Overexpression of histone deacetylases (HDACs) are observed in different types of cancers, but histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) have not shown significant efficacy as monotherapy against solid tumors. Recently, studies demonstrated that it is promi

A previous study for the identification of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors demonstrated that the hybrid between tyrosol, the 1,2,3-triazole nucleus, and the coumarin group, namely 7-({1-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (10), has a high enzyme inhibitory activity. Here, we synthesized analogues of 10 via triazole with pharmacophoric groups represented by tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and glycine in addition to evaluating the impact of coumarin-linked amino acids on AChE inhibition. We obtained eight triazoles, six of which are undescribed. In general, the presence of carboxylic acid decreased the inhibitory activity, while aromatic amino acids increased enzymatic inhibition compared to glycine. The derivative containing tyrosine, structurally most similar to 10, presented the lowest inhibition percentage, indicating that phenolic hydroxyl is not the preponderant factor for inhibition. Molecular docking was not enough to explain in vitro experiments. On the other hand, MlogP (logP calculated by the Moriguchi method) was related positively to enzymatic inhibition. To increase the hydrophobicity of the molecules, we tested the esterified triazole derivatives comparatively with the enzyme. The compound ethyl 2-(4-(((4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy)methyl)- 1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetate (6) presented an increment of inhibitory activity of 46.97 ± 1.75% at 100 μmol L-1. We also associated the best activity with the lowest van der Waals volume and molar mass values.
Solvent free three-component synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-1H-pyrrol-3-ol-type Compounds from L-tryptophan: DFT-B3LYP calculations for the reaction mechanism and 3H-pyrrol-3-one?1H-pyrrol-3-ol tautomeric equilibrium

In this paper, we describe the solvent-free three-component synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-1H-pyrrol-3-ol-type compounds from L-tryptophan. The first step of the synthetic methodology involved the esterification of L-tryptophan in excellent yields (93–98%). Equimolar mixtures of alkyl 2-aminoesters, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and potassium hydroxide (0.1 eq.) were heated under solvent-free conditions. The title compounds were obtained in moderate to good yields (45%–81%). Density functional theory using “Becke, 3-parameter, Lee–Yang–Parr” correlational functional (DFT-B3LYP) calculations were performed to understand the molecular stability of the synthesized compounds and the tautomeric equilibrium from 3H-pyrrol-3-one type intermediates to 1H-pyrrol-3-ol type aromatized rings.
