Novel Disperse Dyes Based on Enaminones: Synthesis, Dyeing Performance on Polyester Fabrics, and Potential Biological Activities

1-(3-aryl)-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-en-1-one (enaminones) derivatives and the diazonium salt of para-chloroaniline were used to synthesize several novel disperse azo dyes with high yield and the use of an environmentally friendly approach. At 100 and 130 °C, we dyed polyester fabrics using the new synthesized disperse dyes. At various temperatures, the dyed fabrics' color intensity was assessed. The results we obtained showed that dyeing utilizing a high temperature method at 130 °C was enhanced than dyeing utilizing a low temperature method at 100 °C. Reusing dye baths once or twice was a way to achieve two goals at the same time. The first was obtaining a dyed product at no cost, and the second was a way to treat the wastewater of dyeing bath effluents and reuse it again. Good results were obtained for the fastness characteristics of polyester dyed with disperse dyes. When the disperse dyes were tested against certain types of microbes and cancer cells, they demonstrated good and encouraging findings for the potential to be used as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents.

Stereoselective synthesis and X-ray structure determination of novel 1,2-dihydroquinolinehydrazonopropanoate derivatives

A novel series of 1,2-dihydroquinolinhydrazonopropanoate have been synthesized via a convenient aza-Michael addition reaction between hydrazinylquinolinones and ethyl propiolate in ethanol under refluxing temperature. The structures for all obtained products were confirmed with FTIR, NMR spectrums, as well as mass spectrometry. In addition, the monoclinic structure for compounds 8a, 8c, and 8d was also confirmed via X-ray crystallography analyses. The E-configuration for the obtained products was confirmed form the X-ray analysis. On the other hand, the crystal packing shows that the intermolecular and hydrogen bonds between atoms are parallel to the bc plan.

Synthesis of antioxidant and antimicrobial bioactive compounds based on the quinoline-hydrazone and benzimidazole structure

Quinoline and its derivatives are known to have various biological activities such as antibacterial and antioxidant. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize quinoline moiety from isatin and ethyl acetoacetate by Pfitzinger reaction under acidic conditions. The benzimidazole derivative was synthesized from quinoline and o-phenylenediamine by a solvent-less reaction, while the hydrazone derivative was formed by the reaction with hydrazine hydrate and aromatic aldehyde. In addition, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was used as an aromatic aldehyde. The four compounds formed were characterized by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), melting point measurement, Fourier-transform infrared, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. They were also evaluated for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay and the disc diffusion method, respectively. All compounds showed weak antioxidant activity compared to ascorbic acid; the quinoline-hydrazone derivative showed the best antioxidant activity with IC50 = 843.52 ppm, while the IC50 value for quinoline-benzimidazole was 4784.66 ppm. All synthesized compounds have not been confirmed to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria in a concentration range of 75-1000 ppm. The bioactive compounds based on the quinoline-hydrazone and benzimidazole structures have been successfully synthesized and tested for their activity as antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

Spotlight on 4-substituted quinolines as potential anti-infective agents: Journey beyond chloroquine

Continued emerging resistance of pathogens against the clinically approved candidates and their associated limitations continuously demand newer agents having better potency with a more suited safety profile. Quinoline nuclei containing scaffolds of natural and synthetic origin have been documented for diverse types of pharmacological activities, and a number of drugs are clinically approved. In the present review, we unprecedentedly covered the biological potential of 4-substituted quinoline and elaborated a rationale for its special privilege to afford the significant number of approved clinical drugs, particularly against infectious pathogens. Compounds with 4-substituted quinoline are well documented for antimalarial activity, but in the last two decades, they have been extensively explored for activity against cancer, tuberculosis, and several other pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other infectious pathogens. In the present study, the anti-infective spectrum of this scaffold is discussed against viruses, mycobacteria, malarial parasites, and fungal and bacterial strains, along with recent updates in this area, with special emphasis on the structure-activity relationship.

