Direct synthesis of N-acylalkylenediamines from carboxylic acids under mild conditions
Bandgar,Bettigeri
, p. 2917 - 2924 (2004)
Monoacylated piperazine derivatives were prepared directly from carboxylic acids and piperazine using triphenylphosphine (TPP) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in dichloromethane. Inexpensive and readily available reagents, excellent yields, short reaction times and mild reaction conditions are important features of this method.

Page/Page column 46, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to inhibitors of DNMT containing zinc moiety derivatives that have enhanced or unique properties as inhibitors of DNA methyl transferases (DNMT) and their use in the treatment of DNMT related diseases and disorders such as cancer. The said derivatives may further act as HDAC inhibitors.
Study of synthesis and cardiovascular activity of some furoxan derivatives as potential NO-donors

A series of hybrid molecules incorporating the furoxan and nicorandil moieties were designed as potential NO donors with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular activities. Thirty-six target molecules were successfully synthesized by conventional methods and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectra. The compounds were tested for their effects on KCl-induced contraction of rabbit thoracic aorta whose endothelium was denuded. Eight compounds were found to reduce KCl-induced contraction by more than 30% at 10 μM. All except one of these compounds are characterized by the presence of electron withdrawing groups in the phenyl ring attached via an amide or ester linkage to the furoxan moiety. The nature of the terminal carbonyl linkage (ester or amide) and the length or type of the alkyl chain bridging the two carbonyl functions have little effect on the activity. One of the active compounds, N-(4- methoxy-benzoyl)-N'-[3-methylfuroxanyl-4-carbonyl)piperazine (17i) was tested for hypotensive effects on anaesthetized rats at 1.5 mg/kg, and found to demonstrate a gradual and sustained hypotensive effect. The results suggest that the furoxannicorandil derivatives are a useful lead in the design of NO- donor compounds for hypertension.
