Six novel AECs of [Sr(o-CPA)2(H2O)4]·(o-CPA) 1, [Ba(o-CPA)2(H2O)]·H2O 2, [Sr(m-CPA)2(H2O)4]·(m-CPA) 3, [Ba(m-CPA)2(H2O)4]2·2(m-CPA)·H2O 4, [Sr(p-CPA)2(H2O)] 5 and [Ba(p-CPA)2(H2O)] 6 (o-CPA = 2-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, m-CPA = 3-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and p-CPA = 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) were synthesized by a facile microwave-assistant reaction. The solid-state structures were well established by X-ray crystallography and routine analyses of Fourier transform infrared, elemental analysis, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and thermogravimetric analysis. The structure data reveal that complexes of 1, 3 and 4 are one-dimensional chains with a zigzag arrangement, while 2, 5 and 6 are (4, 4) rhomboid two-dimensional grid structures. It is noticed that the carboxyl group in these complexes displays multiple coordination modes of μ2-η1:η1 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6), μ3-η1:η2 (1, 2, 3 and 4), μ2-η1:η2 (2), μ3-η2:η2 (5 and 6). Interestingly, the oxygen atoms of flexible -OCH2- in phenoxy groups take part in coordination behavior with metal centers through the rotation of the C-O and C-C bonds in complexes 2, 5 and 6, while only carboxyl group coordination can be found in complexes 1, 3 and 4. FESEM images indicate that the surface appearances of complexes are totally different from ligands after coordination. All ligands and complexes were evaluated for activity as plant-growth inhibitors against Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) and barnyard grass. Compared with ligands, complexes 1, 3 and 4 exhibited better response index (RI) values of Shoot elongation against barnyard grass. Moreover, complexes 1, 3 and 4 demonstrated a higher inhibitory activity than 2, 5 and 6. It is significant to develop a new kind of environmentally-friendly herbicide based on these kinds of complexes for their low toxicity and high efficiency.

The kinetics of hydrolysis of meclofenoxate hydrochloride (MF-HCl) in commercial tablets were studied in comparison with those of the pure solid. MF-HCl in tablets was found to be decomposed by water vapor in the same way as the pure solid. At a humidity above the critical relative humidity (CRH) of the system, the degradation ratio, x could be correlated to time by the equation: x = kt(n) where k and n are parameters. At humidities below the CRH, on the other hand, the degradation did not conform to this equation because of the fast decomposition at the initial stage. The stability of several commercial MF-HCl tablets was studied, and some excipients such as magnesium carbonate were found to reduce the stability of the drug.

Mesoporous silica core-shell nanospheres encapsulating a rare-earth metal complex (RC) were first synthesised through a facile W/O (water in oil) inverse microemulsion method. In order to achieve targeted complex delivery, folic acid (FA) was used as the targeting component due to its high affinity for over-expressed folate receptors (FRs) in cancer cells. The RC2@SiO2-FA nanospheres were characterised via ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis spectroscopy), dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A microwave method was used to synthesise five RC cores based on 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, and their crystal structures were further confirmed using X-ray diffraction. The five RC cores have the following chemical formulae: [Er2(p-CPA)6(H2O)6] RC1, [Ho2(p-CPA)6(H2O)6] RC2, [Sm(p-CPA)3(H2O)] RC3, [Pr(p-CPA)3(H2O)]·3H2O RC4 and [Ce(p-CPA)3(H2O)2]·2H2O RC5. The carboxyl groups showed two kinds of coordination modes, namely μ2-η1:η1 and μ2-η1:η2, among RC1-RC5. The flexible -OCH2COO- spacer group, which can undergo rotation of its C-O and C-C bonds, offered great potential for structural diversity. In vivo experiments revealed that the nanospheres exhibited no obvious cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells and 293 T cells, even at concentrations of up to 80 μg mL-1. Nevertheless, all of the RC cores showed a certain degree of anti-tumour efficacy; in particular, RC2 showed the strongest cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells. Interestingly, the cytotoxicity of all of the RC2@SiO2-FA nanospheres was higher than that of lone RC2. These types of FA-targeted mesoporous silica nanocarriers can be used for the delivery of anti-tumour RC, and provide a basis for the further study of affordable non-platinum-based complexes.

Inflammation is the complex biological response of vascular tissues, which is partly determined by prostaglandins (PLA2). The cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme exists in two isoforms: COX-1 and COX-2 and by the action of this, the PGs are produced. Besides, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of inflammation. Encouraged by this, the new derivatives of N'(2-phenoxyacetyl)nicotinohydrazide 9(a-e) and N'(2-phenoxyacetyl)isonicotinohydrazide 10(a-e) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and identified as remarkable anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. These compounds were prepared in a series of steps starting with different phenol derivatives. Among the series, compound (10e) showed the highest IC50 value for COX-1 inhibition, whereas compounds (9e) and (10e) exhibited the highest COX-2SI. Further, molecular Docking Studies have been performed for the potent compound to check the three-dimensional geometrical view of the ligand binding to the targeted enzymes.

