Article Novel Hydrazide-Hydrazone Derivatives Containing Flurbiprofen 1,2,4-Triazole as Anticancer Agents: Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation(Slovensko Kemijsko Drustvo, 2026) Küçükgüzel, Ş. Güziz; Gökoğlan, Ecem; Yılmaz, Özgür; Çevik, Özge; Çakıcı, Çiğdem; Erdoğan, ÖmerHydrazone derivatives are one of the scaffolds frequently used in new drug development studies. Due to the promising pharmacological effects of the hydrazone structure, fifteen new hydrazide-hydrazone compounds containing flurbiprofen 1,2,4-triazole were synthesized in this study and their in vitro anticancer effects were tested. All compounds were tested for cytotoxic effects against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB231), and glioblastoma cell line (U87) by using MTT assay. Among the synthesized compounds, compounds 7a and 7c exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 7.80 +/- 1.20 & micro;M and 2.40 +/- 0.93 & micro;M against MCF-7 cell line, while compound 7a showed the highest activity with IC50 value of 7.63 +/- 1.05 & micro;M against MDA-MB231 cell line. In addition, compounds 7c and 7n presented cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 10.31 +/- 4.63 & micro;M and 10.81 +/- 6.11 & micro;M against U87 cell line. The possible cytotoxic effects of compounds on mouse fibroblast cell line (L929) were assessed for their safety and compounds 7a, 7c, and 7n were found less toxic than 5-fluorourasil. Additionally, compound 7c was further studied to investigate its effects on apoptosis and PI3K activity, which play a role in cancer development. The results showed that compound 7c increased apoptosis in MCF-7 cells and it displayed PI3K enzyme inhibitory activity. Our study revealed that the synthesized hydrazone compounds have the potential to be lead compounds for further studies on cancer.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Evaluation of Hydrazide-Hydrazone and 4-Thiazolidinone Derivatives of Etodolac as Potential Anticancer Agents in Leukemia Cells(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2024) Tiber, Pinar Mega; Averbek, Sera; Sevinc, Sevgi Kocyigit; Kilinc, Olca; Suzgun, Pelin Cikla; Kucukguzel, S. Guniz; Orun, Oya; Koçyiğit Sevinç, SevgiBackground Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are commonly used for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, have also been found to prevent cancer. (+/-)(R,S) Etodolac is an NSAID that belongs to the class of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. Various derivatives of etodolac are synthesized to boost its anti-proliferative action and lessen its potential negative effects. In our earlier studies, some novel derivatives of etodolac exhibited stronger cytotoxic effects on prostate cell lines and had similar effects on leukemia cells in pre-screening experiments.Objective Using the K562 leukemia cell line as a model, we sought to investigate the anti-cancer properties of a hydrazide-hydrazone derivative (SGK-205) and a 4-thiazolidinone derivative of etodolac (SGK-216).Materials and Methods In the current investigation, SGK-205 and SGK-216 compounds were administered to K562 cells for 24 and 48 hours at concentrations of 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mu M. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT test, and apoptosis by Annexin V-PI staining and mitochondrial membrane potential assays, together with mRNA expressions of apoptotic proteins. The levels of the proteins, HER2 and COX2, were also examined to evaluate COX2 inhibitory capacity.Results In K562 cells, there was a definite dose-dependent response to SGK-205 and SGK-216 compounds. Results from MTT viability tests, together with mitochondrial membrane potential measurements and Annexin V-PI staining, revealed that SGK-216 and SGK-205 significantly outperformed etodolac in terms of their apoptotic and anti-proliferative activities. The concentration range of 10-20 mu M for both chemicals was sufficient to start biological responses. Apoptosis was also investigated through the expressions of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. Additionally, gene expression research demonstrated SGK-205 to be a beneficial substitute to etodolac in lowering COX-2 and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) expression.Conclusion Our data indicated both derivatives to have higher anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects compared to etodolac. An overall assessment highlighting apoptotic induction potential, acceptable toxicity levels, a consistent dose-response relationship, and COX2 inhibitory actions, in particular, indicated SGK-205 as a viable novel therapeutic.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Aryloxyacetic Acid Hydrazide Derivatives as Anticancer Agents(Taylor & Francis inc, 2021) Senkardes, Sevil; Erdogan, Omer; Cevik, Ozge; Kucukguzel, S. GunizIn our continuing search for new anticancer agents, herein we report the synthesis of 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)-N'-[(aryl)methylidene]acetohydrazides 3a-j and the evaluation of their anticancer activities on cell viability, morphological changes and caspase-3 activity in cancer cell lines including gastric cancer (MKN45), cervical cancer (HeLa) and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells. 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)-N'-[(4-phenylthiophen-2-yl)methylidene] acetohydrazide 3g presented the strongest growth inhibition against MKN45 gastric cancer cell lines with the IC50 value of 1.471 +/- 0.23 mu M. Moreover, compounds 3b and 3g showed high potency against the HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cell lines having IC50 in the range of 2.38-9.72 mu M. These compounds are more selective for the tested human cancer cells than for the mouse fibroblast cell line (NIH/3T3). As a result of the studies conducted in order to understand the molecular mechanism, compounds 3b and 3g enhanced expression of the caspase-3 pro-apoptotic proteins levels besides caspase-3 gene.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Synthesis, Antimicrobial Properties and <i>in Silico</I> Studies of Aryloxyacetic Acid Derivatives With Hydrazone or Thiazolidine-4 Scaffold(Taylor & Francis inc, 2023) Senkardes, Sevil; Kart, Didem; Bebek, Bilge; Gunduz, Miyase Gozde; Kucukguzel, S. GunizIn this work, twenty hydrazide-hydrazone and 4-thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesized starting from m-cresol. Antimicrobial evaluation was carried out by microdilution method against Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive bacteria and Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as Gram-negative bacteria, and three pathogenic fungi Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis and Candida krusei. Some compounds possessed considerable antimicrobial properties against the tested microorganisms, particularly against E. coli. 4-Thiazolidinones containing 3-methoxyphenyl and 3,5-dichlorophenyl moieties (4h and 4i) were found to be the most active derivatives with MICs of 2 mu g/mL against E. coli. N'-[(3,5-dichlorophenyl)methylidene]-2-(3-methylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (3i) also displayed antifungal activity against Candida krusei that was comparable to fluconazole. Calculated drug-likeness and ADMET parameters of the most active compounds confirmed their potential as antimicrobial drug candidates. Molecular docking investigations were carried out in the thiamine diphosphate-binding site of pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex E1 component (PDHc-E1) to clarify the potential antibacterial mechanism against E. coli. The results showed the potential and importance of developing new hydrazones and 4-thiazolidinones that would be effective against microbial strains. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
