Evaluation of acetylcholinesterase and carbonic anhydrase inhibition profiles of 1,2,3,4,6-pentasubstituted-4-hydroxy-cyclohexanes

Carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) is used for remedial purposes for several years, as there is significant focus on expanding more new activators (CAAs) and high affinity inhibitors. Alzheimers disease and other similar ailments such as dementia and vascular dementia with Lewy bodies reduce cholinergic activity in the important areas involved in cognition and memory. Prevalent drugs for the symptomatic therapy of dementia are significant in increasing the associated cholinergic deficiency by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). These six-membered carbocycles showed nice inhibitory action against AChE and human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) II and I isoforms. The hCA I, II, and AChE were efficiently inhibited by these molecules, with K-i values in the range of 6.70-35.85nM for hCA I, 18.77-60.84nM for hCA II, and 0.74-4.60 for AChE, respectively

Synthesis, characterization, and SAR of arylated indenoquinoline-based cholinesterase and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

We report the synthesis of bromoindenoquinolines (15a-f) by Friedlander reactions in low yields (13-50%) and the conversion of the corresponding phenyl-substituted indenoquinoline derivatives 16-21 in high yields (80-96%) by Suzuki coupling reactions. To explore the structure-activity relationship (SAR), their inhibition potentials to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and human carbonic anhydrase cyctosolic (hCA I and II) enzymes were determined. Monophenyl (16-18) indenoquinolines significantly inhibited the AChE and BChE enzymes in ranges of IC50 37-57nM and 84-93nM, respectively, compared with their starting materials 15a-c and reference compounds (galanthamine and tacrine). On the other hand, these novel arylated indenoquinoline-based derivatives were effective inhibitors of the BChE, hCA I and II, BChE and AChE enzymes with K-i values in the range of 37 +/- 2.04 to 88640 +/- 1990nM for AChE, 120.94 +/- 37.06 to 1150.95 +/- 304.48nM for hCA I, 267.58 +/- 98.05 to 1568.16 +/- 438.67nM for hCA II, and 84 +/- 3.86 to 144120 +/- 2910nM for BChE. As a result, monophenyl indenoquinolines 16-18 may have promising anti-Alzheimer drug potential and 3,8-dibromoindenoquinoline amine (15f) can be novel hCA I and hCA II enzyme inhibitors

Quinoline-based promising anticancer and antibacterial agents, and some metabolic enzyme inhibitors

Okten, Salih/0000-0001-9656-1803; Gulcin, ilhami/0000-0001-5993-1668; aydin, ali/0000-0002-9550-9111; Taslimi, Parham/0000-0002-3171-0633WOS:000567558100004PubMed: 32537757A series of substituted quinolines was screened for their antiproliferative, cytotoxic, antibacterial activities, DNA/protein binding affinity, and anticholinergic properties by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell proliferation, lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity, and microdilution assays, the Wolfe-Shimmer equality method, the Ellman method, and the esterase assay, respectively. The results of the cytotoxic and anticancer activities of the compounds displayed that 6-bromotetrahydroquinoline (2), 6,8-dibromotetrahydroquinoline (3), 8-bromo-6-cyanoquinoline (10), 5-bromo-6,8-dimethoxyquinoline (12), the novelN-nitrated 6,8-dimethoxyquinoline (13), and 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (17) showed a significant antiproliferative potency against the A549, HeLa, HT29, Hep3B, and MCF7 cancer cell lines (IC50 = 2-50 mu g/ml) and low cytotoxicity (similar to 7-35%) as the controls, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin. The compound-DNA linkages are hyperchromic or hypochromic, causing variations in their spectra. This situation shows that they can be bound to DNA with the groove-binding mode, withK(b)value in the range of 2.0 x 10(3)-2.2 x 10(5) M-1. Studies on human Gram(+) and Gram(-) pathogenic bacteria showed that the substituted quinolines exhibited selective antimicrobial activities with MIC values of 62.50-250 mu g/ml. All tested quinoline derivatives were found to be effective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and the human carbonic anhydrase I and II isoforms (hCA I and II), withK(i)values of 46.04-956.82 nM for hCA I, 54.95-976.93 nM for hCA II, and 5.51-155.22 nM for AChE. As a result, the preliminary data showed that substituted quinolines displayed effective pharmacological features. Molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the binding modes and interaction energies for compounds2-17with AChE (PDB ID: 4EY6), hCA I (PDB ID: 1BMZ), and hCA II (PDB ID: 2ABE)

Synthesis and investigation of antibacterial activities and carbonic anhydrase and acetyl cholinesterase inhibition profiles of novel 4,5-dihydropyrazol and pyrazolyl-thiazole derivatives containing methanoisoindol-1,3-dion unit

Novel 4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives (3a-i), 3-(4-((3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-1,3-dioxo-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindol-2(3H)-yl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothio amide, were obtained by the addition of thiosemicarbazide (2) to the chalcones (1a-i). The addition-cyclization of 2,4-dibromoacetophenone (4) to pyrazole derivatives (3a-i) gave the new pyrazolyl-thiazole derivatives (5a-i), (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-(4-(1-(4-(4-bromophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindole-1,3(2H)-dione. Antibacterial and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme and human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I, and II isoform inhibitory activities of the compounds 3a-i and 5a-i were investigated. Some of the compounds showed promising antibacterial activity. In addition, the hCA II and I were effectively inhibited by the lately synthesized derivatives, with K-i values in the range of 18.90 +/- 2.37 -58.25 +/- 13.62nM for hCA II and 5.72 +/- 0.98 -37.67 +/- 5.54nM for hCA I. Also, the K-i parameters of these compounds for AChE were obtained in the range of 25.47 +/- 11.11-255.74 +/- 82.20nM. Also, acetazolamide, clinical molecule, was used as a CA standard inhibitor that showed K-i value of 70.55 +/- 12.30nM against hCA II, and 67.17 +/- 9.1nM against hCA I, and tacrine inhibited AChE showed K-i value of 263.67 +/- 91.95

Synthesis and investigation of anticancer, antibacterial activities and carbonic anhydrase, acetylcholinesterase inhibition profiles of novel (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-[4-[1-acetyl-5-(aryl/heteroaryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]phenyl]-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindole-1,3(2H)-diones

A series of novel 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoline derivatives, (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-[4-[1-acetyl-5-(aryl/heteroaryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]phenyl]-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindole-1,3(2H)-diones, were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. In addition, the compounds were tested against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme and two physiologically relevant carbonic anhydrase I and II isozymes (hCA I and II). In this study, inhibition of hCA I and hCA II by the novel synthesized 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazolines was impressive, with K-i values in the range of 3.33-7.90nM for hCA I and 2.07-8.47nM for hCA II, while the K-i values of these compounds for AChE were recorded in the range of 9.61-48.42nM, respectively. Two compounds can be investigated as the leader compounds because of their lowest K-i values to make further detailed CA inhibition studies
