Synthesis, Anticancer Activity, and Genome Profiling of Thiazolo Arene Ruthenium Complexes
摘要:
Sixteen hydrazinyl-thiazolo arene ruthenium complexes of the general formula [(eta(6)-p-cymene)Ru(N,Mhydrazinyl-thiazolo)Cl]Cl were synthesized. All complexes were tested in vitro for their antiproliferative activity on three tumor cell lines (HeLa, A2780, and A2780cisR) and on a noncancerous cell line (HFL-1). A superior cytotoxic activity of the ruthenium complexes as compared to cisplatin and oxaliplatin, on both cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer cells, was observed. In addition, the biological activity of two selected derivatives was evaluated using microarray gene expression assay and ingenuity pathway analysis. p53 signaling was identified as an important pathway modulated by both arene ruthenium compounds. New activated molecules such as FAS, ZMAT3, PRMT2, BBC3/PUMA, and PDCD4, whose overexpressions are correlated with overcoming resistance to cisplatin therapy, were also identified as potential targets. Moreover, the arene ruthenium complexes can be used in association with cisplatin to prevent cisplatin resistance development and synergistically to induce cell death in ovarian cancer cells.
In vitro and in silico antimalarial activity of 2-(2-hydrazinyl)thiazole derivatives
摘要:
A series of 2-(2-hydrazinyl)thiazole derivatives with a wide range of substitutions at 2-, 4- and 5-positions were synthesized, characterized and evaluated their inhibitory potentials against plasmodium falciparum, NF54, by in vitro blood stage assay. The compounds, ethyl-4-methyl-2-[(E)-2-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]hydrazin-1-yl]-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate, 4d, and 1-(4-methyl-2-[(E)-2-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidenelhydrazin-1-yl]-mu 3-thiazol-5-yliethan-1-one, 5d showed significant antimalarial activity with IC50 values of 0.725 mu M and 0.648 mu M respectively. To understand the mechanism, the binding interactions between 2-(2-hydrazinyl)thiazole derivatives and trans-2-enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase of P. falciparum were studied through docking studies. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) through docking studies for the compounds, 4d and 5d were found to be 22.88 mu M and 631.84 mu M respectively. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Facial one-pot, three-component synthesis of thiazole compounds by the reactions of aldehyde/ketone, thiosemicarbazide and chlorinated carboxylic ester derivatives
An efficient, clean and environmentally benign reaction process was developed for the convenient and cheap synthesis of hydrazonederivatives. A series of novel thiazole compounds were synthesized via one-pot three-component reaction of aldehyde/ketone, thiosemicarbazide, and chlorinated β-keto ester catalyzed by anhydrous sodium acetate. The reactions had excellent yields in EtOH solvent. The synthetic
