A new series of amino acid derivatives of quinolines was synthesized through the hydrolysis of amino acid methyl esters of quinoline carboxamides with alkali hydroxide. The compounds were purified on silica gel by column chromatography and further characterized by TLC, NMR and ESI-TOF mass spectrometry. All compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains using the microdilution method. Most of the synthesized amino acid-quinolines show more potent or equipotent inhibitory action against the tested bacteria than their correspond esters. In addition, many of them exhibit fluorescent properties and could possibly be utilized as fluorophores. Molecular docking and simulation studies of the compounds at putative bacterial target enzymes suggest that the antimicrobial potency of these synthesized analogues could be due to enzyme inhibition via their favorable binding at the fluoroquinolone binding site at the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase and/or the ParC subunit of topoisomerase-IV.

Background. The addition of active metabolites (in particular, amino acids) to the molecule affects the physicochemical and prodrug properties of derivatives of indolocarbazoles. Using computed chemoinformatics, probability antitumor activity of amino-acid derivatives of glycosides of indolocarbazol (AADGI) is predicted with low probability of their cytotoxic activity in vitro. Based on these data, a study of these compounds in vivo is conducted. Objective: the assessment of AADGI as potential antitumor medications. Materials and methods. Research antitumor activity of AADGI was done using murine tumor models - cervical cancer CC-5. Investigated compounds were injected to mice СВА abdominally 5-times daily with interval of 24 h. Observation of animals were continued till their death. Antitumor effect of compounds was assessed by criteria of tumor growth inhibition and increase in life expectancy of mice comparing to control animals. Results. The optimal dose for these series of compounds was titrated and this dose is 100 mg/kg. Antitumor activity of AADGI was assessed on CC-5. Conclusions. Based on data received we suggest an extended study in vivo of antitumor qualities of selected 5 leader AADGI.

Aiming at seeking an effective anti-hepatocarcinoma drug with low toxicity, a total of 24 amino acid derivatives (20 new along with 4 known derivatives) of two active ocotillol-type sapogenins (pyxinol and ocotillol) were synthesized. Both in vitro and in vivo anti-hepatocarcinoma effects of derivatives were evaluated. At first, the HepG2 human cancer cell was employed to evaluate the anti-cancer activity. Most of the derivatives showed obvious enhanced activity compared with pyxinol or ocotillol. Among them, compound 2e displayed the most excellent activity with an IC50 value of 11.26 ± 0.43 µM. Next, H22 hepatoma-bearing mice were used to further evaluate the anti-liver cancer activity of compound 2e. It was revealed that the growth of H22 transplanted tumor was significantly inhibited when treated with compound 2e or compound 2e combined with cyclophosphamide (CTX) (p < 0.05, p < 0.01), and the inhibition rates of tumor growth were 35.32% and 55.30%, respectively. More importantly, compound 2e caused limited damage to liver and kidney in contrast with CTX causing significant toxicity. Finally, the latent mechanism of compound 2e was explored by serum and liver metabolomics based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) technology. A total of 21 potential metabolites involved in 8 pathways were identified. These results suggest that compound 2e is a promising agent for anti-hepato-carcinoma, and that it also could be used in combination with CTX to increase efficiency and to reduce toxicity.

Objective: to evaluate the prospects of the glycosides of indolocarbazole containing amino acid residues as potential antitumor compounds. Materials and methods. For 32 compounds by structural formulas using the methods of chemoinformatics, a number of molecular descriptors and the probability of manifestation of various types of biological activity were calculated, the cytotoxic activity was evaluated in vitro by methylthiazole tetrazolium (MTT) assay using five human tumor cell lines. Results. For the studied amino acid derivatives of glycosides of indolocarbazole, a high probability of antitumor activity with a low probability of cytotoxic activity in vitro is predicted by computer method. Low cytotoxic activity was confirmed in the MTT test on 5 cell lines. Computer methods were used to predict the mechanisms of possible antitumor activity and to calculate a number of molecular descriptors that are important for the qualification of substances as potential drugs. Conclusion. It is expedient to study the antitumor activity of amino-acid derivatives of glycosides of indolocarbazole in experiments on animals with transplanted tumors.

