Ítem Comprehensive analysis of crystal structure, spectroscopic properties, quantum chemical insights, and molecular docking studies of two pyrazolopyridine compounds: potential anticancer agents(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-11) Polo-Cuadrado, Efraín; López-Cuellar, Lorena; Acosta-Quiroga, Karen; Rojas-Peña, Cristian; Brito, Iván; Cisterna, Jonathan; Trilleras, Jorge; Alderete, Joel B.; Duarte, Yorley; Gutiérrez, MargaritaIn this study, two pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives (4a and 4b) were grown using a slow evaporation solution growth technique and characterized by FT-IR, HRMS, 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The 4a and 4b structures crystallized in monoclinic and triclinic systems with space groups P21/n and P1̄, respectively. Theoretical calculations were performed at the DFT/B3LYP level for the optimized geometries. The results were in excellent agreement with the experimental data (spectroscopic and XRD). This investigation encompasses molecular modeling studies including Hirshfeld surface analysis, energy framework calculations, and frontier molecular orbital analysis. Intermolecular interactions within the crystal structures of the compounds were explored through Hirshfeld surface analysis, which revealed the notable presence of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. This insight provides valuable information on the structural stability and potential solubility characteristics of these compounds. The research was extended to docking analysis with eight distinct kinases (BRAF, HER2, CSF1R, MEK2, PDGFRA, JAK, AKT1, and AKT2). The results of this analysis demonstrate that both 4a and 4b interact effectively with the kinase-binding sites through a combination of hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Compound 4a had the best affinity for proteins; this is related to the fact that the compound is not rigid and has a small size, allowing it to sit well at any binding site. This study contributes to the advancement of kinase inhibitor research and offers potential avenues for the development of new therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. © 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.Ítem Design, synthesis, theoretical study, antioxidant, and anticholinesterase activities of new pyrazolo-fused phenanthrolines(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-11-17) Polo Cuadrado, Efraín; Rojas Peña, Cristian; Acosta Quiroga, Karen; Camargo Ayala, Lorena; Brito, Iván; Cisterna, Jonathan; Moncada, Félix; Trilleras, Jorge; Rodríguez Núñez, Yeray A.; Gutierrez, MargaritaPyrazole-fused phenanthroline compounds were obtained through several synthetic routes. NMR, HRMS, and IR techniques were used to characterize and confirm the chemical structures. Crystal structures were obtained from compounds 3a, 5b, 5j, 5k, and 5n and analyzed using X-ray diffraction. Compounds were evaluated as acetyl (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors, and the results showed a moderate activity. Compound 5c presented the best activity against AChE (IC50 = 53.29 μM) and compound 5l against BChE enzyme (IC50 = 119.3 μM). Furthermore, the ability of the synthetic compounds to scavenge cationic radicals DPPH and ABTS was evaluated. Compound 5e (EC50 = 26.71 μg mL−1) presented the best results in the DPPH assay, and compounds 5e, 5f and 5g (EC50 = 11.51, 3.10 and <3 μg mL−1, respectively) showed better ABTS cationic radical scavenging results. Finally, in silico analyses indicated that 71% of the compounds show good oral availability and are within the ranges established by the Lipinski criteria. © 2022 The Royal Society of Chemistry.Ítem Regioselective cyclocondensations with thiobarbituric acid: spirocyclic and azocine products, X-ray characterization, and antioxidant evaluation(Royal Society of Chemistry, 0025-03) Polo-Cuadrado, Efraín; Acosta-Quiroga, Karen; Rojas-Peña, Cristian; Rodriguez-Nuñez, Yeray A; Blanco-Acuña, Edgard Fabián; Lopez, Jhon J.; Brito, Iván; Cisterna, Jonathan; Alderete, Joel B.; Gutiérrez, MargaritaMulticomponent cyclocondensations of 5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (AMPZ), thiobarbituric acid, and p-formaldehyde under conventional thermal heating or ultrasonic irradiation were studied. Treatment of the reaction mixture in ethanol in an ultrasonic bath for 3 h produced azocine compound 4b, while the same mixture in ethanol under reflux conditions for 15 h produced spiro compound 4a. This work encompasses intricate experimental details, X-ray diffraction measurements, and multifaceted computational analyses employing methods such as the density functional theory and Hirshfeld surface analysis. Crystallographic investigations revealed the molecular structure of the compound and clarified its interactions involving hydrogen bonds and weak intermolecular forces. This article describes the synthesis and characterization of a novel spirocyclic compound. The study also evaluated the antioxidant potential in vitro using the DPPH and ABTS methods. The results showed that these compounds showed the best free radical scavenging ability, even in very small amounts, and that even at very low concentrations, these compounds showed excellent radical scavenging potential. Surprisingly, these compounds exhibited strong (ABTS+) radical scavenging activities, mainly attributed to the HAT mechanism, indicating their potential as therapeutic agents. Facile multipurpose, three-component selective procedures for new spiroheterocycles have been proposed, presenting intriguing perspectives in the field of medicine, particularly in the field of antioxidants. The geometric values of the computationally optimized structure were calculated using the density functional theory in LC-BLYP/6-31(d), aligned with the X-ray diffraction data, reinforcing the precision of our findings. © 2025 The Royal Society of Chemistry
