- Novel [(3-indolylmethylene)hydrazono]indolin-2-ones as apoptotic anti-proliferative agents: design, synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation
-
On account of their significance as apoptosis inducing agents, merging indole and 3-hydrazinoindolin-2-one scaffolds is a logic tactic for designing pro-apoptotic agents. Consequently, 27 hybrids (6a–r, 9a–f and 11a–c) were synthesised and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. SAR studies unravelled that N-propylindole derivatives were the most active compounds such as 6n (MCF-7; IC50=1.04 μM), which displayed a significant decrease of cell population in the G2/M phase and significant increase in the early and late apoptosis by 19-folds in Annexin-V-FTIC assay. Also, 6n increased the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, cytochrome C and Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2. Moreover, compounds 6i, 6j, 6n and 6q generated ROS by significant increase in the level of SOD and depletion of the levels of CAT and GSH-Px in MCF-7.

- Solvent Effects: Syntheses of 3,3-Difluorooxindoles and 3-Fluorooxindoles from Hydrazonoindolin-2-one by Selectfluor
-
Efficient syntheses of 3,3-difluorooxindoles and 3-fluorooxindoles via fluorination of hydrazonoindolin-2-one with Selectfluor are reported. Under different solvent conditions, this method produced 3,3-difluorooxindoles and 3-fluorooxindoles selectively. The broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions make this transformation a valuable method in drug discovery and development.

- New hydrazonoindolin-2-ones: Synthesis, exploration of the possible anti-proliferative mechanism of action and encapsulation into PLGA microspheres
-
The synthesis and molecular characterization of new isatin-based hydrazonoindolin-2-ones 4a-o and 7a-e are reported. The in vitro anti-proliferative potential of the synthesized compounds 4a-o and 7a-e was examined against HT-29 (colon), ZR-75 (breast) and A549 (lung) human cancer cell lines. Compounds 7b, 7d and 7e were the most active congeners against the tested human cancer cell lines with average IC50 values of 4.77, 3.39 and 2.37 μM, respectively, as compared with the reference isatin-based drug, sunitinib, which exhibited an average IC50 value of 8.11 μM. Compound 7e was selected for further pharmacological evaluation in order to gain insight into its possible mechanism of action. It increased caspase 3/7 activity by 2.4- and 1.85-fold between 4 and 8 h of treatment, respectively, at 10 μM and it caused a decrease in the percentage of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle with a corresponding increase in the S-phase. In addition, compound 7e increased phosphorylated tyrosine (p-Tyr) levels nearly two-fold with an apparent IC50 value of 3.8 μM. The 7e-loaded PLGA microspheres were prepared using a modified emulsion-solvent diffusion method. The average encapsulation efficiency of the 7e-loaded PLGA microspheres was 85% ± 1.3. While, the in vitro release profile of the 7e-loaded microspheres was characterized by slow and continuous release of compound 7e during 21 days and the release curve was fitted to zero order kinetics. Incorporation of 7e into PLGA microspheres improved its in vitro anti-proliferative activity toward the human cancer cell line A549 after 120 h incubation period with an IC50 value less than 0.8 μM.

- An improved synthesis of sunitinib malate via a solvent-free decarboxylation process
-
To search for an economical and convenient synthesis of sunitinib and its malate salt, optimization of a scalable synthetic route was explored by designing a standard experimental protocol on laboratory scale using commercially available materials including acetyl ethyl acetate, 4-fluoroaniline, and N 1,N 1-diethylethane-1,2-diamine. The optimal conditions were established based on investigating the main reaction steps, including cyclization, hydrolysis, decarboxylation, formylation, and condensation, giving optimized yields for each step of 94.4, 97.6, 98.5, 97.1, 91.0, 86.3, 85.5, 88.2, 99.1, 97.3, and 58.7 %, respectively. The synthesis process of 5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid as the important intermediate was significantly improved by using solvent-free decarboxylation instead of the traditional process in a high-boiling-point solvent. The subsequent formylation was conducted directly using the dichloromethane solution of the crude product from decarboxylation, leading to an almost quantitative combined yield of these two steps. The overall yields of sunitinib and its salt using the optimal synthesis process were 67.3 and 40.0 % based on acetyl ethyl acetate. The obtained data could be used as reference for future industrialization, especially for avoiding expensive solvents and reducing reaction time.

