Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-2-bromo-cyclohepta[<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]indol-6(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₂BrNO, was synthesized and characterised by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The proposed structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The single crystal data revealed that the compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, sp. gr. P1, with Z = 2. The sevenmembered ring exhibits a slightly distorted envelope conformation. N–H···O hydrogen bonds form a centrosymmetric dimer, these interactions create a stair-like chain of molecules that interacts only loosely with neighbouring chains via van der Waals interactions, and C–H···π contacts are found in the crystal structure.     

Bismuth Oxyiodide Nanoflakes Showed Toxicity Against the Malaria Vector <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anopheles stephensi</Emphasis> and In Vivo Antiplasmodial Activity

Anopheles stephensi is a mosquito vector of malaria, which is still considered a relevant public health problem due to increasing outdoor transmission, growing resistance to insecticides used to target vectors, and antiplasmodial drugs as well. Thus, there is a vital need to explore novel sources of effective compounds. In this study, the hydrothermal method was used for the synthesis of bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanoflakes. Furthermore, the toxicity of BiOI nanoflakes was evaluated for the first time on A. stephensi, as well as in vivo against the malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. The synthesis of BiOI nanoflakes was confirmed by various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). LC₅₀ of BiOI nanoflakes on A. stephensi were 2.263 ppm (larva I), 3.414 ppm (II), 4.956 ppm (III), 6.983 ppm (IV) and 8.605 ppm (pupae). In vivo antiplasmodial experiments conducted on P. berghei infecting albino mice showed 27.2% of chemosuppression after 4 days of treatment with 300 mg/kg/day of BiOI, a lower performance if compared to chloroquine. Overall, our results suggested that hydrothermal synthesis of BiOI nanoflakes may be considered to develop newer and safer tools for malaria vector control.

Synthesis,molecular docking,antibacterial, antioxidant,and cytotoxicity activities of novel pyrido-cyclopenta[b]indole analogs

Abstract

A series of new pyrido-cyclopenta[1,2-b]indole derivatives were synthesized via Knoevenagel reaction and followed by reflux with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. Their structures were investigated by spectral techniques and elemental analysis. In vitro antibacterial assessment against seven selected microorganisms evidenced that the compounds with halogen substituent have strong inhibitory action than that of the reference drugs. The antioxidant results were apparent that the compounds 5b, 5c, and 6c manifested explicit activity when compared with Butylhydroxyanisole and Vitamin-C. Cytotoxic activity analysis toward HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines was also assessed. Analogs 6c (IC₅₀ values 15.1?μM and 18.6?μM) and 6d (IC₅₀ values 17.4?μM and 20.7?μM) illustrated the interesting cytotoxicity activity. Molecular docking studies against p38 MAP kinase displayed a potential binding affinity with the receptor. Furthermore, in silico pharmacokinetic studies articulated the drug-likeness nature of the target compounds.
