- One pot synthesis of aryl nitriles from aromatic aldehydes in a water environment
-
In this study, we found a green method to obtain aryl nitriles from aromatic aldehyde in water. This simple process was modified from a conventional method. Compared with those approaches, we used water as the solvent instead of harmful chemical reagents. In this one-pot conversion, we got twenty-five aryl nitriles conveniently with pollution to the environment being minimized. Furthermore, we confirmed the reaction mechanism by capturing the intermediates, aldoximes.

- Synthesis and SAR study of simple aryl oximes and nitrofuranyl derivatives with potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
Background: Oximes and nitrofuranyl derivatives are particularly important compounds in medicinal chemistry. Thus, many researchers have been reported to possess antibacterial, antiparasitic, insecticidal and fungicidal activities. Methods: In this work, we report the synthesis and the biological activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV of a series of fifty aryl oximes, ArCH=N-OH, I, and eight nitrofuranyl compounds, 2-nitrofuranyl-X, II. Results: Among the oximes, I: Ar = 2-OH-4-OH, 42, and I: Ar = 5-nitrofuranyl, 46, possessed the best activity at 3.74 and 32.0 μM, respectively. Also, 46, the nitrofuran compounds, II; X = MeO, 55, and II: X = NHCH2Ph, 58, (14.6 and 12.6 μM, respectively), exhibited excellent biological activities and were non-cytotoxic. Conclusion: The compound 55 showed a selectivity index of 9.85. Further antibacterial tests were performed with compound 55 which was inactive against Enterococcus faecalis, Klebisiella pneumonae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhymurium and Shigel-la flexneri. This study adds important information to the rational design of new lead anti-TB drugs. Structure-activity Relationship (SAR) is reported.

- Discovery of Natural Product-Based Fungicides (II): Semisynthesis and Biological Activity of Sarisan Attached 3-Phenylisoxazolines as Antifungal Agents
-
Many phytopathogenic fungi cause severe damage to crop yields. In continuation of our research aimed at the discovery and development of natural products-based fungicides, a series of thirty-one sarisan attached 3-phenylisoxazolines were synthesized and evaluated for their antifungal activities against five phytopathogenic fungi (B. cinerea, C. lagenarium, A. solani, F. solani, and F. graminearum). Among all title sarisan derivatives, compounds IV2, IV14 and IV23 showed potent antifungal activity against some phytopathogenic fungi. In particular, compound IV2 exhibited a broad-spectrum and more potent antifungal activity against A. solani, F. solani, and F. graminearum than the commercial fungicide Hymexazol. In addition, compounds IV2, IV14 and IV23 also displayed relative low toxicity on normal NRK-52E cells. This work will give some insights into the development of sarisan derivatives as new fungicide candidates in plant protection.

- Synthesis of aromatic and indole alpha-glucosinolates
-
Aromatic and indole glucosinolates are important members of the glucosinolate family of compounds du to their potential medicinal properties. They are known to exert antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic activity either by the natural products themselves, or their metabolic products including indole-3-carbinol and isothiocyanates. Natural glucosinolates are all β-glucosinolates; however, α-glucosinolates are also promising compounds for medicinal applications and hence have to be produced synthetically for any bio-activity studies. Here we report on the successful synthesis of a series of α-glucosinolates: α-neoglucobrassicin, α-4-methoxyglucobrassicin, 2,3-dichlorophenyl-α-glucosinolate for the first time. Testing for anti-inflammatory properties of these synthetic GLs, however, did not yield the expected activity.

- 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of uracil derivatives with nitrile oxides: Synthesis of [1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,5-c]pyrimidine-5,7(6H)-dione derivatives
-
An efficient method of synthesizing bicyclic fused [1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,5-c]pyrimidine-5,7(6H)-dione derivatives was developed through a [3 + 2] cycloaddition of uracil derivatives and nitrile oxides. In the one step reaction, C[sbnd]N and C[sbnd]O bonds were constructed, the target compounds were efficiently obtained in good yields. The method represents a valuable way to obtain highly functional fused bicyclic heterocycle derivatives in a simple, rapid and practical manner. The method fusing bicyclic heterocycles can be applied for modification of uracil analogues that may have potential biological activities.

- Preparation and X-ray analysis of potassium (2,3-dichlorophenyl) glucosinolate
-
There has been much interest in obtaining crystals for crystallographic analysis of biologically active glucosinolates. Crystals of potassium (2,3-dichlorophenyl)glucosinolate were obtained as a dual solvate, containing one methanol and one ethanol molecule of crystallization, K+ C 13H14Cl2NO9S2 - CH3OH C2H5OH. The three-dimensional polymeric network consists of chains containing the potassium ions coordinated and bridged by sugar O atoms, which run parallel to the a axis and are further crosslinked through the sugar molecules. The channels of this network are occupied by the dichlorophenyl substituents and the ethanol and methanol solvent molecules. The structure of the S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- β-d-glucopyranosyl)-2,3-dichlorophenylacetothiohydroxymate, C 21H23Cl2NO10S, precursor has also been determined and the β-configuration and Z isomer of the thiohydroximate substituent is confirmed.

- Design, synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of various 3-(4-(substitutedsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)benzo[ d[isoxazole derivatives
-
In this communication, we synthesized a series of twenty four novel 3-(4-(substitutedsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)benzo[d]isoxazole analogues, characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and evaluated for their in vitro anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Rv strain. The titled compounds exhibited Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 3.125 and >50 μg/mL. Among the tested compounds, 5c, 6a, 6j and 6p exhibited moderate activity (MIC Combining double low line 12.5 μg/mL), while 5a and 6i exhibited good activity (MIC Combining double low line 6.25 μg/mL) and 6b (MIC Combining double low line 3.125 μg/mL) exhibited very good anti-tubercular activity. In addition, the analogues 5a, 5c, 6a, 6b, 6i, 6j and 6p were subjected to toxicity studies against mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) cell lines to analyse the selectivity profile of the newly synthesized compounds and selectivity index of the most active compound was found to be >130 indicating suitability of the compound for further drug development. Structure of 6b was further substantiated through single crystal XRD.

- Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of aromatic glucosinolates
-
Aromatic GLs are important members of the glucosinolate family of compounds because of their potential biological activity and medicinal properties. This study has shown success in the high yielding synthesis of some important aromatic GLs as well as the results of testing for anti-inflammatory properties of the synthetic GLs. 3,4-Dimethoxyphenylglucosinolate was found to be the most active anti-inflammatory of the seven glucosinolates assayed.
