Abstract
We reported the synthesis of novel pyrazole amide derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds are exhibiting in vitro anti-cancer efficacy against MCF-7 and A-549 human cancer cell lines. The compounds, 6m, 6o, and 6p have greater activity against A-549 cell lines with reference to 5-Fluorouracil. Similarly, in vitro, epidermal growth factor receptor results revealed that compounds 6p (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 0.79 ± 0.04 µM) and 6m (IC50 = 0.86 ± 0.06 µM) have shown improved activity in comparison to the standard Erlotinib (IC50 = 0.41 ± 0.03 µM). This article systematically examines the docking studies of lead compounds 6i, 6m, 6o, and 6p, finally found compound 6o showing better binding properties (-10.85 kcal) among all.

Abstract
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have recently been proposed to be more relevant in driving population changes than the continuous increase in average temperatures associated with climate change. The causal processes underpinning MHW effects in sharks are unclear but may be linked to changes in fitness caused by physiological trade-offs that influence the immune response. Considering the scarcity of data about the immune response of sharks under anomalous warming events, the present study analyzed several fitness indices and characterized the immune response (in the blood, epigonal organ, liver, spleen and intestine) of temperate adult small-spotted catsharks (Scyliorhinus canicula) after a 30 day exposure to a category II MHW. The results indicated that adult small-spotted catsharks have developed coping strategies for MHWs. Specifically, among the 35 parameters investigated, only the gonad-to-body ratio (GBR) and plasma glucose concentration showed significant increases. In contrast, gene expression of igm and tumor necrosis factor receptor (tnfr) in blood cells, and tnfr in the epigonal organ, as well as the number of monocytes, all significantly decreased. Although a decline in immune function in small-spotted catsharks was revealed following MHW exposure, energy mobilization restored homeostasis and indicated a shift in energy allocation towards reproduction. Group resilience may be due to the variable tolerance of individuals, the phenotypic plasticity of cellular immunity, thermal imprinting and/or metabolic capacity of the individuals.

Abstract
In this study, quinoid structures, semiquinone radical structures, and electron affinity energies (EAEs) of many polycyclic quinones containing heteroatoms (O, B, and F) or heterocycles (pyrrole, imidazole, and pyrazine) were calculated. Quinones with unstable quinoid structures and stable semiquinone radical structures had high EAEs. The main factors of quinoid structural instability were spatial repulsion and antiaromaticity, and the stability factors of the semiquinone radical structure comprised inductive effects, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, and orbital interactions. Compound 11 had both the antiaromaticity of the quinoid structure and the orbital interactions of the semiquinone radical structure, thus having the highest EAE. The crystal structure of compound 8 was obtained, and it confirmed the reliability of the calculated results of this work. The relationship between electron affinity energy and many factors is revealed. The close relationship between the electronic structure and the spatial structure is revealed. Various interactions such as orbital, electrostatic, and spatial repulsion are exhibited.

Abstract
Anthraquinones are privileged chemical scaffolds that have been used for centuries in various therapeutic applications. The anthraquinone moiety forms the core of various anticancer agents. However, the emergence of drug-resistant cancers warrants the development of new anticancer agents. The research endeavours towards new anthraquinone-based compounds are increasing rapidly in recent years. They are used as a core chemical template to achieve structural modifications, resulting in the development of new anthraquinone-based compounds as promising anticancer agents. Mechanistically, most of the anthraquinone-based compounds inhibit cancer progression by targeting essential cellular proteins. Herein, we review new anthraquinone analogues that have been developed in recent years as anticancer agents. This includes a systematic review of the recent literature (2005-2021) on anthraquinone-based compounds in cell-based models and key target proteins such as kinases, topoisomerases, telomerases, matrix metalloproteinases and G-quadruplexes involved in the viability of cancer cells. In addition to this, the developments in PEG-based delivery of anthraquinones and the toxicity aspects of anthraquinone derivatives are also discussed. The review dispenses a compact background knowledge to understanding anthraquinones for future research on the expansion of anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Immune and targeted therapy are becoming the first-line treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, therapeutic outcomes are limited due to the low efficiency and side effect. Here, it is found that helicenes are able to exhibit an anticancer capability through changing the molecular structure from planar to nonplanar. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity in vitro and cancer inhibition ability of nonplanar helicenes increase with its aromatic rings' number. It is further demonstrated that benzo[4]helicenium shows the specific killing efficiency against the RCC cancer as compared to normal kidney cells. This is majorly originated from a more selective damage of benzo[4]helicenium for mitochondria and DNA in RCC cancer cells, not the normal kidney. The selective killing ability of benzo[4]helicenium makes it have potential to be used as a targeted drug for the precise treatment of RCC.

