Fingerprint development is one of the most useful techniques in forensic investigation. The powder method is widely used, as it consists of a non-destructive testing. However, some of the powders commonly used are toxic and dangerous to human health. In this sense, monofunctional analogues of curcumin (3a–e) are proposed as novel coloring powders for the development of latent fingerprints. Granulometric and scanning electron microscopy analysis were performed for a better understanding of the interaction between developers and substrates. The best results for the development of fingerprints were obtained with compound (1E,4E)-1,5-di-p-tolylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one (3b). Development with this compound was specific and allowed detection both from male and female donors. Also, in an in vitro experiment, compound 3b presented low cytotoxicity in a mammalian cell line. Based on that, a novel alternative for latent fingerprint developers was proposed.

Ionic Liquids (ILs) self-assemble to form supramolecular polymeric clusters/aggregates. The aggregation behavior of ILs influences its activity in the organic synthesis. However, the precise role of ILs in organic reactions is still unknown. It is, therefore, important to comprehend the supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior of ILs. We are exploring the supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior of ILs using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). We have synthesized four hydrophilic ILs (1–4) and investigated their aggregation behavior and its impact on catalytic activity in Carbon-Carbon bond formation (Knoevenagel and Claisen-Schmidt condensation). Here, we show that the aggregation behavior of ILs depends on the type and nature of cation and anion. ESI-MS (?ve) spectra reveals two different type of aggregation i.e. [CnAn+1]? & [A2 + H+]?. We have found that catalytic activity increases with increased [CnAn+1]? supramolecular aggregation. Consequently, highest yield of products obtained in ILs which show decreased anion-anion aggregation [A2 + H+]? abundance in ESI-MS. We anticipate our results to be a starting point for the establishment of desired ILs for organic synthesis.

A series of tetracyclic oxindole derivatives was synthesized by asymmetric 1, 3-dipole reaction in 2–4 steps in 57–86% overall yields. These compounds were evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory and glucose consumption-promoting activity in vitro. Compound 4l competitively and reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase (IC50 = 3.64 μM) with activity 14-fold higher than that of acarbose. Docking analysis substantiated these findings. In addition, compound 4l exhibited significant glucose consumption promoting activity at 1 μM.

The first general synthesis of compounds of the tetravinylethylene (TVE) family is reported. Ramirez-type dibromo-olefination of readily accessible penta-1,4-dien-3-ones generates 3,3-dibromo[3]dendralenes, which undergo twofold Negishi, Suzuki–Miyaura or Mizoroki–Heck reactions with a wide variety of olefinic coupling partners. This route delivers a broad range of unsymmetrically substituted tetravinylethylenes with up to three different alkenyl substituents attached to the central C=C bond. The extensive scope of the approach is demonstrated by the preparation of the first higher order oligo-alkenic through-conjugated/cross-conjugated hybrid compounds. An unsymmetrically substituted TVE is shown to undergo a domino electrocyclization–cycloaddition with high site-selectivity and diastereoselectivity, thereby demonstrating the substantial synthetic potential of substituted TVEs for controlled, rapid structural complexity generation.

Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and it is considered to be the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection in the world. Since the 1960s, nitroimidazoles such as metronidazole are the drugs of choice for the treatment of trichomoniasis, but many adverse effects and allergic reactions may result from their use. Reports of metronidazole-resistant infections also highlight the importance for the search of new anti-T. vaginalis agents. Considering this, herein we report the anti-T. vaginalis evaluation of 21 synthetic monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin, which itself has been reported to possess antiparasitic potential. From the in vitro analysis of the synthetic molecules, untreated trophozoites, and metronidazole at 100 μM, it was observed that three curcumin analogues (3a, 3e, and 5e) exhibited anti-T. vaginalis activity comparable to metronidazole (no significant statistical difference). Optimal antiparasitic concentrations were determined to be 80 μM and 90 μM for propanone derivatives 3a and 3e, respectively, and 200 μM for cyclohexanone derivative 5e. Kinetic growth curves showed that, after 24 h, the trophozoites were completely inhibited. At the tested concentrations, natural curcumin did not significantly inhibit the growth of trophozoites, therefore demonstrating that the designed synthetic molecules not only have better chemical stability, but also higher anti-T. vaginalis potential. Cytotoxicity analysis, performed on VERO cells, demonstrated low, moderate and high cytotoxic effects for analogues 3e, 5e and 3a, respectively. This study suggests that these analogues possess chemical features of interest to be further explored as alternatives for the treatment of trichomoniasis.

Twenty-three monoketone derivatives of curcumin were synthesized to investigate the synergy with fluconazole against fluconazole-resistant Candida spp. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC80) and the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of the antifungal synergist fluconazole were measured against fluconazole-resistant C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. krusei in vitro. Most of these compounds showed good synergistic activities against C. tropicalis. Among them, compound 9 exhibited significant synergistic activities against Candida spp. SARs were also discussed. In particular, a cell growth test exhibited that a combination of 1 μg ml-1 fluconazole and 64 μg ml-1 or 128 μg ml-1 compound 9 showed the most potent fungicidal effect against C. tropicalis. The synergistic effect may be associated with the changes of the intracellular ATP content and cell membrane permeability. Our results provided a basis for future evaluation and development of these compounds as leads for therapeutics for fluconazole-resistant candidiasis.
