Abstract
A series of new tetracyclic oxathiine-fused quinone-thioglycoside conjugates based on biologically active 1,4-naphthoquinones and 1-mercapto derivatives of per-O-acetyl d-glucose, d-galactose, d-xylose, and l-arabinose have been synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. Six tetracyclic conjugates bearing a hydroxyl group in naphthoquinone core showed high cytotoxic activity with EC50 values in the range of 0.3 to 0.9 μM for various types of cancer and normal cells and no hemolytic activity up to 25 μM. The antimicrobial activity of conjugates was screened against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus), Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli), and fungus Candida albicans by the agar diffusion method. The most effective juglone conjugates with d-xylose or l-arabinose moiety and hydroxyl group at C-7 position of naphthoquinone core at concentration 10 µg/well showed antimicrobial activity comparable with antibiotics vancomicin and gentamicin against Gram-positive bacteria strains. In liquid media, juglone-arabinosidic tetracycles showed highest activity with MIC 6.25 µM. Thus, a positive effect of heterocyclization with mercaptosugars on cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity for group of 1,4-naphthoquinones was shown.

1. Introduction
Naphthoquinones represent one of the largest families of natural products and are widespread in nature. They were isolated from plants, marine invertebrates, fungi, and bacteria [1]. Naphthoquinones revealed a diverse spectrum of activities: anticancer [2,3,4], antibacterial [5,6], anti-infective [7], antimalarial [8], and cardioprotective action [9]. The quinone ring contains a system of double bonds conjugated with carbonyl groups: it is easily susceptible to reduction, oxidation, and addition of O-, N-, and S-nucleophiles [10,11]. The high reactivity of naphthoquinones and the well-developed methods of its chemical modification make this group of compounds attractive for the profound development of new types of substances with high biological activity [12].
Studies are continuing on the antimicrobial activity of 1,4-naphthoquinones in relation to various microbial pathogens that are dangerous as sources of fatal diseases, epidemics, and nosocomial infections. In some cases, not only was the direct effect of new compounds on microbial cells investigated, but also their effect on the viability of biofilms formed by reproducing microorganisms. Thus, a series of new 2-hydroxy-3-phenylsulfanylmethyl-1,4-naphthoquinones were synthesized and evaluated against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains and their biofilms to probe for potential lead structures. The structure modification applied in the series resulted in 12 new naphthoquinones with pronounced antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Four molecules showed anti-biofilm activity and inhibited biofilm formation more than 60% with a better profile than standard antibacterial drug, ciprofloxacin [13,14].
Naphthoquinones often possess poor solubility which has hampered their practical use. The conjugation of naphthoquinones with non-toxic carbohydrates is one of the most successful ways for improving their solubility [15,16,17,18,19]. Moreover, the conjugation of naphthoquinones with carbohydrates led to novel structures with new types of biological activity [20,21]. Such naphthoquinone–carbohydrate conjugates include classical O- and S-glycosides (carbohydrates linked directly to naphthoquinone via glycosidic bond), non-glycosidic conjugates (connection with the carbohydrate component via not glycosidic ether linkage), and N-glycosyl triazoles (a triazolic ring connecting the carbohydrate moiety to naphthoquinone). In the course of our drug research project we developed an effective method for preparation of naphthoquinone acetylthioglucosides by the condensation of available substituted chloromethoxynaphthoquinone 1 with per-O-acetyl-1-thioderivatives of d-glucose 2a, d-galactose 2b, d-xylose 2c, and l-arabinose 2d and obtained related naphthoquinone acetylglucosides 3a–d [22]. These acetylglycoside derivatives, 3a–d, were readily deacetylated with MeONa/MeOH and immediately converted to the quinone–sugar tetracyclic conjugates 4a–d in good yields (Scheme 1). The tetracyclic quinone–carbohydrate conjugates 4a–d had a linear planar structure and retained the stereochemistry of the starting sugars.

