- First columnar rufigallol liquid crystals with high fluorescence at aggregated states
-
The design and synthesis of columnar liquid crystals with high fluorescence at aggregated states (eliminating the ACQ effect) was an important challenge in the field of liquid crystalline materials. In this work, the first rufigallol columnar liquid crystals with AIE groups were prepared and exhibited good fluorescence in aggregated states. A series of diphenylacrylonitrile-rufigallol-diphenylacrylonitrile trimers was designed and prepared in 70–78% yields. They showed the ordered hexagonal columnar liquid crystals based on the induction of planar rufigallol structures. They also exhibited the good fluorescence in aggregated states with the fluorescence quantum yields of 0.21–0.26 based on the AIE effect of diphenylacrylonitrile units. The length of bridging alkyl chains between rufigallol and diphenylacrylonitrile units contributed to decrease the mesophase transition temperature and increase the fluorescence quantum yields.

- 2-Aryl benzazole derived new class of anti-tubercular compounds: Endowed to eradicate mycobacterium tuberculosis in replicating and non-replicating forms
-
The high mortality rate and the increasing prevalence of Mtb resistance are the major concerns for the Tuberculosis (TB) treatment in this century. To counteract the prevalence of Mtb resistance, we have synthesized 2-aryl benzazole based dual targeted molecules. Compound 9m and 9n were found to be equally active against replicating and non-replicating form of Mtb (MIC(MABA) 1.98 and 1.66 μg/ml; MIC(LORA) 2.06 and 1.59 μg/ml respectively). They arrested the cell division (replicating Mtb) by inhibiting the GTPase activity of FtsZ with IC50 values 45 and 64 μM respectively. They were also capable of kill Mtb in non-replicating form by inhibiting the biosynthesis of menaquinone which was substantiated by the MenG inhibition (IC50 = 11.62 and 7.49 μM respectively) followed by the Vit-K2 rescue study and ATP production assay.

- Effect of New Analogs of Hexyloxy Phenyl Imidazoline on Quorum Sensing in Chromobacterium violaceum and in Silico Analysis of Ligand-Receptor Interactions
-
The increasing common occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become an urgent public health issue. There are currently some infections without any effective treatment, which require new therapeutic strategies. An attractive alternative is the design of compounds capable of disrupting bacterial communication known as quorum sensing (QS). In Gram-negative bacteria, such communication is regulated by acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs). Triggering of QS after bacteria have reached a high cell density allows them to proliferate before expressing virulence factors. Our group previously reported that hexyloxy phenylimidazoline (9) demonstrated 71% inhibitory activity of QS at 100 μM (IC50 = 90.9 μM) in Chromobacterium violaceum, a Gram-negative bacterium. The aim of the present study was to take 9 as a lead compound to design and synthesize three 2-imidazolines (13-15) and three 2-oxazolines (16-18), to be evaluated as quorum-sensing inhibitors on C. violaceum CV026. We were looking for compounds with a higher affinity towards the Cvi receptor of this bacterium and the ability to inhibit QS. The binding mode of the test compounds on the Cvi receptor was explored with docking studies and molecular dynamics. It was found that 8-pentyloxyphenyl-2-imidazoline (13) reduced the production of violacein (IC50 = 56.38 μM) without affecting bacterial growth, suggesting inhibition of quorum sensing. Indeed, compound 13 is apparently one of the best QS inhibitors known to date. Molecular docking revealed the affinity of compound 13 for the orthosteric site of N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (C6-AHL) on the CviR protein. Ten amino acid residues in the active binding site of C6-AHL in the Cvi receptor interacted with 13, and 7 of these are the same as those interacting with AHL. Contrarily, 8-octyloxyphenyl-2-imidazoline (14), 8-decyloxyphenyl-2-imidazoline (15), and 9-decyloxyphenyl-2-oxazoline (18) bound only to an allosteric site and thus did not compete with C6-AHL for the orthosteric site.

