Among heterocycles, a wide variety of nitrogen heterocycles have been exploited to develop pharmaceutically important molecules. Particularly, acridines are clinically used potential drug candidates showing various pharmacological activities. Some of the novel m-PEG attached acridinediones 4(a-j) were synthesized with the readily available starting materials such as dimedone, glycine and aldehydes. Structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral techniques. The synthesized compounds (4a-j) were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. Compounds 4d, 4e and 4g were found to produce potent antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms while 4c active against only Gram-positive organisms when compared with the standard, ciprofloxacin. On the other side, 4d and 4i produced potent antioxidant activity and 4a, 4d and 4g exhibited comparable anticancer properties.

An efficient one pot condensation of naphthols (1), 2,5-disubstituted indole-3-carboxaldehydes (2), and secondary amines (3) has been achieved using dichloromethane as a solvent, stirring at room temperature. Some of the new [(disubstituted amino)(5-substituted 2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]naphthalene-ols (4) derivatives were prepared in good yields. The significant features of this method are simple work-up procedure, inexpensive nontoxic solvent, shorter reaction times, and excellent product yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds (4a–r) are confirmed by their elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR, and mass spectral data. These compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitubercular, and anticancer activities. Among the synthesized compounds (4a–r), the compound 4e exhibited highest activity for radical scavenging and ferric ions reducing antioxidant power activities; compounds 4b, 4h, and 4k showed good metal chelating activity. Compounds 4n and 4q showed excellent antimicrobial activities with MIC value 08 µg/mL against tested strains. Compounds 4h, 4k, 4n, and 4q exhibited promising antitubercular activity with MIC value 12.5 µg/mL. Compounds 4k and 4q exhibited 100% cell lysis at concentration 10 µg/mL against MDA-MB-231 (human adenocarcinoma mammary gland) cell lines.

A bidentate (N- and O-) imine-based ligand (L1) and its metal complexes of types [CuII(L1)2] (C1), [CuII(L1)(Phen)] (C2), [CoIII(L1)2] (C3), and [CoIII(L1)(Phen)] (C4) (L1 = 2-((E)-(6-fluorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino)methyl)-4-chlorophenol and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized as potential chemotherapeutic drug candidates. The prepared complexes were structurally characterized by spectral techniques (NMR, FT-IR, LC-MS, EPR, and electronic absorption), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA), magnetic moment, and CHNO elemental analysis. Spectroscopic studies suggested the distorted octahedral structure for all complexes. In vitro bioassay studies include binding and nuclease activities of the ligand and its complexes with target calf thymus- (CT-) DNA were carried out by employing UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity, and gel electrophoresis techniques. The extent of binding propensity was determined quantitatively by Kb and Ksv values which revealed a higher binding affinity for C2 and C4 as compared to C1 and C3. In addition, the scavenging superoxide anion free radical (O∙-2) activity of metal complexes was determined by nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) light reduction assay. Molecular docking studies with DNA and SOD enzyme were also carried out on these compounds. The antimicrobial study has shown that all the compounds are potential antibacterial agents against Gram-negative bacterial strains and better antifungal agents with respect to standard drugs used.

Abstract In this study, due to the potential anticancer effects of the benzimidazole ring system, a series of benzimidazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectra analyses. In the in vitro anticancer assay, all the compounds tested anticancer activities using MTT-based assay against five cancer cell lines (MCF-7, A549, HeLa, C6, and HepG2). Among them, compound 5a exhibited the most potent activity with IC50 values of 5,165±0,211 μM and 5,995±0,264 μM against MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines. Compound 5a was included in the BrdU test to determine the DNA synthesis inhibition effects for both cell types. Furthermore, compound 5c was also found to be more effective than doxorubicin on the HeLa cell line. The selectivity of anticancer activity was evaluated in NIH3T3 (mouse embryo fibroblast cell line) cell line. In vitro, enzymatic inhibition assays of aromatase enzyme were performed for compound 5a acting on the MCF-7 cell line. For compound 5a, in silico molecular docking against aromatase enzyme was performed to determine possible protein-ligand interactions and binding modes.