An Integrated Strategy for Rapid Hemostasis during Tumor Resection and Prevention of Postoperative Tumor Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Antibacterial Shape Memory Cryogel. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2021; 17:e2101356.

Abstract
The inevitable bleeding during tumor resection greatly increases the risk of tumor recurrence caused by metastasis of cancer cells with blood, and hemostasis and prevention of post-operation tumor recurrence is still a challenge. However, a biomaterials approach for rapid hemostasis during tumor resection and simultaneous prevention of tumor recurrence is rarely reported. Here, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanoparticle-enhanced multinetwork cryogels are proposed which provide an integrated treatment regimen for rapid hemostasis through intraoperative blood trigger shape recovery and enhanced coagulation, and prevention of postoperative cancer recurrence via sonodynamic anticancer in a hepatocellular carcinoma model. A series of antibacterial shape memory multifunctional cryogels are synthesized based on glycidyl methacrylate-functionalized quaternized chitosan (QCSG), dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-DA), and hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)-loaded dopamine-modified ZIF-8 (ZDH). Blood loss in different bleeding models confirms good hemostasis of ZIF-8 loading cryogels. Besides, in vitro tests confirm that QCSG/HA-DA/ZDH (QH/ZDH) cryogels significantly killed cancer cells by generating reactive oxygen species under ultrasound. Finally, significantly reduced tumor recurrence after the resection of ectopic hepatocellular carcinoma further confirms the good effect of QH/ZDH cryogels in preventing recurrence by a coordinated strategy of intraoperative hemostasis and postoperative sonodynamic therapy by pH-responsive HMME release, showing great potential in clinical application.

Abstract
Anticancer is a high priority research area for scientists as cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. It is pertinent to mention here that conventional anticancer drugs such as methotrexate, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, etc. are not much efficient for the treatment of different types of cancer; also these suffer from serious side effects leading to therapy failure. A large variety of cancerrelated receptors such as carbonic anhydrase, tyrosine kinase, topoisomerase, protein kinase, histone deacetylase, etc. have been identified which can be targeted by anticancer drugs. Heterocycles like oxadiazole, thiazole, thiadiazole, indole, pyridine, pyrimidine, benzimidazole, etc. play a pivotal role in modern medicinal chemistry because they have a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities including prominent anticancer activity. Therefore, it was considered significant to explore heterocyclic compounds reported in recent most literature which can bind effectively with the cancer-related receptors. This will not only provide a targeted approach to deal with cancer but also the safety profile of the drugs can be further improved. The information provided in this manuscript may be found useful for the design and development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed each year, and more than half of patients have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The standard of care for patients with high-grade NMIBC is Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Unfortunately, multiple BCG shortages have limited access to this treatment. Available alternatives using intravesical administration of chemotherapy have some efficacy, but lack prospective validation and long-term outcomes. Development of novel intravesical therapies may provide more active alternatives to BCG for patients with high-grade NMIBC. OBJECTIVE: To develop an optimal imidazolium salt for the intravesical treatment of NMIBC and determine preliminary in vitro activity of anthraquinone-substituted imidazolium salts. METHODS: The development of the anthraquinone-substituted imidazolium salts was undertaken in an attempt to increase the potency of this class of compounds by incorporating the quinone functional group observed in the chemotherapeutics doxorubicin, valrubicin, and mitomycin. All compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, these imidazolium salts were tested for in vitro cytotoxicity by the Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) on the NCI-60 human tumor cell line screening. Additional in vitro testing was performed against diverse bladder cancer cell lines (RT112, TCCSUP, J82, and UMUC13) using CellTiter-Glo® assays and colony-forming assays. RESULTS: The NCI-60 cell line screening indicated that compound 7 had the highest activity and was concluded to be the optimal compound for further study. Using CellTiter-Glo® assays on bladder cancer cell lines, 50% growth inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were determined to range from 32–50μM after an exposure of 1 h, for compound 7. Further evaluation of the compound by colony-forming assays showed the complete inhibition of growth at 10 days post a 100μM dose of compound 7 for 1 h. CONCLUSIONS: The most active lipophilic anthraquinone imidazolium salt, compound 7, could be a viable treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer as it exhibits a cell-killing effect at a 1 h time period and completely inhibits cancer regrowth in colony-forming assays.

