- Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of novel ferrocenylmethylamine derivatives as cytotoxic agents
-
The present report describes a new series of amide functionalized 20- and 30-aminomethylferrocene derived from ferrocenylmethylamine. The compounds 1a-5a and 1b-5b were characterized by microanalysis, 1H, 13C NMR, UV–visible, fluorescence, FTIR, thermogravimetric and crystallographic techniques. The X-ray analysis demonstrated the ability of these molecules to form various intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, as verified by Hirshfeld surface analysis. All the compounds were evaluated against MCF 7, IMR 32, HepG2 and immortal L132 cell lines by MTT assay and the results were compared with cisplatin. Interestingly, many compounds were very active against all the investigated cell lines and proved to be more potent as cytotoxic agents than cisplatin. The western blot, gene expression, mitochondrial membrane potential and flow cytometry study were used to investigate the mode of action of these derivatives as antitumor agents. The results showed apoptotic property of the compounds by modulating inflammatory pathway against human tumor cells of different origin. We performed the density functional theory calculations and molecular docking to rationalize the experimental results.

- Sequence-Defined Dithiocarbamate Oligomers via a Scalable, Support-free, Iterative Strategy
-
Precise control over the monomeric sequence on natural sequence-defined polymers (SDPs) leads to their structural diversity and functions. However, absolute control over the monomeric sequence on a synthetic polymer remains a challenging process. Herein, we describe a support-free, protection-deprotection-free, cost-effective, and fast iterative strategy for multigram production of a new class of SDP with a unique functional group, dithiocarbamate, a potential group for material and biomedical applications. The strategy is based on a unique monomer, named as amine-hydroxyl monomer, and a three-component reaction between the monomer, CS2, and terminal chloro group of the growing chain. The fast strategy allows us to synthesize a 5-mer sequence-defined oligomer in 6 h. For a proof of concept, a range of aliphatic and aromatic groups have been incorporated at different sequences in the sequence-defined oligomer. This SDP platform has further been advanced by two ways: (i) multiple approaches for postsynthetic modification of SDP and (ii) increasing the chain length in a single step.

- De novo Design of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Inhibitors
-
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted many scientists to investigate remedies against SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses that are likely to appear in the future. As the main protease of the virus, M Pro, is highly conserved among coronaviruses, it has emerged as a prime target for developing inhibitors. Using a combination of virtual screening and molecular modeling, we identified small molecules that were easily accessible and could be quickly diversified. Biochemical assays confirmed a class of pyridones as low micromolar noncovalent inhibitors of the viral main protease.

- Design, Synthesis, and Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of Novel Indolyalkylpiperazine Derivatives as Selective 5-HT1A Receptor Agonists
-
5-HT1A receptor (5-HT1AR) agonists have been implicated in the treatment of a variety of central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as depression and anxiety, et al. Based on our previously found compound FW01 (Ki = 51 ± 16 nM) obtained by virtual screening, a series of FW01 derivatives were designed and synthesized by the modification of the amide tail group as well as indole headgroup of FW01. SAR exploration found that amide tail group and indole headgroup play pivotal roles in determining the binding affinity and selectivity on dopamine and serotonin receptor subtypes. Among all tested compounds, 9_24 has a Ki value of 5 ± 0.6 nM with a good selectivity toward 5-HT1AR. The [35S] GTPγS assay showed that 9_24 is a full agonist toward 5-HT1AR with an EC50 value of 0.059 nM, which shows 266.2 and 146.4-fold selectivity to 5-HT2A and D3 respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking studies with 5-HT1AR-9_24 were performed to disclose the mechanism of its high activity and selectivity. Finally, a detailed stepwise 9_24 induced signal transduction mechanism of 5-HT1AR is proposed.

