Design, synthesis and screening of quinoline-incorporated thiadiazole as a potential anticonvulsant

A series of quinoline-incorporated substituted thiadiazole were designed and synthesized using appropriate synthetic route keeping in view the structural requirement of pharmacophore and evaluated for anticonvulsant and CNS activities. After intraperitoneal injection to mice, some synthesized derivatives were examined in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (scPTZ)-induced seizure and neurotoxicity screens. Those found potent were also evaluated for behavioural impairment and depression activity. Among the compounds tested, 6d and 6e showed protection from seizures in both the animal models at dose level of 30 mg/kg while 7f showed protection against both models at 100 mg/kg dose level. These compounds exhibited lesser CNS depression and neurotoxicity compared with clinically effective drug.     

Novel fatty acid‐thiadiazole derivatives as potential antimycobacterial agents

The discovery of antibiotics around the middle twentieth century led to a decrease in the interest in antimycobacterial fatty acids. In order to re‐establish the importance of naturally abundant fatty acid, a series of fatty acid‐thiadiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized based on molecular hybridization approach. In vitro antimycobacterial potential was established by a screening of synthesized compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Among them, compounds 5a , 5d , 5h , and 5j were the most active, with compound 5j exhibiting minimum inhibitory concentration of 2.34 μg/ml against M.tb H37Rv. Additionally, the compounds were docked to determine the probable binding interactions and understand the mechanism of action of most active molecules on enoyl‐acyl carrier protein reductases (InhA), which is involved in the mycobacterium fatty acid biosynthetic pathway.     

Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Some Novel Thebaine Derivatives: N‐(Tetrazol‐1H‐5‐yl)‐6,14‐endoethenotetrahydrothebaine Incorporating the 1,3,4‐Oxadiazole or the 1,3,4‐Thiadiazole Moiety

In this study, we synthesized some novel N‐(tetrazol‐1H‐5‐yl)‐6,14‐endoethenotetrahydrothebaine 7α‐substituted 1,3,4‐oxadiazole and 1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives as potential analgesic agents. The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of their IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, 2D NMR, and high‐resolution mass spectral data. The analgesic activity was evaluated by a rat‐hot plate test model and a rat tail‐flick model. Compound 12 showed analgesic activity higher than that of morphine. In addition to a histopathological and biochemical evaluation, the LD₅₀ dose for the most active compound 12 was determined.

This review will further be helpful for the researcher on the basis of substitution pattern around the nucleus with an aim to help medicinal chemists for developing an SAR on benzimidazole drugs/compounds.     

An Interactive Human Carbonic Anhydrase‐II (hCA‐II) Receptor – Pharmacophore Molecular Model & Anti‐Convulsant Activity of the Designed and Synthesized 5‐Amino‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazole‐2‐Thiol Conjugated Imine Derivatives

New imines, derived from aromatic aldehyde, chalcones and 5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole‐2‐thiol exhibited promising anti‐convulsant activity which is explained through chemo‐biological interactions at receptor site producing the inhibition of human Carbonic Anhydrase‐II enzyme (hCA‐II) through the proposed pharmacophore model at molecular levels as basis for pharmacological activity. The compounds 5‐{1‐(4‐Chlorophenyl)‐3‐[4‐(methoxy‐phenyl)‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐ylidene]amino}‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole‐2‐thiol ( 2b ), 5‐{[1‐(4‐chloro‐phenyl)]‐3‐[4‐(dimethyl‐amino‐phenyl)‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐ylidene]amino}‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole‐2‐thiol ( 2c ) and 5‐{[1‐(4‐chloro‐phenyl)]‐3‐[(4‐amino‐phenyl)‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐ylidene]amino}‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole‐2‐thiol ( 2f ) showed 100% activity in comparison with standard Acetazolamide, a known anti‐convulsant drug. The compounds 2c , 2f also passed the Rotarod and Ethanol Potentiation tests which further confirmed them to be safe in motor coordination activity and safe from generating neurological toxicity.     

