Design,Synthesis, and Cytotoxic Activity of Novel Natural Arylsulfonamide-Inspired Molecules

Primary arylsulfonamide functional groups feature prominently in diverse pharmaceuticals. However, natural arylsulfonamides are relatively infrequent. In this work, two novel arylsulfonamide natural products were first synthesized, and then a series of novel molecules derived from natural arylsulfonamides were designed and synthesized, and their in vitro cytotoxic activities against A875, HepG2, and MARC145 cell lines were systematically evaluated. The results indicate that some of these arylsulfonamide derivatives exhibit significantly good cytotoxic activity against the tested cell lines compared with the control 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), such as compounds 10l, 10p, 10q, and 10r. In particular, the potential molecule 10q, containing a carbazole moiety, exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against all tested cell lines, with IC₅₀ values of 4.19 ± 0.78, 3.55 ± 0.63, and 2.95 ± 0.78 μg/mL, respectively. This will offer the potential to discover novel drug-like compounds from the sparsely populated area of natural products that can lead to effective anticancer agents.     

手性胺酰胺型液相色谱手性固定相的制备及几种氨基酸衍生物的拆分

用(R)-1-苯基2-对甲基苯基乙基胺(PTE)与L-异亮氨酸制得含两个手性中心的手性选择剂,以琥珀酸酐作为连接臂,将手性选择剂键合到氨基丙基硅胶上制得手性固定相。以正己烷-异丙醇为流动相,利用该固定相对氨基酸衍生物进行高效液相色谱手性拆分,并考察了流动相中异丙醇含量对手性拆分的影响。结果表明,该手性固定相对所分析的氨基酸衍生物大部分都具有一定的拆分能力。当异丙醇含量为1%时,亮氨酸与苯丙氨酸的苯甲酰甲酯衍生物获得基线分离。当异丙醇含量为20%时,亮氨酸、缬氨酸、丙氨酸、谷氨酸的3,5-二硝基苯甲酰甲酯衍生物获得基线分离。     

两个新的苯并噻唑衍生物的合成与光物理性质

以苯并噻唑、苯乙酰基和吡啶阳离子为电子受体,二乙烯基苯为共轭桥,合成了两个新的A-π-A′型苯并噻唑衍生物:4-(2-苯并噻唑)-乙烯基查尔酮(1)和4-{4-[2-(苯并噻唑)乙烯基]苯乙烯基}-N-甲基吡啶碘盐(2).研究了它们在溶液和固体基质中的光物理性质.研究发现:染料2由于具有较强的极性和较好的平面性,从而具有较长的吸收、发射峰和较强的荧光发射.有机染料在聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/溶胶-凝胶复合玻璃中的发光行为与聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯和溶胶-凝胶玻璃二者的基质性质有关,同时由于固体基质中分子发生聚集的可能性降低,荧光强度相对于同浓度溶液增强,稳定性提高.     

3-取代苯基-5-(3'-吲哚基)-异(噁)唑啉衍生物的谱学研究

现代红外光谱技术以其分析速度快、重现性好、成本低、且不消耗样品等特点正得到越来越广泛的应用,文章利用傅里叶红外技术,研究了9种含有吲哚基和苯基的3-取代苯基-5-(3'-吲哚基)-异(噁)唑啉衍生物的红外光谱的特征吸收规律,指出了这类化合物不同取代基对红外吸收谱带的影响;同时,利用核磁共振技术,对3-取代苯基-5-(3'-吲哚基)-异(噁)唑啉衍生物的1H NMR的共振谱带做了全面的归属,其化学位移的变化规律与红外光谱一致,为这类化合物的结构与谱学研究提供了一条很好的途径.     

Practical Synthesis of New β‐Diketone‐Connected Bipyridine and Its Conversion to Pyrazole‐Centered Bipyridine Ligand

Two new polydentate ligands, 1‐(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)‐propane‐1,3‐dione (6) and 1,3‐bis(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐propane‐1, 3‐dione (8), have been synthesized starting from 2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid by conventional esterification, reduction, and condensation reactions. They were further converted to two new polydentate ligands, 3‐(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐pyrazole (7) and 3,5‐bis(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐pyrazole (9), by reaction with hydrazine hydrate. These four compounds were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), electrospray ionization‐mass spectrum (ESI‐MS), infrared spectrum (IR), and elemental analyses. The structure of 9 was also determined by X‐ray diffraction.

A Sensitive Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Some Imidazoline Derivatives by 2,6-Dichlorophenol-Indophenol

Abstract

A new and highly sensitive method is presented for the spectrophotometric determination of four imidazoline derivatives: antazoline hydrochloride, tolazoline hydrochloride, xylometazoline hydrochloride and naphazoline nitrate. The method is based on the reaction of the corresponding drug base with 2,6 - dichlorophenol -indophenol (DGPIP) in chloroform to give a blue chromogen exhibiting a maximum at 588 - 603nm. The method could be applied for the quantitative determination of the above drugs either pure or in their pharmaceutical preparations (tablets and nasal drops). The results obtained are accurate and have good reproducibility.