- Design, Synthesis, and Bioactivity of α-Ketoamide Derivatives Bearing a Vanillin Skeleton for Crop Diseases
-
A series of novel α-ketoamide derivatives bearing a vanillin skeleton were designed and synthesized. Bioactivity tests on virus and bacteria were performed. The results indicated that some compounds exhibited excellent antitobacco mosaic virus (TMV) activities, such as compound 34 exhibited an inactivation activity of 90.1percent and curative activity of 51.8percent and compound 28 exhibited a curative activity of 54.8percent at 500 μg mL-1, which is equivalent to that of the commercial ningnanmycin (inactivation of 91.9percent and curative of 51.9percent). Moreover, the in vitro antibacterial activity test illustrated that compounds 2, 22, and 33 showed much higher activities than commercial thiodiazole copper, which could be used as lead compounds or potential candidates. The findings of transmission electron microscopy and molecular docking indicated that the synthesized compounds exhibited strong and significant binding affinity to the TMV coat protein and could obstruct the self-assembly and increment of TMV particles. This study revealed that α-ketoamide derivatives bearing a vanillin skeleton could be used as a novel potential pesticide for controlling the plant diseases.

- Rad51/BRCA2 disruptors inhibit homologous recombination and synergize with olaparib in pancreatic cancer cells
-
Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor (PARPi). For patients bearing BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, olaparib is approved to treat ovarian cancer and in clinical trials to treat breast and pancreatic cancers. In BRCA2-defective patients, PARPi inhibits DNA single-strand break repair, while BRCA2 mutations hamper double-strand break repair. Recently, we identified a series of triazole derivatives that mimic BRCA2 mutations by disrupting the Rad51-BRCA2 interaction and thus double-strand break repair. Here, we have computationally designed, synthesized, and tested over 40 novel derivatives. Additionally, we designed and conducted novel biological assays to characterize how they disrupt the Rad51-BRCA2 interaction and inhibit double-strand break repair. These compounds synergized with olaparib to target pancreatic cancer cells with functional BRCA2. This supports the idea that small organic molecules can mimic genetic mutations to improve the profile of anticancer drugs for precision medicine. Moreover, this paradigm could be exploited in other genetic pathways to discover innovative anticancer targets and drug candidates.

- Discovery and optimization of 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl substituted triazolylthioacetamides as potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
Based on our previous research, three series of new triazolylthioacetamides possessing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety were synthesized, and evaluated for antiproliferative activities and inhibition of tubulin polymerization. The most promising compounds 8b and 8j demonstrated more significant antiproliferative activities against MCF-7, HeLa, and HT-29 cell lines than our lead compound 6. Moreover, analogues 8f, 8j, and 8o manifested more potent antiproliferative activities against HeLa cell line with IC50 values of 0.04, 0.05 and 0.16 μM, respectively, representing 100-, 82-, and 25-fold improvements of the activity compared to compound 6. Furthermore, the representative compound, 8j, was found to induce significant cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in HeLa cell lines via a concentration-dependent manner. Meanwhile, compound 8b exhibited the most potent tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 5.9 μM, which was almost as active as that of CA-4 (IC50 = 4.2 μM). Additionally, molecular docking analysis suggested that 8b formed stable interactions in the colchicine-binding site of tubulin.

- 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.

-
PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays an important role in cancer cell growth and survival. In this study, a new class of molecules with skeleton of 4-phenyl-2H-benzo[b] [1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-one were designed and synthesized targeting this pathway. Bioassays showed that, among all the molecules, 8d-1 was a pan-class I PI3K/mTOR inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.63 nM against PI3Kα. In a wide panel of protein kinases assays, no off-target interactions of 8d-1 were identified. 8d-1 was orally available, and displayed favorable pharmacokinetic parameters in mice (oral bioavailability of 24.1%). In addition, 8d-1 demonstrated significant efficiency in Hela/A549 tumor xenograft models (TGI of 87.7% at dose of 50 mg/kg in Hela model) without causing significant weight loss and toxicity during 30 days treatment. Based on the bioassays, compound 8d-1 could be used as an anti-cancer drug candidate.

