Publication Open Access Design and synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure as potent hEGFR inhibitors(2023-01-01) TÜRE, ASLI; KOLCUOĞLU Y., BEKİRCAN O., Fazli H., Sahin E., TÜRE A., AKDEMİR A., Hamarat Sanlier S.© 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.EGFR is one of the important mediators of the signaling cascade that determines key roles in various biological processes such as growth, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis in the cell in response to external and internal stimuli. In recent years, it has been proven that although this enzyme activity is tightly regulated in normal cells, if the enzyme activity cannot be controlled, it can lead to malignancy. EGFR is also considered a prominent macromolecule in targeted cancer chemotherapy. For this purpose, a comprehensive modeling studies were conducted against EGFR protein and novel molecules containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure were suggested to be synthesized. Among the synthesized molecules, compounds 7c, 8c, 8f and 8g were determined to have significant IC50 values. Compound 8g was found to have the IC50 value closest to the very well-known EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib with its noncompetitive inhibition form. K i value of compound 8g was calculated as 0.00232 µM.

In this study, cytotoxic properties of thirty-two imatinib analogues featuring (thio)urea motifs have been evaluated against chronic myeloid leukemia (K562), Burkitt lymphoma (Raji) and mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH 3T3) cells. IC50 values of selected eleven compounds were calculated against K562 and NIH 3T3 cells. Apoptotic properties of the most active three compounds were evaluated on K652 cells subsequently. Favorably, compounds 19, 31 and 32 induced early apoptotic changes on K562 cells. Loss of membrane potential as well as caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation was determined in the present study. Levels of anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 decreased after the implementation of compounds 19, 31 and 32 at 10 mu M and 50 mu M concentrations. To reveal further molecular insight into the anticancer activity of the compounds, compounds 19, 31 and 32 were docked into ABL kinase protein as imatinib shows anticancer activity by inhibiting this enzyme. Modeling studies demonstrated significant molecular interactions between compounds 19, 31 and 32 and ABL protein. Compounds 19, 31 and 32 showed excellent superposition with imatinib in the binding site of ABL. These findings suggest that compounds 19, 31 and 32 have potential to show anticancer activity against chronic myeloid leukemia.Publication Metadata only Synthesis and evaluation of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole-fluoroquinolone hybrids as antibacterial, antituberculosis, and anticancer agents(SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY-TUBITAK, 2018) TÜRE, ASLI; Demirci, Asli; Karayel, Kaan Gokce; Tatar, Esra; Oktem Okullu, Sinem; Unubol, Nihan; Tasli, Pakize Neslihan; Kocagoz, Zuhtu Tanil; Sahin, Fikrettin; Kucukguzel, IlkayA series of 5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazole-based fluoroquinolone derivatives were designed as potential antibacterial and anticancer agents using a molecular hybridization approach. The target compounds 16-25 were synthesized by reacting the corresponding N-(5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-chloroacetamides with ciprofloxacin or norfloxacin. The purity and identity of the synthesized compounds were determined by the use of chromatographic and spectral techniques (NMR, IR, MS, etc.) besides elemental analysis. Antibacterial, antituberculosis, and anticancer activity of the target compounds were evaluated against selected strains and cancer cell lines. Compound 20 was appreciated as the most active agent representing antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 4 mu g/mL and 2 mu g/mL, respectively. Amongst the synthesized fluoroquinolone derivatives, compounds 19 and 20 were found to have modest antitubercular activity with 8 mu g/mL MIC values for each. Most potent derivative, compound 20 was docked against Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase enzymes to visualize the possible conformation of the compound. Additionally, anticancer activities of target compounds were evaluated on seven different cancer cell lines.
