A computer-assisted approach was used to model and study privileged heterocyclic scaffolds containing dihydropyrazole, pyrimidin-2-amine, and thiazolidin-4-one moieties (hybrid pharmacophores) to obtain novel and promising antimicrobial prototype molecules. Main bioavailability descriptors were determined in order to assess the drug-likeness of the designed compounds and to pre-filter eleven compounds exhibiting the best profiles, thus passing to molecular docking study against a key penicillin-binding protein type-3 from enterotoxygenic E. coli. Seven structures were chosen by theirenergies of affinity and docking interactions with key residues in the active site of the receptor. Seven compounds with the highest docking scores belonging to the series of chalcones, dihydropyrazoles, aminopyrimidines, and thiazolidin-4-ones were prepared via condensation or cyclocondensation reactions. The structural elucidation of the final products was carried out by infrared spectra analysis and NMR experiments. Such molecular hybrids considered as potential hits in the search for new antibacterial compounds will be tested in vitro in further studies.

AbstractIn an attempt to find novel, potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, a library of poly-substituted 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines 3a–ag have been synthesized through heating a mixture of 2-aminobenzimidazoles 1 and α-azidochalcone 2 under the mild conditions. This efficient, facile protocol has been resulted into the desirable compounds with a wide substrate scope in good to excellent yields. Afterwards, their inhibitory activities against yeast α-glucosidase enzyme were investigated. Showing IC50 values ranging from 16.4 ± 0.36 µM to 297.0 ± 1.2 µM confirmed their excellent potency to inhibit α-glucosidase which encouraged us to perform further studies on α-glucosidase enzymes obtained from rat as a mammal source. Among various synthesized 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, compound 3k exhibited the highest potency against both Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase (IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.36 μM) and rat small intestine α-glucosidase (IC50 = 45.0 ± 8.2 μM). Moreover, the role of amine moiety on the observed activity was studied through substituting with chlorine and hydrogen resulted into a considerable deterioration on the inhibitory activity. Kinetic study and molecular docking study have confirmed the in-vitro results.

This efficient, facile protocol has been resulted into the desirable compounds with a wide substrate scope in good to excellent yields. Afterwards, their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were investigated. Showing IC50 values ranging from 16.4 ± 0.36 µM to 297.0 ± 1.2 µM confirmed their excellent potency to inhibit α-glucosidase which may provide new drug candidates in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. Among various synthesized 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, compound 3k exhibited the highest potency against α-glucosidase (IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.36 μM) which was 45.7 times more potent than acarbose as standard inhibitor (IC50 = 750.0 ± 1.5 μM). Moreover, the role of amine moiety on the observed activity was studied through substituting with chlorine and hydrogen resulted into a considerable deterioration on the inhibitory activity. Kinetic study and molecular docking study have confirmed the in-vitro results.

Objective: The reaction of bis(4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol) with hydrazonoyl halides and α-halo-ketones gave a new series of bis-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]thiadiazine derivatives. Methods: The structure of the new products was established on the basis of their elemental and spectral data (mass, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR) and an alternate method. Results: Several of the synthesized products were subjected to in vitro anticancer screening against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) and the results showed that compounds 16, 14 and 12 have promising activities (IC50 value of 24.8±9.1, 28.3±0.5, and 31±2.9μM, respectively) compared with Harmine reference drug (IC50 value of 22.4±1.11 μM). Conclusion: Moreover, molecular docking studies were performed to analyze the binding modes of the discovered hits into the active site of DYRK1A using iGEMDOCK.

Background: Tuberculosis, is a chronic infectious disease, affects one third of the global population. Emergence of Multi-resistant (MDR) strains and high susceptibility of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected persons to the disease forced to develop novel anti-tuberculosis agents and preferably have a novel mechanism of action as to avoid crossresistant with other agents. Literature survey evidences that, Pyridine, Thiadiazole , Benzimidazole; and Acetyl thiophene derivatives exhibit various pharmacological activities, including anti-mycobacterial activity. Methods: Thus, a series of Pyridine, Thiadiazole, Benzimidazole; and Acetyl thiophene based molecules were designed and docked against crucial mtb enzyme target InhA (Enoyl Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase) Enzyme. The docked molecules were screened against good docking-score and multiple interactions and opted for synthesis. Synthesized molecules were re crystallized to obtain the purity. All the purified compounds were characterized by various spectral analyses and evaluated for anti- mycobacterial activity against tuberculosis H37RV strain by Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) method. Results: The experimental results shown that schiff base of Pyridine (Compounds ‘d’ ) and Benzimidazole derivatives (Compounds ‘i’ ) possesses good anti-tubercular activity with a MIC below 1.6 μg /mL. Further compound ‘e’ of benzimdazole derivative showed good anti tubercular activity with an MIC below 6.25 μg /mL. Whereas 2 - acetyl thiopene compounds exhibited moderate anti tubercular activity at below 50μg/mL. Conclusion: The comparative in vitro and molecular docking study analysis reveals that, compared to chalcones of Acetyl thiophne derivatives, Pyridine, thiadazole and Benzimidazole based schiff bases exhibited best anti tubercular activity.

New hetero annulated indoles were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectral means. In order to understand the nature of interactions of these molecules, we carried out molecular docking studies using the protein kinase CK2 inhibitors. The docking results provided some useful information for the futuredesign of more potent inhibitors. The in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated for all the new compounds by MTT assay against HeLa and compared with the standard drug ellipticine. All the compounds showed moderate to potent activity against the cell lines. The preliminary structure–activity relationships were carried out.

Elemental Analyses

A series of estrone derivatives 3–8 was designed and synthesized using estrone arylmethylenes 2a,b as starting materials and their structures were confirmed by different spectral data and elemental analyses. All the newly synthesized compounds exhibited potent in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic activities against breast cancer cell lines. In addition, all compounds were subjected to in vitro and in vivo inhibition assays for EGFR and VEGFR-2 kinases as well as p53 ubiquitination activity to obtain more details about their mechanism of action. Based on the promising results, a molecular docking study was investigated for the most representative compound 5a against the two targets, EGFR and VEGFR-2 kinases, to assess its binding affinity, hoping to rationalize and obtain potent anticancer agents in the future.
