- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation studies of novel small molecule ENPP1 inhibitors for cancer immunotherapy
-
Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases 1 (ENPP1 or NPP1), is an attractive therapeutic target for various diseases, primarily cancer and mineralization disorders. The ecto-enzyme is located on the cell surface and has been implicated in the control of extracellular levels of nucleotide, nucleoside and (di) phosphate. Recently, it has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes cyclic 2′3′- cGAMP, the endogenous ligand for STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes). STING plays an important role in innate immunity by activating type I interferon in response to cytosolic 2′3′-cGAMP. ENPP1 negatively regulates the STING pathway and hence its inhibition makes it an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the design, optimization and biological evaluation studies of a series of novel non-nucleotidic thioguanine based small molecule inhibitors of ENPP1. The lead compound 43 has shown good in vitro potency, stability in SGF/SIF/PBS, selectivity, ADME properties and pharmacokinetic profile and finally potent anti-tumor response in vivo. These compounds are a good starting point for the development of potentially effective cancer immunotherapy agents.

- Synthesis, molecular modeling, selective aldose reductase inhibition and hypoglycemic activity of novel meglitinides
-
In the present study, a novel generation of selective aldose reductase ALR2 inhibitors with significant hypoglycemic activities was designed and modulated based on rhodanine scaffold joined to an acetamide linker in between two lipophilic moieties. The synthesis of the novel compounds was accomplished throughout simple chemical pathways. Molecular docking was performed on B-cell membrane protein SUR1, aldehyde reductase ALR1 and aldose reductase ALR2 active sites. Compounds 10B, 11B, 12B, 15C, 16C, 26F and 27F displayed the highest hypoglycemic activities with 80.7, 85.2, 87, 82.3, 83.5, 81.4 and 85.3% reduction in blood glucose levels, respectively. They were more potent than the standard hypoglycemic agent repaglinide with 65.4% reduction in blood glucose level. Compounds 12B and 15C with IC50 0.29 and 0.35 μM were more potent than the standard ALR2 inhibitor epalrestat with IC50 0.40 μM. They were selective towards ALR2 over ALR1 134 and 116 folds, respectively. Molecular docking studies matched with the in-vitro and in-vivo results to elucidate the dual activities of both compounds 12B and 15C as potent antagonists for ALR2 over ALR1 and good agonists for the SUR1 protein.

- Synthesis, pharmacological evaluation, and in-silico studies of thiophene derivatives
-
The relevance of Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors in cancer progression has sparked interest in developing multifunctional therapeutics. In the search for potentially active novel compounds with anticancer characteristics, the Gewald reaction was employed to develop different thiophene derivatives (8a–8i). Physicochemical and spectroanalytical investigations verified the molecular structures of the synthesized derivatives. Using an in vitro primary anticancer assay, NCI chose all of the synthesized molecules as prototypes and assessed their anticancer efficacy against a panel of various cancer cell lines representing nine distinct neoplasms. The compounds were found to have a wide range of anticancer activity. Following significant anticancer efficacy against all cell lines in the initial screening, compound 8e was chosen for a five-dose test. Compound 8e inhibited growth at concentrations ranging from 0.411 to 2.8 μM. The antioxidant activity of the compounds was further evaluated using the radical scavenging action of the stable DPPH free radical. In comparison to Ascorbic Acid, compounds 8e and 8i showed outstanding antioxidant activity, while the remaining compounds in the series demonstrated acceptable antioxidant activity. In a molecular docking investigation, 8e demonstrated excellent docking scores inside the binding pocket of the specified pdb-id (6q7a), complementing the results of anticancer screening. Based on our results, novel ethyl 5-acetyl-2-amino-4-methylthiophene-3-carboxylate derivatives could be useful in the development of potential anticancer treatments.

