Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Benzimidazole Derivatives and Analogs Targeting the NLRP3 Inflammasome.

ABSTRACT: A series of benzo[d]imidazole analogues of thiabenzole were synthesized and their antiinflammatory activities toward NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat containing protein family，pyrin domain-containing 3，also known as cryopyrin or NALP3) inflammasome were evaluated in vitro. Two lead compounds, TBZ-09 and TBZ-21, were identified by antiproduction of IL-1β. In the second round of biological evaluation, based on the lead, 34 more compounds were synthesized and their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities were investigated. Several compounds were identified as anti-inflammatory agents that can reduce IL-1β expression in a dosedependent manner. A preliminary structure-activity relationship is also summarized here.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Amino and Amido Substituted Pentacyclic Benzimidazole Derivatives as Antiproliferative Agents.

Project description:Newly designed pentacyclic benzimidazole derivatives featuring amino or amido side chains were synthesized to assess their in vitro antiproliferative activity. Additionally, we investigated their direct interaction with nucleic acids, aiming to uncover potential mechanisms of biological action. These compounds were prepared using conventional organic synthesis methodologies alongside photochemical and microwave-assisted reactions. Upon synthesis, the newly derived compounds underwent in vitro testing for their antiproliferative effects on various human cancer cell lines. Notably, derivatives 6 and 9 exhibited significant antiproliferative activity within the submicromolar concentration range. The biological activity was strongly influenced by the N atom's position on the quinoline moiety and the position and nature of the side chain on the pentacyclic skeleton. Findings from fluorescence, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and thermal melting assays pointed toward a mixed binding mode-comprising intercalation and the binding of aggregated compounds along the polynucleotide backbone-of these pentacyclic benzimidazoles with DNA and RNA.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-aryl-benzimidazole derivatives of dehydroabietic acid as novel tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

Project description:A series of novel 2-aryl-benzimidazole derivatives of dehydroabietic acid were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analyses. All the target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, HeLa and CT-26 cancer cell lines and the normal hepatocyte cell line QSG-7701 through MTT assays. Among them, compound 6j displayed the most potent cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 0.08 ± 0.01, 0.19 ± 0.04, 0.23 ± 0.05 and 0.42 ± 0.07 μM, respectively, and substantially reduced cytotoxicity against QSG-7701 cells (5.82 ± 0.38 μM). The treatment of SMMC-7721 cells with compound 6j led to considerable inhibition of cell migration ability. The influence of compound 6j on cell cycle distribution was assessed on SMMC-7721 cells, exhibiting a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Moreover, tubulin polymerization assays and immunofluorescence assays elucidated that compound 6j could significantly inhibit tubulin polymerization and disrupt the intracellular microtubule network. A molecular docking study provided insight into the binding mode of compound 6j in the colchicine site of tubulin. In addition, compound 6j was found to induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, an increase of intracellular ROS level and a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in a dose-dependent manner. These findings provided new molecular scaffolds for the further development of novel antitumor agents targeting tubulin polymerization.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Benzimidazole Derivatives as Potential Lassa Virus Inhibitors.

Project description:The Lassa virus (LASV) causes Lassa fever, a highly infectious and lethal agent of acute viral hemorrhagic fever. At present, there are still no effective treatments available, creating an urgent need to develop novel therapeutics. Some benzimidazole compounds targeting the arenavirus envelope glycoprotein complex (GPC) are promising inhibitors of LASV. In this study, we synthesized two series of LASV inhibitors based on the benzimidazole structure. Lentiviral pseudotypes bearing the LASV GPC were established to identify virus entry inhibitors. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was further used to verify the binding activities of the potential compounds. Compounds 7d-Z, 7h-Z, 13c, 13d, and 13f showed relatively excellent antiviral activities with IC50 values ranging from 7.58 to 15.46 nM and their SI values above 1251. These five representative compounds exhibited stronger binding affinity with low equilibrium dissociation constants (KD < 8.25 × 10-7 M) in SPR study. The compound 7h-Z displayed the most potent antiviral activity (IC50 = 7.58 nM) with a relatively high SI value (2496), which could be further studied as a lead compound. The structure-activity relationship indicated that the compounds with lipophilic and spatially larger substituents might possess higher antiviral activity and a much larger safety margin. This study will provide some good guidance for the development of highly active compounds with a novel skeleton against LASV.

Synthesis and Anti-inflammatory Evaluation of Novel Benzimidazole and Imidazopyridine Derivatives.

Project description:Sepsis, an acute inflammatory disease, remains the most common cause of death in intensive care units. A series of benzimidazole and imidazopyridine derivatives were synthesized and screened for anti-inflammatory activities, and the imidazopyridine series showed excellent inhibition of the expression of inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Compounds X10, X12, X13, X14, and X15 inhibited TNF-α and IL-6 release in a dose-dependent manner, and X12 showed no cytotoxicity in hepatic cells. Furthermore, X12 exhibited a significant protection against LPS-induced septic death in mouse models. Together, these data present a series of new imidazopyridines with potential therapeutic effects in acute inflammatory diseases.

Targeting EGFR Tyrosine Kinase: Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Quinazolinone Derivatives.

