Synthesis of New Sulfurated Derivatives of Natural and Synthetic Systems As Multitarget Anticancer Agents and Development of New Drug Discovery Methodologies Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences PhD Course in Pharmaceutical Sciences (XXIX Cycle) Synthesis of New Sulfurated Derivatives of Natural and Synthetic Systems as Multitarget Anticancer Agents and Development of New Drug Discovery Methodologies Supervisor: Prof. Anna SPARATORE Coordinator: Prof. Marco DE AMICI PhD Thesis of: Elena Gabriele R10658 Academic year 2015/2016 “I don’t believe there would be any science at all without intuition.” Rita Levi Montalcini A mio marito e ai miei genitori Preface This thesis is divided in two parts. The former has been carried out at the Universitá degli Studi di Milano, department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, in the research group of Professor Anna Sparatore. This project treats the synthesis of new sulfurated compounds with the aim of obtaining anticancer agents acting through a multitarget mechanism. This part, entitled "design and synthesis of new derivatives of natural and synthetic systems endowed with anticancer activity, through a multitarget mechanism" is discussed from page 1 to page 149. The latter has been developed at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IPW), under the supervision and in the research group of Professor Dario Neri. This project explains the advantages of using DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) in drug discovery process. In particular, since in the majority of cases DECLs require at least one-step of amide bond formation between amino modified DNA and a carboxylic acid, we optimized a new methodology of synthesis in order to facilitate the construction of single-pharmacophore libraries (DECLs). This part, entitled "optimized reaction conditions for amide bond formation in DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries" is discussed from page 151 to page 187.

Cancer chemotherapy can not be considered completely satisfactory and, due to the extreme toxicity of anticancer drugs, it becomes essential to identify new compounds more potent and less toxic. It is well known that inflammatory conditions in selected organs increase the risk of cancer. Compounds of the inflammatory tumour microenvironment include leukocytes, cytokines, complement components and are orchestrated by transcription factors, such as STAT3 and NFkB. Therefore, drugs able to inhibit one or both transcription factors could be useful tools to treat cancer disease. Based on these considerations, the aim of the present thesis was the synthesis of different novel sets of sulfureted hybrid molecules, potentially candidates for the treatment of cancer. On one hand, we explored the potentialities of new sulfurated chemical scaffolds, such as dithiolethiones, methanethiosulfonates and allyldisulfides to evaluate their antiproliferative activity, as well as their ability to inhibit STAT3 and NfkB, and to design new anticancer agents. On the other hand, we evaluated the possibility of creating hybrid molecules, combining moieties with different mechanism of action, which could carry out a synergistic antitumor effect. In particular, the sulfurated compounds synthetized have been combined with different STAT3 and/or NfkB inhibiting structures such as natural products (curcumin, phenolic acids and celastrol), semi-synthetic and synthetic systems (rosmaricine and heterocyclic

Abd El-Kadder Assistant Professor at Horticulture Research Institute Agricultural Research Center Pharmacognosy Department Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University 2018 1 Abstract: Aiming to identify and authenticate Sequoia sempervirens (D.Don Endl) and Taxodium distichum (L.Rich) cultivated in Egypt. RAPD technique was employed to identify unique DNA markers and establish a typical fingerprint for S. sempervirens and T. distichum. The amplification profile of S. sempervirens was screened and a total of 18 different RAPD fragments had been recorded while the amplification profile of T. distichum was screened and a total of 15 different RAPD fragments had been recorded. Macromorphological and micromorphological studies of S. sempervirens and T. distichum had been done. The results of preliminary phytochemical screening of both plants showed the absence of alkaloids, anthraquinones, catechol tannins or cardiac glycosides in non-flowering parts of S. sempervirens and T. distichum. Sterols and/or triterpenoids, pyrogallol tannins, carbohydrate and/or glycosides and flavonoids were detected in all of the tested parts of the plants.

It has been used in the form of the dihydrochloride and hemisulfate salts as a topical antiseptic, and was formerly used as a urinary antiseptic. Proflavine is toxic and carcinogenic in mammals and so it is used only as a surface disinfectant or for treating superficial wounds. Proflavine is also known to have a mutagenic effect on DNA by intercalating between nucleic acid base pairs. It differs from most other mutagenic components by causing basepair-deletions or basepair- insertions and not substitutions.

Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic means. Further, taxodone showed potential antibacterial effect as diameters of zones of inhibition against foodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19166, Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 2515, S. enteritidis KCTC 2021, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, E. coli O157:H7 ATCC 43888, Enterobacter aerogenes KCTC 2190, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and S. aureus KCTC 1916, were found in the range of 9.4 to 14.2 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of taxodone against the employed bacterial pathogens were found in the range of 250 to 1000 and 250 to <2000 μg/ml, respectively. Also the compound had a strong antibacterial effect on the viable counts of the tested bacteria. These fi ndings indicate that the bioactive compound taxodone present in M. glyptostroboides could be used as an antibacterial agent in food industry to inhibit the growth of certain important foodborne pathogens.
