Discovery of tricyclic benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-3-hydroxyindolin-2-one hybrids as selective MAO-B and cholinesterase inhibitors

A series of 13 novel 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole hybrids was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential anti-Alzheimer agents targeting monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) and cholinesterases. The target compounds were obtained by condensing a benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-based ketone wit...

Evaluation of 6-substituted coumarins as SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors: enzymatic, cellular, and computational insights

The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) plays a crucial role in viral replication, making it an attractive target for antiviral drug development. This study evaluates the inhibitory potential of nineteen 6-substituted coumarin derivatives (1a–p and 2a–c) against Mpro using a FRET-based enzymatic assay. Among them, the chlo...

Development of isonicotinoyl-azole hybrids as potential InhA inhibitors for anti-tubercular activity.

The development of innovative treatment medicines that can overcome drug resistance and intracellular persistence is necessary since tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a significant worldwide health burden. In this work, series of hybrid compounds containing azole moieties, imine/semicarbazide linkers, and isonicotinoyl...

Quinazolinone–triazole hybrids as multi-target-directed ligands for Alzheimer's disease: discovery of potent and selective MAO-B inhibitors with cholinesterase modulating activity

A new series of quinazolinone–triazole hybrids (QTHs, 5a–n) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential multi-target-directed ligands for Alzheimer's disease. All synthesized compounds were screened against human monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). The obtained results revealed pronou...

Design and synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-tethered N-substituted isatin hybrids as SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors: biological evaluation, kinetic investigation, and in silico studies

The ongoing emergence of SARS-CoV-2 mutations underscores the urgent need for new antivirals that target key viral proteins. This study describes the design, synthesis, and evaluation of two series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-tethered N-substituted isatin hybrids as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro): 1,2,3-tria...

Mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase in cancer: Structural biology, small-molecule inhibitors, and future drug discovery strategies.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzymes convert isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate. When IDH1 or IDH2 is mutated, the enzyme gains a new function, and the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) accumulates. Its epigenetic and metabolic effects depend on the tumor context. This review classifies mutant IDH inhibitors by...

Striking two targets with one scaffold via benzo[d]imidazole-isatin conjugates as potent dual VEGFR-2/c-MET antagonists.

Chemical 8b may serve as a promising candidate for further anticancer research after demonstrating encouraging dual kinase inhibitory action and exhibiting a favorable selectivity profile for normal MCF-10A cells.

Targeting CDK‐2 With Novel Indole‐Pyrazole Hybrids: Discovery of Potent Anticancer Agents Supported by Mechanistic and In Silico Studies

The consistent binding of compound 5 d within the ATP‐binding pocket of CDK‐2 was confirmed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, and attractive drug‐like and pharmacokinetic features, similar to those of Roscovitine, were demonstrated by in silico ADMET predictions.
