Abstract

In the field of the preparation of chemotherapeutic agents with new mechanism distinct from currently approved drugs is important. The implication of different members of Histone Acetyl Transferase (HAT) in cancer disease is well documented in literature, however the clinically effective approved small inhibitor molecule is still lacking. Previous reports indicated that 4-aryl-2-hydrazinothiazole derivatives provided a useful start point to develop HAT inhibitors. Consequently, preparation and biological evaluation of a focused library of 4-aryl-2- hydrazinothiazole based derivatives as useful as anti-cancer agents. Synthesis of 4-aryl-2-hydrazinothiazoles (1a-d), (2a-d), (3a-c), (4a-b), (5ab), (6a-b) studied by either conventional method and free solvent microwave one pot method, the activity against different cancer cell-lines and the antimicrobial activities against different organisms also studied. It was found that all of the prepared thaizoles derivatives were active toward many cell lines (breast, liver, and prostate) where the more active compounds were 4a, 4b, and 6a. Most of these compounds showed highly activity as antibacterial for gram positive and gram negative. However it showed also antifungal activity. Molecular docking studies guided and proved the biological activities of these novel 4-aryl-2-hydrazinothiazoles. Also Infrared Radiation (IR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C-NMR), Gas chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and elemental analysis were studied.

Introduction

As the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases, cancer is cumbersome health problem. The ultimate cure of cancer is still lacking. Therefore development of new anticancer agents is needed to satisfy clinical needs. This necessitates enhancing the currently available therapeutic toolbox for combating cancer. This might be achieved by development of novel therapeutic agents based on the less exploited validated targets and thus providing novel anticancer agents with new mechanisms of actions. Apparently, this would also assists in overcoming the emerging resistance to anticancer.

Epigenetic modifications control the compactness of chromatin structure and hence accessibility of DNA genes. Accordingly, expression of genes would be affected by these epigenetic modifications which includes alterations of histones via lysine acetylation, lysine and arginine methylation, serine and threonine phosphorylation, and lysine ubiquitination and sumoylation. The process of acetylation of histones is controlled by writers (Histone Acetyl Transferases; HAT) and erasers (Histone Deacetylases; HDAC). While considerable efforts have been directed to HDAC inhibitors as anticancers, few reports are found for development of HAT inhibitors [1]. Based on homology, HATs are classified into several families. One of these families, four are the most studied and understood which are the GNAT family; the p300/CBP family; the MYST family and the Rtt109 family [2]. The role of two members of the GNAT family, namely PCAF and GCN5, is well documented in cancer [3]. In addition, it has been reported that GCN5 plays an important role in cell cycle progression and transcription of the gene of epidermal growth factor [4,5]. Accordingly, inhibition of GCN5 would lead to antiproliferative effect. Furthermore, another two members of HAT, namely p300 and CBP were reported to have important roles in cells’ G1/S transition [6]. Also, down regulation of p300 was found to result in antiproliferative activity in human melanocytes [7]. Consequently, development of histone acetyl transferase inhibitors could result in molecules with potential anticancer activity.

The 4-Aryl-2-hydarzinothiazole nucleus is a promising scaffold for development of HAT inhibitors. Recently, Cyclopentylidene-[4-(4′- chlorophenyl) thiazol-2-yl) hydrazine 1 was reported [8] as HAT inhibitor. It is commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich Company as a research probe modulating GCN5 member of HAT (CAS Number 357649-93-5).

Opening of the cyclopentane ring to afford 1-(4-(4-chlorophenyl) thiazol-2-yl)-2-(propan-2-ylidene) hydrazine 2 was reported to inhibit GCN5 and p300 members of the HATs and possess antiproliferative activity in neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines [9]. These reports indicate that these structures provide a useful starting point to develop anticancer agents based on HAT inhibition mechanism.

Green chemistry, sustainable synthetic efficiency is becoming important issues in contemporary synthetic practice [10]. Abolishing or minimizing the burden of chemical processes on environmental, ecological systems and limited resources is crucial for survival of forthcoming generations. Replacing organic solvents with water minimize harmful wastes of organic synthesis. In addition, reduction of required reaction time would result in less consumption of energy. Minimizing energy input required to achieve chemical transformations is not only an economical issue, which is of course an important issue, but also is crucial to minimize the environmental burden of power generation plants. Microwave assisted synthesis is a promising tool to achieve these goals of sustainable green synthesis. It enables dramatic reduction of reaction time and hence more efficient energy metrics of the chemical process. Moreover, the microwave assisted synthesis of 2-amino-4-arylthiazoles in aqueous medium has been recently developed [11]. Therefore, it is appealing to develop corresponding strategy for green synthesis of the 4- Aryl-2-hydrazinothiazole nucleus of the proposed research [12-15].