- Anti-melanogenesis and anti-tyrosinase properties of aryl-substituted acetamides of phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazide: Design, synthesis and biological evaluations
-
A series of aryl phenoxy methyl triazole conjugated with thiosemicarbazides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activities in the presence of L-dopa and L-tyrosine as substrates. All the compounds showed tyrosinase inhibition in the sub-micromolar concentration. Among the derivatives, compound 9j bearing benzyl displayed exceptionally high potency against tyrosinase with IC50 value of 0.11 μM and 0.17 μM in the presence of L-tyrosine and L-dopa as substrates which is significantly lower than that of kojic acid as the positive control with an IC50 value of 9.28 μM for L-tyrosine and 9.30 μM for L-dopa. According to Lineweaver–Burk plot, 9j demonstrated an uncompetitive type of inhibition in the kinetic assay. Also, in vitro antioxidant activities determined by DPPH assay recorded an IC50 value of 68.43 μM for 9i. The melanin content of 9j was determined on B16F10 melanoma human cells which demonstrated a significant reduction of the melanin content. Moreover, the binding energies corresponding to the same ligand as well as computer-aided drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies were also carried out. Compound 9j also possessed metal chelation potential correlated to its high anti-TYR activity.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel naturally-inspired multifunctional molecules for the management of Alzheimer's disease
-
In our overall goal to overcome the limitations associated with natural products for the management of Alzheimer's disease and to develop in-vivo active multifunctional cholinergic inhibitors, we embarked on the development of ferulic acid analogs. A systematic SAR study to improve upon the cholinesterase inhibition of ferulic acid with analogs that also had lower logP was carried out. Enzyme inhibition and kinetic studies identified compound 7a as a lead molecule with preferential acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE IC50 = 5.74 ± 0.13 μM; BChE IC50 = 14.05 ± 0.10 μM) compared to the parent molecule ferulic acid (% inhibition of AChE and BChE at 20 μM, 15.19 ± 0.59 and 19.73 ± 0.91, respectively). Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 7a fits well into the active sites of AChE and BChE, forming stable and strong interactions with key residues Asp74, Trp286, and Tyr337 in AChE and with Tyr128, Trp231, Leu286, Ala328, Phe329, and Tyr341 in BChE. Compound 7a was found to be an efficacious antioxidant in a DPPH assay (IC50 = 57.35 ± 0.27 μM), and it also was able to chelate iron. Data from atomic force microscopy images demonstrated that 7a was able to modulate aggregation of amyloid β1-42. Upon oral administration, 7a exhibited promising in-vivo activity in the scopolamine-induced AD animal model and was able to improve spatial memory in cognitive deficit mice in the Y-maze model. Analog 7a could effectively reverse the increased levels of AChE and BChE in scopolamine-treated animals and exhibited potent ex-vivo antioxidant properties. These findings suggest that 7a can act as a lead molecule for the development of naturally-inspired multifunctional molecules for the management of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders.

