Synthesis and biological studies of some new acrylic acid ethyl esters of quinolinone

Abstract  

A series of new acrylic acid ethyl esters of quinolinones were synthesized from 4-(bromomethyl)quinolinones and screened for in vitro antimicrobial and in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Most of the compounds with chloro substitution at the C-6 or C-7 position in the quinolinone moiety and a methoxy group in the aryloxy moiety showed potent antibacterial and antifungal activities when compared with non-halogenated quinolinones and the quinolinones bearing a CH₃ at the C-8 position. In a pharmacological evaluation, the halogen substitution at the C-6 or C-7 position in quinolinones was found to enhance both analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of the molecule when compared with a simple unsubstituted (non-halogenated) quinolinone. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and FAB-MS.     

Synthesis, complete NMR spectral assignments, and antifungal screening of new 2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one oxime derivatives

Abstract  

A series of differently substituted 2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one oximes have been synthesized and their ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts have been unambiguously assigned using H,H-COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC spectral data. On the basis of the NMR studies, irrespective of the nature and position of the substituents, all reported compounds exist in twin-chair conformation with equatorial disposition of the phenyl groups at C-2 and C-4 of the 3-azabicyclononane moiety. Among the synthesized oxime derivatives, compounds with halo-substituents at ortho/para positions of the phenyl showed good antifungal profile against all tested organisms.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Some New Hetaryl‐Azoles Derivatives Obtained from 2‐Aryl‐4‐methylthiazol‐5‐carbohydrazides and Isonicotinic Acid Hydrazide

A series of new 1,3,4‐oxadiazole/thiadiazole and 1,2,4‐triazole derivatives have been synthesized starting from 2‐aryl‐4‐methylthiazol‐5‐carbohydrazides and isonicotinic acid hydrazide. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectrometry.

None of the tested compounds showed inhibitory activity against gram positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus cereus and against gram negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract  

Direct reductive amination of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde and 3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde with various substituted aromatic amines using NaBH₄ in the presence of I₂ as reducing agent is described.

A succession of new isolongifolenone oxime derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The structures of these compounds were identified by IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, mass spectra, and elemental analysis. The bioassays of antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal activity were carried out. The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities were evaluated by the disk diffusion method, and the minimum inhibitory concentration was determined by the microdilution method, while the insecticidal activity was tested by the spraying method or the straw impregnation method. The results of bioassays showed that compound 3f was more active in resisting all the tested bacterial and fungal organisms when compared to the standard drug amoxicillin at the lowest concentration of 31.3 μg/ml.
