Several pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-based B-RAF inhibitors are well known and some of them are currently FDA approved as anticancer agents. Based on the structure of these FDA approved V600EB-RAF inhibitors, two series of pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine scaffold were designed and synthesized in attempt to develop new potent V600EB-RAF inhibitors. The 38 synthesized compounds were biologically evaluated for their V600EB-RAF inhibitory effect at single dose (10 μM). Compounds with high percent inhibition were tested to determine their IC50 over V600EB-RAF. Compounds 34e and 35 showed the highest inhibitory effect with IC50 values of 0.085 μM and 0.080 μM, respectively. Headed for excessive biological evaluation, the synthesized derivatives were tested over sixty diverse human cancer cell lines. Only compound 35 emerged as a potent cytotoxic agent against different panel of human cancer cell lines.

In this work, a new series of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole was designed and synthesized. The new compounds are having 3-fluorophenyl at position 6 of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and pyrimidine ring at position 5. The pyrimidine ring containing either amide or sulphonamide moiety attached to a linker (ethyl or propyl) at position 2 of the pyrimidine ring. The final compounds were selected by NCI for in vitro cytotoxicity screening. Most derivatives showed cytotoxic activity against colon cancer and melanoma cell lines. In addition, IC50s of the target compounds were determined over A375 and SK-MEL-28 cell lines using sorafenib as positive control. Compounds12b, 12c, 12e, 12f, 15a, 15d, 15f, 14g and 15h exhibited superior activity when compared to sorafenib. The most potent compounds were tested against wild type BRAF, v600e BRAF, and CRAF. Compound 15h exhibited a potential inhibitory effect againstV600EBRAF (IC50 = 9.3 nM).

The worldwide prevalence of NDM-1-producing bacteria has drastically undermined the clinical efficacy of the last line antibiotic of carbapenems, prompting a need to devise effective strategy to preserve their clinical value. Our previous studies have shown that ebselen can restore the efficacy of meropenem against a laboratory strain that produces NDM-1. Here we report the construction of a focused compound library of 1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one derivatives which comprise a total of forty-six candidate compounds. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds and their potential to serve as an adjuvant to enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of meropenem against a collection of clinical NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates was examined. Drug combination assays indicated that these derivatives exhibited synergistic antimicrobial activity when used along with meropenem, effectively restoring the activity of carbapenems against the resistant strains tested in a Galleria mellonella larvae in vivo infection model. The mode of inhibition of one compound, namely 11_a38, which was depicted when tested on the purified NDM-1 enzyme, indicated that it could covalently bind to the enzyme and displaced one zinc ion from the active site. Overall, this study provides a novel 1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one scaffold that exhibits strong synergistic antimicrobial activity with carbapenems, and low cytotoxicity. The prospect of application of such compounds as carbapenem adjuvants warrants further evaluation.
