- Synthesis of acetamide derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole bearing azinane and their binding interactions with bovine serum albumin using spectroscopic techniques
-
A new series of acetamide derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole and azinane moieties has been synthesized and characterized using1 H NMR,13 C NMR, IR, and EI-MS spectroscopic analysis. The intermediate triazole was synthesized through a sequential synthesis of carboxylate and carbohydrazide. The bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding of the newly synthesized 1,2,4-triazole derivatives was evaluated along with thermodynamics, site-selective binding, and synchronous study. The results obtained by BSA binding as well as thermodynamic studies justify that all the compounds show spontaneous interaction with BSA and could be effectively distributed and eliminated from the body. Therefore, the triazole-based analogs might be a useful strategy for designing new drug systems.

- Probing phenylcarbamoylazinane-1,2,4-triazole amides derivatives as lipoxygenase inhibitors along with cytotoxic, ADME and molecular docking studies
-
Hunting small molecules as anti-inflammatory agents/drugs is an expanding and successful approach to treat several inflammatory diseases such as cancer, asthma, arthritis, and psoriasis. Besides other methods, inflammatory diseases can be treated by lipoxygenase inhibitors, which have a profound influence on the development and progression of inflammation. In the present study, a series of new N-alkyl/aralky/aryl derivatives (7a-o) of 2-(4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoyl)piperidine-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)acetamide was synthesized and screened for their inhibitory potential against the enzyme 15-lipoxygenase. The simple precursor ethyl piperidine-4-carboxylate (a) was successively converted into phenylcarbamoyl derivative (1), hydrazide (2), semicarbazide (3) and N-phenylated 5-(1-phenylcarbamoyl)piperidine-1,2,4-triazole (4), then in combination with electrophiles (6a-o) through further multistep synthesis, final products (7a-o) were generated. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, EIMS, and HREIMS spectrometry. Almost all the synthesized compounds showed excellent inhibitory potential against the tested enzyme. Compounds 7c, 7f, 7d, and 7g displayed potent inhibitory potential (IC50 9.25 ± 0.26 to 21.82 ± 0.35 μM), followed by the compounds 7n, 7h, 7e, 7a, 7b, 7l, and 7o with IC50 values in the range of 24.56 ± 0.45 to 46.91 ± 0.57 μM. Compounds 7c, 7f, 7d exhibited 71.5 to 83.5% cellular viability by MTT assay compared with standard curcumin (76.9%) when assayed at 0.125 mM concentration. In silico ADME studies supported the drug-likeness of most of the molecules. In vitro inhibition studies were substantiated by molecular docking wherein the phenyl group attached to the triazole ring was making a π-δ interaction with Leu607. This work reveals the possibility of a synthetic approach of compounds in relation to lipoxygenase inhibition as potential lead compounds in drug discovery.

- Identification of phenylcarbamoylazinane-1,3,4-oxadiazole amides as lipoxygenase inhibitors with expression analysis and in silico studies
-
In search for new anti-inflammatory agents that inhibit the enzymes of arachidonic acid pathway as the drug targets, the present article describes the screening of 1,3,4-oxadiazole analogues against lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme. The work is based on the synthesis of new N-alkyl/aralky/aryl derivatives (6a-o) of 2-(4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoylpiperidine)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3-ylthio)acetamide which were obtained by the reaction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole (3) with various electrophiles (5a-o), in KOH. The synthesized analogues showed potent to moderate inhibitory activity against the soybean 15-LOX enzyme; especially 6g, 6b, 6a and 6l displayed the potent inhibitory potential with IC50 values 7.15 ± 0.26, 9.32 ± 0.42, 15.83 ± 0.45 & 18.37 ± 0.53 μM, respectively, while excellent to moderate inhibitory profiles with IC50 values in the range of 26.13–98.21 μM were observed from the compounds 6k, 6m, 6j, 6o, 6h, 6f, 6n and 6c. Most of the active compounds exhibited considerable cell viability against blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) at 0.25 mM by MTT assay except 6f, 6h, 6k and 6m which showed around 50% cell viability. Flow cytometry studies of the selected compounds 6a, 6j and 6n revealed that these caused 79.5–88.51% early apoptotic changes in MNCs compared with 4.26% for control quercetin at their respective IC50 values. The relative expression of 5-LOX gene was monitored in MNCs after treatment with these three molecules and all down-regulated the enzyme activity. In silico ADME and molecular docking studies further supported these studies of oxadiazole derivatives and considered it as potential ‘lead’ compounds in drug discovery and development.

