One of the therapeutic approaches in the management of type 2 diabetes is delaying the glucose absorption through α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition, which can reduce the occurrence of postprandial hyperglycemia. Based on this thought, a series of novel chloro-substituted 2-(2-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-2-oxo-N-(pyridin-3-yl) acetamide derivatives 5a–i were synthesized and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were evaluated. All the synthesized compounds have shown moderate to excellent in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values in the range of 111–673?μM) as compared to acarbose, the standard drug (750 ± 9?μM). Compound 5e (111 ± 12?μM), among the series, was the most potent inhibitor of α-glucosidase in a competitive mode of action based on the kinetic study. The molecular docking study of compounds 5e and 5a revealed that they have a lower free binding energy (? 4.27?kcal/mol and ? 3.17?kcal/mol, respectively) than acarbose (? 2.47?kcal/mol), which indicates that the target compound binds more easily to the enzyme than acarbose does. The outcomes from the molecular docking studies supported the results obtained from the in vitro assay. In conclusion, the overall results of our study reveal that the synthesized compounds could be a potential candidate in the search for novel α-glucosidase inhibitors to manage postprandial hyperglycemia incidence.

Background: Cancer is an important cause of human death worldwide. During the last decades, many anticancer agents with anti-tubulin mechanism have been synthesized or extracted from nature and some of them also entered clinical use. Indibulin is one of the most potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors with minimal peripheral neuropathy, which is a big problem by some of the antimitotic agents such as taxanes and vinka alkaloids. With respect to this giant benefit, herein we decided to design and synthesize novel indibulin related compounds and investigate their anticancer activity against HT-29, Caco-2 and T47-D cancerous cell lines as well as NIH-T3T as normal cell line. Objective: The aim of this study was to synthesize new anti-cancer agents and evaluates their cytotoxic activity on diverse cancerous and normal cell lines. Method: Target compounds were synthesized in multistep reaction and cytotoxic activity was investigated by MTT cell viability assay. Results: Herein, nine novel target compounds were synthesized in moderate to good yield. Some of the compounds exerted good cytotoxic activity against cancerous cell lines. Annexin V/PI staining showed that compound 4g could induce apoptosis and necrosis in HT-29 cell line. Conclusion: It is valuable to do further investigation on compound 4g which showed the highest activity against HT-29 and Caco-2 (IC50 values are 6.9 and 7 μM respectively). Also, synthesis of new derivatives of current synthesized compounds is suggested.

The synthesis and anti-Candida activity of some 3-aminomethyl-1,5-diaryl-2-methyl-pyrrole derivatives are reported. Some derivatives show a rather strong anti-Candida activity. On the basis of experimental results, microbiological activity of 1,5-diarylpy
