A new series of 1-(4-Acetylphenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-3-(substitutedphenyl)-1,2,3,4,7,8-octahydroquinazolin-5(6H)-ones (6-15) were synthesized and tested against COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Those compounds exhibited strong interaction at the COX-2 binding site and poor interaction at the COX-1 active site. Subjected to in vitro cyclooxygenase COX-1/COX-2 inhibition assay; most of the compounds especially compounds 6, 7, 12, 13, and 16 exhibited potent anti-inflammatory effects, selective COX-2 inhibition, with half-maximal inhibitor concentration (IC50) values of 0.22–1.42 μM and selectivity index (SI) values of 6.16–14.18 compared with celecoxib (IC50 = 0.05 μM and COX-2 SI: 296), diclofenac (IC50 = 0.8 μM and COX-2 SI: 4.87), and indomethacin (IC50 = 0.49 μM and COX-2 SI: 0.08) as reference drugs. Docking study has been carried out to confirm the binding affinity and selectivity of the most active compound (compound 6) to COX-2 enzyme.

The present work deals with the synthesis of a series of 6-substituted-4-hydroxy-1-(2-substitued alicyclicaminoacetyl)-3-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one {IVa-d (1-3)} derivatives and evaluation of their in vitro anticancer activity. Docking study was carried out using EGFR-tyrosine kinase binding site (PDB ID: 1m17) and revealed encouraging results. The sequence of reactions consists of the initial synthesis of 6-substituted 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones (Ia-d), which were further subjected to nitration reaction to give 6- substituted-4-hydroxy-3-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one (IIa-d). Condensation of compounds (IIa-d) with chloroacetyl chloride resulted in 6-substituted-1-(2-chloroacetyl)-4-hydroxy-3-nitroquinolin-2(1H)-one(IIIa-d), which was subjected to substitution reaction using various secondary amines to yield the title compounds {IVa-d (1-3)}. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectral data.All the derivatives were tested for their in vitro anticancer activity using KB (oral cancer) cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, compound (IVc-2) was found to be the most cytotoxic as compared to the other synthesized derivatives, with IC50 values of 0.2406μM/mL against KB cell line.

New hexahydropyrimido[1,2- a]azepine derivatives bearing functionalized aryl and heterocyclic moieties were synthesized as anti-inflammatory agents with better safety profiles. All synthesized compounds were assessed in vitro for their COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition activities. The most selective compounds, 2f, 5 and 6, were further evaluated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and PGE2 inhibitory activity. To rationalize their selectivity, molecular docking within COX-1 and COX-2 binding sites was performed. Their physicochemical properties and drug-like nature profile were also calculated. The good activity and selectivity of compounds 2f, 5 and 6 were rationalized using a molecular docking study and supported by in vivo studies. These promising findings are encouraging for performing future investigations of these derivatives.

Three dihydrostilbenes belonging to the polyphenol pool characterized in the leaves of Sicilian liquorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) have been tested for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The three dihydrostilbenes (PA-82, GA-23, DO-07) were in vitro tested to evaluate their capability to scavenge the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and to decrease thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release in human whole blood samples. On the basis of the observed capability of these compounds to affect the cell COX-1/COX-2 pathway, a molecular docking study was carried out in order to understand in detail the ability of these compounds to bind to COX-1 and COX-2. The results show that the liquorice dihydrostilbenes are preferred ligands for COX-2 rather than for COX-1, providing a good rational for the observed selectivity in ex vivo experiments. Therefore, they appear to be good candidates for employment in human therapy against inflammation-related pathological conditions.

Aim: Currently, researchers have developed a lot of new active substances as anti-inflammatory agents. One of the target proteins for anti-inflammatory agents is the selective COX-2 active site. Selective COX-2 inhibition is the regulator of the inflammatory reaction cascade. In this research, 3, 4- Dihydropyrimidone derivatives were used to design the anti-inflammatory agent through a selective COX-2 inhibition. The potential activity of 3, 4- Dihydropyrimidone derivatives maybe increase due to the preparation of the Schiff base with aromatic aldehydes. Selective COX-2 inhibition was required to predict their anti-inflammatory activity so, the aim in the present study, molecular docking study of 3,4- dihydropyrimidone derivatives have performed using COX-2 enzyme active site. Methodology: The molecular docking of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidone derivatives were carried out using AutoDock vina Ver.1.1.2. Twenty 3,4-dihydropyrimidone derivatives were docked into the COX-2 active site with Protein data bank code 3LN1. The interactions were evaluated based on the docking score. Celecoxib was used as the reference standard for this study. Results: Twenty 3, 4- dihydropyrimidone derivatives showed the approximate docking score -8.4 to -10.1 kcal/mol. Fourteen 3,4-dihydropyrimidone derivatives have a greater docking score compared to celecoxib used as a standard compound. Derivative D-1 had higher binding energy than other 3,4-dihydropyrimidone derivatives because it has the smallest docking score. Conclusion: All new 3,4-dihydropyrimidone derivatives are feasible to synthesize and performed their in-vitro evaluation.