Results and Discussions

Chemistry

1- Synthesis of 4-aryl-2-substitutedthiazoles derivatives

2 - Synthesis of 5-aryl-3-substituted thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazoles derivatives

Many attempts were carried out to prepare 1-(4-m-tolylthiazol-2-yl)hydrazine (B) where R = CH3 for derivatives prepared, the first attempt was carried out by conventional method under reflux for 2 h, by refluxing thiocarbohydrazide with, 2-bromo-1-p-tolylethanone in glacial acetic acid [16-19], where the second method was carried out using microwave free reaction for 1.5-2 min. Using the two above compounds without any solvents or liquid media (Schemes 1-5) [20]. The formed compound was confirmed by its Infrared Radiation (IR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C-NMR), and elemental analysis data, the main observation was the presence two broad medium bands one at 600 and the other was at 1400 cm-1, these bands were proved before as a finger print bands as an evidence of the presence of thiazole ring [21]. Not only the time factor or the solvent free factor but also maximum yield product % obtained in comparison to conventional method. The structure of the produced compounds was confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and elemental analysis, [methodology part]. The main goal of this work was reached by the preparation of different compounds of fused or open structure nitrogen system in a hope to reach different active HAT enzymes (Table 1).

Also most of the compounds obtained were racemic as a result of using mechanical thermal energy of domestic microwave. B** intermediate was separated and characterized also which gave indication and proof that the reactions moved in the right way either by conventional method or by microwave irradiation method. The presence of a short medium band between 600-700 cm-1 indicated the presence of aliphatic C-S bond of - S-CH3.

Biology

Bacteria and fungi had developed resistance strains against currently available antimicrobial agents and therefore it is essential for medicinal chemists to design and synthesize novel antimicrobial agents having less toxicity and more potent effects in much lesser time. In continuation to this, chemists have successfully synthesized effective agents based on heterocyclic compounds. The shining examples are furamizole, nasapadil, tazobactam, and cefatrizine. Thiazoles derivatives have various types of pharmacological effects, including antimicrobial [22].

Numerous examples show that thiazoles and its derivatives play an important role in development of antimicrobial agents. Thiazoles derivatives have been synthesized by the condensation of ophenylenediamine with acids, their nitriles, imidates and orthoesters [23]. It had previously synthesized triazines derivatives and had received some exiting antimicrobial results [24,25]. Therefore, it focused on benzimidazole-based thiazoles derivatives which possess diverse chemical structures. These hybrid structures may be useful for the development of antimicrobial agents. The development of efficient preparation of thiazoles and triazines based compounds played a key role in modern organic synthesis [26].

The minimal inhibitory concentration for some of the newly synthesized compounds showed high significance activity against G-positive and G-negative and antifungal activities. Among the screened compounds, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 4a, 5a, and 6a exhibited strong antimicrobial activity [6]. A series of 4-(p-Aryl) -1, 3-thiazol-2-ylhydrazines derivatives are evaluated their antimicrobial activity against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Strepococcus. pyogenes), Gram negative bacteria (Escherchia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and strains of fungi (C. albicans, Asperigillus niger, and Asperigillus clavatus), they showed significant antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms [27].

Antimicrobial

Antibacterial: Table 3 and Figure 1 showed in-vitro experiment for the mean of antimicrobial effects on Gram positive bacteria (SA), that revealed the effect of this dissolved substances as antimicrobial (antibacterial) and were done in the hours of exposures included (1, 3, 5 and 7 h). The mean antimicrobial effects were calculated during the exposure hours and the averages were in descending order by the percentage of the antibacterial as illustrated in Table 3 and Figure 1. Bacteria had developed resistance strains against currently available antimicrobial agents, synthesize novel antimicrobial less toxicity and more potent effects in much lesser time. The shining examples are furamizole, nasapadil, tazobactam, and cefatrizine. Benzimidazoles have various types of pharmacological effects, including antimicrobial [22-26]. The minimal inhibitory concentration for some of the newly synthesized compounds showed high significant activity against Gram positive. Among the screened compounds, the thiazoles derivatives 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 4a, 5a, and 6a exhibited strong antimicrobial activity [25-27].

Anticancer

On the basis of computer modelling technique and the differences in structures of the compounds. As mentioned in literature, many attempts to get HAT inhibitor, New series of 4-Aryl-2-hydrazinothiazole containing nucleus were prepared and investigated toward different thin layers, selected series of the synthetic thiazoles 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 4a, 5a and 6a were tested in vitro anti-cancer assays against three thin lines of breast cancer, liver cancer, and prostate cancer at constant concentration of 1*10-5 M for each compound and the cultured were incubated for 48 h. Then percentage of inhibition of cell growth was compared with untreated control cells.

The percentage of inhibition for each cell line was illustrated in Table 6, it was found that all of them could inhibit the cell growth by varied extents, but in fact the most effective compounds were 5a, 6a.

