- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel arylcarboxamide derivatives as anti-tubercular agents
-
Our group has previously reported several indolecarboxamides exhibiting potent antitubercular activity. Herein, we rationally designed several arylcarboxamides based on our previously reported homology model and the recently published crystal structure of the mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3). Many analogues showed considerable anti-TB activity against drug-sensitive (DS) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) strain. Naphthamide derivatives 13c and 13d were the most active compounds in our study (MIC: 6.55, 7.11 μM, respectively), showing comparable potency to the first line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug ethambutol (MIC: 4.89 μM). In addition to the naphthamide derivatives, we also identified the quinolone-2-carboxamides and 4-arylthiazole-2-carboxamides as potential MmpL3 inhibitors in which compounds 8i and 18b had MIC values of 9.97 and 9.82 μM, respectively. All four compounds retained their high activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tb strains. It is worth noting that the two most active compounds 13c and 13d also exhibited the highest selective activity towards DS, MDR and XDR M. tb strains over mammalian cells [IC50 (Vero cells) ≥ 227 μM], indicating their potential lack of cytotoxicity. The four compounds were docked into the MmpL3 active site and were studied for their drug-likeness using Lipinski's rule of five.

- 4-Thiazolidinone derivatives as potent antimicrobial agents: Microwave-assisted synthesis, biological evaluation and docking studies
-
As a part of our ongoing research in the development of new antimicrobials, herein, we report the synthesis of ten compounds which combine three bioactive moieties: thiazole, adamantane and 4-thiazolidinone. Evaluation of their antibacterial activity revealed that the newly synthesized compounds exhibited remarkable growth inhibition of a wide spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The majority of the compounds displayed greater antibacterial activity than the reference drugs (ampicillin and streptomycin), while the antifungal activity was significantly higher than that of the reference drugs bifonazole and ketoconazole. Additionally, the title compounds were screened for HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity, showing no significant activity. Moreover, docking studies were performed in order to explore possible binding modes at the MurB protein of S. aureus. This journal is

- Novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives as potential antifungal and antibacterial drugs
-
As part of ongoing studies in developing new antimicrobials, a class of structurally novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives incorporating three known bioactive nuclei such as thiazole, thiazolidinone and adamantane was synthesized by the multi-step reaction protocol, already reported in the literature. NMR and Molecular Modeling techniques were employed for structure elucidation and Z/E potential isomerism configuration of the analogues. Evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activity showed that almost all compounds exhibited better results than reference drugs thus they could be promising candidates for novel drugs.

- Adamantane derivatives of thiazolyl-N-substituted amide, as possible non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents
-
A series of adamantane derivatives of thiazolyl-N-substituted amides were synthesized in a three-step reaction and tested for anti-inflammatory activity as well as lipoxygenase and cycloxygenase inhibitory actions. Theoretical calculation of their lipophilicity, as C log P was performed. The effect of the synthesized compounds on inflammation, using the carrageenin-induced mouse paw oedema model was studied and compared to indomethacin. In general, the studied compounds were found to be potent anti-inflammatory agents (29.6-81.5%). Anti-inflammatory activity was influenced by some structural characteristics of the synthesized compounds. The lipoxygenase inhibitory activity was tested by the conversion of sodium linoleate to 13-hydroperoxylinoleic acid. Low inhibitory activity was observed. Evaluation of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activities of the compounds revealed a COX-1 inhibitory potential, comparable to that of naproxen for some of the compounds and a low to moderate COX-2 inhibitory potential. Comparison of the in vivo and in vitro results leads to the conclusion that most compounds of this series may be involved in other mechanisms of inflammation, too.