- Substituted Aminoacetamides as Novel Leads for Malaria Treatment
-
Herein we describe the optimization of a phenotypic hit against Plasmodium falciparum based on an aminoacetamide scaffold. This led to N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2-methyl-2-{[4-methyl-3-(morpholinosulfonyl)phenyl]amino}propanamide (compound 28) with low-nanomolar activity against the intraerythrocytic stages of the malaria parasite, and which was found to be inactive in a mammalian cell counter-screen up to 25 μm. Inhibition of gametes in the dual gamete activation assay suggests that this family of compounds may also have transmission blocking capabilities. Whilst we were unable to optimize the aqueous solubility and microsomal stability to a point at which the aminoacetamides would be suitable for in vivo pharmacokinetic and efficacy studies, compound 28 displayed excellent antimalarial potency and selectivity; it could therefore serve as a suitable chemical tool for drug target identification.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,2,3-triazole based 2-aminobenzimidazoles as novel inhibitors of LasR dependent quorum sensing in: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
-
Bacteria regulate their phenotype, growth and population via a signalling pathway known as quorum sensing. In this process, bacteria produce signalling molecules (autoinducers) to recognize their population density. Inhibiting this quorum sensing signalling pathway is one of the potential methods to treat bacterial infection. 2-Aminobenimdazoles are reported to be the strongest inhibitors of quorum sensing against wild-type P. aeruginosa. 1,2,3-Triazole based acyl homoserine lactones are found to be good inhibitors of the quorum sensing LasR receptor. Hence, in our current study, forty 1,2,3-triazole based 2-aminobenzimdazoles were synthesized and characterized using IR, NMR, MS and elemental analysis. A single crystal was developed for N-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(4-nonyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamide (6d). All final compounds were screened for in vitro quorum sensing inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The quorum sensing inhibitory activity was determined in the LasR expressing P. aeruginosa MH602 reporter strain by measuring green fluorescent protein production. Among the title compounds, N-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamide (6i) exhibited good quorum sensing inhibitory activity of 64.99% at 250 μM. N-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamide (6p) exhibited the most promising quorum sensing inhibitory activity with 68.23, 67.10 and 63.67% inhibition at 250, 125 and 62.5 μM, respectively. N-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamide (6o) and N-(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-(4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamide (7l) also exhibited 64.25% and 65.80% quorum sensing inhibition at 250 μM. Compound 6p, the most active quorum sensing inhibitor, also displayed low cytotoxicity at the tested concentrations (25, 50 and 100 μM) against normal human embryonic kidney cell lines. Finally, a docking study using Schrodinger Glide elucidated the possible putative binding mode of the significantly active compound 6p at the active site of the target LasR receptor (PDB ID: 2UV0).

- Coumarin and 3,4-dihydroquinolinone derivatives: Synthesis, antidepressant activity, and molecular docking studies
-
Background: Coumarin and 3,4-dihydroquinolinone nuclei are two heterocyclic rings that are important and widely exploited for the development of bioactive molecules. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of 3,4-dihydroquinolinone and coumarin derivatives (Compounds 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18-20, 23, 24 and 28 are new compounds) and studied their antidepressant activities. Methods: Forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were used to evaluate the antidepressant activity of the target compounds. The most active compound was used to evaluate the exploratory activity of the animals by the open-field test. 5-HT concentration was estimated to evaluate if the compound has an effect on the mouse brain, by using ELISA. A 5-HT1A binding assay was also performed. The biological activities of the compounds were verified by molecular docking studies. The physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of the target compounds were predicted by Discovery Studio and ChemBioDraw Ultra. Results: Of all the compounds tested, compound 7 showed the best antidepressant activity, which decreased the immobility time by 65.52 s in FST. However, in the open-field test, compound 7 did not affect spontaneous activity. The results of 5-HT concentration estimation in vivo showed that compound 7 may have an effect on the mouse brain. Molecular docking results indicated that compound 7 showed significant interactions with residues at the 5-HT1A receptor using homology modeling. The results show that compound 7 exhibits good affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor. Conclusion: Coumarin and 3,4-dihydroquinolinone derivatives synthesized in this study have a significant antidepressant activity. These findings can be useful in the design and synthesis of novel antidepressants.