Thiadiazole inhibitors: a patent review

Introduction: Four isomeric structures of thiadiazole motifs have outstanding pharmacological inhibitory applications are reported in this review. Thiadiazole nucleus is present in several biologically active natural products and commercial drugs. Most of thiadiazoles reported herein are emphasized to have broad spectrum of medicinal activities.

Areas covered: This review represents the recent inhibitory activities of thiadiazole isomeric scaffolds and their broad-spectrum biological applications published as full texts during 2010–2016 as well as the patents published during 2005–2016. The inhibition areas covered included anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant, antitubercular, antiviral, antileishmanial, anticonvulsant, herbicidal and algicidal activities in addition to enzymes, human platelet aggregation and neuroprotective inhibitors.

Expert opinion: This survey revealed very interesting data about the applications of thiadiazoles, where some synthetic or natural thiadiazole derivatives were components of drugs available in the market. Many thiadiazole derivatives can be considered as lead compounds for drug synthesis. The most inhibitory active 1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds are those incorporating secondary alkyl(aryl)amido- and/or benzylthio(mercapto) groups at positions 2 and 5. Several thiadiazole derivatives demonstrated higher antibacterial, antitumor and antiviral activities than the standard drugs. Some thiadiazole derivatives exhibited high selective enzymes inhibitory activities based on the electronic properties of the substituents at positions 2 or 5.     

Synthesis,antitumor activity evaluation,and DNA‐binding study of coumarin‐based agents

A novel series of coumarin‐thiadiazole heterocycle derivatives was synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution reaction. The synthesized compounds were structurally verified by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectra, and elemental analyses. The antitumor activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated through DNA binding assays and the 60‐cell line panel according to the US NCI‐DTP protocol or a selection of human tumor cell lines: breast cancer (MCF‐7), liver cancer (HepG‐2), and colorectal cancer (HCT‐116). Most of the compounds had better DNA/ethidium bromide fluorescence quenching rather than methyl green displacement, suggesting superior DNA intercalation over DNA groove binding. Compounds 8 and 14b showed the best quenching effect with K_SV = 4.27 × 10⁵ M^?1. Moreover, the results for compounds 8 , 4c , and 4e revealed a possible dual DNA binding mode with the intercalation to be superior, with K_SV 4.27 × 10⁵, 3.96 × 10⁵, and 3.51 × 10⁵ M^?1, respectively, compared to 42%, 45%, and 43% methyl green displacement, respectively. Out of the 60‐cell line panel, the leukemia HL‐60 cell line was the most susceptible to growth inhibition when treated with 14a , resulting in 61% growth, followed by the lung carcinoma cell line NCI‐H522 showing 67% growth when treated with 9 . Moreover, compound 10c had an IC₅₀ value of 24.9 μg/mL against the HepG‐2 cell line.

     

Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of Novel Thiadiazolylhydrazones of 1‐Substituted Indole‐3‐carboxaldehydes

A series of novel thiocarbohydrazones of substituted indoles and their corresponding thiadiazole derivatives were prepared, and their structures were confirmed by different analytical and spectroscopic methods. The derivatives were prepared by a sequential synthetic strategy including substitution at N‐1 position of indole ring by various aliphatic and benzylic substituents, followed by condensation with thiocarbohydrazide, and finally cyclization by triethyl orthoformate. The derivatives were tested for their antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and the results revealed that among the synthesized compounds, thiadiazole derivatives 4e , 4f , 4n , 4p , 4q , and 4t exhibited the highest activity with IC₅₀ value of 3.91 μg/mL. The results indicate that the thiadiazole moiety plays a vital role in exerting antimycobacterial activity.     

Synthesis and antisecretory activity of 6-substituted 5-cyanomethylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles and 2,6-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole

The synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives, related to known antiulcer agents, is reported. 5-Cyanomethyl-6-methylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole showed significant antisecretory activity in the isolated rabbit gastric glands assay.     

