Synthesis,studies and in vitro antibacterial activity of some 5-(thiophene-2-yl)-phenyl pyrazoline derivatives

In the present investigation, a novel series of pyrazolines 2a–2d were synthesized by the cyclization of various -1-[2-(alkoxy) phenyl]-3-(thiophen-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one 1a–1d with N-substituted phenyl hydrazine and thiosemicarbazide in the presence of CH₃COOH and NaOH in ethanol which lead to the formation of new pyrazolines. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by, IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, ESI-MS spectral data and their purities were confirmed by elemental analyes. The in vitro antibacterial activity of these compounds was evaluated against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus by microdilution method and then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these compounds was determined. The results showed that compounds 1-[2-(benzyloxy) phenyl]-5-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl (2b) and 1-[2-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy) phenyl]-5-(thiophene-2-yl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-yl (2d) showed most promising antibacterial activity as compared to the antibiotics gentamicin and tetracycline in (Table 1, Table 2).     

Synthesis,characterization and in vitro antiprotozoal studies of iron(III) complexes of some antimalarial drugs

We present the synthesis, characterization and in vitro antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal studies of iron(III) complexes of amodiaquine, trimethoprim and pyrimethamine. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, electronic and IR spectroscopy and room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The spectra are consistent with octahedral geometry around the metal ions. The complexes were tested for in vitro activity against cultures of Plasmodium falciparum, Tripanosoma brucei rhodosiense, L. donovani and Tripanosoma cruzi. One of the complexes showed enhanced activity of about 8.4 times more than chloroquine against the resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and in vitro antitumor activity of a novel tetranuclear Di-n-butyltin(IV)

A di-n-butyltin(IV) complex with (E)-3-(4-(9H-carbazole-9-yl)phenyl) acrylic acid (HL) of the formula {[n-Bu₂SnOL]₂O}₂ was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. This complex is a tetranuclear one with ladder framework. Furthermore, this complex was tested in vitro for its cytotoxic activity, using human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (BEL-7402) and human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2); 5-Fluorouracil was used as a positive control substance. This complex showed cytotoxicity greater than that of 5-Fluorouracil.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and in vitro antitumor activity of carboxylate bridged dinuclear organotin(IV) complexes

Two novel dinuclear organotin(IV) complexes [n-Bu₂Sn(imda)(H₂O)]₂·Bipy (1) and [n-Bu₂Sn(imda)(H₂O)]₂·Phen (2) [H₂imda = iminodiacetic acid, Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine and Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] were synthesised and characterized employing IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic and elemental analyses. Single crystal X-ray crystallography of 1 has confirmed that it is a binuclear Sn(IV) species formed via carboxylate bridges where each metal adopted a seven coordinate distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. The iminodiacetate dianion (imda²⁻) acts as a potential tridentate [N,O,O] carboxylate bridging ligand. The packing revealed that the additional α-diimine (Bipy or Phen) does not coordinate to metal ion. However, its presence in the crystal lattice as spacer helps for the formation of a supramolecular framework by bringing the two binuclear species close enough through extensive H-bonding. The in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 2 indicate better results than cisplatin against three tumor cell lines investigated.     

Synthesis and in vitro antiprotozoal activity of thiophene ring-containing quinones.

A series of quinones (3a-i, 4-9, 11) and aromatic compounds (2a, 2d, 2g) containing the thiophene ring were tested in vitro against the trypomastigote form of Trypanosoma cruzi and the promastigote forms of Leishmania. The quinones 3a-i, 4, 5a, b, 6 and 9 having the thiophene ring fused to a quinone nucleus were the most active members of the series. The electron affinities of the benzo[b]thiophene-4,7-quinones 3, evaluated by their LUMO energies and halfwave potentials, are reported.     

Synthesis,spectral characterization and crystal structure of copper(II) complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone-N(4)-phenyl semicarbazone

Six new copper(II) complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone-N(4)-phenyl semicarbazone have been synthesized and physico-chemically characterized. The tridentate character of the semicarbazone is inferred from IR spectra. Based on EPR studies, the spin Hamiltonian and bonding parameters have been calculated. The g   values, calculated for all the complexes in frozen DMF, indicate the presence of the unpaired electron in the d_x2-y2${\text{d}}_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital. The metal–ligand bonding parameters evaluated showed strong in-plane σ and in-plane π-bonding. The structure of the compound, CuLphen has been resolved using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structure revealed a monoclinic lattice with space group symmetry P2₁/c. The compound adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry with a N₂O₂ core as the base.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,in vitro cytotoxic and structure activity relationships of some mononuclear Ru(II) complexes

