Khandelwal R, Vasava M, Abhirami RB, Karsharma M. Recent advances in triazole synthesis via click chemistry and their pharmacological applications: A review. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2024; 112:129927. [PMID: 39153663 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2024.129927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
Click chemistry is a flexible method featuring only the most feasible and efficient chemical reactions. The synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole from azides and terminal acetylenes using copper(I) as a catalyst is an extremely powerful reaction due to the extreme dependability, good selectivity, and biocompatibility of the starting materials. Triazole molecules are more than simple passive linkers; through hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions, they rapidly bind with biological targets. Its applications in drug development are expanding, ranging from target-oriented in situ chemistry and combinatorial mechanisms for lead generation to bioconjugation methods to study proteins and DNA. The click chemistry has frequently been used to speed up drug discovery and optimization processes in the past few years. The click chemistry reaction based on copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) is a biochemical process with applications in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Thus, click reactions are an essential component of the toolkit for medicinal chemistry and help medicinal chemists overcome the barriers in chemical reactions, increase throughput, and improve the standards of compound libraries. The review highlights the recent advancements in the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry approach for synthesizing biologically important triazole moieties with a greater emphasis on synthesis methodologies and pharmacological applications. Additionally, the triazole-based FDA-approved drugs are also discussed with their mode of action to highlight the importance of the click chemistry approach in synthesizing the bioactive triazole compounds.

[PMID: 38008942 DOI: 10.2174/0113895575277122231108095511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
Out of a variety of heterocycles, triazole scaffolds have been shown to play a significant part in a wide array of biological functions. Many drug compounds containing a triazole moiety with important antimicrobial, anticancer and antidepressant properties have been commercialized. In addition, the triazole scaffold exhibits remarkable antiviral activity either incorporated into nucleoside analogs or non-nucleosides. Many synthetic techniques have been produced by scientists around the world as a result of their wide-ranging biological function. In this review, we have tried to summarize new synthetic methods produced by diverse research groups as well as provide a comprehensive description of the function of [1,2,4] and [1,2,3]-triazole derivatives as antiviral agents. Antiviral triazole compounds have been shown to target a wide variety of molecular proteins. In addition, several strains of viruses, including the human immunodeficiency virus, SARS virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, influenza virus, Hantavirus, and herpes virus, were discovered to be susceptible to triazole derivatives. This review article covered the reports for antiviral activity of both 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazole moieties up to 2022.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of serious lower respiratory tract infections in infants, children, and older persons. Currently, the only approved anti-viral chemotherapeutic drug for RSV treatment is ribavirin aerosol; however, its significant toxicity has led to restricted clinical use. In a previous study, we developed various benzimidazole derivatives against RSV. In this study, we synthesised 3-azide substituted furoxazine-fused benzimidazole derivatives by sulfonylation and azide substitution of the 3-hydroxyl group of the furoxazine-fused benzimidazole derivatives. Subsequently, a series of 3-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-substituted furoxazine-fused benzimidazole derivatives were synthesised using the classical click reaction. Biological evaluations of the target compounds indicated that compound 4a-2 had higher activity against RSV (EC50 = 12.17 μM) and lower cytotoxicity (CC50 = 390.64 μM). Compound 4a-2 exerted anti-viral effects against the RSV Long strain by inhibiting apoptosis and the elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory factors caused by viral infection in vitro. Additionally, the clinical symptoms of the virus-infected mice were markedly relieved, and the viral load in the lung tissues was dramatically decreased. The biosafety profile of compound 4a-2 was also favourable, showing no detectable adverse effects on any of the major organs in vivo. These findings underscore the potential of compound 4a-2 as a valuable therapeutic option for combating RSV infections while also laying the foundation for further research and development in the field.

Abstract
Two new families of enantiomerically pure carbocyclic nucleoside analogues based on a cyclohexane moiety with five chiral centers and a fused cyclopropyl ring have been synthesized. A highly regio- and stereoselective synthetic approach for the modular construction of the functionalized bicyclo[4.1.0]heptyl azide intermediate 6 has been established. Key steps to achieve this asymmetric synthesis involved highly diastereoselective allylic oxidation and hydroboration reactions. The first family of compounds, 1a,b and 2, presents different natural nucleobases, whereas the second one 3a-e bears functionalized 1,2,3-triazoles. These derivatives have been tested as antiviral agents, and compound 3d has shown to display moderate activity against coxsackie B4 virus.