Relationship between structure and antineoplastic activity of arylsulfonylhydrazones of 2-formylprydine N-oxide

The effects of various structural modifications on the antineoplastic activity of the benzenesulfonylhydrazone of 2-formylpyridine N-oxide have been ascertained in mice bearing either Sarcoma 180 or leukemia L1210. To accomplish this a variety of derivatives substituted at the aldehyde proton, the aryl ring, and the 4 position of the pyridine nucleus were synthesized. Antineoplastic activity was retained when nitro, amino, chloro, bromo, fluoro, and methoxy groups were introduced into either the meta or para positions of the phenyl ring of the parent compound. In addition, substitution of the terminal phenyl group by a pyridine ring or by a bulky aromatic ring such as alpha-naphthyl, beta-naphthyl, or fluorenyl did not abolish the marked antitumor activity expressed by this class of agents. Insertion of a nitro function or a morpholino group in the 4 position of the pyridine nucleus of the benzenesulfonylhydrazone of 2-formylpyridine N-oxide resulted in two potent anticancer agents, while the introduction of a chloro function in the 4 position led to a pronounced decrease in biological activity. Furthermore, the essentiality of the aldehydic proton for tumor-inhibitor activity was demonstrated by the inactivity of two derivatives in which the aldehydic proton was replaced by a methyl group or by an oxygen atom.     

Synthesis and biological activity of nitro heterocycles analogous to megazol,a trypanocidal lead

As part of our efforts to develop new compounds aimed at the therapy of parasitic infections, we synthesized and assayed analogues of a lead compound megazol, 5-(1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-2-imidazolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine, CAS no. 19622-55-0), in vitro. We first developed a new route for the synthesis of megazol. Subsequently several structural changes were introduced, including substitutions on the two rings of the basic nucleus, replacement of the thiadiazole by an oxadiazole, replacement of the nitroimidazole part by a nitrofurane or a nitrothiophene, and substitutions on the exocyclic nitrogen atom for evaluation of an improved import by the glucose or the purine transporters. Assays of the series of compounds on the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Leishmania donovani, as either extracellular cells or infected macrophages, indicated that megazol was more active than the derivatives. Megazol was then evaluated on primates infected with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, including late-stage central nervous system infections in combination with suramin. Full recovery was observed in five monkeys in the study with no relapse of parasitemia within a 2 year follow-up. Because there is a lack of efficacious treatments for sleeping sickness in Africa and Chagas disease in South America, megazol is proposed as a potential alternative. The mutagenicity of this compound is at present being reevaluated, and metabolism is also under investigation prior to possible further developments.     

Synthesis of flurbiprofen thiadiazole urea derivatives and assessment of biological activities and molecular docking studies

Totally 15 novel flurbiprofen urea derivatives were synthesized bearing the thiadiazole ring. Their inhibition effects on tyrosinase were determined. 3c was found to be the strongest inhibitor with the IC₅₀ value of 68.0 μM against tyrosinase. The enzyme inhibition types of the synthesized compounds were determined by examining the kinetic parameters. The inhibition type of 3c was determined as uncompetitive and the K_i value was calculated as 36.3 μM. Moreover, their cytotoxic effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), colorectal carcinoma (HT-29), and melanoma (B16F10) cell lines were evaluated. According to the cytotoxicity results, 3l (IC₅₀ = 14.11 μM) showed the highest cytotoxicity on the HT-29 cells, while 3o (IC₅₀ = 4.22 μM) exhibited the strongest cytotoxic effect on HepG2 cell lines. Also, 3j (IC₅₀ = 7.55 μM strongly affected B16F10. The effects of synthesized compounds on the healthy cell line were evaluated on the CCD-986Sk cell line. Molecular modelling studies have indicated the potential binding interactions of the uncompetitive inhibitor 3c with the enzyme-substrate complex.

Dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase in homogenates of rat nucleus accumbens: structure-activity studies and effects of agonists and antagonists.

A study has been made of the structural requirements for activity on the dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase present in homogenates of rat nucleus accumbens. The only active phenylethylamine derivatives tested were those containing hydroxy groups at the 3 and 4 positions on the benzene ring, a two carbon side chain and a terminal nitrogen, either unsubstituted or containing a single methyl group. The alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, phenylephrine and isoprenaline respectively, were both inactive. Norsalsolinol was a weak agonist producing only a 50% stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity. The typical neuroleptic drugs, fluphenazine and cis-flupenthixol were both potent antagonists of the dopamine response as opposed to the atypical neuroleptics, metoclopramide and sulpiride, and the alpha- and beta-adrenergic blocking agents, phentolamine and propranolol respectively, which were all inactive. Our results indicate that the dopamine receptors associated with adenylate cyclase in the nucleus accumbens are similar to those in the corpus striatum.     

