Evaluation of 2,3-Dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine Derivatives as Potential Tyrosinase Inhibitors: and Studies.

Benzothiazepines are pharmacologically active compounds, frequently utilized as a precursor for acquiring versatile molecules with several bioactivities including anti-inflammatory, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), analgesic, antitumor, antimicrobial, and antitubercular. In this study, the 2,4-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine scaffold was selected for their , docking, and druglikeness studies to evaluate their inhibitory potential against mushroom tyrosinase. All synthesized analogues, -, exhibited moderate to good IC values ranging from 1.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some new pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazines and related heterocycles.

A series of new pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazines containing, 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, imidazothiadiazolyl, thiazolidinonyl, substituents and other different substituents, was synthesized using 1,6-diphenyl-3-methyl-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine-5-carbonitrile (2) as a starting material. Some of the newly prepared compounds were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity. Compounds 9a, 13a-d and 14a at a dose of 10mg/kg showed very significant anticonvulsant activity and increased the latency time of PTZ-induced tonic seizures.

Pyridine-based heterocycles. Synthesis of new pyrido [4',3':4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines and related heterocycles.

The synthesis of the title compounds was achieved using ethyl 2-amino-6-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylate (1) as starting material. The reaction of the amino ester 1 with phenylisothiocyanate in boiling ethanol afforded the thiourea derivative 5. The cyclization reactions of 5 under different reaction conditions led to different pyridothienopyrimidine derivatives.