New mononuclear Ru(II) complexes [Ru(A)₂(B)]²⁺, where A?=?2,2′-bipyridine/1,10-phenanthroline and B?=?3,4,5-tri-OCH₃-DPC, 4-CH₃-DPC, 4-N(CH₃)₂-DPC, 4-NO₂-DPC, N-BITSZ, PTSZ and PINH, were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of the complexes and their corresponding ligands were investigated against the human cancer T-lymphocyte cell lines molt 4/c8 and CEM and the murine tumor leukemia cell line L1210, human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) and Bel-7402 liver cancer cells by MTT assay. The complexes [Ru(A)₂(B)]²⁺ (A?=?1,10-phenanthroline, B?=?3,4,5-tri-OCH₃-DPC) exerts rather more potent activities against all of these cell lines, especially for CEM and L1210. Ru complexes and structure–activity relationships and anticancer mechanisms are also discussed.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,DNA/BSA interaction and in vitro antitumor activity of N-heterocycle Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes

Investigation of N-heterocycle transition metal complexes has led to the discovery of metal-based antitumor agents. Herein, two binuclear complexes, [Cu(p-4-bmb)(Ac)₂]₂ (1) and [Co(p-4-bmp)Cl₂]₂ (2), were prepared and characterized. The interactions of 1 and 2 with calf thymus (CT)-DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were detected by absorbance and emission spectroscopy. The complexes bind to CT-DNA via an intercalative mode and show moderate affinity to BSA. Both complexes exhibited remarkable DNA cleavage activity. The MTT assay demonstrated that 1 exhibited higher cytotoxicity against three human alimentary system carcinoma cell lines compared to 2. Further, a cellular uptake assay demonstrated that 1 can accumulate in the nucleus and mitochondria of SMMC7721 cells to induce DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Fluorescence staining and flow cytometry analyses revealed that 1 can induce cell death by apoptosis. These findings should promote the development of benzimidazole-based transition metal complexes as novel chemotherapy agents with fewer side effects than conventional antitumor drugs.

Synthesis, crystal structure of bis(arylamido)lanthanide methyl complexes and their catalytic behavior for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate

Reactions of [N(C₆H₃i-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]₂LnCl(THF) (Ln=Nd, Yb) with two equivalents of MeLi in a mixture solution of toluene and Et₂O gave [N(C₆H₃i-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]₂LnCH₃(μ-CH₃)Li(THF)₃·PhCH₃ (Ln=Nd (1), Yb (2)) in good isolated yields as crystalline solids. The single-crystal structural analysis of 2 revealed that the coordination geometry of ytterbium ion is best described as a distorted pseudo-tetrahedron. Both 1 and 2 are active for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate to give syndiotactic-rich and high molecular weight polymers (M_n>10⁴) with relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n<2).     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,crystal structure,and anti-bacterial activity of diorganotin(IV) complexes with 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazone

Three new diorganotin(IV) complexes, [Me₂Sn(BDET] (2), [Bu₂Sn(BDET)] (3), and [Ph₂Sn(BDET)] (4), were synthesized by reacting R₂SnCl₂ (R = Me, Bu, and Ph) with 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazone [H₂BDET, (1)] in the presence of KOH in absolute methanol. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, UV–vis, FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopies. The molecular structure of 4 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. X-ray crystallography revealed that the doubly deprotonated O,N,S-tridentate thiosemicarbazone coordinates to tin(IV), resulting in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Their ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra support a five-coordinate tin(IV) in solution for all complexes, in accord with the solid-state X-ray structure determined for 4. Compounds 1–4 were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhi. The results exhibited that 2–4 were active with comparable potency compared to the standard drug. Antibacterial studies also indicated that the complexes have potential for biological evaluation.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and in vitro fungicidal activity of some organotin(IV) complexes

Triphenyl-and tribenzyltin(IV) complexes of the ligand (sodium 5,5-diethyl barbital) have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic methods.

Furthermore, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the complexes was examined.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of some 3,5-pyrazolidinediones

Syntheses of various derivatives of 3,5-pyrazolidenedione are reported. This includes 4-arylidene (alkylidene or aralkylidene)-3,5-pyrazolidinediones, which on epoxidation gave unreported oxiranes. The syntheses of these derivatives were based on either the Knoevenagel reaction of carbonyl derivatives with 3,4-pyrazolidinedione or cyclization of arylidene (alkylidene) malonic acid hydrazide with glacial acetic acid. 4-Arylazo-3,5-pyrazolidinedione derivatives were also prepared by coupling of aryldiazonium salts with 3,5-pyrazolidinedione or cyclization of arylazomalonic acid hydrazide. Reduction of 4-benzylidene derivatives gave the corresponding benzyl derivatives. The structure of the new products was confirmed by elemental and spectral analyses and X-ray crystallography.
