Hou W, Xu XL, Huang LJ, Zhang ZY, Zhou ZN, Wang JY, Ouyang X, Xin SY, Zhang ZY, Xiong Y, Huang H, Lan JX. Bioactivities and Action Mechanisms of Ellipticine Derivatives Reported Prior to 2023. Chem Biodivers 2024; 21:e202400210. [PMID: 38433548 DOI: 10.1002/cbdv.202400210] [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: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Currently, natural products are one of the priceless options for finding novel chemical pharmaceutical entities. Ellipticine is a naturally occurring alkaloid isolated from the leaves of Ochrosia elliptica Labill. Ellipticine and its derivatives are characterized by multiple biological activities. The purpose of this review was to provide a critical and systematic assessment of ellipticine and its derivatives as bioactive molecules over the last 60 years. Publications focused mainly on the total synthesis of alkaloids of this type without any evaluation of bioactivity have been excluded. We have reviewed papers dealing with the synthesis, bioactivity evaluation and mechanism of action of ellipticine and its derivatives. It was found that ellipticine and its derivatives showed cytotoxicity, antimicrobial ability, and anti-inflammatory activity, among which cytotoxicity toward cancer cell lines was the most investigated aspect. The inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II was the most relevant mechanism for cytotoxicity. The PI3K/AKT pathway, p53 pathway, and MAPK pathway were also closely related to the antiproliferative ability of these compounds. In addition, the structure-activity relationship was deduced, and future prospects were outlined. We are confident that these findings will lay a scientific foundation for ellipticine-based drug development, especially for anticancer agents.

Abstract
A novel carbazole compound, named 1-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-3-phenylurea (Cpu) was synthesized and its binding properties with protease enzymes (pepsin and trypsin) has been examined by steady-state fluorescence measurements, UV/vis absorption, infrared (FT-IR) and circular dicroism (CD) spectroscopies and also computational methods. The fluorescence experimental results indicated that the quenching mechanism of enzyme by Cpu is static process. The thermodynamic parameters (both negative ΔH/ΔS) and molecular docking results suggested that the binding of Cpu to pepsin/trypsin were driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Based on Förster's theory, the binding distance (r) between pepsin/trypsin and Cpu was calculated to be 3.072/2.784 nm, which implies that non-radiative energy transfer occurs from enzyme to Cpu. Furthermore, absorption, CD, and FT-IR spectral analysis provided an evidence that the presence of Cpu induced notable changes in the secondary structures and microenvironmental of both pepsin and trypsin, supporting its significant influence on these enzymes.

[PMID: 36871789 DOI: 10.1016/j.parint.2023.102741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
Apicomplexan parasites, especially Eimeria sp., are the main intestinal murine pathogens, that lead to severe injuries to farm and domestic animals. Many anticoccidial drugs are available for coccidiosis, which, leads to the development of drug-resistant parasites. Recently, natural products are considered as an alternative agent to control coccidiosis. This study was designed to evaluate the anticoccidial activity of the Persea americana fruit extract (PAFE) in male C57BL/6 mice. A total of 35 male mice were divided into seven equal groups (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). At day 0, all groups except the first group which served as uninfected-untreated control were infected orally with 1 × 103E. papillata sporulated oocysts. Group 2 served as uninfected-treated control. Group 3 was considered an infected-untreated group. After 60 min of infection, groups 4, 5, and 6 were treated with oral doses of PAFE aqueous methanolic extract (100, 300, and 500 mg/kg of body weight, respectively). Group 7 was treated with amprolium (a reference drug for coccidiosis). PAFE with 500 mg/kg, was the most effective dose, inducing a significant reduction in the output of oocysts in mice feces (by about 85.41%), accompanied by a significant decrease in the number of the developmental parasite stages and a significant elevation of the goblet cells in the jejunal tissues. Upon treatment, a significant change in the oxidative status due to E. papillata infection was observed, where the levels of glutathione (GSH) increased, while, levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) were decreased. In addition, the infection significantly upregulated the inflammatory cytokines of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). This increase in mRNA expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ was about 8.3, 10.6, and 4.5-fold, respectively, which significantly downregulated upon treatment. Collectively, P. americana is a promising medicinal plant with anticoccidial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities and could be used for the treatment of coccidiosis.

