A series of 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4-chromanone- (2a-e) and chroman-2-carboxamides (3a-e) were synthesized and their antioxidant activities were evaluated. While compounds 2a-e were less active, compounds 3a-e exhibited more potent inhibition of lipid peroxidation initiated by Fe(2+) and ascorbic acid in rat brain homogenates. Among them, N-arylsubstituted-chroman-2-carboxamides (3d and 3e) exhibi...

A series of substituted N-benzyl-3-chloropyrazine-2-carboxamides were prepared as positional isomers of 5-chloro and 6-chloro derivatives, prepared previously. During the aminolysis of the acyl chloride, the simultaneous substitution of chlorine with benzylamino moiety gave rise to N-benzyl-3-(benzylamino)pyrazine-2-carboxamides as side products, in some cases. Although not initially planned, t...

A series of substituted 2,7-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides derivatives 5a-5m were synthesized through multi-step reactions. To achieve the synthesis of the desired compounds monobromo and dibromo substituted 2-amino-γ-picoline was reacted with ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate. The crude ethyl ester subjected to hydrolysis in presence of lithium hydroxide to get 2a and 2b, with imidazo[...

A series of 3-chloroquinoxaline-2-carboxamides were designed and prepared by the condensation of 3-chloro-2-quinoxaloylchloride with appropriate Mannich bases of the p-aminophenol in the microwave environment. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for serotonin(3) (5-HT(3)) receptor antagonistic activities in longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus (LMMP) preparation from guinea pig ileum again...

A range of novel carboxamide fungicides, inhibitors of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1) is currently being introduced to the crop protection market. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of structurally distinct carboxamides on target site resistance development and to assess possible impact on fitness. We used a UV mutagenesis approach in Mycosphaerella graminicol...