- A novel method for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazole-derived heterocyclic compounds: enzyme inhibition and molecular docking studies
-
Two series of new N-aryl/aralkyl derivatives (9a–q) of 2-(4-ethyl-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)acetamide and N-aryl/aralkyl derivatives (10a–q) of 2-(4-phenyl-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)acetamide were synthesized. The methods included successive conversions of thiophen-2-acetic acid (a) into its respective ester, hydrazide and N-aryl/aralkyl 1,3,4-triazole. The target compounds (9a–q; 10a–q) were obtained by the reaction of N-aryl/aralkyl 1,3,4-triazole (5, 6) with various electrophiles, (8a–q), in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and sodium hydroxide at room temperature. The characterization of these compounds was done by FTIR, 1H-, 13C-NMR, EI-MS and HR-EI-MS spectral data. All compounds were evaluated for their enzyme inhibitory potentials against electric eel acetylcholinesterase, AChE (10f, 10d; IC50 values 32.26 ± 0.12, 45.72 ± 0.11?μM, respectively), equine butyrylcholinesterase, BChE (9d, 9l, 9b, 10d, 10h; IC50 values 12.52 ± 0.19, 12.52 ± 0.19, 21.72 ± 0.18, 23.62 ± 0.22, 24.52 ± 0.21?μM, respectively), jack bean urease (10i, 10n, 9e; IC50 values 7.27 ± 0.05, 7.35 ± 0.04, 8.79 ± 0.05?μM, respectively) and yeast α-glucosidase enzymes (9o, 10i; IC50 values 62.94 ± 0.19, and 69.46 ± 0.15?μM, respectively). The molecular docking studies supported these findings. This study provides cheaper bioactive triazole amides as promising future lead molecules.

- Convergent synthesis, free radical scavenging, Lineweaver-Burk plot exploration, hemolysis and in silico study of novel indole-phenyltriazole hybrid bearing acetamides as potent urease inhibitors
-
In the current paper, through a convergent multi-step approach, a library of novel indole-phenyltriazole hybrids containing an amide moiety (9a-k) was synthesized. The structural verification of all synthesized molecules was accomplished by CHN and spectral analyses data. These synthesized bi-heterocyclic derivatives (9a-k) were evaluated for their anti-ulcer potential by inhibitory action against Jack bean urease enzyme and subsequently their structure-activity relationship was perceived. Moreover, these compounds were inspected for cytotoxic profile by hemolytic activity and it was professed that nearly all the synthesized compounds showed low cytotoxicity. In addition, free radical scavenging activity and kinetic analysis were also carried out for these compounds to understand their mode of inhibition. So, it was summated that these derivatives might lead to further research gateways for obtaining better and safe anti-ulcer agents.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of tyrosinase inhibiting novel bi-heterocyclic acetamides: Mechanistic insights through enzyme inhibition, kinetics and computational studies
-
The present research was designed for the selective synthesis of novel bi-heterocyclic acetamides, 9a-n, and their tyrosinase inhibition to overwhelm the problem of melanogenesis. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and EI-MS along with elemental analysis. The inhibitory effects of these bi-heterocyclic acetamides (9a-n) were evaluated against tyrosinase and all these molecules were recognized as potent inhibitors relative to the standard used. The Kinetics mechanism was analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots which explored that compound, 9h, inhibited tyrosinase competitively by forming an enzyme-inhibitor complex. The inhibition constants Ki calculated from Dixon plots for this compound was 0.0027 μM. The computational study was coherent with the experimental records and these ligands exhibited good binding energy values (kcal/mol). The hemolytic analysis revealed their mild cytotoxicity towards red blood cell membranes and hence, these molecules can be pondered as nontoxic medicinal scaffolds for skin pigmentation and related disorders.

