Diosgenyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside is a synthetic saponin exhibiting attractive pharmacological properties. Different pathways tested by us to obtain this glycoside are summarized here. Moreover, the synthesis of N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl derivatives of the glucopyranoside is presented. Evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activities of these derivatives indicates that they have no inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria, whereas many of the tested N-alkyl saponins were found to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and human pathogenic fungi.

In this paper, the synthesis of fourteen alkylamino and arylamino derivatives of sesquiterpene quinone avarone and its model compound tert-butylquinone is described. Branched, cyclic, allylic and benzylic alkylamino/arylamino groups were introduced into the quinone moiety. For all the obtained derivatives, their biological activity and redox properties were studied. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesized derivatives towards multidrug resistant (MDR) human non-small cell lung carcinoma NCI-H460/R cells, their sensitive counterpart NCI-H460 and human normal keratinocytes (HaCaT) was investigated. The antimicrobial activity towards Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and fungal cultures was determined. Some of the synthesized derivatives showed selectivity for cancer cells, including MDR cells. Regarding their cell death induction potential, the most promising compounds were allylamino derivatives, preferentially triggering apoptosis, with high selectivity for cancer cells, including MDR cells. Several compounds showed promising antimicrobial activity, comparable to those of commercial antibiotic and antimycotic agents.

Objective: Derivatives of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one attract considerable attention from pharmacists for the treatment of a wide rangeof diseases. According to this interest, the novel derivatives of 3-cyclopropanmethyl-7-alkoxyalkyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one withisopropoxypropyl and ethoxypropyl substituents in the position 7 had been synthesized to study their biological activity and toxicity. The practicalsignificance of the work is in the accumulation and development of scientific representations about diazabicyclic compounds, methods for theirsynthesis, structure, and properties, which can subsequently be used in a targeted design and identification of even more complex systems, as wellas in the development of further research in the field of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes. For this purpose, complexes of the synthesized compoundswith β-cyclodextrin are obtained and their biological activity is investigated at the Department of Pharmacology of S.D. Asfendiyarov Kazakh NationalMedical University with the aid of the pharmacological tests.Methods: An experimental study of local anesthetic activity on the models of infiltration, conduction anesthesia, and acute toxicity of synthesizedmolecules was carried out using primary screening methods.Results: As a result of pharmacological screening, it has been found that the compounds exhibit local anesthetic activity and low toxicity and wasrecommended for in-depth study of their pharmacological properties.Conclusion: It turned out that a nature of the N-alkoxyalkyl radical does not affect the toxicity of cyclopropanmethyl- substituted bispidines. In theseries of O-benzoyloximes of bispidinones, the isopropoxypropyl- substituted analog is 1.3 times less toxic than ethoxypropyl- one.

Today 3,7,10-trioxo-2,4,6,8,9,11-hexaaaza[3.3.3]propellane (THAP) has not yet received widespread re-search attention due to the complexity of the synthesis. This work is devoted to the development of a method for the THAP derivatives synthesis, as well as to the study of their biological activity in comparison with al-kyl-substituted glycolurils (subject of comparison). ТНАРwas N-alkylated to furnish novel hexaalkyl deriva-tives of ТНАРwith methyl, ethyl and propyl substituents. The conditionsfor obtaining the maximum yield of the target productwere optimizedon the base of methyl derivative. The reaction proceeded in DMSO/КОНat 75–80ºC for 13hours in a moderate yield of 56%. The ethyl and propyl derivatives of ТНАРwere synthe-sized under the same conditions. The biological activity of the obtained ТНАРalkyl derivatives and glycoluril alkyl derivatives was evaluated against Sporosarcina ureae, Bacillus pumilus, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and influenza A virus. All the samples were found to exhib-it antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.It was shown that 2,4,6,8,9,11-hexapropyl-ТНАР, di-tert-butyl-diphenyl-, di-tert-butyl-dibenzyl-, di-tert-butyl-dimethyl-and di-isopropyl-dibenzylglycoluril, have exhibited also toxicity to living cells besides antiviral activity

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic extracted from the bacterium Streptomyces peucetius. Its cytotoxic effect produced by intercalating with DNA causing breakdown of DNA strand which causes cancer cell apoptosis. Despite being an effective anticancer agent it causes several crucial side effects like carditoxicity, neuropathy, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, alopecia, typhlitis, myelosuppression, neutropenia, anaemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, and diarrhoea were caused mainly due to the inability to distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells. This chapter mainly focuses on doxorubicin’s side effects, current understanding of the molecular mechanisms, and management and preventive strategies of doxorubicin’s cardiotoxicity during the treatment of various type of cancer.

Derivatives of 4-methyl-1,6-diphenylpyrimidine-2(1H)-selenone show very strong antimicrobial activity. In order to extend the current knowledge about the features responsible for the biological activity, crystal structure analyses are presented for 4-methyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)-6-phenylpyrimidine-2(1H)-selenone (1), 4-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)-6-phenylpyrimidine-2(1H)-selenone (2), 4-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-6-phenylpyrimidine-2(1H)-selenone (3) (all C18H16N2Se) and 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-6-phenylpyrimidine-2(1H)-selenone (4) (C17H13ClN2Se). Furthermore, the antibacterial and antifungal activities of these compounds were evaluated. All the presented derivatives crystallize in the space group P21/c with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecular geometries differ slightly in the mutual orientation of the rings. The packing of molecules in the crystals is dominated by C—H...N and C—H...Se intermolecular interactions. Additionally, in the crystal structure of 4, C—H...Cl intermolecular interactions are observed. The introduction of a methyl or chlorine substituent improves the biological activity, while its position significantly affects biological activity only in case of the chlorine substituent.

Calcium alginate (CaALG) hydrogel beads and two sets of composite beads, formed from a combination of calcium alginate/propylene glycol alginate/human serum albumin (CaALG/PGA/HSA) and from calcium alginate with the quaternary ammonium salt, (3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-octadecyldimethylammonium chloride (QA), (CaALG/QA), were prepared. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was condensed with glutaraldehyde (GLA) to form a BSA/GLA hydrogel. The corresponding Ag+-containing gels of all of the above hydrogels were also formed, and slow leaching of the biocidal transition metal ion from the gels bestowed broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. In the absence of added Ag+, CaALG/QA was the only material to deliver marginal to moderate antibacterial and antifungal effects. The Ag+ impregnated hydrogel systems have the potential to maintain the antimicrobial properties of silver, minimising the risk of toxicity, and act as reservoirs to afford ongoing sterility.
