New pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivatives 8a-f were synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between mesoionic 1,3-oxazolo[3,2-b]pyridazinium-2-oxides and diethyl or diisopropyl acetylenedicarboxylate as alkyne dipolarophiles. The structures of the new compounds were assigned by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract:: Enzyme prodrug therapy has gained momentum in the recent years due to their ability to improve therapeutic index (benefits versus toxic side-effects) and efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Inactive prodrugs used in this system are converted into active anti-cancerous drugs by enzymes, specifically within the tumor cells. This therapy involves three components namely prodrug, enzyme and gene delivery vector. Past reports have clearly indicated that the choice of enzyme used, is the major determinant for the success of this therapy. Generally, enzymes from non-human sources are employed to avoid off-target toxicity. Exogenous enzymes also give a better control to the clinician regarding the calibration of treatment by site-specific initiation. Amongst these exo-enzymes, microbial enzymes are preferred due to their high productivity, stability and ease of manipulation. The present review focuses on the commonly used microbial enzymes particularly cytosine deaminase, nitroreductase, carboxypeptidase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase in prodrug activation therapy. Various aspects viz. source of the enzymes, types of cancer targeted, mode of action and efficacy of the enzyme/prodrug system, efficient vectors used and recent research developments of each of these enzymes are comprehensively elaborated. Further, the results of the clinical trials and various strategies to improve their clinical applicability are also discussed.

Background:A novel copper-catalyzed synthesis of substituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been developed and performed by Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azides with alkynes. The reaction is one-pot multicomponent.Objective:We state the advancement and execution of a methodology allowing for the synthesis of some new substituted 1,2,3-triazole analogues with antimicrobial activity.Methods:A series of triazole derivatives was synthesized by Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azides with alkynes. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against a series of strains of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and against the strains of Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus nigar for antifungal activity, respectively.Results and Conclusion:From the antimicrobial data, it was observed that all the newly synthesized compounds showed good to moderate level of antibacterial and antifungal activity.