- Synthesis, crystal structure and antimicrobial activity of 2-((2-(4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)phenyl)quinazolin-4-yl)oxy)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives against phytopathogens
-
Abstract: A total of eighteen 2-((2-(4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)phenyl)quinazolin-4-yl)oxy)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives were designed and synthesized, via hybrid pharmacophore approach. Among these compounds, chemical structure of compound 4a was unambiguously confirmed by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the compounds were evaluated in vitro for their inhibition activity against several important phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi in agriculture. The obtained results indicated that several compounds demonstrated potent antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). For example, compounds 4c, 4g and 4q had EC50 values of 35.0, 36.5 and 32.4 μg/mL toward this bacterium, respectively, around 1.5 times more active than commercial bactericide bismerthiazol (EC50 = 89.8 μg/mL). Additionally, compounds 4j and 4p were found to display comparable antifungal activity against Gloeosporium fructigenum at 50 μg/mL, to commercial fungicide hymexazol. Finally, the relationships between antibacterial activities and molecular structures of this class of compounds were discussed in detail. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- 12N-substituted matrinol derivatives inhibited the expression of fibrogenic genes via repressing integrin/FAK/PI3K/Akt pathway in hepatic stellate cells
-
Twenty new 12N-substituted matrinol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on collagen α1 (I) (COL1A1) promotor in human hepatic stellate LX-2 cells. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) revealed that introducing a 12N-benzeneaminoacylmethyl substitution might significantly enhance the activity. Compound 8a exhibited the highest inhibitory potency against COL1A1, and its inhibition activity against COL1A1 was further confirmed on both the mRNA and protein levels. It also effectively inhibited the expression of α smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibronectin and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), indicating an extensive inhibitory effect on the expression of fibrogenic genes. The primary mechanism study indicated that it might take action via the Integrin/FAK/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. The results provided powerful information for further structure optimization, and compound 8a was selected as a novel anti-fibrogenic lead for further investigation.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation, and in silico study of some unique multifunctional 1,2,4-triazole acetamides
-
The imperative demand for antibacterial agents and enzyme inhibitors prompted us to synthesize some new compounds, 6a–6k, bearing multifunctional moieties. The target acetamides were derived from 4-phenyl-5-(1-tosylpiperidin-4-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (3). The structural analysis was carried out using modern spectroscopic techniques including IR, NMR, and EIMS spectral analysis. The antibacterial activity was screened against five bacterial strains including three gram-negative and two gram-positive ones. Enzyme inhibition was carried out against lipoxygenase enzyme and results were supported by in silico study. The synthesized compounds were proved to be potent antibacterial agents and enzyme inhibitors.

- Synthesis of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing the quinazolinylpiperidinyl moiety and: N -(substituted phenyl)acetamide group as efficient bactericides against the phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae
-
A series of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (7a-7p) containing the quinazolinylpiperidinyl moiety and N-(substituted phenyl)acetamide group were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities in vitro. These compounds were fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS and IR spectra. Notably, the structure of compound 7p was further confirmed through the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The obtained bioassay results indicated that most of these compounds exhibited good to excellent antibacterial activities against the rice bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). For example, compounds 7e, 7g, 7n, 7l, 7i, 7k, 7a and 7h had EC50 (half-maximal effective concentration) values of 34.5, 38.3, 39.0, 46.0, 47.5, 54.6, 55.0 and 58.2 μg mL-1 against the bacterium, respectively, which were significantly lower than the control agent Bismerthiazol (85.6 μg mL-1). Additionally, antifungal experiments demonstrated that all the compounds did possess weak inhibition capabilities against three phytopathogenic fungi at 50 μg mL-1, except in the cases of compounds 7e and 7p against the fungus Gibberella zeae. The above experimental results proved that 1,2,4-triazole derivatives bearing both a quinazolinylpiperidinyl fragment and N-(substituted phenyl)acetamide unit are promising candidates for the development of new agricultural bactericides against the pathogenic bacterium Xoo, deserving further investigation in the future.

- Searching for New Leads for Tuberculosis: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 2-Quinolin-4-yloxyacetamides
-
In this study, a new series of more than 60 quinoline derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv). Apart from the SAR exploration around the initial hits, the optimization process focused on the improvement of the physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity, and metabolic stability of the series. The best compounds obtained exhibited MIC values in the low micromolar range, excellent intracellular antimycobacterial activity, and an improved physicochemical profile without cytotoxic effects. Further investigation revealed that the amide bond was the source for the poor blood stability observed, while some of the compounds exhibited hERG affinity. Compound 83 which contains a benzoxazole ring instead of the amide group was found to be a good alternative, with good blood stability and no hERG affinity, providing new opportunities for the series. Overall, the obtained results suggest that further optimization of solubility and microsomal stability of the series could provide a strong lead for a new anti-TB drug development program.

- Synthesis, characterization and biological activity of some new S-substituted derivatives of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thiol
-
Molecules with multi-functional groups are being synthesized to acquire more potent molecules. Two series of S-substituted derivatives of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-thiol (4) were synthesized and also evaluated for their biological activities. The 2-chlorobenzoic acid (1) was stepped up to ethyl 2-chlorobenzoate (2), 2-chlorobenzohydrazide (3) and 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4- Oxadiazol-2-thiol (4). The molecule 4 was made to react with N-substituted-2-bromoacetamide, 6a-f, to yield N-substituted-2-((5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-yl)sulfanyl)acetamide, 7a-f. Simultaneously, the compound 4 was converted to 2-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2- ylthio)acetohydrazide (9) which on reaction with different aldehydes, 10a-g, resulted N'-substituted- 2-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-ylthio)acetohydrazide, 11a-g. The proposed structures of the molecules were supported by spectral analysis and the series 7a-f was found to be better antibacterial agents and lipoxygenase enzyme inhibitors as compared to 11a-g.