Abstract
Rheum ribes L. (Rhubarb) is one of the most important edible medicinal plants in the Eastern Anatolia region and is called "Işkın" by local people. Resveratrol and 6-O-methylalaternin were isolated from the Rhubarb for the first time in addition to well-known secondary metabolites including emodin, aloe-emodin, β-sitosterol and rutin. The new semi-synthetic anthraquinone derivatives with the NαFmoc-l-Lys and ethynyl group were synthesized from the isolated anthraquinones emodin and aloe-emodin of Rhubarb to increase the bioactivities. Aloe-emodin derivative with NαFmoc-l-Lys shows the highest inhibition values by 94.11 ± 0.12 and 82.38 ± 0.00% against HT-29 and HeLa cell lines, respectively, at 25 µg/mL. Further, modification of the aloe-emodin with both the ethynyl and the NαFmoc-l-Lys groups showed an antioxidant activity-enhancing effect. From molecular docking studies, the relative binding energies of the emodin and aloe-emodin derivatives to human serum albumin ranged from -7.30 and -10.62 kcal/mol.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 259:112948. [PMID: 32417427 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Revised: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Chronic inflammation has an important role in the development of cancers. Hypericum sampsonii, known as "Yuanbao Cao", is mainly distributed in the southwest of China. As a folk medicinal plant, "Yuanbao Cao" is traditionally used for treatment of various inflammation-related diseases including swelling, burns, arthritis, and dermatitis, etc. The plant is a promising anticancer herb. However, there is no research on the antitumor potential of this plant from the view of cancer-related inflammation strategy. AIM OF THE STUDY To explore the H. sampsonii in relation to cancer-related chemical constituents with anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity in cancer-related inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The chemical constituents of H. sampsonii were isolated by repeated chromatography techniques, and their structures were identified mainly by spectroscopic methods and compared to published data. The chemical profile of the herb was analyzed using HPLC. The cytotoxicities of compounds against five cancer cell lines: human melanoma cell (A375), human breast cancer cell (MDA-MB-231), human gastric cancer cell (SGC-7901), human colon cancer cell (SiHa), and human bone marrow neuroblastoma cell (SHSY-5Y), were tested using MTT assay; their anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated by inhibition on NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7, THP-1 and BV-2 microglial cells. RESULTS Twenty-five compounds, including four phenols (1-4), two anthraquinonoids (5 and 6), six xanthones (7-12), one benzophenone (13), one phloroglucinol (14), nine flavonoids (15-23), one sterol (24) and one alkaloid (25), were isolated from the EtOH extract of H. sampsonii. Of them, compounds 3, 4, 6, 7, 10-14, 17, 19, 22 and 23 were reported in H. sampsonii for the first time. HPLC analysis showed that flavonoids were the main constituents in the herb. MTT assay revealed that compounds 1, 2, 5-14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 25 had selective cytotoxic activities (IC50: 7.52-158.90 μM) against tested cancer cells, in which compound 5, 6, 13 and 14 displayed high activities against A375, MDA-MB-231, SiHa and SHSY-5Y. In the screening experiment of anti-inflammatory activity, most compounds (1-2, 5-23) showed considerable high anti-inflammatory activities (IC50: 10.59-42.75 μM), in which compounds 5, 6, 13, 14, and 15 exhibited high anti-inflammatory activities in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7, THP-1 and BV-2 microglial cells. CONCLUSIONS Compounds 3, 4, 6, 7, 10-14, 17, 19, 22 and 23 were isolated for the first time from H. sampsonii. Compound 5, 6, 13 and 14 displayed high cytotoxic activities against the tested cancer cell lines. Compounds (1-2, 5-23) showed anti-inflammatory activities, of them, compounds 5, 6, 13, 14 and 15 exhibited the high activity. From the view of cancer-related inflammation point, not only the compounds with high cytotoxicity, but those compounds with anti-inflammatory activities, especially the flavonoids, contribute to the antitumor potential of H. sampsonii. The results and viewpoint of present study provide a different insight to better understand the antitumor potential of H. sampsonii, and may also promote the reasonable usage of this folk medical herb.

