Abstract
This study presents a novel photoredox-enabled enantioconvergent catalytic strategy used to construct chiral 2H-1,3-benzoxazines via an unprecedented oxa-6π electrocyclization utilizing racemic α-substituted glycinates as substrates. The approach leverages a cobalt-based chiral Lewis acid catalyst, which promotes the transformation under thermal or photoredox conditions. While the thermal reaction selectively converts only the (S)-configured glycinates into enantioenriched 2H-1,3-benzoxazines (up to 96:4 e.r.), the addition of 0.5 mol % of a commercially available iridium photocatalyst under visible light irradiation transforms the reaction into an enantioconvergent process. Detailed mechanistic and time course studies of optically pure α-deuterated substrates revealed the presence of an enantiospecific kinetic isotope effect, which helped to clarify the role of both the photo- and chiral Lewis acid catalyst in the reaction sequence. In this dual catalytic system, the photocatalyst promotes a dynamic interconversion between the substrate enantiomers─a process not accessible via ground-state chemistry─while the chiral Lewis acid selectively transforms only the (S)-configured substrates. Further mechanistic evidence for the proposed mechanism is provided by linear free energy relationship analysis, which suggests that the stereodetermining step involves a 6π electrocyclization under both thermal and photoredox conditions.

Exploring a new family of designer copper(II) complexes of anthracene-appended polyfunctional organic assembly displaying potential anticancer activity via cytochrome c mediated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. J Inorg Biochem 2023; 243:112182. [PMID: 36933342 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2023.112182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
The present article describes the systematic study on design and synthesis, physicochemical properties and spectroscopic features, and potential anticancer activities of a family of novel copper(II)-based designer metal complexes [Cu2(acdp)(μ-Cl)(H2O)2] (1), [Cu2(acdp)(μ-NO3)(H2O)2] (2) and [Cu2(acdp)(μ-O2CCF3)(H2O)2] (3) of anthracene-appended polyfunctional organic assembly, H3acdp (H3acdp = N,N'-bis[anthracene-2-ylmethyl]-N,N'-bis[carboxymethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol). Synthesis of 1-3 was accomplished under facile experimental conditions, preserving their overall integrity in solution. The incorporation of polycyclic anthracene skeleton within the backbone of organic assembly increases lipophilicity of resulting complexes, thereby dictating the degree of cellular uptake with improved biological activity. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, FTIR, UV-Vis absorption/fluorescence emission titration spectroscopy, PXRD and TGA/DTA studies, including DFT calculations. The cellular cytotoxicity of 1-3 when studied in HepG2 cancer cell line showed substantial cytotoxic effects, whereas no such cytotoxicity was observed when exposed to normal L6 skeletal muscle cell line. Thereafter, the signaling factors involved in the process of cytotoxicity in HepG2 cancer cells were investigated. Alteration of cytochrome c and Bcl-2 protein expression levels along with modulation of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in the presence of 1-3, strongly suggested the possibility of activating mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway involved in halting the cancer cell propagation. However, when a comparative assessment on their bio-efficacies was made, 1 showed higher cytotoxicity, nuclear condensation, DNA binding and damage, ROS generation and lower rate of cell proliferation compared to 2 and 3 in HepG2 cell line, indicating that the anticancer activity of 1 is significantly higher than that of 2 and 3.

Abstract
Abstract:
A facile methodology has been developed to build carbon nitrogen double bond from ketones
promoted by the hydroxyl groups in β-phenol hydroxy ketone. It is noteworthy that the halogenated
β-phenol hydroxy ketone can chemoselectively react with the amine to afford halogenated phenol
imine. It is suitable for certain natural products and also suitable for water-based heteroamines. The
method possesses low toxicity and is widely applicable. This strategy is usually used to obtain moderate
to good yields of aromatic amine Schiff base.

Abstract
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells via malignant cell division and rapid DNA replication. While DNA damaging molecules can cause cancer, their role as anticancer drugs are very significant. For this purpose, the novel series of paraben substituted spermine bridged(dispirobino) cyclotriphosphazene compounds 2-6 were synthesized for the first time, and their structures were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The solid-state structures and geometries of compounds 2-6 were determined using single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. In addition, it was confirmed by TGA that all compounds 1-6 showed high thermal stability. Two methods were used in order to investigate DNA interaction properties of the targeted molecules. While biosensor-based screening test that measures DNA hybridization efficiency on a biochip surface, the agarose gel electrophoresis method examines the effect of compounds on plasmid DNA structure. The results collected from the automated biosensor device and agarose gel electrophoresis have indicated that compounds 1, 5, and 6 showed higher DNA damage than the compounds 2-4. According to the biosensor results, compounds 1, 5, and 6 showed 85%, 69%, and 77% activity, respectively.

Downregulation of peripheral PTGS2/COX-2 in response to valproate treatment in patients with epilepsy. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2546.

