Synthesis, characterization and biological activity of polyketones

Polyketone resins have been prepared by the Friedel-Crafts polymerization of dithiophenylidenecyclopentanone (Ⅰ), dithiophenylidenecyclohexanone (Ⅱ) and dithiophenylideneacetone (Ⅲ) with adipoyl, sebacoyl and terephthaloyl dichlorides using boron trifluoride as catalyst and carbon disulphide as solvent. Polymers were characterized with IR, 1 H-NMR, and the results showed the presence of carbonyl of ketonic groups in the main chain. The polyketones have inherent viscosities of 0.40-0.70 dL/g. All the polymers are semicrystalline and most of them are partially soluble in most common organic solvents but freely soluble in aprotic solvents. The temperatures of 50% weight loss are as high as 185℃ to 280℃ in air, indicating that these aromatic polyketones have excellent thermal stability. All the polyketones were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel phenothiazine derivatives as non-peptide arginine vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists

A series of novel phenothiazine derivatives was synthesized and tested for arginine vasopressin receptor antagonist activity. They were synthesized as novel arginine vasopressin receptor antagonists from phenothiazine as a scaffold via successive acylation, reduction and acylation reactions. Their structures were characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMRandHRMS, and biological activitywas evaluated by in vitro and in vivo studies. The in vitro binding assay indicated that several compounds are potent selective V2 receptor antagonists. Compounds with promising binding affinity to V2 receptors were selected to conduct the in vivo diuretic studies on Sprague-Dawley rats. Among them, 1n, 1r, 1t and 1v exhibited excellent diuretic activity, especially 1r and 1v. Therefore, 1r and 1v are potent novelAVP V2receptor antagonist candidates.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of triazole analogues of antillatoxin

Antillatoxin 1, a cyclic lipopeptide, is known as an activator of voltage-gated sodium channels and exhibits potent neurotoxicity toward Neuro 2a mouse neuroblastoma cells. To investigate the biological effects of the side-chain structures at C5 and C5′ in detail, we planned SAR studies of C5- and C5′-modified antillatoxin analogues. To diversify the structures at the last step of the synthesis, two key intermediates 4 and 6 possessing terminal alkynes at the C5- and C5′-positions were designed and synthesized using two distinct strategies. Sixteen side-chain derivatives were then prepared from 4 and 6 by coupling with a wide variety of azides via click chemistry, and subjected to the cytotoxicity assay. Although almost all of the C5-substituted analogues exhibited no cytotoxicity, the C5′-substituted analogues showed modest cytotoxicity. These results showed that C5′ is more tolerant than C5 to structural modifications. The present SAR study will provide valuable information for designing new antillatoxin-based molecular probes for neuroscience research.     

Dispersive derivatization liquid-liquid extraction of degradation products/precursors of mustards and V-agents from aqueous samples

A new derivatization and extraction technique termed as dispersive derivatization liquid-liquid extraction (DDLLE) speeds up the analysis process by removing the requirement for drying of the sample. The derivatization process takes place at the interface between the analyte containing aqueous phase and derivatization agent laden organic phase. The organic phase is highly dispersed using disperser solvent so that the total surface area is large. The derivatizing agent used is 1-(heptafluorobutyryl)imidazole and the resulting heptafluorobutyryl (HFB) derivatized analytes are partitioned into the organic phase. In addition to reduced sample preparation time, for some of the analytes, the HFB derivatives provide better spectral differentiation between isomers than conventional trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives. Method parameters for the DDLLE, such as extraction, and disperser solvent and their volume, type and amount of base, amount of heptafluorobutyrylimidazole and extraction time were optimized on diisopropylaminoethanol (DiPAE), ethyldiethanolamine (EDEA), triethanolamine (TEA) and thiodiglycol (TDG). The DDLLE was also used on various real world samples, which also includes few OPCW organized proficiency test and a spiked urine sample. The observed limit of detection (LOD) with 1mL of sample for DDLLE in full scan with AMDIS was 10ng/mL and with methane chemical ionization, multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was 100pg/mL, i.e., 100fg on-column.     

Design,synthesis and biological evaluation of novel non-azole derivatives as potential antifungal agents

Compound 9A2 exhibits better antifungal activity against 5 tested fungi in vitro than fluconazole, especially against Trichophyton rubrum and Microsporum gypseum. This study provides a series of novel lead compounds for the development of non-azole antifungal agents.

The ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} chemical shifts and ¹H spin–spin couplings of sulfur mustards, nitrogen mustards, and lewisites scheduled in the Chemical Weapons Convention, and those of bis(2‐chloromethyl)disulfide, were determined in CDCl₃, CD₂Cl₂, and (CD₃)₂CO. Accurate parameters of this kind of series can be used for evaluating the current molecular modeling programs and the chemical shift and coupling constant prediction possibilities of the programs. Several prediction tests were made with commercial programs, and the results are reported here. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis,characterization and biological evaluation of some novel sulfonylthiosemicarbazides

Abstract

A series of thiosemicarbazides were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic techniques (NMR, FT-IR) besides elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell line MCF7 and prostate cancer cell line PC3 and nonmalignant fibroblast L929 cell line by MTT assay. Among the compounds, N-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]hydrazinecarbothioamide (3d) and 2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]hydrazinecarbothioamide (3f) were found to display significant cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ of 13.87?μM (against PC3 cell line) and 1.47?μM (against MCF7 cell line), respectively. These compounds were non-cytotoxic to normal cell line with IC₅₀>100?μM. Western blotting studies demonstrated that compound 3f induced apoptosis and caused cell death in the MCF7 and PC3 cell lines via an increase in Bax protein expression and a slight decrease in Bcl-2 protein expression. The gene expression ratio Bax/Bcl-2 showed the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis in cancer cell lines. All of synthesized compounds have also been tested for antioxidant activity and all compounds achieved strong inhibition of the DPPH radical. These findings showed that compound 3f, displays potential to be further explored in the development of new anticancer agents.
