Herein, framework combinations of antioxidant substituted cinnamic acids and memantine (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist) in a new multi-targeted chemical entity were described. The amide bond formation of the memantine hybrids 1–5 was performed by EDC/HOBt coupling reaction. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by means of melting points, UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Additionally, the crystal structures of memantine hybrids (2–5) were also studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the compounds 2, 5 crystallize in a centrosymmetric manner both in monoclinic space group (SG) P21/c, (No 14) and in a non-centrosymmetric manner for compounds 3 and 4, SG R3, (No 146) and SG P212121, (No 19), respectively. Furthermore, preliminary in vitro screenings of their neuroprotective and radical scavenging activities were performed. The radical scavenging activity of synthesized memantine hybrids was measured against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH●), hydroxyl (OH●) and superoxide (O2●?) radicals and compared with the standard antioxidants (ferulic and sinapic acids). Radical scavenging activity studies show that amongst the tested hybrids, N-sinapoyl amide of memantine (3) emerges as the most potent antioxidant in all tests. Moreover, in vitro evaluation of anti-Alzheimer effects showed that the obtained memantine hybrids displayed neuroprotection in the moderate levels. Generally, they possess a little weaker activity as compared to the positive control memantine. Taken together, our findings reveal that the N-sinapoylamide of memantine (3) can be considered as a promising neuroprotective agent for Alzheimer's disease, acting as well as a potent radical scavenger.

Cinnamic acid derivatives (CAD's) represent a great alternative in the search for insecticides against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes since they have antimicrobial and insecticide properties. Ae. aegypti is responsible for transmitting Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika viruses, among other arboviruses associated with morbimortality, especially in developing countries. In view of this, in vitro analyses of n-substituted cinnamic acids and esters were performed upon 4th instar larvae (L4) of Ae. aegypti, as well as, molecular docking studies to propose a potential biological target towards this mosquitoes species. The larvicide assays proved that n-substituted ethyl cinnamates showed a more pronounced activity than their corresponding acids, in which p-chlorocinnamate (3j) presented a LC50 value of 8.3 μg/mL. Thusly, external morphologic alterations (rigid and elongated body, curved bowel, and translucent or darkened anal papillae) of mosquitoes’ group exposed to compound 3j, were observed by microscopy. In addition, an analytical method was developed for the quantification of the most promising analog by using high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Molecular docking studies suggested that the larvicide action is associated with inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. Therefore, expanding the larvicidal study with the cinnamic acid derivatives against the vector Ae. aegypti is important for finding search for more effective larvicides and with lower toxicity, since they have already shown good larvicidal properties against Ae. aegypti.

Cinnamic anhydrides have been shown to be more than reactive reagents, but they also act as inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterease (AChE). Thus, out of a set of 33 synthesised derivatives, several of them were mixed type inhibitors for AChE (from electric eel). Thus, (E)-3-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic anhydride (2c) showed Ki = 8.30 ± 0.94 μM and Ki′ = 9.54 ± 0.38 μM, and for (E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)acrylic anhydride (2u) Ki = 8.23 ± 0.93 μM and Ki′ = 13.07 ± 0.46 μM were measured. While being not cytotoxic to many human cell lines, these compounds showed an unprecedented and noteworthy inhibitory effect for AChE but not for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE).

Background: Currently perchlorate catalysts gain much attention in organic synthesis due to ease of operation, wide applicability, high yield, and economy. This is evident through increasing number of citation related to their application in industry as well as other allied fields. The aim of this paper is to describe a methodology using lithium perchlorate to catalyze the Knoevenagel condensation reaction for the synthesis of biologically active trans-cinnamic acid in good to excellent yield. Methods: We discuss herein an economic, user-friendly one-pot synthesis of trans-cinnamic acids by refluxing a mixture of a malonic acid with aryl aldehyde in pyridine. The product was easily isolated via filtration and thereafter washed and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Results: This method is robust, stereoselective and high yielding. It can be utilized to synthesize a wide array of trans-cinnamic acids in good to excellent yield using 20% of lithium perchlorate catalyst. It is also useful in the synthesis of aliphatic α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid. Conclusion: The role of lithium perchlorate as a mild catalyst in the synthesis of trans-cinnamic acid was explored. The reactions afforded a good yield of various products with simpler isolation.

The first example of UV light-induced, copper-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective decarboxylative coupling of α,β-unsaturated acids with alkyl iodides was reported. Under standard conditions, the 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl iodides proceeded smoothly with the E-selective alkenes obtained in uniformly good yields and high stereoselectivities.

Aldehyde oxidases (AOXs) are molybdoflavoenzymes with an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of heterocyclic compounds and aliphatic as well as aromatic aldehydes. The enzymes use oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor and produce reduced oxygen species during turnover. Four different enzymes, mAOX1, mAOX3, mAOX4, and mAOX2, which are the products of distinct genes, are present in the mouse. A direct and simultaneous comparison of the enzymatic properties and characteristics of the four enzymes has never been performed. In this report, the four catalytically active mAOX enzymes were purified after heterologous expression in Escherichia coli. The kinetic parameters of the four mouse AOX enzymes were determined and compared with the use of six predicted substrates of physiologic and toxicological interest, i.e., retinaldehyde, N1-methylnicotinamide, pyridoxal, vanillin, 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde (p-DMAC), and salicylaldehyde. While retinaldehyde, vanillin, p-DMAC, and salycilaldehyde are efficient substrates for the four mouse AOX enzymes, N1-methylnicotinamide is not a substrate of mAOX1 or mAOX4, and pyridoxal is not metabolized by any of the purified enzymes. Overall, mAOX1, mAOX2, mAOX3, and mAOX4 are characterized by significantly different KM and kcat values for the active substrates. The four mouse AOXs are also characterized by quantitative differences in their ability to produce superoxide radicals. With respect to this last point, mAOX2 is the enzyme generating the largest rate of superoxide radicals of around 40% in relation to moles of substrate converted, and mAOX1, the homolog to the human enzyme, produces a rate of approximately 30% of superoxide radicals with the same substrate.

Cinnamyl- and thiazole-based compounds have been shown to exhibit diverse medicinal properties and a series of twelve (E)-2-styrylthiazole and (E)-2-[(naphthalen-1-yl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives, which are conjugates of both systems and which satisfy the "Lipinski rule of 5", have been synthesised and subjected to in vitro biological screening. While insignificant inhibition (60-98% viability at 10 μM) of HeLa (cervical cancer) cells was noted, all five of the (E)-2-[naphthalen-1- yl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives proved remarkably active against SH-SY5Y (neuroblastoma) cells with IC50 values ranging from 2.09 to 8.64 μM. Two of the seven (E)-2-styrylthiazoles were found to be moderately active (with IC50 values of 10.8 and 11.7 mM), whereas the remaining five analogues exhibit significant proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells (with IC50 values of 180-1000 mM). The results warrant further studies on the effects of styrylthiazoles on the differentiation and extension of SH-SY5Y cells in order to assess their activity in neurological degenerative diseases.

A series of N,N-dimethyl-N1-[3-(substituted phenyl)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]biguanides were synthesized by coupling a solution of metformin in pyridine with different cinnamoyl chloride derivatives in ether for 3 h in addition to synthesis of some five molecules of metformin-mandelates. All the synthesized cinnamoyl metformins and a few metformin-mandelates were characterized by IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopic techniques. All the synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their antioxidant activity by DPPH scavenging method and nitric oxide scavenging method. All the compounds exhibited good antioxidant activity.