Amides of pyrrole- and thiophene-fused anthraquinone derivatives: A role of the heterocyclic core in antitumor properties. Eur J Med Chem 2020; 199:112294. [PMID: 32428792 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2020.112294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Heteroarene-fused anthraquinone derivatives represent a class of perspective anticancer drug candidates capable of targeting multiple vital processes including drug resistance. Taking advantage of previously demonstrated potential of amide derivatives of heteroarene-fused anthraquinones, we herein dissected the role of the heterocyclic core in antitumor properties. A new series of naphtho[2,3-f]indole-3- and anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-3-carboxamides was synthesized via coupling the respective acids with cyclic diamines. New compounds demonstrated a submicromolar antiproliferative potency close to doxorubicin (Dox) against five tumor cell lines of various tissue origin. In contrast to Dox, the new compounds were similarly cytotoxic for HCT116 colon carcinoma cells (wild type p53) and their isogenic p53 knockout counterparts. Modification of the heterocyclic core changed the targeting properties: the best-in-series naphtho[2,3-f]indole-3-carboxamide 8 formed more affine complexes with DNA duplex than furan and thiophene analogs, a property that can be translated into a stronger inhibition of topoisomerase 1 mediated DNA unwinding. At tolerable doses the water soluble derivative 8 significantly inhibited tumor growth (up to 79%) and increased the lifespan (153%) of mice bearing P388 lymphoma transplants. Together with better solubility for parenteral administration and well tolerance by animals of the indole derivative 8 indicates prospects for further search of new antitumor drug candidates among the heteroarene-fused anthraquinones.

Abstract
Anthraquinones exhibit a unique anticancer activity. Since their discovery, medicinal chemists have made several structural modifications, resulting in the design and synthesis of a large number of novel anthraquinone compounds with different biological activities. In general, anthraquinone compounds have been considered to have anticancer activity mainly through DNA damage, cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, recent studies have shown that novel anthraquinone compounds may also inhibit cancer through paraptosis, autophagy, radiosensitising, overcoming chemoresistance and other methods. This Review article provides an overview of novel anthraquinone compounds that have been developed as anticancer agents in recent years and focuses on their anticancer mechanism.

Abstract
Twelve azole derivatives of emodin were designed to possess anti-inflammatory activity and synthesized via a two-step sequence composed of the Williamson ether reaction and N-alkylation. The anti-inflammatory properties of these compounds were evaluated in RAW264.7 cells by measuring lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production. The introduction of imidazole and four carbons into the scaffold of emodin led to the discovery of the potent compound 7e, which showed the best inhibition of NO production among twelve analogs. In our experiential setting, the IC50 of compound 7e in NO production is 1.35 µM, which is lower than that of indomethacin. Mechanically, compound 7e effectively inhibited the protein and messenger RNA expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible NO synthase, as well as that of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6, and the cytokines interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Compound 7e exerted inhibitory effects on the nuclear factor κB pathway by reducing the LPS-induced phosphorylation of the inhibitor of NF-κB and the nuclear translation of p-p65. These results suggest the potential of compound 7e in improving inflammatory conditions and diseases.

