- Structural improvement of new thiazolyl-isatin derivatives produces potent and selective trypanocidal and leishmanicidal compounds
-
Neglected diseases are a group of transmissible diseases that occur mostly in countries in tropical climates. Among this group, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis stand out, considered threats to global health. Treatment for these diseases is limited. Therefore, there is a need for new therapies against these diseases. In this sense, our proposal consisted of developing two series of compounds, using a molecular hybridization of the heterocyclic isatin and thiazole. The isatin and thiazole ring are important scaffold for several biological disorders, including antiparasitic ones. Herein, thiazolyl-isatin has been synthesized from respective thiosemicarbazone or phenyl-thiosemicarbazone, being some of these new thiazolyl-isatin toxic for trypomastigotes without affecting macrophages viability. From this series, compounds 2e (IC50 = 4.43 μM), 2j (IC50 = 2.05 μM), 2l (IC50 = 4.12 μM) and 2m (1.72 μM) showed the best anti-T. cruzi activity for trypomastigote form presenting a selectivity index higher than Benznidazole (BZN). Compounds 2j, 2l and 2m were able to induce a significantly labelling compatible with necrosis in trypomastigotes. Analysis by scanning electron microscopy showed that T. cruzi trypomastigote cells treated with the compound 2m from IC50 concentrations, promoted changes in the shape, flagella and surface of body causing of the parasite dead. Concerning leishmanicidal evaluation against L. amazonensis and L. infantum, compounds 2l (IC50 = 7.36 and 7.97 μM, respectively) and 2m (6.17 and 6.04 μM, respectively) showed the best activity for promastigote form, besides showed a higher selectivity than Miltefosine. Thus, compounds 2l and 2m showed dual in vitro trypanosomicidal and leishmanicidal activities. A structural activity relationship study showed that thiazolyl-isatin derivatives from phenyl-thiosemicarbazone (2a-m) were, in general, more active than thiazolyl-isatin derivatives from thiosemicarbazone (1a-g). Crystallography studies revealed a different configuration between series 1a-g and 2a-m. The configuration and spatial arrangement divergent between the two sub-series could explain the improved biological activity profile of 2a-m sub-series.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of certain hydrazonoindolin-2-one derivatives as new potent anti-proliferative agents
-
In connection with our research program on the development of novel indolin-2-one-based anticancer candidates, herein we report the design and synthesis of different series of hydrazonoindolin-2-ones 3a-e, 5a-e, 7a-c, and 10a-l. The synthesised derivatives were in vitro evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity towards lung A-549, colon HT-29, and breast ZR-75 human cancer cell lines. Compounds 5b, 5c, 7b, and 10e emerged as the most potent derivatives with average IC50 values of 4.37, 2.53, 2.14, and 4.66 μM, respectively, which are superior to Sunitinib (average IC50 = 8.11 μM). Furthermore, compounds 7b and 10e were evaluated for their effects on cell cycle progression and levels of phosphorylated retinoblastoma (Rb) protein in the A-549 cancer cell line. Moreover, 7b and 10e inhibited the cell growth of the multidrug-resistant lung cancer NCI-H69AR cell line with IC50 = 16 μM. In addition, the cytotoxic activities of 7b and 10e were assessed towards three non-tumorigenic cell lines (Intestine IEC-6, Breast MCF-10A, and Fibroblast Swiss-3t3) where both compounds displayed mean tumor selectivity index (1.6 and 1.8) higher than that of Sunitinib (1.4).

- (3Z)-3-(2-[4-(aryl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]hydrazin-1-ylidene)-2,3-dihydro- 1H -indol-2-one derivatives as dual inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
-
The HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is a validated and deeply explored biological target for the treatment of AIDS. However, only drugs targeting the RT-associated DNA polymerase (DP) function have been approved for clinical use.We designed and synthesised a new generation of HIV-1 RT inhibitors, based on the (3Z)-3-(2-[4-(aryl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]hydrazin-1-ylidene)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one scaffold. These compounds are active towards both RT-associated functions, DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H. The structure, biological activity and mode of action of the new derivatives have been investigated. In particular, the nature of the aromatic group in the position 4 of the thiazole ring plays a key role in the modulation of the activity towards the two RT-associated functions.