Molecular Docking Modeling

Molecular modeling studies were performed using Molecular Operating Environment (MOE, 2016) software on an Intel Core i3 processor 1.9 GHz, 4 GB memory with Windows 10, 64-bit operating system (Figure 6). Energy minimizations were performed with RMSD gradient of 0.05 kcal/ mol and MMFF94X force field using MOE and partial charges were automatically calculated. The X-ray crystallographic structures were obtained from Protein Data Bank (PDB), the PDB files are 3eqm, 3cqx, and 4ihz [33]. The target enzymes were prepared for docking by:

Biology

Antimicrobial

Collected the chemical subject samples under study in sterile and dry Eppendorf tubes with the specific information for each sample. Weight the under study quantity of each sample and were dissolved in Acetone, mixed for (2-5) min. Prepared 2 ml of each Acetone dissolved subject in Wizerman tube for each microbe under test and added the data on the tube [34].

Collected the microbial identified isolates as pure and clear colonies, and then made a microbial distilled water suspension of each as McFarland concentration with special information setting [35]. Applied a mixture of (Acetone dissolved subject + microbial suspension), then mix the ingredients and calculated the time. Cultured got from each mixture every time recorded (1, 3, 5 and 7 h), that did on suitable dish media with data recorded on each plate, incubated at (35-37)ºC for (24-48) h. Followed the results of microbial cultures growth and recorded the number of colonies in each dish [36]. Determined the percentage of microbial death by applying the Equation: [(Colony No/300 X 100) -100] [37]. Statistical analysis of the results, calculation of the arithmetic mean for each chemical materials subject samples under study that were showed in the form of tables and graphs [38].

Anticancer

Cell Culture: Many human Cell lines were obtained from Egyptian Holding Company for Biological Products & Vaccines (VACSERA), Giza, Egypt, and maintained in the tissue culture unit. The cells were routinely grown in RBMI-1640 medium, supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 50 units/ml of penicillin and 50 mg/ml of streptomycin and maintained in a humidifiedatmospher containing 5% CO2. They were act as a monolayer culture by serial sub-culturing. The reagents of the cell cultured were obtained from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland). The activity of the compounds under investigation as anticancers was determined against MCF-7 cells (breast cancer), PC-3 (prostate cancer), and HEPG-2 cells (liver cancer) [39].

Cytotoxicity: The sulforhodamine B (SRB) was used to determine Cytotoxicity using assay method as previously described by [40]. Collections of Multitimes growing cells were done by using 0.25% Trypsin EDTA and seeded in 96 well plates at 1000-2000 cells/well in RBMI-1640- supplemented medium. After 24 h, cells were incubated for 72 h with different multiple concentrations of the synthesized under investigation compounds. After 72 h treatments, the cells were fixed with 10% trichloroacetic acid for 1 h at 4°C. Wells were stained for 10 min at room temperature with 0.4% SRBC (sulforhodamine B) dissolved in 1% acetic acid. The plates were subjected to air dried for 24 h, and the dye was solubilized with Tris HCl for 5 min on a shaker at 1600 rpm. OD (the optical density) of each well was measured spectrophotometrically at 564 nm with an ELISA microplate reader (ChroMate, 4300, FL, USA). Calculations of IC50 values were be according to the Boltzmann sigmoidal equation for the response of concentration curve by nonlinear regression fitting models (Graph Pad, Prism Version 5).

Modelling: Molecular docking studies were carried out using the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) docking software [41,42]. The three dimensional (3D) crystal structure of GPb was downloaded from the Protein Data Bank [43,44]. The allosteric site as characterized in the crystal structure of the selected proteins was used as the target site. Before the docking experiment was performed, the compounds prepared for docking by minimizing its energy at the B3LYP/631G (d) level of theory. Partial charges were calculated by Gasteiger’s method. Since most macromolecular crystal structures contain little or no hydrogen coordinate data due to limited resolution, protonation was done prior to docking using Protonate 3D tools implemented in MOE. Protonation was followed by energy minimization up to a 0.05 Gradient using an Amber 99 force field. The compounds were docked into the protein’s active site using the Triangular Matching docking method and thirty conformations of the title compound and protein complex were generated with a docking score (S). The complexes were analyzed for interactions and their 3D images were taken by using visualizing tool PyMol. The docking protocol predicted the same conformation as was present in the crystal structure with an RMSD value within the allowed range of 2.0 Å [45,46]. The superposition of the docked conformation and co-crystalized ligand is shown. Amongst the docked conformations, the top-ranked conformation was visualized for ligand-protein interactions in PyMol software.

Conclusion

In Brief, Synthesis of thaizoles derivatives by domestic microwave method was more efficient than conventional for many reasons like (time, yield, easy ability, solvents, etc.) and also gives us a guide to prepare many compounds by this way. Many of 4-Aryl-2-hydrazinothiazole derivatives were obtained but actually the open structured derivatives were more efficient as antibacterial and as anticancer agents, this may be due the free active N of (NH2, NH-) in some compounds or free (O) especially for 6 series compounds. Molecular docking modelling for the synthesized compounds directed us to the efficiency power of some compounds which is agreed with anticancer and antimicrobial experiments. Some of compounds showed two active sites at docking results which may be later lead us to other investigations for them.
