Coumarin Triazoles as Potential Antimicrobial Agents.

ABSTRACT: Currently, in hospitals and community health centers, microbial infections are highly common diseases and are a leading cause of death worldwide. Antibiotics are generally used to fight microbial infections; however, because of the abuse of antibiotics, microbes have become increasingly more resistant to most of them. Therefore, medicinal chemists are constantly searching for new or improved alternatives to combat microbial infections. Coumarin triazole derivatives displayed a variety of therapeutic applications, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. This review summarizes the advances of coumarin triazole derivatives as potential antimicrobial agents covering articles published from 2006 to 2022.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel Schiff base-bridged tetrahydroprotoberberine triazoles as a new type of potential antimicrobial agents.

Project description:A series of novel Schiff base-bridged tetrahydroprotoberberine (THPB) triazoles were designed, synthesized and characterized for the first time. Antimicrobial assay showed that some of the prepared compounds exerted stronger antibacterial and antifungal activities than the reference drugs. Especially, THPB triazole 7a gave low MIC values of 0.5, 1 and 2 μg mL-1 against B. yeast, M. luteus and MRSA, respectively. Further experiments indicated that the highly active molecule 7a was able to rapidly kill the MRSA strain and did not trigger the development of bacterial resistance even after 14 passages. The preliminary exploration for the antimicrobial mechanism revealed that compound 7a could effectively intercalate into calf thymus DNA to form a 7a-DNA supramolecular complex, and its Zn2+ complex had the ability to directly cleave pUC19 DNA, which suggested that compound 7a might be a potentially dual-targeting antibacterial molecule. It was also found that compound 7a could be efficiently stored and carried by human serum albumin (HSA), and the hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds played important roles in the transportation of HSA to the active molecule 7a.

Novel Coumarin-Thiadiazole Hybrids and Their Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes as Potential Antimicrobial Agents and Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of coumarin-thiadiazole hybrids and their corresponding Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized with the use of spectroscopic techniques. The results obtained indicate that all the coumarin-thiadiazole hybrids act as bidentate chelators of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions. The complexes isolated differ in their ligand:metal ratio depending on the central metal. In most cases, the Zn(II) complexes are characteristic of a 1:1 ligand:metal ratio, while in the Cu(II) complexes the ligand:metal ratio is 2:1. All compounds were tested as potential antibacterial agents against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacterial strains demonstrating activities notably lower than commercially available antibiotics. The more promising results were obtained from the assessment of antineurodegenerative potency as all compounds showed moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition activity.

Exploring Novel Coumarin-Tethered Bis-Triazoles: Apoptosis Induction in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells, Antimicrobial Effects, and Molecular Modelling Investigations.

Project description:In the present study, we identified that two representative compounds (7 c and 9 f) of our newly synthesized coumarin-tagged bis-triazoles induced apoptosis in human pancreatic cells (PANC-1) by caspase 3/7mediated pathway. Both 7 c and 9 f (IC50=7.15±1.19 and 6.09±0.79 μM, respectively) were found to be ~100 times superior against PANC-1 as compared to the standard drug Gemcitabine (IC50=>500 μM), without showing any toxicity to the normal pancreatic epithelial cells (H6C7). Molecular docking studies further endorsed them as potential pancreatic cancer therapeutics due to their strong hydrogen bonding interactions with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) enzyme, which is overexpressed in cancerous cells including pancreatic cancer. Additionally, these compounds also showed moderate inhibitory activity against a panel of microbial strains. Overall, our findings reveal that the coumarin hybrids 7 c and 9 f are viable chemotypes to be adopted as templates for the development of new anticancer drugs, particularly against pancreatic cancer.

Molecular Insights into Coumarin Analogues as Antimicrobial Agents: Recent Developments in Drug Discovery.

Project description:A major global health risk has been witnessed with the development of drug-resistant bacteria and multidrug-resistant pathogens linked to significant mortality. Coumarins are heterocyclic compounds belonging to the benzophenone class enriched in different plants. Coumarins and their derivatives have a wide range of biological activity, including antibacterial, anticoagulant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitumour, and enzyme inhibitory effects. In the past few years, attempts have been reported towards the optimization, synthesis, and evaluation of novel coumarin analogues as antimicrobial agents. Several coumarin-based antibiotic hybrids have been developed, and the majority of them were reported to exhibit potential antibacterial effects. In the present work, studies reported from 2016 to 2020 about antimicrobial coumarin analogues are the focus. The diverse biological spectrum of coumarins can be attributed to their free radical scavenging abilities. In addition to various synthetic strategies developed, some of the structural features include a heterocyclic ring with electron-withdrawing/donating groups conjugated with the coumarin nucleus. The suggested structure-activity relationship (SAR) can provide insight into how coumarin hybrids can be rationally improved against multidrug-resistant bacteria. The present work demonstrates molecular insights for coumarin derivatives having antimicrobial properties from the recent past. The detailed SAR outcomes will benefit towards leading optimization during the discovery and development of novel antimicrobial therapeutics.