Abstract
The syntheses of acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (ANP) analogs linked with cyclic systems
are described in the present review. The purpose of the review is to report the methodology of
ANP analogs and to give an idea on the synthesis of a therapeutic structural feature of such analogs.
The cyclopropane systems were mainly prepared by diazomethane cyclopropanation catalyzed by
Pd(OAc)2, intramolecular alkylation, Kulinkovich cyclopropanation, and use of difluorocyclopropane,
and so forth. The preparation of methylenecyclopropane system was made by diazoacetate
cyclopropanation catalyzed by Rhodium followed by addition-elimination reactions. For the preparation
of a variety of tethered 1,2,3-triazole systems, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azidealkylphosphonates
and propargylated nucleobases was mainly applied. The formation of various
phosphonate moieties was achieved via phosphonylation of alkoxide, cross-coupling between
BrZnCF2P (O)(OEt)2 with iodoalkens catalyzed by CuBr, Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction with phosphite,
and Rh(II)-catalyzed O-H insertion, and so forth.

Abstract
A new series of phosphonylated triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine (1-deaza-8-azapurine), imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (1-deazapurine) and imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2(3H)-one (1-deazapurin-8-one) were synthesized from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine and selected diethyl ɷ-aminoalkylphosphonates followed by reduction of the nitro group and cyclization. In the final step O,O-diethylphosphonates were transformed into the corresponding phosphonic acids. All synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against a broad variety of DNA and RNA viruses and their cytotoxic potencies were also established. Compound 12f showed marginal activity against cytomegalovirus Davis strain (EC50 = 76.47 μM) in human embryonic lung (HEL) cells while compounds 10g (EC50 = 52.53 μM) and 12l (EC50 = 61.70 μM) were minimally active against the varicella-zoster virus Oka strain in HEL cells. Compounds under investigation were not cytotoxic at the maximum concentration evaluated (100 µM).

Abstract
A new series of theophylline analogues containing 1,2,3-triazoles with different amide groups (22-41) has been designed and synthesized, and their biological activities have been evaluated as potential anticancer agents. The anticancer activities of the synthesized compounds were studied in four cancer cell lines viz. lung (A549), colon (HT-29), breast (MCF-7) and melanoma (A375). Furthermore, these compounds were screened for computational ADME and Lipinski's analysis followed by molecular docking and binding energy calculations against the various therapeutic targets involved in cell proliferation. The in vitro results demonstrate that compounds 22, 27, 36 and 40 have pivotal anticancer activity. Among these, compounds 22 and 27 have significant cytotoxic activity in all three cell lines; the in silico docking studies also reveal that compounds 22, 27 and 36 have good dock scores, binding affinities and binding energies towards human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. This is the first report to demonstrate theophylline hybrids containing 1,2,3-triazoles as potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
The first report of 1'-homo-N-1,2,3-triazol-bicyclic carbonucleosides (7a and 7b) is described herein. Azide-enolate (3+2) cycloaddition afforded the synthesis of this novel type of compound. Antifungal activity was evaluated in vitro against four filamentous fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichosporon cutaneum, Rhizopus oryzae and Mucor hiemalis) as well as nine species of Candida spp. as yeast specimens. These pre-clinical studies suggest that compounds 7a and 7b are promising candidates for complementary biological studies due to their good activity against Candida spp.

Abstract
A novel series of ribonucleosides of 1,2,3-triazolylbenzyl-aminophosphonates was synthesized through the Kabachnik-Fields reaction using I2 as catalyst followed by copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of the azide-alkyne reaction (CuAAC). All structures of the newly prepared compounds were characterized by (1) H NMR, (13) C NMR, and HRMS spectra. The structures of 2e, 2f, 3d, and 3g were further confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. These compounds were tested against various strains of DNA and RNA viruses; compounds 4b and 4c showed a modest inhibitory activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and compound 4h displayed modest inhibitory activity against Coxsackie virus B4.

Abstract
The efficient synthesis of a new series of polyhydroxylated dibenzyl ω-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)alkylphosphonates as acyclic nucleotide analogues is described starting from dibenzyl ω-azido(polyhydroxy)alkylphosphonates and selected alkynes under microwave irradiation. Selected O,O-dibenzylphosphonate acyclonucleotides were transformed into the respective phosphonic acids. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for activity against a broad variety of DNA and RNA viruses and for cytostatic activity against murine leukemia L1210, human T-lymphocyte CEM and human cervix carcinoma HeLa cells. Compound (1S,2S)-16b exhibited antiviral activity against Influenza A H3N2 subtype (EC50=20μM-visual CPE score; EC50=18μM-MTS method; MCC >100μM, CC50 >100μM) in Madin Darby canine kidney cell cultures (MDCK), and (1S,2S)-16k was active against vesicular stomatitis virus and respiratory syncytial virus in HeLa cells (EC50=9 and 12μM, respectively). Moreover, compound (1R,2S)-16l showed activity against both herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2) in HEL cell cultures (EC50=2.9 and 4μM, respectively) and feline herpes virus in CRFK cells (EC50=4μM) but at the same time it exhibited cytotoxicity toward uninfected cell (MCC⩾4μM). Several other compounds have been found to inhibit proliferation of L1210, CEM as well as HeLa cells with IC50 in the 4-50μM range. Among them compounds (1S,2S)- and (1R,2S)-16l were the most active (IC50 in the 4-7μM range).

