A new series of 1,2,3-triazole-oxydianiline-maleimide hybrids 12-15 was synthesized by using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of N-Arylmaleimides 6-9 with 4,4'-oxybis(azidobenzene) 11 under an efficient and free catalytic reaction. All the newly synthesized hybrids were characterized by their 1H NMR, F-TIR, Mass spectral data and melting points. The cytotoxic activities (in vitro) of selected hybrids against esophageal cancer of human cell line (SKG) were evaluated by MTT assay. Among them, hybrid 13 exhibited a potent inhibition activity with the IC50 value of 1.61±0.01 μM against esophageal cancer cell (SKG). Cellular mechanism investigations in esophageal carcinoma cells (SKG) elucidated that hybrid 13 inhibited cell growths in vitro and arrested cell cycle at an environmental phase. These results revealed that hybrid 13 holds a promising anticancer agent with the enhancement of further clinical applications in drug discovery field.

The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a major role in many physiological processes, and its action is quickly terminated via enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL). Regulating its endogenous level could offer therapeutic opportunities; however, few selective MGL inhibitors have been described so far. Here, we describe the synthesis of N-substituted maleimides and their pharmacological evaluation on the recombinant human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and on the purified human MGL. A few N-arylmaleimides were previously described (Saario, S. M.; Salo, O. M.; Nevalainen, T.; Poso, A.; Laitinen, J. T.; Jarvinen, T.; Niemi, R. Characterization of the Sulfhydryl-Sensitive Site in the Enzyme Responsible for Hydrolysis of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Rat Cerebellar Membranes. Chem. Biol. 2005, 12, 649-656) as MGL inhibitors, and along these lines, we present a new set of maleimide derivatives that showed low micromolar IC50 and high selectivity toward MGL vs FAAH. Then, structure-activity relationships have been investigated and, for instance, 1-biphenyl-4-ylmethylmaleimide inhibits MGL with an IC50 value of 790 nM. Furthermore, rapid dilution experiments reveal that these compounds act as irreversible inhibitors. In conclusion, N-substituted maleimides constitute a promising class of potent and selective MGL inhibitors.

In the field of our research programs concerning novel antimicrobial agents, a series of N-substituted imides was synthesized. These compounds were obtained by cyclization of amido-acids in acetic anhydride/sodium acetate or hexamethyldisilazane/zinc bromide for the hydroxy-aromatic derivatives. The hydroxy-alkyl maleimides were directly prepared by condensation of the corresponding amino-alcohol with maleic anhydride in boiling toluene. Most of N-substituted maleimides showed an interesting antimicrobial activity towards bacteria from the ATCC collection (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) but the MIC values for P. aeruginosa were always high (128 μg/ml). The imides with alkyl substituents showed higher activities than aromatic analogues with MIC values in the range of 8-32 μg/ml. Comparatively, succinimides were practically inactive.
