Novel thiophene derivatives with sulfonamide, isoxazole, benzothiazole, quinoline and anthracene moieties as potential anticancer agents

Abstract A novel series of thiophenes having biologically active sulfonamide 2-11, 3-methylisoxazole 12, 4-methoxybenzo[d] thiazole 13, quinoline 14, 15, benzoylphenylamino 16, and anthracene-9,10-dione 17 moieties were prepared. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established by elemental analysis and spectral data. All newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF7). Most of the screened compounds showed cytotoxic activities compared to doxorubicin as a positive control. Compounds 6, 7, 9 and 13 (IC50 values 10.25, 9.70, 9.55 and 9.39 μmol L-1) revealed higher cytotoxic activities than that of doxorubicin (IC50 = 32.00 μmol L-1). Also, compounds 5, 8 and 10 were found nearly as active as doxorubicin (IC50 28.85, 23.48 and 27.51 μmol L-1).

Design, synthesis and molecular docking of novel N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide derivatives as potential antiproliferative agents

Abstract Novel pyridine, thiophene, thiazole, chromene and benzochromene derivatives bearing a N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide moiety 6–20 were synthesized. The target compounds were obtained through employing a series of heterocyclization reactions utilizing the key intermediate hydrazide hydrazone derivative 3. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral data. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Biological screening results showed that sulfonamides 6, 9, 11, 16 and 17 with IC50 values 21.81, 25.50, 20.60, 25.83 and 31.20 μM, respectively, possessed higher antiproliferative activity compared to doxorubicin, IC50 value 32.00 μM, as position control. Molecular docking study was also performed to assess the binding mode of the synthesized sulfonamides with their potential biomolecular target, carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), which is usually highly expressed in some types of cancer cells.

Synthesis, spectroscopic properties, molecular docking, anti-colon cancer and anti-microbial studies of some novel metal complexes for 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole derivative.

This article describes the synthesis of novel bidentate Schiff base (H2L) from condensation of 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole (APT) with 4,6-diacetylresorcinol (DAR) in the molar ratio 2:1. We studied interaction of ligand (H2L) with transition metal ions such as Cr(III), Fe(III), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II). The ligand (H2L) has two bidentate sets of (N-O) units which can coordinate with two metal ions to afford novel binuclear metal complexes. The directions of coordinate bonds are from nitrogen atoms of azomethine groups and oxygen atoms of the phenolic groups. Structures of the newly synthesized complexes were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, UV, (1)H NMR, ESR, TGA and mass spectral data. All of the newly synthesized complexes were evaluated for their antibacterial and anti-fungal activities. They were also evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against human colon carcinoma cells (HCT-116) and mammalian cells of African green monkey kidney (VERO). The Cu(II) complex with selectivity index (S.I.)=21.26 exhibited better activity than methotrexate (MTX) as a reference drug with S.I. value=13.30, while Zn(II) complex with S.I. value=10.24 was found to be nearly as active as MTX. Molecular docking studies further helped in understanding the mode of action of the compounds through their various interactions with active sites of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme. The observed activity of Fe(III) and Cu(II) complexes gave rise to the conclusion that they might exert their action through inhibition of the DHFR enzyme.

4-(5-Amino-4-cyano-1-p-tolyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-benzenesulfonamide (4) was prepared and converted to several pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-benzenesulfonamide derivatives (5,7,9, and 13). Cyclocondensation of 13 with different electrophilic carbon reagents afforded several 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonylphenyl)]pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]-pyrimidine derivatives (14–17,19, and 20); IR, 1HNMR, and mass spectra of the newly synthesized compounds were recorded. Most of the obtained compounds were screened against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, for which some of these derivatives gave promising results.

Heteroaromatization with Sulfonamido Phenyl Ethanone, Part II: Synthesis of Novel Thiazolyl Acetonitriles and Thiazolyl Acrylonitriles and Their Derivatives Containing Dimethylsulfonamide Moiety

The results indicated that some prepared compounds are suitable inhibitor against dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme (PDBSD:4DFR) with further modification.

Synthesis, application and antibacterial activity of new reactive dyes based on thiazole moiety

Purpose The study reported in this article aimed to synthesise and characterise new reactive dyes based on thiazole derivatives which act as chromophoric moiety. These dyes were applied to cotton fabric resulting in the dyed fabrics exhibiting good colour strength, light fastness and other fastness properties. The antibacterial activity of the dyed cotton fabric was evaluated against Gram negative and Gram positive. Design/methodology/approach The dyes were synthesised in two steps. Firstly, the coupling compound was formed by adding H-acid solution to Cyanuric chloride in an ice bath at pH 5 then adding 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid portion wise at room temperature and at pH 6-7. Secondly, different diazonium salts 4-phenylthiazol-2-amine (2a) and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl) thiazol-2-amine (2b) were coupled with the coupling compound at pH 5. The resultant monochlorotriazine reactive dyes (6a, 6b) were formed respectively. The synthesised dyes were applied onto cotton fabric under typical exhaust dyeing condition...
