Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Dialkyldithiophosphate Derivatives of Macrocyclic Complexes of Pb(II) Having N2 S2 Potential Donors in 14- to 20-Membered Rings

Dialkyldithiophosphate derivatives of macrocyclic complexes of Pb(II), having N₂S₂ potential donors, of the general formula, [Pb(L)S₂P(OR)₂] (where L = macrocyclic ligands L¹, L², L³, L⁴ & L⁵ and R = CH₃-, C₃H₇ ⁿ- & C₃H₇ ⁱ-) have been Synthesized from the reactions of [Pb(L)X₂] (where X = Cl, NO₃, or CH₃COO) with sodium dialkyl dithiophosphates in 1:2 molar ratios in THF. Fifteen new derivatives have been synthesized by the combination of five macrocyclic complexes of 14–20 member rings with three different types of dialkyldithiophosphate. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, molecular weight determination, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR. Molecular weight determinations of these complexes indicate their monomeric nature. An octahedral structure is proposed.     

Synthesis and Antibacterial Studies of Some Novel 2-(Coumarin-3-yl)-5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazoles Containing 2,4,6-Trisubstituted s-Triazine Derivatives

A new series of 2-(coumarin-3-yl)-5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazoles based on various aryl thiourea/ureas incorporating a 1,3,5-s-triazine moiety is reported. The components of this series have been obtained by the reaction of cyanuric chloride (1) with 2-(coumarin-3-yl)-5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole (2). The prepared 2-{(coumarin-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)-5-thio}-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine (3) was subsequently treated with morpholine (4) to form 2-{(coumarin-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)-5-thio}-4-(morpholino)-6-chloro-s-triazine (5). This was further treated with various substituted aryl urea/thioureas (6a–k/7a–k) to afford the title compounds 8a–k and 9a–k, which were and tested for their antibacterial activity (MIC) against different microorganisms. The structures of the novel synthesized compound have been established on the basis of ¹H NMR and FT-IR data together with elemental analysis.

Polymers Derived from 4-Substituted Salicylic Acids as Antifungal Agents

4-Amino-, chloro-, and bromo-substituted salicylic acid-formaldehyde polymers and their metal chelates were screened for their antifungal activity. Various copolymers prepared from 4-chloro-(bromo)salicylic acid, formaldehyde, and other comonomers were also screened for their antifungal activity. All these polymers, copolymers, and polychelates were found active against several fungi Their fungicidal activities are compared with those of the corresponding monomers and monomeric chelates.     

Magnetic,Spectral, Thermal,and Electrical Properties of Coordination Polymers Derived from Terpolymers

Coordination polymers of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), zinc(II), chromium(IU), iron(IU), oxovanadium(N), and dioxouranium-(VI) with p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB)-thiourea (T)-trioxane (T) (PHBTT) polymer were prepared. The analytical data agree with 1:1 metal-ligand stoichiometry. Magnetic susceptibility, visible and IR spectra, and thermal and electrical conductivities of the chelates have been studied and probable structures assigned to the chelates.     

ToxML,a data exchange standard with content controlled vocabulary used to build better (Q)SAR models

Development of accurate quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models requires the availability of high quality validated data. International regulations such as REACH in Europe will now accept (Q)SAR-based evaluations for risk assessment. The number of toxicity datasets available for those wishing to share knowledge, or to use for data mining and modelling, is continually expanding. The challenge is the current use of a multitude of different data formats. The issues of comparing or combining disparate data apply both to public and proprietary sources. The ToxML project addresses the need for a common data exchange standard that allows the representation and communication of these data in a well-structured electronic format. It is an open standard based on Extensible Markup Language (XML). Supporting information for overall toxicity endpoint data can be included within ToxML files. This makes it possible to assess the quality and detail of the data used in a model. The data file model allows the aggregation of experimental data to the compound level in the detail needed to support (Q)SAR work. The standard is published on a website together with tools to view, edit and download it.     

Synthesis,method optimization,anticancer activity of 2,3,7-trisubstituted Quinazoline derivatives and targeting EGFR-tyrosine kinase by rational approach: 1st Cancer Update

A novel 3-(substituted benzylideneamino)-7-chloro-2-phenyl quinazoline-4(3H)-one (7–27) has been synthesized and characterised by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. We changed the methodology for the synthesis of 3-amino 7-chloro-2-phenyl quinazolin-4(3H)-one 6 to fusion reaction at 250 °C, instead of using solvent, to avoid the problem of ring opening, which is commonly observed while synthesizing quinazolines from benzoxazinone. NCI selected, 7-chloro-3-{[(4-chlorophenyl) methylidene] amino}-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one 12, with GI₅₀ value of ?5.59 M, TGI value of ?5.12 M, and LC₅₀ value of ?4.40 M showed remarkable activity against CNS SNB-75 Cancer cell line. Rational approach and QSAR techniques enabled the understanding of the pharmacophoric requirement for 2,3,7-tri substituted quinazoline derivatives to inhibit EGFR-tyrosine kinase as antitumor agents and could be used as an excellent framework in this field that may lead to discovery of potent anti tumor agent.     

Modified Pyridine-Substituted Coumarins: A New Class of Antimicrobial and Antitubercular Agents

Some new biologically potent coumarin derivatives 7a–f, 8a–f, and 9a–f bearing modified pyridine moieties (indeno[1,2-b]pyridine, 4-azaphenanthrene and benzofuro [3,2-b]pyridine) at the sixth position were designed and synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were assayed for their antimicrobial efficiency against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger. Most of the compounds showed appreciable antimicrobial activity against the tested strains. Compounds 8b, 8c, 9b, 9d, and 9f emerged as most proficient members of the series. The antitubercular activity for all the synthesized compounds was performed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37R_v. Compounds 8f, 9b, and 9f exhibited promising antitubercular activity. Consequently, synthesized derivatives were found to be worthy of further investigation.     

Alkylation of Ethanolamines: An Approach to a Novel Class of Functional Surfactants

Some monomeric and dimeric surfactants with functional head groups have been synthesized from di- and triethanolamine synthons. The treatment of alkyl bromide with triethanolamine resulted in simultaneous N-alkylation and O-alkylation products. However, with diethanolamine, N-alkylated products were obtained, which were further used to synthesize various double-tailed surfactants and gemini surfactants.
