Quinoxaline is a fused heterocycle ring template present in diverse pharmacophore and widely used medicinal chemistry. Owing to its vast pharmaceutical profile, several quinoxalines analogous displayed their distinct pharmacological activities. In the last couple of years, researchers have established via green protocol, multi-component cascades, one-pot synthesis, combinatorial pin-point approach using effective catalysts reagents. It being further researched develop novel entities for...
There is a continuous and pressing need to establish new brain-penetrant bioactive compounds with anti-cancer properties. To this end, series of 4'-((4-substituted-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carbonitrile (OTBN-1,2,3-triazole) derivatives were synthesized by click chemistry. The designed from diverse alkynes N
Twenty-three new derivatives of ( R / S )-TDHPM-5-carboxanilide have been synthesized with up to 99% yield. All racemates were separated using chiral HPLC (Prep LC) which provided 99.99% purity. AC was determined circular dichroism spectra.
In this communication, we present the synthesis of new platinum complexes based on hydroxyquinoline ligands. We demonstrate importance and role halogen substitution as well chelation, which are essential structural characteristics for finding good cytotoxicities.
The potential of structurally new ferrocene-functionalized guanidines as redox-active precursors for the synthesis heterometallic platinum(II)–guanidine complexes with anticancer activity was studied. To this end, an atom-economical catalytic approach followed by using ZnEt2 to catalyze addition aminoferrocene and 4-ferrocenylaniline N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide. Furthermore, reaction a platinum(II) source newly obtained Fc–N═C(NHiPr)2 (3) Fc(1,4-C6H4)–N═C(NHiPr)2 (4) provided access...
Starting from natural steroids (diosgenin, hecogenin, smilagenin, estrone), we have prepared a wide panel of selenoderivatives, including benzoselenazolones, selenosemicarbazones, isoselenocyanates, selenoureas, selenocyanates and diselenides, with the aim developing new families potential chemotherapeutic agents. The modification organoselenium moieties, their position on steroid provided valuable information concerning antiproliferative activities. Among all accessed herein, best profile...
Substrate selectivity in the novel multi-component reaction of 5-aminoindazole, barbituric acid derivatives and aldehyde is explored.
In this study, we demonstrate a simple, highly efficient, rapid and convenient series of 2,4-dimethoxy-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-6(7H)-ones 4a-v. Microwave irradiation facilitates the one-pot multicomponent reaction different aromatic aldehydes, 6-amino-2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine dimedone using glacial acetic acid. Metal-free synthesis, shorter time, higher product yield, easy purification without column chromatography outstanding green credential parameters are key features protocol....
Isatin derivatives have attracted a lot of interest for their potential in the development new anticancer drugs. A library 38 isatin derivatives, created through an Ugi four-component reaction, underwent initial screening panel six human solid tumor cell lines. The four most active were then selected further testing. These compounds showed selectivity towards non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) line SW1573, whilst NSCLC A549 cells barely affected. combination phenotypic assays, including wound...
Considering early-stage drug discovery programs, the Ugi four-component reaction is a valuable, flexible, and pivotal tool, facilitating creation of two new amide bonds in one-pot fashion to effectively yield desired α-aminoacylamides. Here, we highlight reputation this approach access number scaffold diversity library isatin-based α-acetamide carboxamide oxindole hybrids, promising anticancer agents, mild fast sustainable process. The was tested against six human solid tumor cell lines,...
Abstract A series of functionalized tetrahydropyran and dihydropyran derivatives was synthesized by means a Prins‐type cyclization between unsaturated alcohols several aldehydes.