Background: The synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives are of great interest since these compounds exhibit strong antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and anticancer activities. The electronic properties of naphthoquinones are usually modulated by attaching functional groups containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms, which tune their biological potency and selectivity. Methods: A series of 13 amino acid 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized under assisted microwave and ultrasound conditions. The antibacterial activity compounds was tested against American type Culture Collection (ATCC): Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, as well two multidrug resistant pathogens: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from clinical isolated. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the broth microdilution method. Results: MIC of derivatives 4–11, 14 and 16 showed antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Antimicrobial activities of the compounds 4–8 and 14 were ≤MIC 24.7 μg∙mL-1 against all the reference strain, even more the compound 6 showed the most potent activity with a MIC of 3.9 μg∙mL-1 on S. aureus. On the clinical isolated the compounds 7, 8 and 14 showed a MIC of 49.7 and 24.7 μg∙mL-1 against S. aureus y E. coli respectively. About ADME properties and Osiris analysis, the compounds 4-16 presented high gastrointestinal absorption and good characteristics for oral bioavailability and the compound 14 was the less toxic. Conclusion: amino acid 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives showed good in vitro antibacterial activity against clinical strains, and modifications on C-3 with cloride atom enhanced the efficiency against same pathogens.

Aim:   Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are one of the validated targets for cancer treatments. In our previous work, we designed a series of bis-substituted aromatic amide HDAC inhibitors (HDACis), among which compounds 7 and 8 showed promising anticancer effects. However, the low solubilities prevented their subsequent developments. We developed additional thiophene-based hydroxamate HDACis in order to improve their physicochemical properties. Materials & methods: In vitro biological evaluations of these analogs revealed potent antiproliferative and antimigrated activities. More importantly, compound 10h exhibited excellent in vivo antitumor activities in MDA-MB-231 xenograft model mice. Furthermore, 10h showed better anticancer activities and drug-like properties than 7. Results & conclusion: Our results proved that thiophene-based hydroxamate HDACis can serve as a promising framework for developing potential anticancer agents.

Background: 2-Aminochromene derivatives display important pharmacological properties, including mainly antibiotic and anticancer activities. Objective: The study aims to synthesize new chromene derivatives via a new approach using Grignard reagents, for the evaluation of their antibiotic and antifungal properties. Method: A series of novel 3-cyano-4-aminochromene derivatives bearing alkyl substituents at the 4-position was prepared for biological evaluation. Results: These compounds were obtained by the addition of various Grignard reagents into Nethoxycarbonyl- 3-cyanoiminocoumarines in moderate to good yields (72-96%). The reaction is completely regioselective. The new chromene derivatives were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against a panel of six bacterial and three fungal strains using agar dilution method. Conclusion: The antibacterial activity of the chromene derivatives was more pronounced on Gram-positive bacteria than on Gram-negative bacteria with a significant activity observed against Staphylococcus aureus. An interesting antifungal activity against Fusarium sp. and Fusarium oxysporum was also noticed.

We synthesized a novel anticancer agents based on mixed chelate copper (II) complexes, named Casiopeínas® has of general formula [Cu(N-N)(N-O)H2O]NO3 (where, N-N = diimines as 1,10- phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridine, or substituted and N-O=aminoeidate or [Cu(N-N)(O-O)H2O]NO3 (where NN= diimines as 10-phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridine or substituted Casiopeínas I, II, IV, V, VI, VII VIII and O-O=acetylacetonate, salicylaldehidate Casiopínas III). We evaluated the in vitro antitumor activity using a human cancer cell panel and some nurine cancer cells. Eleven Casiopeinas are evaluated in order to acquire some structure-activity correlations and some monodentated Casiopeinäs analogues; cisplatinum was used as control drug. The 50% growth inhibition observed is, in all cases reach with concentrations of Casiopeina's 10 or 100 times lower than cisplatinum. In a previous work we reported the induction of apoptosis by Casiopeina II. The results indicate that Casiopeinass are a promising new anticancer drug candidates to be developed further toward clinical trials.

HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) have been developed as promising anticancer agents in recent years. In this study, we synthesized and characterized a novel HDACi, termed NBM-HD-1. This agent was derived from the semisynthesis of propolin G, isolated from Taiwanese green propolis (TGP), and was shown to be a potent suppressor of tumor cell growth in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and rat glioma cells (C6), with an IC50ranging from 8.5 to 10.3 μM. Western blot demonstrated that levels of p21(Waf1/Cip1), gelsolin, Ac-histone 4, and Ac-tubulin markedly increased after treatment of cancer cells with NBM-HD-1. After NBM-HD-1 treatment for 1–4 h, p-PTEN and p-AKT levels were markedly decreased. Furthermore, we also found the anticancer activities of NBM-HD-1 in regulating cell cycle regulators. Treatment with NBM-HD-1,p21(Waf1/Cip1)gene expression had markedly increased whilecyclin B1andD1gene expressions had markedly decreased. On the other hand, we found that NBM-HD-1 increased the expressions of tumor-suppressor genep53in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, we showed that NBM-HD-1 exhibited potent antitumor activity in a xenograft model. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that this compound, NBM-HD-1, is a novel and potent HDACi with anticancer activityin vitroandin vivo.
