- Synthesis and in vitro antiprotozoal activity of 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives.
-
Several thiosemicarbazone derivatives of 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde were prepared by the simple process in which N(4)-thiosemicarbazone moiety was replaced by aliphatic, arylic and cyclic amine. Among these thiosemicarbazones compound 11 showed significant antiamoebic activity whereas compound 3 was more active antitrichomonal than the reference drug.

- Synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of novel 1-N-substituted thiocarbomoyl-3-ferrocenyl-2-pyrazoline derivatives
-
Some novel 1-N-substituted thiocarbomoyl-3-ferrocenyl-2-pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antiamoebic activity against HM1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. The results showed that most of the compounds exhibited promising activity (IC50 values in the range of 0.050-1.683 μM) than the reference drug metronidazole (IC50 = 1.78 μM). Active compounds were further screened for cytotoxicity against human embryonic kidney-293 (HEK-293) normal cell lines to ensure their toxic effect and the results revealed that active compounds were least toxic in the concentration range of 2.5-50 μM for 48 h and 2.5-25 μM for 72 h. At 100 μM for 48 h and at 50 μM for 72 h only four compounds 2c, 2h, 2k and 2l showed maximum viability and least cytotoxicity, respectively, concluding that all the screened compounds were least cytotoxic against human embryonic kidney-293 (HEK-293) normal cell lines in the concentration range of 2.5-50 and 2.5-25 μM.

- 3-(1,3,4-Thiadiazole-2-yl)quinoline derivatives: Synthesis, characterization and anti-microbial activity
-
A new series of thiadiazoles and intermediate thiosemicarbazones were synthesized from the chloroquinone molecule, with an aim to explore their effect on in vitro growth of microorganisms causing microbial infection. The chemical structures of the compound were elucidated by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral data. In vitro anti-microbial activity was performed against Staphylococcusaureus, Streptococcuspyogenes, Salmonellatyphimurium, and Escherichiacoli. The MIC was detected using the double dilution method. The results were compared by calculating percent inhibit area/μg of the compounds and the standard "amoxicillin". The selected compounds were tested for cytotoxic results using MTT assay H9c2 cardiac myoblasts cell line and the results showed that all the compounds offered remarkable >80% viability to a concentration of 200 μg/mL.

- Bis-pyrazolines: Synthesis, characterization and antiamoebic activity as inhibitors of growth of Entamoeba histolytica
-
The cyclization of chalcone with N-4 substituted thiosemicarbazides under basic condition led to the formation of new compounds, thiocarbamoyl bis-pyrazoline derivatives. The structure of the compounds were elucidated by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral data and thermogravimetric analysis, and their purities were confirmed by elemental analyses. The antiamoebic activity of these complexes was evaluated by microdilution method against HM1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica and the results were compared with the standard drug, metronidazole. Structure-activity relationship shows that the compound with aromatic substituents at the thiocarbamoyl group was more active than those with the cyclic groups. However, it was clear from the IC50 values that the compounds 15 and 20 are more active and both showed a structural resemblance having an electron withdrawing groups attached to the phenyl ring. MTT assay showed that all the compounds are non-toxic to human kidney epithelial cell line.

- Synthesis and in vitro antibacterial activity of new steroidal thiosemicarbazone derivatives
-
We investigated the antibacterial activity of some new steroidal thiosemicarbazone derivatives, prepared from the reaction of cholest-5-en-7-one with thiosemicarbazides, in ethanol in the presence of a few drops of HCl at 80 °C in high yield. All the compounds have been characterized by means of elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR and mass spectroscopic data, to find an effective antibacterial agent. The antibacterial activity was first tested in vitro by the disk diffusion assay against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria, and then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of compounds was determined. The results showed that the steroidal thiosemicarbazones derivatives inhibit growth of both types of the bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). The acetoxy and chloro derivatives of cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl amine thiosemicarbazones were found to have more antibacterial activity than the other derivatives.

3-Phenyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one obtained by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-acetyl thiophene with benzaldehyde was converted into 2,3-dibromo-3-phenyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)propan-1-one, which on treatment with various thiosemicarbazides in the presence of triethylamine in absolute ethanol, yielded the corresponding hydroxy pyrazolines 3a-h. All the compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectra. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- Synthesis and antiamoebic activity of 3,7-dimethyl-pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,2,4] triazin-4-yl thiosemicarbazide derivatives
-
A series of 3,7-dimethyl-pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazin-4-yl thiosemicarbazide derivatives 3-22 were prepared and evaluated in vitro against HM1:1MSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica, to identify the compounds for antiamoebic activity. They exhibited antiamoebic activity in the range (IC 50 = 0.81-7.31 μM). The results were compared to the activity of known drug metronidazole. It is inferred from the in vitro studies that the compounds 10, 11, 17 and 18 were found to be significantly better inhibitors of E. histolytica since IC50 values in the μM range elicited by these compounds are much lower than metronidazole. Besides, compounds 11 and 17 have shown the most promising antiamoebic activity (IC50 = 0.81 μM of 11, IC50 = 0.84 μM of 17 versus IC50 = 1.81 μM of metronidazole). The study suggests the possibility of developing triazine analogues as potential drug candidates for antiamoebic activity.