Abstract
A novel ligand BOPIP (BOPIP = {2-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline}) and its mononuclear Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes [Ru(phen)2 BOPIP]2+(1) (phen = 1,10-Phenanthrolene), [Ru(bpy)2 BOPIP]2+(2) (bpy = 2,2' bipyridyl), [Ru(dmb)2 BOPIP]2+(3) (dmb = 4, 4' -dimethyl 2, 2' -bipyridine), [Ru(Hdpa)2 BOPIP]2+(4) (Hdpa = 2,2'dipyridylamine) have been synthesized successfully and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-vis, IR, 1H, 13 C-NMR, and ESI-MS Spectroscopy. The interaction of these complexes with CT-DNA was studied using absorption, emission techniques, viscosity measurements and molecular docking studies. The docking study also supports the binding ability of complexes obtained through the absorption and emission techniques. These studies reveal that the Four Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes bind to DNA predominantly by intercalation. The Antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of these complexes are also reported.

Abstract
Emodin is a cell arrest and apoptosis-inducing compound that is widely distributed in different plants (rhubarb, aloe), lichens and terrestrial fungi, and also isolated from marine-derived fungi and marine sponge-associated fungi. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel series of emodin derivatives by binding emodin to an amino acid using linkers of varying lengths and composition, and evaluated their anti-proliferative activities using HepG2 cells (human hepatic carcinoma), MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer) and human normal liver L02 cells. Most of these derivatives showed moderate to potent anti-proliferative activities. Notably, compound 7a exhibited potent anti-proliferative activity against HepG2 cells with the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 4.95 µM, which was enhanced 8.8-fold compared to the parent compound emodin (IC50 = 43.87 µM), and it also exhibited better selective anti-proliferative activity and specificity than emodin. Moreover, further experiments demonstrated that compound 7a displayed a significant efficacy of inducing apoptosis through mitochondrial pathway via release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and subsequent activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, inducing cell arrest at G0/G1 phase, as well as suppression of cell migration of tumor cells. The preliminary results suggested that compound 7a could be a promising lead compound for the discovery of novel anti-tumor drugs and has the potential for further investigations as an anti-cancer drug.

Abstract
In drug-delivery systems containing nano-drug structures, targeting the tumorous tissue by anthraquinone molecules with high biological activity, and reaching and destroying tumors by their tumor-killing effect reveals remarkable results for the treatment of tumors. The various biological activities of anthraquinones and their derivatives depend on molecular conformation; hence, their intra-cell interaction mechanisms including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), enzymes, and hormones. Computer-based drug design plays an important role in the design of drugs and the determination of goals for them. Molecular docking has been widely used in structure-based drug design. The effects of anthraquinone analogues in tumor cells as a result of their interaction with DNA strand has increased the number of studies done on them, and they have been shown to have a wide range of applications in chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, materials, and especially in the field of biomolecules.

Abstract
Computational investigations were performed for 1,3,7-trimethylpurine-2,6-dione, 3,7-dimethylpurine-2,6-dione, their Ru(II) and Os(III) complexes. B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)(LANL2DZ) level was used in numerical calculations. Geometric parameters, IR spectrum, 1H-, 13C and 15N NMR spectrum were examined in detail. Additionally, contour diagram of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps, MEP contour and some quantum chemical descriptors were used in the determination of reactivity rankings and active sites. The electron density on the surface was similar to each other in studied complexes. Quantum chemical descriptors were investigated and the anticancer activity of complexes were more than cisplatin and their ligands. Additionally, molecular docking calculations were performed in water between related complexes and a protein (ID: 3WZE). The most interact complex was found as Os complex. The interaction energy was calculated as 342.9kJ/mol.
