Several nicotinic and isoniazid derivatives, most of them containing nitro groups were synthesized by our group, evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 Rv using the Alamar Blue susceptibility test expressed as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) mg/mL.The compound 11d exhibited best result (1.2 µg/mL) when compared with first line drugs such (INH) rifampicin (RIP).Therefore this class compounds could be a good starting point to develop...
Abstract COF‐300, an imine‐linked, crystalline, and microporous covalent organic framework, modified by coordination of Pd(OAc) 2 to its walls, afforded a hybrid material, @COF‐300, which was used as efficient heterogeneous catalyst for cross‐coupling reactions. This material showed excellent catalytic activity the phosphine‐free Suzuki–Miyaura, Heck, Sonogashira reactions with low palladium loadings (0.1 mol % Pd). X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis after reaction that Pd II is...
The carboxylic acid residue in the title compound, C6H4BrNO2, is twisted out of plane other atoms, as indicated by (Br)C—C—C—Ocarbonyl torsion angle −20.1 (9)°. In crystal, supramolecular chains mediated O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are formed with base vector [201] and C—H⋯O interactions reinforce packing.
Abstract Sustainability in chemistry heavily relies on heterogeneous catalysis. Enzymes, the main catalyst for biochemical reactions nature, are an elegant choice to catalyze due their high activity and selectivity, although they usually suffer from lack of robustness. To overcome this drawback, enzyme‐decorated nanoporous catalysts were developed. Three different approaches Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL‐B) immobilization a covalent organic framework (PPF‐2) employed: physical adsorption...
Ten new mefloquine-oxazolidine derivatives, 4-[(1S,8aR)-3-(aryl)hexahydro[1,3]oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridin-1-yl]-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (1: aryl=substituted phenyl) and 4-[(1S,8aR)-3-(heteroaryl)hexahydro[1,3]oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridin-1-yl]-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline [2: heteroaryl=5-nitrothien-2-yl (2a); 5-nitrofuran-2-yl (2b) 4H-imidazol-2-yl) (2c)], have been synthesized evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Compounds 1f (aryl=3-ethoxyphenyl), 1g...
Two series of N’ (E)-heteroaromatic-isonicotinohydrazide derivatives (3a-f and 4a-b) 1-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-2-[(heteroaromatic)methylene]hydrazone (5a-f 6a-b) have been synthesized evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 Rv. Several compounds were noncytotoxic exhibited significant minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (3.12, 2.50, 1.25, or 0.60 μg/mL), which can be compared to that the first-line drugs ethambutol (3.12 μg/mL)...
Functionalized 3-trifluoromethyl-2-isoxazolines and 3-trifluoromethylisoxazoles were easily prepared from trifluoromethyl aldoxime 2 under mild conditions by using DIB as oxidant. Theoretical studies of the reactivity trifluoroacetonitrile oxide 4 toward olefins alkynes carried out. The ring-opened with NaBH NiCl to yield corresponding trifluoromethylated γ-amino alcohols.
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Leishmania species. Available therapeutic options have several limitations. The drive to develop new, more potent, and selective antileishmanial agents thus major goal. Herein we report the synthesis biological activity evaluation against promastigote amastigote forms of amazonensis nine 4,8-dimethoxynaphthalenyl chalcones. Compound ((E)-1-(4,8-dimethoxynaphthalen-1-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one), 4f, was most promising with an...
A 52-year-old man with a 1-year history of lower abdominal pain and constipation was referred to our unit for endoscopic resection large lipoma in the ascending colon, which had been detected by computed tomography (CT). Colonoscopy revealed 50-mm, subepithelial, broad-based, polypoid mass colon ([Fig. 1]). Using an electrocautery snare, we transected upper third unroof lesion 2]). Fat observed extruding from cut surface, consistent diagnostic hypothesis 3]). There were no procedure-related...
The <italic>N</italic>-difluoromethyl triazolo-β-aza-ε-amino acid present in the core of peptides led to constrained conformations due CH–F and NH–F interactions.
Abstract Lamivudine, an L-nucleoside, has been considered the cornerstone of antiretroviral therapy programs considering its favorable efficacy, convenient dosing, and safety profile. The low incidence side effects in comparison with D-nucleoside analogs is due to presence sulfur also stereochemistry difference. Considering importance lamivudine especially acquired immune deficiency syndrome treatment, but hepatitis B infection (HBV), two critical diseases nowadays, purpose this article...
Two series of pyrazinamide (PZA) derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Some compounds exhibited minimum inhibitory concentration 50–100 μg/mL, greater than the first line antituberculosis drug PZA Alamar Blue assay (>100 μg/mL). The obtained activities can be considered promising results, which characterizes these as good start points to development new antitubercular agents.
