Herein, an efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of 4-(substitutedphenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-6-(2-oxo-2H-benzo[g]chromen-3-yl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile derivatives have been reported using ammonium acetate as catalyst. The structures synthesized compounds were confirmed FT-IR, 1H, 13C-NMR LC-MS spectroscopic techniques. evaluated antibacterial activity against bacterial strains by agar...

Benzoylthiourea derivatives containing heterocyclic moiety strongly coordinate and stabilize the organometallic fac-[Re(CO)3]+ core forming both monomer multimer organorhenium(I) complexes. The reaction of isophthaloyl dichloride with potassium thiocyanate in acetone followed by addition diphenylamine led to a novel benzoylthiourea derivative triazinethione ligand, typically 3-(4-(diphenylamino...

In search of potent cholinesterase inhibitors, we have carried out the synthesis and biologically evaluation of various benzaldehyde based 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives. In vitro assay results revealed that all the synthesized compounds showed activity against both enzymes (AChE and BChE) and in few cases, the inhibition activity was even higher than or comp...

[reaction: see text] The photocyclization of 2-vinylbiphenyl and its derivatives has been proposed to occur via a two-step mechanism: photocyclization to form an unstable 8a,9-dihydro-phenanthrene intermediate, followed by exothermic unimolecular isomerization to a 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene. The mechanism of the hydrogen shift process has been investigated using deuterated derivatives of 2-isopr...

Five novel derivatives of N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracenyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide were synthesized and their lipid-lowering effects studied in hyperlipidemic rats. Fusion of the anthraquinone derivatives at high temperature with 5-indole-2-carbonyl chloride, followed by recrystallization from chloroform/methanol gave the desired compounds in excellent yields. Compounds 1 to 5 at a non-to...

An environment friendly synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-4H-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran, 2aryl benzimidazole and 2-aryl-4, 5-dihydro-1H-imidazole derivatives using Mg-Al hydrotalcite as an efficient catalyst has been developed. The excellent efficiency of the catalyst can be attributed to its Lewis acidic sites which resulted in higher reaction yields for different sub...

The mutagenic activities of benzo[f]quinoline, benzo[h]quinoline, and a number of their derivatives, including dihydrodiols, K-region oxides, diol epoxides, and tetrahydroepoxides, were assessed in strain TA 100 of Salmonella typhimurium. The dihydrodiol derivatives of benzo[f]quinoline and benzo[h]quinoline were also tested for tumorigenic activity in newborn mice. Benzo[f]quinoline was metabo...

Catalytic hydrogenation of rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C, and rebaudioside D; the three ent-kaurane diterpene glycosides isolated from Stevia rebaudiana was carried out using Pd(OH)(2). Reduction of steviol glycosides was performed using straightforward synthetic chemistry with the catalyst Pd(OH)(2) and structures of the corresponding dihydro derivatives were characterized on the basis of 1D ...

We evaluated the broadspectrum antiretroviral activity of 4-[(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3H-indol-3-ylidene)amino]N-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)-benzene sulphonamide and its derivatives using different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV. Several SPIII derivatives were found to inhibit HIV-1 (IIIB and NL4.3) replication in MT-4 cells at EC50 values ranging from 3.6 to 49.6 μg/ml. No cytotoxicity was observe...