- 1,3-Oxazine-2-one derived dual-targeted molecules against replicating and non-replicating forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
The high mortality rate and increasing prevalence of resistant Mtb are the major concerns for the Tuberculosis (TB) treatment in this century. To curtail the prevalence of resistant Mtb, we have prepared 1,3-oxazine-2-one based dual targeted molecules. Compound 67 and 68 were found to be equally active against replicating and non-replicatiing form of Mtb (MICMABA 3.48 and 2.97 μg/ml; MICLORA 2.94 and 2.15 μg/ml respectively). They had found to suppress the biosynthesis of alfa, methoxy and keto-mycolate completely, as well as inhibit enzymatic activity of MenG (IC50 = 9.11 and 6.25 μg/ml respectively for H37Ra; IC50 = 11.76 and 10.88 μg/ml respectively for M smegmatis).

-
We report here design and synthesis of two new mesogenic homologous series of coumarin derivatives consisting of chalcone and imine central linkages along with terminal n-alkoxy chain. All the compounds were synthesized and characterized by combination of elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. All compounds were screened under polarising optical microscope (POM) for liquid crystalline properties, thermogram of all compounds were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to get phase transition temperatures, enthalpy and entropy. X-ray single crystal study of n-octyloxy coumarin derivative 16 g was resolved with imine central linkage, which showed linear rod like geometry.

- Anticancer, antimicrobial activities of quinoline based hydrazone analogues: Synthesis, characterization and molecular docking
-
Based on the biologically active heterocycle quinoline, a series (18a-p) of quinoline hydrazone analogues were prepared, starting from 6-bromo/6-chloro-2-methyl-quinolin-4-yl-hydrazines. For all the newly synthesized compounds cytotoxic activities were carried out at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA, against full NCI 60 human cancer cell lines. Amongst all the tested compounds, nine compounds (18b, 18d, 18e, 18f, 18g, 18h, 18i, 18j, 18l) exhibited important anti-proliferative activity at 10 μM concentration and were further screened at 10-fold dilutions of five different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μM) with GI50 values ranging from 0.33 to 4.87 μM and LC50 values ranging from 4.67 μM to >100j μM. Further, the mean values of GI50, TGI and LC50 of the most potent compound 18j were compared with the clinically used anticancer agents bendamustine and chlorambucil, revealed that the quinolyl hydrazones holds promise as a potential anticancer agents. Further all the newly prepared compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity. All the quinolyl hydrazones displayed good to excellent antimicrobial activity with MIC values ranging from 6.25 to 100 μg/mL against the tested pathogenic strains. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds into the active binding site of human DNA topoisomerase I (htopoI) was carried out to predict the binding mode to the DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors. Hopefully in future, compounds based on quinoline core could be used as a lead compounds for designing new anticancer agents.

- “Effect of the linking unit on the calamitic-shaped liquid crystal: a comparative study of two homologous series of benzoate and cinnamate linked compounds”
-
Two homologous series based on three linking groups have been synthesized and well characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared [FT-IR] and proton magnetic resonance magnetic resonance [1H NMR] spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were observed by using optical polarized microscopy (POM) and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. In this present investigation, we have synthesized two homologous series viz. (E)-4-(3-(4-(tetra decanoyloxy) phenyl) acryloyl) phenyl-4-n-alkoxy benzoate (Series-1) and 4-((E)-3-(4-(((E)-3-(4-n-alkoxy phenyl) acryloyl) oxy) phenyl)-3-oxo prop-1-en-1-yl) phenyl tetradecanoate (Series-2). Both of the series are differing with respect to the first linking group. All the homologous in following series displays LC properties on heating as well as cooling condition except first four homologous (C1 to C4) in series-1 and six homologous (C1 to C6) in series-2. To get more insights, the HOMO, LUMO studies are carried out which supports intramolecular charge transfer interactions in this class of mesogens.

- Bowl-shaped fluorescent liquid crystals derived from 4-: Tert butyl calix[4]arene and trans cinnamic acid derivatives
-
A new family of bowl-shaped molecules with a calix[4]arene rigid core appended by four-side and two-side substitution with trans 4-n-alkoxy cinnamic acid has been synthesized and well characterized. The LC behaviours of the novel materials were studied by using optical polarising microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction methods to confirm the smectic organization. It is found that all of the prepared materials display enantiotropic LC phases in the present series-1 (1d4-1, 1d5-l, 1d8-1, 1d10-l, 1d12-l, 1d14-l) and series-2 (1d4-1l, 1d5-ll, 1d8-1l, 1d10-ll, 1d12-ll, 1d14-ll). The electrochemical behaviour shows the higher reactivity of the proposed derivatives, which is in good agreement with the DFT values. The relationship between the structure and the mesomorphic behaviour of the compounds in both series is discussed. These synthesized supramolecular compounds show blue luminescence in solution as well as in solid thin films under long wavelength UV light. To get more insights, HOMO and LUMO studies were carried out, which support intramolecular charge transfer interactions in this class of mesogens.

