- Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of 2,6-Dimethyl-4-aminopyrimidine Hydrazones as PDHc-E1 Inhibitors with a Novel Binding Mode
-
A series of novel 2,6-dimethyl-4-aminopyrimidine hydrazones 5 were rationally designed and synthesized as pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 (PDHc-E1) inhibitors. Compounds 5 strongly inhibited Escherichia coli (E. coli) PDHc-E1 (IC50 values 0.94-15.80 μM). As revealed by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, enzymatic, and inhibition kinetic analyses, compounds 5 competitively inhibited PDHc-E1 and bound in a "straight"pattern at the E. coli PDHc-E1 active site, which is a new binding mode. In in vitro antifungal assays, most compounds 5 at 50 μg/mL showed more than 80% inhibition against the mycelial growth of six tested phytopathogenic fungi, including Botrytis cinerea, Monilia fructigena, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, andBotryosphaeria dothidea. Notably, 5f and 5i were 1.8-380 fold more potent against M. fructigena than the commercial fungicides captan and chlorothalonil. In vivo, 5f and 5i controlled the growth of M. fructigena comparably to the commercial fungicide tebuconazole. Thus, 5f and 5i have potential commercial value for the control of peach brown rot caused by M. fructigena.

- Discovery of 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-one-containing benzamide derivatives targeting FtsZ as highly potent agents of killing a variety of MDR bacteria strains
-
The spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA), has created a need for new antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. The bacterial division protein FtsZ has been identified as a novel drug target that can be exploited clinically. As part of an ongoing effort to develop FtsZ-targeting antibacterial agents, we describe herein the design, synthesis and bioactivity of six series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-one-containing, 1,2,4-triazol-3-one-containing and pyrazolin-5-one-containing benzamide derivatives. Among them, compound A14 was found to be the most potent antibacterial agent, much better than clinical drugs such as ciprofloxacin, linezolid and erythromycin against all the tested gram-positive strains, particularly methicillin-resistant, penicillin-resistant and clinical isolated S. aureus. Subsequent studies on biological activities and docking analyses proved that A14 functioned as an effective compound targeting FtsZ. Preliminary SAR indicated a general direction for further optimization of these novel analogues. Taken together, this research provides a promising chemotype for developing newer FtsZ-targeting bactericidal agents.

- Synthesis, in vitro Antimicrobial, and Cytotoxic Activities of New 1,3,4-Oxadiazin-5(6H)-one Derivatives from Dehydroabietic Acid
-
A series of new 1,3,4-oxadiazin-5(6H)-one derivatives (6a–n) of dehydroabietic acid were designed and synthesized as potential antimicrobial and antitumor agents. Their structures were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. All the title compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against four bacterial and three fungal strains using the serial dilution method. Among them, compound 6e showed the highest antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 1.9 μg/mL. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxic activities of the title compounds were also assayed against three human carcinoma cell lines (MCF-7, SMMC-7721, and HeLa) through the MTT colorimetric method. As a result, compounds 6b, 6g, 6k, and 6m exhibited significant inhibition against at least one cell line with IC50 values below 10 μM. Compound 6m was especially found to be the most potent derivative with IC50 values of 2.26 ± 0.23, 0.97 ± 0.11, and 1.89 ± 0.31 μM against MCF-7, SMMC-7721, and HeLa cells, respectively, comparable to positive control etoposide.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of (1-aryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanone derivatives as tubulin inhibitors
-
A series of (1-aryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanones (8a-p, 9a-p) and ketoxime (10c) derivatives were designed and synthesized as antitubulin agents. All of the target compounds were evaluated for the in vitro anti-proliferative activities against three tumor cell lines (A549, HT-1080, SGC-7901). The most promising compounds in this class were (1-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanone (9c) and its ketoxime derivative (10c), which significantly inhibited tumor cells growth with IC50 value of 0.054–0.16 μM. Meanwhile, compound 9c exhibited effectively inhibitory activity of tubulin polymerization. Consistent with its antitubulin activity, compound 9c could destructively damage microtubule network and arrest SGC-7901 cell cycle at G2/M phase significantly. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) and conformational analysis indicate that methyl group at C4-position of C-ring is critical for the activities and the amino group at the C5-position of B-ring plays a negative role in maintaining bioactivity. Furthermore, a molecular docking study was performed to elucidate its binding mode at the colchicine site in the tubulin heterodimer.

- Synthesis, fungicidal activity, structure-activity relationship and density functional theory studies of novel oxime ether derivatives containing 1-aryl-3-oxypyrazoles
-
A series of 16 oxime ether derivatives containing 1-aryl-3-oxypyrazoles were synthesised, and the structure of one of them, (E)-methyl 2-(2-({(1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-oxy}methyl)phenyl)-2-(methoxyimino)acetate was determined by X-ray diffraction crystallography. Preliminary bioassays indicated that some of these compounds exhibited very good fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani, especially the ester 2-(2-({(1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-oxy}methyl)phenyl)-2-(methoxyimino)acetate, which displayed greater activity than control compound pyraclostrobin at a dosage of 0.1 μg mL-1. The relationship between structure and fungicidal activity was discussed. Density functional theory studies of the 3-methyl heterocyclic ester and the 4-chorophenyl heterocyclic N-methylamide were carried out and the results discussed in terms of the wide difference in fungicidal activity shown by each compound.

- Design, synthesis, crystal structures, and insecticidal activities of eight-membered azabridge neonicotinoid analogues
-
Three series of novel azabridge neonicotinoid analogues were designed and synthesized, which were constructed by starting material A, glutaraldehyde, and primary amine hydrochlorides (aliphatic amines, phenylhydrazines, and anilines). Most of the eight-membered azabridge compounds presented higher insecticidal activities than oxabridged compound B against cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora) and brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens). Compared with imidacloprid, some azabridged compounds exhibited excellent insecticidal activity against brown planthopper. The crystal structures and bioassay indicated that changing bridge atoms from O to N could lead to entirely different conformations, which might be the important influential factor of the bioactivities.

- Design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 6,7-disubstituted-4- phenoxyquinoline derivatives as potential antitumor agents
-
Two series of 6,7-disubstituted-4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives bearing 2,4-imidazolinedione/pyrazolone scaffold were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their c-Met kinase inhibition and cytotoxicity against HT-29, H460, A549, MKN-45, and U87MG cancer cell lines in vitro. The pharmacological data indicated that most of the tested compounds showed moderate to significant cytotoxicity and high selectivity against HT-29, H460 and A549 cancer cell lines as compared with foretinib. The SAR analyses indicated that compounds with halogen groups, especially trifluoromethyl groups at 2-position on the phenyl ring (moiety B) were more effective. In this study, a promising compound 17 (c-Met IC50 = 2.20 nM, a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor) showed the most potent antitumor activities with IC50 values of 0.14 μM, 0.18 μM, 0.09 μM, 0.03 μM, and 1.06 μM against HT-29, H460, A549, MKN-45, and U87MG cell lines, respectively.