Background: Hypoxic microenvironment is a common feature of solid tumors, which leads to the promotion of cancer. The transcription factor, HIF-1α, expressed under hypoxic conditions stimulates tumor angiogenesis, favoring HIF-1α as a promising anticancer agent. On the other hand, synthetic Indolephenoxyacetamide derivatives are known for their pharmacological potentiality. With this background here, we have synthesized, characterized, and validated the new IPA (8a–n) analogs for anti-tumor activity. Methods: The new series of IPA (8a–n) were synthesized through a multi-step reaction sequence and characterized based on the different spectroscopic analysis FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR, mass spectra, and elemental analyses. Cell-based screening of IPA (8a–n) was assessed by MTT assay. Anti-angiogenic efficacy of IPA (8k) validated through CAM, Rat corneal, tube formation and migration assay. The underlying molecular mechanism is validated through zymogram and IB studies. The in vivo anti-tumor activity was measured in the DLA solid tumor model. Results: Screening for anti-proliferative studies inferred, IPA (8k) is a lead molecule with an IC50 value of ?5?μM. Anti-angiogenic assays revealed the angiopreventive activity through inhibition of HIF-1α and modulation downstream regulatory genes, VEGF, MMPs, and P53. The results are confirmative in an in vivo solid tumor model. Conclusion: The IPA (8k) is a potent anti-proliferative molecule with anti-angiogenic activity and specifically targets HIF1α, thereby modulates its downstream regulatory genes both in vitro and in vivo. The study provides scope for new target-specific drug development against HIF-1α for the treatment of solid tumors. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

The present study describes the discovery and characterization of a series of N-(1-(1,1-dioxidotetrahydrothiophen-3-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetamide ethers as G protein-gated inwardly-rectifying potassium (GIRK) channel activators. From our previous lead optimization efforts, we have identified a new ether-based scaffold and paired this with a novel sulfone-based head group to identify a potent and selective GIRK1/2 activator. In addition, we evaluated the compounds in tier 1 DMPK assays and have identified compounds that display nanomolar potency as GIRK1/2 activators with improved metabolic stability over the prototypical urea-based compounds.

A series of substituted phenyl ethers derivatives as juvenile hormone (JH) mimics (V1-V8) have been synthesized. Substituted phenoxyacetic acid and amino acid ethyl ester hydrochloride were prepared using NaOH, SOCl2. DCC method has been used for amide linkage. The structure of prepared compounds has been confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR), Electrospray ionization-Mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), Proton and Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) spectroscopic techniques. Biological efficacy of synthesized analogs has been carried out under laboratory conditions. Galleria mellonella (honey bee pest) has been chosen as testing insect. Juvenile hormone (JH) activity of synthesized compounds has been tested at different concentrations and compared with the standard juvenile hormone analogs (JHAs) pyriproxyfen (M1) and fenoxycarb (M2) against the fifth larval instar of G. mellonella. Compound ethyl 2-[2-(4-methylphenoxy)aminoacetyl]-3-phenyl-propanoate (V6) exhibited better activity among all the synthesized compounds (V1-V8) with LC50 and LC90 values of 0.11 mg/mL and 0.56 mg/mL respectively. Compounds showed insect growth regulating (IGR) activity at lower concentrations. In silico screening of all synthesized compounds with the W-cavity of juvenile hormone-binding protein (JHBP) of insect G. mellonella has been carried out. Chemical reactivity of synthesized series has been studied using DFT/B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,2p) method. Non-toxic behavior of molecules has also been observed from ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) study using discovery studio client 3.0. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

A series of aryloxyacetic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized as 4-hydoxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors. Preliminary bioassay results reveal that these derivatives are promising Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) inhibitors, in particular compounds I12 (Ki = 0.011 μM) and I23 (Ki = 0.012 μM), which exhibit similar activities to that of mesotrione, a commercial HPPD herbicide (Ki = 0.013 μM). Furthermore, the newly synthesized compounds show significant greenhouse herbicidal activities against tested weeds at dosages of 150 g ai/ha. In particular, II4 exhibited high herbicidal activity for pre-emergence treatment that was slightly better than that of mesotrione. In addition, compound II4 was safe for weed control in maize fields at a rate of 150 g ai/ha, and was identified as the most potent candidate for a novel HPPD inhibitor herbicide. The compounds described herein may provide useful guidance for the design of new HPPD inhibiting herbicides and their modification.

We report the cerium photocatalyzed radical decarboxylative hydrazination of carboxylic acids with di-tert-butylazodicarboxylate (DBAD). The operationally simple protocol provides rapid access to synthetically useful hydrazine derivatives and overcomes current scope limitations in the photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylation of carboxylic acids.

In order to develop a novel herbicide containing the β-triketone motif, a series of 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results showed that compound II15 had good pre-emergent herbicidal activity even at a dosage of 187.5 g ha-1. Moreover, compound II15 showed a broader spectrum of weed control when compared with a commercial herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and displayed good crop safety to Triticum aestivum L. and Zea mays Linn. when applied at 375 g ha-1 under pre-emergence conditions, which indicated its great potential as a herbicide. More importantly, studying the molecular mode of action of compound II15 revealed that the novel triketone structure is a proherbicide of its corresponding phenoxyacetic acid auxin herbicide, which has a herbicidal mechanism similar to that of 2,4-D. The present work indicates that the 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one motif may be a potential lead structure for further development of novel auxin-type herbicides.