Abstract
Antiepileptic drug therapy has significant inter-patient variability in response towards it. The current study aims to understand this variability at the molecular level using microarray-based analysis of peripheral blood gene expression profiles of patients receiving valproate (VA) monotherapy. Only 10 unique genes were found to be differentially expressed in VA responders (n = 15) and 6 genes in the non-responders (n = 8) (fold-change >2, p < 0.05). PTGS2 which encodes cyclooxygenase-2, COX-2, showed downregulation in the responders compared to the non-responders. PTGS2/COX-2 mRNA profiles in the two groups corresponded to their plasma profiles of the COX-2 product, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Since COX-2 is believed to regulate P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a multidrug efflux transporter over-expressed at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in drug-resistant epilepsy, the pathway connecting COX-2 and P-gp was further explored in vitro. Investigation of the effect of VA upon the brain endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3) in hyperexcitatory conditions confirmed suppression of COX-2-dependent P-gp upregulation by VA. Our findings suggest that COX-2 downregulation by VA may suppress seizure-mediated P-gp upregulation at the BBB leading to enhanced drug delivery to the brain in the responders. Our work provides insight into the association of peripheral PTGS2/COX-2 expression with VA efficacy and the role of COX-2 as a potential therapeutic target for developing efficacious antiepileptic treatment.

Abstract
Cancer and malaria remain relevant pathologies in modern medicinal chemistry endeavours. This is compounded by the threat of development of resistance to existing clinical drugs in use as first-line option for treatment of these diseases. To counter this threat, strategies such as drug repurposing and hybridization are constantly adapted in contemporary drug discovery for the expansion of the drug arsenal and generation of novel chemotypes with potential to avert or delay resistance. In the present study, a polymer precursor scaffold, 1,3-benzoxazine, has been repurposed by incorporation of an organometallic ferrocene unit to produce a novel class of compounds showing in vitro biological activity against breast cancer, malaria and trypanosomiasis. The resultant ferrocenyl 1,3-benzoxazine compounds displayed high potency and selectivity against the investigated diseases, with IC50 values in the low and sub-micromolar range against both chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and resistant (Dd2) strains of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. On the other hand, antitrypanosomal (Trypanosoma brucei brucei) potencies were observed between 0.15 and 38.6 μM. The majority of the compounds were not active against breast cancer cells (HCC70), however, for the toxic compounds, IC50 values ranged from 11.0 to 30.5 μM. Preliminary structure-activity relationships revealed the basic oxazine sub-ring and lipophilic benzene substituents to be conducive for biological efficacy of the ferrocenyl 1,3-benzoxazines reported in the study. DNA interaction studies performed on the most promising compound 4c suggested that DNA damage may be one possible mode of action of this class of compounds.

Abstract
Morpholine, a six-membered heterocycle containing one nitrogen and one oxygen atom, is a moiety of great significance. It forms an important intermediate in many industrial and organic syntheses. Morpholine containing drugs are of high therapeutic value. Its wide array of pharmacological activity includes anti-diabetic, anti-emetic, growth stimulant, anti-depressant, bronchodilator and anticancer. Multi-drug resistance in cancer cases have emerged in the last few years and have led to the failure of many chemotherapeutic drugs. Newer treatment methods and drugs are being developed to overcome this problem. Target based drug discovery is an effective method to develop novel anticancer drugs. To develop newer drugs, previously reported work needs to be studied. Keeping this in mind, last five year's literature on morpholine used as anticancer agents has been reviewed and summarized in the paper herein.

Abstract
ABC transporters have a significant role in drug disposition and response and various studies have implicated their involvement in epilepsy pharmacoresistance. Since genetic studies till now are inconclusive, we thought of investigating the role of xenobiotics as transcriptional modulators of ABC transporters. Here, we investigated the effect of six antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) viz. phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproate, lamotrigine, topiramate and levetiracetam, on the expression and function of ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2 and ABCG2 in Caco2 and HepG2 cell lines through real time PCR, western blot and functional activity assays. Further, the interaction of AEDs with maximally induced ABCC2 was studied. Carbamazepine caused a significant induction in expression of ABCB1 and ABCC2 in HepG2 and Caco2 cells, both at the transcript and protein level, together with increased functional activity. Valproate caused a significant increase in the expression and functional activity of ABCB1 in HepG2 only. No significant effect of phenytoin, lamotrigine, topiramate and levetiracetam on the transporters under study was observed in either of the cell lines. We demonstrated the interaction of carbamazepine and valproate with ABCC2 with ATPase and 5,6-carboxyfluorescein inhibition assays. Thus, altered functionality of ABCB1 and ABCC2 can affect the disposition and bioavailability of administered drugs, interfering with AED therapy.

Abstract
A series of ferrocene and (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes attached to the naturally occurring anticancer naphthoquinones plumbagin and juglone was tested for efficacy against various cancer cell lines and for alterations in the mode of action. The plumbagin ferrocene and (p-cymene)Ru(II) conjugates 1c and 2a overcame the multi-drug drug resistance of KB-V1/Vbl cervix carcinoma cells and showed IC50 (72 h) values around 1 μM in growth inhibition assays using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). They were further investigated for their influence on the cell cycle of KB-V1/Vbl and HCT-116 colon carcinoma cells, on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the latter cell line, for their substrate character for the P-glycoprotein drug eflux pump via the calcein-AM efflux assays, and for DNA affinity by the electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The derivatives 1c and 2a increased the number of dead cancer cells (sub-G0/G1 fraction) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ROS levels were significantly increased upon treatment with 1c and 2a. These compounds also showed a greater affinity to linear DNA than plumbagin. While plumbagin did not affect calcein-AM transport by P-glycoprotein the derivatives 1c and 2a exhibited a 50% or 80% inhibition of the P-glycoprotein-mediated calcein-AM efflux relative to the clinically established sensitizer verapamil.
