Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzimidazole-5-carbohydrazide derivatives as antimalarial, cytotoxic and antitubercular agents

Selected analogues were screened for their antitubercular activity against sensitive MTB H(37)Rv and multidrug-resistant MDR-MTB strains, and cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines and two nontumourogenic cell lines. Compounds 3a, 5a, f, 6g were the most promising as inhibitors of β-hematin formation, however, their effect as inhibitors of hemoglobin hydrolysis were marginal. The most active compounds to emerge from the in vitro and in vivo murine studies were 3a and 6i, suggesting an antimalarial activity via inhibition of β-hematin formation and are as efficient as chloroquine. The cytotoxic and antitubercular activities of the present compounds were not comparable with those of the standard drugs employed. But, however, compound 5b showed better antitubercular activity compared to rifampin against multidrug-resistant MDR-MTB strains. Compounds 3a, 6i and 5b showed a good safety index.

Positive compounds for both assays were also tested for their efficacy in rodent Plasmodium berghei. Compounds 6, 16, 19, and 20, were the most promising. Inhibition of b-hematin formation was minimal when a hydrogen or methoxy groups were present on the position 8 of the quinoline and position 4′ of the indanone ring as it appeared for compounds 5, 7-15, 17, 18, and 21, and greatest with compounds (52%) and (90%) with a substitution of methoxy on position 6 and 7 or methyl on position 8 of the quinoline nucleus and methoxy or methyl groups on position 4′ of the indanone. The most active compound to emerge from this study is 2-chloro-8-methyl-3-[(4′-methoxy-1′-indanoyl)-2′-methyliden]-quinoline 20 effective as antimalarial that target b-hematin formation and the inhibition of the hydrolysis of hemoglobin in vitro together with a good survival in a murine malaria model, which should help delay the rapid onset of resistance to drugs acting at only a single site. Results with these assays suggest that quinolinylbenzocycloalcanones exert their antimalarial activity via multiple mechanisms.

A series of sulfur isosteres of acridinediones have been synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition of the Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain and for their antimalarial activity. A number of these phenothiazines inhibited falcipain and demonstrated activity against cultured P. falciparum parasites at low micromolar concentrations. We propose that the compounds exerted their antimalarial effects by two mechanisms, one of which involves the inhibition of falcipain and a consequent block in parasite degradation of hemoglobin. These compounds and related phenothiazines are worthy of further study as potential antimalarial agents.

Despite the absence of some available drugs capable of preventing, stopping or curing the progression of such diseases, there are numerous compounds designed, synthesized, and pharmacologically tested which give rise to pharmacophoric generalizations about the dopaminergic receptor required for the search of a drug able to improve or cure those pathologies. N-aralkyl-2-aminoindane de-rivatives have shown selective activity in the central dopaminergic system. Both the N-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-2-aminoindane hydrochloride 2and N-[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-2-aminoindane hydrochloride 3 showed an agonistic activity mediated by central dopaminergic mechanisms.

During the last decades, many compounds with dopaminergic activity have been designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated, but despite all these efforts, an effective drug able to improve or cure these pathologies has not been achieved. With the purpose to contribute in this essential search, this work describes the design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of the lilolidine derivative, 6-(2-aminoindanyl)-N-(2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline hydrochloride) 4 (MAIL), with the purpose of restoring the homeostasis of dopaminergic transmission in Parkinson’s disease and/or Huntington’s Chorea. To perform that, different organic synthesis classic and heterocyclic strategies were employed through a convergent route. Also, a preliminar pharmacological evaluation was done, where the stereotyped behavior of Sp...

The compounds were characterized using a wide range of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques, such as FTIR, UV-vis, NMR, EPR, ESI-CID-MS2. The spectral results suggested that the ligand acted as chelating species coordinating the metal through the endocyclic nitrogen of the quinoline ring in both complexes, with general formulae expressed in two ways, according to the phase in which they are: [Cu(L)2Cl2] for solid phase and [Cu(L)2][2Cl] for liquid phase. The EPR study of the Cu (II) complexes indicated a probable distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. This result was confirmed by the calculated optimized structures at the DFT/B3LYP method with the 6-31G (d,p) basis set. The characterization of the fragmentation pattern of protonated free ligands was extended here to fragments as low as m/z 43, while for coordination complexes it extends t...

On the purpose to find new drugs able to re-establish the imbalance on the dopaminergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system and counteract some of the neurodegenerative sicknesses, we have designed, synthesized, pharmacologically evaluated, and studied through molecular modeling,2-aminoindane-quinoline analog derivatives (1-5). Pharmacological studies made on the central nervous system through ICV (intracerebroventricular) and IS (intrastriatal), of compounds (1-5) showed agonistic activity by the activation of dopaminergic mechanisms on the central nervous system. The corresponding molecular modeling study permitted us not only to explain the differential behavior of studied compounds, but also to understand whichmolecular interactions are responsible to stabilize the different complexes formed between those compounds and the D 2 receptor. These results validate our medicinal chemical approach in different aspects: the receptor model used, the responsible fragment inserted within the structure of the compounds capable of interacting with the receptor, the complementary functional groups that facilitate the expected response and the pharmacological administration routes. All these aspects are important for the design of this type of compounds as potential anti-Parkinson and/or anti-Huntington agents.

The EPR study of the Cu (II) complexes indicated a probable distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. This result was confirmed by the calculated optimized structures at the DFT/B3LYP method with the 6-31G (d,p) basis set. The characterization of the fragmentation pattern of protonated free ligands was extended here to fragments as low as m/z 43, while for coordination complexes it extends t...

Aunque aun no se dispone de ningun farmaco capazde prevenir, detener o curar la progresion de estas enfermedades, son numerosos los compuestos quehan sido disenados, sintetizados y evaluados farmacologicamente, y han aportado las generalizaciones farmacoforicas del receptor dopaminergico necesarias para la busqueda de un farmaco capaz de mejoraro curar estas patologias. Los derivados del 2-aminoindano-N-aralquilicos, han mostrado tener actividad selectiva sobre el sistema dopaminergico central. Con el proposito de contribuir en la busqueda de nuevosfarmacos que permitan restablecer la homeostasis de la transmision dopaminergica en la enfermedad de Parkinson y/o la Corea de Huntington, fueron sintetizados y evaluados farmacologicamente losClorhidratos...

On the purpose to find new drugs able to re-establish the imbalance on the dopaminergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system and counteract some of the neurodegenerative sicknesses, we have designed, synthesized, pharmacologically evaluated, and studied through molecular modeling,2-aminoindane-quinoline analog derivatives (1-5). Pharmacological studies made on the central nervous system through ICV (intracerebroventricular) and IS (intrastriatal), of compounds (1-5) showed agonistic activity by the activation of dopaminergic mechanisms on the central nervous system. The corresponding molecular modeling study permitted us not only to explain the differential behavior of studied compounds, but also to understand whichmolecular interactions are responsible to stabilize the different complexes formed between those compounds and the D 2 receptor. These results validate our medicinal chemical approach in different aspects: the receptor model used, the responsible fragment inserted within the structure of the compounds capable of interacting with the receptor, the complementary functional groups that facilitate the expected response and the pharmacological administration routes. All these aspects are important for the design of this type of compounds as potential anti-Parkinson and/or anti-Huntington agents.