- Pharmacological and physicochemical profile of arylacetamides as tools against human cancers
-
Arylacetamides are widely used as synthetic intermediates to obtain medicinal substances. This work evaluated in vitro antiproliferative activity of ten 2-Chloro-N-arylacetamides on human normal and cancer cells and detailed in vivo toxicological and anticancer investigations. Initially, cytotoxic colorimetric assays were performed using tumor lines, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and erythrocytes. Compounds 2, 3 and 4 were tested for acute toxicity (50, 150 and 300 mg/kg) and for subacute antitumoral capacity in HCT-116 colon carcinoma-bearing xenograft mice for 15 days at 25 mg/kg/day. Most compounds revealed cytotoxic action on tumor lines and PBMC, but activity on human erythrocytes were not detected. Molecular dipole moment, lipophilicity and electronic constant of aryl substituents had effects upon in vitro antiproliferative capacity. More common in vivo acute behavioral signals with compounds 2, 3 and 4 were muscle relaxation, reduction of spontaneous locomotor activity and number of entries in closed arms and increased number of falls andtime spent in open arms, suggesting diazepam-like anxiolytic properties. Decrease of grabbing strength and overall activity were common, but palpebral ptosis and deaths occurred at 300 mg/kg only. Compounds 2 and 3 reduced colon carcinoma growth (21.2 and 27.5%, respectively, p 0.05) without causing apparent signals of organ-specific toxicity after subacute exposure. The structural chemical simplicity of arylacetamides make them cost-effective alternatives and justifies further improvements to enhance activity, selectivity and the development of pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract: The novel derivatives of morpholine-clubbed 3-substituted coumarinyl acetamide and cinnamide derivatives 5a–5j and 6a–6j have been synthesized via various 2-chloro-N-phenyl acetamide and cinnamoyl chloride derivatives, respectively. The required motif has been generated through Vilsmeier–Haack reaction on 4-hydroxycoumarin annelation of morpholine followed by imine formation and subsequently condensation with various 2-chloro-N-phenylacetamide and cinnamoyl chloride to furnish the desired molecule. The synthesized molecules were characterized by various spectroscopic methods viz IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR. Their antimicrobial activities against various strains of bacteria and fungi have been evaluated, and computational studies have also been performed for all the newly synthesized analogs.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of potential inhibitors of the cysteine proteases cruzain and rhodesain designed by molecular simplification
-
Analogues of 8-chloro-N-(3-morpholinopropyl)-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indol-4-amine 1, a known cruzain inhibitor, were synthesized using a molecular simplification strategy. Five series of analogues were obtained: indole, pyrimidine, quinoline, aniline and pyrrole derivatives. The activity of the compounds was evaluated against the enzymes cruzain and rhodesain as well as against Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote and trypomastigote forms. The 4-aminoquinoline derivatives showed promising activity against both enzymes, with IC50values ranging from 15 to 125?μM. These derivatives were selective inhibitors for the parasitic proteases, being unable to inhibit mammalian cathepsins B and S. The most active compound against cruzain (compound 5a; IC50?=?15?μM) is considerably more synthetically accessible than 1, while retaining its ligand efficiency. As observed for the original lead, compound 5a was shown to be a competitive enzyme inhibitor. In addition, it was also active against T. cruzi (IC50?=?67.7?μM). Interestingly, the pyrimidine derivative 4b, although inactive in enzymatic assays, was highly active against T. cruzi (IC50?=?3.1?μM) with remarkable selectivity index (SI?=?128) compared to uninfected fibroblasts. Both 5a and 4b exhibit drug-like physicochemical properties and are predicted to have a favorable ADME profile, therefore having great potential as candidates for lead optimization in the search for new drugs to treat Chagas disease.

-
A series of terbium complexes with salicylhydrazide-salicylacylhydrazone derivatives were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV/vis spectra and thermal analysis. The luminescence and electrochemical properties of the terbium complexes were investigated. The results show that all the target complexes exhibited characteristic emissions of terbium ions and the complex substituted by the chlorine has the strongest luminescence intensity with the highest quantum yield at 0.609. The introduction of donating electron groups could increase the oxidation potential and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of the terbium complex; however, the introduction of accepting electron groups gave the opposite result.

The present work reports the synthesis and biological activity of a series of 14 benzimidazole derivatives designed to act on the enzyme triosephosphate isomerase of Trypanosoma cruzi (TcTIM). This enzyme is involved in the metabolism of glucose, the only source of energy for the parasite. In this study, we found four compounds that inhibit TcTIM moderately and lack inhibitory activity against human TIM (HsTIM). In vitro studies against T. cruzi epimastigotes showed two compounds that were more active than the reference drug nifurtimox, and these presented a low cytotoxic effect in mouse macrophages (J744 cell line).

Four novel salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone derivatives and their corresponding europium ion complexes were synthesized and characterized, while the luminescence properties and the fluorescence quantum yields of the target complexes were investigated. The results indicated that the ligands favored energy transfers to the emitting energy level of europium ion, and four target europium complexes showed the characteristic luminescence of central europium ion. Besides the luminescence intensity of the complex with methoxy group, which possessed the highest fluorescence quantum yield (0.522), was stronger than that of other complexes. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the target complexes were further investigated by cyclic voltammetry, the results indicated that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels and the oxidation potential of the complexes with electron donating group increased, however, that of the complexes with accepting electron group decreased.