- Liquid Crystalline Properties of 4,4'-methylenebis(N-(4-Alkanoxybenzylidene)aniline): Synthesis, Characterization, and Theoretical study
-
The paper presents six homologues series of Schiff bases ether compounds distinguished by the length of terminal alkoxy groups which substituted on a side benzene nucleus. The above structures were demonstrated through the use of spectroscopic techniques, like FT- IR and1H-NMR. Polarized hot stage optical microscopy was used to study both mesomorphic properties and phase transitions. The results showed that out of the six compounds only three (B2, B3 and B4) were pure (marble) nematic mesophase, while no liquid crystal properties for (B5, B6 and B7) compounds. The theoretical study for the electronic structures was intended to study the effects of alkyl chain length on the electronic structure by using Gaussian program, DFT and 6-31G as basis set. The theoretical results indicate that there is no effect to the terminal substituted alkoxy groups on the HOMO energies but there is an effect on LUMO energies through decreasing energy for the prepared compounds.

Series consists of twelve homologs. LC properties commence from very first member of a series and continue up to last homolog as enantiotropic nematic with absence of smectic property even in the monotropic condition. Transition temperatures of homologs were determined by polarizing optical microscopy equipped with a heating stage. The transition curves Cr?N and N?I behaved in normal manner. Thermal stability for nematic is 196.7?C whose mesophaselength ranges from 35°C to 131°C.

- Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of Novel Benzylamine-Type Antifungals as Butenafine-Related Antimycotics
-
Benzylamine-type antimycotics like naftifine, butenafine, or terbinafine are a well-known class of antimycotics since the 1980s. The following paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel benzylamine-type antimycotics characterized by an isooctyl side chain and various substituents at the benzylamine moiety. The compounds were prepared from benzaldehyde derivatives and 2-amino-6-methylheptane by reductive amination with sodium triacetoxyborohydride and subsequent precipitation with hydrogen chloride. The antimycotic activity of the resulting compounds was evaluated in an agar diffusion assay against the yeasts C. glabrata and Yarrowia lipolytica, the mold Aspergillus niger and the dermatophyte H. burtonii. The compounds were also tested in a microdilution assay against the yeast Candida glabrata and the dermatophyte H. burtonii to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Compounds with an aromatic ether side chain or a short alkyl ether side chain showed significant antimycotic activity against C. glabrata, comparable to terbinafine or clotrimazole.

A new series of liquid crystals involving chalconyl-based mesogenic units interlinked between two benzene cores were designed and synthesized. The target chalconyl compounds were obtained by the reaction of 4-n-alkoxy benzaldehyde with 4-n-hexadecyloxy (–OC16H33) acetophenone in presence of base. The liquid crystalline properties of synthesized compounds were observed by polarizing optical microscope study. The molecular structures of the compounds were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, 1H, and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The compounds of the series C3 to C8, C10, C12, C14, C16, and C18 exhibited mesophase in enantiotropically manner. The transition temperature reduced as alkyl spacer of left side group increased. The observed texture images are droplets, broken fan, and threaded like. Thermal stability of current homologous series for (N-I/I-N) is 69.8°C and for smectic phase (Sm + N) is 58.0°C.

The novel homologues series (C1 to C18) consists of thirteen homologues with general formula RO?C6H4?CH?CH?CO?C6H4?OC10H21(n) (meta). The C1, C2, C3 homologues are nonliquid crystals (NLC) and the rest of the homologues (C4 to C18) are either monotropic or enantiotropic liquid crystals. C4 to C6 homologues are enantiotropicnematic and the rest of the mesomorphic homologues are (C7 to C18) monotropicsmectic in addition to monotropicnematic character. Transition and melting temperatures including textures of homologues were determined by an optical polarizing (POM) microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren, and that of the smectic phase are of the type Smectic A or C as judged directly from the heating top of the microscope. Thermal stability for smectic is very poor and of the nematic is (N-I) 69.3°C whose, total mesophase length ranges between 07.0 to 14.0°C at C8 and C4 homologues respectively.

