An alternate approach for the synthesis of 2‐substituted‐arylimidazo[4,5‐b]pyridines and their anti‐bacterial activity

An alternate method for the convenient preparation of the imidazo[4,5‐b]pyridines from 2,3‐pyridinediamine and 2‐aryl‐3(1)‐benzoxazine‐4H‐one has been illustrated. The mechanistic pathway for the formation of the product 4 has been proposed. All the compounds prepared herein were screened for their anti‐ bacterial properties.

Syntheses of acyclic C‐glycosidic derivatives of 1,2,4‐triazoles by cycloadditions of 1‐aza‐2‐azoniaallene salts to D‐glucononitrile‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentaacetate

Reported are preparations of acyclic derivatives of 1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐glycosidies 9 by cycloadditions of 1‐aza‐2‐azonia‐allene salts 3 to the nitrile group of D‐glucononitrile‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentaacetate 5 affording triazolium salts 8 , which with aqueous sodium hydogencarbonate are hydrolyzed to 9 . Deacetylation of compounds 9 produced the C‐glycosides 10 .     

A facile three‐components,one‐pot synthesis of pyrimido[4,5‐d]pyrimidine‐2,5‐dione derivatives under microwave‐assisted conditions

Pyrimido[4,5‐d]pyrimidine‐2,5‐dione derivatives have been synthesized in high yields in a novel, onepot, and efficient process by condensation of 6‐amino‐3‐methyl‐2‐(methylthio)pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one, aldehydes and urea under microwave‐assisted conditions.     

Silicate Cross‐Linked Bio‐Nanocomposite Hydrogels from PEO and Chitosan

The compositions and the multi phase structures of bio‐nanocomposite hydrogels made from silicate cross‐linked PEO and chitosan are related to some of their physical and biological properties. The gels are injectable and self‐healing because the cross‐linking is physical and reversible under deformation. The presence of chitosan aggregates affects the viscoelastic properties and reinforces the hydrogel network. The chitosan adds advantageous properties to the hydrogel such as enhanced cell spreading and adhesion. In vitro biocompatibility data indicate that NIH 3T3 fibroblasts grow and proliferate on the bio‐nanocomposite hydrogel as well as on hydrogel films.

     

Synthesis of α‐[5‐(5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐imidazolylthio]acetic acids

The paper describes synthesis and antituberculosis activity of α‐[5‐(5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)‐imidazol‐2‐ylthio]acetic acids ( 5a,b ). The compounds were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv in comparison to rifampicin. Compounds exhibited low activity (MIC ≤ 6.25 μg/ml, % inhibition ≥ 24).     

Synthesis and antimalarial activity of 7‐benzylamino‐1‐isoquinolinamines

Computer modelling suggests that 7‐benzylamino‐1‐isoquinolinamines should mediate antimalarial effects by a mechanism distinct from that employed by existing antimalarial drugs. A series of these compounds was prepared in seven synthetic steps, via reductive amination of 1,7‐isoquinolinediamine. In vitro efficacy testing of the novel compounds against Plasmodium falciparum revealed them to be potent antimalarial agents.     

Asymmetric alkylation of N‐acylisoindolin‐1‐ones via α‐bromoimides: A novel route to 1‐substituted isoindolines

Key intermediate in the synthesis of the title compounds 9a‐c and 10a‐c was the chiral α‐bromoimide 1 which has been prepared by radical bromination of the corresponding N‐acylisoindolin‐1‐one 13. 1 was alkylated with silyl enol ethers under Lewis acid catalysis using α‐amidoalkylation methodology. N,N‐diacyliminium ion 14 is presumably the intermediate in this reaction. Further transformations of the alkylated compounds yielded 1‐substituted isoindolines as target compounds.
