Thirty-eight disulfides containing N-arylacetamide were designed and synthesized in an effort to develop novel urease inhibitors. Biological evaluation revealed that some of the synthetic compounds exhibited strong inhibitory potency against both cell-free urease and urease in intact cell with low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells even at concentration up to 250 μM. Of note, 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(2-fluorophenyl)acetamide) (d7), 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(3,5-difluorophenyl)acetamide) (d24), and 2,2′-dithiobis(N-(3-fluorophenyl)acetamide) (d8) were here identified as the most active inhibitors with IC50 of 0.074, 0.44, and 0.81 μM, showing 32- to 355-fold higher potency than the positive control acetohydroxamic acid. These disulfides were confirmed to bind urease without covalent modification of the cysteine residue and to inhibit urease reversibly with a mixed inhibition mechanism. They also showed very good anti-Helicobacter pylori activities with d8 showing a comparable potency to the clinical used drug amoxicillin. The impressive in vitro biological profile indicated their immense potential as therapeutic agents to tackle H. pylori caused infections.

Monotargeting anticancer agents suffer from resistance and target nonspecificity concerns, which can be tackled with a multitargeting approach. The combined treatment with HDAC inhibitors and PPARγagonists has displayed potential antitumor effects. Based on these observations, this work involves design and synthesis of molecules that can simultaneously target PPARγand HDAC. Several out of 25 compounds inhibited HDAC4, and six compounds acted as dual-targeting agents. Compound 7i was the most potent, with activity toward PPARγEC50 = 0.245 μM and HDAC4 IC50 = 1.1 μM. Additionally, compounds 7c and 7i were cytotoxic to CCRF-CEM cells (CC50 = 2.8 and 9.6 μM, respectively), induced apoptosis, and caused DNA fragmentation. Furthermore, compound 7c modulated the expression of c-Myc, cleaved caspase-3, and caused in vivo tumor regression in CCRF-CEM tumor xenografts. Thus, this study provides a basis for the rational design of dual/multitargeting agents that could be developed further as anticancer therapeutics.

A series of novel α-ketoamide derivatives bearing a vanillin skeleton were designed and synthesized. Bioactivity tests on virus and bacteria were performed. The results indicated that some compounds exhibited excellent antitobacco mosaic virus (TMV) activities, such as compound 34 exhibited an inactivation activity of 90.1percent and curative activity of 51.8percent and compound 28 exhibited a curative activity of 54.8percent at 500 μg mL-1, which is equivalent to that of the commercial ningnanmycin (inactivation of 91.9percent and curative of 51.9percent). Moreover, the in vitro antibacterial activity test illustrated that compounds 2, 22, and 33 showed much higher activities than commercial thiodiazole copper, which could be used as lead compounds or potential candidates. The findings of transmission electron microscopy and molecular docking indicated that the synthesized compounds exhibited strong and significant binding affinity to the TMV coat protein and could obstruct the self-assembly and increment of TMV particles. This study revealed that α-ketoamide derivatives bearing a vanillin skeleton could be used as a novel potential pesticide for controlling the plant diseases.
