A series of novel 4,7-dihydroxycoumarin based acryloylcyanohydrazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against four different cancer cell lines (A549, HeLa, SKNSH, and MCF7). Most of the compounds displayed potent cytotoxicity with IC values ranging from 3.42 to 31.28 µM against all the tested cancer cell lines. The most active compound, 8h was evaluated for pharmacological mechanistic studies on cell cycle progression and tubulin polymerization inhibition assay. The results revealed that the compound 8h induced the cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and inhibited tubulin polymerization with IC = 6.19 µM. Experimental data of the tubulin polymerization inhibition assay was validated by molecular docking technique and the results exhibited strong hydrogen bonding interactions with amino acids (ASN-101, TYR-224, ASN-228, LYS-254) of tubulin.

Rice plants are important food crops that are sensitive to cold stress. Microtubules (MTs) are highly associated with plant response to cold stress. The exogenous application of abscisic acid (ABA) can transiently induce the cold stability of microtubules.

One of the mechanisms of calcium signalling in neurons is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), which is activated when the calcium concentration in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) decreases and its protein-calcium sensor STIM (stromal interacting molecule) relocate to the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane junctions, forms clusters and induces calcium entry. In electrically non-excitable cells, STIM1 is coupled with the positive end of a tubulin microtubule through interaction with EB1 (end-binding) protein, which controls its oligomerization, SOCE and participates in ER movement. STIM2 homologue, which is specific for mature hippocampal dendritic spines, is known to interact with EB3 protein, however, not much is known about the role of this interaction in STIM2 clustering or ER trafficking in neurons.

In the current study, a novel series of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activities. A cell-based antiproliferative screening was accomplished on the newly synthesized 1,2,4-oxadiazoles along with our previously reported aryl(alkyl)azoles (AAAs) containing middle heterocyclic cores thiazole and oxazole. Among the tested compounds, naphthyl- thiazoles demonstrated higher antiproliferative activity and B3 was identified as the most potent compound with IC values in the range of 2.

A hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD) and tauopathies, severe neurodegenerative diseases, is the progressive aggregation of Tau, also known as microtubule-associated Tau protein. Full-length Tau, also known as 2N4R, contains two N-terminal inserts that bind to tubulin. This facilitates the self-assembly of tubulin simultaneously enhancing stability of cell microtubules.
