An effective green and ecofriendly catalyst for synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes as promising antimicrobial agents

An effective and suitable meglumine‐catalyzed high‐yielding process was considered and engaged for the synthesis of new bis(indolyl)methanes at ambient temperature under aqueous conditions. The catalytic reaction proceeds very smoothly. Clean reaction, ease of product isolation/purification, easily available reactant and ecofriendly reaction conditions are the notable advantages of the present methodology. All the title compounds were characterized by IR, 1H, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. All the synthesized compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity, and the results indicated that most of the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent activity against the tested microorganisms. In this new series, compound 3l , having nitro substituent on the aromatic ring, showed exceptional potent inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Penicillium chrysogenum.

A novel series of piperazine-1,2,3-triazole bearing dimethyl(((2-(4-((1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethylamino)(2-hydroxyaryl)methyl)phosphonate derivatives have been prepared via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) (Click Reaction) and Schiff base reactions. The synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral characterization (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR, and mass). The title compounds were evaluated for in vitro alpha glucosidase enzyme inhibition and in vitro antioxidant activity using DPPH and H₂O₂ methods.

A meglumine catalyst–based synthesis,molecular docking,and antioxidant studies of dihydropyrano[3, 2-b]chromenedione derivatives

A simple method was employed for the synthesis of dihydropyrano[3, 2-b]chromenedione derivatives ( 4a-o) in high yields by condensation of 5, 5-dimethylcyclohexane-1, 3-dione( 1 ), different aromatic aldehydes ( 2a-o ), and 5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one( 3 ), using meglumine as a stable and reusable catalyst. Meglumine, an amino sugar, was employed as an environmentally benign catalyst, due to its splendid properties such as being inexpensive, recyclable, and biodegradable. The accomplished protocol employs low catalyst loading and easy work-up for the synthesis of 5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one derivatives. A great asset is that without any significant loss, the catalyst could be recovered and reused for extended synthetic steps. This offer huge advantage to overcome recyclability issues. Our synthesized compounds were analyzed by IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR, mass spectra and evaluated for their antioxidant properties by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide(H₂O₂), and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging methods. The correlation in exhibition of antioxidant activity was effective at all doses. The binding interactions and molecular docking studies for entitled compounds were studied against 3MNG protein; 4k exhibited marked binding affinity with excellent docking score of −7.6 Kcal/mol and emerged as a lead compound.     

One-pot green synthesis and cytotoxicity of new <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>-aminophosphonates

A novel series of α-aminophosphonates containing the trifluoromethyl aniline moiety were obtained in high yields by condensation of 2-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl aniline, aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes and dimethylphosphite in the presence of chitosan as a catalyst. The molecular modeling studies revealed their important structural features of binding affinities towards the target enzyme. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated against PC-3(prostate cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer), HeLa(cCervix Cancer), U973, K562 and HL60 human lLeukemia cell lines. Compound 4k with a pyrene moiety showed high potency against a breast cancer cell line, while compounds 4g and 4k exhibited more promising cytotoxicity against U973, K562 and HL60 cell lines.     

Design and Synthesis of Some New Benzimidazole Containing Pyrazoles and Pyrazolyl Thiazoles as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

A new class of bis heterocycles‐benzimidazolyl pyrazoles were prepared from the Michael acceptor (E)‐3‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐1‐aryl‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐one. The thiamide group was exploited to develop thiazole ring on treatment with p‐fluorophenacyl bromide to get tris heterocycles. All the lead compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity. The compound 7d having nitro substituent on the aromatic ring showed greater antimicrobial activity particularly against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Penicillium chrysogenum.

Amongst all the tested compounds 7c, 9a, and 9c are potential antimicrobial agents against S. aureus and P. chrysogenum.     

Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis of N‐Substituted Maleimide Derivatives as Exogenous Antioxidant Agents

A series of N‐substituted maleimide derivatives have been developed via acetic acid‐mediated microwave reaction pathway, which was identified as the incomparable method for this maleimide compounds. All the synthesized compounds were tested for antioxidant activity by DPPH and H₂O₂ methods. Compounds 5h and 5m were displayed with higher antioxidant activity in two methods. The structure–activity relationship demonstrated that the compounds having electron releasing substitutions 5h and 5m generally show beneficial activity than electron capture substitution cores. Thus, compounds 5h and 5m may be useful as an exogenous antioxidant.     

Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) catalyzed synthesis and α-glucosidase activity of some novel tetrahydropyridine phosphonate derivatives

Abstract

A simple and highly efficient multicomponent one-pot synthesis of a series of pharmaceutically interesting functionalized tetrahydropyridine phosphonate derivatives has been developed based on low-cost and environmentally benign ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) catalyst via tandem reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, diethylphosphoramidate and various aromatic aldehydes in acetonitrile at room temperature. High atom economy, good yields, eco-friendliness and mild reaction conditions are some of the important features of this protocol.
