AbstractThe antiprotozoal activity of 1-benzyltetrahydropyridin-4-yliden iminium salts is reported. This paper describes the preparation of a series of analogs from dihydropyridines or dihydrothiopyrans as educts. The new compounds were investigated for their activity against Plasmodium falciparum NF54, a causative organism of Malaria tropica and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the causative organism of Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). Several structure–activity relationships were detected. Both the substituents in ring positions 1 and 4 of the tetrahydropyridinium moiety had a strong impact on the antiprotozoal activities as well as on the cytotoxicity of compounds against L-6 cells (rat skeletal myoblasts). All new compounds were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, HRMS, and NMR spectroscopy. Graphic abstract

Abstract Novel 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives were prepared from acyclic starting materials, benzylidene acetones and ammonium thiocyanates, via 5 steps, including ring closure, aromatization, S-methylation, oxidation to methylsulfonyl compounds, and formation of guanidines with suitable amines. The prepared compounds differ from each other by the substitutions of their amino group and of their phenyl ring. The 2-aminopyrimidines were tested by use of microplate assays for their in vitro activities against a causative organism of sleeping sickness, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, as well as against a causative organism of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum NF54. Their cytotoxic properties were determined with L-6 cells (rat skeletal myoblasts). Some of the compounds exhibited quite good antitrypanosomal activity, and others showed excellent antiplasmodial activity. The influence of the structural modifications on these activities is discussed. Graphic abstract

Abstract Chalcones and their derivatives are becoming increasingly popular due to their various pharmacological effects. Chalcone molecules may be extracted from natural resources, entirely synthesised, or biosynthesised by modifying the natural ones. In the present study, five pyrazole-based adamantyl heterocyclic compounds were synthesised by condensation of 1-adamantyl chalcone with substituted phenylhydrazine. The products were characterised by using ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The microbiological activity of these compounds was investigated against bacteria and fungi. The new compounds showed good to moderate activity against the microbial species used for screening. All developed molecules showed antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive. These molecules showed antifungal activities against Fusarium oxysporum fungus and in a dose-dependent manner, apart from RS-1 molecules which showed compromised antifungal activity and even at a high dose.

AbstractThe reaction of 2,3-dihydropyridines with sulfonyl halides surprisingly yielded open chain dienes with sulfonylimine structure. The products were specific out of several possible isomers and, therefore, a separation of isomers was not necessary. All new compounds were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, HRMS, and NMR spectroscopy. A bicyclic by-product from the reaction of a 2,3-dihydropyridine with mesyl chloride was isolated and its structure elucidated using a single X-ray crystal analysis. Some biological activities, like antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties were investigated. Graphic abstract

In this study, four new N-(alkyl/aryl)imidazolium-borates were prepared, and their deprotonation reactions were investigated. Addition of BH3•THF to N-benzylimidazoles and N-mesitylimidazoles leads to imidazolium-trihydridoborate adducts. Ammonium tetraphenylborate reacts with benzyl- or mesityl-imidazoles with the loss of one of the phenyl groups yielding the corresponding imidazolium-triphenylborates. Their authenticity was confirmed by CHN analysis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 11B-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). 3-Benzyl-imidazolium-1-yl)trihydridoborate, (HImBn)BH3, and (3-mesityl-imidazolium-1-yl)trihydridoborate, (HImMes)BH3, were also characterized by X-ray crystallography. The reactivity of these new compounds as carbene precursors in an effort to obtain borate-NHC complexes was investigated and a new carbene-borate adduct (which dimerizes) was obtained via a microwave-assisted procedure.

Synthesis of compound (E)-4-(3-oxo-3-(phenethylamino)prop-1-en-1-il)-1,2-phenylene diacetate (3) analogue (E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-N-phenethylacrylamide as a recommendation from the QSAR analysis was carried out. The synthesis of these compounds uses the starting material of caffeic acid through the stages of the reaction of acetylation, chlorination, and amidation. Acetylation was carried out using acetic anhydride in pyridine at room temperature for 4 hours. Chlorination was carried out using thionyl chloride reagent in dimethylphromamide solvent under reflux conditions at 80ºC for 4 hours, followed by amidation using phenethylamine in dichloromethane solvent at room temperature for 1 hour. The structure of each phase of the reaction product is identified using FT-IR spectroscopy. Acetylation produces white crystalline solids with melting point 182-184oC, and amidation produces compound 3 in the form of white crystals with melting point 170-173oC. The results of activity tests on murine leukaemia P-388  cells showed that the activity of compound 3 was classified as very strong (IC50 = 0,5 µg /mL) so that it was potentially used as an anticancer drug.

Two biological activities of butyrate in the colon (suppression of proliferation of colonic epithelial stem cells and inflammation) correlate with inhibition of histone deacetylases. Cellular and biochemical studies of molecules similar in structure to butyrate, but different in molecular details (functional groups, chain-length, deuteration, oxidation level, fluorination, or degree of unsaturation) demonstrated that these activities were sensitive to molecular structure, and were compatible with the hypothesis that butyrate acts by binding to the Zn<sup>2+</sup> in the catalytic site of histone deacetylases. Structure-activity relationships drawn from a set of 36 compounds offer a starting point for the design of new compounds targeting the inhibition of histone deacetylases. The observation that butyrate was more potent than other short-chain fatty acids is compatible with the hypothesis that crypts evolved (at least in part), to separate stem cells at the base of crypts from butyrate produced by commensal bacteria.

A 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO) acrylate, (6-oxidodibenzo [c,e][1,2] oxaphosphinin-6-yl) methyl acrylate (DOPOAA), has been prepared. Copolymers of styrene (St) and DOPOAA were prepared by emulsion polymerization. The chemical structures of copolymers containing levels of DOPOAA were verified using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The thermal properties and flame-retardant behaviors of DOPO-containing monomers and copolymers were observed using thermogravimetric analysis and micro calorimetry tests. From thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was found out that the T5% for decomposition of the copolymer was lower than that of polystyrene (PS), but the residue at 700 °C was higher than that of PS. The results from micro calorimetry (MCC) tests indicated that the rate for the heat release of the copolymer combustion was lower than that for PS. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) for combustion of the copolymer rose with increasing levels of DOPOAA. These data indicate that copolymerization of the phosphorus-containing flame-retardant monomer, DOPOAA, into a PS segment can effectively improve the thermal stability and flame retardancy of the copolymer.

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays an important role in pathological fibrosis and cancer transformation. Therefore, the inhibition of the TGF-β signaling pathway has therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancer. In this study, the binding modes between 47 molecules with a pyrrolotriazine-like backbone structure and transforming growth factor-beta type 1 receptor (TβR1) were simulated by molecular docking using Discovery Studio software, and their structure–activity relationships were analyzed. On the basis of the analysis of the binding modes of ligands in the active site and the structure–activity relationships, 29,254 new compounds were designed for virtual screening. According to the aforementioned analyses and Lipinski’s rule of five, five new compounds (CQMU1901–1905) with potential activity were screened through molecular docking. Among them, CQMU1905 is an attractive molecule composed of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), and 5-azacytosine. Interestingly, 5-FU, 6-MP, and 5-azacytidine are often used as anti-metabolic agents in cancer treatment. Compared with existing compounds, CQMU1901–1905 can interact with target proteins more effectively and have good potential for modification, making them worthy of further study.
