Abstract Cyclic and polycyclic compounds containing moieties such as imidazole, pyrazole, isoxazole, thiazoline, oxazine, indole, benzothiazole and benzoxazole benzimidazole are prized molecules because of the various pharmaceutical properties that they display. This led Prof. Landor and co-workers to engage in the synthesis of several of them such as alkylimidazolenes, oxazolines, thiazolines, pyrimidopyrimidines, pyridylpyrazoles, benzoxazines, quinolines, pyrimidobenzimidazoles and pyrimidobenzothiazolones. This review covers the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds by the Michael addition and the double Michael addition of various amines and diamines on allenic nitriles, acetylenic nitriles, hydroxyacetylenic nitriles, acetylenic acids and acetylenic aldehydes. The heterocycles were obtained in one step reaction and in most cases, did not give side products. A brief discussion on the biological activities of some heterocycles is also provided.

Benzoxazole derivatives are one of the compounds with many interesting biological activities. Conventional methods are often performed under complex conditions using strong acids, expensive metal catalysts, requiring high pressure, high temperature, and under microwave irradiation. In this study, we reported a new method of benzoxazole synthesis with redox catalyst using FeCl3.6H2O and sulfur. This is a suitable, efficient, readily available and environmentally friendly catalyst system for redox and condensation reactions in one step at 100 oC. Applying this new method, we have synthesized eight 2-arylbenzoxazole derivatives with high yields (calculated according to 2-nitrophenol). This research is an important step forward in the synthesis of biologically active compounds containing the benzoxazole framework from readily available starting materials in a single reaction.

4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an essential nutrient for many human pathogens, but dispensable for humans, and its derivatives have exhibited various biological activities. In this study, we combined two pharmacophores using a molecular hybridization approach: this vitamin-like molecule and various aromatic aldehydes, including salicylaldehydes and 5-nitrofurfural, via imine bond in one-step reaction. Resulting Schiff bases were screened as potential antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents. The simple chemical modification of non-toxic PABA resulted in constitution of antibacterial activity including inhibition of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (minimum inhibitory concentrations, MIC, from 15.62 µM), moderate antimycobacterial activity (MIC ≥ 62.5 µM) and potent broad-spectrum antifungal properties (MIC of ≥ 7.81 µM). Some of the Schiff bases also exhibited notable cytotoxicity for cancer HepG2 cell line (IC50 ≥ 15.0 µM). Regarding aldehyde used for the derivatization of PABA, it is possible to tune up the particular activities and obtain derivatives with promising bioactivities.