The obtained sugar–quinone tetracycles were converted to acetyl derivatives by treatment with Ac2O/Py. Both synthesized tetracyclic quinone conjugates and their acetylated tetracyclic derivatives were active in vitro against human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 in 1.0–5.0 μM concentrations, while starting acyclic acetylglycosides were approximately 10–100 times less active [23].
2. Results and Discussion
The synthesis of tetracyclic oxathiine-fused glycoside naphthoquinone conjugates can provide bioactive compounds, and the variation of naphthoquinone and carbohydrate moieties allows a structure–activity relationship (SAR) study. Therefore, this work aimed to conjugate per-O-acetylated 1-thiosugars 2a–d with various substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones. The key intermediates, per-O-acetylated 1-thiosugars 2a–d, were prepared from the respective peracetylated glycosyl halides (d-glucose, d-galactose, d-xylose, and l-arabinose) using reducing cleavage of its thiouronium salt with sodium metabisulfite according to literature procedures [24,25,26]. Sugar thioderivatives comprise two pairs of structurally related carbohydrates: hexopyranoses of d-glucose and d-galactose, as well as pentopyranoses of d-xylose and l-arabinose, which differ in the configuration of the C4-OH group.
2.1. Preparation of Starting Chloro(bromo)methoxynaphthoquinones
The starting substituted 2-chloro-3,5,8-trimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones 5 and 6 were prepared by treatment of appropriated 2,3-dichloro-5,8-dimethoxynaphtalene-1,4-dione and 2,3,6,7-tetrachloro-5,8-dimethoxynaphtalene-1,4-dione with AcONa in dry methanol at reflux as described earlier [27] (Figure 1). Bromination of available hydroxyjuglone derivatives 7 and 8 in chloroform solution according to the work in [28] led to bromoquinones 9 and 10 in good yields, 92%. Subsequent treatment of quinones 9 and 10 in 1,4-dioxane with 0.2 M ethereal diazomethane solution and crystallization from MeOH gave a second pair of initial bromomethoxyjuglones 11 and 12 in yields 85% (Scheme 2), which were identical to such compounds described in [29].

2.2. Synthesis of 3-Acetylthioglycosides of 2-Methoxynaphthoquinones 13a–d–16a–d
Then, four substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones—5, 6, 11, and 12—were condensed in acetone with per-O-acetylated 1-thiosugars 2a–d at equimolar ratio of quinone: thiosugar under base conditions in presence of K2CO3 according the procedure described in our previous work [22] (Scheme 1). This condensation led to acetylated thioglycosides of 1,4-naphthoquinones 13a–d–16a–d in good yields, 71–91% (Figure 2). The structures of new compounds were proved by NMR, IR spectroscopy, and HR mass spectrometry. The 1′,2′-trans-configuration of glycosidic bond was confirmed by the value of anomeric proton doublets (J1′,2′ = 7.5–10.2 Hz) in 1H-NMR spectra. The other spectral characteristics of the naphthoquinone methoxyderivatives 13a–d–16a–d were in a good agreement with their proposed structures (see also Supplementary Materials file).

2.3. Preparation of Naphthoquinone–Sugar Tetracyclic Conjugates
Under the base treatment by MeONa/MeOH thioglycosides 13a–d–16a–d were readily converted in tetracycles 17a–d–20a–d in good yields 82–97% (Figure 3). It is evident that tetracyclic quinone–glucoside conjugates 17a–d–20a–d were formed from methoxyglucosides 13a–d–16a–d through deacetylation stage and intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of the methoxy group by sugar C2-OH group.

Synthesized 1,4-naphthoquinone-thioglycoside tetracyclic conjugates.
This process proceeds with retention of the configuration of all asymmetric centers of the carbohydrate portion and formation of linear tetracyclic structure. The alternative angular structure for the obtained tetracycles 17a–d–20a–d was rejected based upon on the direct comparison with the spectral data of similar angular tetracycles, which we obtained earlier [30].
2.4. Biological Evaluation
2.4.1. Cytotoxic Activity
Tetracyclic conjugates 17a–d–20a–d and 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) were examined for cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines and two normal cell lines such as human cervical cancer (HeLa), mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro 2a), mouse ascites Ehrlich carcinoma, mouse normal epithelial cell line (JB6 Cl 41-5a), and mouse blood erythrocytes. Known cytotoxic agent cucumarioside A2-2 [31] was used as positive control. The results are presented in Table 1.