- Azolylthioacetamide: A highly promising scaffold for the development of metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors
-
A new scaffold, azolylthioacetamide, was constructed and assayed against metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs). The obtained molecules specifically inhibited MβL ImiS, and 1c was found to be the most potent inhibitor, with a Ki = 1.2 μM using imipenem as substrate. Structure-activity relationships reveal that the aromatic carboxyl improves inhibitory activity of the inhibitors, but the aliphatic carboxyl does not. Compounds 1c-d and 1h-i showed the best antibacterial activities against E. coli BL21(DE3) cells producing CcrA or ImiS, resulting in 32- and 8-fold reduction in MIC values, respectively; 1c and 1f-j resulted in a reduction in MIC against P. aeruginosa. Docking studies revealed that 1a, 1c, and 1d fit tightly into the substrate binding site of CphA as a proxy for ImiS with the aromatic carboxylate forming interactions with Lys224, the Zn(II) ion, the backbone of Asn233, and hydrophobic portions of the inhibitors aligning with hydrophobic patches of the protein surface.

- Discovery of novel AHLs as potent antiproliferative agents
-
Three series of novel AHL analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines. The SARs investigation indicated that AHLs with a terminal phenyl group, especially those with the chalcone scaffold had remarkably enhanced cytotoxicity than those with the hydrophobic side chains. Besides, some of these compounds were much more potent than 5-Fu and natural OdDHL. Through the detailed SARs discussions, we found that compounds 10a-k and 14 with the 4-amino chalcone scaffold showed excellent inhibition against all the tested cancer cell lines and were much more potent than 5-Fu and AHLs. Such scaffold may act as a template for further lead optimization. Compound 10i with a 3, 4, 5-trimethoxy group was the most potent one against all the tested cancer cell lines. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that analog 11e induced the cellular apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of MCF-7 cells at G2/M phase in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.

- 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.

Compound 5c, which has the highest potency among these compounds, had a half-inhibition concentration (IC50) of 0.08 mmol/L, while polyoxin B as positive drug had IC50 of 0.18 mmol/L. These IC 50 values of compounds 5i, 5m, 5n, and 5s were greater than 0.75 mmol/L, which revealed that those compounds had weak inhibition activity against CHS. Moreover, most of these compounds exhibited moderate to excellent antifungal activities. In detail, to Candida albicans, the activities of compound 5g and 5k were 8-fold stronger than that of fluconazole and 4-fold stronger than that of polyoxin B; to Aspergillus flavus, the activities of 5g, 5l and 5o were16-fold stronger than that of fluconazole and 8-fold stronger than that of polyoxin B; to Cryptococcus neoformans, the minimum-inhibition- concentration (MIC) values of compounds 5c, 5d, 5e and 5l were comparable to those of fluconazole and polyoxin B. The antifungal activities of these compounds were positively correlated to their IC50 values against CHS. Furthermore, these compounds had negligible actions to bacteria. Therefore, these compounds were promising selective antifungal agents.

- Synthesis and anticancer activities of novel 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a] phthalazine derivatives
-
Trying to develop potent and selective anticancer agents, two series of novel 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their antitumor activities were evaluated by MTT method against four selected human cancer cell lines (MGC-803, EC-9706, HeLa and MCF-7). Our results showed that compound 11h exhibited good anticancer activities compared to 5-fluorouracil against the four tested cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 2.0 to 4.5 μM. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that compound 11h induced the cellular early apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in EC-9706.

- Design, synthesis and SAR exploration of tri-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles as inhibitors of the annexin A2-S100A10 protein interaction
-
Recent target validation studies have shown that inhibition of the protein interaction between annexin A2 and the S100A10 protein may have potential therapeutic benefits in cancer. Virtual screening identified certain 3,4,5-trisubstituted 4H-1,2,4-triazoles as moderately potent inhibitors of this interaction. A series of analogues were synthesized based on the 1,2,4-triazole scaffold and were evaluated for inhibition of the annexin A2-S100A10 protein interaction in competitive binding assays. 2-[(5-{[(4,6-Dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]methyl}-4-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl]-N-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]acetamide (36) showed improved potency and was shown to disrupt the native complex between annexin A2 and S100A10.

