Synthesis and anticancer potential of certain novel 2-oxo-N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazides.

Treatment of ethyl 3-hydrazinyl-3-oxopropanoate (6) with indoline-2,3-dione derivatives 7a-g gave ethyl 3-oxo-3-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl)propanoates 8a-g which were allowed to react with the appropriate salicyaldehyde 9a and/or 9b to furnish the chromene-based hydrazones 10a-i. Compounds 10a-i displayed a significant activity against HT-29 colon cancer cell line and a moderate activity against leukemia K562 cell line. Compound 10f emerged as the most active congener toward HT-29 colon cancer cell line with IC₅₀ = 7.

In the title compound, C(19)H(15)N(3)O, the central pyrazole ring makes dihedral angles of 35.52 (12) and 62.21 (11)° with the attached phenyl and methyl-substituted phenyl rings, respectively.

Validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for determination of rosuvastatin in plasma at picogram level.

In this study, a highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed and validated for the determination of rosuvastatin (ROS) in plasma samples at picogram level. The assay employed a polyclonal antibody that specifically recognizes ROS with high affinity, and ROS conjugate of bovine serum albumin (ROS-BSA) immobilized onto microplate wells as a solid phase. The assay involved a competitive binding reaction between ROS, in plasma sample, and the immobilized ROS-BSA for the binding sites on a limited amount of the anti-ROS antibody.

Synthesis of novel 6-phenyl-2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles as potential antimicrobial agents.

New series of 6-phenyl-2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles namely, 2-substitued thio-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (5a-d, 6, 7a-d, 8), 2-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-4-chloro-6-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (9), 2-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-4-arylthio-6-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (10a-d) and 2-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-4-arylamino-6-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (11a-d) was synthesized and tested for in vitro activities against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Compounds 5b, 5c, 6, 7a, 7b, 7c, 9 and 11a displayed marked antibacterial activity particularly against the tested Gram-positive bacteria, while compounds 6, 7c, 7d and 9 were moderately or weakly active against C. albicans.

Generation of polyclonal antibody with high avidity to rosuvastatin and its use in development of highly sensitive ELISA for determination of rosuvastatin in plasma.

In this study, a polyclonal antibody with high avidity and specificity to the potent hypocholesterolaemic agent rosuvastatin (ROS) has been prepared and used in the development of highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of ROS in plasma. ROS was coupled to keyhole limpt hemocyanin (KLH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using carbodiimide reagent. ROS-KLH conjugate was used for immunization of female 8-weeks old New Zealand white rabbits.

Generation of a specific polyclonal antibody with high affinity to atorvastatin and its employment in the development of ELISA for determination of atorvastatin in plasma.

For the first time, a polyclonal antibody with high affinity to atorvastatin (ATR) was generated. The high specificity of the antibody for ATR among its structural analogues and co-administered therapeutic agents was proved. The antibody was employed in the development of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantitation of ATR in plasma.

Preparation of a highly specific polyclonal antibody against and its use in development of ELISA for determination of in plasma.

For therapeutic monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies of the potent hypocholesterolaemic agent fluvastatin (FLV), a specific antibody was required for the development of a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the accurate determination of FLV in plasma. In this study, a highly specific polyclonal antibody against FLV has been prepared. FLV was coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using carbodiimide reagent.