Conjugates 17a,c,d with a 7,10-dimethoxynaphthoquinone core were inactive for all cell lines at EC50 value ≤ 25 μM. Galactoside derivative 17b had poor solubility in DMSO, which did not allow for the measurement its activity. Introduction of two chlorine atoms in a 7,10-dimethoxynaphthoquinone core led to tetracyclic 8,9-dichloroderivatives 18a–d with better solubility and promising activity in EC50 values ranging from 1.1 to 10.9 μM. Among the substances of this group, galactoside derivative 18b showed the best activity against ascites Ehrlich carcinoma cell line with EC50 value 1.1 μM.
The following two groups of tetracycles, 19a–d and 20a–d, are conjugates of thiosaccharides 2a–d with derivatives of 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone 11–12. Among them, six substances had promising values, EC50 < 1 μM. In the group of tetracycles 19a–d, bearing a hydroxyl group at position 10, only hexapyranoside derivatives d-Glc 19a and d-Gal 19b showed the high cytotoxic activity with EC50 values in the range of 0.6 to 0.9 μM, while all tetracycles 20a–d, bearing hydroxyl group at position 7, revealed highly toxic compounds with EC50 0.3–0.7 μM for various types of cells. Mouse epithelial Jb6 cells were more susceptible to the action of juglone tetracyclic derivatives 20a–d. As evidenced from Table 1, the presence of a hydroxy group in the naphthoquinone scaffold led to the formation of naphthoquinone tetracycles 19a–b–20a–b with promising cytotoxicity. However, unsubstituted 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) did not show any cytotoxic activity up to 100 μM. This fact proves the positive effect of heterocyclization on tetracycles cytotoxicity. Moreover, it was shown that all tested compounds did not cause lysis of murine erythrocytes up to 25 μM.
For all cytotoxic compounds 18a–d–20a–d their selectivity index (SI) was calculated (Table 2). Among the tested tetracycles, the most selective substance was 19a in relation to all studied lines of tumor cells. In comparison to non-tumor mouse epithelial Jb6 Cl 41-5a cells, the selectivity index for Ehrlich carcinoma cells was 9.3, for HeLa—1.5, and for Neuro-2a cell cuture—1.4. Compounds 18b and 19d also showed rather high values of the selectivity index for Ehrlich carcinoma cells with SI = 2.6 and SI = 2.1, respectively. On HeLa cells, the most active compounds were 19a, 19d, and 20d, with SI > 1.

2.4.2. Antimicrobial Activity
All synthesized tetracyclic conjugates 17a–b–20a–b and 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) were screened by the agar diffusion method for antibacterial activity against two strains of Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus ATCC 21027; B. cereus ATCC 10702), two strains of Gram-negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853; E. coli K-12), and antifungal activity against fungus C. albicans KMM 453 from the Collection of Marine Microorganisms (KMM) of the G.B. Elyakov Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry. Commercial antibacterial drugs (vancomicin and gentamicin) and antifungal (clotrimazol) drugs were used as positive controls. Compound concentrations and diameter of inhibition zone are presented in Table 3.

