Abstract

Background: Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Hydrazone and hydrazone derivatives have high activity, and for this reason, these compound are greatly used by researchers to synthesize new anti-cancer drug. The aim of this research work is to synthesize novel anticancer agents.

Methods: New hydrazone derivatives were synthesized via a reaction between 3-formylphenyl methyl carbonate and benzhydrazide, 4-methylbenzoic hydrazide, 4-tert-butylbenzoic hydrazide, 4-nitrobenzoic hydrazide and 3- methoxybenzoic hydrazide, and were successfully characterized using elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR and LC-MS techniques. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial (some grampositive and -negative bacteria, filamentous fungi and yeasts), anti-proliferative (T47D and HCC1428-breast cancer cells) and anti-angiogenic (HUVEC-endothelial cells) activities. The anti-proliferative activities of the hydrazone compounds R1-R5 were studied on these cell lines by MTT assay. The anti-angiogenic potential of the compounds was determined by the endothelial tube formation assay. To identify structural features related to the anti-proliferative activity of these compounds, 2D-QSAR was performed.

Result: The results indicated that compound R3 exhibited strong anti-angiogenic and anti-proliferative activity on breast cancer cell lines and healthy cell lines. Also, this compound; possessing a tertiary butyl moiety on the hydrazine, exhibited the highest inhibitory effect against all tested microorganisms; in particular, it inhibited Candida albicans at a lower concentration than ketoconazole. Among the investigated compounds, those bearing methyl, tertiary butyl (compound R2, R3) and methoxy (compound R5) moiety were found to be more successful anticandidal derivatives than standard antifungal antibiotics. The QSAR analysis suggested that the tumor specificity of the hydrazone correlated with their molecular weight, lipophilicity, molar refractivity, water solubility, DipolHybrid:(MOPAC) and ExchangeEnergy:(MOPAC). Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Elimination (ADME) analysis of the hydrazone compounds showed that they have favorable pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness properties. The ADME results clarify that R3 is the best compound in terms of pharmacokinetic properties. In contrast to other compounds; target prediction analysis of the compound R3 showed inhibitory activity on estrogen-related receptor alpha transcription factor (ESRRA). The target prediction analysis was supported by molinspiration bioactivity score.

Conclusion: The R3 compound is considered to be an important candidate for future studies with its suitability for the Lipinski’s rule of five for drug-likeness, and effective in vitro and in silico results.

Keywords: Hydrazone, anti-microbial activity, QSAR, ADME, anti-angiogenic activity, anti-proliferative.