The search of DNA-intercalators as antitumoral drugs: what it worked and what did not work

The discovery of new compounds with antitumoral activity has become one of the most important goals in medicinal chemistry. One interesting group of chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer therapy comprises molecules that interact with DNA. Research in this area has revealed a range of DNA recognizing molecules that act as antitumoral agents, including groove binders, alkylating and intercalator compounds. DNA intercalators (molecules that intercalate between DNA base pairs) have attracted particular attention due to their antitumoral activity. For example, a number of acridine and anthracycline derivatives are excellent DNA intercalators that are now on the market as chemotherapeutic agents. Commercially available acridine and anthracycline derivatives have been widely studied from a variety of viewpoints, such as physicochemical properties, structural requirements, synthesis and biological activity. However, the clinical application of these and other compounds of the same class has encountered problems such as multidrug resistance (MRD), and secondary and/or collateral effects. These shortcomings have motivated the search for new compounds to be used either in place of, or in conjunction with, the existing compounds. Unfortunately, the results of this search have not met expectations. The vast majority of candidate intercalator compounds tested for use as anticancer agents have shown little or no biological activity. Research in this area has not been without benefits, however, for it has produced much information on the synthesis and antitumoral properties of hundreds of compounds, which have been tested on diverse tumoral cell lines. This review considers the structural and biological considerations relevant to the use of DNA intercalators and bis-intercalators as antitumoral agents, with an emphasis on the relationship between structure and activity, produced in last decade.     

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial activity of novel heterocycle,coumacine, and two of its derivatives

Heterocyclic nucleus plays a fundamental role in the medicinal chemistry and serves as a key template for the development of various therapeutic agents including broad spectrum antibacterial drugs. In an effort to develop new antibacterial agents, a bicyclic twelve-membered heterocyclic nucleus derived from coumarin was prepared by an uncomplicated method. The rate of ring closure for this nucleus, which was given the name coumacine, in addition to two of its derivatives was monitored spectroscopically and this rate followed zero order kinetics. The chemical structures of the synthesized products were established by detecting their physicochemical properties and analyzing their IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra. The in vitro antibacterial activity of coumacines was evaluated via agar dilution method against different standard aerobic and anaerobic bacterial strains using ciprofloxacin and metronidazole as positive controls, respectively; the results indicated that coumacine I has an excellent broad spectrum antibacterial activity against the tested bacterial strains with percentage of growth inhibition approximating to those of positive controls.     

Structure Activity Relationship of Antiproliferative Agents using Multiple Linear Regression

With cancer‐related fatalities being the second leading cause of death in the USA, understanding the activity of effective chemotherapeutic agents is critical to addressing prostate and other cancers. Celecoxib, an FDA‐approved drug for the treatment of colon tumors, has been used successfully as a lead compound in the development of antiproliferative agents. The ability of celecoxib to inhibit the development and progression of tumors has been connected to a number of mechanisms of actions that are both dependent on and independent of its cyclooxygenase‐2 activity. A structure‐based approach has been employed to develop a model that underscores the structural significance of celecoxib as an antiproliferative agent. By evaluating the structure activity of this library of molecules, we were able to create a QSAR model for predicting the antiproliferative activity of structurally similar molecules. The development of the model will be presented in this paper.     

Synthesis and evaluation of hydroquinone derivatives as inhibitors of Isocitrate Lyase

Isocitrate lyase (ICL) is envisaged as an attractive drug target for the development of antimicrobial agents. We have prepared a series of hydroquinone derivatives on the basis of the structure of halisulfates, a naturally occurring inhibitor of ICL. The obtained derivatives were evaluated against ICL of C. albicans. The preliminary structure-activity relationships and the minimal structural requirements for potency were established through structural modifications.
