Synthesis, activity evaluation and 3D-QSAR study of some novel derivatives of 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno [3,2-c] pyridine

A series of novel derivatives of 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno [3,2-c] pyridine were synthesized and structurally characterized by 1H NMR and MS. Their in vivo anti-platelet aggregation activities were evaluated. A 3D-QSAR was performed using the CoMFA and the CoMSIA. This model provided useful guidelines for novel anti-platelet thienopyridines design.     

Integration of equipment planning and project scheduling

It is common to schedule project activities first, then the utilization of equipment and its operating crew is planned based on such schedule. Real world experiences indicate that activity scheduling can be heavily impacted by the resources needed. In particular, if a project requires highly specialized and expensive equipment type, then one needs to take into account the schedule and cost of such resources in developing the project schedule.

These compounds have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy in solution and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR in the solid state, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X‐ray diffraction for compound 1 . The growth inhibition effects of compounds 1–4 against the lung adenocarcinoma cell line SK‐LU‐1 as well as the cervical cancer cell line HeLa were determined. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit cytotoxic activity, whereas compounds 3 and 4 are inactive. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of Nitrated Analogs of Distamycin and their DNA Cleaving and Protecting Activities under UV Irradiation

Two nitrated analogs of distamycin were synthesized by a novel haloform reaction and the DCC/HOBT coupling reaction in a convenient and effective way with out amino group protection. Our results have demonstrated that these polyamides show DNA cleaving activity under long UV (LUV 365 nm) irradiation. Furthermore, it is an unexpected discovery that these analogs can prevent DNA dam age under short UV (SUV 302 nm).     

Metal‐based antitumor,cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity: pharmacological evaluation of Knoevenagel condensate β‐diketone Schiff base thiosemicarbazone Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes

Knoevenagel condensate Schiff base ligands [L = 3‐cinnamalideneacetylacetone‐thiosemicarbazone (CAT)/3‐cinnama‐ lideneacetylacetoneethylthiosemicarbazone (CAET)/3‐cinnamalideneacetylacetonephenylthiosemicarbazone (CAPT)] and their copper/zinc complexes were synthesized. They were characterized by analytical and spectral techniques. From these data it was found that the ligands adopt square‐planar geometry on metalation with Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺. To evaluate the antitumor and cytotoxic activity of the synthesized complexes in mice and human cancer cell lines, the antitumor activity of the complexes was evaluated against an Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumor model. The activity was assessed using survival time and short‐term in vitro cytotoxic activity. Oral administration of complexes (100 mg/kg) increased the survival time. The cytotoxic activity of complexes was evaluated using human breast cancer (MDA‐MB‐231), colon cancer (HCT‐116) and nonsmall lung cancer (NCI‐H‐23) cell lines. Both the complexes possessed significant antitumor and cytotoxic activity on EAC and human cancer cell lines. The in vitro antimicrobial screening effect of the investigated compounds was also tested against the various organisms by well diffusion method. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Antitumor Metallothiosemicarbazonate： Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Spectra and Antitumor Studies of Co（Ⅲ） Complex with Thiosemicarbazone Derivative of 2-Benzoylpyridine

The title complex [Co（L）2]Cl·4H2O I has been achieved via self-assembly by incorporating cobalt into 2-benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazonate ligand, and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, mass spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The crystal crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P2 1/n, with a = 10.227（3）, b = 17.363（4）, c = 17.459（4） A, β= 100.408（4）°, V= 3049.2（13） A^3, Z = 4, Mr = 677.08, Dc = 1.475 g/cm^3, μ（MoKα） = 0.834 mm^-1, F（000） = 1400, the final R = 0.0747 and wR = 0.0896 for 1663 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The complex contains one six-coordinated cobalt ion connected by two thiosemicarbazone ligands which act as a tridentate ligand to coordinate with the center metal atoms via two pyridyl nitrogen atoms, two imine nitrogen atoms and two sulfur atoms giving rise to a mononuclear structure. Hydrogen bonds existing in the complex link the different components to stabilize the crystal structure. The antiturnor activity of the title complex was tested against A549 lung cancer cell line. Complex ! exhibits antitumor activity.     

Review: recent advances and future development of metal complexes as anticancer agents

Since the initial discovery of applications of platinum complexes in the clinical treatment of many kinds of cancers, the efficiency of platinum complexes in inhibiting the proliferation of various types of tumors surprised researchers working on the development of anticancer drugs. Meanwhile, despite the potent clinical treatment patients get from platinum complexes, there are also disadvantages including limited solubility in aqueous media and side effects like ototoxicity, myelosuppression, nephrotoxicity, and poor selectivity toward healthy cells. For this reason, efforts have been made to search for novel solutions. Non-platinum complexes (like Fe, Pd, Ru, Cu, Bi, Zn, etc.) were found with potential anticancer activities. We here review the properties of five metal complexes as anticancer agents and make comparisons among them in biological features and cytotoxic activity. Seeking the interrelation between microstructure and mechanism of anticancer, we hope this review provides distinct insights into future study of anticancer agents.
