Fedorowicz J, Sączewski J. Advances in the Synthesis of Biologically Active Quaternary Ammonium Compounds. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4649. [PMID: 38731869 PMCID: PMC11083083 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the design and synthesis of biologically active quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). The covered scope extends beyond commonly reviewed antimicrobial derivatives to include synthetic agents with antifungal, anticancer, and antiviral properties. Additionally, this review highlights examples of quaternary ammonium compounds exhibiting activity against protozoa and herbicidal effects, as well as analgesic and anesthetic derivatives. The article also embraces the quaternary-ammonium-containing cholinesterase inhibitors and muscle relaxants. QACs, marked by their inherent permanent charge, also find widespread usage across diverse domains such as fabric softeners, hair conditioners, detergents, and disinfectants. The effectiveness of QACs hinges greatly on finding the right equilibrium between hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. The ideal length of the alkyl chain varies according to the unique structure of each QAC and its biological settings. It is expected that this review will provide comprehensive data for medicinal and industrial chemists to design and develop novel QAC-based products.

Abstract
Natural products have been a valuable source of efficient and low-risk pesticides. In this work, a series of novel sesamolin derivatives A0-A31 and B0-B4 were designed and synthesized via structural simplification of furofuran lignan phrymarolin II, and their antiviral and antibacterial activities were systematically evaluated. The bioassay results showed that compound A24 displayed remarkable inactivation activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) with an EC50 value of 130.4 μg/mL, which was superior to that of commercial ningnanmycin (EC50 = 202.0 μg/mL). The antiviral mode of action assays suggested that compound A24 may obstruct self-assembly by binding to TMV coat protein (CP), thus resisting the TMV infection. In addition, compound A25 possessed prominent antibacterial activities, especially against Ralstonia solanacearum with an EC50 value of 43.8 μg/mL, which is better than those of commercial bismerthiazol and thiodiazole copper. This research lays a solid foundation for the utilization of furofuran lignans in crop protection.

Abstract
A variety of myricetin derivatives containing thioether quinoline moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures of title compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR, and HRMS. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out with B4. Antiviral activity indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited remarkable anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) activity. In particular, compound B6 possessed significant activity. The half maximal effective concentration (EC50) value of the curative activity of compound B6 was 169.0 μg/mL, which was superior to the control agent ningnanmycin (227.2 μg/mL). Meanwhile, the EC50 value of the protective activity of compound B6 was 86.5 μg/mL, which was better than ningnanmycin (179.2 μg/mL). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) indicated that compound B6 had a strong binding capability to the tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP) with a dissociation constant (Kd) value of 0.013 μmol/L, which was superior to that of myricitrin (61.447 μmol/L) and ningnanmycin (3.215 μmol/L). And the molecular docking studies were consistent with the experimental results. Therefore, these novel myricetin derivatives containing thioether quinoline moiety could become potential alternative templates for novel antiviral agents.

Abstract
On the basis of the structure of nicotlactone A (L1), a series of novel α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone derivatives B1-B43 were designed and synthesized by structure simplification and active fragment replacement strategies, and their antiviral and antifungal activities were evaluated. The bioassay studies indicated that many target compounds possessed good to excellent antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and some of these compounds exhibited specific antifungal activities against Valsa mali and Fusarium graminearum. Compound B32 exhibited the best anti-TMV activity (inactivation effect, 88.9%; protection effect, 65.8%; curative effect, 52.8%) in vivo at 500 mg/L, which is significantly higher than that of commercial virucides ribavirin and ningnanmycin. The inhibition effect of compound B32 was also visualized by the inoculation test using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled TMV. The preliminary antiviral mechanism of compound B32 was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that compound B32 could destroy the integrity of virus particles. Then, molecular docking and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) analysis further demonstrated that compound B32 exhibited a strong binding affinity to the TMV coat protein with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 3.06 μM, superior to ribavirin. Thus, we deduced that compound B32 may interfere with the self-assembly of TMV particles by binding TMV coat protein (CP). In addition, compound B28 showed good in vitro activity against F. graminearum with an inhibition rate of 90.9% at 50 mg/L, which was greater than that of fluxapyroxad (59.1%) but lower than that of the commercial fungicide carbendazim (96.8%). The present study provides support for the application of these α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone derivatives as novel antiviral and antifungal agents in crop protection.

Abstract
Plant virus diseases, also known as “plant cancers”, cause serious harm to the agriculture of the world and huge economic losses every year. Antiviral agents are one of the most effective ways to control plant virus diseases. Ningnanmycin is currently the most successful anti-plant virus agent, but its field control effect is not ideal due to its instability. In recent years, great progress has been made in the research and development of antiviral agents, the mainstream research direction is to obtain antiviral agents or lead compounds based on structural modification of natural products. However, no antiviral agent has been able to completely inhibit plant viruses. Therefore, the development of highly effective antiviral agents still faces enormous challenges. Therefore, we reviewed the recent research progress of anti-plant virus agents based on natural products in the past decade, and discussed their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and mechanism of action. It is hoped that this review can provide new inspiration for the discovery and mechanism of action of novel antiviral agents.