Quinoline Hydrazide/Hydrazone Derivatives: Recent Insights on Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Action

Antibiotics are becoming gradually ineffective due to drug resistance, leading to greater difficulty in the treatment of infectious diseases. Therefore, the development of new chemical entities with different mechanisms of action is essential in the fight against resistant microorganisms. Various studies have shown that quinoline hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives possess several biological activities, such as antimalarial, antitubercular, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. Among these activities, the antibacterial activity of quinoline hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives is noteworthy. The synthetic flexibility of the quinoline ring has led to the development of a wide range of structurally diverse quinoline hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives, which can act at various bacterial targets such as DNA gyrase, glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, enoyl ACP reductase, and 3-ketoacyl ACP reductase. This review emphasizes the antibacterial potential of various reported quinoline hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives based on substitution in the quinoline ring. The antibacterial activity of various metal-quinoline hydrazide/hydrazone complexes is also discussed. The aim of this review is to assemble and scrutinize the latest reports in this promising area of drug development.

Synthesis, Biological Activity and Molecular Docking Studies of Novel Nicotinic Acid Derivatives

In our research, we used nicotinic acid as a starting compound, which was subjected to a series of condensation reactions with appropriate aldehydes. As a result of these reactions, we were able to obtain a series of twelve acylhydrazones, two of which showed promising activity against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC = 1.95-15.62 µg/mL), especially against Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 (MIC = 1.95 µg/mL). Moreover, the activity of compound 13 against the Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 strain, i.e., the MRSA strain, was MIC = 7.81 µg/mL. Then, we subjected the entire series of acylhydrazones to a cyclization reaction in the acetic anhydride, thanks to which we were able to obtain twelve new 3-acetyl-2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoline derivatives. Obtained 1,3,4-oxadiazolines were also tested for antimicrobial activity. The results showed high activity of compound 25 with a 5-nitrofuran substituent, which was active against all tested strains. The most promising activity of this compound was found against Gram-positive bacteria, in particular against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 (MIC = 7.81 µg/mL) and ATCC 43300 MRSA strains (MIC = 15.62 µg/mL). Importantly, the best performing compounds did not show cytotoxicity against normal cell lines. It seems practical to use some of these compounds or their derivatives in the future in the prevention and treatment of infections caused by some pathogenic or opportunistic microorganisms.

Novel Derivatives of 4-Methyl-1,2,3-Thiadiazole-5-Carboxylic Acid Hydrazide: Synthesis, Lipophilicity, and In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity Screening

Bacterial infections, especially those caused by strains resistant to commonly used antibiotics and chemotherapeutics, are still a current threat to public health. Therefore, the search for new molecules with potential antimicrobial activity is an important research goal. In this article, we present the synthesis and evaluation of the in vitro antimicrobial activity of a series of 15 new derivatives of 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxylic acid. The potential antimicrobial effect of the new compounds was observed mainly against Gram-positive bacteria. Compound 15, with the 5-nitro-2-furoyl moiety, showed the highest bioactivity: minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 1.95–15.62 µg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)/MIC = 1–4 µg/mL.

Synthesis and Structure Insights of Two Novel Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Candidates Based on (E)-N'-[(Heteroaryl)methylene]adamantane-1-carbohydrazides

Two new N′-heteroarylidene-1-carbohydrazide derivatives, namely; E-N′-[(pyridine-3-yl)methylidene]adamantane-1-carbohydrazide (1) and E-N′-[(5-nitrothiophen-2-yl)methylidene]adamantane-1-carbohydrazide (2), were produced via condensation of adamantane-1-carbohydrazide with the appropriate heterocyclic aldehyde. Both compounds were chemically and structurally characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, infrared and UV-vis spectroscopies, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The study was complemented with density functional theory calculations (DFT). The results show an asymmetrical charge distribution in both compounds, with the electron density accumulated around the nitrogen and oxygen atoms, leaving the positive charge surrounding the N-H and C-H bonds in the hydrazine group. Consequently, the molecules stack in an antiparallel fashion in the crystalline state, although the contribution of the polar contacts to the stability of the lattice is different for 1 (18%) and 2 (42%). This difference affects the density and symmetry of their crystal structures. Both molecules show intense UV-Vis light absorption in the range 200–350 nm (1) and 200–500 nm (2), brought about by π → π* electronic transitions. The electron density difference maps (EDDM) revealed that during light absorption, the electron density flows within the π-delocalized system, among the pyridyl/thiophene ring, the nitro group, and the N′-methyleneacetohydrazide moiety. Interestingly, compounds 1 and 2 constitute broad-spectrum antibacterial candidates, displaying potent antibacterial activity with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values around 0.5–2.0 μg/mL. They also show weak or moderate antifungal activity against the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans.

