Urolithins (hydroxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones) are the main bioavailable metabolites of ellagic acid (EA), which was shown to be a cognitive enhancer in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As part of this research, a series of alkoxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Furthermore, their biological activities were evaluated as potential PDE2 inhibitors, and the alkoxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivative 1f was found to have the optimal inhibitory potential (IC50: 3.67 ± 0.47 μM). It also exhibited comparable activity in comparison to that of BAY 60-7550 in vitro cell level studies.

Series of novel substituted Synthesis of N-{[5-(substituted)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl] carbamothioyl} derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were synthesized by microwave as a green chemistry method and conventional method by using pyridine 3- carboxylic acid as a starting material. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by physicochemical data, IR, Mass spectra and 1HNMR. All the newly synthesized compound screened for their antimicrobial and In-vivo and In-vitro Anti-inflammatory studies. Anti-inflammatory studies revealed that compound 4f showed significant in-vivo and in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity as well potent antimicrobial activity.

AbstractA series of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing an amide moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activities against HL-60, SKOV-3 and MOLT-4 human tumor cell lines by MTT assay. Ethyl 2-((5-(4-methoxybenzamido)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)acetate (5f) showed the best inhibitory effect against SKOV-3 cells, with an IC50 value of 19.5 μm. In addition, the acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining assay in SKOV-3 cells suggested that the cytotoxic activity of 5f occurs via apoptosis.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease that affects 12 million people living mainly in developing countries. Herein, 24 new N-oxide-containing compounds were synthesized followed by in vitro and in vivo evaluation of their antileishmanial activity. Compound 4f, a furoxan derivative, was particularly remarkable in this regard, with EC50 value of 3.6 μM against L. infantum amastigote forms and CC50 value superior to 500 μM against murine peritoneal macrophages. In vitro studies suggested that 4f may act by a dual effect, by releasing nitric oxide after biotransformation and by inhibiting cysteine protease CPB (IC50: 4.5 μM). In vivo studies using an acute model of infection showed that compound 4f at 7.7 mg/Kg reduced ~90% of parasite burden in the liver and spleen of L. infantum-infected BALB/c mice. Altogether, these outcomes highlight furoxan 4f as a promising compound for further evaluation as an antileishmanial agent.

Background: Formally belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug class pyrazolones have long been used in medical practices. Objective: Our goal is to synthesize N-methylated 1-aryl-3-polyfluoroalkylpyrazolones as fluorinated analogs of antipyrine, their isomeric O-methylated derivatives resembling celecoxib structure and evaluate biological activities of obtained compounds. Methods: In vitro (permeability) and in vivo (anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities, acute toxicity, hyperalgesia, antipyretic activity, “open field” test) experiments. To suggest the mechanism of biological activity, molecular docking of the synthesized compounds was carried out into the tyrosine site of COX-1/2. Conclusion: The trifluoromethyl antipyrine represents a valuable starting point in design of the lead series for discovery new antipyretic analgesics with anti-inflammatory properties.

A series of (1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methyl benzoate derivatives (6a–10d) were designed and synthesized and evaluated as BRAFV600 inhibitors. Among them, compound 10a showed the most potent inhibitory activity against A375, WM266.4 and BRAFV600Ein vitro with IC50 values of 1.36 μM, 0.94 μM and 0.11 μM, respectively.

Abstract Oscillatoxins (OTXs) and aplysiatoxins (ATXs) are biosynthetically related polyketides produced by marine cyanobacteria. We previously developed a synthetic route to phenolic O-methyl analogs of OTX-D and 30-methyl-OTX-D during collective synthesis of these natural products. According to our synthetic strategy, we achieved total synthesis of OTX-D, 30-methyl-OTX-D, OTX-E, and OTX-F by deprotecting the O-methyl group in an earlier intermediate, and determined their biological activities. Although OTX-D and 30-methyl-OTX-D have been reported to show anti-leukemic activity against L1210 cell line, we found that their cytotoxicity in vitro against this cell line is relatively weak (IC50: 29–52 μM). In contrast, OTX-F demonstrated cell line-selective anti-proliferative activity against DMS-114 lung cancer cells, which implies that OTXs target as yet unknown target molecules as part of this unique activity.

Phenanthroindolizidines, such as antofine and tylophorine, are a family of natural alkaloids isolated from different species of Asclepiadaceas. They are characterized by interesting biological activities, such as pronounced cytotoxicity against different human cancerous cell lines, including multidrug-resistant examples. Nonetheless, these derivatives are associated with severe neurotoxicity and loss of in vivo activity due to the highly lipophilic nature of the alkaloids. Here, we describe the development of highly polar prodrugs of antofine and tylophorine as hypoxia-targeted prodrugs. The developed quaternary ammonium salts of phenanthroindolizidines showed high chemical and metabolic stability and are predicted to have no penetration through the blood–brain barrier. The designed prodrugs displayed decreased cytotoxicity when tested under normoxic conditions. However, their cytotoxic activity considerably increased when tested under hypoxic conditions.
