Glycosidases, including β-D-galactosidase and β-D-glucosidase, are involved in a range of metabolic disorders, such as cancer, viral or bacterial infections, and diabetes. Previously, we scanned the pharmacophoric space of these enzymes and had a self-consistent and predictive quantitative structure-activity relationship that was used to identify several β-D-galactosidase and β-D-glucosidase inhibitors via in silico search of structural databases. Guided by the preceding modeling efforts, synthesis of a series of tryptophan and thiosemicarbazide derivatives as β-D-galactosidase and β-D-glucosidase inhibitors that match the generated pharmacophores followed by in vitro bioassay was carried out. Synthesized compounds 3c (37 % inhibition at 100 μM) and 4d (49 % inhibition at 100 μM) exhibited the best inhibitory bioactivities against β-D-galactosidase and β-D-glucosidase, respectively. They can serve as a promising lead compounds for the development of potential glycosidase inhibitors.

Three series of novel heterocyclic azoles derivatives containing pyrazine (5a-5k, 8a-8k and 11a-11k) have been designed, synthesized, structurally determined, and their biological activities were evaluated as potential telomerase inhibitors. Among the oxadiazole derivatives, compound 5c showed the most potent biological activity against SW1116 cancer cell line (IC50 = 2.46 μM against SW1116 and IC50 = 3.55 μM for telomerase). Compound 8h performed the best in the thiadiazole derivatives (IC50 = 0.78 μM against HEPG2 and IC50 = 1.24 μM for telomerase), which was comparable to the positive control. While compound 11f showed the most potent biological activity (IC50 = 4.12 μM against SW1116 and IC50 = 15.03 μM for telomerase) among the triazole derivatives. Docking simulation by positioning compounds 5c, 8h and 11f into the telomerase structure active site was performed to explore the possible binding model. The results of apoptosis demonstrated that compound 8h possessed good antitumor activity against HEPG2 cancer cell line. Therefore, compound 8h with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth inhibition may be a potential antitumor agent against HEPG2 cancer cell. Therefore, the introduction of oxadiazole, thiadiazole and triazole structures reinforced the combination of our compounds and the receptor, resulting in progress of bioactivity.
