Excellent anticancer activity of 1,3-oxazol-4-ylphosphonium salts has been demonstrated in a total panel of NCI tumor cell lines. The average values of the antitumoractivity parameters of the most potent derivatives ranged from 0.3–1.1 μM (GI50), 1.2–2.5 μM (TGI), and 5–6 μM (LC50). The cytotoxicity vector of the compound 9 showed a high positive correlation with standard antitumor agents that induce

AbstractQSAR analysis of a set of previously synthesized phosphonium ionic liquids (PILs) tested against Gram‐negative multidrug‐resistant clinical isolate Acinetobacter baumannii was done using the Online Chemical Modeling Environment (OCHEM). To overcome the problem of overfitting due to descriptor selection, fivefold cross‐validation with variable selection in each step of the model development was applied. The predictive ability of the classification models was tested by cross‐validation, giving balanced accuracies (BA) of 76%–82%. The validation of the models using an external test set proved that the models can be used to predict the activity of newly designed compounds with a reasonable accuracy within the applicability domain (BA = 83%–89%). The models were applied to screen a virtual chemical library with expected activity of compounds against MDR Acinetobacter baumannii. The eighteen most promising compounds were identified, synthesized, and tested. Biological testing of compounds was performed using the disk diffusion method in Mueller‐Hinton agar. All tested molecules demonstrated high anti‐A. baumannii activity and different toxicity levels. The developed classification SAR models are freely available online at http://ochem.eu/article/113921 and could be used by scientists for design of new more effective antibiotics.

The invention provides compositions and methods to treat cancer with an agent that selectively promotes cancer cell death relative to non-malignant cells by mechanisms that include increased oxidative stress (“a therapeutic agent”) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an inhibitor of hydroperoxide metabolism and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