Bis(N′-(3-chlorobenzoyl)isonicotinohydrazide)iron(III) Complex

The bis(N′-(3-chlorobenzoyl)isonicotinohydrazide)iron(III) complex was synthesised from N′-(3-chlorobenzoyl)isonicotinohydrazide and iron(III) metal by reflux in an ethanol solution. The title compound was characterised by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA) and UV-visible spectroscopy. The results indicate that coordination of the iron(III) ion to the ligand increased its thermal stability.

Recent Advances in Apoptosis: THE Role of Hydrazones

The process of programmed cell death in higher eukaryotes (apoptosis), is generally characterized by distinct morphological characteristics and energy-dependent biochemical mechanisms. Apoptosis is considered as a vital component of various processes including normal cell turnover, proper development and functioning of the immune system, hormone-dependent atrophy, embryonic development and chemical-induced cell death. Apoptosis seems to play an important key role in the progression of several human diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and many types of cancer. Promotion of apoptosis may be a good approach for the prevention of cancer cell proliferation. In early studies, antitumor compounds have been found to induce the apoptotic process in tumor cells. On the other hand, several hydrazones were reported to have lower toxicity than hydrazides due to the blockage of -NH2 group. Therefore, the design of hydrazones that activate and promote apoptosis is an attractive strategy for the discovery and development of potential anticancer agents. The aim of this review is to provide a general overview of current knowledge and the connection between apoptosis and hydrazone. It is also the guide for the apoptotic activities of new hydrazone derivatives.

NO-releasing STAT3 inhibitors suppress BRAF-mutant melanoma growth

Constitutive activation of STAT3 can play a vital role in the development of melanoma. STAT3-targeted therapeutics are reported to show efficacy in melanomas harboring the BRAFV600E mutant and also in vemurafenib-resistant melanomas. We designed and synthesized a series of substituted nitric oxide (NO)-releasing quinolone-1,2,4-triazole/oxime hybrids, hypothesizing that the introduction of a STAT3 binding scaffold would augment their cytotoxicity. All the hybrids tested showed a comparable level of in vitro NO production. 7b and 7c exhibited direct binding to the STAT3-SH domain with IC₅₀ of ∼ 0.5 μM. Also, they abrogated STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in several cancer cell lines, including the A375 melanoma cell line that carries the BRAFV600E mutation. At the same time, they did not affect the phosphorylation of upstream kinases or other STAT isoforms. 7c inhibited STAT3 nuclear translocation in mouse embryonic fibroblast while 7b and 7c inhibited STAT3 DNA-binding activity in the A375 cell line. Their anti-proliferating activity is attributed to their ability to trigger the production of reactive oxygen species and induce G1 cell cycle arrest in the A375 cell line. Interestingly, 7b and 7c showed robust cell growth suppression and apoptosis induction in two pairs of BRAF inhibitor-naïve (-S) and resistant (-R) melanoma cell lines containing a BRAF V600E mutation. Surprisingly, MEL1617-R cells that are known to be more resistance to MEK inhibition by GSK1120212 than MEL1617-S cells exhibit a similar response to 7b and 7c.

Synthetic approaches and pharmaceutical applications of chloro-containing molecules for drug discovery: A critical review

At present more than 250 FDA approved chlorine containing drugs were available in the market and many pharmaceutically important drug candidates in pre-clinical trials. Thus, it is quite obvious to expect that in coming decades there will be an even greater number of new chlorine-containing pharmaceuticals in market. Chlorinated compounds represent the family of compounds promising for use in medicinal chemistry. This review describes the recent advances in the synthesis of chlorine containing heterocyclic compounds as diverse biological agents and drugs in the pharmaceutical industries for the inspiration of the discovery and development of more potent and effective chlorinated drugs against numerous death-causing diseases.

