This review focuses on the latest research advances in the biological profile of pyrazole-thiazole hybrids reported from 2015 to the present, providing medicinal researchers with a comprehensive platform to rationally design and develop more promising pyrazole-thiazole hybrids.

2-amino thiazole derivatives as inhibitors of some metabolic enzymes: An In Vitro and In Silico study

The thiazole derivatives are desirable compounds in the evaluation of their biological activities such as antiprotozoal antibacterial, antifungal, antituberculosis. Considering the medical application potential of 2-amino thiazole compounds, we aimed to determine the effects of 2-amino thiazole derivatives on the activities of carbonic anhydrase I-II isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Among the chemicals we used in our study, 2-Amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazole compound exhibited the best inhibition against hCA I with K_i of 0.008±0.001 μM. The 2-Amino-4-(4-bromophenyl)thiazole compound exhibited the best inhibition against hCA II, AChE and BChE with K_i of 0.124±0.017 μM, 0.129±0.030 μM and 0.083±0.041 μM, respectively. Molecular docking analysis showed that compound 2-Amino-4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)thiazole had the highest inhibitory potency against hCA I, hCA II, AChE, BChE with the estimated binding energy of -6.75 , -7.61, -7.86, -7.96 kcal/mol, respectively.

Synthesis, characterization, and theoretical investigation of 4-chloro-6(phenylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)asmino-4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)thiazol-5-yl-diazenyl)phenyl as potential SARS-CoV-2 agent

The synthesis of 4-chloro-6(phenylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino-4-(2,4 dichlorophenyl)thiazol-5-yl-diazenyl)phenyl is reported in this work with a detailed structural and molecular docking study on two SARS-COV-2 proteins: 3TNT and 6LU7. The studied compound has been synthesized by the condensation of cyanuric chloride with aniline and characterized with various spectroscopic techniques. The experimentally obtained spectroscopic data has been compared with theoretical calculated results achieved using high-level density functional theory (DFT) method. Stability, nature of bonding, and reactivity of the studied compound was evaluated at DFT/B3LYP/6-31 + (d) level of theory. Hyper-conjugative interaction persisting within the molecules which accounts for the bio-activity of the compound was evaluated from natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) properties of the experimentally synthesized compound was studied to evaluate the pharmacological as well as in silico molecular docking against SARS-CoV-2 receptors. The molecular docking result revealed that the investigated compound exhibited binding affinity of −9.3 and −8.8 for protein 3TNT and 6LU7 respectively. In conclusion, protein 3TNT with the best binding affinity for the ligand is the most suitable for treatment of SARS-CoV-2.

An Update on the synthesis and pharmacological properties of pyrazoles obtained from Chalcone

Abstract:

A review concerning the synthesis and pharmacological properties of pyrazoles obtained from Chalcone described in the literature over the last 5 years (2016-2020) was presented and discussed. Among the synthetic approaches for pyrazoles described so far, the cyclization and acetylation method of α,β-unsaturated chalcones and substituted hydrazine was selected and analyzed. 105 pyrazole derivatives (3-107) were evaluated as well as their pharmacological activities, namely, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antimycobacterial, antiplasmodial, Alzheimer's disease, enzymes inhibition (like acetylcholinesterase, carbonic anhydrase, and malonyl CoA decarboxylase), anticonvulsant, among others. Pyrazolic compounds are widely used in the new drugs design with a wide spectrum of pharmacological approaches, therefore, it is relevant to research the synthetic methods and therapeutic properties of different pyrazole derivatives.

Synthesis and AChE Inhibitory Activity of Novel Thiazolylhydrazone Derivatives

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common of the degenerative brain diseases and is described together with the impairment of cognitive function. Patients with AD lose the capability to code new memories, and life conditions are extremely difficult. The development of new drugs in this area continues at a great pace. A novel series of thiazole-piperazine hybrids, aimed against Alzheimer’s disease (AD), have been synthesized. The structure identification of synthesized compounds was elucidated by ¹HNMR, ¹³C-NMR, and LCMSMS spectroscopic methods. The inhibitory potential of the synthesized compounds on cholinesterase enzymes was investigated. The compounds 3a, 3c and 3i showed significant inhibitory activity on the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. On the other hand, none of the compounds showed significant inhibitory activity on the butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzyme. In addition to enzyme inhibition studies, enzyme kinetic studies were performed to observe the effects of the most active inhibitor compounds on the substrate–enzyme relationship. In addition to in vitro tests, docking studies also indicated that compound 3c potentially acts as a dual binding site AChE inhibitor.