-
A new series of 4,5 diaryl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione substituted carboxamides have been designed, synthesized and tested for their analgesic and antiinflammatory potential. All the tested compounds exhibit antiinflammatory activity comparable to that of standard drugs rofecoxib and diclofenac. Some compounds demonstrate significant analgesic activity in contrast to reference drugs. Compound 9c has emerged as a highly potent lead compound. Ulcerogenic studies of synthesized compounds and rofecoxib show nil or negligible ulcerogenic effect compared to diclofenac. In silico analysis (docking studies) of the most active compound 9c has revealed hypothetical binding mode of the target compound to the cyclooxygenase isoenzyme (COX-2). Docking study has anticipated stereoselective binding mode for the most active compound 9c.

- In vitro biological investigations of novel piperazine based heterocycles
-
Eleven N.phenyl- and 11 N.benzothiazolyl-2-(4-(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzyl)piperazin-1-yl)acetamides have been synthesised by a simple and efficient method. The 22 novel compounds were tested for their in vitro biological efficacy against two Grampositive bacteria, three Gram-negative bacteria, two fungi and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The bioassay results revealed that the majority of the N.benzothiazole-substituted piperazine derivatives exhibited moderate to good bioefficacies with encouraging MICs. The influence of the presence or absence of various electron-withdrawing or -donating functional groups on the aryl acetamide moiety on the different bioassay results is discussed.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the common arrhythmias that threaten human health. Kv1.5 potassium channel is reported as an efficacious and safe target for the treatment of AF. In this paper, we designed and synthesized three series of compounds through modifying the lead compound RH01617 that was screened out by the pharmacophore model we reported earlier. All of the compounds were evaluated by the whole-patch lamp technology and most of them possessed potent inhibitory activities against Kv1.5. Compounds IIIi and IIIl were evaluated for the target selectivity as well as the pharmacodynamic effects in an isolated rat model. Due to the promising pharmacological behavior, compound IIIl deserves further pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic evaluations.

- Synthesis of coumarin-based 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2ylthio-N-phenyl/benzothiazolyl acetamides as antimicrobial and antituberculosis agents
-
In an attempt to find new agents to fight against microbial infections, a series of coumarin-based 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2ylthio-N-phenyl/benzothiazolyl acetamides was synthesized starting from coumarin-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester obtained through Knoevenagel and Pinner reaction. In vitro antimicrobial activity against several bacteria (S. aureus, B. cereus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, S. typhi, P. vulgaris, S. flexneri), fungi (A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. clavatus, C. albicans) and antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain was assessed. This study shows to what extent the presence of various electron withdrawing/donating substituents on the phenyl or benzothiazole ring affects the activity profiles of the newer molecules. The relationship between activity profiles (MICs, 3.12-25 μg/mL) and the lipophilic character (LogP) of the prepared products is also discussed and the MIC values of the active conjugates seem to correlate to some extent with the lipophilicity profiles. Two (5e and 6c) of the final analogues displayed promising antimycobacterial activity at 12.5 μg/mL of MIC, half fold potent to the standard drug pyrazinamide (6.25 μg/mL). Compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular modeling of coumarin-piperazine derivatives as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
-
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important drug target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. A novel series of coumarin-piperazine derivatives were synthesized and their potency to inhibit human AChE enzyme (hAChE) was studied. All the final compounds were characterized by infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. Docking experiments of the designed coumarin-piperazine derivatives were carried out in order to compare the theoretical and experimental binding affinities toward hAChE, to delineate the inhibitory mechanism. Subsequently, a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study using the molecular field method showed that the hydrophobic field and positive charge center conferred by the coumarin and piperazine moieties demonstrated an inhibitory mechanism. Among the compounds tested, 3f, 3j, and 3m were found to be the most potent inhibitors of hAChE. New coumarin-piperazine derivatives were synthesized and studied for their potency to inhibit the human acetylcholinesterase enzyme (hAChE). Docking experiments were carried out in order to compare the theoretical and experimental binding affinities toward hAChE. The hydrophobic field and positive charge center conferred by the coumarin and piperazine moieties demonstrated an inhibitory mechanism.

