Thiazolidinone-Related Heterocyclic Compounds as Potential Antitrypanosomal Agents
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Chagas disease are neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) due to parasite protists from the Trypanosoma genus transmitted by insect vectors. Trypanosomiases affect mostly poor populations in the developing countries, and the development of new antitrypanosomal drugs is underinvested by governments and the pharmaceutical industry. In this chapter, we described the development of 4-thiazolidinone and thiazole derivatives with heterocyclic fragments which exhibit good inhibition of trypanosome growth and might constitute potential candidates for the development of new drugs against trypanosomiasis. Antitrypanosomal design, mainly within structure-based design, led to the synthesis of 5-ene-4-thiazolidinone-3-alkanecarboxylic acids; 2,3-disubstituted 4-thiazolidinones; thiazolidinone-pyrazoline, phenylindole-thiazolidinone, and imidazothiadiazole-thiazolidinone hybrids; as well as 4-thiazolidinone-based fused heterocycles, especially thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazoles, and non-thiazolidinone compounds–namely, isothiocoumarine derivatives. Moreover, antitrypanosomal 4-thiazolidinones are of special interest in the search for new antimalarial and antileishmanial agents. Also many active anticancer agents among the abovementioned 4-thiazolidinones have been discovered
Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of a series of N-substituted bicyclo [2.2.1] hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximides
A Facile Synthesis and Anticancer Activity Evaluation of Spiro[Thiazolidinone-Isatin] Conjugates
The synthesis and evaluation of the anticancer activity of 3′-aryl-5′-arylidene-spiro[3H-indole-3,2′-thiazolidine]-2,4′(1H)-diones and spiro[3H-indole-3,2′-thi-azolidine]-2,4′(1H)-dione-3′-alkanoic acid esters were described. The structure of the compounds was determined by 1H and 13C NMR and their in vitro anticancer activity was tested in the National Cancer Institute. Among the tested compounds, (5′Z)-5′-(benzylidene)-3′-(4-chlorophenyl)spiro[3H-indole-3,2′-thia-zolidine]-2,4′(1H)-dione (IIa) and (5′Z)-3′-(4-chlorophenyl)-5′-[4-(1-methylethyl)-benzylidene]spiro[3H-indole-3,2′-thiazolidine]-2,4′(1H)-dione (IIb) were superior to other related compounds
4-Thiazolidinone derivative Les-3833 effectively inhibits viability of human melanoma cells through activating apoptotic mechanisms
Aim To evaluate cytotoxic action of 4-thiazolidinone derivative
Les-3833 and study the mechanisms of its pro-apoptotic
action toward human melanoma cells and human tumor
cell lines of other tissue origin.
Methods The effect of Les-3833 or doxorubicin on the viability
of 9 cell lines was studied using MTT assay, while
human melanoma cells of WM793 line were additionally
examined using light and fluorescent microscopies for
evaluating cytomorphological changes. The Western-blot
and flow cytometric analyses were carried out to study signaling
pathways of melanoma cell cycling and death.
Results Les-3833 was the most efficient against melanoma
cells. Its half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50)
was 0.22 μg/mL for WM793 cells and 0.3 μg/mL for SK-Mel-
28 melanoma cells. For human lung A549, breast MCF-7,
colon HCT116, and ovarian SKOV3 carcinoma cell lines IC50
was in between 2.5 to >5.0 μg/mL. Les-3833 was relatively
not toxic (IC50 > 5 μg/mL) for human embryonic kidney
HEK293 cells. Results of Annexin V/PI staining of melanoma
cells and activation of caspase 3, PARP, MAPK, and EndoG
protein suggest apoptosis in Les-3833-treated cells. Les-
3833 also induced ROS production in melanoma cells and
their arrest in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle.
