AbstractIn present investigation, an attempt was undertaken to modify the C-9 position of noscapine (Nos), an opium alkaloid to yield 9 -hydroxy methyl and 9 -carbaldehyde oxime analogues for augmenting anticancer potential. The synthesis of 9-hydroxy methyl analogue of Nos was carried out by Blanc reaction and 9-carbaldehyde oxime was engineered by oxime formation method and characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, and so on techniques. In silico docking techniques informed that 9-hydroxy methyl and 9-carbaldehyde oxime analogues of Nos had higher binding energy score as compared to Nos. The IC50 of Nos was estimated to be 46.8 µM signficantly (P < 0.05) higher than 8.2 µM of 9-carbaldehyde oxime and 4.6 µM of 9-hydroxy methyl analogue of Nos in U87, human glioblastoma cells. Moreover, there was significant (P < 0.05) difference between the IC50 of 9-carbaldehyde oxime and 9-hydroxy methyl analogue of Nos. Consistent to in vitro cytotoxicity data, 9-hydroxy methyl analogue of Nos induced significantly (P < 0.05) higher degree of apoptosis of 84.6% in U87 cells as compared to 78.5% and 64.3% demonstrated by 9-carbaldehyde oxime and Nos, respectively. Thus the higher therapeutic efficacy of 9-hydroxy methyl analogue of Nos may be credited to higher solubility and inhibitory constant (K).

The new phthalonitrile and its phthalocyanine derivatives have been elucidated by FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, [Formula: see text]C-NMR, mass and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that all synthesized compounds moderately inhibited carbonic anhydrase and paraoxonase enzymes. Among the compounds, the most active ones were found to be compound 4 for PON (Ki : 0.14 [Formula: see text]M), compound 3 for hCA I (Ki : 22.52 [Formula: see text]M) and compound 1 for hCA II (Ki : 13.62 [Formula: see text]M).

A series of ((4-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3- b][1,2,4,5] methyl) benzo-hydrazide derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibition activities against five tumor cells and c-Met kinase in vitro. These compounds were fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Antitumor experiments indicated that some compounds exhibited significant inhibition activities against A549 and Bewo. Especially, the IC50 values of 5f (12 μM), 5h (7.1 μM), 6a (8.4 μM), and 6d (9.2 μM) demonstrated better antitumor activities against A549 than the positive agent cisplatin (13.3 μM), and the IC50 value of 6a (5.2 μM) exhibited better antitumor activity against Bewo than cisplatin (7.7 μM).

<p>This study was aimed to evaluate anticancer potential of newer synthesize 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazines and its derivatives. All newly furnished scaffolds were subjected to screening for their in vitro anticancer potential against DU-145 and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines using SRB and MMT bioassays. The structures of final compounds were confirmed with the aid of FT-IR, <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy and CHN analysis. Bioassay studies suggested that all thiadiazines were promising cytotoxic agents with % cytotoxicity ranging from 44.39-71.24%, whereas potent GI<sub>50</sub> level in the range 11.96-32.51 µg/mL and results were comparable to the potencies of control drugs adriamycin and doxorubicin. Variation of heterocyclic pharmacophores along with the C-5 position of 1,2,4-triazole in terms of quinoline, quinazoline, coumarin and pyridine lead to the different SAR predictions in which quinoline and benzimidazole moieties found most promising.</p><p> </p>

Abstract A series of structural modification of curcumol derivatives at C-8 position were designed and synthesized, which structures were confirmed by 1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS analysis. The tested compounds were evaluated for in vitro antitumor activity against colorectal cancer cell lines SW620, HCT116 and CaCo2. Many of the tested candidates exhibited higher inhibition efficiency than curcumol. Among them, compound 3l shows the best inhibitory effect on the viability of SW620 with IC50 value of 19.90 mM. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these derivatives were discussed, which showed that the introduction of amino or aryl groups tended to increase the anti-cancer activity. In addition, compound 3l may inhibit cancer cell proliferation through triggering cell apoptosis.

AbstractA simple, straightforward, and ultrasound-promoted method for the preparation of some highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines reported via pseudo five-component reaction of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes, different anilines, and alkyl acetoacetates in the presence of [N-CH2CO2H-3-pic]+HSO4−, as a novel ionic liquid, in green aqueous medium. The IL was synthesized utilizing simple and easily-handled substrates and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, GC-MASS, FESEM, EDX, and TGA/DTG techniques. The procedure contains some highlighted aspects which are: (a) performing the MCR in the presence of aqua and sonic waves, as two main important and environmentally benign indexes in green and economic chemistry, (b) high yields of products within short reaction times, (c) convenient work-up procedure, (d) preparing the new IL via simple substrates and procedure.