- New thiazolidinyl analogs containing pyridine ring: Synthesis, biological evaluation and QSAR studies
-
A series of pyridine derivatives of thiazolidin-4-ones (4a-4o) has been synthesized. Structures of these compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and Mass spectral data. All the synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The results showed that compound 2-[4-methylphenylimino]-5-(1H-pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (4d), 2-(2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazinylidine)-5-(1H-pyridin-2-yl-methylidene)-1,3- thiazolidin-4-one (4h), and 2-[3-nitro-phenylimino]-5-(1H-pyridin-2-yl- methylidene)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (4j) exhibited good anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Compound 4h was found to be the most active compound of the series with an interesting dual anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Docking simulation was performed to position synthesized compounds into the active site of COX-2. The relationships of energy-based docking score with analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities were also investigated by linear regression method. The QSAR models with R 2 of 0.621 and 0.740 were developed for analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities, respectively.

- New quinolinyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles: Synthesis, in vitro antibacterial, antifungal and antituberculosis studies
-
In order to generate hybrid antimicrobial remedies with novel mode of action, two series of quinoline based 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives condensed with N-aryl/benzothiazolyl acetamides were synthesized and the MIC values of the compounds towards eight reference bacterial strains (S. aureus, B. cereus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, S. typhi, P. vulgaris, S. flexneri), four fungi (A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. clavatus, C. albicans) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv were assayed in vitro. Quinoline-6-carboxlic acid was treated with thionyl chloride in refluxing methanol to obtain the corresponding ester derivative to be hydrazinolyzed by 99% hydrazine hydrate in ethanol to produce carbohydrazide intermediate. The carbohydrazide precursor underwent cyclization by carbon disulfide and ethanolic KOH to construct 5-quinolinyl-6-yl-1,3,4- oxadiazol-2-thiol. Substituted 2-chloro-N-phenyl(benzothiazolyl)aceta-mide derivatives were then condensed to 1,3,4-oxadiazole nucleus via sulphur linkage to yield the desired products. Target products bearing N-benzothiazolyl-2- chloroacetamides displayed good inhibitory potential. The biological screening identified that many final analogues exhibited a significant inhibition of the growth of microorganisms at 3.12-25 μg/mL of MIC, which were comparable to control drugs. The influence of the presence of various functional groups to the phenyl/benzothiazolyl ring on activity profiles was investigated. The proposed structures of the newly prepared products were confirmed with the aid of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. These results may provide new insights in the design of a novel pool of bioactive templates.

A novel series of ten N-(aryl)-2-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetamides (5a-j) were synthesized by reacting 2- methylimidazole (4) with the corresponding ω- chloroacetanilides (3a-j) in Dimethly Formamide and potassium carbonate. The compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their anticonvulsant activity. Among the compounds subjected to anticonvulsant activity, compounds 5a, 5b, 5d, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i and 5j, at a dose of 100mg/kg body weight i.p. showed significant anticonvulsant activity (p0.01) as they delayed the onset of convulsions. The compounds 5a, 5d, 5h, 5i and 5j also decreased the duration of seizures significantly (p0.01 and P0.05) and the results were comparable to the diazepam treated group. Compound 5g is the most active molecule as; it increased the onset of convulsion time to nearly two fold and comparable duration of action to that of diazepam.

- Discovery of novel N -phenylphenoxyacetamide derivatives as EthR inhibitors and ethionamide boosters by combining high-throughput screening and synthesis
-
In this paper, we describe the screening of a 14640-compound library using a novel whole mycobacteria phenotypic assay to discover inhibitors of EthR, a transcriptional repressor implicated in the innate resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the second-line antituberculosis drug ethionamide. From this screening a new chemical family of EthR inhibitors bearing an N-phenylphenoxyacetamide motif was identified. The X-ray structure of the most potent compound crystallized with EthR inspired the synthesis of a 960-member focused library. These compounds were tested in vitro using a rapid thermal shift assay on EthR to accelerate the optimization. The best compounds were synthesized on a larger scale and confirmed as potent ethionamide boosters on M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages. Finally, the cocrystallization of the best optimized analogue with EthR revealed an unexpected reorientation of the ligand in the binding pocket.
