Background: Hetero atom containing compounds are well studied class of organic compounds exhibits variety of properties and applications. Design and synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds are always of great interest in synthetic and medicinal organic chemistry. Benzothiazole or 2-aminobenzothiazole scaffold based derivatives were reported to display a wide range of biological activities including anticancer, anti-tubercular, antiviral, fungicidal, etc. On the other hand, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were permit to increase their biological activities due to H-bonding with receptors. These derivatives possess diverse biological activities which include anticancer, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and antidepressant etc. Due to interesting biological activity information of about these hetero cyclic moieties, benzothiazole/2-aminobenzothiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles moieties, we chose to design a new series of heterocyclic compounds by mimicking these two types of scaffolds in a single molecule for our study. Methods: The 1,3,4-oxadiazole linked benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized by condensation of, 2-(4-(5-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)acetohydrazide and POCl3 under reflux conditions. All these ten compounds structures were confirmed by spectral data 1H & 13C NMR, Mass, CHN analysis etc. Further, these compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines, A549, MCF7, A375 and HT-29 in comparison to CA4 as a reference drug. We also carried out docking studies of these compounds in the Colchicines binding site of Tubulin (PDB_ID: 1SA0) using Glide docking tool indicated that the ligands show good interactions with active site residues. Results: A new series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole fused benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized successfully in totally six steps starting with 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride. All these newly synthesized compounds structures were confirmed by spectral studies and elemental analysis. As we designed for anticancer activity, they were assessed for their anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines in comparison to a reference drug CA4. As expected, all the ten compounds exhibited anticancer activities against four cancer cell lines with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging from 0.01 µM to 12.3 µM. The docking studies indicated all the compounds exhibited good binding energies with the receptor. Conclusion: In this study we designed a new series heterocyclic compounds by mimicking two types of scaffolds benzothiazole/2-aminobenzothiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles moieties in a single molecule based on their biological activity in the literature. They were synthesized successfully and molecular structures were confirmed by spectral studies. As expected, all the compounds exhibited anticancer activities against four cancer cell lines. This study can provide a roadmap for design and synthesis of new drug molecules for antitumor and anticancer activity.
ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeni sübstitüe 5-[morfolino(fenil)metil]-tiyazolidin-2,4-dionların sentezi ve in vivo hipoglisemik ve in vitro antienflamatuvar aktivitelerinin taranması ile olası aktif moleküller için moleküler doking çalışmalarının yapılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bileşikler; sübstitüe aromatik aldehidler, tiyazolidin-2,4-dion ve morfolinin mannich reaksiyonu sonucu elde edilmiş, elde edilen bileşikler fiziksel ve spektral yöntemlerle karakterize edilmiştir. İn vivo hipoglisemik aktivite, alloxan ile indüklenen Wistar albino farelerde "tail Objectives: The aim was the synthesis of novel substituted 5-[morpholino(phenyl)methyl]-thiazolidine-2,4-diones and screening for their in vivo hypoglycemic activity and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity, as well as molecular docking studies to find out active potential lead molecules. Materials and Methods: Substituted aromatic aldehydes, thiazolidine-2,4-dione, and morpholine on Mannich reaction gave the title compounds. They were characterized by physical and spectral methods. In vivo hypoglycemic activity was examined in alloxan induced Wistar albino rats by tail tipping method. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity was tested by human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization and protein denaturation. Using AutoDock, molecular docking studies were carried out to find out the best fit ligands. Results: Series of substituted 5-[morpholino(phenyl)methyl]-thiazolidine-2,4-diones were synthesized and chemically they were confirmed by spectral techniques. Acute toxic studies of in vivo hypoglycemic activity results revealed that compounds 4c, 4h, and 4n exhibited good activity at 35 mg/kg body weight. Chronic toxic study results indicated that compounds 4h and 4n exhibited good activity at 70 mg/kg body weight. Antiinflammatory activity results indicated the highest inhibition was shown by compounds 4k and 4f at 500 µg/mL in HRBC membrane stabilization. In protein denaturation, the highest inhibition was shown by compound 4k at 500 µg/mL. In molecular docking studies, compounds 4h and 4n exhibited higher binding affinity at PPARγ receptor protein and compound 4k exhibited higher binding affinity at COX-1 and COX-2 actives sites. Conclusion: Microwave irradiation produced high yield in short reaction times. The presence of electron releasing groups at the para position of the phenyl ring may give the ability to produce hypoglycemic activity and the presence of electron withdrawing groups at the para position of the phenyl ring causes anti-inflammatory activity. The results showed that some compounds exhibited good hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory activities. Compounds 4h and 4n exhibited higher binding affinity at PPARγ receptor protein and compound 4k exhibited higher binding affinity at COX isoenzymes' active sites in molecular docking studies.
