The chemical study of Laennecia schiedeana afforded three sterols, five diterpenes, five flavonoids, three caffeoyl derivatives of quinic acid, and two triterpenes. Evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of the extracts and isolated metabolites showed that 15-methoxy-16-oxo- 15,16H-strictic acid was the most active compound [(15.05 ± 2.2) μg/mL against U-251 cells]. In antibacterial assays the acetonic extract of leaves was the only active extract exhibiting its highest effect against the multiresistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC 0.25 mg/mL). The anti-inflammatory activity observed was mild in the extracts and not relevant in the isolated compounds

The article presents a modified method for the synthesis of 2-substituted 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one and the predict of their anti-inflammatory activity. The proposed method for obtaining tetrahydrothienopyrimidine derivatives is preparatively effective and simple. Their synthesis was carried out by heterocyclization of azomethine derivatives of 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxamide in the medium of glacial acetic acid with the catalytic addition of dimethyl sulfoxide. Preliminary prognosis of anti-inflammatory activity in silico method allowed us to identify the most promising compounds. Of these, the 4b structure containing a 2-hydroxyphenyl fragment in the second position of pyrimidine-4(3H)-one may be of the greatest interest. It seems appropriate to further study the spectrum of biological activity of the studied compounds.

One new flavonol diglycoside, 4′,5-dihydroxy-3,3′,7-trimethoxyflavone 4′- O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), and two known compounds (2–3) were isolated from the methanol extract of Anoectochilus annamensis Aver. aerial parts. The effects were evaluated of all isolated compounds (1–3) on LPS-induced production of the inflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO) by RAW264.7 cells. 4′,5-Dihydroxy-3,3′,7-trimethoxyflavone (2) was the most active while the addition of a rutinoside at C-4′ (compound 1) decreased the inhibitory activity. This is the first report on the chemical composition and biological activity of A annamensis.

The purpose of this study is the chemical investigation of the composition of Tragopogon orientalis volatile constituents (VC) and studying of its biological activity. This article presents the results of research on the study of the chemical composition of species Tragopogon, as well as data of antiradical and cytotoxic activity. To study the dried and crushed aboveground part of the plant (leaves, flowers and stems) was taken. The raw material was collected in the flowering phase, growing in Northern Kazakstan. The VC was isolated from the plant of Tragopogon orientalis by hydrodistillation method on the Clevenger type  apparatus. The chemical composition of the VC was determined by GC/MS. The cytotoxic activity of the VC was determined by the survival rate of sea shrimp Artemia salina. VC of T. orientalis in all studied concentrations (1–10 mg ml-1) exhibit acute lethal toxicity - all larvae die. Antiradical activity was determined by the method of colorimetry of free radicals (DPPH). The experimental results showed that the VC of T. orientalis at all tested concentrations (0.1–1.0 mg ml-1) exhibit low antiradical activity compared with the butylhydroxyanisole standard drug.

Coriandrum sativum L. belongs to the Apiaceae family, which is cultivated in Dong Nai province, in this paper its seed oil of was studied. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation. We used two methods for activating of hydrodistillation: conventional heating and microwave irradiating. Its physical and chemical indexes were measured. The chemical composition of this oil was identified by GC/MS and quantified by GC/FID. Linalool (75.51-77.21 %), and geranyl acetate (15.64-12.79 %) were the main constituents of the oil which were obtained in 0,32-0.39 % yield. The biological activity of this oil was reported.

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.