In this work, a series of benzylsulfone coumarin derivatives 5a–5o were synthesized and characterized. Kinase inhibitory activity assay indicated that most of the compounds showed considerable activity against PI3K. Anti-tumor activity studies of the active compounds were also carried out in vitro on the Hela, HepG2, H1299, HCT-116, and MCF-7 tumor cell lines by MTS assay. The structure–activity relationships (SARs) of these compounds were analyzed in detail. Compound 5h exhibited the most potent activities against the mentioned cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 18.12 to 32.60 μM, followed by 5m with IC50 values of 29.30–42.14 μM. Furthermore, 5h and 5m clearly retarded the migration of Hela cells in vitro. Next, an in silico molecular docking study was conducted to evaluate the binding models of 5h and 5m towards PI3Kα and PI3Kβ. Collectively, the above findings suggested that compounds 5h and 5m might be promising PI3K inhibitors deserving further investigation for cancer treatment.

Inhibition of cyclooxygenase is the way of therapeutic activities for anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals. Serum albumins are the major soluble protein able to bind and transport a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands, including hydrophobic pharmaceuticals. In this study, a novel N-substituted 1H-pyrrolo[3–c]pyridine-1,3(2H)-diones derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenases and interactions with BSA. In vitro, COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition assays were performed. Interaction with BSA was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism measurement. The molecular docking study was conducted to understand the binding interaction of compounds in the active site of cyclooxygenases and BSA. The result of the COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory studies revealed that all the compounds potentially inhibited COX-1 and COX-2. The IC50 value was found similar to meloxicam. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by tested compounds due to the formation of A/E–BSA complex. The results of the experiment and molecular docking confirmed the main interaction forces between studied compounds and BSA were hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force.

Isoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives constitute an important group of medicinal substances. In this study, nine new 1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione derivatives and five potential pharmacophores were obtained in good yield (47.24–92.91%). The structure of the new imides was confirmed by the methods of elemental and spectral analysis: FT–IR, H NMR, and MS. Based on the obtained results of ESI–MS the probable path of the molecules decay and the hypothetical structure of the resulting pseudo-molecular ions have been proposed. The physicochemical properties of the new phthalimides were determined on the basis of Lipiński’s rule. The biological properties were determined in terms of their cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory activity. Three compounds showed greater inhibition of COX-2, three compounds inhibited COX-1 more strongly than the reference compound meloxicam. From the obtained results, the affinity ratio COX-2/COX-1 was calculated. Two compounds had a value greater than that of meloxicam. All tested compounds showed oxidative or nitrosan stress (ROS and RNS) scavenging activity. The degree of chromatin relaxation outside the cell nucleus was lower than the control after incubation with all test compounds. The newly synthesized phthalimide derivatives showed no cytotoxic activity in the concentration range studied (10–90 µM). A molecular docking study was used to determined interactions inside the active site of cyclooxygenases.

Bioassay guided study of Cleome viscosa Linn. (Cleomaceae) leaves led to the isolation of a new cembrenoid diterpene (1) and three known compounds (2-4) from the hexane extract. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods such as NMR (1D and 2D), HRMS and IR and identified and afforded compound 1, malabaric acid (2), stigmast-4-en-3-one (3) and stigmast-4-ene-3,6-dione (4). This is the first report of compounds 1 and 2 from C. viscosa Linn. Isolates were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using in vitro cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX-1 and -2) inhibitory assays. The novel cembrenoid diterpene (1) exhibited IC50 values of 8.4 μM for COX-1 enzyme and 45.2 μM for COX-2 enzyme, respectively. Similarly, malabaric acid (2) exhibited IC50 values of 11.5 μM for COX-1 enzyme and 46.9 μM for COX-2 enzyme, respectively. Their inhibitory activities were in par with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Sterols 3 and 4 gave IC50 values of 62.6 and 67.9 μM, respectively for COX-1 enzyme while indicating weak COX-2 enzyme inhibition. Lipid peroxidation inhibitory (LPO) and MTT assays were used to determine antioxidant activity of these compounds. Compounds 1-4 showed LPO inhibition with IC50 values between 82 and 100 µM and moderate antioxidant activity in the MTT assay. Biological activities reported for these compounds are for the first time and it support anecdotal medicinal claims of C. viscosa Linn. leaves.

A series of oxime Cyclohexyl (E)-4-(hydroxyimino)-4-phenylbutanoates and their ethers were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activities with HepG 2.2.15 cell line in vitro. Most of these compounds possessed anti-HBV activities, and among them, compound 4B-2 showed significant inhibiting effects on the secretion of HBsAg (IC50 = 63.85 ± 6.26 μM, SI = 13.41) and HBeAg (IC50 = 49.39 ± 4.17 μM, SI = 17.34) comparing to lamivudine (3TC) in HBsAg (IC50 = 234.2 ± 17.17 μM, SI = 2.2) and HBeAg (IC50 = 249.9 ± 21.51 μM, SI = 2.07). Docking study of these compounds binding to a protein residue (PDB ID: 3OX8) from HLA-A2 that with the immunodominant HBcAg18–27 epitope (HLA-A2.1- restricted CTL epitope) active site was carried out by using molecular operation environment (MOE) software. Docking results showed that behaviors of these compounds binding to the active site in HLA-A protein residue partly coincided with their behaviors in vitro anti-HBV active screening.