The creation of new amino acid derivatives of 4-(1-oxo-1H-isochromen-3-yl)benzenesulfonyl chloride 1 was investigated. The interaction of the sulfonyl chloride 1 with amino acid methyl esters (hydrochlorides) in 1,4-dioxane in the presence of triethylamine led to the corresponding amino acid sulfonamide derivatives of isocoumarin. The reaction of the sulfonyl chloride 1 with phenylalanine in the basic aqueous solution was complicated by the lactone system disclosure and led to 2'-carboxydeoxybenzoin ultimately (namely, 2-(2-(4-(N-(1-carboxy-2-phenylethyl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)-2-oxoethyl)benzoic acid). Similar product was obtained by the alkali hydrolysis of methyl ((4-(1-oxo-1H-isochromen-3-yl)phenyl)sulfonyl)leucinate.

Objectives. This study aims to obtain the amino acid derivatives of chlorophyll a and bacteriochlorophyll a for the targeted delivery of pigments to tumor foci. This will increase biocompatibility and, as a result, reduce toxic side effects. In addition to photodynamic efficiency, an additional cytotoxic effect is expected for the obtained conjugates of photosensitizers (PSs) with amino acids. This is owing to the participation of the latter in intracellular biochemical processes, including interaction with the components of the glutathione antioxidant system, leading to the vulnerability of tumor cells to oxidative stress.Methods. In this work, we have implemented the optimization of the structure of a highly efficient infrared PS based on O-propyloxim-N-propoxybacteriopurpurinimide (DPBP), absorbing at 800 nm and showing photodynamic efficacy for the treatment of deep-seated and pigmented tumors, by introducing L-lysine, L-arginine, methionine sulfoximine (MSO), and buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) methyl esters. The structure of the obtained compounds was proved by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the photoinduced cytotoxicity was studied in vitro on the HeLa cell line.Results. Conjugates of DPBP with amino acids and their derivatives, such as lysine, arginine, MSO, and BSO have been prepared. The chelating ability of DPBP conjugate with lysine was shown, and its Sn(IV) complex was obtained.Conclusions. Biological testing of DPBP with MSO and BSO showed a 5–6-fold increase in photoinduced cytotoxicity compared to the parent DPBP PS. Additionally, a high internalization of pigments by tumor cells was found, and the dark cytotoxicity (in the absence of irradiation) of DPBP-MSO and DPBP-BSO increased fourfold compared to the initial DPBP compound. This can be explained by the participation of methionine derivatives in the biochemical processes of the tumor cell.

Background: Although Mycophenolic Acid (MPA) is applied as prodrugs in clinic as immunosuppressant, it possesses also anticancer activity. MPA acts as Inosine-5’-Monophosphate Dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor, where carboxylic group at the end of the side chain interacts with Ser 276 of the enzyme via hydrogen bonds. Therefore, MPA derivatives with other polar groups indicated high inhibition too. On the other hand, potent anticancer agents like dacarbazine and cisplatin give numerous side-effects. Objective: Based on the literature data, MPA derivatives should be explored towards anticancer properties. Conversion of carboxylic group of MPA to amide could maintain antiproliferative activity. Therefore, we decided to investigate several amino acid and peptide derivatives of MPA against chosen cancer cell lines in vitro. Methods: Amides of MPA hold threonine and arginine amino acid unit. These amino acid derivatives were tested as L and D enantiomers and both in free acid and methyl esters forms. Additionally, MPA was modified with tuftsin or retro-tuftsin as biologically active peptides, which could act as a drug carrier. Results: Amino acid and peptide derivatives of MPA were investigated in vitro as potential anticancer agents on cell lines: Ab melanoma, A375 melanoma and SHSY5Y neuroblastoma. The activity of the tested compounds was compared to parent MPA and known chemotherapeutics: dacarbazine and cisplatin. Conclusion: Amino acid moiety and sequence of amino acids in peptide part influenced observed activity. The most active amino acid MPA analogues occurred to be D and L-threonine derivatives as methyl esters, probably due to better cell membrane penetration.