Zones within 20–40 mm mean strong antibiotic activity, zones up to 20 mm—moderate, ≤10 mm—weak, +—insignificant (− means that the study was not conducted).
Conjugates 17a–c with a 7,10-dimethoxynaphthoquinone core were inactive to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in concentrations of 100 µg/well. Only one of these conjugates—17d, based on l-arabinose, revealed weak activity against C. albicans. Conjugates 18c,d with two chlorine atoms in their naphthoquinone skeleton showed moderate activity against Gram-positive strains S. aureus and B. cereus at a concentration of 100 µg/well, but also were not active to Gram-negative bacteria and fungus C. albicans. As evidenced from Table 3, tetracycles 19b–d, bearing a hydroxyl group at C-10 atom of naphthoquinone core, showed various antimicrobial activity levels to Gram-positive bacteria from weak activity for tetracycle 19b, to strong activity for compound 19d.
Sugar tetracylic conjugates 20a–d, with a hydroxyl group at the C-7 atom of their naphthoquinone core, constituted the most effective set of antimicrobials among tested compounds 17a–d–20a–d. All these compounds, 20a–d, have an inhibition zone diameter of 22–40 mm at concentration 100 µg/well and kept the value of inhibition zone in the range of 10 to 25 mm for the concentration 10 µg/well. At a concentration of 10 µg/well, the most effective conjugates with d-xylose 20c and l-arabinose 20d showed antimicrobial activity comparable with antibiotics vancomicin and gentamicin, and these ones retained residual effect upon dilution to 1 µg/well for Gram-positive strains. Surprisingly, 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) showed moderate activity against only P. aeruginosa. Thus, heterocyclization with 1-thiosugars leads to an increase of antibiotic activity, especially against the S. aureus strain.
The antimicrobial activity for the most active compounds, 19d and 20a–d, was also determined against S. aureus by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using the broth microdilution method. As it follows from Table 4, juglone derivatives 19d and 20d with d-arabinose moiety showed highest antibacterial activity with a MIC of 6.25 μM. The worse activity for 19d in the agar medium test is probably associated with interactions with agar molecules in the medium. In comparison to non-tumor mouse epithelial Jb6 Cl 41-5a cells, no selective inhibitory activity on bacterial cells was observed, as SI < 1.

3. Materials and Methods
3.1. General Information
All reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without additional purification. All solvents were distilled before use. Melting points were determined by using a Boetius apparatus (VEB Analytic, Dresden, Germany) and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded in KBr pellets or in CHCl3 by using a Bruker Equinox 55 spectrophotometer (Bruker Optik GmbH, Ettlingen, Germany). 1H-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance III-500 HD (500 MHz) or a Bruker Avance III-700 (700 MHz) spectrometer (Bruker Corporation, Bremen, Germany) with CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as the solvent and TMS as the internal standard. 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance III HD-500 spectrometer at 125 MHz or a Bruker Avance III-700 spectrometer at 176 MHz. ESI mass spectra were recorded on an Agilent 6510 Q-TOF LC/MS instrument (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Silufol UV–Vis TLC plates (Sklarny Kavalier, Votitsa, Czech Republic) treated with HCl vapor were used for analytical TLC. Preparative TLC was performed on silica gel 60 Merck (40–60 μm). TLC plates were developed in system A (hexane–benzene–acetone (2:1:1 v/v)), system B (hexane–benzene–acetone (2:1:2 v/v)), or system C (benzene–EtOAc–MeOH (7:4:2 v/v)).
3.2. Synthesis
3.2.1. General Procedure for Synthesis of Acetylated Thioglycosides 13a–d–16a–d
2-Chloro(bromo)-3-methoxyquinone, 5, 6, 11, and 12 (0.50 mM), and per-O-acetylated 1-mercaptosugar derivatives 2a–d (0.55 mM) were dissolved in acetone (30 mL) and 76 mg (0.55 mM) of dry finely powdered K2CO3 was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature until the consumption of thioglicose and conversion of starting quinone. Precipitate of inorganic salt was filtered, the filtrate was dried in a vacuum, and the residue was subjected to preparative TLC (system B for 13a–d and system A for others). The main fraction was washed off from silica gel with acetone, dried, and recrystallized from MeOH to give pure thioglycoside 13a–d–16a–d.

3.2.2. General Procedure for Cyclization of Acetylated Thioglycosides to Tetracyclic Conjugates 17a–d–20a–d
Acetylated thioglycoside, 13a–d–16a–d (0.25 mM), was suspended in 15 mL of dried MeOH and 0.9 mL MeONa solution (0.5 N) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h until TLC analysis indicated complete consumption of initial thioglycoside. During the reaction, the formation of a new polar compound precipitate was also observed. The reaction mixture was acidified with 0.25 mL HCl solution (2 N) and the precipitate was filtered off, washed with water, cold MeOH, and gave high purity quinone-tioglycosidic conjugates 17a–d–20a–d.

