An efficient synthesis of carbamate analogues of the NRTI compound stavudine, has been achieved in five steps starting from commercially available thymidine. The synthesis involves conversion of thymidine into stavudine followed by condensation with carbaimidazole derivative obtained from various aromatic and heterocyclic amines in dimethylformamide solvent. The analogues thus obtained were further purified by crystallization to furnish analytically pure products. Examination of biological activity of these carbamate derivatives of stavudine showed that they inhibited HIV replication only at micro-molar concentrations.

Novel phosphoramidate derivatives of the anti-HIV nucleoside analogue AZT have been prepared by phosphorochloridate chemistry. These materials carry carboxy-protected, amino acids, and are designed to act as membrane-soluble prodrugs of the bio-active free nucleotides. In vitro evaluation revealed the compounds to have a pronounced, selective antiviral activity. In particular, variation in the carboxy terminus region is studied. For alkyl phosphates small changes in the structure of the amino ester lead to marked changes in biological activity. However, for analogous aryl phosphates there is little dependence on the structure of the ester. This suggests a different mechanism of action for these two categories of phosphate prodrug.

Novel haloalkyl phosphate derivatives of the anti-HIV nucleoside analogue AZT were prepared by phosphorochloridate chemistry. These materials were designed to act as labile membrane-soluble prodrugs of the bio-active free nucleotides. In vitro evaluation revealed the compounds to have a pronounced and selective antiviral action, which varied greatly with the structure of the phosphate moiety. By comparison to simple dialkyl phosphates, which are inactive against HIV-1, the introduction of halogen atoms into the alkyl (phosphate) chains led to anti-HIV activity. Although halogen substitution in just one alkyl chain was sufficient for biological activity, substitution in the second alkyl chain further enhanced activity. Conversely, stabilization of the second chain, by conversion to a phosphonate, led to a reduction in activity. In one case, the diastereo-isomers resulting from mixed stereochemistry at the phosphate centre were separated, and found to differ in activity by one order of magnitude. Lastly, the bis(mono- and di-chloroethyl) phosphates were prepared and found to display moderate anti-HIV activity.

Novel phosphoramidate derivatives of the anti-HIV nucleoside analogues AZT and d4T have been prepared by phosphorochloridate chemistry. These materials are designed to act as labile membrane-soluble prodrugs of the bio-active free nucleotides. All compounds were fully characterised by a range of methods and were subjected to evaluation in vitro of their anti-HIV efficacy. A notable feature of the current study was that any attempt to replace the amino acid moiety of the phosphoramidate with a simple amine lead to a marked, virtually total loss of activity. Such simple phenyl alkylamino phosphate derivatives of either d4T or AZT inhibit HIV replication at cytotoxic concentrations and have no detectable antiviral selectivity. This clearly highlights the vital role played by the amino acid in the antiviral efficacy of the blocked phosphoramidates.

3,4-Dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines derivatives are a significant class of heterocycles with a particular awareness due to their remarkable biological activities in humans, plant as well as in animals and also, they are naturally occurrence. Because of alteration in the benzoxazines skeleton, beside their comparative chemical simplicity and accessibility, make these compounds to be suitable sources of other bioactive compounds. Resulting in the discovery of a wide set of these compounds that have a broad biological activity such as antifungal, antibacterial, anti-HIV, anticancer, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory and so on. Subsequently, this review herein gives a brief overview of derivatives of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines monomers and their oxo-derivatives chemistry and bioactivities.

We present a short and efficient synthesis of the title compounds starting with cheap and readily available camphor and derivatives of acetophenone. The optimized sequence allows the large-scale preparation of this new type of synthesis in a few steps. New 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-diazaphosphole derivatives 11-20, were prepared from the ketones 1-5 via the corresponding semicarbazones 6-10. The Hurd-Mori and Lalezari methods were used, respectively, for the preparation of these 1,2,3-thiadiazole and 1,2,3-diazaphospholene derivatives. These derivatives exhibit anticancer effect due to their high potential biological activity.

Heterocyclic compounds are well known for their different biological activity. The heterocyclic analogs are the building blocks for synthesis of the pharmaceutical active compounds in the organic chemistry. These derivatives show various type of biological activity like anticancer, antiinflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-convulsant, anti-malarial, anti-hypertensive, etc. From the last decade research showed that the quinoline analogs plays a vital role in the development of newer medicinal active compounds for treating various type of disease. Quinoline reported for their antiviral, anticancer, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activity. This review will summarize the various synthetic approaches for synthesis of quinoline derivatives and to check their biological activity. Derivatives of quinoline moiety plays very important role in the development of various types of newer drugs and it can be used as lead compounds for future investigation in the field of drug discovery process.
