Synthesis and antimetastatic activity evaluation of cinnamic acid derivatives c...
Lima, Graziela Domingues de Almeida; Rodrigues, Michelle Peixoto; Moreira, Gabriela Alves; Mendes, Tiago Antônio de Oliveira; Siqueira, Raoni PaisIt is herein described the preparation and evaluation of antimetastatic activity of twenty-six cinnamic acid derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazolic portions. The compounds were prepared using as the key step the Copper(I)-catalyzed azide (A)-alkyne (A) cycloaddition (C) (CuAAC reaction), also known as click reaction, between alkynylated cinnamic acid derivatives and different benzyl azides. The reactions were c...
Síntese e avaliação da atividade citotóxica de derivados do eugenol contendo nú...
Gazolla, Poliana Aparecida Rodrigues; Teixeira, Róbson Ricardo; Silva, Adalberto Manoel da; Vaz, Boniek Gontijo; Vasconcelos, Géssica AdrianaEugenol is an aromatic compound found in several plant species. It presents important biological activities including cytotoxicity. In this paper, it is described the synthesis and the evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of eugenol derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazole functionalities. Eugenol, extracted via hydrodistillation from dried flower buds of Eugenia caryophyllata (=Syzygium aromaticum), was submitted to...
Synthesis and leishmanicidal activity of eugenol derivatives bearing 1,2,3-tria...
Teixeira, Róbson Ricardo; Gazolla, Poliana Aparecida Rodrigues; Silva, Adalberto Manoel da; Borsodi, Maria Paula Gonçalves; Bergmann, Bartira RossiIn this paper, it is described the synthesis and the evaluation of the leishmanicidal activity of twenty-six eugenol derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazole functionalities. The evaluation of the compounds on promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis (WHOM/BR/75/Josefa) showed that eugenol derivatives present leishmanicidal activities with varying degrees of effectiveness. The most active compound, namely 4-(3-(4-ally...
Trifluoromethyl arylamides with antileukemia effect and intracellular inhibitor...
Siqueira, Raoni Pais; Barros, Marcus Vinícius de Andrade; Barbosa, Éverton de Almeida Alves; Onofre, Thiago Souza; Gonçalves, Victor Hugo SousaThe serine/arginine-rich protein kinases (SRPKs) have frequently been found with altered activity in a number of cancers, suggesting they could serve as potential therapeutic targets in oncology. Here we describe the synthesis of a series of twenty-two trifluoromethyl arylamides based on the known SRPKs inhibitor N-(2-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)isonicotinamide (SRPIN340) and the evaluation of th...

Pereira, Wagner Luiz; Pires, Diego Arantes Teixeira; Teixeira, Róbson Ricardo; Figueroa-Villar, José Daniel; Nascimento, Claudia Jorge doThe keto-enol tautomerism of 3-(2-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-6-oxo-cyclohexen-1-yl)isobenzofuran- 1(3H-one (1), 3-(2-hydroxy-6-oxocyclohex-1-enyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (2), 3-(2- hydroxy- 4-methyl-6-oxocyclohex-1-enyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (3), 3-(2-hydroxy-5-oxocyclopent-1-enyl) isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (4) and 2-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (5) were investigated. We noticed that ...
Synthesis, molecular properties prediction and cytotoxic screening of 3-(2-aryl...
Maia, Angélica Faleiros da Silva; Siqueira, Raoni Pais; Oliveira, Fabrício Marques de; Ferreira, Joana Gasperazzo; Silva, Silma Francielle daIn the present investigation, a collection of nineteen 3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones was synthesized and screened for their cytotoxic activity against a panel of three leukemia cancer cell lines. The compounds were prepared via ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyzed condensation reactions between phthalaldehydic acid and different acetophenones. The reactions were carried out free of solvent and the isobenzofura...
Conformerism, enantiomorphism and double catemer motifs in para-substituted nos...
Teixeira, Róbson Ricardo; Barbosa, Luiz Claudio Almeida; Antolinez, Isabel Valero; Corrêa, Rodrigo de Souza; Martins, Felipe TerraWe have here elucidated the crystal structures of five nostoclide analogues. A common feature in all compounds is a substituent at the para-position of the benzylidene group. Compounds with either bromine (3) or hydroxyl (4) as para-substituent crystallizes with Z’ = 2 as result of conformerism. It was also observed that Z' > 1 in the compound with a para-dimethylamino substituent (1). However, its four crystal...
The Antileishmanial Potential of C-3 Functionalized Isobenzofuranones against L...
Pereira, Wagner Luiz; Vasconcellos, Raphael de Souza; Mariotini-Moura, Christiane; Gomes, Rodrigo Saar; Firmino, Rafaela de CássiaLeishmaniases are diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Clinically, leishmaniases range from cutaneous to visceral forms, with estimated global incidences of 1.2 and 0.4 million cases per year, respectively. The treatment of these diseases relies on multiple parenteral injections with pentavalent antimonials or amphotericin B. However, these pharmaceuticals are either too toxic or expe...
Natural products as source of potential dengue antivirals
Teixeira, Róbson Ricardo; Ricardo, Róbson; Oliveira, Ana Flávia Costa da Silveira; Silva, Adalberto Manoel da; Oliveira, André Silva deDengue is a neglected disease responsible for 22,000 deaths each year in areas where it is endemic. To date, there is no clinically approved dengue vaccine or antiviral for human beings, even though there have been great efforts to accomplish these goals. Several approaches have been used in the search for dengue antivirals such as screening of compounds against dengue virus enzymes and structure-based computat...
Potential antivirals: Natural products targeting replication enzymes of dengue ...
Oliveira, Ana Flávia Costa da Silveira; Teixeira, Róbson Ricardo; Oliveira, André Silva de; Souza, Ana Paula Martins de; Silva, Milene Lopes daDengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are reemergent arboviruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus. During the last several decades, these viruses have been responsible for millions of cases of infection and thousands of deaths worldwide. Therefore, several investigations were conducted over the past few years to find antiviral compounds for the treatment of DENV and CHIKV infect...