Conclusion Novel 4-thiazolidinone derivative Les-3833 is
effective against human melanoma cells in vitro, and such
effect is tumor specific since it is much less pronounced in
human carcinoma and leukemia cells. In melanoma cells
Les-3833 induces apoptosis (morphological changes and
increased pro-apoptotic proteins), ROS production, and arrest
in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle
Cинтез та скринінг протисудомної активності нових 5-заміщених 2-іміно-4-тіазолідинонів
Aim. To synthesize 5-ene-4-thiazolidinones containing heterocyclic rings in the molecule as potential anticonvulsants, and screen their anticonvulsant activity on a model of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizures.Results and discussion. A straightforward and convenient synthesis of novel 5-ene-derivatives of thiazol/oxazole-bearing 4-thiazolidinones as possible anticonvulsant agents was performed. Compounds were characterized using methods of spectral analysis (1H NMR and LC-MS). 5-Chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde underwent the aminolysis on a chlorine atom by a molecule of monoethanolamine (MEA) in the Knoevenagel reaction with thiazole/oxazole-bearing 4-thiazolidinones. The preliminary screening of the anticonvulsant activity was performed for the compounds synthesized on the model of PTZ-induced seizures, and active derivatives were identified.Experimental part. Commercially available 2-aminothiazole and 5-methylisoxazol-3-amine were used as starting compounds for the synthesis of 2-chloro-N-(hetaryl)acetamides. The latter were transformed into thiazole/oxazole-bearing 4-thiazolidinones by the treatment with ammonium isothiocyanate. Modification at C5 position of the heterocycles synthesized was performed by the Knoevenagel reaction with aromatic/heteroaromatic aldehydes and MEA as a catalyst (either equimolar or 0.1 mol% amount) in the ethanol medium. The structure of novel derivatives was confirmed by 1H NMR and LC-MS spectra. The anticonvulsant activity of all derivatives synthesized was studied in vivo on the model of PTZ-induced seizures. Latency of the seizures, the number of clonic-tonic seizures in one mouse, the percent of animals with clonic and tonic seizures, the duration of the seizure period, and the lifetime of the animals before death were evaluated and calculated.Conclusions. The results obtained are promising for further design of potential anticonvulsants among oxazole-bearing 4-thiazolidones with the possible mechanism of the anticonvulsant action through the GABA-ergic impact and inhibition of the prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.

Структуру нових сполук досліджено та підтверджено методами спектрального аналізу (1Н ЯМР та LC-MS). 5-Хлор-3-метил-1-феніл-1H-піразол-4-карбальдегід зазнає амінолізу за атомом хлору дією моноетаноламіну (МЕА) в реакції Кньовенагеля з тіазол/оксазолвмісними 4-тіазолідінонами. Проведено первинний скринінг протисудомної активності синтезованих сполук на моделі пентилентетразол-індукованих судом та ідентифіковано активні сполуки.Експериментальна частина. Комерційно доступні 2-амінотіазол і 5-метилізоксазол-3-амін було використано як вихідні сполуки для одержання 2-хлор-N-(гетарил)ацетамідів. Останні обробленням амоній ізотіоціанатом було перетворено на тіазол/оксазолвмісні 4-тіазолідинони. Модифікацію за положенням С5 сполук проводили за реакцією Кньовенагеля з ароматичними/гетероароматичними альдегідами в присутності МЕА як каталізатора (в еквімолярній або 0,1 моль% кількості) в середовищі етанолу. Структуру нових синтезованих речовин підтверджено даними 1H ЯМР-спектроскопії та LC-MS. Протисудомну активність синтезованих похідних вивчали in vivo на моделі PTZ-індукованих судом. Оцінювали та розраховували латентність судом; кількість клоніко-тонічних судом в однієї миші; відсоток тварин із клонічними та тонічними судомами; тривалість судомного періоду та тривалість життя тварин.Висновки. Отримані результати є перспективними для наступного дизайну потенційних протисудомних засобів серед оксазолвмісних похідних 4-тіазолідинонів з можливим механізмом протисудомної дії через ГАМК-ергічний вплив та пригнічення синтезу простагландинів і лейкотриєнів
Putative anticancer potential of novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives: cytotoxicity toward rat C6 glioma in vitro and correlation of general toxicity with the balance of free radical oxidation in rats
Aim To evaluate the cytotoxic action of 4-thiazolidinone derivatives
(ID 3288, ID 3882, and ID 3833) toward rat glioma
C6 cells and to compare the effects of these compounds
and doxorubicin on the balance of free radical oxidation
(FRO) and antioxidant activity (AOA) in the serum of rats.
Methods Glioma cells were treated with ID 3882, ID 3288,
ID 3833, and doxorubicin, and their cytotoxicity was studied
using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium
bromide) assay and Trypan blue exclusion test, light
and fluorescent microscopy, and flow cytometric study of
cell cycling and apoptosis, including measuring of Annexin
V-positive cells. The contents of superoxide radical, hydrogen
peroxide, hydroxyl radical, malonic dialdehyde, and hydrogen
sulfide were measured in the serum of rats. Enzymatic
activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (Cat),
and glutathione peroxydase (GPO) was determined.
Results Among novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives, ID 3288
was most toxic toward rat glioma C6 cells, even compared
with doxorubicin. All applied derivatives were less active
than doxorubicin in inducing reactive oxygen species-related
indicators in the serum of rats. A similar effect was observed
when enzymatic indicators of AOA processes were
measured. While doxorubicin inhibited the activity of SOD,
GPO, and Cat, the effects of 4-thiazolidinone derivatives
were less prominent.
Conclusion Novel 4-thiazolidinone derivatives differ in their
antineoplastic action toward rat glioma C6 cells, and ID 3288
possesses the highest activity compared to doxorubicin.
Measurement of indicators of FRO and AOA in the serum of
rats treated with these compounds showed their lower general
toxicity compared with doxorubicin’s toxicity