Abstract
Plant-derived (phyto) carbazole alkaloids are an important class of compounds, presented in the family of Rutaceae (Genera Murraya, Clausena, Glycosmis, Micromelum and Zanthoxylum). Due to several significant biological activities, such as antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anti-HIV and neuroprotective activities of the parent skeleton (3-methylcarbazole), carbazole alkaloids are recognized as an important class of potential therapeutic agents. Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) may exhibit a vast range of conditions, affecting neurons primarily and leading ultimately to the progressive losses of normal motor and cognitive functions. The main pathophysiological indicators of NDs comprise increasing atypical protein folding, oxidative stresses, mitochondrial dysfunctions, deranged neurotransmissions and neuronal losses. Phyto-carbazole alkaloids can be investigated for exerting multitarget approaches to ameliorating NDs. This review presents a comprehensive evaluation of the available scientific literature on the neuroprotective mechanisms of phyto-carbazole alkaloids from the Rutaceae family in ameliorating NDs.

Abstract
Olivacine and its derivatives are characterized by multidirectional biological activity. Noteworthy is their antiproliferative effect related to various mechanisms, such as inhibition of growth factors, enzymes, kinases and others. The activity of these compounds was tested on cell lines of various tumors. In most publications, the most active olivacine derivatives exceeded the effects of doxorubicin (a commonly used anticancer drug), so in the future, they may become the main new anticancer drugs. In this publication, we present the groups of the most active olivacine derivatives obtained. In this work, the in vitro and in vivo activity of olivacine and its most active derivatives are presented. We describe olivacine derivatives that have been in clinical trials. We conducted a structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis that may be used to obtain new olivacine derivatives with better properties than the available anticancer drugs.

Abstract
In this study, a new series of N-alkyl-3,6-dibromocarbazole and N-alkyl-5-bromoindole derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro as anti-cancer and anti-migration agents. Cytotoxic and anti-migratory effects of these compounds were evaluated in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines and an insight on the structure-activity relationship was developed. Preliminary investigations of their anti-cancer activity demonstrated that several compounds have moderate antiproliferative effects on cancer cell lines with GI50 values in the range of 4.7-32.2 µM. Moreover, carbazole derivatives 10, 14, 15, 23, and 24 inhibit migration activity of metastatic cell line MDA-MB-231 in the range of 18-20%. The effect of compounds 10, 14, and 15 in extension of invadopodia and filopodia was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and results demonstrated a reduction in actin-based cell extensions by compounds 10 and 15.

Abstract
The reaction of methyl 2-(1-oxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1 H-carbazol-2-yl)oxoacetates (1a-e) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in alcoholic KOH afforded 1-hydroxyimino-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1 H-carbazoles (2a-e), and in acetic acid methyl isoxazolo[5,4- a]carbazole-3-carboxylates (3a-e). Ketoesters 1a-e with urea and thiourea under acidic conditions yielded a mixture of the respective 1-hydroxycarbazoles (6a-e) and 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1 H-carbazol-1-ones (7a-e), but under basic conditions the respective 1-carbimido- and 1-thiocarbimido-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1 H-carbazoles (8a-e and 9a-e) were formed. Plausible mechanisms are proposed.

Abstract
An efficient approach for the synthesis of functionalized tetrahydro-pyrido/quinolinocarbazoles from 2-alkynylindole-3-carbaldehydes and l-proline utilizing a metal-free decarboxylative cyclization, ring expansion, and ring contraction strategy via the generation of azomethine ylide was developed. The reaction of 2-alkynylindole-3-carbaldehydes with l-thioproline leads to the formation of γ-carbolines. By virtue of this expedient method, a diverse range of biologically active heteroannulated carbazoles can be synthesized efficiently.

Abstract
Based on the efficacy of EHop-016 as an inhibitor of migration and Rac1 activation, a new series of carbazole derivatives has been synthesized. Cytotoxic and anti-migratory effects of these compounds were evaluated in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Preliminary investigations of their anticancer activity demonstrated that several compounds have moderate antiproliferative effects on cancer cell lines with GI50 values in the range of 13-50 µM. Furthermore, compounds 3b and 11b inhibit migration activity of metastatic cell line MDA-MB-231 by 32% and 34%, respectively. Compound 11b was shown to inhibit activation of the Rho GTPase Rac1 by 55% at 250 nM in both MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cell lines. Compared with the IC50 of Rac1 inhibition by lead compound EHop-016 of 1.1 µM, compound 11b demonstrates 4X improved in vitro efficacy.

