Synthesis and Biological Activity of 3-[4H-(1,2,4)-Triazolyl]-2,6-diaryl-1,3,5-oxadiazine-4-thione

4-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (1) undergoes facile condensation with aromatic aldehydes to afford the corresponding 4-(arylidene-amino)-4H-[1,2,4]-triazole (2a–h) in good yield. Rearrangement of compounds (2a–h) with benzoyl isothiocyanate/4-chloro-benzoyl isothiocyanate/2,4-dichloro-benzoyl isothiocyanate yields corresponding 1,3,5-oxadiazine derivatives (3). Structural elucidation of these compounds was based on elementary analysis and spectral data studies. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activities.     

Separation,interconversion, and insecticidal activity of the cis‐ and trans‐isomers of novel hydrazone derivatives

A series of cis‐ and trans‐isomers of hydrazone derivatives were separated and analyzed through HPLC with diode‐array detection and HPLC‐MS/MS using ESI and ion trap MS. Two single crystals (A‐5‐1 and C‐2‐1) of the trans‐isomers were obtained and determined using X‐ray crystallography data, and the cis‐ to trans‐isomerization under different conditions was discussed. Both of the cis‐ and trans‐isomers of A‐4 and A‐5 exhibited good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella.     

Synthesis of Schiff's bases in aqueous medium: a green alternative approach with effective mass yield and high reaction rates

Abstract

Schiff's bases constitute a class of pharmaceutical and medicinally important molecules. The conventional methods for the synthesis of Schiff's bases require long reaction times and use of organic solvents. We report a novel and eco-friendly condensation reaction method permitting the “green synthesis” of various Schiff's bases by stirring 1,2-diaminobenzene with various aromatic aldehydes in water as solvent. This method is experimentally simple, clean, high yielding, green, and with reduced reaction times. The product is purified by simple filtration followed by washing with water and drying processes.     

Synthesis of Privileged Scaffolds by Using Diversity‐Oriented Synthesis

An elegant reagent‐controlled strategy has been developed for the generation of a diverse range of biologically active scaffolds from a chiral bicyclic lactam. Reduction of the chiral lactam with LAH or alkylation with LHMDS to trigger different cyclization reactions have been shown to generate privileged scaffolds, such as pyrrolidines, indolines, and cyclotryptamines. Their amenability to substitution allows us to create various compound libraries by using these scaffolds. In silico studies were used to estimate the drug‐like properties of these compounds. Selected compounds were subjected to anticancer screening by using three different cell lines. In addition, all these compounds were subjected to antibacterial screening to gauge the spectrum of biological activity that was conferred by our DOS methodology. Gratifyingly, with no additional iterative cycles, our method directly generated anticancer compounds with potency at low nanomolar concentrations, as represented by spiroindoline 14 .     

Ligand‐Functionalization of BPEI‐Coated YVO4:Bi3+,Eu3+ Nanophosphors for Tumor‐Cell‐Targeted Imaging Applications

In this study, surface‐functionalized, branched polyethylenimine (BPEI)‐modified YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ nanocrystals (NCs) were successfully synthesized by a simple, rapid, solvent‐free hydrothermal method. The BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs with high crystallinity show broad‐band excitation in the λ=250 to 400 nm near‐ultraviolet (NUV) region and exhibit a sharp‐line emission band centered at λ=619 nm under excitation at λ=350 nm. The surface amino groups contributed by the capping agent, BPEI, not only improve the dispersibility and water/buffer stability of the BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs, but also provide a capability for specifically targeted biomolecule conjugation. Folic acid (FA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were further attached to the BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs and exhibited effective positioning of fluorescent NCs toward the targeted folate receptor overexpressed in HeLa cells or EGFR overexpressed in A431 cells with low cytotoxicity. These results demonstrate that the ligand‐functionalized, BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺, Eu³⁺ NCs show great potential as a new‐generation biological luminescent bioprobe for bioimaging applications. Moreover, the unique luminescence properties of BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs show potential to combine with a UVA photosensitizing drug to produce both detective and therapeutic effects for human skin cancer therapy.

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.     

Biochemical study for the effect of henna (Lawsonia inermis) on Escherichia coli

Leaf samples of Lawsonia inermis (Li) were examined for their antimicrobial potential. Broth extracts in different concentrations were prepared and bioassayed in vitro for the growth of Escherichia coli. The growth of E. coli pathogen was inhibited to various degrees by increasing the concentration of the herbal powder. In addition to the observed alterations which were detected electrophoretically in the protein pattern, were activities of the amylase enzyme and glycoprotein fractions. The protein pattern has one common band of Rf 0.47 and two characteristic bands of Rf 0.36 and Rf 0.42 for E. coli sample. The quantitative mutation was observed in the bacteria with different concentrations of L. inermis compared with the control. Some types of proteins in E. coli completely disappeared upon being S.I affected. The amylase pattern showed one common band with Rf 0.037 and two characteristic bands with Rf 0.18 and Rf 0.37 for E. coli sample. The obvious quantitative mutation observed in bacteria with different concentrations of L. inermis compared with E. coli. The glycoprotein pattern recorded one common band at R₁ with Rf 0.94 for E. coli sample and bacteria inoculated with different concentrations of L. inermis. These results confirmed the antibacterial activity of henna leaves and supported the traditional use of the plant in therapy of bacterial infections and disturbances that occurred at the biochemical level. The broth extract of the L. inermis leaves showed obvious antibacterial activity against E. coli.
