Tricyclic azaergoline analogues: synthesis, structural modifications, and pharmacological studies.

Design, Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel Endomorphin Analogues with Multiple Structural Modifications

SYNTHESIS OF 4-(1-BENZYL-5-IMIDAZOLYL)-1,4-DIHYDROPYRIDINES

The o-nitrophenyl group at position 4 of dihydropyridine of nifedipine analogues was replaced with 2-alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl substituent. Starting from dihydroxyacetone 2-alkythio-1-benzyl- 5-formyl imidazole (3) was first synthesized which was subsequently used in synthesizing symmetrical (5a-f) and asymmetrical (6a,b) dihydropyridines. Primarily pharmacological studies of the title co...

Synthesis and Applicationof New Fluorescein Analogues

In this project, new derivatives of fluorescein were synthesized using the reaction of maleic anhydride and saccharin with phenol derivatives in the presence of ZnCl2, and their structures were elucidated by UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. Fluorimetry studies showed that, the synthesized compounds can be utilized as fluorescent agents, and their efficiencies were dependent on pH of solution. Acco...

[Synthesis, physicochemical and pharmacological properties of pentacyclic alkaloid-analogues].

Quinazolinocarboline rutaecarpine and evodiamine (Evodia rutaecarpa) are main alkaloid components of traditional Chinese folk-remedies. Evodiamine exhibited selective antitumor and antimetastatic effects on several cancer cell lines and became lead structure of anticancer agents. During our synthetic research we achieved to gain alkaloid hybrid derivatives by combining the structural elements o...

Chemical Synthesis and Biological Activity of Analogues of the Lantibiotic Epilancin 15X

Lantibiotics are a large family of antibacterial peptide natural products containing multiple post-translational modifications, including the thioether structures lanthionine and methyllanthionine. Efforts to probe structure-activity relationships and engineer improved pharmacological properties have driven the development of new methods to produce non-natural analogues of these compounds. In t...
