Synthesis and biological evaluation of polyhydroxycurcuminoids

A series of curcumin analogs (1-3, 5a-5t) was synthesized through the condensation of appropriately protected hydroxybenzaldehydes with acetylacetone, followed by deprotection. The antioxidant activity of these analogs was determined by superoxide free radical nitroblue tetrazolium and DPPH free radical scavenging methods and the polyhydroxycurcuminoids (5l-5s) displayed excellent antioxidant activity. These analogs showed cytotoxicity to lymphocytes and promising tumor-reducing activity on Dalton's lymphoma ascites tumor cells.     

Antitumor effects of curcumin and structurally beta-diketone modified analogs on multidrug resistant cancer cells

Using concepts of bioisostery a series of curcumin analogs were synthesized: the diketonic system of the compound was elaborated into enaminones, oximes, and the isoxazole heterocycle. The cell growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducing effects of the new analogs were evaluated by in vitro assays in the hepatocellular carcinoma HA22T/VGH cells, as well as in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and in its multidrug resistant (MDR) variant MCF-7R. Increased antitumor activity on all cell lines was found with the isoxazole analog and especially with the benzyl oxime derivative; in the HA22T/VGH cell model, the latter compound inhibited constitutive NF-kappaB activation.     

Quinoline Based Monocarbonyl Curcumin Analogs as Potential Antifungal and Antioxidant Agents: Synthesis,Bioevaluation and Molecular Docking Study

In search for new fungicidal and free radical scavenging agents, we synthesized a focused library of 2‐chloroquinoline based monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs). The synthesized MACs were evaluated for in vitro antifungal and antioxidant activity. The antifungal activity was evaluated against five different fungal strains such as Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Cryptococcus neoformans, respectively. Most of the synthesized MACs displayed promising antifungal activity compared to the standard drug Miconazole. Furthermore, molecular docking study on a crucial fungal enzyme sterol 14α‐demethylase (CYP51) could provide insight into the plausible mechanism of antifungal activity. MACs were also screened for in vitro radical scavenging activity using butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as a standard. Almost all MACs exhibited better antioxidant activity compared to BHT.     

Design, synthesis, synergistic antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of 4-aryl substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones of curcumin

3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones of curcumin were synthesized in excellent yield by multi-component one-pot condensation of curcumin, substituted aromatic aldehydes and urea/thiourea under solvent free conditions using SnCl(2)·2H(2)O catalyst. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, Mass spectra as well as elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds 4a-n were evaluated for their synergistic antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activity against bacteria and fungi. Zone of inhibition was measured by adopting disc diffusion method. In vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations were measured using broth microdilution and food poisoning method. In addition to this in vitro cytotoxicity of synthesized compounds against three human cancer lines Hep-G2, HCT-116 and QG-56 were also evaluated. Most of the compounds showed interesting antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity as compared to curcumin, that is, the compounds derived from 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde showed the highest biological activity as compared to other compounds.     

Antioxidation and tyrosinase inhibition of polyphenolic curcumin analogs

A series of polyphenolic curcumin analogs were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase and the inhibition of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical formation were evaluated. The results indictated that the analogs possessing m-diphenols and o-diphenols exhibited more potent inhibitory activity on tyrosinase than reference compound rojic acid, and that the analogs with o-diphenols exhibited more potent inhibitory activity of DPPH free-radical formation than reference compound vitamin C. The inhibition kinetics, analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots, revealed that compounds B(2) and C(2) bearing o-diphenols were non-competitive inhibitors, while compounds B(11) and C(11) bearing m-diphenols were competitive inhibitors. In particular, representative compounds C(2) and B(11) showed no side effects at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg in a preliminary evaluation of acute toxicity in mice. These results suggest that such polyphenolic curcumin analogs might serve as lead compounds for further design of new potential tyrosinase inhibitors.     

