    Co(II) complexes of 2-picolinic acid (picH) and 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (6-MepicH) {[Co(pic)(2)2H(2)O], (1), [Co(6-Mepic)(pic)2H(2)O], (2)} were obtained and their structural and spectroscopic properties were investigated by XRD, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. The measurement of -glucosidase inhibition of the synthesized complex 2 was fulfilled by IC50 values. In order to provide further explanations about the electronic spectral properties, TD-DFT calculations in ethanol solvent and gas phase were carried out. HSEh1PBE/6-311G(d,p) level has been used to calculate the nonlinear optics (NLO) parameters and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energies. The experimental refractive indexes and optical band gap energies for the Co(II) complexes have been obtained using FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra, respectively. Lastly, the molecular docking study of Co(II) complexes was carried out in order to demonstrate interactions between the synthesized complexes and target protein (the template structure S. cerevisiae isomaltase).

    New thymol and carvacrol derivatives with the carbamate moiety were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) were evaluated. 5-isopropyl-2-methylphenyl(3-fluorophenyl)carbamate (29) was found to be the most potent AChE inhibitor with IC50 values of 2.22 mu M, and 5-isopropyl-2-methylphenyl (4-fluorophenyl)carbamate (30) exhibited the strongest inhibition against BuChE with IC50 value of 0.02 mu M. Additionally, the result of H4IIE hepatoma cell toxicity assay for compounds 18, 20, 29, 30 and 35 showed negligible cell death at 0.07-10 mu M. Moreover in order to better understand the inhibitory profiles of these molecules, molecular modeling studies were applied. Binding poses of studied compounds at the binding pockets of AChE and BuChE targets were determined. Predicted binding energies of these compounds as well as structural and dynamical profiles of molecules at the target sites were estimated using induced fit docking (IFD) algorithms and post-processing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations methods (i.e., Molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) approaches).

    Synthesis, antioxidant and carbonic anhydrase I and II inhibitory activities of novel sulphonamide-substituted coumarylthiazole derivatives
    (2016-01-01) Kurt, BELMA; Sonmez, Fatih; Bilen, Cigdem; Ergun, Adem; Gencer, Nahit; Arslan, Oktay; Kucukislamoglu, Mustafa; ZENGİN KURT, BELMA
    New secondary benzenesulphonamide-substituted coumarylthiazole derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on purified carbonic anhydrase I and II were evaluated using CO2 as a substrate. The result showed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited inhibitory activity on both hCA I and hCA II with N-(4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl) naphthalene-2-sulphonamide (5f, IC50 value of 5.63 and 8.48 mu M, against hCA I and hCA II, respectively) as the strongest inhibitor revealed from this study. Structure-activity relationship revealed that the inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds is related to the type of the halogen and bulky substituent on the phenyl ring. In addition, the cupric reducing antioxidant capacities (CUPRAC) and ABTS cation radical scavenging abilities of the synthesized compounds were assayed. 4-methoxy-N-(4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl) thiazol-2-yl) benzenesulphonamide (5e) exhibited the strongest ABTS and CUPRAC activity with IC50 value of 48.83 mu M and A(0.50) value of 23.29 mu M ,

    Three novel Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) complexes of 6-Methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid with thiocyanate: Synthesis, crystal structures, DFT calculations, molecular docking and alpha-Glucosidase inhibition studies

    Novel complexes of 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid and thiocyanate ([Cu(NCS)(6-mpa)(2)], (1); [Cd(NCS)(6-mpa)](n), (2); [Cr(NCS)(6-mpa)(2)center dot H2O], (3)} were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by XRD analysis, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. The inhibitory activities of the synthesized complexes (1-3) on alpha-glucosidase were determined by using genistein reference compound. Furthermore, the optimized geometry and vibrational harmonic frequencies for the complexes 1-3 were obtained by DFT/HSEh1PBE/6-311G(d,p)/LanL2DZ level. Electronic spectral properties were examined by using TD-DFT/FISEh1PBE/6-311G(d,p)/LanL2DZ level with CPCM model. Additionally, major contributions to the electronic transitions were determined via Swizard program. The refractive index, linear optical and non-nonlinear optical parameters of the complexes 1-3 were investigated at HSEh1PBE/6 -311G(d,p) level. The docking studies of the complexes 1-3 to the binding site of the target protein (the template structure S. cerevisiae isomaltase are fulfilled. Lastly, natural bond orbital analysis was used to investigate inter- and intra-molecular bonding and interaction among bonds. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Synthesis, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies of novel tacrine-carbamate derivatives as potent cholinesterase inhibitors
    (2021-10-01T00:00:00Z) Ozten, Ozge; ZENGİN KURT, BELMA; Sonmez, Fatih; Dogan, Berna; Durdagi, Serdar; ZENGİN KURT, BELMA
    © 2021 Elsevier Inc.In the present study, new tacrine derivatives containing carbamate group were synthesized and their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition activities were evaluated. All synthesized compounds inhibited both cholinesterases at nanomolar level. Among them, ((1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridin-9-yl)amino)ethyl(3-nitrophenyl) carbamate (6k) showed the best inhibitor activity against AChE and BuChE with IC50 value of 22.15 nM and 16.96 nM, respectively. The calculated selectivity index revealed that the synthesized compounds (exclude 6l) have stronger inhibitory activity against BuChE than AChE. The most selective compound was 2-((1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridin-9-yl)amino)ethyl(4-methoxyphenyl)-carbamate (6b) with the selectivity index of 0.12. Molecular modeling approaches were employed to understand the interaction between the synthesized compounds and proteins. As carbamate derivatives can act as pseudo-irreversible inhibitors of AChE and BuChE, covalent docking approaches was applied to determine the binding modes of novel compounds at binding sites of cholinesterase enzymes.

    In vitro inhibition effects on erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase I and II and structure-activity relationships of cumarylthiazole derivatives
    (2016-09-01) Kurt, BELMA; Sonmez, Fatih; GÖKÇE, Başak; Ergun, Adem; Gencer, Nahit; Demir, Taki; Arslan, Oktay; Kucukislamoglu, Mustafa; ZENGİN KURT, BELMA
    Coumarin and heterocyclic compounds incorporating urea have clinical applications as antiepileptics, diuretics, and antiglaucoma agents due to their carbonic anhydrase inhibitory properties. We investigated inhibition of carbonic anhydrase I and II with a series of coumarylthiazole derivatives containing urea/thiourea groups. All the investigated compounds exhibited inhibitory activity on both hCA I and hCA II, with 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl)urea being the strongest inhibitor. Structure-activity relationship study showed that most of urea derivatives were more inhibiting for hCA I and hCA II than thiourea derivatives. The electron-withdrawing groups at the phenyl ring increased the inhibitory activity compared to electron-donating groups.
