- Identification of novel 1,3-diaryl-1,2,4-triazole-capped histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors with potential anti-gastric cancer activity
-
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has emerged as a critical regulator of many cellular pathways in tumors due to its unique structure basis and abundant substrate types. Over the past few decades, the role played by HDAC6 inhibitors as anticancer agents has sparked great interest of biochemists worldwide. However, they were less reported for gastric cancer therapy. In this paper, with the help of bioisosteric replacement, in-house library screening, and lead optimization strategies, we designed, synthesized and verified a series of 1,3-diaryl-1,2,4-triazole-capped HDAC6 inhibitors with promising anti-gastric cancer activities. Amongst, compound 9r displayed the best inhibitory activity towards HDAC6 (IC50 = 30.6 nM), with 128-fold selectivity over HDAC1. Further BLI and CETSA assay proved the high affinity of 9r to HDAC6. In addition, 9r could dose-dependently upregulate the levels of acetylated α-tubulin, without significant effect on acetylated histone H3 in MGC803 cells. Besides, 9r exhibited potent antiproliferative effect on MGC803 cells, and promoted apoptosis and suppressed the metastasis without obvious toxicity, suggesting 9r would serve as a potential lead compound for the development of novel therapeutic agents of gastric cancer.

- Sequential [3+2] annulation reaction of prop-2-ynylsulfonium salts and hydrazonyl chlorides: Synthesis of pyrazoles containing functional motifs
-
A novel sequential [3+2] annulation reaction has been developed using prop-2-ynylsulfonium salts and hydrazonyl chlorides, affording a series of pyrazoles with functional motifs that can be post modified in the preparation of various drugs or drug candidates. Further transformation and gram-scale operations could also be achieved efficiently. This journal is

- From Phenylhydrazone to 1H-1,2,4-Triazoles via Nitrification, Reduction and Cyclization
-
Herein we report an annulation of phenylhydrazone via a tandem nitrification, reduction, cyclization protocol employing cobalt nitrate and 1,2-dichloroethane to produce substituted 1H-1,2,4-triazoles. Notably, 1,2-dichloroethane serves both the solvent and a hydrogen source for transfer hydrogenation. This methodology works under mild conditions, providing a direct approach for the synthesis of 1H-1,2,4-triazoles. (Figure presented.).

- Spirotriazoline oxindoles: A novel chemical scaffold with in vitro anticancer properties
-
The design and synthesis of a library of twenty-six spirotriazoline oxindoles and their in vitro evaluation as potential anticancer agents is reported. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds was assessed against four different cancer cell lines (HCT-116 p53 (+/+), HCT-116 p53 (?/?), MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231). Four spirotriazoline oxindoles showed selectivity against the four cancer cell lines tested over the non-cancer derived HEK 293T cell line. To characterize the molecular mechanisms involved in compound antitumoral activity, two spirotriazoline oxindoles were selected for further studies. Both compounds were able to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase and upregulated p53 steady-state levels, while decreasing its main inhibitor MDM2, in HCT-116 cells. Importantly, cytotoxic effects induced by spirotriazoline oxindoles occurred in cancer cells without eliciting cell death in non-malignant CCD-18Co human colon fibroblasts. In addition, four spirotriazoline oxindoles showed selectivity against the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 3.5–6.7 μM. These results highlight the anticancer potential of spirotriazoline oxindoles, especially when dealing with aggressive and challenging triple-negative breast cancer.
