A series of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole-indole hybrids were synthesized via a high-order multicomponent reaction consisting of an Ugi-azide/Pd/Cu-catalyzed hetero-annulation cascade sequence. This operationally simple one-pot protocol allowed high bond-forming efficiency and creating six new bonds (two C-C, three C-N, and one N-N). Additionally, the products were evaluated against breast cancer MCF-7 cells, finding moderate activity in the compounds substituted with fluorine and chlorine.

Article Synopsis
  • Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies help understand how changes in chemical structure affect biological activity, specifically in fluoroquinolones, which can be modified to create new antibacterial analogs.
  • The research aimed to find a C-7 heterocycle fluoroquinolone analogue with similar antibacterial effects as a reference fluoroquinolone through a series of experiments, including in vitro, in silico, and in vivo evaluations.
  • The study identified 7-benzimidazol-1-yl-fluoroquinolone as the most effective compound against various bacteria, showing no cytotoxicity to non-bacterial cells and successfully reducing bacteria in infected wound tissue in a mouse model.

Aims: Perform the synthesis of novel fluoro phenyl triazoles click chemistry with or without microwave irradiation and their evaluation as anti-proliferative agents in SiHa cells.

Background: Triazoles are heterocyclic compounds containing a five-member ring with two carbon and three nitrogen atoms. They are of great importance since many of them have shown to have biological activity as antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-HIV, anti-tuberculosis, vasodilator, and anticancer agents.

The exposure to air pollutants causes significant damage to health, and inefficient cooking and heating practices produce high levels of household air pollution, including a wide range of health-damaging pollutants such as fine particles, carbon monoxide and PAHs. The exposure to PAHs has been associated with the development of neoplastic processes, asthma, genotoxicity, altered neurodevelopment and inflammation. The effects on the induction of proinflammatory cytokines are attributed to the activation of .

This study was designed to synthesize hybridizing molecules from ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin by enhancing their biological activity with tetrazoles. The synthesized compounds were investigated in the interaction with the target enzyme of fluoroquinolones (DNA gyrase) and COVID-19 main protease using molecular similarity, molecular docking, and QSAR studies. A QSAR study was carried out to explore the antibacterial activity of our compounds over Staphylococcus aureus a QSAR study, using descriptors obtained from the docking with DNA gyrase, in combination with steric type descriptors, was done obtaining suitable statistical parameters ( , , and ) to support our results.
