A series of bis-(arylmethylidene)-cycloalkanones was synthesized by cross-aldol condensation. The activity of the compounds was evaluated against amastigotes forms of Trypanosoma cruzi and promastigotes forms of Leishmania amazonensis. The cytotoxicity of the active compounds on uninfected fibroblasts or macrophages was established in vitro to evaluate the selectivity of their antiparasitic effects. Six compounds displayed trypanocidal activity against amastigotes intracellular forms of T. cruzi with IC50 values ranging from 7.0 to 249 μM. Besides these six compounds, eight other molecules exhibited significant leishmanicidal activity (IC50 values ranging from 0.6 to 110.4 μM). Two compounds can be considered as promising antiparasitic lead molecules because they showed IC50 values in the low-micromolar range (≤1.2 μM) with an adequate SI (≥19.9). To understand the mechanism of action of these compounds, two possible molecular targets were investigated: trypanothione reductase (TR) and cruzain.

A new, green, and highly efficient protocol for the expeditious preparation of some α,α′-bis[(aryl or allyl)idene]cycloalkanones and 2-[(aryl or allyl)idene]-1-indanones via a simple microwave-assisted Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction catalyzed by MoCl5 was successfully developed. Outstanding features of the current methodology include the use of solvent-free conditions, simple operation, use of a very inexpensive and available catalyst, low catalyst loading, short reaction times, high yields of the pure products, no harmful by-products, easy workup, and also the applicability of microwave irradiation as a clean source of energy. Furthermore, a gram-scale reaction was successfully conducted, proving the scalability of this current Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction.

Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and it is considered to be the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection in the world. Since the 1960s, nitroimidazoles such as metronidazole are the drugs of choice for the treatment of trichomoniasis, but many adverse effects and allergic reactions may result from their use. Reports of metronidazole-resistant infections also highlight the importance for the search of new anti-T. vaginalis agents. Considering this, herein we report the anti-T. vaginalis evaluation of 21 synthetic monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin, which itself has been reported to possess antiparasitic potential. From the in vitro analysis of the synthetic molecules, untreated trophozoites, and metronidazole at 100 μM, it was observed that three curcumin analogues (3a, 3e, and 5e) exhibited anti-T. vaginalis activity comparable to metronidazole (no significant statistical difference). Optimal antiparasitic concentrations were determined to be 80 μM and 90 μM for propanone derivatives 3a and 3e, respectively, and 200 μM for cyclohexanone derivative 5e. Kinetic growth curves showed that, after 24 h, the trophozoites were completely inhibited. At the tested concentrations, natural curcumin did not significantly inhibit the growth of trophozoites, therefore demonstrating that the designed synthetic molecules not only have better chemical stability, but also higher anti-T. vaginalis potential. Cytotoxicity analysis, performed on VERO cells, demonstrated low, moderate and high cytotoxic effects for analogues 3e, 5e and 3a, respectively. This study suggests that these analogues possess chemical features of interest to be further explored as alternatives for the treatment of trichomoniasis.

Aldol and cross-aldol condensations of aromatic aldehydes with various ketones in the presence of nanometasilica disulfuric acid (NMSDSA) as heterogeneous catalyst are presented. The catalyst was prepared according to the developed earlier method using inexpensive and readily available starting materials. The highly active catalyst gave excellent yields of the desired aldol products without self-condensation reaction taking place. Reaction times were short, the procedure and work-up were simple, and no volatile or hazardous organic solvents were involved. The catalyst could be recovered three times with only slight reduction in activity.

(Montmorillonite/PEG)-SO3H nanocomposite was successfully prepared for the first time and introduced as a solid acid nanocatalyst. Initially, polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymeric chains were intercalated into interlayer spaces of montmorillonite. The resulting Mt/PEG nanocomposite with good mechanical and thermal stability was chosen as a useful clay mineral/polymer support for further modification with chlorosulfonic acid. Structural characterization of (Mt/PEG)-SO3H was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurements, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that PEG chains were intercalated into the clay mineral layers and that the Mt/PEG nanocomposite was successfully sulfonated. (Mt/PEG)-SO3H nanocomposite exhibited high specific surface area and good stability up to around 150?°C, showing excellent potential for application as a recyclable nanocatalyst. (Mt/PEG)-SO3H was used as an efficient and ecofriendly solid acid nanocatalyst for preparation of α,α′-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions, leading to many interesting findings. The excellent conversion values confirm that the catalyst has strong and sufficient acidic sites, which are responsible for its catalytic performance. The reaction under mild conditions (room temperature) with excellent yield, catalyst recyclability (up to ten times), and simple work-up procedure represent useful advantages of (Mt/PEG)-SO3H for catalysis. Moreover, the reaction could be scaled up to 10 and 15?mmol scales.

Nanomagnetic-supported sulfonic acid is found to be a powerful and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the rapid synthesis of α,α′-bis-(substituted-benzylidene)cycloalkanones under conventional heating and solvent free conditions. High yield, simple work up and easy recovery of the catalyst are the most obvious advantages of this procedure. In this paper, an efficient, sustainable and green procedure for synthesis of α,′α-bis-(substituted-benzylidene) cycloalkanones has been developed using a magnetically separable and easily recyclable nano-γ-Fe2O3-SO3H catalyst in solvent free medium under thermal condition. Easy magnetic separation of the catalyst eliminates the requirement of catalyst filtration after completion of the reaction which is an additional greener attribute of this method.

An ultrasound-assisted aldol condensation reaction has been developed for a range of ketones with a variety of aromatic aldehydes using poly(N-vinylimidazole) as a solid base catalyst in a liquid-solid system. The catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and reused at least 10 times without any significant reduction in its activity. The reaction is also amenable to the large scale, making the procedure potentially useful for industrial applications.