Abstract
Phytochemistry investigations on Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, a Simaroubaceae plant that is recognized as a traditional herbal medicine, have afforded various natural products, among which C20 quassinoid is the most attractive for their significant and diverse pharmacological and biological activities. Our continuous study has led to the isolation of two novel quassinoid glycosides, named chuglycosides J and K, together with fourteen known lignans from the samara of A. altissima. The new structures were elucidated based on comprehensive spectra data analysis. All of the compounds were evaluated for their anti-tobacco mosaic virus activity, among which chuglycosides J and K exhibited inhibitory effects against the virus multiplication with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 56.21 ± 1.86 and 137.74 ± 3.57 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Naturally occurring phenanthroindolizidine and phenanthroquinolizidine alkaloids (PIAs and PQAs) are two small groups of herbal metabolites sharing a similar pentacyclic structure with a highly oxygenated phenanthrene moiety fused with a saturated or an unsaturated N-heterocycle (indolizidine/quinolizidine moieties). Natural PIAs and PQAs only could be obtained from finite plant families (such as Asclepiadaceae, Lauraceae and Urticaceae families, etc.). Up to date, more than one hundred natural PIAs, while only nine natural PQAs had been described. PIA and PQA analogues have been applied to the development of potent anticancer agents all along because of their excellent cytotoxic activity. However, in the last two decades, other great biological properties, such as anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities were revealed successively by different pharmacological assays. Especially because of their potent antiviral activity against coronavirus (TGEV, SARS CoV and MHV) and tobacco mosaic virus, PIA and PQA analogues have attracted much pharmaceutical attention again, some of them have been used to present interesting targets for total or semi synthesis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) study for the development of antiviral agents. In this review, natural PIA and PQA analogues obtained in the last two decades with their herbal origins, key spectroscopic characteristics for structural identification, biological activity with possible SARs and application prospects were systematically summarized. We hope this paper can stimulate further investigations on PIA and PQA analogues as an important source for potential drug discovery.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapies or antitumor agents mainly remain the backbone of current treatment based on killing the rapidly dividing cancer cell such as tylophora alkaloids and their analogues which have also demonstrated anticancer potential through diverse biological pathways including regulation of the immune system. The introduction of durable clinically effective monoclonal antibodies, however, unmasked a new era of cancer immunotherapies. Therefore, the understanding of cancer pathogenesis will provide new possible treatment options, including cancer immunotherapy and targeted agents. Combining cytotoxic agents and immunotherapies may offer several unique advantages that are complementary to and potentially synergistic with biologic modalities. Herein, we highlight the dynamic mechanism of action of immune modulation in cancer and the immunological aspects of the orally active antitumor agents tylophora alkaloids and their analogues. We also suggest that future cancer treatments will rely on the development of combining tumor-targeted agents and biologic immunotherapies.

[PMID: 31301507 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.06.520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Revised: 06/24/2019] [Accepted: 06/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Bugs, such as microorganisms and insects, are present in the environment and sometimes can be health-hazardous if the living environment is not maintained following proper hygienic regulations. In the present scenario of increasing public awareness, environmental consciousness, and growing demand for easy-care, and disinfected textiles, the manufacturing of protective and easy-to-care textiles has become a key necessity of the modern world. Comfortable, clean, hygienic, antimicrobial, and insect repelling properties of textile goods are gaining the accelerating research momentum as a basic requirement to produce multifunctional textiles. These functional finishes have numerous applications such as in-home textiles, bed nets, and tenting, camping gear as well as in military uniforms. Synthetic antimicrobial and insect repellents are quite effective against insects and microscopic organisms but are slightly toxic to the human being and the environment. To overcome these problems, researchers are considering natural agents for functional finishes, but their effectiveness is less durable to textile material. Besides needful advantages, the excessive use of dyes in finishing processes heavily required washing cycles and ultimately release various types of hazardous dyes or wasteful effluents in the environment. This review reports the chemical composition and recent developments in textile finishes, particularly antimicrobial and insect repellent textile finishes. A large number of commonly used antimicrobial agents (i.e. chitosan, zwitterionic compounds, silver and silver-based compounds, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, imidazolium salts, triclosan and quaternary ammonium salts) and insect repellent textile finishes (i.e. N‑N‑diethyl‑m‑toluamide, permethrin, cypermethrin, pyrethrum, picaridin, bioallethrin, citriodiol and essential oils) have been presented. Finally, the review is wrapped up with major research gaps/challenges, concluding remarks, and future opportunities in this area of research.

RSC Adv 2019; 9:6011-6020. [PMID: 35517271 PMCID: PMC9060900 DOI: 10.1039/c9ra00618d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2019] [Accepted: 02/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of novel chalcone derivatives containing the 1,2,4-triazine moiety were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analyses. Antiviral bioassays revealed that most of the compounds exhibited good antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at a concentration of 500 μg mL-1. The designated compound 4l was 50% effective in terms of curative and protective activities against TMV with 50% effective concentrations (EC50) of 10.9 and 79.4 μg mL-1, which were better than those of ningnanmycin (81.4 and 82.2 μg mL-1). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) also showed that the binding of compound 4l to coat protein (TMV-CP) yielded a K d value of 0.275 ± 0.160 μmol L-1, which was better than that of ningnanmycin (0.523 ± 0.250 μmol L-1). At the same time, molecular docking studies for 4l with TMV-CP (PDB code:1EI7) showed that the compound was embedded well in the pocket between the two subunits of TMV-CP. Meanwhile, compound 4a demonstrated excellent antibacterial activities against Ralstonia solanacearum (R. solanacearum), with an EC50 value of 0.1 μg mL-1, which was better than that of thiodiazole-copper (36.1 μg mL-1) and bismerthiazol (49.5 μg mL-1). The compounds act by causing folding and deformation of the bacterial cell membrane as observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chalcone derivatives thus synthesized could become potential alternative templates for novel antiviral and antibacterial agents.