3.3. Biology
3.3.1. Cell Culture
Human adenocarcinoma cell line HeLa, mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro-2a, and mouse epithelial cells Jb6 Cl 41-5a were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). Mouse ascites Ehrlich carcinoma was provided by the N.N. Blokhin NMRCO (Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russia).
HeLa and Neuro-2a cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Biolot, Russia) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Biolot, Russia). Jb6 Cl 41-5a cells were cultivated in MEM medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Biolot, Russia) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Biolot, Russia). All cell lines were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% (v/v) CO2.
The cells of Ehrlich carcinoma were injected into the peritoneal cavity of 18–20 g albino CD-1 mice (male and female). Cells for experiments were collected 7 days after inoculation. The mice were killed by perivisceral dislocation and the ascitic fluid containing tumor cells was collected with a syringe. The cells were washed three times by centrifugation at 2000 rpm (450 g) for 5 min at 4 °C in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4) followed by resuspension in RPMI-1640 culture medium with 10% FBS.
Erythrocytes were isolated from the blood of mice. Blood was taken from CD-1 mice (18–20 g). The mice were anesthetized with diethyl ether, their chests were rapidly opened, and blood was collected in cold (4 °C) 10 mM phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.4 (PBS) without an anticoagulant. Erythrocytes were washed by centrifugation with centrifuge LABOFUGE 400R (Heraeus, Germany) for 5 min 3 times (2000 rpm) in PBS using at least 10 vol. of washing solution. Then, the residue of erythrocytes were resuspended in ice cold phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) to a final optical density of 1.0 at 700 nm and kept on ice.
All experiments were carried out in accordance with the EU Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments.
3.3.2. Cell Viability Assay
MTT Assay
Stocks of substances were prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM. All studied compounds were tested in concentrations from 25 μM using twofold dilution. All tested compounds were added to the wells of the plates in a volume of 20 μL diluted in PBS (final DMSO concentration < 1%). A known cytotoxic agent—triterpene glycoside cucumarioside A2-2 from holothurian Cucumaria japonica—was used as positive control. Cells (3 × 104 cells/well) were incubated with different concentrations of 1,4-NQs in a CO2 incubator for 24 h at 37 °C. After incubation, the medium with tested substances was replaced with 100 μL of pure medium. Then, 10 μL of MTT (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide) stock solution (5 mg/mL) was added to each well and the microplate was incubated for 4 h. After that, 100 μL of SDS-HCl solution (1 g SDS/10 mL dH2O/17 μL 6 N HCl) was added to each well followed by incubation for 4–18 h. The absorbance of the converted dye formazan was measured using a Multiskan FC microplate photometer (Thermo Scientific, USA) at a wavelength of 570 nm [32]. The results were presented as percent of control data, and concentration required for 50% inhibition of cell viability (EC50) was calculated. Selectivity index (SI) is defined as the ratio of EC50 for normal cells and EC50 for tumor cell lines (SI = EC50 (normal cells)/EC50 (tumor cells)).
Nonspecific Esterase Activity Assay
The test solution (20 μL) and 180 μL of the cell suspension were placed into each well of a 96-well microplate (3.5 × 104 cells/well). The plates were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37 °C for 24 h. A stock solution of the probe fluorescein diacetate (FDA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in DMSO (1 mg/mL) was prepared. After incubation, cells were washed with PBS, 10 μL of FDA solution (50 μg/mL) was added to each well and the plate was incubated at 37 °C for 15 min, and fluorescence was measured with a Fluoroskan Ascent plate reader (Thermo Labsystems, Finland) at λex = 485 nm and λem = 518 nm. All experiments were repeated in triplicate. Cytotoxic activity was expressed as the percent of cell viability.
Hemolytic Assay
Erythrocytes were used at a concentration that provided an optical density of 1.0 at 700 nm for a non-hemolyzed sample. In addition, 20 μL of a solution of test substances with a fixed concentration was added to a well of a 96-well plate containing 180 μL of the erythrocyte suspension. The erythrocyte suspension was incubated with substances for 1 h at 37 °C. After that, the optical density of the obtained solutions was measured at 700 nm and EC50 for hemolytic activity of each compound was calculated.
