AB  - In the present work, the α, β-double bond of the aroylacrylic acid phenylamides was suitably modified to optimize the toxicity–antiproliferative activity ratio of the resulting compounds 1 –5 . The phenylamides were modified by Michael’s addition of suitably chosen piperidine-containing fragments: 1-amino-N- benzylpiperidine ( a1 ), 4-benzylpiperidine ( a2 ), and N , N -dimethyl- N -[2-(1-piperazinyl)-ethyl]amine ( a3 ). The compounds exerted micromolar activity toward three cancer cell lines, A549, LoVo, and Skov-3, caus- ing apoptotic cell death. It was shown that the nature of the cyclic amine moiety at position C2 of the compounds is probably the primary determinant of anticancer activity toward tested cell lines and the acute toxicity toward brine shrimp ( Artemia salina ). The majority of compounds revealed the ability to vigorously induce mitochondrial superoxide anion generation in all treated cell lines, which together with cell cycle arrest at the S phase and activation of intrinsic caspase cascade, indicates the possibility that apoptosis was triggered due to irreparable chromosomal damage by acute oxidative stress. Two deriva- tives also exerted significant antibacterial activity with one order of magnitude higher potency than chlo- ramphenicol in most of the investigated bacterial strains. Also, the drug-like properties for all compounds were estimated by available software tools.

AB  - Congeneric set of thirty-eight 4-aryl-4-oxo-2-(N-aryl/cycloalkyl)butanamides has been designed, synthesized and evaluated for acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Structural variations included cycloalkylamino group attached to C2 position of butanoyl moiety, and variation of amido moiety of molecules. Twelve compounds, mostly piperidino and imidazolo derivatives, inhibited AChE in low micromolar range, and were inactive toward BChE. Several N-methylpiperazino derivatives showed inhibition of BChE in low micromolar or submicromolar concentrations, and were inactive toward AChE. Therefore, the nature of the cycloalkylamino moiety governs the AChE/BChE selectivity profile of compounds. The most active AChE inhibitor showed mixed-type inhibition modality, indicating its binding to free enzyme and to enzyme-substrate complex. Thorough docking calculations of the seven most potent AChE inhibitors from the set, showed that the hydrogen bond can be formed between amide -NH- moiety of compounds and -OH group of Tyr 124. The 10 ns unconstrained molecular dynamic simulation of the AChE- compound 18 complex shows that this interaction is the most persistent. This is, probably, the major anchoring point for the binding.

AB  - The reactivity of fifteen (E)-4-aryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic (aroylacrylic) acid arylamides toward thiols was studied, measuring the rate constants of the addition of model thiol nucleophile, 2-mercaptoethanol. The influence of the variation of the substituents on the phenyl rings on the rate of reaction was quantified using the Hammett substituent constants and descriptors derived from ab initio or semiempirical calculations (atomic charges, HOMO, and LUMO). Statistically significant linear correlations between second-order rate constants and Hammett substituent constants, as well as energies of LUMO orbitals, were obtained. Substituents on both aroyl and arylamido moieties were shown to influence the reactivity of studied compounds toward thiols. The regioselectivity of reaction was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Exclusively beta-addition product with respect to the aroyl keto group was obtained. The determined enthalpy and entropy of activation were found to be in agreement with the proposed reaction mechanism, which includes a highly ordered transition state.

AB  - Antiproliferative activity of twenty-nine (E)-4-aryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid amides against three human
tumor cell lines (HeLa, FemX, and K562) is reported. Compounds showed antiproliferative activity in
one-digit micromolar to submicromolar concentrations. The most active derivatives toward all the cell
lines tested bear alkyl substituents on the aroyl moiety of the molecules. Fourteen compounds showed
tubulin assembly inhibition at concentrations <20 mM. The most potent inhibitor of tubulin assembly
was unsubstituted compound 1, with IC50 ¼ 2.9 mM. Compound 23 had an oral LD50 in vivo of 45 mg/kg in
mice. Cell cycle analysis on K562 cells showed that compounds 1, 2 and 23 caused accumulation of cells
in the G2/M phase, but inhibition of microtubule polymerization is not the principal mode of action of
the compounds. Nevertheless, they may be useful leads for the design of a new class of antitubulin
agents.

was unsubstituted compound 1, with IC50 ¼ 2.9 mM. Compound 23 had an oral LD50 in vivo of 45 mg/kg in
mice. Cell cycle analysis on K562 cells showed that compounds 1, 2 and 23 caused accumulation of cells
in the G2/M phase, but inhibition of microtubule polymerization is not the principal mode of action of
the compounds. Nevertheless, they may be useful leads for the design of a new class of antitubulin
agents.",

AB  - Title molecule, recently prepared in our laboratory comprises the pharmacophoric pattern of the BH3 domain inhibitors. Such compounds were extensively studied as the antiproliferative agents. In this communication we present its conformational preferences in the solvents of different polarity and HBD/HBA abilities. NOESY spectra of compound were recorded in DMSO-d6 and CDCl3. NOESY cross-peaks and coupling constants were processed by NAMFIS analysis and results compared with the conformational assembly and the free-energy surfaces of compound obtained by molecular dynamics simulations in the corresponding explicit solvents. Adaptive biasing force was used to map free-energy surfaces. Janocchio program was used for the NAMFIS analysis, molecular dynamics simulations (30 ns, each) were performed in NAMD 2.9 using CHARMm22 force field on the multi-node Linux cluster. Conformations of the compound were generated by OMEGA program.

AB  - For the first time, complexes of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Co(II) (1-3) with N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes adopt tetrahedral, pentagonal-bipyramidal and octahedral geometry, respectively. The structure of the polymeric cadmium complex was resolved by single crystal X-ray analysis. The cadmium ion has a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination formed by two water molecules and two N-benzyloxycarbonylglycinato ligands (N-Boc) coordinated in different fashions, one as bidentate and the second connecting three cadmium atoms. In a rather complicated 2D supramolecular structure, the phenyl rings interact mutually exclusively by the CH⋯π interactions. Investigation of the antimicrobial activity of the obtained complexes and N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine revealed that the ligand does not inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, whereas the newly synthesized complexes suppress the growth of this human fungal pathogen.
