Series of new benzoxepinoisoxazolones 4a-d and pyrazolones 6a-t were prepared by the cyclocondensation of substituted (E)-ethyl 3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]oxepine-4-carboxylates 3a-d with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and phenylhydrazine hydrochlorides 5a-k. Synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro anti-mycobacterial activity and anticancer activity. Ten compounds displayed good anti-mycobacterial activity, among these; compound 4d and 6b found to be potent when compared to standard drug isoniazid. Eleven compounds displayed good anticancer activity and compounds 4b-d displayed equipotent activity on HeLa cell lines when compared to standard drug doxorubicin. Activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 has been measured for compounds 4b-d on HeLa cell lines (apoptosis). This is the first report assigning in vitro anti-mycobacterial, anticancer and structure-activity relationship for this new class of benzoxepinoisoxazolones and pyrazolones.

Article Synopsis
  • A 71-year-old man was found to have lung abnormalities, including a cavitation and nodules, which were diagnosed through CT scans and subsequent tests.
  • The patient tested positive for Mycobacterium heckeshornense, a type of bacteria, and also had primary lung adenocarcinoma, leading to a dual diagnosis of infection and cancer.
  • Treatment involving a triple anti-mycobacterial regimen and chemotherapy proved effective for both conditions, marking the first known case of this specific coexistence in medical literature.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, is a serious health hazard, characterized by tuberculous granuloma formation, which may facilitate bacterial survival. At the same time, the identification of multidrug-resistant and extremely drug-resistant Mtb strains, and the progressive accumulation of mutations in biological targets of frontline antimicrobials, has made TB treatments more difficult. Therefore, new and rapid drug development for TB is warranted.

Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and has been associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The angiogenesis-related VEGFR-2 is a common target between cancer and Mtb. Here, we aimed to synthesize and validate potent dual human VEGFR-2 inhibitors as anticancer and anti-mycobacterial agents.

Rhodanine and its derivatives are an important class of heterocycles with diverse biological properties, including anticancer, antibacterial, and anti-mycobacterial activities. In the present work, four series of new Rhodanine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against carbonic anhydrase I, II, IX, and XII isoforms. Interestingly, the tested compounds exhibited good inhibitory activity against the cytosolic isoform human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) II and tumor-associated hCA IX.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), the causative pathogen of tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death from single infectious agent. Furthermore, its evolution to multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extremely drug-resistant (XDR) strains necessitate de novo identification of drug-targets/candidates or to repurpose existing drugs against known targets through drug repurposing.