- A cinchona alkaloid catalyzed enantioselective sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction of isoindigos: Construction of chiral bispirooxindole tetrahydrothiophenes with vicinal quaternary spirocenters
-
A cinchona alkaloid catalyzed diastereoselective and enantioselective sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction between 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and isoindigos has been successfully developed to afford the highly congested bispirooxindole tetrahydrothiophenes with vicinal quaternary spirocenters in high yields (up to 91%), excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr), and good enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Some synthetic transformations of the reaction products were also studied.

- Design, synthesis and in Vitro antiproliferative activity of novel isatin-quinazoline hybrids
-
Using a molecular hybridization approach, a new series of isatin-quinazoline hybrids 15a-o was designed and synthesized via two different synthetic routes. The target compounds 15a-o were prepared by the reaction of quinazoline hydrazines 12a-e with indoline-2,3-diones 13a-c or by treating 4-chloroquinazoline derivatives 11a-e with isatin hydrazones 14a-c. The in vitro anticancer activity of the newly synthesized hybrids was evaluated against the liver HepG2, breast MCF-7 and colon HT-29 cancer cell lines. A distinctive selective growth inhibitory effect was observed towards the HepG2 cancer cell line. Compounds 15b, 15g and 15l displayed the highest potency, with IC50 values ranging from 1.0 ± 0.2 to 2.4 ± 0.4 mM, and they were able to induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells, as evidenced by enhanced expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, in addition to increased caspase-3 levels.

- Design, synthesis and QSAR study of certain isatin-pyridine hybrids as potential anti-proliferative agents
-
A hybrid pharmacophore approach was adopted to design and synthesize new series of isatin-pyridine hybrids. All the newly prepared hybrids (5a-o, 8 and 11a-d) were in vitro evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against three human cancer cell lines, namely HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma, A549 lung cancer and MCF-7 breast cancer. Compound 8 emerged as the most active member against HepG2 cell line (ICinf50/inf = 2.5 ± 0.39 μM), with 2.7-fold increased activity than the reference drug, doxorubicin (ICinf50/inf = 6.9 ± 2.05 μM). Whilst, compound 11c was found to be the most potent counterpart against A549 and MCF-7 cell lines with ICinf50/inf values of 10.8 ± 1.15 and 6.3 ± 0.79, respectively. The weightiness of the utilization of non-cleavable linker, as the chalcone linker, and simplification of the first group, was explored via the SAR study. Furthermore, a QSAR model was built to explore the structural requirements controlling the cytotoxic activities. Notably, the predicted activities by the QSAR model were very close to those experimentally observed, hinting that this model could be safely applied for prediction of more efficacious hits comprising the same skeletal framework. Finally, a theoretical kinetic study was established to predict the ADME of the active hybrids.

- Analogue-based design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-substituted-(methylenehydrazono)indolin-2-ones as anticancer agents
-
The docking studies on CDK2 and GSK-3β inspired us to synthesis a series of indoline-2,3-dione hydrazones 10a-l. Treatment of indoline-2,3-dione derivatives 7a-d with hydrazine gave 3-hydrazonoindolin-2-ones 8a-d which were reacted with the appropriate aldehydes 9a-c to yield 3-substituted- (methylenehydrazono)indolin-2-ones 10a-l. Compounds 10a-l showed a significant anticancer activity against human breast cell line MCF-7. Compounds 10c, f, i exhibited the highest activity almost the same of doxorubicin (IC50 = 6.10 μM) with IC50 = 7.75, 6.75, 6.25 μM, respectively.

- Synthesis and antitumor activity of 5-[1-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-5- halogenated-2-oxoindolin-(3Z)-ylidenemethyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3- carboxamides
-
We report herein the design and synthesis of novel 1-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl]indolin-2-one derivatives based on the structural features of Sunitinib, a known multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and TMP-20, a previously discovered compound with good antitumor activity in our lab. These newly synthesized derivatives were evaluated for in vitro activity against five human cancer cell lines and VEGF/bFGF-stimulated HUVECs. Results revealed that all of the target compounds 1a-p show potent antitumor activity, compounds 1e-h (IC50's: 0.45-5.08 μM) are more active than Sunitinib (IC 50's: 1.35-6.61 μM), and the most active compound 1h (IC 50: 0.47-3.11 μM) is 2.1-4.6-fold more potent than Sunitinib against all five cancer cell lines. In addition, like Sunitinib, 1a-p have higher selectivity on VEGF-stimulated HUVEC other than bFGF-stimulated HUVEC.
