A method for the synthesis of 4- (1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-amine was developed, and the electronic and spatial structure of this molecule was studied theoretically and experimentally. The study of interaction energies between molecules by quantum-chemical calculations allows us to recognize different levels of crystal structure organization and describe the interaction types causing their formation. The classic N-H…N and C-H…N hydrogen bonds play the main role in all the studied crystals forming the primary basic structural motif. Their role is comparable with the role of the stacking interactions. The molecular docking study predicted that the studied compound may exhibit anti-hepatitis B activity, and experimental in vitro studies confirmed that it is a potent HBV inhibitor with IC50 in a low micromolar range.

AbstractIn an attempt to find novel, potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, a library of poly-substituted 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines 3a–ag have been synthesized through heating a mixture of 2-aminobenzimidazoles 1 and α-azidochalcone 2 under the mild conditions. This efficient, facile protocol has been resulted into the desirable compounds with a wide substrate scope in good to excellent yields. Afterwards, their inhibitory activities against yeast α-glucosidase enzyme were investigated. Showing IC50 values ranging from 16.4 ± 0.36 µM to 297.0 ± 1.2 µM confirmed their excellent potency to inhibit α-glucosidase which encouraged us to perform further studies on α-glucosidase enzymes obtained from rat as a mammal source. Among various synthesized 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, compound 3k exhibited the highest potency against both Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-glucosidase (IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.36 μM) and rat small intestine α-glucosidase (IC50 = 45.0 ± 8.2 μM). Moreover, the role of amine moiety on the observed activity was studied through substituting with chlorine and hydrogen resulted into a considerable deterioration on the inhibitory activity. Kinetic study and molecular docking study have confirmed the in-vitro results.

This efficient, facile protocol has been resulted into the desirable compounds with a wide substrate scope in good to excellent yields. Afterwards, their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were investigated. Showing IC50 values ranging from 16.4 ± 0.36 µM to 297.0 ± 1.2 µM confirmed their excellent potency to inhibit α-glucosidase which may provide new drug candidates in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. Among various synthesized 3-amino-2,4-diarylbenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, compound 3k exhibited the highest potency against α-glucosidase (IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.36 μM) which was 45.7 times more potent than acarbose as standard inhibitor (IC50 = 750.0 ± 1.5 μM). Moreover, the role of amine moiety on the observed activity was studied through substituting with chlorine and hydrogen resulted into a considerable deterioration on the inhibitory activity. Kinetic study and molecular docking study have confirmed the in-vitro results.

In connection with our research program concerning development of novel effective benzimidazole-based anticancer candidates, herein we describe a new unexpected synthetic route to obtain a series of 2–((imidazole/benzimidazol2–yl)thio)1–arylethanones endowed with promising anti-breast cancer and Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitory activities. Contrary to expectations, products for the reaction of 2–mercaptoimidazole/benzimidazole 2a,b with β–keto esters 6a–c were unambiguously assigned as 2–((imidazol/benzimidazol2–yl)thio)1–arylethanones 10a–f based on NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses. In vitro anticancer activities for herein reported imidazole/benzimidazoles 10a–f were assessed through a cell-based assay against human breast cancer T4–7D and MCF–7 cell lines. Benzimidazoles 10d–f exerted better anti-proliferative action towards T4–7D and MCF–7 cell lines than their corresponding imidazole counterparts 10a–c. Furthermore, a molecular docking study suggested CDK2 kinase as a potential enzymatic target for benzimidazoles 10d–f, and investigated their possible binding pattern and interactions within CDK2 active site. Thereafter, benzimidazoles 10d–f were in vitro examined for their CDK2 inhibitory action, where they exerted good activity. Finally, several key ADME and druglikeness properties were predicted by the SwissADME online tool. Interestingly, benzimidazoles 10d–f were found to have no violations in all druglikeness rules (Veber, Lipinski, Ghose, Muegge, and Egan). In addition, they had neither PAINS nor structural alerts (Brenks). In conclusion, benzimidazoles 10d–f demonstrated not only a promising anticancer activities but also an acceptable ADME and physicochemical properties especially benzimidazole 10e.

A series of new thiazoline derivatives were synthesized. Structure analyses were accomplished employing 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, X-ray and MS techniques. The in vitro antitumor activities were assessed against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) and colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116) cell lines. The results revealed that the thiazolines 5b and 2c exhibited significant activity against the two cell lines. The in vitro antimicrobial screening showed that the thiazolines 2c, 5b and 5d showed promising inhibition activity against Salmonella sp. Additionally, the inhibition activity of thiazolines 2e and 5b against Escherichia coli was comparable to that of the reference compound gentamycin.

