Novel Synthesis of Condensed Pyridin-2(1H)-one and Pyrimidine Derivatives

The reaction of N-chloroacetyl derivatives 6-10 with morpholine yielded N-morpholin-1-yl acetyl derivatives 11-15 , which were subjected to Thorpe-Zieler cyclization with sodium tert -butoxide to produce the corresponding condensed pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives 16-20 . Treatment of compounds 1 , 6-10 with either malononitrile or p -chlorobenzylidinemalononitrile in presence of triethylamine, afforded the corresponding pyrimidines 21-25 , 27 and pyridine derivative 26 respectively. Moreover compound 1 a was treated with ethyl isothiocyanoacetate to give the corresponding piprazine derivative 28 .     

Chemistry of Phosphorus Ylides. Part 34 Synthesis of Chromenone Phosphanylidene and Cyclobutylidene Derivatives

Abstract

The reaction of nucleophilic phosphacumulene ylides with visnaginone and khellinone afforded the corresponding phosphanylidene and furochromene derivatives. Moreover, pyranochromenes were obtained from the reaction of chromene carbaldehydes with phosphacumulenes. On the other hand, the phosphanylidene-cyclobutylidenes and their dimers were produced from the reaction of furochromene carbaldehydes with the same phosphonium reagents.     

Synthesis of Some New Spiro Heterocycles from the Reaction of Cycloalkylidenemal Ononitriles with Active Methylene Reagents

The reaction of cycloalkylidenemalononitriles 1a–c with some active methylene reagents as well as cycloalkanones in boiling ethanol containing piperidine catalyst affords a series of new spiro heterocyclic systems.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Self-Assembling Some Thiol Surfactants on Gold Nanoparticles

The purpose of this work is to study the self-assembling of some synthesized thiol surfactants namely (mercaptopropane-, mercaptohexane-, mercaptooctane-, and mercaptodecane sodium sulfonate) on the fabricated gold nanoparticles. The self-assembling of these surfactants on gold nanoparticles characterized using different techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Spectroscopic evidence suggests that the synthesized thiol surfactants have been attached to the gold nanoparticles. The effect of self-assembling of these surfactants on the size of the gold nanoparticles was studied using TEM images. The growth of the gold nanoparticles was investigated with respect to the increase of alkyl chain in the synthesized thiol surfactants. The results show that the stabilization of gold nanoparticles was affected by the increase in alkyl chain length of these surfactants. The effect of gold nanoparticles on the interfacial tension and the emulsion stability of these surfactants with crude oil was studied.     

Formulation of Risperidone as Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System in Form of Effervescent Tablets

Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia. This study aims to formulate risperidone as effervescent tablets to improve patient compliance. Different nanoemulsion combinations were loaded with risperidone to improve its poor water solubility then adsorbed on Aeroperl. The formula showing highest drug dissolution was formulated as effervescent tablets. Factorial design was applied for different tablet formulation variables and the prepared formulae were tested for different criteria in comparison with their corresponding formulae containing drug without nanoemulsion formulation. Statistical analysis was used to determine the most desirable tablet formula considering its Carr index, effervescence time, and drug release.     

Synthesis of some new pyrimidine derivatives and evaluation of their anticancer and antibacterial activities

Starting from the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with thiourea and the appropriate aldehydes, a series of new pyrimidine derivatives were prepared. Ten selected pyrimidine derivatives were subjected to a screening system for the investigation of their antitumor potency against liver (HEPG2) cell line. The antitumor activity results indicated that most of the selected pyrimidine derivatives showed moderate growth inhibition activity against the tested cell line, but with varying intensities in comparison to the known anticancer drugs: 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin. Some of the synthesized compounds were also tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria as well as fungal isolates.
