Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma and causes severe morbidity in infected patients. In 2018, 290.8 million people required treatment, and 200,000 deaths are reported per year. Treatment of this disease depends on a single drug, praziquantel (PZQ). However, in the past few years, reduced sensitivity of the parasites toward PZQ has been reported. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new drugs against this disease. In the past few years, we have focused on a new substance class called biaryl alkyl carboxylic acid derivatives, which showed promising antischistosomal activity in vitro. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of the carboxylic acid moiety led to three promising carboxylic amides (morpholine, thiomorpholine, and methyl sulfonyl piperazine) with an antischistosomal activity down to 10 μM (morpholine derivative) and no cytotoxicity up to 100 μM. Here, we show our continued work on this substance class. We investigated, in extended SAR studies, whether modification of the linker and the thiophene ring could improve the antischistosomal activity. We found that the exchange of the alkyl linker by a pentadienyl or benzyl linker was tolerated and led to similar antischistosomal effects, whereas the exchange of the thiophene ring was not tolerated. Our data suggest that the thiophene ring is important for the antischistosomal activity of this compound class.

The sustainable, undirected, and selective catalytic hydroxylation of arenes remains an ongoing research challenge because of the relative inertness of aryl carbon-hydrogen bonds, the higher reactivity of the phenolic products leading to over-oxidized by-products, and the frequently insufficient regioselectivity. We report that iron coordinated by a bioinspired L-cystine-derived ligand can catalyze undirected arene carbon-hydrogen hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The reaction is distinguished by its broad substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good yields, and it showcases compatibility with oxidation-sensitive functional groups, such as alcohols, polyphenols, aldehydes, and even a boronic acid. This method is well suited for the synthesis of polyphenols through multiple carbon-hydrogen hydroxylations, as well as the late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.

In this research, a Cu(II) contained nano-silica triazine based dendrimer was prepared, characterized, and utilized as a retrievable catalytic system (Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2) for green formation of primary amides in water at room temperature. The structure of nanoparticles was fully characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The results revealed that the nanoparticles have spherical morphology and an average size of around 40 nm. The analysis also illustrated that the copper nanoparticles had been successfully loaded on the nitrogen-rich dendritic structure with a uniform distribution. The inductively coupled plasma analysis showed that about 0.67 mmol/g of Cu was loaded on the Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2 support. Mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, environment-friendly synthesis, and easily prepared starting materials are the key features of the present method. The catalyst is easily removed from the reaction media using a simple filtration and can be re-used at least five times without any considerable loss of its catalytic activity.

Three new arene-ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by treating [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-arene)}2] (η6-arene = p-cymene) dimer with tri(2-furyl)phosphine (PFu3) and 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), respectively to obtain [RuCl2(η6-arene)PFu3] [Ru]-1, [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)(PTA)]BF4 [Ru]-2 and [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)2]BF4 [Ru]-3. All the complexes were structurally identified using analytical and spectroscopic methods including single-crystal X-ray studies. The effectiveness of resulting complexes as potential homogeneous catalysts for selective hydration of different nitriles into corresponding amides in aqueous medium and air atmosphere was explored. There was a remarkable difference in catalytic activity of the catalysts depending on the nature and number of phosphorus-donor ligands and sites available for catalysis. Experimental studies performed using structural analogues of efficient catalyst concluded a structural-activity relationship for the higher catalytic activity of [Ru]-1, being able to convert huge variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic nitriles. The use of eco-friendly water as a solvent, open atmosphere and avoidance of any organic solvent during the catalytic reactions prove the reported process to be truly green and sustainable.

Various primary amides have been synthesized using the transamidation of various tertiary amides under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. When (NH4)2CO3 reacts with a tertiary amide bearing an N-electron-withdrawing substituent, such as sulfonyl and diacyl, in DMSO at 25 °C, the desired primary amide product is formed in good yield with good funcctional group tolerance. In addition, N-tosylated lactam derivatives afforded their corresponding N-tosylamido alkyl amide products via a ring opening reaction.

Abstract: In this study, for the first time, the copper(II) nanoparticles (NPs) have been immobilized on metformin-functionalized graphene oxide and then its catalytic applications have been investigated in synthesis of amides from aldoximes (Beckmann rearrangement). The chemical structure of prepared catalyst has been characterized by various analyses like FT-IR, TGA, TEM, SEM, EDX, and ICP. All analyses confirm the successful and stable immobilization of copper NPs on functionalized graphene oxide. This synthesized heterogeneous nanocatalyst showed excellent catalytic activity with high product yields and short reaction times. Also, the suggested catalyst could be recycled ten times without a drastic decrease in its catalytic activity. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA) derivatives have been identified as novel class of potent antibacterial agents targeting the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ. As one of isosteres for the amide group, 1,2,3-triazole can mimic the topological and electronic features of the amide, which has gained increasing attention in drug discovery. Based on these considerations, we prepared a series of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-containing 3-MBA analogues via isosteric replacement of the terminal amide with triazole, which had increased antibacterial activity. This study demonstrated the possibility of developing the 1H-1,2,3-triazole group as a terminal amide-mimetic element which was capable of both keeping and modulating amide-related bioactivity. Surprisingly, a different action mode of these new 1H-1,2,3-triazole-containing analogues was observed, which could open new opportunities for the development of antibacterial agents.

Copper complex-functionalized magnetic core–shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-Lig-Cu) were prepared and characterized using various techniques. The activity of the new catalyst was tested for the Beckmann rearrangement. The reaction conditions allow for the conversion of a wide variety of aldoximes, including aromatic and heterocyclic ones, to amides in good to excellent yields. High efficiency, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, use of poly(ethylene glycol) as a green medium and simple purification of products are important advantages of this system. Moreover, the eco-friendly heterogeneous nanocatalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture using an external magnet and reused several times.

The human rhinovirus (hRV) is the causative agent of the common cold that often aggravates respiratory complications in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The high rate of mutations and variety of serotypes are limiting the development of anti-hRV drugs, which emphasizes the need for the discovery of novel lead compounds. Previously, we identified antiviral compound 1 that we used here as the starting material for developing a novel compound series with high efficacy against hRV-A and -B. Improved metabolic stability was achieved by substituting an ester moiety with a 1,2,4-oxadiazole group. Specifically, compound 3k exhibited a high efficacy against hRV-B14, hRV-A21, and hRV-A71, with EC50 values of 66.0, 22.0, and 3.7 nM, respectively, and a relevant hepatic stability (59.6 and 40.7% compound remaining after 30 min in rat and human liver microsomes, respectively). An in vivo study demonstrated that 3k possessed a desirable pharmacokinetic profile with low systemic clearance (0.158 L·h-1·kg-1) and modest oral bioavailability (27.8%). Hence, 3k appears to be an interesting candidate for the development of antiviral lead compounds.
