Heterocyclic chemistry being an important branch of chemistry includes many ring structures with heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Quinazoline is an important nitrogen containing benzofused heterocycle and has several therapeutic actions such as antimalarial, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anticonvulsant. Quinazoline was first isolated from alkaloid vasicine. Vasicine, deoxyvasicine, tryptanthrin, and rutecarpine are some of the potent naturally occurring quinazolines. Substitutions on different positions of quinazoline ring lead to different activities. Detailed survey of activities of quinazoline such as anticancer, anticonvulsant, antifungal, antibacterial, and antidiabetic according to structure–activity relationship and marketed preparations containing quinazoline as an active moiety is described in this review.

Catalpol, a famous molecule of iridoids, possesses extensive pharmacological activities. Our studies found that compounds with low-polarity substituents at the 6-O position of catalpol exhibited higher NF-κB inhibitory potency than catalpol. However, catalpol derivatives are not much focused. Here this review provides extensive coverage of naturally occurring catalpol derivatives discovered from 1888 until 2018. It covers their distribution, chemotaxonomic significance, chemical structures, and bioactivities from more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, and highlights the structure-activity relationship of catalpol derivatives.

Abstract To explore new antifungal agents for rice blast control, the antifungal activity of a series of novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives against Magnaporthe oryzae has been evaluated. The antifungal activity was determined by using in vitro mycelial growth inhibition tests. Among the 19 test compounds, we found that the compound 1-(4-phenoxymethyl-2-phenyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,4- triazole (Gj) displayed potent antifungal activity against M. oryzae. The IC50 value was found approximately 3.8±0.5 μM and the IC50 value of propiconazole was found to be approximately 3.7±0.2 μM, respectively. Structure-activity relationship studies on aromatic ring structures provided insight and information about the structural requirements for antifungal activity of this synthetic series against M. oryzae.

: The present review describes 108 new examples of naturally occurring flavans and flavanones having cytotoxic potential reported during the period of 2005 to Mid-2020. These compounds are found either as aglycones or as glycosides, comprising flavans, flavanones, isoflavanones and miscellaneous flavanones (homo- and bi-flavanones). The main topics addressed are source, structure, cytotoxic activity in details and structure-activity relationship. The review cites 114 references.