-
Herein we describe the design and synthesis of a new series of heteroarylpyrimidine/heteroaryltriazine derivatives on the basis of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones as CB2R-selective ligands using a bioisosterism strategy. An acetamide group was explored to displace the enamine linker of the lead compound for the purpose of stereoisomerism elimination and hydrophilicity increase. As a result, some of the synthesized compounds showed high bioactivity and selectivity for CB2R in calcium mobilization assays, and four displayed CB2R agonist activity, with EC50 values below 30 nm. The compound exhibiting the highest agonist activity toward CB2R (EC50=7.53±3.15 nm) had a selectivity over CB1R of more than 1328-fold. Moreover, structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies indicated that the substituents on the nucleus play key roles in the functionality of a ligand, with one such example demonstrating CB2R antagonist activity. Additionally, molecular docking simulations were conducted with the aim of better understanding of these new derivatives in relation to the structural requirements for agonists/antagonists binding to CB2R.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of LP1 derivatives: N-methyl-N-phenylethylamino analogues as novel MOR agonists
-
The opioid pharmacological profile of cis-(-)-N-normetazocine derivatives is deeply affected by the nature of their N-substituents. Here, our efforts were focused on the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel derivatives of the lead LP1, a multitarget opioid analgesic compound featuring an N-phenylpropanamido substituent. LP1 derivatives 5a-d and 6a-d were characterized by flexible groups at the N-substituent that allow them to reposition themselves relative to cis-(-)-N-normetazocine nucleus, thus producing different pharmacological profiles at the mu, delta and kappa opioid receptors (MOR, DOR and KOR) in in vitro and in vivo assays. Among the series, compound 5c, with the best in vitro and in vivo profile, resulted a MOR agonist which displays a KiMOR of 6.1 nM in a competitive binding assay, and an IC50 value of 11.5 nM and an Imax of 72% in measurement of cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cells stably expressing MOR, with a slight lower efficacy than LP1. Moreover, in a mouse model of acute thermal nociception, compound 5c, intraperitoneally administered, exhibits naloxone-reversed antinociceptive properties with an ED50 of 4.33 mg/kg. These results expand our understanding of the importance of N-substituent structural variations in the opioid receptor profile of cis-(-)-N-normetazocine derivatives and identify a new MOR agonist useful for the development of novel opioid analgesics for pain treatment.

- Thioimidazoline based compounds reverse glucocorticoid resistance in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia xenografts
-
Glucocorticoids form a critical component of chemotherapy regimens for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the initial response to glucocorticoid therapy is a major prognostic factor, where resistance is predictive of poor outcome. A high-throughput screen identified four thioimidazoline-containing compounds that reversed dexamethasone resistance in an ALL xenograft derived from a chemoresistant pediatric ALL. The lead compound (1) was synergistic when used in combination with the glucocorticoids, dexamethasone or prednisolone. Synergy was observed in a range of dexamethasone-resistant xenografts representative of B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) and T-cell ALL. We describe here the synthesis of twenty compounds and biological evaluation of thirty two molecules that explore the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of this novel class of glucocorticoid sensitizing compounds. SAR analysis has identified that the most effective dexamethasone sensitizers contain a thioimidazoline acetamide substructure with a large hydrophobic moiety on the acetamide. This journal is

- 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.

