In this study, Co3O4 nanocatalysts were constructed in environmentally appropriate conditions using controlled, effective, and facile microwave method. The final nanostructures were characterized by SEM, XRD, and TEM analyses. The products had a small size distribution, homogeneous morphology, and crystallographic structures associated with the formation of Co3O4 nanostructures. Moreover, EDS mapping analysis confirmed the existence of Co and O elements in the final structure, and the magnetic properties of the samples were investigated by VSM. The application of this nanostructure in a catalytic process was further examined, and the results suggested that it could be used as a novel candidate for the synthesis of arylidene barbituric and Meldrum,s acid through Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes by barbituric and Meldrum,s acid in aqueous media. The high yield of these nanocatalysts would be justified by the nature of the nanostructure as well as the experimental procedure developed in this study, which affected the physicochemical features of the products.

Abstract: In this work, we report synthesis and device fabrication studies of four metal-free D–A-type dyes (A1–A4) based on structurally simple N,N-dimethyl-4-vinyl aniline carrying four different acceptor/anchoring groups, as sensitizers for sensitizing photoanode (TiO2). In the sensitizers, N,N-dimethylaniline ring acts as an electron donor, while barbituric acid, N,N-dimethyl barbituric acid, thiobarbituric acid and N,N-diethyl thiobarbituric acid function as electron acceptor/anchoring units. They were synthesized in good yield via Knoevenagel protocol in neutral condition without any catalyst. Further, they were subjected to structural, electrochemical and optical characterization in order to evaluate their structure, band gap and absorption/emission behavior. The studies reveal that all the four dyes have thermodynamic feasibility of electron injection as well as electron recombination; their optical band gaps were found to be in the range of 2.35–2.56?eV. High-quality crystals of A2 and A4 were grown by slow evaporation technique using its solution with 1:1 pet ether (60–80?°C)/ethyl acetate solvent mixture at room temperature. Their SC-XRD studies disclose that the crystals are in the triclinic system with space group P-1. Further, DFT studies were performed using Turbomole V7.1 software package to evaluate their optimized geometry and HOMO and LUMO levels. Finally, DSSC device fabricated with the dye A1 showed relatively good efficiency when compared to other dyes mainly due to the effective binding of barbituric acid on the surface of TiO2 through NH or OH functional group.

A new array of near-infrared probes containing barbituric acid acceptors has been developed as Aβ imaging agents. These probes displayed long-emission wavelengths and large Stokes shifts, as well as high affinities for Aβ aggregates. In vivo and ex vivo studies demonstrated that BBTOM-3 could intensely label Aβ plaques in the brains of transgenic mice.

A series of thiobarbituric acid derivatives 1-27 were synthesized and evaluated for their urease inhibitory potential. Exciting results were obtained from the screening of these compounds 1-27. Compounds 5, 7, 8, 11, 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24 showed excellent urease inhibition with IC50 values 18.1 ± 0.52, 16.0 ± 0.45, 16.0 ± 0.22, 14.3 ± 0.27, 6.7 ± 0.27, 10.6 ± 0.17, 19.2 ± 0.29, 18.2 ± 0.76 and 1.61 ± 0.18 μM, respectively, much better than the standard urease inhibitor thiourea (IC50 = 21 ± 0.11 μM). Compound 3, 4, 10, and 26 exhibited comparable activities to the standard with IC50 values 21.4 ± 1.04 and 21.5 ± 0.61μM, 22.8 ± 0.32, 25.2 ± 0.63, respectively. However the remaining compounds also showed prominent inhibitory potential The structure-activity relationship was established for these compounds. This study identified a novel class of urease inhibitors. The structures of all compounds were confirmed through spectroscopic techniques such as EI-MS and 1H NMR.

In this study, synthesis of 5-benzylidene thiobarbituric acid derivative has been described. The route of preparation involved the uses of thiobarbituric acid as starting material and treated with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde compound to give required derivative. This compound was identified by spectroscopic methods; H NMR, FTIR and CHNS analysis and also by measuring its melting point. A theoretical investigation is performed using hybrid Beck model (B3LYP), ESP showed regular distribution of charge density of whole molecule when one of the two proton is removed from ?-carbon, the ESP for HOMO electron density is heavily localized on α negative carbon, reflect the reactivity of thiobarbituric molecule and show it as highly effective nucleophile when act into nucleophilic substitution reactions.

A large amount of evidence suggests that monocytes/macrophages infiltration is implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases including acute liver injury. Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) plays a crucial role in the process of macrophages recruitment. We herein presented a small-molecule library and a feasible quick screening method of evaluating potency of inhibition of chemotaxis of RAW264.7 cells stimulated by MCP-1. Fifty-three small molecules were synthesized and screened, and four compounds (2g, 2h, 4f, and 6h) showed inhibitory effects with IC50 values range from 0.72 to 20.47 μM, with compound 4f being the most efficient. Further in vivo studies demonstrated that oral administration of 2g, 2h, 4f, or 6h decreases, most significantly for 4f, the serum levels of alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) and asparate aminotransaminase (AST) in ConA-induced acute livery injury BALB/c mice. Histopathological evaluation liver sections confirmed 4f as a potent, orally active compound for hepatoprotective effects against ConA-induced acute liver injury in BALB/c mice.
