Pyridazinone Derivatives

Pyridazinone derivatives are a great template for developing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. The 2-butyl-6-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one was prepared by reacting 6-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one with n-butyl bromide in the presence of potassium carbonate. The structure of the compound was confirmed based on its FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and Mass data. The molecular docking studies assessed the COX-2 binding capability of the synthesized compound. The in silico physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters of this compound concerning selected drugs were also calculated. The COX-2/COX-1 analysis revealed the synthesized compound as a novel potent COX-2 inhibitor, in comparison to indomethacin, with a promising physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profile.

Aim and Objective: Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes play an important role in the pathophysiology of several inflammatory and allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Inhibitors of the LOX are believed to be an ideal approach in the treatment of diseases caused by its over-expression. In this regard, several synthetic and natural agents are under investigation worldwide. Alkaloids are the most thoroughly investigated class of natural compounds with outstanding past in clinically useful drugs. In this article, we have discussed various alkaloids of plant origin that have already shown lipoxygenase inhibition in-vitro with possible correlation in in silico studies. Materials and Methods: Molecular docking studies were performed using MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) software. Among the ten reported LOX alkaloids inhibitors, derived from plant, compounds 4, 2, 3 and 1 showed excellent docking scores and receptor sensitivity. Result and Conclusion: These compounds already exhibited in vitro lipoxygenase inhibition and the MOE results strongly correlated with the experimental results. On the basis of these in vitro assays and computer aided results, we suggest that these compounds need further detail in vivo studies and clinical trial for the discovery of new more effective and safe lipoxygenase inhibitors. In conclusion, these results might be useful in the design of new and potential lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitors.

Background: Inflammation of the pulp can lead to elicit pain. Pain in inflammation is induced by the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme (COX-2) which induces prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) resulting in pain. Pain in the pulp can be relieved by eugenol. In its application, eugenol is toxic to pulp fibroblasts. Due to the side effect, it is worth considering other biocompatible materials with minimal side effects, such as propolis. Flavonoids and phenolic acids that contained in propolis can inhibit COX-2. Therefore, an analysis outlined in the literature review is needed to examine the results of research related to the role of propolis as pulp pain relief by inhibiting COX-2 expression. Purpose: To analyze the role of propolis in pulp pain by inhibiting COX-2 expression. Reviews: Propolis extract that extracted by ethanol, water, and hydroalcohol has pain relief properties in the pulp by inhibiting COX-2 by directly binding to the COX-2 receptors and by reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines which are COX-2 inducers, proven through in vivo, in vitro, and in silico studies in various target cell organs. Conclusion: Propolis extract has high prospect as inflammatory pain inhibitor in the pulp by inhibit COX-2 expression.

Background: Azoles are commonly used in the treatment and prevention of fungal infections. They suppress fungal growth by acting on the heme group of lanosterol 14α-demethylase enzyme (CYP51), thus blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol. </P><P> Objectives: Due to the importance of pyrazolines in the field of antifungal drug design, we aimed to design and synthesize new pyrazoline-based anticandidal agents. Methods: New pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized via the reaction of 1-(chloroacetyl)-3-(2- thienyl)-5-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-pyrazoline with aryl thiols. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal effects on Candida species. Docking studies were performed to predict the affinity of the most effective anticandidal agents to substrate binding site of CYP51. Furthermore, MTT assay was performed to determine the cytotoxic effects of the compounds on NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line. A computational study for the prediction of ADME properties of all compounds was also carried out. Results: Compounds 5, 8, 10 and 12 were found as the most potent anticandidal agents against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata in this series with the same MIC values of ketoconazole and they also exhibited low toxicity against NIH/3T3 cells. Docking results indicated that all these compounds showed good binding affinity into the active site of CYP51. In particular, chloro substituted compounds 8 and 12 bind to CYP51 through direct coordination with the heme group. According to in silico studies, compound 8 only violated one parameter of Lipinski’s rule of five, making it a potential orally bioavailable agent. Conclusion: Compound 8 was defined as a promising candidate for further in vitro and in vivo studies.

Background: 2,4-disubstituted-1,3-thiazole derivatives (2a–j), (3a–f) and (4a–f) were synthesized, characterized and screened for their potential as antimicrobial agents. In the preliminary screening against a panel of bacterial strains, nine compounds showed moderate to potent antibacterial activity (IC50 = 13.7-90.8 μg/ml). </P><P> Methods: In the antifungal screening, compound (4c) displayed potent antifungal activity (IC50 = 26.5 &#181;g/ml) against Candida tropicalis comparable to the standard drug, fluconazole (IC50 = 10.5 &#181;g/ml). Based on in vitro antimicrobial results, compounds 2f, 4c and 4e were selected for further pharmacological investigations. Hemolytic activity using human red blood cells (hRBCs) and cytotoxicity by MTT assay on human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells revealed non-toxic nature of the selected compounds (2f, 4c and 4e). To ascertain their possible mode of action, docking studies with the lead inhibitors (2f, 4c and 4e) were performed using crystal structure coordinates of bacterial methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs), an enzyme involved in bacterial protein synthesis and maturation. Results: The results of in vitro and in silico studies provide a rationale for selected compounds (2f, 4c and 4e) to be carried forward for further structural modifications and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies against these bacterial infections. Conclusion: The study suggested binding with one or more key amino acid residues in the active site of Streptococcus pneumoniae MetAP (SpMetAP) and Escherichia coli MetAP (EcMetAP). In silico physicochemical properties using QikProp confirmed their drug likeliness.