Abstract
ABSTRACT A series of diethyl 2-(4,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)alkylphosphonates was synthesised from ω-azidoalkylphosphonates and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and was further transformed into the respective diamides, dihydrazides, and 5,6-dihydro-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7-diones as phosphonate analogues of acyclic nucleosides having nucleobases replaced with substituted 1,2,3-triazoles. All compounds containing P-C-C-triazole or P-C-C-CH2-triazole moieties exist in single conformations in which the diethoxyphosphoryl and substituted 1,2,3-triazolyl or substituted (1,2,3-triazolyl)methyl groups are oriented anti. All phosphonates were evaluated in vitro for activity against a variety of DNA and RNA viruses. None of the compounds were endowed with antiviral activity. They were not cytostatic at 100 μM.

Abstract
A series of seventeen hitherto unknown ANP analogs bearing the (E)-but-2-enyl aliphatic side chain and modified heterocyclic base such as cytosine and 5-fluorocytosine, 2-pyrazinecarboxamide, 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide or 4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles were prepared in a straight approach through an olefin acyclic cross metathesis as key synthetic step. All novel compounds were evaluated for their antiviral activities against a large number of DNA and RNA viruses including herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, varicella zoster virus, feline herpes virus, human cytomegalovirus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV-1 and HIV-2. Among these molecules, only compound 31 showed activity against human cytomegalovirus in HEL cell cultures with at EC50 of ∼10 μM. Compounds 8a, 13, 14, and 24 demonstrated pronounced anti-HCV activity without significant cytotoxicity at 100 μM.
The synthesis of new acyclonucleoside phosphonates is proposed. Challenging olefin acyclic cross metathesis is the key synthetic step. CuAAC reaction under microwave activation led to substituted-1,2,3-triazoles. Compounds exhibited pronounced anti-HCV activity. Compounds were also evaluated on a wide panel of other viral strains.

Abstract
A general procedure for the preparation of 1,2,3-triazole analogs of nucleosides from diethyl 2-azidoethoxymethyl- and 2-azidoethoxyethylphosphonates was elaborated. The application of microwave irradiation shortened the reaction time to 10 min in comparison to ca. 48 h when 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions were performed under standard conditions. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against a broad variety of DNA and RNA viruses. None of the compounds were antivirally active at subtoxic concentrations. Compound 17k exhibited moderate inhibitory effects on the proliferation of human T-lymphocyte cells (IC50=64 µM for CEM).

Abstract
A simple and efficient synthesis of modified 1,2,3-triazole nucleosides was developed. The strategy involved sequential one-pot acetylation-azidation-cycloaddition procedure and was found to be highly effective under a cooperative effect of ultrasound activation and iron/copper catalysis. The reactions were carried out under both conventional and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. In general, improvement in rates and yields were observed when reactions were carried out under sonication compared with conventional conditions. This one-pot procedure provides several advantages such as operational simplicity, high yield, safety and environment friendly protocol. The resulting substituted nucleosides were evaluated for their anticancer activity against K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell line.

Abstract
There is considerable attention directed at chemically modifying nucleic acids with robust functional groups in order to alter their properties. Since the breakthrough of copper-assisted azide-alkyne cycloadditions (CuAAC), there have been several reports describing the synthesis and properties of novel triazole-modified nucleic acid derivatives for potential downstream DNA- and RNA-based applications. This review will focus on highlighting representative novel nucleic acid molecular structures that have been synthesized via the “click” azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Many of these derivatives show compatibility for various applications that involve enzymatic transformation, nucleic acid hybridization, molecular tagging and purification, and gene silencing. The details of these applications are discussed. In conclusion, the future of nucleic acid analogues functionalized with triazoles is promising.

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diethyl 2-azidoethyl-, 3-azidopropyl-, 2-azido-1-hydroxyethyl-, 3-azido-2-hydroxypropylphosphonates with selected N-propargyl nucleobases gave a series of the phosphonylated 1,2,3-triazole acyclonucleosides in which the phosphonate residue and nucleobases were linked by three- and four-carbon chains. Under standard conditions (TMSBr, ethanol), all synthesized O,O-diethylphosphonates were transformed into the respective phosphonic acids. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for activity against a broad variety of DNA and RNA viruses. Unfortunately, no antiviral activity was observed at 100 μM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkynes and azides to form 1,2,3-triazoles is the most popular reaction in click chemistry. This reaction is also near-perfect, in terms of its robustness, due to the high degree of reliability and complete specificity. Furthermore, this reaction has been used increasingly in drug discovery, because the formed 1,2,3-triazole can act as both a bioisostere and a linker. AREAS COVERED This review provides an overview of a most important click reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of alkynes and azides, in the drug discovery. EXPERT OPINION Click chemistry is a very powerful tool, in the drug discovery, because it is very efficient in the creation of compound libraries through combinatorial methodology. However, the 1,2,3-triazole ring itself is not a commonly used pharmacophore and has rarely been found in marketed drugs, demonstrating that there are still some limitations during the use of 1,2,3-triazole in the molecules of drug candidates. Hopefully, in the next decade, we will witness the emergence of 1,2,3-triazole-bearing drugs on the market as this click reaction is used more and more widely in the drug discovery.