- Chloroquinoline-acetamide hybrids: A promising series of potential antiprotozoal agents
-
In an endeavour to develop efficacious antiprotozoal agents 2-[4-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl]acetamide derivatives were synthesized and screened in vitro against the HM1:IMSS strain of E. histolytica and 3D7 strain of P. falciparum. Among the twenty-seven synthesized compounds, eleven evinced propitious anti-amoebic activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.41 to 1.80 μM) lower than the standard drug metronidazole (IC50 1.80 μM). All the compounds inhibited the in vitro growth of P. falciparum (IC50 range: 0.30-33.52 μM). Compounds A22 and A25 were found to be the most active antimalarial derivatives, and compound A16 the most active in inhibiting β-haematin formation; however compound A25 displayed the more favourable safety profile. The crystal structure for the compounds A7, A8, A12 and A21 was also determined. The molecular docking of crystal resolved inhibitors with PfDHFR allowed identification of stabilizing interactions within enzyme active sites. These compounds affirm the potential for further derivatives to enhance antiprotozoal activity whilst retaining their safety profile.

- Narrow SAR in odorant sensing Orco receptor agonists
-
The systematic exploration of a series of triazole-based agonists of the cation channel insect odorant receptor is reported. The structure-activity relationships of independent sections of the molecules are examined. Very small changes to the compound structure were found to exert a large impact on compound activity. Optimal substitutions were combined using a 'mix-and-match' strategy to produce best-in-class compounds that are capable of potently agonizing odorant receptor activity and may form the basis for the identification of a new mode of insect behavior modification.

- Addition of lithium carbenoids to isocyanates: A direct access to synthetically useful N-substituted 2-haloacetamides
-
The addition of lithium carbenoids to isocyanates provides a versatile access to N-substituted 2-haloacetamides: the reaction tolerates the presence of variously functionalized substituents on the nitrogen atom, including sterically demanding ones and reactive halogens. No erosion of the enantiopurity was observed in the case of optically active isocyanates. One of the substrates prepared has been employed in Charette's type chemoselective addition of a Grignard reagent to access an α-chloroketone.

- Synthesis of novel 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones
-
Thiazolidin-4-ones are known to exhibit diverse biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiarrheal, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, antihistaminic, and antifungal activities. In the present investigation, a series of 2-haloacetamides was prepared by reacting chloroacetyl chloride with amines in dry benzene under reflux conditions. The formed 2-haloacetamides reacted with potassium thiocyanate in refluxing dry acetone to afford new 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones. The 5-arylidene-2-imino-3 (napthalen-2yl)- thiazolidin-4-ones were prepared by condensing 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones with substituted benzaldehydes. All the products were characterized by infrared, mass, and 1H and 13C NMR techniques.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 5-benzylidenethiazolidine-2,4- dione derivatives for the treatment of inflammatory diseases
-
Twenty-two compounds based on thiazolidine-2,4-dione moiety were synthesized and evaluated for the inhibitory potency on the production of nitric oxide (NO), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity, and the generation of prostaglandin E2 (PEG2). (Z)-N-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(4- ((2,4-dioxothiazolidin-5-ylidene) methyl) phenoxy) acetamide (3I), superior to the commercial anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin, significantly inhibited iNOS activity (IC50 = 8.66 μM), iNOS-mediated NO, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-derived PGE2 production (IC50 = 4.16 and 23.55 μM, respectively) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Docking study revealed that 3I was perfectly docking into the active site of murine iNOS and suppressed the expression of iNOS protein as evidenced by Western blot analysis. At the dose of 50 mg/kg, oral administration of 3I possessed protective properties in both carrageenan-induced paw edema and adjuvant-induced arthritis rat models.

- Synthesis and biological activity of novel barbituric and thiobarbituric acid derivatives against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
-
Forty-four barbituric acid or thiobarbituric acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their effects on adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes by measuring the expression of adiponectin in vitro. Four compounds (3a, 3o, 3s, 4t) were found to increase the expression of adiponectin and lower the leptin level in 3T3-L1 adipocytes at respective concentration of 10 μM. Among them, 3s showed the most efficacious. Oral administration of 3s effectively reduced body weight, liver weight, and visceral fat and regulated serum levels of biochemical markers in the high-fat/diet-induced Wistar rats. Histopathological evaluation of liver sections by Oil Red O and H&E staining confirmed 3s as a potent, orally active molecule for reducing fat deposition against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