- Synthetic pathway for a new calamitic series of liquid crystal: Comparison with corresponding linkage group
-
Reduction-responsive cystamine-incorporated gelatin microspheres were prepared by an emulsification method. On SEM micrograph, the microsphere, prepared at pH 9.0 and at the carboxyl/amino group molar ratio of 1:1, was sphere-like and its diameter was a few to 100 μm. The gelatin to cystamine ratio of the microsphere was about 1:0.2 (w/w), determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Two endothermic peaks were observed around 92°C and 126°C, which were thought to be the melting point of gelatin-rich phase and that of cystamine-rich phase, respectively. The microsphere released its payload (FITC-dextran) in dithiothreitol (a reducing agent) concentration-dependent manner.

The novel series consists of eleven homologs (C1–C16). The C1 and C2 homologs are nonliquid crystals and the rest of the homologs (C3–C16) are enantiotropic nematic without exhibition of smectic mesophase. Transition and melting temperatures were determined by an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. Textures of nematic phases are threaded or Schlieren. Cr-N/I transition curve adopts a zigzag path in a normal manner with overall descending behaviors. The N-I transition curve exhibits a sharp and shorter odd-even effect from C3 to C6 and it diminishes from and beyond C6 for higher homologs of longer n-alkyl chain (R) in more or less or negligible deviating manner from normal descending tendency. Thermal stability for the nematic is 116.4°C and mesophase length ranges from 19°C to 67°C at the C3 and C12 homolog respectively. The LC properties of present novel series are compared with structurally similar analogous series to derive group efficiency order.

Homologous series consisted of 13 dimers (C1 to C18). C1 to C8 are only enantiotropic nematic and the rest of the dimer homologues from C10 to C18 are enantiotropically smectogenic in addition to nematogenic. Textures of the nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren and that of the smectic phase are of the type smectic A or C. Transition temperatures and the textures were determined by an optical polarizing microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Thermal stability for smectic and nematic are 161.0 °C and 237.6 °C, respectively, whose total mesophase (Sm+N) length ranges from 71.0 °C to 126.0 °C. Cr–M, Sm–N, and N–I transition curves of a phase diagram behaved in normal manner except negligible abnormality at C14 dimer of N–I transition curve. N–I transition curve exhibited odd– even effect nearby up to C7 dimer. Analytical and spectral data supported molecular structures of homologue dimers. Thus, present homologue dimer series is predominantly nematogenic and partly smectogenic and high-ordered melting type. LC properties of present novel series are compared with structurally similar series.

A novel homologous series of thermotropic mesomorphs has been synthesized and studied with a view to understanding and establishing the effect of molecular structure on mesomorphic properties with reference to rigidity and flexibility of the homologues series: RO-C6H4-CH?CH-CO-C6H4-OC18H37(n). The novel homologous series comprises 13 novel homologues (C1 to C18), from which 11 homologues are enantiotropically mesogenic (C3 to C18). Smectogenic mesophase commences from C7 homologue, and nematogenic mesophase is exhibited by C3 to C18 homologues in enantiotropic manner. Thus, C7 to C18 homologues are enantiotropically smectogenic plus nematogenic. Textures of smectic phase are of the type A or C, and that of nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren as confirmed through an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. Transition curve of a phase diagram behaved in a normal manner except N-I transition curve, which shows minor deviating trend (C12 to C18) from expected normal behavior. An odd-even effect is exhibited by N-I and Sm-N transition curves. Analytical, spectral, and thermal data confirm the molecular structures of novel homologues. Thermal stabilities for smectic and nematic are 52.7°C and 66.6°C, respectively, whose total mesophase lengths range from 12.0°C to 28.0°C. Thus, novel series of chalcones is a low melting series whose mesogenic transition temperatures vary between 38.0 and 86.0°C.

A novel homologous series of liquid crystal materials containing a heterocyclic ring was synthesized with a view to understanding and establishing the relation between liquid crystal (LC) properties and a molecular structure; and with a view to curing skin-related diseases following biological activity studies. The series consist of 13 (C1 to C18) members. All the members are liquid crystals. The C4 to C18 members are smectogenic of which C4 and C5 are monotropic and remaining members (C6 to C18) are enantiotropic in nature; whereas all C1 to C18 members are enantiotropically nematogenic.
