In this effort, the immobilization of guanidine-sulfonate on the surface of FeO MNPs (magnetic nanoparticles) as a novel acid nanocatalyst has been successfully reported for the synthesis of -substituted ()-5-arylidene thiazolidine-2,4-dione and related cyclic derivatives, including rhodanine (RHD) and hydantoin (HYD) a one-pot multiple-component reaction under green conditions. The products were characterized by SEM, TEM, TGA, EDS, BET techniques, VSM, and FTIR. The novel compounds synthesized using this methodology, designated as series La (1-9), Lb (1-8), and Lc (1-8), were subjected to anticancer screening against A549 and MCF7cell lines MTT assays.

In this study, the immobilization of sulfaguanidine-SA on the surface of FeAlO (hercynite) MNPs (magnetic nanoparticles) as a novel acid nanocatalyst has been successfully reported for the synthesis of 2-(piperazin-1-yl) quinoxaline derivatives a one-pot multiple-component reaction under green conditions. The products were characterized by SEM, TEM, TGA, EDS, BET technique, VSM, and FTIR. This series of novel 2-piperazinyl quinoxaline derivatives containing isatin-based thio/semicarbazones and/or Schiff bases of Metformin were evaluated for anticancer activity against both human ovarian and colon-derived tumor cell lines by MTT colorimetric assay.

Despite the significant development in vaccines and therapeutics cocktails, there is no specific treatment available for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Targeting the main protease (M) of SARS-CoV-2, which possesses a key role in producing the essential viral structural and functional proteins, can be considered an efficient way to control this potentially lethal infection. Recently, some of Michael acceptor-pharmacophore containing inhibitors have been suggested as successful suppressors of the main protease.
