- 1-(2-Hydroxybenzoyl)-thiosemicarbazides are promising antimicrobial agents targeting D-alanine-D-alanine ligase in bacterio
-
The bacterial cell wall and the enzymes involved in peptidoglycan synthesis are privileged targets for the development of novel antibacterial agents. In this work, a series of 1-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-thiosemicarbazides inhibitors of D-Ala-D-Ala ligase (Ddl) were designed and synthesized in order to target resistant strains of bacteria. Among these, the 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide 29 was identified as a potent Ddl inhibitor with activity in the micromolar range. This compound, possessing strong antimicrobial activity including against multidrug resistant strains, was proven to act through a bactericidal mechanism and demonstrated very low cytotoxicity on THP-1 human monocytic cell line. Inhibition of Ddl activity by 29 was confirmed in bacterio using UPLC-MS/MS by demonstrating an increase in D-Ala intracellular pools accompanied by a commensurate decrease in D-Ala-D-Ala. Further structure-activity relationships (SARs) studies provided evidence that the hydroxyl substituent in the 2-position (R1) of the benzoylthiosemicarbazide scaffold is essential for the enzymatic inhibition. This work thus highlights the 1-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-thiosemicarbazide motif as a very promising tool for the development of novel antibacterial compounds acting through an interesting mechanism of action and low cytotoxicity.

- Targeted Drug Delivery in Covalent Organic Nanosheets (CONs) via Sequential Postsynthetic Modification
-
Covalent organic nanosheets (CONs) have emerged as a new class of functional two-dimensional (2D) porous organic polymeric materials with a high accessible surface, diverse functionality, and chemical stability. They could become versatile candidates for targeted drug delivery. Despite their many advantages, there are limitations to their use for target specific drug delivery. We anticipated that these drawbacks could be overturned by judicious postsynthetic modification steps to use CONs for targeted drug delivery. The postsynthetic modification would not only produce the desired functionality, it would also help to exfoliate to CONs as well. In order to meet this requirement, we have developed a facile, salt-mediated synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). The COFs were subjected to sequential postsynthetic modifications to yield functionalized targeted CONs for targeted delivery of 5-fluorouracil to breast cancer cells. This postsynthetic modification resulted in simultaneous chemical delamination and functionalization to targeted CONs. Targeted CONs showed sustained release of the drug to the cancer cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, which led to cancer cell death via apoptosis. Considering the easy and facile COF synthesis, functionality based postsynthetic modifications, and chemical delamination to CONs for potential advantageous targeted drug delivery, this process can have a significant impact in biomedical applications.

- Anti-proliferative effect of Fe(III) complexed with 1-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde)-4-aminosalicylhydrazone in HepG2 cells
-
We previously developed a chelating ligand, 1-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde)-4-aminosalicylhydrazone (HMB-ASH), which can chelate Fe(III) to form a complex. The HMB-ASH-Fe(III) complex exhibits a dose-dependent anti-proliferative effect in HepG2 cells, whereas the ligand, HMB-ASH, and Fe(III) alone had no considerable effect. The HMB-ASH-Fe(III) complex was composed of Fe(III):HMB-ASH (1:2), as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry. The IC50 value was approximately 20 μM, which was comparable to those of the anti-cancer drugs oxaliplatin (OXP) and etoposide (ETP) under the same conditions. Similar to OXP and ETP, HMB-ASH-Fe(III) induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells, as revealed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase fluorescein-12-dUTP nick end labeling assay.

- Development of a fluorescent chelating ligand for scandium ion having a Schiff base moiety
-
A fluorescent ligand, 1-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde)-4- aminosalicylhydrazone (HMB-ASH), was newly designed and synthesized, and its fluorescence characteristics for metal ions were investigated in the pH range 3.0-10.5 (at a difference of 0.5 for each metal). After testing 31 different metal ions, it was found that HMB-ASH was able to emit fluorescence intensely at 512 nm with an excitation wavelength of 353 nm in the presence of Sc 3+, one of the rare earth metals, at pH values around 3.5 and 8.0. The other metal ions hardly showed fluorescence with HMB-ASH. The fluorescence was more intense at pH 8.0, and the detection limit of Sc3+ in a buffer solution (pH 8.0) was approximately 18.8 nmol L-1 (0.85 ppb).