Silicon (Si) is distributed throughout plant tissues, but its role in forages has not been clarified. Although Si has been suggested as an antiquality factor which limits the digestibility of structural carbohydrates, other research indicates that its presence in plants does not affect digestibility. We employed x-ray microanalysis to evaluate Si as an antiquality factor at specific sites of two cultivars of bermuda grass (Cynodon dactvlon (L.) Pers.). “Coastal” and “Tifton-78” were chosen for this study because previous work in our lab has shown that, although these two grasses are similar ultrastructurally, they differ in in vitro dry matter digestibility and in percent composition of Si.Two millimeter leaf sections of Tifton-7 8 (Tift-7 8) and Coastal (CBG) were incubated for 72 hr in 2.5% (w/v) cellulase in 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0. For controls, sections were incubated in the sodium acetate buffer or were not treated.

Background: Melanogenesis is a process of melanin synthesis, which is a primary response for the pigmentation of human skin. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme, which catalyzes a ratelimiting step of the melanin formation. Natural products have shown potent inhibitors, but some of these possess toxicity. Numerous synthetic inhibitors have been developed in recent years may lead to the potent anti– tyrosinase agents. Objective: A number of 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide analogues with related structure to chalcone and tyrosine were constructed with various substituents at the benzyl ring of the molecule and evaluate as a tyrosinase inhibitor. In addition, computational analysis and metal chelating potential have been evaluated. Methods: Design and synthesized compounds were evaluated for activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The metal chelating capacity of the potent compound was examined using the mole ratio method. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds was carried out into the tyrosine active site. Results: Novel 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized. The two compounds 4c and 4g showed an IC50 near the positive control, led to a drastic inhibition of tyrosinase. Confirming in vitro results were performed via the molecular docking analysis demonstrating hydrogen bound interactions of potent compounds with histatidine-Cu+2 residues with in the active site. Kinetic study of compound 4g showed competitive inhibition towards tyrosinase. Metal chelating assay indicates the mole fraction of 1:2 stoichiometry of the 4g-Cu2+ complex. Conclusion: The findings in the present study demonstrate that 4-Hydroxy-N'- methylenebenzohydrazide scaffold could be regarded as a bioactive core inhibitor of tyrosinase and can be used as an inspiration for further studies in this area.

Background: The most important cause of dementia affecting elderly people is the Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Patients affected by this progressive and neurodegenerative disease have severe memory and cognitive function impairments. Some medicines used for treating this disease in the early stages are based on inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Population aging should contribute to increase the cases of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, thus requiring the development of new therapeutic entities for the treatment of this disease. Methods: The objective of this work is to identify new substances that have spatial structural similarity with donepezil, an efficient commercial drug used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and to evaluate the capacity of inhibition of these new substances against the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Results: Based on a previous results of our group, we prepared a set of 11 spirocyclohexadienones with different substitutions patterns in three steps and overall yield of up to 59%. These compounds were evaluated in vitro against acetylcholinesterase. We found that eight of them are able to inhibit the acetylcholinesterase activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.12 to 12.67 µM. Molecular docking study indicated that the spirocyclohexadienone, 9e (IC50 = 0.12 µM), a mixedtype AChE inhibitor, showed a good interaction at active site of the enzyme, including the cationic (CAS) and the peripheral site (PAS). Conclusion: We described the first study aimed at investigating the biological properties of spirocyclohexadienones as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Thus, we have identified an inhibitor, which provided valuable insights for further studies aimed at the discovery of more potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Background: α-Glucosidase is a hydrolyze enzyme that plays a crucial role in degradation of carbohydrates and starch to glucose. Hence, α-glucosidase is an important target in the carbohydrate mediated diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Objective: In this study, novel coumarin containing dithiocarbamate derivatives 4a-n were synthesized and evaluated against α-glucosidase in vitro and in silico. Methods: These compounds were obtained of reaction between 4-(bromomethyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one 1, carbon disulfide 2, and primary or secondary amines 3a-n in the presence potassium hydroxide and ethanol at room temperature. In vitro α-glucosidase inhibition and kinetic study of these compounds were performed. Furthermore, docking study of the most potent compounds was also performed by Auto Dock Tools (version 1.5.6). Results: Obtained results showed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited prominent inhibitory activities (IC50 = 85.0 ± 4.0-566.6 ± 8.6 μM) in comparison to acarbose as standard inhibitor (IC50 = 750.0 ± 9.0 µM). Among them, secondary amine derivative 4d with pendant indole group was the most potent inhibitor. Enzyme kinetic study of the compound 4d revealed that this compound compete with substrate to connect to the active site of α-glucosidase and therefore is a competitive inhibitor. Also, molecular docking study predicted that this compound as well interacted with α-glucosidase active site pocket. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the coumarin-dithiocarbamate scaffold can be a promising lead structure for design potent α-glucosidase inhibitors for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
