- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel naphthoquinone-4-aminobenzensulfonamide/carboxamide derivatives as proteasome inhibitors
-
A series of novel 4-aminobenzensulfonamide/carboxamide derivatives bearing naphthoquinone pharmacophore were designed, sythesized and evaluated for their proteasome inhibitory and antiproliferative activities against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral and elemental analyses. The proteasome inhibitory activity studies were carried out using cell-based assay. The antiproteasomal activity results revealed that most of the compounds exhibited inhibitory activity with different percentages against the caspase-like (C-L, β1 subunit), trypsin-like (T-L, β2 subunit) and chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L, β5 subunit) activities of proteasome. Among the tested compounds, compound 14 bearing 5-chloro-2-pyridyl ring on the nitrogen atom of sulfonamide group is the most active compound in the series and displayed higher inhibition with IC50 values of 9.90 ± 0.61, 44.83 ± 4.23 and 22.27 ± 0.15 μM against ChT-L, C-L and T-L activities of proteasome compared to the lead compound PI-083 (IC50 = 12.47 ± 0.21, 53.12 ± 2.56 and 26.37 ± 0.5 μM), respectively. The antiproliferative activity was also determined by MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay in vitro. According to the antiproliferative activity results, all of the compounds exhibited cell growth inhibitory activity in a range of IC50 = 1.72 ± 0.14–20.8 ± 0.5 μM and compounds 13 and 28 were found to be the most active compounds with IC50 values of 1.79 ± 0.21 and 1.72 ± 0.14 μM, respectively. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies were carried out for the compounds 13, 14 and 28 to investigate the ligand-enzyme binding interactions.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of substituted nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthetase inhibitors as potential antitubercular agents
-
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthetase catalyzes the last step in NAD+ biosynthesis. Depletion of NAD+ is bactericidal for both active and dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). By inhibiting NAD+ synthetase (NadE) from Mtb, we expect to eliminate NAD+ production which will result in cell death in both growing and nonreplicating Mtb. NadE inhibitors have been investigated against various pathogens, but few have been tested against Mtb. Here, we report on the expansion of a series of urea-sulfonamides, previously reported by Brouillette et al. Guided by docking studies, substituents on a terminal phenyl ring were varied to understand the structure–activity-relationships of substituents on this position. Compounds were tested as inhibitors of both recombinant Mtb NadE and Mtb whole cells. While the parent compound displayed very weak inhibition against Mtb NadE (IC50 = 1000 μM), we observed up to a 10-fold enhancement in potency after optimization. Replacement of the 3,4-dichloro group on the phenyl ring of the parent compound with 4-nitro yielded 4f, the most potent compound of the series with an IC50 value of 90 μM against Mtb NadE. Our modeling results show that these urea-sulfonamides potentially bind to the intramolecular ammonia tunnel, which transports ammonia from the glutaminase domain to the active site of the enzyme. This hypothesis is supported by data showing that, even when treated with potent inhibitors, NadE catalysis is restored when treated with exogenous ammonia. Most of these compounds also inhibited Mtb cell growth with MIC values of 19–100 μg/mL. These results improve our understanding of the SAR of the urea-sulfonamides, their mechanism of binding to the enzyme, and of Mtb NadE as a potential antitubercular drug target.

- Nitrogen-containing polyhydroxylated aromatics as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors: Synthesis, structure-activity relationship analysis, and biological activity
-
Four series of forty-five nitrogen-containing polyhydroxylated aromatics based on caffeic acid phenethyl ester were designed and synthesized as HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors. Most of these compounds inhibited IN catalytic activities in low micromolar range. Among these new analogues, compounds 9e and 9f were the most potent IN inhibitors with IC50 value of 0.7 μM against strand transfer reaction. Their key structure-activity relationships were also discussed.

- Sulfonamide molecular crystals: Thermodynamic and structural aspects
-
The crystal structures of three sulfonamides with the structures C 6H5-SO2NH-C6H5, C 6H5-SO2NH-C6H4-R (R = 4-NO2), 4-NH2-C6H4-SO 2NH-C6H4-R (R = 4-NO2; 4-CN) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. On the basis of our previous data and the obtained results, comparative analysis of crystal properties was performed: molecular conformational states, packing architecture, and hydrogen bond networks using graph set notations. Conformational flexibility of the bridge connecting two phenyl rings was studied and described by a correlation equation. Hydrogen bonds were grouped according to the frequency of hydrogen bond appearance within the definite graph set assignment. The strength of the hydrogen bonds was evaluated. The influence of various molecular fragments on crystal lattice energy was analyzed. A correlation between melting points and fragmental molecular interactions in the crystal lattices was obtained. The thermodynamic aspects of the sulfonamide sublimation were studied by investigating the temperature dependence of vapor pressure using the transpiration method. A correlation between the Gibbs energy of the sublimation process and molecular H-bond acceptor factors was found. In addition, a regression equation was derived for describing the correlation between the sublimation entropy terms and crystal density data calculated from X-ray diffraction results. These dependencies allow us to predict sublimation thermodynamic parameters not knowing more than the molecular formula and crystal density.(Figure Presented)
