Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2022; 355:e2200109. [PMID: 35674481 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202200109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
A series of novel hybrid compounds between 1,4-benzodioxane and imidazolium salts was designed and prepared. The compounds were evaluated in vitro against a panel of human tumor cell lines (K562, SMMC-7721, and A-549). The structure-activity relationship results demonstrated that the 2-methyl-benzimidazole or 5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole ring and substitution of the imidazolyl-3-position with a 4-phenylphenacyl substituent were critical for promoting cytotoxic activity. Particularly, compound 25 was found to be the most potent compound with IC50 values of 1.06-8.31 μM against the three human tumor cell lines and exhibited higher selectivity to K562 and SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 values 4.5- and 4.7-fold lower than cisplatin. Moreover, compound 25 inhibited cell proliferation by inducing the G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells.

Abstract
Acanthamoeba is a genus of free-living amoebae, pervasively found in the environment. Most of its pathogenic species are the causative agent of sight-threatening Acanthamoeba keratitis and fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. Despite the advancements in the field of chemotherapy, treating Acanthamoeba infections is still challenging due to incomplete knowledge of the complicated pathophysiology. In case of infection, the treatment regimen for the patients is often ineffective due to delayed diagnosis, poor specificity, and side-effects. Besides the resistance of Acanthamoeba cysts to most of the drugs, the recurrence of infection further complicates the recovery. Thus, it is necessary to develop an effective treatment which can eradicate these rare, but serious infections. Based on various computational and in vitro studies, it has been established that the synthetic scaffolds such as heterocyclic compounds may act as potential drug leads for the development of antiamoebic drugs. In this review, we report different classes of synthetic compounds especially heterocyclic compounds which have shown promising results against Acanthamoeba. Moreover, the antiamoebic activities of synthetic compounds with their possible mode of actions against Acanthamoeba, have been summarized and discussed in this review.

Abstract
A series of novel bis-imidazolium salts was synthesized, characterized, and evaluated in vitro against a panel of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Two imidazolium cores were connected with alkyl chains of varying lengths to develop a structure activity relationship (SAR). Increasing the length of the connecting alkyl chain was shown to correlate to an increase in the anti-proliferative activity. The National Cancer Institute's NCI-60 human tumor cell line screen confirmed this trend. The compound containing a decyl linker chain, 10, was chosen for further in vivo toxicity studies with C578BL/6 mice. The compound was well tolerated by the mice and all of the animals survived and gained weight over the course of the study.