3.3.3. Antimicrobial Assay
Microorganism Cultures
Bacteria Bacillus cereus ATCC 10702, Escherichia coli K-12, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 21027 and fungus Candida albicans KMM 453 were obtained from the Collection of Marine Microorganisms (KMM) of the G.B. Elyakov Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.
Agar Diffusion Method
Test substances were dissolved in DMSO at concentrations of 1.0, 0.1, and 0.01 mg/mL. All strains were grown on trypticase-soy agar TSA (BBL) at 37 °C. After overnight incubation of each test organism in Petri dishes with the same medium, wells with a diameter of 7 mm were cut and 100 μL of the test substance solution was added. After incubation of the dishes at 37 °C for 24 h (for bacteria) and 48 h (for the fungus) at 28 °C, the diameters of the growth inhibition zones of pathogenic microorganisms (mm) were measured, including the diameter of the wells. Commercial antibacterial drugs (vancomicin and gentamicin) and antifungal (clotrimazol) drugs were used as positive controls.
Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
Stocks of substances were prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM. All studied compounds were tested in concentrations from 1.5 μM to 100 μM using twofold dilution. All tested compounds were add to the wells of the plates in a volume of 20 μL diluted in PBS (DMSO concentration < 1%). The bacterial culture of S. aureus ATCC 21027 (Collection of Marine Microorganisms PIBOC FEB RAS) was cultured in a Petri dish at 37 °C for 24 h on solid medium with the following composition; pepton—5.0 g/L, K2HPO4—0.2 g/L, glucose—1.0 g/L, MgSO4—0.05 g/L, yeast extract—1 g/L, agar—16.0 g/L, and distilled water—1.0 L. The pH of the medium was adjusted to 7.2–7.4 with NaOH solution.
The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) according to the method adopted by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Methods for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility tests for bacteria that grow aerobically followed the approved standard—tenth edition. CLSI document M07-A10, PA: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute; 2015, with a slight modification of the medium. The assays were performed in 96-well microplates in appropriate broth (pepton—5.0 g/L, K2HPO4—0.2 g/L, glucose—1.0 g/L, MgSO4—0.05 g/L, yeast extract—1 g/L, casein hydrolyzate—2.5 g/L, distilled water—1L). The S. aureus bacterial suspension had a concentration of 10 × 109 CFU/mL in the medium, 180 μL was then added to each well of the microplates, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 24 h. The MIC value is defined as the lowest concentration of compounds resulting in the complete inhibition of bacterial growth by measuring the absorbance at 600 nm with a microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, Vt, USA). All experiments were performed twice in triplicate. Gentamicin was used as a positive control in concentration 1 mg/mL; 1% DMSO solution in PBS as a negative. The selectivity index for S. aureus has been defined as the ratio of EC50 for normal cells and the MIC value for the bacterial culture (SI = EC50/MIC).
4. Conclusions
In summary, a series of new tetracyclic oxathiine-fused quinone-thioglycoside conjugates based on biologically active 1,4-naphthoquinones (chloro-, hydroxy-, and methoxysubstituted) have been synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. It was shown that the most active compounds are tetracyclic conjugates of juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), which showed high cytotoxic activity with EC50 in the range of 0.3 to 0.9 μM for all cancer and noncancer cell lines. Furthermore, for the first time the antimicrobial activity for this type of compounds was evaluated by the agar diffusion method. Among the tested conjugates, the activity of juglone derivatives with a d-xylose or l-arabinose moiety and hydroxyl group at C-7 position of naphthoquinone core was comparable with antibiotics vancomicin and gentamicin against Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and B. cereus. In liquid media, the juglone-arabinosidic tetracycles showed highest activity with a MIC of 6.25 µM against S. aureus strain. Thus, the positive effect of heterocyclization with mercaptosugars on cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity for a group of 1,4-naphthoquinones was shown. The effect of chloro-, hydroxy-, and metoxysubstituents on teracycles activity was also studied and a significant effect of the hydroxy group on activity was shown. It can be assumed that further modification of such tetracycles may lead to new compounds with selectivity for cancer cells and great antimicrobial activity.
