Chemoenzymatic synthesis with lipase catalyzed resolution and evaluation of antitumor activity of (R/S)-2-[2-hydroxy-3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl]-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinolin-3(2H)-one

Synthesis, characterization, resolution and evaluation of novel (R/S)-2-[2-hydroxy-3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl]-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinolin-3(2H)-one derivatives are described. Enantiomerically pure compounds were isolated in good to excellent yield with high enantiomeric excess under mild reaction conditions by using Candida antarctica B (CAL-B) and Candida rugosa (CRL) Lipases. Newly synthesized and resolved compounds were screened for their antitumor activity against cancer cells such as human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH and human lung carcinoma A549 cell line in vitro. The results have shown that the compound 1 S-(-) alcohol was more effective in inhibiting the tumor cell growth.

Synthesis of novel benzo[4,5]thiazolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate derivatives and biological evaluation as potential anticancer agents

A novel series of building blocks consisting of benzo[4,5]thiazolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate have been synthesized as potential anticancer compounds. These compounds were prepared from 2-aminobenzothiazole, benzaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate in ethylene glycol by catalysing with TBAHS to give benzo[4,5]thiazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivative 4 followed by the formation of amide by reaction with several secondary amines in good yields. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated against human cancer cell lines in vitro (A549, HeLa, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7). Compound 5b exhibited promising cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ values of 0.58 and 1.58 μM specifically against human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, while compound 5a showed promising cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 (IC₅₀ value of 5.01 μM).

Abstract An efficient and convenient synthesis of 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives has been achieved by a one-pot, three-component condensation reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole (1) with substituted benzaldehydes (2a–f) and β-dicarbonyl derivatives (3a–e) in presence of 30 mol% of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (TBAHS) in good to excellent yields.

Studies on the synthetic and structural aspects of benzosuberones bearing 2, 4-thiazolidenone moiety as potential anti-cancer agents.

Novel representative of the important group of biologically active benzosuberones bearing 2, 4-thiazolidenone moiety was synthesized as potential anticancer agents (6a-j). These compounds were synthesized in good yields from Knoevenagel condensation of compounds 2a-b with thiazolidenone derivatives 3a-e in the presence of sodium acetate and glacial acetic acid. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated against different human cancer cell lines (A549, HeLa, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7) and normal cell line, HEK293. Compound 6a exhibited promising cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ values ranging from 2.98 to 13.34 μM against all the tested cancer cell lines, HeLa, A549, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, while compound 6g showed potent cytotoxicity against human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7, IC₅₀ value of 1.91 μM).

Simple, Convenient Method for the Synthesis of Substituted Furan-2(5H)-one Derivatives Using Tin(II) Chloride

Abstract Furan-2(5H)-one derivatives have been synthesized by a simple, efficient, one-pot, three-component condensation of anilines, dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate, and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of tin(II) chloride in excellent yields. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Synthesis and evaluation of benzosuberone embedded with 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole moieties as new potential anti proliferative agents.

As an aspect of our ongoing research in search of new anti proliferative agents, a series of novel analogs of benzosuberone embedded with 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole moieties were synthesized in excellent yields (82-93%). All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, ESI/LC-MS, HRMS and evaluated for their in vitro anti proliferative activity against four human cancer cell lines (cervical, breast, pancreatic and alveolar). Among the synthesized compounds, 4b, 6a, 7d and 7l showed potent anti proliferative activity with GI50 values range of 0.079-0.957μM against four human cancer cell lines. However, it was revealed that the compound 7d have shown very close GI50 value 0.079μM as compared with positive control of colchicine against cervical cancer cell line.

Rational design, synthesis and anti-proliferative evaluation of novel benzosuberone tethered with hydrazide–hydrazones

Two different series of novel analogues of benzosuberones (5a-m and 9a-w) tethered with hydrazone-hydrazides (functional group alterations: Head group to Tail group and vice versa) have been synthesized by the reaction of appropriate aldehydes with substituted hydrazides in excellent yields (87-94%) and their structures were confirmed by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, ESI-MS and HRMS. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-proliferative activity against different human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MDA MB 231, MIAPACA and IMR32). Among the synthesized compounds, six compounds 5 a, 5 b, 5 d, 5 e, 5 f and 9 v exhibited potent anti-proliferative activity with GI50 values less than 0.01 μM against MIAPACA, MDA-MB-231 and IMR32 human cancer cell lines.

Abstract A short and simple synthesis of benzopyran derivatives was accomplished in good to excellent yields by the reaction of salicylaldehyde with 1,3-cyclohexanediones in aqueous media catalyzed by para-toluenesulfonic acid. The structures were established by spectroscopic data and further confirmed by x-ray analysis. In addition, water was chosen as a green solvent. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Design and synthesis of 3-(3-((9H-carbazol-4-yl)oxy)-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives to induce ACE inhibitory activity.

In an attempt to develop a new class of cardiovascular drugs, a series of novel carbazolyloxy phenylquinazoline derivatives 9a-g have been synthesized and evaluated as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Most of these compounds exhibited activity as significant ACE inhibitors and three compounds (9b, 9c & 9e) showed maximum inhibitory potency in enzyme based assays. To render support to the experimental results, a series of quinazolinone derivatives were docked into active site of ACE and identified the probable binding modes compared to Lisinopril. Also we have identified common pharmacophore hypothesis (AAADDRR) among the best docked conformers of most potent compounds in a series of compounds. The most potent 9b, 9c, 9e compounds shared common active site with the Lisinopril binding site and retained the key active site residue interactions. The obtained results from pharmacological and molecular modeling studies can be utilized for further optimization of identified hits for selective inhibition of ACE.
