    Design, Synthesis, and Anticancer Evaluation of Hemithioindigos via Inhibition of Human Topoisomerases
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023-11-06T00:00:00) Kaur, Manpreet; Suman, Prabhat; Arora, Sahil; Singh, Tashvinder; Munshi, Anjana; Singh, Sandeep; Kumar, Raj
    Hemithioindigos were designed as topoisomerase inhibitors, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer properties against lung (A549) and breast (MDA-MB-468 and MCF7) cancer cell lines. Among all the synthetics, three compounds exerted potential anticancer effects on A549 (lung) and MCF7 (breast) cancer cell lines at low micromolar concentrations. The results revealed that two of these compounds blocked the cancer cells at the G1/S phase, while the third compound showed moderate G2/M inhibition, leading to necrotic cell death. Finally, the topoisomerase inhibition assays revealed their potent Topo I/II inhibitory actions as one of the primary anticancer mechanisms. Molecular docking studies further corroborated these findings. � 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.

    Electro-organic synthesis of C-5 sulfenylated amino uracils: Optimization and exploring topoisomerase-I based anti-cancer profile
    (Academic Press Inc., 2023-06-10T00:00:00) Rani, Payal; Chahal, Sandhya; Kumar, Roshan; Mayank; Kumar, Parvin; Negi, Arvind; Singh, Rajvir; Kumar, Sudhir; Kataria, Ramesh; Joshi, Gaurav; Sindhu, Jayant
    Cancer is spreading worldwide and is one of the leading causes of death. The use of existing chemotherapeutic agents is frequently limited due to side effects. As a result, it is critical to investigate new agents for cancer treatment. In this context, we developed an electrochemical method for the synthesis of a series of thiol-linked pyrimidine derivatives (3a-3p) and explored their anti-cancer potential. The biological profile of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against breast (MDAMB-231 and MCF-7) and colorectal (HCT-116) cancer cell lines. 3b and 3d emerged to be the most potent agents, with IC50 values ranging between 0.98 to 2.45 �M. Target delineation studies followed by secondary anticancer parameters were evaluated for most potent compounds, 3b and 3d. The analysis revealed compounds possess DNA intercalation potential and selective inhibition towards human topoisomerase (hTopo1). The analysis was further corroborated by DNA binding studies and in silico-based molecular modeling studies that validated the intercalating binding mode between the compounds and the DNA. � 2023 Elsevier Inc.

    In silico binding mechanism prediction of benzimidazole based corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonists by quantitative structure activity relationship, molecular docking and pharmacokinetic parameters calculation
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Kumar, N.; Mishra, S.S.; Sharma, C.S.; Singh, H.P.; Kalra, S.
    Despite the various research efforts toward the treatment of stress-related disorders, the drug has not yet launched last 20?years. Corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonists have been point of great interest in stress-related disorders. In the present study, we have selected benzazole scaffold-based compounds as corticotropin releasing factor-1 antagonists and performed 2D and 3D QSAR studies to identify the structural features to elucidating the binding mechanism prediction. The best 2D QSAR model was obtained through multiple linear regression method with r2 value of.7390, q2 value of.5136 and pred_r2 (predicted square correlation coefficient) value of.88. The contribution of 2D descriptor, T_2_C_1 was 60% (negative contribution) and 4pathClusterCount was 40.24% (positive contribution) in enhancing the activity. Also 3D QSAR model was statistically significant with q2 value of.9419 and q2_se (standard error of internal validation) value of.19. Statistical parameters results prove the robustness and significance of both models. Further, molecular docking and pharmacokinetic analysis was performed to explore the scope of investigation. Docking results revealed that the all benzazole compounds show hydrogen bonding with residue Asn283 and having same hydrophobic pocket (Phe286, Leu213, Ile290, Leu287, Phe207, Arg165, Leu323, Tyr327, Phe284, and Met206). Compound B14 has higher activity compare to reference molecules. Most of the compounds were found within acceptable range for pharmacokinetic parameters. This work provides the extremely useful leads for structural substituents essential for benzimidazole moiety to exhibit antagonistic activity against corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptors. ? 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