Abstract
Efficient and rapid synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been achieved via Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkyl/arylazides and diethyl/dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The environmentally friendly solvent-free protocol overcomes the limitations associated with the prevailing time-consuming solution phase protocols and affords the triazoles just in 1-3 min. In vitro antitubercular activity of these triazoles was screened against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv strain. Four of the compounds showed MIC in the range of 1.56-3.13 μg/mL proving their potential activity.

Abstract
The synthesis and antiviral evaluation of a series of C5-(1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazolo)-nucleoside derivatives is described. The key steps of this synthesis are regioselective Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, using either copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (RuAAC) under microwave activation. Some compounds among the 5a-l series possess activity against herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus, human cytomegalovirus and vaccinia virus. Their cytostatic activities were determined against murine leukemia cells, human T-lymphocyte cells and cervix carcinoma cells. Compounds were also evaluated on a wide panel of RNA viruses, including Vesicular stomatitis virus, influenza viruses type A (H1N1 and H3N2) and B in MDCK cell cultures, parainfluenza-3 virus, reovirus-1, Sindbis virus and Punta Toro virus in Vero cell cultures and Vesicular stomatitis, Coxsackie B4 and respiratory syncytial virus, with no specific antiviral effect.

Abstract
The pathogenic mycoplasma Ureaplasma parvum (Up) causes opportunistic infections and relies on salvage of nucleosides for DNA synthesis and Up thymidine kinase (UpTK) provides the necessary thymidine nucleotides. The anti-HIV compound 3 -azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) is a good substrate for TK. Methods for a rapid and efficient synthesis of new 3'-alpha-[1,2,3]triazol-3'-deoxythymidine analogs from AZT under Huisgen conditions are described. Thirteen 3'-analogues were tested with human cytosolic thymidine kinase (hTK1) and UpTK. The new analogs showed higher efficiencies (K(m)/V(max) values) in all cases with UpTK than with hTK1. Still, hTK1 was preferentially inhibited by 9 out of 10 tested analogs. Structural models of UpTK and hTK1 were constructed and used to explain the kinetic results. Two different binding modes of the nucleosides within the active sites of both enzymes were suggested with one predominating in the bacterial enzyme and the other in hTK1. These results will aid future development of anti-mycoplasma nucleosides.

Abstract
In this study, we described the synthesis of 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazolo-nucleosides from various alkynes with 1'-azido-2',3',5'-tri-O-acetylribose using either copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (RuAAC), respectively. Optimized RuAAC conditions were realized with the commercially available [Cp*RuCl(PPh3)2] under microwave heating, which allows a significant acceleration of the reaction times (from 6 h to 5 min). This reaction can work under water-containing system. RuAAC and CuAAC are useful tools for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolyl-nucleosides small libraries.

Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) causes fatal encephalitis in young children. However, there is no effective antiviral drug available for infected patients. Ribavirin is currently used for the treatment of several RNA virus infections clinically, so its anti-EV71 efficacy was evaluated. In vitro results showed that ribavirin effectively reduced the viral yields (with an IC50 of 65 μg/mL) and virus-induced cytopathic effect in human and mouse cell lines. In vivo results showed that ribavirin reduced the mortality, morbidity, and subsequent paralysis sequelae in infected mice by decreasing viral loads in tissues. Thus, ribavirin could be a potential anti-EV71 drug

Abstract
A convenient strategy is reported for the synthesis of azole nucleoside analogues of D-pinitol (=3-O-methyl-D-chiro-inositol). The key intermediate 3-O-methyl-4,5-epoxy-D-chiro-inositol was obtained in excellent yield via an epoxidation from mono-methanesulfonate of D-pinitol. The process of opening of the epoxy ring by azole-bases appeared strongly regioselective in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. All newly synthesized carbocyclic azole nucleosides were assayed against lung and bladder cancer in vitro. Only the triazole and benzotriazole nucleoside analogues inhibited the growth of human lung cancer cell lines (PG) with EC(50) of 11.3 and 22.6 microM, respectively, and showed much less inhibitory activity against human bladder cell lines (T(24)).
