In this study, four 1-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) derived from phenolic aldehydes were synthesized by phosphate buffer mediated Pictet-Spengler reaction. All derivatives were chemically and structurally characterized by elemental CHN analysis and spectroscopic methods (IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1 H-and 13 C-NMR). 1-Substituted THIQs derived from 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde were described for the first time. In order to cover the diversity of the mechanistic approach, but also to establish the relationship between structure and activity, antioxidant activity was examined by five different in vitro methods, namely: neutralization and reduction of stable free radicals 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and radical cation derived from [(2,2´-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)], ferric reducing antioxidant power, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, and ability to chelate Fe(II) ions. In vitro inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was examined by the Ellman's colorimetric method, while computer-simulated docking was used to reveal the preferred binding site and major interaction between AChE and THIQs. Antibacterial testing was examined using the agar well method and results were presented in the form of zones of inhibition (mm).","PeriodicalId":19553,"journal":{"name":"Organic Communications","volume":"20 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139206312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modeling studies were carried out to determine peptide sequences. RhB-K*FFF, RhB-K*WFE, and RhB-K*YDY peptides have been synthesized by using the Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) method, purified by Reverse Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) and characterized by Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR). The purity of RhB-K*FFF, RhB-K*WFE, and RhB-K*YDY peptide are 96%, 95%, and 92%, respectively. Also, cell viability test was performed for the peptides. In our further study, the peptide with highest binding affinity will be conjugated with chemotherapeutic agent in order to improve its anti-cancer activity.","PeriodicalId":19553,"journal":{"name":"Organic Communications","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antiproliferative effects of synthesized 6a-d and 7a-d compounds on (ER+) MCF-7 and (ER-) MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line and human fibroblast WI-38 healthy cell line were investigated by the MTT method. The results showed that compound 7d was the most potent candidate against both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC 50 = 4.72 µM and 6.37 µM, respectively. To investigate whether antiproliferative effect of the compounds on breast cancer cell lines is dependent on COXs, expressions of COX-1/2 on the MCF-7 cell line were investigated by the Western-Blot technique. Among synthesized compounds, compound 7d increased the expression of both COX-1 and COX-2. The inhibition potential of compounds on COX-1/2 enzymes was investigated by molecular docking compared to inhibitor co-ligand celecoxib in crystal structures of COX-1 (PDB ID: 3KK6) and COX-2 (PDB ID: 3LN1). Docking results indeed showed that compound 7d had a higher binding affinity for both COX-1 and COX-2 active sites. Consequently, the novel oxalamide-based compounds presented here may be important candidate molecules for the development of new COX-dependent antiproliferative agents.","PeriodicalId":19553,"journal":{"name":"Organic Communications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49016106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