Project description:Impaired cell cycle regulation and disturbance in signal transduction pathway are two major causes of a condition defined as cancer, one of the significant reasons for mortality worldwide. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have been commonly used as anticancer agents, and the majority of this medications possess quinazoline moiety as a heteroaromatic core. In this study, two novel series of EGFR-TKIs containing quinazolinone core were designed and synthesized. Most compounds showed reasonable inhibitory activity against EGFR-TK compared to that of erlotinib, a reversible inhibitor of this enzyme. Compound 8b, 2-((2-chlorobenzyl)amino)-6-phenoxyquinazolin-4(1H)-one, with an IC50 value of 1.37 nM exhibited the highest potency. Molecular docking study of compound 8b showed that it had the same direction of erlotinib and formed proper hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with the important amino acid residues of the active site. Based on in-silico calculations of ADME properties, our novel compounds have the potential to be orally active agents.

Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel Pleuromutilin Derivatives with Substituted Benzimidazole Moieties.

Project description:A series of novel pleuromutilin derivatives with substituted benzimidazole moieties were designed and synthesized from pleuromutilin and 5-amino-2-mercaptobenzimidazole through sequential reactions. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, and HRMS. Each of the derivatives was evaluated in vitro for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and five Gram (+) inoculums. 14-O-((5-amino-benzimidazole-2-yl) thioacetyl) mutilin (3) was the most active compound and showed highest antibacterial activities. Furthermore, we evaluated the inhibition activities of compound 3 on short-term S. aureus and MRSA growth and cytochrome P450 (CYP). The bioassay results indicate that compound 3 could be considered potential antibacterial agents but with intermediate inhibition of CYP3A4.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel podophyllotoxin derivatives as tubulin-targeting anticancer agents.

Project description:ContextPodophyllotoxin (PPT) derivatives, used in cancer therapy, require development toward enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity.ObjectiveThis study synthesizes PPT derivatives to assess their anticancer activities.Materials and methodsCompounds E1-E16 antiproliferative activity was tested against four human cancer cell lines (H446, MCF-7, HeLa, A549) and two normal cell lines (L02, BEAS-2B) using the CCK-8 assay. The effects of compound E5 on A549 cell growth were evaluated through molecular docking, in vitro assays (flow cytometry, wound healing, Transwell, colony formation, Western blot), and in vivo tests in female BALB/c nude mice treated with E5 (2 and 4 mg/kg). E5 (4 mg/kg) significantly reduced xenograft tumor growth compared to the DMSO control group.ResultsAmong the 16 PPT derivatives tested for cytotoxicity, E5 exhibited potent effects against A549 cells (IC50: 0.35 ± 0.13 µM) and exceeded the reference drugs PPT and etoposide to inhibit the growth of xenograft tumours. E5-induced cell cycle arrest in the S and G2/M phases accelerated tubulin depolymerization and triggered apoptosis and mitochondrial depolarization while regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and effectively inhibited cell migration and invasion, suggesting a potential to limit metastasis. Molecular docking showed binding of E5 to tubulin at the colchicine site and to Akt, with a consequent down-regulation of PI3K/Akt pathway proteins.Discussion and conclusionsThis research lays the groundwork for advancing cancer treatment through developing and using PPT derivatives. The encouraging results associated with E5 call for extended research and clinical validation, leading to novel and more effective cancer therapies.

Novel Carbonyl Analogs of Tamoxifen: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:Aim of this work was to provide tamoxifen analogs with enhanced estrogen receptor (ER) binding affinity. Hence, several derivatives were prepared using an efficient triarylethylenes synthetic protocol. The novel compounds bioactivity was evaluated through the determination of their receptor binding affinity and their agonist/antagonist activity against breast cancer tissue using a MCF-7 cell-based assay. Phenyl esters 6a,b and 8a,b exhibited binding affinity to both ERα and ERβ higher than 4-hydroxytamoxifen while compounds 13 and 14 have shown cellular antiestrogenic activity similar to 4-hydroxytamoxifen and the known ER inhibitor ICI182,780. Theoretical calculations and molecular modeling were applied to investigate, support and explain the biological profile of the new compounds. The relevant data indicated an agreement between calculations and demonstrated biological activity allowing to extract useful structure-activity relationships. Results herein underline that modifications of tamoxifen structure still provide molecules with substantial activity, as portrayed in the inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Bufalin Derivatives.

Project description:Bufalin and other cardiac steroids (CS) have been used for centuries for the treatment of congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and other maladies. However, toxicity and the small therapeutic window of this family of steroids limit their use. Therefore, attempts to synthesize a potent, but less toxic, CS are of major importance. In the present study, two novel bufalin derivatives were synthesized and some of their pharmacological properties were characterized. The reaction of bufalin with Ishikawa's reagent resulted in the production of two novel bufalin derivatives: bufalin 2,3-ene and bufalin 3,4-ene. The compounds were purified with TLC and HPLC and their structure was verified with UV, NMR, and MS analyses. The biological activities of these compounds were evaluated by testing their ability to inhibit the Na+, K+-ATPase activity of the brain microsomal fraction to induce cytotoxic activity against the NCI-60 human tumor cell line panel and non-cancer human cells, and to increase the force of contraction of quail embryonic heart muscle cells in culture. The two steroids exhibited biological activities similar to those of other CS in the tested experimental systems, but with reduced cytotoxicity, advocating their development as drugs for the treatment of heart failure and arrhythmias.