Abstract
The new carbazole N,N' ligand containing [(η(5)-C5Me5)MCl(L)]PF6, (M=Ir (1) and Rh (2)) and [(η(6)-C6H6)RuCl(L)]PF6 (3) (C5Me5=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, L=9-ethyl-N-(pyridine-2-yl methylene)-9H-carbazole-3-amine) complexes has been synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, 2D NMR, melting point analysis, electronic absorption, infrared spectroscopy, HR-Mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The crystal structure of the [(η(5)-C5Me5)RhCl(L)]PF6 has been confirmed by single crystal XRD. The anticancer study of the synthesized complexes 1-3 clearly showed a potent inhibitor of human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) under in vitro conditions. The inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of the complexes 1-3 were determined at low (5, 6 and 8μM) concentration against the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Further cytotoxic, cell cycle and nuclear studies confirmed that the novel half sandwich Ir(III), Rh(III) and Ru(II) complexes could be effective against MCF-7 human breast cancer cell proliferation. Moreover the results indicate that anticancer in vitro activity of complexes 1-3 falls in the order of 1>2>3. A molecular docking study of the complexes 1-3 showed the nature of binding energy, H-bond and hydrophobic interactions with the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) receptor.

Abstract
Carbazoles represent an important class of heterocycles. These have been reported to exhibit diverse biological activities such as antimicrobial, antitumor, antiepileptic, antihistaminic, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antidiarrhoeal, analgesic, neuroprotective and pancreatic lipase inhibition properties. A series of carbazole derivatives such as N-substituted carbazoles, benzocarbazoles, furocarbazoles, pyrrolocarbazoles, indolocarbazoles, imidazocarbazoles, etc. have been synthesized. The N-substituted derivatives have gained the attention of researchers due to their therapeutic potential against neurological disorders and cell proliferation. Herein an attempt is made to review the medicinal importance of recently synthesized N-substituted carbazoles.

Abstract
The development of a lead-mediated α-arylation reaction between aryl azides and β-ketoesters or γ-lactams that facilitates the formation of 3H-indoles is disclosed. Twenty-five examples are included which demonstrate the generality of this reaction to access aryl azides bearing tetrasubstituted o-alkyl substituents. When paired with a Staudinger reduction, this reaction streamlines the synthesis of functionalized 3H-indoles.

Abstract
In this paper, the synthetic route of a potential antitumor reagent, benzo[b][1,10] phenanthrolin-7(12H)-one (BPO), was improved. A sulfonic group was introduced to BPO to form a new compound, 7-oxobenzo[b][1,10]phenan-throline-12(7H)-sulfonic acid (OPSA), in order to enhance its water-solubility. The molecular structure of OPSA has been confirmed by IR, UV, MS, (1)H NMR and elements analysis. It was proved in our experiments that DNA could quench the fluorescence of OPSA and the maximum quenched intensity appeared at 408 nm (lambda(ex)=284 nm). The quenched fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration of DNA. Based on this phenomenon, OPSA had been used as the fluorescent probe for detection of calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and the corresponding linear response range was from 1.0 to 150.0 microg mL(-1) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 3.8 ng mL(-1). Its interaction with ct-DNA was investigated by fluorescence, absorption and viscosity measurements. When binding to ct-DNA, OPSA showed obvious fluorescence quenching and the quenched intensity was stable with the presence and absence of NaCl. The absorption spectra of OPSA had no evidence of increasing or decreasing when ct-DNA was added. The viscosity of OPSA and ct-DNA mixture showed no obvious change comparing with the viscosity of ct-DNA along. The results suggested that the interaction between OPSA and ct-DNA was groove binding in nature. Scatchard plots constructed from fluorescence titration data gave a binding constant of 8.9 x 10(5) L mol(-1) and a binding site size of 0.35 base pairs per bound drug molecule.

