Abstract

A series of novel anthranilic diamide derivatives containing pyridylpyrazole and iminodithiocarbamate or thiosemicarbazone motifs were synthesized via multi-step reactions. The structures of seven title compounds (methyl 2-(2-(3-bromo-1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamido)-5-chloro-3- methylbenzylidene)hydrazinecarbodithioate 7 and 3-bromo-N-(2-((2-substitutedcarbamothioylhydrazono)methyl)-4-chloro-6-methylphenyl)-1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide 8a-8f) were confirmed by melting points, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. The bioassays showed that some of the compounds exhibited modest insecticidal activities against oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata Walker), particularly, compound 8b (3-bromo-N-(4-chloro-2-methyl-6-((2-(methylcarbamothioyl)hydrazono)methyl)phenyl)-1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide) held 100% and 30% larvicidal activity at the concentration of 25?mg/L and 10?mg/L, respectively. In addition, several compounds displayed favorable fungicidal activities against Alternaria solani Sorauer and Physalospora piricola at 50?μg/mL, and were comparable with the controls Chlorothalonil and Triadimefon. The results in this paper will provide important information for further research and development of sulfur-containing heterocyclic agrochemicals.

Novel pyrethrin derivatives containing hydrazone and 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether moieties: Design,synthesis, and insecticidal activity

Abstract

A series of novel pyrethrin derivatives containing hydrazone and 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their insecticidal activity. Bioassays indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella (P. xylostella), Vegetable aphids (V. aphids), and Empoasca vitis (E. vitis). In particular, compound (E)-2-((5-(2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)cyclopropyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)-N'-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)acetohydrazide (6s) revealed excellent insecticidal activities against P. xylostella, V. aphids, and E. vitis with the 50% lethal concentration (LC₅₀) values of 5.23, 7.07, and 1.61?mg/L, respectively, which were similar to or even better than those of chlorpyrifos, beta cypermethrin, spinosad, and azadirachtin. These results indicated that novel pyrethrin derivatives containing hydrazone and 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether moieties could be developed as novel and promising insecticides.     

Morpholine hydrazone scaffold: Synthesis,anticancer activity and docking studies

In this paper, synthesis and anticancer activities of morpholine hydrazones scaffold(1-17) thoroughly studied. Small series of morpholine hydrazones synthesized by treating 5-morpholinothiophene-2-carbaldehyde with different aryl hydrazides to form morpholine hydrazones scaffold(1-17). The in vitro anticancer potential of all these compounds was checked against human cancer cell lines like Hep G2(human hepatocellular liver carcinoma) and MCF-7(human breast adenocarcinoma). Analogs 13 had similar substantial cytotoxic effects towards Hep G2 with IC_(50) value 6.31±1.03μmmol/L when compared with the standard Doxorubicin(IC_(50)value 6.00±0.80μmmol/L); while compounds 5,8 and 9 showed potent cytotoxicity against MCF-7 with IC_(50) value 7.08±0.42μmmol/L, 1.26±0.34μmmol/L and11.22±0.22μmmol/L respectively when compared with the standard Tamoxifen(IC_(50)= 11.00±0.40μmol/L). Molecular docking studies also performed to understand the binding interaction.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic investigation and biological activity of metal complexes with ONO trifunctionalalized hydrazone ligand

Mn^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II, La^III, Ru^III, Hf^IV, Zr^IV and U^VI complexes of 4-methylphenylamino acetoacetylacetone hydrazone have been synthesized and characterized by elementals analyses, i.r., u.v.–vis. spectra, magnetic moments, conductances, thermal analyses (d.t.a and t.g.a) and e.s.r measurements. The i.r. data show that, the ligand behaves as a neutral bidentate type (10), (13) and neutral tridentate type (4), (11), (12) and (21) monobasic bidentate type (7) or monobasic tridentate type (2), (3), (5), (6), (8), (14), (15), (16), (18), (19), (20) and (22) or dibasic tridentate type (5), (9) and (17) towards the metal ion. Molar conductances in DMF solution indicate that, the complexes are non-electrolytes. The e.s.r spectra of solid complexes (8) and (10) show axial type spectra with , d(x²-y²) ground state with significant covalent bond character. However, complex (12), shows an isotropic type, indicating a octahedral manganese(II) complex. Antibacterial and antifungal tests of the ligand and some of its metal complexes are also carried out and it has been observed that, the complexes are more potent bactericides and fungicides than the ligand.

Synthesis,characterization and crystal structures of oxidovanadium(V) hydrazone complexes with antibacterial activity

Abstract

Reaction of VO(acac)₂ with the hydrazone ligands N’-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3methylbenzohydrazide (H₂L¹) and N’-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-methyl-4-nitrobenzohydrazide (H₂L²) afforded two oxidovanadium(V) complexes, [VOL¹(OMe)(MeOH)] (1) and [VOL²(OEt)(EtOH)] (2), respectively. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, molar conductivity and X-ray single crystal diffraction techniques. The hydrazone ligands coordinate to the V ions through the phenolate oxygen, imino nitrogen and enolate oxygen atoms. The V ions in both complexes are in octahedral coordination, with the three donor atoms of the hydrazone ligands, and with the other three sites furnished by one methanol or ethanol oxygen atom, one deprotonated methanol or ethanol oxygen atom, and one oxo oxygen. The complexes were assayed for their antibacterial activity on the bacteria B. subtilis, E. coli, P. putida and S. aureus.

A series of cis‐ and trans‐isomers of hydrazone derivatives were separated and analyzed through HPLC with diode‐array detection and HPLC‐MS/MS using ESI and ion trap MS. Two single crystals (A‐5‐1 and C‐2‐1) of the trans‐isomers were obtained and determined using X‐ray crystallography data, and the cis‐ to trans‐isomerization under different conditions was discussed. Both of the cis‐ and trans‐isomers of A‐4 and A‐5 exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella.
