Organohalogen chalcones: design, synthesis, ADMET prediction, molecular dynamics study and inhibition effect on acetylcholinesterase and carbonic anhydrase.

In an effort to discover potential acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors, a novel series of organohalogen chalcone derivatives (12-20, 23-30) was synthesized, and their chemical structures were characterized by spectral analysis. They showed a highly potent inhibition effect on AChE and hCAs (K values range from 5.07 ± 0.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel bischalcone derivatives as potential anticancer agents.

Building on our previous work that discovered chalcone as a promising pharmacophore for anticancer activity, we have various other chalcone derivatives and have synthesized a series of novel bischalcone to explore their anticancer activity. Among all tested compounds, compounds 6a, 6b, and 6c showed the highest antiproliferative activity against A-549 cancer cell lines with the average IC values of 4.18, 4.

Synthesis of N-alkylated pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine analogs and evaluation of acetylcholinesterase and carbonic anhydrase inhibition properties.

Fused pyrimidines, especially pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, are among the most preferred building blocks for pharmacology studies, as they exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activity. In this study, new derivatives of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine were synthesized by alkylation of the N1 nitrogen atom. We synthesized 3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine 2 from commercially available aminopyrazolopyrimidine 1 using N-iodosuccinimide as an iodinating agent.
