Two series of N-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)- and N-[3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-3-aryl- and 3-spirocycloalkyl-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione derivatives were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity in the maximum electroshock (MES) seizure and pentetrazole (sc PTZ) seizure threshold tests. Compounds with an aromatic ring at position-3 of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione exhibited anticonvulsant acti...

there has been special interest in the chemistry of quinolone and pyrimidine derivatives due to their diverse biological activities such as anticonvulsant, anti-malarial agents, antibacterial, antiviral, cytostatic, antithelemintic, antigenotoxic, anti-cancer agents. these compounds are also used as targeting delayed-type hypersensivity and anti-convulsant agents. as a part of our research work...

Aminoanthraquinones were successfully synthesized via two reaction steps. 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone (1) was first subjected to methylation, reduction and acylation to give an excellent yield of anthracene-1,4-dione (3), 1,4-dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione (5) and 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4-diyl diacetate (7). Treatment of 1, 3, 5 and 7 with BuNH2 in the presence of PhI(OAc)2 as catal...

Synthesis of 2-(4-Acetyl-phenyl)-4-nitro-isoindole-1, 3-dione chalcones were performed by fusion 3-nitro phthalic anhydride with p-aminoacetophenone. Then the later was grinded different aromatic aldehydes in presence sodium hydroxide to produce new derivatives A3-10 without using any solvent formation N-arylphthailimide confirmed FTIR,1HNMR, 13CNMR spectroscopy and all final compounds tested f...

phenytoine derivatives were synthesized , via the  pinacol condensation  with the  reaction of 1,3- diphenyl- propane- 1,3- dione (benzyl) analogs with urea or thiourea in presence of slica gel and solid KOH as Solid phase catalyst  in the mortar / pestle at room temperatures. The reaction was completed at short reaction times (approximately 15min) and pure products were obtained with high yiel...

DNA intercalators belong to aromatic heterocyclic compounds interacting reversibly with DNA. These compounds have been used extremely as cytotoxic agents against cancer. In this study, the synthesis and biological activity of some novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione as new intercalating agent were investigated. Twenty novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione...

2-Substituted derivatives of indane-1,3-dione 3a–f , 5a–g, 6a–g were synthesized and investigated as anticoagulant agents. 2-Arylindane-1,3-diones (3) were obtained in the reaction of phthalide with appropriate arylaldehydes. 2-Arylmethyleneindane-1,3-diones (5) were prepared by condensation of indane-1,3-dione with the corresponding arylaldehydes. The compounds 5 were converted into their meth...

BACKGROUND Isoxazoles exhibit interesting biological activities, and the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition(13DC) reactions play an important role in both mechanistic and synthetic organic chemistry. Pyrazoles and annulated pyrazoles exhibit some diverse biological activities. They are used as antipyretic, analgesic drugs, tranquilizing, and herbicidal agents. Pyrazoles are also used extensively as usef...
