“…In view of the biological activities of the triazenes with mentioned scaffold [31,47], considering the information obtained from ADME properties of the synthesized ligand would be valuable. In this study, the pharmacokinetic features of the five synthesized triazenes were predicted through projection on some predefined models provided by volSurf.…”

“…Recently, the efforts in this field resulted in achievement to the reliable models that can be used in prediction the pharmacokinetic behaviour of a compound [29,30]. High similarity of the synthesized ligands to some drug candidates [31] encourage us to study their pharmacokinetics. In this work, in order to investigate the pharmacokinetic behaviour of the prepared ligand, in silico ADME studies were performed by projection their 3D structures on the pre-calculated models developed in VolSurf program.…”

Syntheses of some ligands based on asymmetric triazenes consisting 1-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)triazene (1), 1-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-3-(3-methylphenyl)triazene (2), 1-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)triazene (3), 1-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)triazene (4), 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)-triazene (5) and their related Hg II complexes were reported. The characterizations were performed by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopies. In (3) and (4), both triazenes possess trans-conformation around the (-N=N-) bond and monomeric moieties are linked to pairs and wave-like chains through C-HÁÁÁO and C-HÁÁÁN hydrogen bonds which are further assembled by stacking through secondary pÁÁÁp interactions [3.829(1) and 3.736(1) Å ]. The reaction of (1) and Hg(NO 3 ) 2 in methanol produces the corresponding Hg II complex (6) where each triazenide binds to the Hg II atom through two nitrogen atoms of triazenide and one oxygen atom of pendant methoxycarbonyl group forming distorted MN 4 O 2 octahedral around the Hg II atom. The stoichiometry and formation of complex (6) and (8) in methanol solution were investigated by UV-Vis titration. Moreover, Reaction of substituted 1,3-diaryltriazenes (2) and (5) with Hg II salts afford a family of orange complexes (7) and (8), respectively. Finally, the chemical structures of the investigated ligands were correlated to their pharmacokinetic behaviour using five pre-calculated models implemented in VolSurf program.

The diverse pharmacological properties of the diaryltriazenes have sparked the interest to investigate their potential to be repurposed as antitubercular drug candidates. In an attempt to improve the antitubercular activity of a previously constructed diaryltriazene library, eight new halogenated nitroaromatic triazenides were synthesized and underwent biological evaluation. The potency of the series was confirmed against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis lab strain H37Ra, and for the most potent derivative, we observed a minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.85 μm. The potency of the triazenide derivatives against M. tuberculosis H37Ra was found to be highly dependent on the nature of the halogenated phenyl substituent and less dependent on cationic species used for the preparation of the salts. Although the inhibitory concentration against J774A.1 macrophages was observed at 3.08 μm, the cellular toxicity was not mediated by the generation of nitroxide intermediate as confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, whereas no in vitro mutagenicity could be observed for the new halogenated nitroaromatic triazenides when a trifluoromethyl substituent was present on both the aryl moieties.

Antibiotic resistance poses a critical threat to global health care. Alkyl-and aryltriazene compounds have found utility as DNA-modifying agents and have been previously 2 assessed as potential anti-cancer therapeutics. However, their potential utility as antimicrobials has only recently been appreciated. Therefore, to further investigate the efficacy of these compounds as antibiotics, we synthesized a series of forty six diaryltriazene derivatives and evaluated their antimicrobial properties. Initial experiments showed activity of some diaryltriazene compounds against both methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococus aureus (MRSA) and against Mycobacterium smegmatis with MICs of less than 0.02 and 1 μg/mL. Those diaryltriazene compounds with potent anti-staphylococcal and anti-mycobacterial activity were inactive as growth inhibitors of mammalian cell lines and yeast. Furthermore, we demonstrated that one of the most active anti-MRSA diaryltriazene derivatives was subject to very low frequencies of resistance at < 10 -9 . Whole genome sequencing of resistant isolates identified mutations in the enzyme that lysylates phospholipids. This could result in the modification of phospholipid metabolism and consequently the characteristics of the staphylococcal cell membrane, ultimately modifying the sensitivity of these pathogens to triazene challenge. Our work has therefore extended the potential range of triazenes, which could yield novel antimicrobials with low levels of resistance.
