L-Nτ-methylhistidine methyl ester, MeHisOMe, has been employed as a potential ligand to mimic the histidine brace-type coordination of copper ions in enzymes such particulate methane monoxygenase or lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases. MeHisOMe was prepared by double-methylation ester. Subsequently, its complexation diphosphine copper(I) precursors [Cu(P^P)(MeCN)2]BF4 tested, which led complexe...

To discover new bioactive lead compounds for medicinal purposes, 2-cyano-3-(4-substituted)-N-(quinolin-3-yl) acrylamide derivatives 2-24, chromenes 25, 26 and benzochromenes 27, 28 were synthesized. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies. In addition, the structure of compound 1 was confirmed through X-ray cr...

A series of 1-phenyl-3-aryl-5-(4-(2-ethanoloxy) phenyl)-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized from chalcones and studied for their in vitro antibacterial activity. Chalcones i.e.,1-aryl-3-(4hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-ones, 1 on reaction with phenyl hydrazine yielded the corresponding 1-phenyl-3-aryl-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazoles 2 which on further reaction with 3-chloroethanol furnished the title co...

A novel series of N'-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-(4-substituted benzaldehyde)-semicarbazones, N1-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-[1-(4-substituted phenyl)ethanone]-semicarbazones and N1-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-[1-(4-substituted phenyl) (phenyl) methanone]-semicarbazones were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsan...

BACKGROUND Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines are purine analogues. They have beneficial properties as antimetabolites in purine biochemical reactions. This division compounds have attracted wide pharmaceutical interest because of their antitrypanosomal activity. RESULTS The present work depicts an effective synthesis convention of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, pyrazolo[5,1-c]triazines, thieno[2,3-b]py...

A series of new tetrasubstituted imidazoles 2-phenyl-3-(1, 4, 5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indole derivatives substituted with –F, Cl, Br, I,-OCH3 and -NHCOCH3 were synthesized using a multicomponent reaction. The compounds were obtained in good yields by easy workup and with high purity

A promising imidazole compound was synthesized through the following route. The reaction of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carbohydrazide (1) with carbon disulfide and potassium hydroxide in ethanol (80%) afforded salt (2). Refluxing (2) phenacyl bromide (3) ethanol/water (1:1) gave 2-((5-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)-1-phenylethan-1-one (4) a 76% yield. stru...
