    Design, synthesis and evaluation of 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole substituted pyrimidine derivatives as antiproliferative and tubulin polymerization inhibitors
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-06-26T00:00:00) Dwivedi, Ashish Ranjan; Kumar, Vijay; Yadav, Ravi Prakash; Kumar, Naveen; Jangid, Kailash; Anand, Piyush; Sharma, Deepak Kumar; Barnawal, Somesh; Kumar, Vinod
    Ligands binding to the colchicine domain of the tubulin protein act as tubulin polymerization inhibitors and arrest the cell cycle in G2/M phase. A series of 4-Phenyl-1,2,3-triazole substituted pyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative and antitubulin activities. In the series, AV-6 and AV-14 were found to be active against the three tested cancer cell lines wherein AV-6 displayed IC50 values of 1.2 �M, 5.5 �M, and 1.9 �M while AV-14 displayed IC50 values of 4.7 �M, 1.7 �M, and 1.4 �M against HCT-116, MCF-7 and HT-29 cell lines, respectively. These compounds were found to be non toxic to the normal cells (HEK-293). In the cell cycle analysis and JC-1 studies, these compounds induce mitocondria mediated apoptosis. In the tubulin polymerization inhibition studies, AV-6 displayed significant tubulin polymerization inhibition potential. In the molecular docking and simulation studies, these compounds fit well in the active site of colchicine. � 2022 Elsevier B.V.

    Synthesis and screening of novel 4-N-heterocyclic-2-aryl-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazolines as antiproliferative and tubulin polymerization inhibitors
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-08-28T00:00:00) Dwivedi, Ashish Ranjan; Rawat, Suraj Singh; Kumar, Vijay; Kumar, Naveen; Anand, Piyush; Yadav, Ravi Prakash; Baranwal, Somesh; Prasad, Amit; Kumar, Vinod
    Colchicine binding site represent a crucial target for the anticancer drug development especially in view of emerging drug resistance from the currently available chemotherapeutics. A total of 16 novel 4-N-heterocyclic-2-aryl-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazolines were synthesized and screened for antiproliferative and tubulin polymerization inhibition potential. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against MCF-7, HeLa and HT-29 cancer cell lines and normal cell line HEK-293 T. In the series, 2?aryl group with 4?bromophenyl substitution displayed IC50 values of 6.37 �M, 17.43 �M, 6.76 �M and 4?chlorophenyl substitution displayed IC50 values of 2.16 �M, 8.53 �M, 10.42 �M against MCF-7, HELA and HT29 cancer cell lines, respectively. In the mechanistic studies involving cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay and JC-1 studies, both the lead compounds were found to induce mitochondria mediated apoptosis and lead molecule with 4?chlorophenyl substitution displayed significant tubulin polymerization inhibition activity. In the computation studies, lead molecule displayed significant binding affinites in the colchicine domain and showed good thermodynamic stability during 100 ns MD simulation studies. 4-N-Heterocyclic-2-aryl-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazolines showed appreciable drug like characteristics and can be developed as potent anticancer agents. � 2022 Elsevier Ltd

    Advancements in the development of multi-target directed ligands for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-04-05T00:00:00) Kumar, Naveen; Kumar, Vijay; Anand, Piyush; Kumar, Vinay; Ranjan Dwivedi, Ashish; Kumar, Vinod
    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial irreversible neurological disorder which results in cognitive impairment, loss of cholinergic neurons in synapses of the basal forebrain and neuronal death. Exact pathology of the disease is not yet known however, many hypotheses have been proposed for its treatment. The available treatments including monotherapies and combination therapies are not able to combat the disease effectively because of its complex pathological mechanism. A multipotent drug for AD has the potential to bind or inhibit multiple targets responsible for the progression of the disease like aggregated A?, hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, cholinergic and adrenergic receptors, MAO enzymes, overactivated N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), ?-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor etc. The traditional approach of one disease-one target-one drug has been rationalized to one drug-multi targets for the chronic diseases like AD and cancer. Thus, over the last decade research focus has been shifted towards the development of multi target directed ligands (MTDLs) which can simultaneously inhibit multiple targets and stop or slow the progression of the disease. The MTDLs can be more effective against AD and eliminate any possibility of drug-drug interactions. Many important active pharmacophore units have been fused, merged or incorporated into different scaffolds to synthesize new potent drugs. In the current article, we have described various hypothesis for AD and effectiveness of the MTDLs treatment strategy is discussed in detail. Different chemical scaffolds and their synthetic strategies have been described and important functionalities are identified in the chemical scaffold that have the potential to bind to the multiple targets. The important leads identified in this study with MTDL characteristics have the potential to be developed as drug candidates for the effective treatment of AD. � 2022 Elsevier Ltd
