The starting-point of the following experiments was an accidental obser­vation. Whilst investigating the chlorine-, bromine-, and nitro-derivatives of aniline, I had prepared a large quantity of phenylacetamide by the action of chloride of acetyl on aniline. From the hydrochlorate of aniline, abun­dantly produced as a by-product in this reaction, the aniline was recovered by treating the mother-liquors with hydrate of sodium. During the distil­lation, after the greater part of the aniline had passed over and collected in the receiver, a tenacious oily fluid began to come over, adhering to the tube of the condenser and gradually becoming a crystalline mass. It was easily purified by washing with cold, and crystallization from hot alcohol. Beautiful white leafy crystals were thus obtained, fusible at 137°, and volatile without decomposition at a temperature beyond the range of the mercury-thermometer. These crystals are almost insoluble in water, diffi­cultly soluble in cold, but soluble in hot alcohol, and also soluble in ether. The solutions are neutral.

Background: Nitro-derivatives of heterocyclic compounds were used as active agents against pathogenic microorganisms. A set of 4- and 5-nitroimidazole derivatives exhibiting antimicrobial activity was analyzed with the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) method. The study included compounds used both in documented treatment and those described as experimental. Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the common and differentiating characteristics of the above-mentioned chemical compounds alike physicochemically as well as pharmacologically based on the quantum chemical calculations and microbiological activity data. Methods: During the study PCA and MLR analysis were performed, as the types of proposed chemometric approach. The semi-empirical and ab initio level of in silico molecular modeling was performed for calculations of molecular descriptors. Results: QSAR models were proposed based on chosen descriptors. The relationship between the nitro-derivatives structure and microbiological activity data was able to class and describe the antimicrobial activity with the use of statistically significant molecular descriptors. Conclusion: The applied chemometric approaches revealed the influential features of the tested structures responsible for the antimicrobial activity of studied nitro-derivatives.

para Substituted chloro, bromo, and nitro derivatives of 2-acyl-5-phenylfurane are reduced polarographically in a one-electron wave to the corresponding anion radicals, which were studied by the EPR method. The reduction of nitro derivatives, studied by the Kalousek switch, is reversible and leads to a stable anion radical with an unpaired electron center on the nitrogen nucleus; the reduction of the halogen derivatives is only partly reversible and leads to unstable ketyl radicals. The bromo derivatives give polarographic maxima typical for concurrent reactions.

5,7-Dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-l,4-naphthoquinone (5) and related compounds have been synthesized. The quinone affords an accessible substrate for studying an unusual reaction with nucleophiles, which involves attack at the 8-position, i.e. at the benzenoid ring. An unsuccessful approach to (5) has led to tri- and tetra-nitro derivatives of 2,3-dimethylnaphthalene. Reduction of the former and subsequent conversions have given aminonaphthoquinone and perimidinone derivatives.

A new series of 2-aminopyridine derivatives were synthesised. N-acylation of 2-amino-3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl) pyridine and 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl) pyridine with series of acid chlorides afforded a total of fourteen (14) amide compounds. The structures of the new compounds have been established by their IR, NMR and mass spectra data. All the compounds were tested for their activity against four (4) multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria Staphylococcus aureus strains using microplate alamar blue assay. The MDR-Staphylococcus aureus strains employed for this study were Epidermic Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (EMRSA-17), Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA-252), Epidermic Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (EMRSA-16) and Pakistani Drug resistant clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus (PRSA). Other bacteria strains also used include Escherichia coli (ATCC 2592), Shigella flexenari (ATCC 12022), Staphylococcus aureus (NCTC 6571) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCTC 10662). The synthesised compounds exhibited very good activity against the four MDR-Staphylococcus aureus strains of which most of the compounds showed higher potencies for inhibiting the growth of the strains than vancomycin, the standard drug employed. The compounds reported here may serve as the starting point for the design and development of MDR-S.aureus inhibitors as antibacterial agents.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase is one of the most attractive targets for the development of anti-HIV-1 inhibitors. The capacity of a series of 2,1,3-benzoxadiazoles (benzofurazans) and their N-oxides (benzofuroxans) selected using the PASS software to inhibit the catalytic activity of HIV-1 integrase was studied in the present work. Only the nitro-derivatives of these compounds were found to display inhibitory activity. The study of the mechanism of inhibition by nitro-benzofurazans/benzofuroxans showed that they impede the substrate DNA binding at the integrase active site. These inhibitors were also active against integrase mutants resistant to raltegravir, which is the first HIV-1 integrase inhibitor approved for clinical use. The comparison of computer-aided estimations of the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of the compounds studied and raltegravir led us to conclude that these compounds show promise and need to be further studied as potential HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.
