    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.

    Design, Synthesis, and Molecular Docking Studies of a Conjugated-Thiadiazole Thiourea Scaffold as Antituberculosis Agents
    (PHARMACEUTICAL SOC JAPAN, 2016) TATAR, ESRA; Tatar, Esra; Karakus, Sevgi; Kucukguzel, Sukriye Guniz; Okullu, Sinem Oktem; Unubol, Nihan; Kocagoz, Tanil; De Clercq, Erik; Andrei, Graciela; Snoeck, Robert; Pannecouque, Christophe; Kalayci, Sadik; Sahin, Fikrettin; Sriram, Dharmarajan; Yogeeswari, Perumal; Kucukguzel, Ilkay
    In view of the emergence and frequency of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis and consequences of acquired resistance to clinically used drugs, we undertook the design and synthesis of novel prototypes that possess the advantage of the two pharmacophores of thiourea and 1,3,4-thiadiazole in a single molecular backbone. Three compounds from our series were distinguished from the others by their promising activity profiles against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H(37)Rv. Compounds 11 and 19 were the most active representatives with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 10.96 and 11.48 mu m, respectively. Compound 15 was shown to inhibit M. tuberculosis strain H(37)Rv with an MIC value of 17.81 mu m. Cytotoxicity results in the Vero cell line showed that these three derivatives had selectivity indices between 1.8 and 8.7. In order to rationalize the biological results of our compounds, molecular docking studies with the enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) of M. tuberculosis were performed and compounds 11, 15, and 19 were found to have good docking scores in the range of -7.12 to -7.83 kcal/mol.

    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, Ilkay
    A 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.

    Novel 4-Thiazolidinones as Non-Nucleoside Inhibitors of Hepatitis C Virus NS5B RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase
    (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2015) TATAR, ESRA; Cakir, Gizem; Kucukguzel, Ilkay; Guhamazumder, Rupa; Tatar, Esra; Manvar, Dinesh; Basu, Amartya; Patel, Bhargav A.; Zia, Javairia; Talele, Tanaji T.; Kaushik-Basu, Neerja
    In continuation of our efforts to develop new derivatives as hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B inhibitors, we synthesized novel 5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinones. The novel compounds 29-42, together with their synthetic precursors 22-28, were tested for HCV NS5B inhibitory activity; 12 of these compounds displayed IC50 values between 25.3 and 54.1 mu M. Compound 33, an arylidene derivative, was found to be the most active compound in this series with an IC50 value of 25.3 mu M. Molecular docking studies were performed on the thumb pocket-II of NS5B to postulate the binding mode for these compounds.

    Some Hydrazones of 2-Aroylamino-3-methylbutanohydrazide: Synthesis, Molecular Modeling Studies, and Identification as Stereoselective Inhibitors of HIV-1
    (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2013) TATAR, ESRA; Tatar, Esra; Kucukguzel, Ilkay; Daelemans, Dirk; Talele, Tanaji T.; Kaushik-Basu, Neerja; De Clercq, Erik; Pannecouque, Christophe
    In accordance with our antiviral drug development attempt, acylhydrazone derivatives bearing amino acid side chains were synthesized for the evaluation of their antiviral activity against various types of viruses. Among these compounds, 8S, 11S, and 12S showed anti-HIV-1 activity with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50)=123.8 mu M (selectivity index, SI>3), IC50=12.1 mu M (SI>29), IC50=17.4 mu M (SI>19), respectively. Enantiomers 8R, 11R, and 12R were inactive against the HIV-1 strain IIIB. Hydrazones 8S, 11S, and 12S which were active against HIV-1 wild type showed no inhibition against a double mutant NNRTI-resistant strain (K103N;Y181C). Molecular docking calculations of R- and S-enantiomers of 8, 11, and 12 were performed using the hydrazone-bound novel site of HIV-1 RT.

    2-Heteroarylimino-5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinones as a new class of non-nucleoside inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase
    (ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2013-11) TATAR, ESRA; Kucukguzel, Ilkay; Satilmis, Gokhan; Gurukumar, K. R.; Basu, Amartya; Tatar, Esra; Nichols, Daniel B.; Talele, Tanaji T.; Kaushik-Basu, Neerja
    Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase is an important and attractive target for the development of anti-HCV drugs. Here we report on the design, synthesis and evaluation of twenty-four novel allosteric inhibitors bearing the 4-thiazolidinone scaffold as inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase. Eleven compounds tested were found to inhibit HCV NS5B with IC50 values ranging between 19.8 and 64.9 RM. Compound 24 was the most active of this series with an IC50 of 5.6 mu M. A number of these derivatives further exhibited strong inhibition against HCV lb and 2a genotypes in cell based antiviral assays. Molecular docking analysis predicted that the thiazolidinone derivatives bind to the NS5B thumb pocketII (TP-II). Our results suggest that further optimization of the thiazolidinone scaffold may be possible to yield new derivatives with improved enzyme- and cell-based activity. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.
