In this article, a novel series of (E)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid (TMCA) amide derivatives 1-18 were designed and synthesized by a facile and one-pot step, which were achieved with good yields using 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) and 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) as activation system. All the synthesized derivatives were biologically evaluated for their anticonvulsant, sedative activity and neurotoxicity using the maximal electroshock (MES) model, sc-pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) model, pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping model, and locomotor activity tests, respectively. Among them, compounds 4, 9 and 16 exhibited good anticonvulsant activity in primary evaluation. Furthermore, compound 4 is the most effective anticonvulsant and sedative agent in subsequent tests, while the low threshold of toxicity of compound 4 is vigilant. Compounds 9 and 16 also performed significantly anticonvulsant activity in subsequent tests with weak toxicity. The molecular modeling experiments also predicted good binding interactions of the obtained active molecules with the GABA transferas. Therefore, it could be concluded that the synthesized derivatives 4, 9 and 16 would represent useful lead compounds for further investigation in the development of anticonvulsant and sedative agents.

Amides are important natural products which occur in a few plant families. Piplartine and piperine, major amides in Piper tuberculatum and P. nigrum, respectively, have shown a typical N-CO cleavage when analyzed by EI-MS or HRESI-MS. In this study several synthetic analogs of piplartine and piperine were subjected to both types of mass spectrometric analysis in order to identify structural features influencing fragmentation. Most of the amides showed an intense signal of the protonated molecule [M + H]+ when subjected to both HRESI-MS and EI-MS conditions, with a common outcome being the cleavage of the amide bond (N-CO). This results in the loss of the neutral amine or lactam and the formation of aryl acylium cations. The mechanism of N-CO bond cleavage persists in α,β-unsaturated amides because of the stability caused by extended conjugation. Computational methods determined that the protonation of the piperamides and their derivatives takes place preferentially at the amide nitrogen supporting the dominant the N-CO bond cleavage.

In this work it is described the synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial and toxicity evaluation of a series of analogs of piplartine, a piperamide found in Piper sp. The compounds structures were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, high resolution mass spectroscopy and were evaluated against strains of Candida spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Derivative 24 was almost four-fold more potent (IC50: 48.83 μM) and five-fold less toxic (SI > 3) than piplartine (IC50: 189.2 μM; SI: 0.21) against Candida krusei, as well as two-fold more potent than fluconazole (IC50: 104.48 μM). This compound was also active against Candida tropicalis at 97.67 μM. Benzoyl derivative 17 was three-fold more potent (IC50: 85.2 μM) and more than five-fold less toxic (CC50: 231.71 μM) than piplartine (IC50: 315.33 μM and CC50: 41.14 μM) against Staphylococcus aureus. Given these findings, we have found analogs of piplartine which can be assumed as prototypes for the optimization and the development of new antimicrobial (compounds 24 and 17) agents.

In an attempt to discover potential antibacterial agents against the increasing bacterial resistance, novel cinnamaldehyde derivatives as FtsZ inhibitors were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against nine significant pathogens using broth microdilution method, and their cell division inhibitory activity against four representative strains. In the in vitro antibacterial activity, the newly synthesized compounds generally displayed better efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 than the others. In particular, compounds 3, 8 and 10 exerted superior or comparable activity to all the reference drugs. In the cell division inhibitory activity, all the compounds showed the same trend as their in vitro antibacterial activity, exhibiting better activity against S. aureus ATCC25923 than the other strains. Additionally, compounds 3, 6, 7 and 8 displayed potent cell division inhibitory activity with an MIC value of below 1 1/4g/mL, over 256-fold better than all the reference drugs.

A simple synthesis and biologic evaluation of trans-3,4,5- trimethoxycinnamamides 10a-e and 11 as novel antinarcotic agents is described. The synthetic key strategies involve condensation reaction and coupling reaction to generate trans-3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamamides 10a-e and 11. They were evaluated for free radical scavenging, inhibitory action for neurotoxicity in cultured neurons, and antinarcotic activity in mice. It was found that compounds 10a, 10d, and 10e displayed significant inhibitory action of the glutamate-induced neurotoxicity and 10a-e and 11 showed high antinarcotic activity in mice.

A series of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives was prepared and evaluated for antinarcotic effects on morphine dependence in mice and binding affinities on serotonergic receptors. The key synthetic strategies involve generation of ketones 6-7, esters 9-12 through condensation reaction, and amides 13-19 via coupling reaction using 1-hydroxybenzotriazole/ethyl(dimethylaminopropryl)carbodiimide system in high yield. We found that the naloxone-induced morphine withdrawal syndrome was significantly suppressed by new synthetic 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives (20mg/kg/day). Most of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives were found to have high affinity to 5-HT1A receptor. The naloxone-induced morphine withdrawal syndrome was attenuated by (+)8-OH-DPAT (0.1mg/kg/day, i.p.), a 5-HT1A receptor agonist. In cortical neuronal cells, (+)8-OH-DPAT (1μm) produced an elevation of the pERK 1/2 expression, and the elevated pERK levels were inhibited by WAY 100635, a 5-HT1A receptor-specific antagonist. Interestingly, the pERK levels were increased by the 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives and the derivatives-mediated changes in pERK levels were blocked by the WAY 100635. These results suggested that new synthetic 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives have a potential antinarcotic effect through acting as a 5-HT1A receptor agonist in mice.

An efficient, functional group tolerable, and environmentally benign process for the synthesis of amides was developed. No activation reagents or scavengers are required in this process. Purification of desired compounds is easy, rapid, and cost-effective. This protocol provides an alternative for the combinatorial liquid-phase synthesis of amide libraries for drug discovery. By this method, a number of amides were prepared and evaluated in vitro against a panel of human tumor cell lines. Cinnamic amide IV-4 was found to be the most potent compound synthesized against four human tumor cell lines.
