In the current work, new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their cytotoxic effects on A549 human lung adenocarcinoma, C6 rat glioma and NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines. Compounds 2, 6 and 9 were found to be the most potent anticancer agents against A549 and C6 cell lines and therefore their effects on apoptosis, caspase-3 activation, Akt, FAK, mitochondrial membrane potential and ultrastructural morphological changes were evaluated. N-(5-Nitrothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[5-[((5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)oxy)methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]thio]acetamide (9) increased early and late apoptotic cell population in A549 and C6 cells more than cisplatin and caused more mitochondrial membrane depolarization in both cell lines than cisplatin. On the other hand, N-(6-methoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[5-[((5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)oxy)methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]thio]acetamide (6) caused higher caspase-3 activation than cisplatin in both cell lines. Compound 6 showed significant Akt inhibitory activity in both cell lines. Moreover, compound 6 significantly inhibited FAK (Phospho-Tyr397) activity in C6 cell line. Molecular docking simulations demonstrated that compound 6 fitted into the active sites of Akt and FAK with high affinity and substrate-specific interactions. Furthermore, compounds 2, 6 and 9 caused apoptotic morphological changes in both cell lines obtained from micrographs by transmission electron microscopy. A computational study for the prediction of ADME properties of all compounds was also performed. These compounds did not violate Lipinski's rule, making them potential orally bioavailable anticancer agents.

In an attempt to develop potent antitumor agents, new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on multiple human cancer cell lines, including the K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line that expresses the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. N-(5-Nitrothiazol-2-yl)-2-((5-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)acetamide (2) inhibited the Abl protein kinase with an IC50 value of 7.4 μM and showed selective activity against the Bcr-Abl positive K562 cell line. Furthermore, a Bcr-Abl-compound 2 molecular modelling simulation highlighted the anchoring role of the nitrothiazole moiety in bonding and hydrophobic interaction with the key amino acid residues. These results provide promising starting points for further development of novel kinase inhibitors.

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complicated neurodegenerative disorder with a multifaceted pathogenesis.AD, characterized by gradual memory loss, falling in language ability and other cognitive deterioration, and has been a prominent risk to ageing population. This means that there is an urgent need to find new lead compounds for controlling and fighting against (AD). In this way, a new thiophene-2-pyrazoline derivatives (A1-A5) and benzothiazole derivatives (A6-A13) have been synthesized to give beneficial compounds to controlling and battling against (AD). Results: Compounds A5 and A13 showed the most remarkable activity with an 18.53 μM and 15.26 μM IC50 values against AChE enzyme. In like manner, compound A4 was active with a 20.34 μM IC50 value against MAO-A. These active compounds are in fact non-toxic making them very attractive for additional future studies. Enzyme kinetic was analyzed and the Lineweaver-Burk plot reveals that compound A13 was typically mixed AChE inhibitors, which showed significant similarity to donepezil. In addition, the best docking pose was done by analyzing the docking pattern of the most active compound A13 which was very compatible with the gorge and in interaction with both CAS and PAS. Conclusion: The synthesis of new thiophene-2-pyrazoline and benzothiazole derivatives targeting AChE/(MAO-A)/(MAO-B) enzymes was described. The selection of enzyme-kinetic analysis, molecular docking and toxicity test was led to good understanding to the therapeutic potential for the active derivatives. Therefore, these compounds may be accepted as promising leads for future research efforts in fighting against AD.
