Polyfluorinated salicylic acid derivatives as analogs of known drugs: Synthesis, molecular docking and biological evaluation

We have developed the convenient methods for synthesis of polyfluorosalicylic acids and their derivatives. For the first time the biological properties of polyfluorosalicylates were investigated in vitro (permeability through the biological membranes, COX-1 inhibitory action) and in vivo (anti-inflammatory, analgesic activities, acute toxicity). Molecular docking of polyfluorinated salicylates confirmed in vitro and in vivo experiments.

A convenient and efficient approach to polyfluorosalicylic acids and their tuberculostatic activity

We have developed the practical method for polyfluorosalicylic acids synthesis via nucleophilic ortho-mono-substitution of fluorine atom with magnesium methoxide. We have managed to increase the yield of targeted polyfluorosalicylic acids from good to quantitative. We have studied the tuberculostatic activity of polyfluorosalicylic acids. It has been found that minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of compounds is from 0.7 to 6.5 μg/mL depending on the structure.
