    Novel 1,2,4-triazoles derived from Ibuprofen: synthesis and in vitro evaluation of their mPGES-1 inhibitory and antiproliferative activity
    (2022-11-01) BİNGÖL ÖZAKPINAR, ÖZLEM; KULABAŞ, NECLA; TATAR, ESRA; KÜÇÜKGÜZEL, İLKAY; Bulbul B., Ding K., Zhan C., Ciftci G., YELEKÇİ K., Gurboga M., BİNGÖL ÖZAKPINAR Ö., Aydemir E., Baybag D., ŞAHİN F., et al.
    Some novel triazole-bearing ketone and oxime derivatives were synthesized from Ibuprofen. In vitro cytotoxic activities of all synthesized molecules against five cancer lines (human breast cancer MCF-7, human lung cancer A549, human prostate cancer PC-3, human cervix cancer HeLa, and human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell lines) were evaluated by MTT assay. In addition, mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (NIH/3T3) were also evaluated to determine the selectivity. Compounds 18, 36, and 45 were found to be the most cytotoxic, and their IC50 values were in the range of 17.46-68.76 mu M, against the tested cancer cells. According to the results, compounds 7 and 13 demonstrated good anti-inflammatory activity against the microsomal enzyme prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) enzyme at IC50 values of 13.6 and 4.95 mu M. The low cytotoxicity and non-mutagenity of these compounds were found interesting. Also, these compounds significantly prevented tube formation in angiogenesis studies. In conclusion, the anti-inflammatory and angiogenesis inhibitory activities of these compounds without toxicity suggested that they may be promising agents in anti-inflammatory treatment and they may be supportive agents for the cancer treatment.

    Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of novel 2-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylthio)acetamide derivatives as inducers of apoptosis in cancer cells
    (ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2016) ÖZSAVCI, DERYA; Kulabas, Necla; Tatar, Esra; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Ozsavci, Derya; Pannecouque, Christophe; De Clercq, Erik; Kucukguzel, Ilkay
    In this study, a series of thiosemicarbazide derivatives 12-14, 1,2,4-triazol-3-thione derivatives 15-17 and compounds bearing 2-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylthio)acetamide structure 18-32 have been synthesized starting from phenolic compounds such as 2-naphthol, paracetamol and thymol. Structures and purity of the target compounds were confirmed by the use of their chromatographic and spectral data besides microanalysis. All of the synthesized new compounds 12-32 were evaluated for their anti-HIV activity. Among these compounds, three representatives 18, 19 and 25 were selected and evaluated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) against the full panel of 60 human cancer cell lines derived from nine different cancer types. Antiproliferative effects of the selected compounds were demonstrated in human tumor cell lines K-562, A549 and PC-3. These compounds inhibited cell growth assessed by MTT assay. Compound 18,19 and 25 exhibited anti-cancer activity with IC50 values of 5.96 mu M (PC-3 cells), 7.90 mu M (A549/ATCC cells) and 7.71 mu M (K-562 cells), respectively. After the cell viability assay, caspase activation and Bcl-2 activity of the selected compounds were measured and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected. Compounds 18, 19 and 25 showed a significant increase in caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner. This was not observed for caspase-8 activity with compound 18 and 25, while compound 19 was significantly elevated only at the dose of 50 mu M. In addition, all three compounds significantly decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and expression of Bcl-2. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

    Synthesis and Biological Activity of N-(arylsulfonyl) Valine Hydrazones and Assistance of NMR Spectroscopy for Definitive 3D Structure
    (BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2019) TATAR, ESRA; Senkardes, Sevil; Tatar, Esra; Nepravishta, Ridvan; Cela, Dorisa; Paci, Maurizio; Ozakpinar, Ozlem Bingol; Sekerler, Turgut; De Clercq, Erik; Pannecouque, Christophe; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Kucukguzel, Ilkay
    Background: Hydrazide-hydrazones constitute an important class of compounds for new drug development. In this study, a series of 39 new acylhydrazones (3-41), derived from (2S)-3-methyl-2-[[( 4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]amino]butanoic acid hydrazide were synthesized with further aim to achieve biologically active acylhydrazones carrying an amino acid side chain. Methods: Compounds 3-41 were synthesized by microwave-assisted method. All synthesized compounds have been tested for their anti-HIV activity compound 21 was subjected to a new set of 2D-NMR analysis for the characterization of the isomers in solution and determination of its 3D structure. Results: The IC50 values for compounds 2-40 were found between >125-10.90 mu g/ml against HIV-1( IIIB) and HIV-2(ROD) strains in MT-4 cells. Compounds 3, 6, 10, 12, 23, 24, 27, 32, and 37 with CC50 values between 10.90-14.50 mu g/ml were selected to evaluate for their antileukemia activity. IC50 values for these mentioned compounds were found as >100 mu M on human chronic myelogenous leukemia, K562 cell line. Conclusion: Some compounds with IC50 values between 10.90-14.50 mu g/ml will be of benefit in the development of novel leads.

    Synthesis, in vitro and in silico studies on novel 3-aryloxymethyl-5-[(2-oxo-2-arylethyl)sulfanyl]-1,2,4-triazoles and their oxime derivatives as potent inhibitors of mPGES-1
    (2023-01-01) KULABAŞ, NECLA; TATAR, ESRA; KÜÇÜKGÜZEL, İLKAY; BİNGÖL ÖZAKPINAR, ÖZLEM; Erensoy G., Ding K., Zhan C., Çiftçi G., Yelekçi K., Duracık M., Bingöl Özakpınar Ö., Aydemir E., Yılmaz Z. N. , Şahin F., et al.
    Human microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES)-1 is a glutathione-dependent membrane-bound enzyme which is involved in the terminal stage of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. It has been well reported as a key target for the discovery of new anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drugs. Specific inhibitors of mPGES-1 are anticipated to selectively restrain the generation of PGE2 induced by the inflammatory stimuli, without obstructing of the regular biosynthesis of other homeostatic prostanoids. Therefore, the design of mPGES-1 inhibitors can represent a better choice to take control of PGE2 associated diseases, compared with conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, which are known for their serious side effects. Although there is an intensive effort for the identification of mPGES-1 inhibitors, none of the unveiled molecules so far have reached the clinical market. Therefore, the development of novel mPGES-1 inhibitors with proper drug-like properties is still an unmet medical need. As a continuation of our research for the identification of new chemotypes which might inhibit this enzyme, we now report the design and synthesis of 3-aryloxymethyl-5-[(2-oxo2-arylethyl)sulfanyl]-1,2,4-triazoles and their oxime derivatives as inhibitors of human mPGES-1. All synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR (for compounds 12, 14, 15, 26, 27), HMBC (for compounds 6, 7, 8, 16, 19, 23, 28), and MS data. Twenty-four target compounds 7–30 were screened for their mPGES-1/COX-2 inhibitory activities as well as their cytotoxicity. Of these compounds, 20 and 24 showed potent mPGES-1 inhibition by IC50 values of 0.224±0.070 μM and 1.08±0.35 μM, respectively. These two compounds have also been observed to inhibit angiogenesis in matrigel tube formation assay with no toxicity toward HUVEC cells. In silico studies were also held to understand inhibition mechanisms of the most active compounds using molecular docking, molecular dynamics calculations and ADMET predictions.
