. The assay results showed a considerably lower degree of promiscuity than initially expected, even for those members of the screening collection that contain supposedly highly reactive electrophiles.
