Article Synopsis
  • Energetic heterocycles like pyridines and tetrazoles have improved properties like density and heats of formation, making them suitable for creating new bis-tetrazole acetamides that could serve as effective compounds in aryl coupling reactions.
  • The synthesized compounds were analyzed using various spectroscopic methods and density functional theory to investigate their electronic properties and reactivity, revealing valuable insights into their molecular structure and behavior.
  • Molecular docking studies highlighted that certain synthesized heterocycles exhibited significant binding interactions with cancer-related proteins, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents, supported by molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical evaluations of their energetic capabilities.

Naphthalene ring is present in a number of FDA-approved, commercially available medications, including naphyrone, terbinafine, propranolol, naproxen, duloxetine, lasofoxetine, and bedaquiline. By reacting newly obtained 1-naphthoyl isothiocyanate with properly modified anilines, a library of ten novel naphthalene-thiourea conjugates () were produced with good to exceptional yields and high purity. The newly synthesized compounds were observed for their potential to inhibit alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and scavenge free radicals.

The current studies mainly demonstrate the coumarin based azomethine-clubbed thiazoles synthesis and their in-vitro evaluation for the first time against α-glucosidase. Due to the catalytic role of α-glucosidase, it has become a precise target for the treatment of type diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The high rate of prevalence of diabetes and its associated health related problems led us to scrutinize the anti-diabetic capability of the synthesized thiazole derivatives (6a-6k).

-((4-Acetylphenyl)carbamothioyl)-2,4-dichlorobenzamide (4) was synthesized by the treatment of 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride with potassium thiocyanate in a 1 : 1 molar ratio in dry acetone to afford the 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl isothiocyanate which on reaction with acetyl aniline furnished (4) in good yield and high purity. The compound was confirmed by FTIR, H-NMR, and C-NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The planar rings were situated at a dihedral angle of 33.

Thiazole derivatives are known inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase, but various side effects have reduced their curative efficacy. Conversely, compounds bearing azomethine linkage display a broad spectrum of biological applications. Therefore, combining the two scaffolds in a single structural unit should result in joint beneficial effects of both.

This article describes the design and synthesis of a series of novel amantadine-thiourea conjugates (-) as Jack bean urease inhibitors. The synthesized hybrids were assayed for their in vitro urease inhibition. Accordingly, -(adamantan-1-ylcarbamothioyl)octanamide () possessing a 7-carbon alkyl chain showed excellent activity with IC value 0.
