    Abstract One of the most essential health problems is cancer, the first or second cause of death worldwide. Head and neck cancers are hard to detect due to non-specific symptoms. The treatment often relies on a combination of radio and chemotherapy. For this reason, the research of new anticancer compounds is fundamental. The natural and synthetic compounds with 1,4-naphthoquinone scaffold is characterized by high anticancer activity. The study aimed to evaluate the synthesis and anticancer activity of hybrids 1,4-naphthoquinone with thymidine derivatives. The series of compounds allows us to check the influence of the substituent in the C3' position of the thymidine moiety on the cytotoxicity against squamous cancer cell lines (SCC-9 and SCC-25) and submandibular gland cancer (A-253). An annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) co-staining assay shows that derivatives cause the apoptotic in SCC-25 and A-253 cell lines. The molecular docking study examined the interaction between the active site of the BCL-2 protein and the hybrids.

    Abstract 28-Acetylbetulin is a good starting compound for the synthesis of 3- or 3,28-substituted betulin derivatives with biological activity. The final product of the reaction of 28-acetylbetulin and acrylic acid under Steglich esterification conditions produced a new 3-alkenyl betulin derivative. The structure of the obtained compound was confirmed based on the analysis of NMR, IR, EI MS, and HRMS spectra. Selected pharmacokinetic parameters related to the absorption and distribution were calculated for the new betulin derivative using in silico methods.

    Abstract The aim of the work was the synthesis of a new 28-acetylbetulin derivative containing an ester group with a carbon–carbon triple bond in the C3 position. To obtain the title compound, a reaction of 28-acetylbetulin with but-2-ynoic acid was carried out according to the Steglich method. The synthetized compound was fully characterized by analyzing the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra ( 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR), as well as the heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), and by conducting a heteronuclear multiple bond coherence (HMBC) experiment. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were also performed. Additionally, pharmacokinetic parameters and drug similarity of the studied molecule were calculated using in silico methods.

    Abstract This research presents a synthesis and characterization of new 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinolinedione derivatives with various groups at the C2 position. Chemical structures were examined by the spectroscopic methods. The quantum chemical parameters calculated using the DFT method showed that these derivatives are highly reactive towards the nucleophilic target. The molecular electrostatic potential map (MEP) showed that nucleophilic regions are localized near the nitrogen atom and the formyl group. Introduction of the hydroxyl or formyl groups at the C2 position led to the formation of an additional nucleophilic region. New compounds were tested as substrates for the NQO1 protein. An enzymatic study showed that derivatives are a good substrate for the NQO1 enzyme. Moreover, it was shown that the enzymatic conversion rates depend on the type of substituent at the C2 position of the 5,8-quinolinedione scaffold. A molecular docking study was used to study the interaction between new derivatives and the NQO1 protein. The arrangement and type of interactions between derivatives and the NQO1 enzyme depended on the type of substituent at the C2 position. A derivative with the hydroxyl group at this position was found to form an additional hydrogen bond between the formyl group and the tyrosine.

    Abstract Head and neck cancer (HNC) therapy is limited; therefore, new solutions are increasingly being sought among flavonoids, which exhibit numerous biological properties, including potential anticancer activity. However, because they are mostly insoluble in water, are unstable and have low bioavailability, they are subjected to chemical modification to obtain new derivatives with better properties. This study aimed to synthesize and analyze new propargyloxy derivatives of galangin, kaempferol and fisetin, and to evaluate their anticancer activity against selected HNC cell lines. The obtained derivatives were assessed by spectroscopic analysis; next, their anticancer activity was evaluated using a flow cytometer and real-time cell analysis. The results showed that only the fisetin derivative was suitable for further analysis, due to the lack of crystal formation of the compound. The fisetin derivative statistically significantly increases the number of cells in the G2/M phase (

    Abstract Lipophilicity is one of the basic properties of a potential drug determining its solubility in non-polar solvents and, consequently, its ability to passively penetrate the cell membrane, as well as the occurrence of various pharmacokinetic processes, including adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Heterocyclic compounds containing a nitrogen atom play a significant role in the search for new drugs. In this study, lipophilicity as well as other physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties affecting the bioavailability of the quinolone-1,4-quinone hybrids are presented. Lipophilicity was determined experimentally as well as theoretically using various computer programs. The tested compounds showed low values of experimental lipophilicity and its relationship with the type of 1,4-quinone moiety. Introduction of the nitrogen atom reduced the lipophilicity depending on the position at the 5,8-quinolinedione moiety. The bioavailability of the tested compounds was determined in silico using the ADMET parameters. The obtained parameters showed that most of the hybrids can be used orally and do not exhibit neurotoxic effects. Similarity analysis was used to examine the relationship between the ADMET parameters and experimental lipophilicity. The ability of hybrids to interact with biological targets was characterized by global reactivity descriptors. The molecular docking study showed that the hybrids can inhibit the BCL-2 protein.

    Abstract New derivative of 28-acetylbetulin containing a phenylpropynoyl moiety at the C-3 position was obtained by Steglich method. The chemical structure of this compound has been determined through 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR, EI MS and HRMS. The antiproliferative effects of 28- O -acetyl-3- O ’-(phenylpropynoyl)betulin were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines: T47D (breast cancer), CCRF/CEM (leukemia), SW707 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) and murine cell line P388 (leukemia). The synthesized compound exhibited moderate antiproliferative activity against P388 cells (IC 50 = 35.51 µM). The in silico analysis showed that the title compound meets the criteria of Veber’s rule.

    Abstract Hybrids 1,4-quinone with quinoline were obtained by connecting two active structures through an oxygen atom. This strategy allows to obtain new compounds with a high biological activity and suitable bioavailability. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The enzymatic assay used showed that these compounds were a suitable DT-diaphorase (NQO1) substrates as evidenced by increasing enzymatic conversion rates relative to that of streptonigrin. Hybrids were tested in vitro against a panel of human cell lines including melanoma, breast, and lung cancers. They showed also a high cytotoxic activity depending on the type of 1,4-quinone moiety and the applied tumor cell lines. It was found that cytotoxic activity of the studied hybrids was increasing against the cell lines with higher NQO1 protein level, such as breast (MCF-7 and T47D) and lung (A549) cancers. Selected hybrids were tested for the transcriptional activity of the gene encoding a proliferation marker (H3 histone), cell cycle regulators (p53 and p21) and the apoptosis pathway (BCL-2 and BAX). The molecular docking was used to examine the probable interaction between the hybrids and NQO1 protein.
