A series of 2-(substituted-phenyl)-5-(N,N-diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (3-15) were synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. The percentage inhibition in edema at different time intervals indicated that compounds 8, 11, 12, 14 and 15 exhibited good anti-inflammatory potential. The results illustrate th...

Cyclization of acyclic C-glycoside derivatives 1a,b to 2a,b as the major isomers, and 4a,b as the minor isomers were carried out. The isopropylidene derivatives 3a,b were prepared, as well as the hydrazide derivative 6, which was condensed with a variety of aldehydes to give hydrazones 7a-e which were also prepared from the compounds 12a-e. Acetylation of 7a,d gave the corresponding acetyl deri...

The new pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridines and 2,7-naphthyridine derivatives have been synthesized. 4-Hydroxy-8-methyl-l-oxo-6-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-2,7-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid hydrazide (4) was the key intermediate for the synthesis of the novel derivatives of various chemical structures: Schiff bases, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, pyrazoles, carbohydrazides, semi- and thiosemicarbazides. The structures of the...

This paper presents the design of some novel 3-acetylcoumarin derivatives, based on minimal inhibitory concentration values (MICs) previously obtained against some microorganism cultures, Gram positive and negative bacteria and fungi. Some of these molecules exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus, comparable to that of the standard used (impinem). The in vitro antioxidant activities...
