The heterocyclic core of imidazo[1,2-]pyrimidine was formed in satisfactory yields as a result of the interaction of the readily available 2-aminoimidazole with -substituted maleimides or -arylitaconimides. The mechanism of the studied processes was postulated basing on experimental data, HPLC-MS analysis of reaction mixtures, and quantum chemical calculations. Molecular docking results of the obtained imidazo[1,2-]pyrimidines, when compared with voriconazole, a drug already in clinical use, suggest that they may possess antifungal activity against .

Thienylallylamines, readily accessible from the corresponding thienyl aldehydes, react with maleic and trifluoromethylmaleic anhydrides leading to the formation of acids with a thieno[2,3-]isoindole core. The reaction sequence involves two successive steps: acylation of the nitrogen atom of the initial allylamine and the intramolecular Diels-Alder vinylarene (IMDAV) reaction. The scope and limitations of the proposed method were thoroughly investigated.

The wide spread of pathogens resistance requires the development of new antimicrobial agents capable of overcoming drug resistance. The main objective of the study is to elucidate the effect of substitutions in (1-indol-3-yl)methylium derivatives on their antibacterial activity and toxicity to human cells. A series of new compounds were synthesized and tested.

A series of new compounds-arylbis(indol-3-yl)methylium derivatives-were synthesized and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated. All the compounds turned out to be highly active, with MIC depending on their structure and the length of N-alkyl residues. The parent triarylmethane compounds possess weaker activity.

A series of 3,4-bis(arylthio)maleimides were synthesized and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug resistant (MDR) strains and some fungi. Most compounds turned out to be highly active, activity being dependent on substituents on phenyl rings.

The antibiotic oligomycin A in the presence of K(2)CO(3) and n-Bu(4)NHSO(4) in chloroform in phase-transfer conditions afforded a novel derivative through the initial retro-aldol fragmentation of the 8,9 bond, followed by further transformation of the intermediate aldehyde. NMR, MS and quantum chemical calculations showed that the novel compound is the acyclic oligomycin A derivative, in which the 8,9 carbon bond is disrupted and two polyfunctional branches are connected with spiroketal moiety in positions C-23 and C-25. The tri-O-acetyl derivative of the novel derivative was prepared.
