Infections caused due to multidrug resistant organisms have emerged as a constant menace to human health. Even though numerous antibiotics are currently available for treating infectious diseases, a great number of bacterial strains have acquired resistance to many of them. Among these, infections caused due to Staphylococcus aureus are predominant in adult and paediatric population. Indole is a prominent chemical scaffold found in many pharmacologically active natural products and synthetic drugs. A number of oxime ether containing compounds have attracted attention of researchers owing to their interesting biological properties. Current work details the synthesis of indole containing oxime ether derivatives and their evaluation for antimicrobial activity against a panel of bacterial and mycobacterial strains. Synthesized compounds demonstrated good to moderate activity against drug-resistant S. aureus including resistant to vancomycin. Among all, compound 5h was found to possess potent activity against susceptible as well as MRSA and VRSA strains of S. aureus with MIC of 1 μg/mL and 2–4 μg/mL respectively. In addition, compound 5h was found to be non-toxic to Vero cells and exhibited good selectivity index of >40. Further, 5h, E-9a and E-9b possessed good biofilm inhibition against S. aureus. With these assuring biological properties, synthesized compounds could be potential prospective antimicrobial agents.

Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin, is a natural product, which is widely found in plants and animals. To discover novel natural-product-based herbicides, a series of N-(arylmethoxy)-2-chloronicotinamides were designed and synthesized. Some of the new N-(arylmethoxy)-2-chloronicotinamides exhibited excellent herbicidal activity against Agrostis stolonifera (bentgrass) at 100 μM. Compound 5f (2-chloro-N-((3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxy)nicotinamide) possessed excellent herbicidal activity against Lemna paucicostata (duckweed), with an IC50 value of 7.8 μM, whereas the commercial herbicides clomazone and propanil had values of 125 and 2 μM, respectively. The structure-activity relationships reported in this paper could be used for the development of new herbicides against monocotyledonous weeds.

Paragraph 0016; 0035-0036, (2021/06/23)
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis and medicine application, and particularly relates to preparation and application of an N-(benzyloxy)-2-chloronicotinamide compound. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting phthalic anhydride with hydroxylamine, then reacting with triethylamine for acidification to prepare N-hydroxyphthalimide, then carrying out substitution and hydrazinolysis, and finally reacting with dichloronicotinoyl chloride to prepare the N-(benzyloxy)-2-chloronicotinamide compound. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple and convenient to operate, the structure of the obtained product is confirmed by a nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectrum, herbicidal activity tests are carried out on the obtained 15 target products, and results show that all target compounds have an obvious inhibition effect on the seeds of the Agrostis matsumurae under the concentration of 1mM, and the inhibition effect reaches 100%; and along with the decrease of the concentration, even if the concentration reaches 100 [mu] M, the target compound can still show good herbicidal activity.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections, and other diseases characterized by pathological immune suppression. Recently important advances have been made in understanding IDO1's catalytic mechanism. Although much remains to be discovered, there is strong evidence that the mechanism proceeds through a heme-iron bound alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. Accordingly, we explored stable structural mimics of the alkylperoxy species and provide evidence that such structures do mimic the alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. We discovered that O-benzylhydroxylamine, a commercially available compound, is a potent sub-micromolar inhibitor of IDO1. Structure-activity studies of over forty derivatives of O-benzylhydroxylamine led to further improvement in inhibitor potency, particularly with the addition of halogen atoms to the meta position of the aromatic ring. The most potent derivatives and the lead, O-benzylhydroxylamine, have high ligand efficiency values, which are considered an important criterion for successful drug development. Notably, two of the most potent compounds demonstrated nanomolar-level cell-based potency and limited toxicity. The combination of the simplicity of the structures of these compounds and their excellent cellular activity makes them quite attractive for biological exploration of IDO1 function and antitumor therapeutic applications.

A Pd-catalyzed ortho-acetoxylation of masked benzyl alcohols to synthesize various 2-hydroxyalkylphenol derivatives is reported. The 2,6-dimethoxyl benzaldoxime proved to be an efficient exo-type directing group for arene (sp2) C-H functionalization. Two strategies were demonstrated to remove the directing group through N-O and C-O bond cleavages. A high catalyst turnover (>1000) was obtained to illustrate the practicality of this method.

experimental part, p. 1463 - 1472 (2011/05/04)
A series of novel analogs of pyrrole alkaloid were designed and synthesized by a facile method and their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The structure of compound 2a was identified by 2D NMR including heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) and H-H correlation spectrometry (H-H COSY) spectra. Their antifungal activities against five fungi were evaluated, and the results indicated that some of the title compounds showed moderate fungicidal activities in vitro against Alternaria solani, Cercospora arachidicola, Fusarium omysporum, Gibberella zeae and Physalospora piricola at the dosage of 50 μg mL -1. Compound 2a and 3a exhibited good activities against P. piricola at low dosage.