Antitumor agents 290. Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new LNCaP and PC-3 cytotoxic curcumin analogs conjugated with anti-androgens

In our continuing study of curcumin analogs as potential anti-prostate cancer drug candidates, 15 new curcumin analogs were designed, synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against two human prostate cancer cell lines, androgen-dependent LNCaP and androgen-independent PC-3. Twelve analogs (5-12, 15, 16, 19, and 20) are conjugates of curcumin (1) or methyl curcumin (2) with a flutamide- or bicalutamide-like moiety. Two compounds (22 and 23) are C4-mono- and difluoro-substituted analogs of dimethyl curcumin (DMC, 21). Among the newly synthesized conjugates compound 15, a conjugate of 2 with a partial bicalutamide moiety, was more potent than bicalutamide alone and essentially equipotent with 1 and 2 against both prostate tumor cell lines with IC(50) values of 41.8 μM (for LNCaP) and 39.1 μM (for PC-3). A cell morphology study revealed that the cytotoxicity of curcumin analogs or curcumin-anti-androgen conjugates detected from both prostate cancer cell lines might be due to the suppression of pseudopodia formation. A molecular intrinsic fluorescence experiment showed that 1 accumulated mainly in the nuclei, while conjugate 6 was distributed in the cytosol. At the tested conditions, anti-androgens suppressed pseudopodia formation in PC-3 cells, but not in LNCaP cells. The evidence suggests that distinguishable target proteins are involved, resulting in the different outcomes toward pseudopodia suppression.     

Novel curcumin analogs targeting TNF-induced NF-kappaB activation and proliferation in human leukemic KBM-5 cells

Novel curcumin analogs were synthesized using Knoevenagel condensation to convert enolic diketones of curcumin into non-enolizable ones and Schiff bases were prepared using a bioactive thiosemicarbazide pharmacophore. Copper(II) conjugates of all synthesized ligands were prepared and structurally characterized as well as evaluated for their potential of inhibiting TNF-induced NF-kappaB activation and proliferation in human leukemic KBM-5 cells wherein compound 13 was found to be more potent than curcumin. Compounds were further examined on other tumor cell lines such as Jurkat, H1299, and MM1, respectively.     

Design,synthesis, and evaluation of curcumin-derived arylheptanoids for glioblastoma and neuroblastoma cytotoxicity

Using an innovative approach toward multiple carbon–carbon bond-formations that relies on the multifaceted catalytic properties of titanocene complexes we constructed a series of C1–C7 analogs of curcumin for evaluation as brain and peripheral nervous system anti-cancer agents. C2-Arylated analogs proved efficacious against neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH & SK-N-FI) and glioblastoma multiforme (U87MG) cell lines. Similar inhibitory activity was also evident in p53 knockdown U87MG GBM cells. Furthermore, lead compounds showed limited growth inhibition in vitro against normal primary human CD34+hematopoietic progenitor cells. Taken together, the present findings indicate that these curcumin analogs are viable lead compounds for the development of new central and peripheral nervous system cancer chemotherapeutics with the potential for little effects on normal hematopoietic progenitor cells.     

Structure-activity relationship study of arylsulfonylimidazolidinones as anticancer agents

In an effort to find novel N-arylsulfonylimidazolidinones as highly potent anticancer agent, the structure-activity relationship of ethyl 2-methyl-4-(2-oxo-4-phenylimidazolidin-1-ylsulfonyl)phenylcarbamate was explored through synthesis and evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity of its analogs against HCT116, A549 and NCL-H460 cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized derivatives, the carbamate analogs (4a-f and 4k-p) exhibited superior cytotoxicity to doxorubicin for all cancer cell lines. The SAR studies of these derivatives confirm that the intact 4-phenyl-l-benzenesulfonylimidazolidinone has a pivotal role as a basic pharmacophore and hydrophobic substitutions only at 2-position of 1-aminobenzenesulfonyl moiety are beneficial for the enhancement of the activity.
