Favourable physicochemical properties of an organometallic ferrocene and antiplasmodial potency of compounds containing the thiazolidine-2,4-dione framework (TZD-4) prompted us to explore compounds containing both the thiazolidine-2,4-dione core and the ferrocenyl unit with the primary aim of identifying compounds with promising antiprotozoal activities. Thus, a new series of rationally designed ferrocene-based thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives, containing a selection of secondary cyclic amines, was synthesised and fully characterised using standard spectroscopic techniques. The resulting compounds were screened for their antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities against both the chloroquine-resistant (Dd2) strain of Plasmodium falciparum and the Nagana Trypanosoma brucei brucei 427. The general trend that emerged indicated that the target compounds were more selective towards T. b. brucei compared to the P. falciparum parasite. Moreover, the analogues bearing methylpiperazine (8a) and piperidine (8b) rings were more active against T. b. brucei compared to hit compound TZD-4. Except compound 8b, which appeared promising, none of the synthesised compounds showed better activity than TZD-4 against the P. falciparum parasite. All the synthesised compounds were non-toxic and often showed >90% viability of the HeLa cell line screened.

Chemical manipulation studies were conducted on betulinic acid (1), twenty-one new rationally designed analogues of 1 with modifications at C-28 were synthesized for their evaluation of inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and LPS-stimulated nitric oxide production in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Compound 2 (IC50 = 5.4 μM) exhibited an almost 1.4-fold increase in α-glucosidase inhibitory activity on yeast α-glucosidase while analogues 5 (IC50 16.4 μM) and 11 (IC50 16.6 μM) exhibited a 2-fold enhanced inhibitory activity on NO-production than betulinic acid.

Among the known non-benzodiazepine hypnotic drugs, Zolpidem (1a), Indiplon (2a) and Zaleplon (2b) have shown high affinity and selectivity for the α1 subunit of the GABA-A receptor. Our group has performed pharmacophoric and ADMET-prediction studies to evaluate a virtual library of new molecules based on privileged structures. Among these, we have synthesized a library of N-substituted indoles and a library of N-substituted benzimidazoles. Afterwards, in vitro screening and in vivo spontaneous motor activity in mice has revealed molecules with good in vitro affinities for the α1 receptor and potent in vivo induction of sedation.
