Abstract
Aims: Drug resistance in ovarian cancer (OC) cells often leads to recurrence, metastasis, and high mortality rates among OC patients. Hydroxytyrosol (HT) has been reported to inhibit the proliferation of ovarian and other types of cancer cells. Here we synthesized a novel cyclohexane-hydroxytyrosol derivative (Chx-HT) for enhanced anticaner efficacy. We examined the growth-suppressing effect of Chx-HT on OC cells in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model and investigated the underlying mechanism. Results: We demonstrated that Chx-HT inhibits proliferation, promotes apoptosis, and remodels glucose and lipid metabolism by reducing fatty acid β-oxidation while increasing glycolysis, de novo fatty acid synthesis (FAS), and lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, impairs mitochondrial respiration, and induces oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, Chx-HT blocks autophagic flux by obstructing the maturation of lysosomal cathepsins in the late stage, but also activates autophagy through the p-AMPK/p-mTOR/p-ULK1 pathway in response to energy deficit. Innovation and Conclusion: Reactive oxidative species (ROS) play a critical role in mediating the effects of Chx-HT on proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, fatty acid β-oxidation, and mitochondrial respiration, and the autophagic activation underlies the effects of Chx-HT on glycolysis, de novo FAS, and LD accumulation in OC cells. Cotreating OC cells with Chx-HT and autophagic inhibitor or glycolytic inhibitor results in an additive inhibition of proliferation. Our study indicates that Chx-HT stands for a promising OC therapeutic by ROS and autophagy blockade-mediated metabolic remodeling.

Abstract
New 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones capable of participating in regioselective reactions with functionally diverse hydrazonoyl chlorides towards angular regioisomers, rather than linear ones, were designed and synthesized to form stereoisomeric cis- and trans-hexahydro [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-9-ones to be tested as antitumor candidates. The angular regiochemistry of the products was verified through crystallographic experiments and NMR studies. In addition, the regioselectivity of the reaction was found to be independent of the stereochemistry of the used 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-one. Only compound 4c demonstrated satisfactory growth inhibition against all the cancer cells used among all the produced drugs.

Abstract
Herein we studied the preparation of different thiazoles via the reaction of 2-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (1) with hydrazonoyl halides under base-catalyzed conditions. The reactions proceed through nucleophilic substitution attack at the halogen atom of the hydrazonoyl halides by the thiol nucleophile to form an S-alkylated intermediate. The latter intermediate undergoes cyclization by the loss of water to afford the final products. The structures of the azo compounds were confirmed by FTIR, MS, NMR, and elemental analyses. Indeed, the newly synthesized azo compounds were estimated for their potential anticancer activities by an MTT assay against different human cancer cells, such as lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (DLD-1). The caspase-3 levels were also estimated using Western blotting and the dual staining technique to evaluate the potency of the titled compounds to promote apoptosis.
