(SPRINGER, 2017) M Ghorab, Mostafa; S Alsaid, Mansour; SA El-Gaby, Mohamed; M Elaasser, Mahmoud; M Nissan, Yassin
Various thiourea derivatives have been used as starting materials for compounds with better biological activities. Molecular modeling tools are used to explore their mechanism of action.
Novel 4-(4-substituted-thiazol-2-ylamino)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)-benzenesulfonamides as cytotoxic and radiosensitizing agents
(SPRINGER, 2012) M Ghorab, Mostafa; A Ragab, Fatma; I Heiba, Helmy; M Agha, Hebaallah; M Nissan, Yassin
A series of novel 4-(4-substituted-thiazol-2-ylamino)-N-(pyridin-2-yl) benzene-sulfonamides were synthesized and screened for their cytotoxic activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Compounds 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 14 displayed significant activity against MCF-7 when compared to doxorubicin, which was used as a reference drug. The synergistic effect of Gamma radiation for the most active derivatives 7, 9, and 11 was also studied and their IC50 values markedly decreased to 11.9 μM, 11.7 μM, and 11.6 μM, respectively
Novel brominated quinoline and pyrimidoquinoline derivatives as potential cytotoxic agents with synergistic effects of γ-radiation
(Pharmaceutical Society of Korea, 2012) M Ghorab, Mostafa; A Ragab, Fatma; I Heiba, Helmi; M Nissan, Yassin; M Ghorab, Walid
New quinoline derivatives 6, 7 and 19, pyrimidoquinoline derivatives 8–16 and triazolopyrimidoquinoline derivatives 17 and 18 bearing a bromo-substituent were synthesized starting from 3-(4-Bromophenylamino)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone 3. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF7). Compounds 9, 11, 17 and 18 showed IC50 values (36.4, 39.7, 39.02 and 36.4 μM, respectively) comparable to that of the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 32.02 μM). On the other hand, compound 6, 14 and 19 exhibited better activity than doxorubicin with IC50 values of 8.5, 23.5 and 23.7 μM. Additionally, the most potent compounds 6, 14 and 19 were evaluated for their ability to enhance the cell killing effect of γ-radiation.
Synthesis and anticancer activity of some novel trifluoromethylquinolines carrying a biologically active benzenesulfonamide moiety
(ELSEVIER, 2013) S Al-Dosari, Mohammed; M Ghorab, Mostafa; S AlSaid, Mansour; M Nissan, Yassin; B Ahmed, Abdulkareem
Several trifluoromethylquinoline derivatives containing a biologically active benzenesulfonamide moiety 2–14, 16, urea derivatives 15, 17, 4-isothiocyanate 18 and the corresponding carbamimidothioic acid derivatives 19–30, were synthesized from the strategic starting material 4-chloro-7-trifluoromethylquinoline 1. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of elemental and spectral analyses. All the prepared compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds showed good activity, especially compound 15 which exhibited higher activity than the reference drug doxorubicin. In order to suggest the mechanism of action for their cytotoxic activity, molecular docking for all synthesized compounds was done on the active site of PI3K and good results were obtained