Synthesis and Evaluation of New Coumarin Derivatives as Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Anti-Inflammatory Agents.

Project description:New pyranocoumarin and coumarin-sulfonamide derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and/or anti-inflammatory activities. Coumarin-sulfonamide compounds 8a-d demonstrated significant antioxidant activity, while 7c,d, 8c,d, and 9c,d exhibited antimicrobial activity equal to or higher than the standard antimicrobials against at least one tested microorganism. Regarding the anti-inflammatory testing, pyranocoumarins 2b, 3a,b and 5c and coumarin-sulfonamide compound 9a showed more potent antiproteinase activity than aspirin in vitro; however, five compounds were as potent as aspirin. The anti-inflammatory activity of the promising compounds was further assessed pharmacologically on formaldehyde-induced rat paw oedema and showed significant inhibition of oedema. For in vitro COX-inhibitory activity of coumarin derivatives, pyranocoumarin derivative 5a was the most selective (SI = 152) and coumarin-sulfonamide derivative 8d was most active toward COX-2 isozyme. The most active derivatives met the in silico criteria for orally active drugs; thus, they may serve as promising candidates to develop more potent and highly efficient antioxidant, antimicrobial, and/or anti-inflammatory agents.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Studies of Coumarin-Substituted Pyrazole Derivatives as Potent Anti-Staphylococcus aureus Agents.

Project description:In this paper, synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 31 novel coumarin-substituted pyrazole derivatives are reported. Some of these compounds have shown potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 3.125 µg/mL. These molecules are equally potent at inhibiting the development of MRSA biofilm and the destruction of preformed biofilm. These results are very significant as MRSA strains have emerged as one of the most menacing pathogens of humans and this bacterium is bypassing HIV in terms of fatality rate.

Plant antimicrobial peptides as potential anticancer agents.

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are part of the innate immune defense mechanism of many organisms and are promising candidates to treat infections caused by pathogenic bacteria to animals and humans. AMPs also display anticancer activities because of their ability to inactivate a wide range of cancer cells. Cancer remains a cause of high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, the development of methods for its control is desirable. Attractive alternatives include plant AMP thionins, defensins, and cyclotides, which have anticancer activities. Here, we provide an overview of plant AMPs anticancer activities, with an emphasis on their mode of action, their selectivity, and their efficacy.

Design, Synthesis, and Mechanism of Dihydroartemisinin⁻Coumarin Hybrids as Potential Anti-Neuroinflammatory Agents.

Project description:Cancer patients frequently suffer from cancer-related fatigue (CRF), which is a complex syndrome associated with weakness and depressed mood. Neuroinflammation is one of the major inducers of CRF. The aim of this study is to find a potential agent not only on the treatment of cancer, but also for reducing CRF level of cancer patients. In this study, total-thirty new Dihydroartemisinin-Coumarin hybrids (DCH) were designed and synthesized. The in vitro cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines (HT-29, MDA-MB-231, HCT-116, and A549) was evaluated. Simultaneously, we also tested the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of DCH. DCH could inhibit the activated microglia N9 release of NO, TNF-α, and IL-6. The docking analysis was shown that MD-2, the coreceptor of TLR4, might be one of the targets of DCH.

New antimicrobial agents development

Project description:With the growing antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, it is urgent to discover new antimicrobials to solve this problem. By bacterial growth based high-throughput screening, we identified two compounds, C218-0546 and STK848198, with effective antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. This study aims to explore the model of action of the compounds by transcriptomic analysis and other microbiological methods. The transcriptomic data would provide us information about the regulated genes, and hence help us further study the underlying antimicrobial mechanisms by the compounds.

Design, Synthesis, in vitro and in silico Characterization of 2-Quinolone-L-alaninate-1,2,3-triazoles as Antimicrobial Agents.

Project description:Due to the ever-increasing antimicrobial resistance there is an urgent need to continuously design and develop novel antimicrobial agents. Inspired by the broad antibacterial activities of various heterocyclic compounds such as 2-quinolone derivatives, we designed and synthesized new methyl-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-L-alaninate-1,2,3-triazole derivatives via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1-propargyl-2-quinolone-L-alaninate with appropriate azide groups. The synthesized compounds were obtained in good yield ranging from 75 to 80 %. The chemical structures of these novel hybrid molecules were determined by spectroscopic methods and the antimicrobial activity of the compounds was investigated against both bacterial and fungal strains. The tested compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity and weak to moderate antifungal activity. Despite the evident similarity of the quinolone moiety of our compounds with fluoroquinolones, our compounds do not function by inhibiting DNA gyrase. Computational characterization of the compounds shows that they have attractive physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties and could serve as templates for developing potential antimicrobial agents for clinical use.