New quinoline/chalcone hybrids as anti-cancer agents: Design, synthesis, and evaluations of cytotoxicity and PI3K inhibitory activity

A series of quinoline-chalcone hybrids was designed as potential anti-cancer agents, synthesized and evaluated. Different cytotoxic assays revealed that compounds experienced promising activity. Compounds 9i and 9j were the most potent against all the cell lines tested with IC₅₀ = 1.91-5.29 µM against A549 and K-562 cells. Mechanistically, 9i and 9j induced G₂/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both A549 and K562 cells. Moreover, all PI3K isoforms were inhibited non selectively with IC₅₀s of 52-473 nM when tested against the two mentioned compounds with 9i being most potent against PI3K-γ (IC₅₀ = 52 nM). Docking of 9i and 9j showed a possible formation of H-bonding with essential valine residues in the active site of PI3K-γ isoform. Meanwhile, Western blotting analysis revealed that 9i and 9j inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, as well as GSK-3β in both A549 and K562 cells, suggesting the correlation of blocking PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway with the above antitumor activities. Together, our findings support the antitumor potential of quinoline-chalcone derivatives for NSCLC and CML by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Synthesis, identification and in vitro biological evaluation of some novel quinoline incorporated 1,3-thiazinan-4-one derivatives

The present study describes the synthesis of two new series of 3-hydroxy-N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-3-yl)-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide derivatives (4a-j) and 3-((7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)methyl)-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazinan-4-one derivatives (5a-7j). All the compounds were synthesized in moderate to good yield by one-pot three component cyclo-condensation reaction. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR and elemental analysis. The compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against a panel of pathogenic bacterial strains, antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv and also for their in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Among the synthesized compounds two of them (4f and 5f) showed excellent antibacterial activity against C. tetani at 15.6μg/mL. Some of them exhibited excellent antitubercular (4f &5f) and good antimalarial (4f, 5f &6f) activity compared with the first line drugs.

3-methoxy aroylhydrazones - free radicals scavenging, anticancer and cytoprotective potency

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to determine the capability of newly designed 3-methoxy derivatives of salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazone to influence the oxidative stress processes and to test their in vitro cytotoxicity.

METHODS

We have used chemiluminescent and spectrophotometric model systems containing different types of reactive oxygen species (OH^●, OCl^─ and O₂^─●). The hydrazones effect on the viability of Hep-G2, HEK-293 and SH-SY5Y cell lines was determined via MTT assay.

RESULTS

The comparative analysis of the C₅₀ values of the chemiluminescent investigation demonstrated moderate activity against the hydroxyl radicals (C₅₀ > 50 μmol/L) and remarkable reactivity in the systems containing a superoxide radical and a hypochlorous anion (C₅₀ < 3.7 μmol/L). Further experiments in the spectrophotometric system of UV-induced OH^● generation and consequent 2'-deoxyribose oxidative damage excluded the possibility of quenching effect and proved the direct interaction of the studied compounds with that generated in the system reactive oxygen species (ROS). The encapsulation of the studied derivatives into chitosan-alginate particles led to the protection and stabilization of their antioxidant activity as revealed by a one-month study using the ABTS ^●+ method. The cytotoxic study revealed less pronounced effects against the non-malignant cell line (HEK-293) compared to Hep-G2 and SH-SY-5Y cells.

DISCUSSION

The incorporation of a hydroxyl group in the hydrazide part of a parent molecule which relates to better antioxidant effect in most of the studied systems is associated with higher IC₅₀ values in all cytotoxicity experiments and relates to the cytoprotective effect against N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced excitotoxicity in SH-SY5Y human neuronal cells.

Insights into the structural patterns of the antileishmanial activity of bi- and tricyclic N-heterocycles

The influence of various structural patterns in a series of novel bi- and tricyclic N-heterocycles on the activity against Leishmania major and Leishmania panamensis has been studied and compounds that are active in the low micromolar region have been identified. Both quinolines and tetrahydrooxazinoindoles (TOI) proved to have significant antileishmanial activities, while substituted indoles were inactive. We have also showed that a chloroquine analogue induces Leishmania killing by modulating macrophage activation.

