Two new stilbene derivatives, named strebluses C and D, were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the stems of Streblus ilicifolius (Moraceae). Its absolute configuration was elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic data interpretation and optical rotation calculation. Streblus C possesses strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.01 μM. Docking studies of 1 and 2 with oxy-tyrosinase were carried out to analyze their interactions. The analysis of the docked poses confirmed that 1 showed better binding affinity for oxy-tyrosinase than that of 2.

From a CHCl3-soluble extract of the stems of Semecarpus caudata (Anacardiaceae), two new diarylalkanoids, semedienone (1) and semetrienone (2), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic data interpretation. These compounds possess strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 0.033 and 0.11 μM, respectively. Docking studies of 1 and 2 with oxy-tyrosinase were carried out to analyze their interactions. Accordingly, semedienone (1) showed good interactions with the peroxide group and amino acid residues. The biosynthesis of the isolated diarylalkanoids was proposed.

Methanol extract from Lippia graveolens (Mexican oregano) was studied in order to identify inhibitory bioactives for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Known flavone as lutein (1), and another flavone glycoside such as lutein-7-o-glucoside (2), 6-hydroxy-lutein-7-ohexoside (3) and lutein-7-o-ramnoide (4) were isolated from methanol extract of aerial parts of the Lippia graveolens. All isolates were identified based on extensive spectroscopic data analysis, including UV, IR, NMR, MS and compared with spectroscopic data previously reported. These flavones were evaluated for PTP1B inhibitory activity. Among them, compounds 1 and 3 displayed potential inhibitory activity against PTP1B with IC50 values of 7.01 ± 1.25 μg/ml and 18.4 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, compound 2 and 4 showed moderate inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 23.8 ± 6.21 and 67.8 ± 5.80 μg/ml respectively. Among the four compounds, luteolin was found to be the most potent PTP1B inhibitor compared to the positive control ursolic acid, with an IC50 value of 8.12 ± 1.06 μg/ml. These results indicate that flavonoids constituents contained in Lippia graveolens can be considered as a natural source for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

A series of 3,5-substituted-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide derivatives were synthesized. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation and their tyrosinase inhibitory activity was determined. The results showed that compound 2 (at 1.00 mg/mL) exhibits significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity with % inhibition of 91.866 ± 2.086 with L-tyrosine as substrate whereas compound 3 (at 1.00 mg/mL) exhibits significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity with % inhibition of 79.266 ± 0.552 and 89.593 ± 1.015 with L-tyrosine and L-DOPA as substrates. The IC50values of compounds 2 and 3 were further determined comparing with kojic acid and resveratrol. It was found that IC50values of compounds 2 and 3 were 0.391 ± 0.017 and 0.259 ± 0.005 mg/mL., with L-tyrosine as substrate, which were lower than those of the standard tyrosinase inhibitory resveratrol (0.965 ± 0.016 mg/mL).

Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) are the target enzymes of β-lactam antibiotic resistance, and there are no effective inhibitors against MβLs available for clinic so far. In this study, thirteen halogen-substituted triazolethioacetamides were designed and synthesized as a potent skeleton of MβLs inhibitors. All the compounds displayed inhibitory activity against ImiS with an IC50 value range of 0.032–15.64 μM except 7. The chlorine substituted compounds (1, 2 and 3) inhibited NDM-1 with an IC50 value of less than 0.96 μM, and the fluorine substituted 12 and 13 inhibited VIM-2 with IC50 values of 38.9 and 2.8 μM, respectively. However, none of the triazolethioacetamides exhibited activity against L1 at inhibitor concentrations of up to 1 mM. Enzyme inhibition kinetics revealed that 9 and 13 are mixed inhibitors for ImiS with Ki values of 0.074 and 0.27μM using imipenem as the substrate. Docking studies showed that 1 and 9, which have the highest inhibitory activity against ImiS, fit the binding site of CphA as a replacement of ImiS via stable interactions between the triazole group bridging ASP120 and hydroxyl group bridging ASN233.

AbstractIn this study, a new series of sulfonamides derivatives was synthesized and their inhibitory effects on DPPH and jack bean urease were evaluated. The in silico studies were also applied to ascertain the interactions of these molecules with active site of the enzyme. Synthesis was initiated by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-ethanamine (1) with 4-(acetylamino)benzenesulfonyl chloride (2) in aqueous sodium carbonate at pH 9. Precipitates collected were washed and dried to obtain the parent molecule, N-(4-{[(4-methoxyphenethyl)amino]sulfonyl}phenyl)acetamide (3). Then, this parent was reacted with different alkyl/aralkyl halides, (4a-m), using dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent and LiH as an activator to produce a series of new N-(4-{[(4-methoxyphenethyl)-(substituted)amino]sulfonyl}phenyl)acetamides (5a-m). All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and CHN analysis data. All of the synthesized compounds showed higher urease inhibitory activity than the standard thiourea. The compound 5 f exhibited very excellent enzyme inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 0.0171±0.0070 µM relative to standard thiourea having IC50 value of 4.7455±0.0546 µM. Molecular docking studies suggested that ligands have good binding energy values and bind within the active region of taget protein. Chemo-informatics properties were evaluated by computational approaches and it was found that synthesized compounds mostly obeyed the Lipinski’ rule.

In this study, a total of twenty chalcones were synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction and evaluated for their in vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities using Ellman’s method. Molecular docking studies on acetylcholinesterase were performed to elucidate the interactions between these chalcone derivatives and acetylcholinesterase active site at the molecular level. From the series, six compounds (S1-5 and S17) exhibited strong acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities with IC50 values below 100 µM compared to the parent unsubstituted chalcone. Compound S17 (4’-amino-2-chlorochalcone) showed the strongest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity in the investigated group with IC50 value of 36.10 µM. Molecular modeling studies were consistent with the results of in vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities, and chalcone S17 could be considered as a potential lead compound for the development of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Eight new compounds, including two sambutoxin derivatives (1–2), two highly oxygenated cyclopentenones (7–8), four highly oxygenated cyclohexenones (9–12), together with four known sambutoxin derivatives (3–6), were isolated from semimangrove endophytic fungus Talaromyces sp. CY-3, under the guidance of molecular networking. The structures of new isolates were elucidated by analysis of detailed spectroscopic data, ECD spectra, chemical hydrolysis, 13C NMR calculation, and DP4+ analysis. In bioassays, compounds 1–5 displayed better α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the positive control 1-deoxynojirimycin (IC50 = 80.8 ± 0.3 μM), and the IC50 value was in the range of 12.6 ± 0.9 to 57.3 ± 1.3 μM.