- Synthesis of ranolazine derivatives containing the (1S,4S)-2,5- diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane moiety and their evaluation as vasodilating agents
-
Two diazabicyclic analogues of ranolazine, (S,S,S)-5 and (S,S,R)-5, and their epimeric mixture were synthesized. Furthermore, their vasomotor effects on rat aorta rings precontracted with phenylephrine were analyzed. These compounds showed vasodilating effects significantly greater than ranolazine. The vasodilating activities of these analogues have two components, one that depends on the endothelium, due to the release of NO, and another one due to a direct effect on the vascular smooth muscle. The compounds [(S,S,S)(S,S,R)]-5 and (S,S,R)-5 induce, in a manner similar to ranolazine, the release of a prostanoid from the cyclooxygenase pathway, whose vasoconstrictor effect is masked by the predominant vasodilation induced by these compounds. Two diazabicyclic analogues of ranolazine, (S,S,S)-5 and (S,S,R)-5, and their epimeric mixture showed a vasodilating effect significantly greater than ranolazine. This vasodilating activity has two components, one of them endothelium dependent, due to the release of NO, and the other one due to a direct effect on the vascular smooth muscle.

-
In the described research work, a new series of N-substituted derivatives of 5-(4- chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-yl-2-sulfanyl acetamide has been synthesized. The synthesis was carried out by converting 4-chlorobenzoic acid (1) into ethyl 4-chlorobenzoate (2), 4- chlorobenzohydrazide (3) and then 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-thiol (4) respectively. The target molecules 6a-o were synthesized by reacting compound 4 with different N-alkyl/aryl substituted 2-bromoacetamide (5a-o) in equimolar ratios of using DMF and sodium hydride (NaH). The structure of all the synthesized compounds was confirmed by spectral data like EI-MS, IR and 1H-NMR. The compounds were also analysed for antimicrobial & hemolytic activity and most of them were found active against the selected microbial species at variable extent relative to reference standards. But 6f and 6o were the active against the selected panel of microbes and former was most potent one. This series revealed less toxicity and may consider for further biological screening and application trial except 6g and 6j, exhibiting high cytotoxicity.

- Discovery of 3-methyl-N-(1-oxy-3′,4′,5′,6′- tetrahydro-2′H-[2,4′-bipyridine]-1′-ylmethyl)benzamide (ABT-670), an orally bioavailable dopamine D4 agonist for the treatment of erectile dysfunction
-
The goal of this study was to identify a structurally distinct D4-selective agonist with superior oral bioavailability to our first-generation clinical candidate 1a (ABT-724) for the potential treatment of erectile dysfunction. Arylpiperazines such as (heteroarylmethyl)piperazine 1a, benzamide 2, and acetamides such as 3a,b exhibit poor oral bioavailability. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies with the arylpiperidine template provided potent partial agonists such as 4d and 5k that demonstrated no improvement in oral bioavailability. Further optimization with the (N-oxy-2-pyridinyl)piperidine template led to the discovery of compound 6b (ABT-670), which exhibited excellent oral bioavailability in rat, dog, and monkey (68%, 85%, and 91%, respectively) with comparable efficacy, safety, and tolerability to 1a. The N-oxy-2-pyridinyl moiety not only provided the structural motif required for agonist function but also reduced metabolism rates. The SAR study leading to the discovery of 6b is described herein.

- Pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids as endothelin antagonists. 4. Side chain conformational restriction leads to ET(B) selectivity
-
When the dialkylacetamide side chain of the ETA-selective antagonist ABT-627 is replaced with a 2,6-dialkylacetanilide, the resultant analogues show a complete reversal of receptor selectivity, preferring ETB over ETA. By optimizing the aniline substitution pattern, as well as the alkoxy group on the 2-aryl substituent, it is possible to prepare antagonists with subnanomolar affinity for ETB and with selectivities in excess of 4000-fold. A number of these compounds also show promising pharmacokinetic profiles; a useful balance of properties is found in A-192621 (38). Pharmacology studies with A-192621 serve to reveal the role of the ETB receptor in modulating blood pressure; the observed hypertensive response to persistent ETB blockade is consistent with previous postulates and indicates that ETB-selective antagonists may not be suitable as agents for long-term systemic therapy.
