The minimal inhibitory concentrations of various antibiotics for a strain of Streptococcus pyogenes and a stable L-form of it were determined. These results were evaluated with those of other investigators similarly performed with S. faecalis and derived protoplasts. Differences in reaction to puromycin, bacitracin and ristocetin were apparent only between the wall-less derivatives. The polyene...

In a sustained search for novel ?-amylase inhibitors the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we report herein synthesis series nineteen rhodanine-fused spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3?-oxindoles]. They were obtained by one-pot three component [3 + 2] cycloaddition stabilized azomethine ylides, generated in situ condensation glycine methyl ester and cyclic ketones 1H-indole-2,3-dione (isatin), w...

BINAM-prolinamides are very efficient catalyst for the synthesis of non-protected and N-benzyl isatin derivatives by using an aldol reaction between ketones and isatins under solvent-free conditions. The results in terms of diastereo- and enantioselectivities are good, up to 99% de and 97% ee, and higher to those previously reported in the literature under similar reaction conditions. A high va...

Isatin and its metabolites are constituents of many natural substances. They are also components of many synthetic compounds exhibiting a wide range of effects, including antiviral activity, antitumor and antiangiogenic activity, antibacterial, antitubercular, antifungal, antiaptotic, anticonvulsant and anxyolytic activities. Isatin itself is an endogenous oxidized indole with a wide spectrum o...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Derivatives of isatin are known to have cytotoxicity against human carcinoma cell lines. This compound therefore, has a potential to be used as a chemotherapeutic agent against cancer. This study was done to investigate the antioxidant and anticancer activities of isatin, extracted from flower of a folklore medicinal plant Couroupita guianensis against human promylocytic...

Our previous research have identified a series of N-phenyl substituted isatin derivatives as antitumor agents in vitro. 5-Bromo isatin derivatives have been found to increase their cytotoxic activity and selectivity. A series of 5-bromo-N-phenyl isatin analogues were designed and synthesized about 40-80% overall yields. All of synthesized compounds have not been reported before. Their structure...

some new 3-[(5-benzylidene-2-phenyl)-3, 5-dihydro-4-h-imidazol-4-one-3-(4-bezoylhydrazono)]-indole-2-ones (viii) have been synthesized from different isatinhydrazones (ii) by condensing with 2-phenyl-5-benzylidene- 3-n (4-acetyl phenyl)-1, 5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (vii). their chemical structures have been confirmed by ir, 1hnmr, mass and by elemental analysis. investigation of antimicrobial ac...

The title compound, C(13)H(15)NO(3), was synthesized by the Aldol reaction of isatin and 3-methyl-butan-2-one refluxing in methanol catalyzed by dimethyl-amine. The packing of the mol-ecules in the crystal structure features inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The asymmetric Neber reaction of 3-O-sulfonyl ketoxime, in situ generated from isatin ketoxime and sulfonyl chloride, for the synthesis of chiral spirocyclic oxindole compounds is reported. With the developed protocol, a range of chiral spirooxindole 2H-azirines could be obtained in good to excellent yields and up to a 92 : 8 enantiomeric ratio by using (DHQD)2PHAL as the catalyst. This methodo...
