Novel NSAID 1-acyl-4-cycloalkyl/arylsemicarbazides and 1-acyl-5-benzyloxy/hydroxy carbamoylcarbazides as potential anticancer agents and antioxidants
摘要:
The novel 1-acyl-4-cycloalkyl/arylsemicarbazides (5a-y) and 1-acyl-5-benzyloxy/hydroxy carbamoylcarbazides (8a-f) derived from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen, fenoprofen and reduced ketoprofen were prepared, fully chemically characterized and evaluated for their cytostatic, antiviral and antioxidant activities. Compounds 5 and 8 consist of a region rich in electronegative atoms (five to nine nitrogen and oxygen atoms) framed by aryl or cycloalkyl residues on one or both terminal ends. The synthetic pathways applied for the preparation of the title compounds involved a benzotriazole as a synthetic auxiliary in several steps. Three of the tested compounds, namely 4-benzhydryl-1-[2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)propanoyl]semicarbazide (5l), 4-benzhydryl-1-[2-(3-benzylphenyl)propanoyl]semicarbazide (5s), and 4-benzhydryl-1-[2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoyl]semicarbazide (5f) showed pronounced antiproliferative activity in vitro against six cancer cell lines (IC50 = 3-23 mu M). The same compounds highly inhibited soybean lipoxygenase (IC50 = 60 and 51.5 mu M) and lipid peroxidation as well (99, 88 and 74%, respectively). 4-Benzyloxy-1-[2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoyl]semicarbazide (5t) and 5-benzyloxycarbamoyl-1-[2-(3-benzylphenyl)propanoyl]carbazide (8c) exerted complete lipid peroxidation inhibition. Semicarbazides 5w-y and carbazides 8d-f bearing a hydroxamic acid/hydroxyurea moiety showed a modest antiradical activity in DPPH test, while the best radical scavenger was 1-(1-benzotriazolecarbonyl)-4-benzyloxysemicarbazide (7). None of the compounds were inhibitory to a broad panel of DNA and RNA viruses in the cell culture at subtoxic concentrations. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

A series of previously unreported α‐hydroxy hydrazonates were synthesized and tested for their antimalarial properties. Structure optimization of the antiplasmodially active α‐hydroxy hydrazonate III furnished derivatives with strong in‐vitro antimalarial activity against 3D7 strains of Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 values lower than 2.0 µM.
The present invention generally concerns particular methods and compositions for antimicrobial therapy. In particular embodiments, the compositions target DXR. In specific embodiments, the compositions are electron-deficient heterocyclic rings.