Abstract
Reaction of 1-hydroxycarbazole-2-carbaldehydes 1 with phenacyl bromide yielded 2-benzoyl-10H-furo[2,3-a]carbazoles 2, whereas the reaction with ethyl bromoacetate yielded 1-oxo-1,2-dihydro[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-jk]carbazole-4-carbaldehyde (4). The reaction of 1 with ethyl acetoacetate and also with diethyl malonate yielded the pyranocarbazoles 6 and 7, respectively. All the products were characterized by spectral and analytical means. Plausible mechanisms of product formation are proposed.

Abstract
A series of novel 2,4-diaminopyrimido[4,5-b]indol-6-ols has been synthesized and the in vitro cytotoxic activities were evaluated against four human cancer cell lines originating from solid tumors. An increase in activity was observed when a heteroaromatic ring was annulated on side g of the pyrimido[4,5-b]indole system to give compounds with activities comparable to ellipticine and cisplatin. To understand the experimental cytotoxic activities, QSAR investigations were performed, which showed a very good linearity between the experimental and predicted IC(50).

Abstract
The present study describes the synthesis and pharmacological profiles of new olivacine related compounds, possessing a modified D ring. The impact of this modification has been evaluated with respect to the cytotoxic and in vivo antitumoral effects of these molecules and in comparison with parent S 16020-2 previously prepared and investigated in our laboratory. The D ring size and number of nitrogen atoms as well as the position of the aminoalkyl substituent have a profound impact on the cytotoxic and antitumoral profiles. Thus out of the prepared pyrazinocarbazole compounds, 2 is devoid of any substantial cytotoxic and antitumoral activities while the pyrimidocarbazole 3 has a similar profile compared to 1 (S 16020-2). L1210 and P388 in vivo antitumoral effects are lost for both imidazocarbazoles 4 and 5, but the former conserves an in vivo antitumoral effect on B16 melanoma, this effect being the largest in the series. Structural similarities and differences amongst the studied compounds could be evidenced by calculation of global properties such as molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP maps) and partition coefficients (logP), thus adding information on the impact of chemical changes on these two parameters known to influence biological behavior.

Abstract
The synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of 9-acyloxy 1,8-dichloroanthracene derivatives are described. The system selectively reduces the carbonyl group flanked by the peri substituents of the anthracenediones to give the corresponding 1,8-dichloro-9(10H)-anthracenone. Simple acylation of anthracenone occurred with appropriate acyl chlorides in CH2Cl2 with a catalytic amount of pyridine to give the 9-acyloxy-1,8-dichloroanthracene derivatives. Considerable interest has developed in the mechanism of how anthracenones achieve this desirable selectivity. These compounds were evaluated in vitro for their ability to inhibit the growth of human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells (KB cell line), human cervical carcinoma cells of ME 180 (GBM 8401) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, respectively, as compared to mitoxantrone. The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of 9-acyloxy 1,8-dichloroanthracenes against these above cell lines revealed for most of the compounds a cytotoxic potency lower than that of mitoxantrone. The most active compounds were thus selected for further in vitro biological evaluation and structural modification.

Abstract
Condensation of either 2-bromobenzoic acid (4) or 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (5) with suitable aminoquinolines 6-8 afforded phenylquinolylamines 9-13. Acid mediated cyclization gave the corresponding 12H-benzo[b][1,7]phenanthrolin-7-ones 14 and 15, and 12H-benzo[b][1,10]phenanthrolin-7-ones 16-18. Compounds 14, 16, and 17 were subsequently N-methylated to 6-demethoxyacronycine and acronycine analogues 19-21, whereas reduction of the aromatic nitro group of 18 gave the amino derivative 22. Unsubstituted 12H-benzo[b][1,10]phenanthrolin-7-ones 16, 17, 20, and 21 were devoid of significant cytotoxic activity, whereas 18 and 22, bearing a nitrogen substituent at position 11, were significantly active. Unsubstituted 12H-benzo[b][1,7]phenanthrolin-7-ones 14 and 19, which include a pyridine nitrogen in the same 4-position as the pyran oxygen of acronycine exhibited cytotoxic activities within the same range of magnitude as acronycine itself.
