    Considering the promising antitumor effects of compounds with dual anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities, thus benzophenones analogs (2-7) were evaluated on in vivo anti- inflammatory assay and molecular docking analysis. Those with the best molecular docking results were in vitro evaluated on cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and tested regarding antiproliferative activity. All derivatives displayed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. Among them, the substances 2’-hydroxy-4’-benzoylphenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), 4-hydroxy-4’-methoxybenzophenone (5) and 4’-(4’’-methoxybenzoyl)phenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (7)showed the best values of Glide Score in COX-2 docking evaluation and 4 and 5 selectively inhibited COX-2 and COX-1 in vitro enzymatic assay, respectively. Thus, 4 and 5 were tested against breast cancer (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, Hs578T) and non-small-cell-lung cancer (A549) cell lines. The estrogen-positive MCF-7 cell line was more responsive compared to other tested cell lines. They induced cell cycle arrest at G1/S transition in MCF-7 cell line once there was an increase in G0/G1 population with concomitant reduction of S population. The antiproliferative activity of these substances on MCF-7 was associated with their ability to inhibit cyclin E expression, a critical regulator of G1/S transition. Taken together, the data indicate that 4 and 5 have dual anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities and support further studies to evaluate their antitumor potential.

    Design and synthesis of new benzophenone derivatives with in vivo anti-inflammatory activity through dual inhibition of edema and neutrophil recruitment.

    A series of novel benzophenone derivatives containing a thiazole heterocyclic nucleus were designed by molecular hybridization. Molecular docking studies have demonstrated the inhibitory potential of the designed compounds against cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes. These compounds were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory properties by the croton oil-induced ear edema assay to examine their effect on both prostaglandin (PG) production and neutrophils recruitment. The thiazole derivatives displayed a potent effect in terms of reducing ear edema. The analysis suggested that the presence of 4-phenyl-2-hydrazinothiazole and the absence of C40 -OCH3 on the benzophenone derivative structure are strongly related to the inhibition of PG production. In addition, the derivatives 2e, 3a and 3c concomitantly inhibit PG production and neutrophil recruitment, which may be a mechanism of action better than of common NSAIDs due to their inability to inhibit the neutrophil recruitment. Thus, these compounds can be considered as potential lead compounds toward the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs with an innovating mechanism of action

    Synthesis, chemical characterization and antimicrobial activity of new acylhydrazones derived from carbohydrates.
    (2019) Guilherme, Fernanda Dias; Simonetti, Julia Évelin; Folquitto, Laís Regina dos Santos; Reis, Adriana Cotta Cardoso; Oliver, Josidel Conceição; Dias, Amanda Latercia Tranches; Dias, Danielle Ferreira; Carvalho, Diogo Teixeira; Brandão, Geraldo Célio; Souza, Thiago Belarmino de
    A new series of glycosylated acylhydrazones was synthesized and all the chemical structures were confirmed by High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS), 1 H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1 HNMR; 13C-NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy methods. The mass accuracy between the calculated and found values observed in HRMS analyses were near or lower than 5 ppm, which are acceptable for proposing a molecular formula using this technique. All of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. Five compounds (12, 13, 14, 16 and 19) exerted a modest antifungal activity against the strains evaluated. Derivative 14 showed fungicidal activity against Candida glabrata at 173.8 mM and saccharide unit contributed to the increase of the antifungal potential against this strain. New chemical manipulation of derivative 14 can make it possible to obtain new potentially antimicrobial agents.
