The study focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of a series of new acrylamide derivatives containing 1,2,3-thiadiazole for their potential antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. These compounds were designed based on the structure of known anti-HBV agents and synthesized through various chemical reactions. The in vitro anti-HBV activities were assessed by measuring the inhibition of HBV DNA replication, secretion of HBeAg, and HBsAg in 2.2.15 cells. The results showed that several compounds, particularly 9c, demonstrated higher inhibitory activity against HBV DNA replication compared to the positive control lamivudine. Additionally, compound 9d exhibited significant activity against the secretion of HBeAg. The study concludes that these acrylamide derivatives containing 1,2,3-thiadiazole could serve as promising candidates for the development of new anti-HBV drugs.

The research focuses on the optimization of the reductive debenzylation of hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (HBIW), a key step in the synthesis of high energy density material HNIW (CL-20). The study employs palladium hydroxide on activated carbon as a catalyst, characterized using techniques like nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm, hydrogen isotherm, SEM, and TEM. A central composite design (CCD) was utilized to optimize reaction conditions, examining the impact of four variables: catalyst to HBIW percent, reaction temperature, hydrogen pressure, and acetic anhydride (Ac2O) mole ratio on reaction yield. The optimal conditions were determined to be 20% (w/w) catalyst to HBIW, 48.5°C reaction temperature, 4.25 bar hydrogen pressure, and an Ac2O/HBIW mole ratio of 10.9, resulting in a 73% yield. The experiments involved the use of HBIW, DMF, acetic anhydride, and bromobenzene, with the synthesized product TADB characterized by melting point and TLC. The catalyst was analyzed for surface area, pore size distribution, active surface area, and palladium distribution using the aforementioned techniques.

The study presents a chemical method for converting folic acid to pteroic acid, a valuable intermediate for synthesizing folic acid analogues and derivatives. The process involves treating folic acid with acetic anhydride to form a mixture of acetylated azlactones, which are then cleaved with mild base to yield mainly acetylated pteroic acids. Further treatment with hot base removes the acetyl groups, resulting in pteroic acid with a yield of 55-60% contaminated with folic acid. The study also discusses various side reactions and byproducts, including the formation of a pyrazine derivative from the hydrolysis of the glutamic acid moiety and the opening of the pyrimidine ring. The authors detail the experimental procedures, including HPLC analysis, UV absorption spectra, mass spectrometry, and proton NMR spectra, and provide a method for separating folic and pteroic acids using column chromatography. The research was supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health.
