- Synthesis, carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity of some 1,3-oxazine derivatives
-
(Table presented.). A series of 1-(6-methyl-2-substituted phenyl-4-thioxo-4H-1,3-oxazin-5-yl)ethanones (3a-n) were synthesized by the reaction of benzoyl isothiocyanates with active methylene compound acetylacetone in the presence of triethyl amine in a one-pot process. The structures of the products were elucidated by elemental analyses, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy. These new 1,3-oxazine derivatives were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against carbonic anhydrase II. Results for in vitro assay revealed that compound 3b having 4-methoxy phenyl moiety was the most potent inhibitor with IC50 value of 0.144 ± 0.008 μM. It exhibited higher enzyme inhibitory activity as compared to the standard acetazolamide (IC50 = 0.997 ± 0.061 μM). The compounds 3c, 3h, and 3n also displayed superior inhibitory activities compared to the rest of the synthesized oxazine derivatives. The radical scavenging activity of oxazine derivatives was also performed and it was found that compounds showed moderate antioxidant activity. Lipinski rule confirmed the therapeutic potential of the synthesized compounds. Molecular docking studies were also performed to further understand the binding affinity of these compounds with PDBID 1V9E which confirmed that the synthesized derivatives bind in the active binding site of the target protein. Based upon our results, it is proposed that compound 3b may serve as a lead structure to design more potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

- 3-D QSAR analysis of inhibition of murine soluble epoxide hydrolase (MsEH) by benzoylureas, arylureas, and their analogues
-
Two hundred and seventy-one compounds including benzoylureas, arylureas and related compounds were assayed using recombinant murine soluble epoxide hydrolase (MsEH) produced from a baculovirus expression system. Among all the insect growth regulators assayed, 18 benzoylphenylurea congeners showed weak activity against MsEH. Newly synthesized cyclohexylphenylurea, 1-benzyl-3-phenylurea, and 1,3-dibenzylurea analogues were rather potent. The introduction of a methyl group at the para-position of the phenyl ring of cyclohexylphenylurea enhanced the activity 6-fold, though similar substituent effects were not seen for any of the benzoylphenylureas. The activities of these compounds, including several previously reported compounds, such as dicyclohexylurea, diphenylurea, and their related analogues (Morisseau et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 1999, 96, 8849), were quantitatively analyzed using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3-D QSAR) method. Both steric and electrostatic factors contributing to variations in the activity were visualized using CoMFA. CoMFA results showed that one side of the cyclohexylurea moiety having a trans-amide conformation (A-ring moiety) is surrounded by large sterically unfavorable fields, while the other side of A-ring moiety and the other cyclohexyl group (B-ring moiety) is encompassed by sterically favored fields. Electrostatically negative fields were scattered around the entire molecule, and a positive field surrounds the carbon of the carbonyl group. Hydrophobic fields were visualized using Kellogg's hydropathic interaction (HINT) in conjunction with CoMFA. Hydrophobically favorable fields appeared beside the 4- and 4'-carbon atoms of the cyclohexyl groups, and hydrophobically unfavorable fields surrounded the urea bridge. The addition of the molecular hydrophobicity, it> /it>, to CoMFA did not improve the correlation significantly. The ligand-binding interactions shown by X-ray crystallographic data were rationalized using the results of the CoMFA and HINT analyses, and the essential physicochemical parameters for the design of new MsEH inhibitors were disclosed.