Synthesis, Characterization and Anti-Cancer Activity of Hydrazide Derivatives Incorporating a Quinoline Moiety

Identification of the novel (E)-N′-((2-chloro-7-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)methylene)-3-(phenylthio)propanehydrazide scaffold 18 has led to the development of a new series of biologically active hydrazide compounds. The parent compound 18 and new quinoline derivatives 19–26 were prepared from the corresponding quinoline hydrazones and substituted carboxylic acids using EDC-mediated peptide coupling reactions. Further modification of the parent compound 18 was achieved by replacement of the quinoline moiety with other aromatic systems. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against the SH-SY5Y and Kelly neuroblastoma cell lines, as well as the MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines. Analogues 19 and 22 significantly reduced the cell viability of neuroblastoma cancer cells with micromolar potency and significant selectivity over normal cells. The quinoline hydrazide 22 also induced G₁ cell cycle arrest, as well as upregulation of the p27^kip1 cell cycle regulating protein.

Design, Synthesis and Antibacterial Evaluation of Some New 2-Phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic Acid Derivatives

A series of new 2-phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives was synthesized starting from aniline, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, pyruvic acid followed by Doebner reaction, amidation, reduction, acylation and amination. All of the newly-synthesized compounds were characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and HRMS. The antibacterial activities of these compounds against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), as well as one strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria were evaluated by the agar diffusion method (zone of inhibition) and a broth dilution method (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)), and their structure-activity relationships were obtained and discussed. The results revealed that some compounds displayed good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and Compounds 5a₄ and 5a₇ showed the best inhibition with an MIC value of 64 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and with an MIC value of 128 μg/mL against Escherichia coli, respectively. The results of the MTT assay illustrated the low cytotoxicity of Compound 5a₄.

Synthesis, characterization, DNA interactions, DNA cleavage, radical scavenging activity, antibacterial, anti-proliferative and docking studies of new transition metal complexes

The compound N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1-ethyl-1, 4-dihydro-7-methyl-4-oxo-1, 8 naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazide (LH) and its Cu (II), Co (II) and Zn (II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The absorption spectral titrations and competitive DNA binding studies depicted those complexes of title compound bind to CT-DNA through intercalation. Interestingly [Cu (II)-(L2)] showed relatively high binding constant value (6.61 x 10(5) M(-1)) compared to [Co (II)-(L2)] (4.378× 10(5) M(-1)) and [Zn (II)-(L2)] (3.1x10(5) M(-1)). Ligand and its complexes were also examined for DNA nuclease activity against pBR-322 plasmid DNA, which showed that [Cu (II)-(L2)] had the best hydrolytic cleavage property displaying prominent double-strand DNA cleavage. In addition, antioxidant activities of the ligand and its metal complexes investigated through scavenging effects for DPPH radical in- vitro, indicated their potentiality as good antioxidants. The in vitro anti-bacterial study inferred the better anti-bacterial activity of [Cu (II)-(L2)] and this was also correlated theoretically by employing docking studies wherein [Cu (II)-(L2)] displayed good Gold score and Chem score. Finally the in vitro anti- proliferative activity of studied compounds was tested against HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines. Interestingly [Cu (II)-(L2)] displayed lower IC50 value and lower percentage of viability in both HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines.

Theoretical investigations on molecular structure, vibrational spectra, HOMO, LUMO, NBO analysis and hyperpolarizability calculations of thiophene-2-carbohydrazide

The Fourier-Transform infrared and Fourier-Transform Raman spectra of thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (TCH) was recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-100 cm(-1). Quantum chemical calculations of energies, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers of TCH were carried out by DFT (B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) as basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interaction and charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. UV spectrum was measured in different solvent. The energy and oscillator strength are calculated by Time Dependant Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) results. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies also confirm that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the potential energy distribution (PED) of vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Finally the theoretical FT-IR, FT-Raman, and UV spectra of the title molecule have also been constructed.
