The present study focused on the synthesis and characterization of novel pyrazole carboxamide derivatives (SA1-12). The inhibitory effect of the compounds on cholinesterases (ChEs; AChE and BChE) and carbonic anhydrases (hCAs; hCA I and hCA II) isoenzymes were screened as in vitro. These series compounds have been identified as potential inhibitors with a K values in the range of 10.

In this work, the inhibitory effect of some symmetric sulfamides derived from phenethylamines were determined against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I, and II isoenzymes, and compared with standard compound acetazolamide. IC values were obtained from the Enzyme activity (%)-[Symmetric sulfamides] graphs. Also, K values were calculated from the Lineweaver-Burk graphs.

Kınkor () is Turkish medicinal plant species and used in folk medicine against some diseases. As far as we know, the data are not available on the biological activities and chemical composition of this medicinal plant. In this study, the phytochemical composition; some metabolic enzyme inhibition; and antidiabetic, anticholinergic, and antioxidant activities of this plant were assessed.

In this work, the inhibitory activity of Voriconazole was measured against some metabolic enzymes, including human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and α-glycosidase; the results were compared with standard compounds including acetazolamide, tacrine, and acarbose. Half maximal inhibition concentration (IC ) values were obtained from the enzyme activity (%)-[Voriconazole] graphs, whereas K values were calculated from the Lineweaver-Burk graphs. According to the results, the IC value of Voriconazole was 40.

Eugenol was used as starting material to obtain some phenolic compounds. The synthesis of these phenolic compounds was performed in a two-step procedure. The structures of the formed products (novel eugenol derivatives 1-6) have been determined on the basis of NMR spectroscopy and other spectroscopic methods.

Taxifolin is a kind of flavanonol, whose biological ability. The objectives of this study were to investigate the antioxidants and antiradical activities of taxifolin by using different in vitro bioanalytical antioxidant methods including DMPD√(+), ABTS√(+), [Formula: see text], and DPPH√-scavenging effects, the total antioxidant influence, reducing capabilities, and Fe(2+)-chelating activities. Taxifolin demonstrated 81.

The antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory properties of novel symmetric sulfamides derived from phenethylamines were evaluated. Phenethylamines 8-11 were reacted with SO2Cl2 in the presence of Et3N to afford sulfamides in good yields. The synthesized sulfamides were converted to their phenolic derivatives with BBr3.

Cynarin is a derivative of hydroxycinnamic acid and it has biologically active functional groups constituent of some plants and food. We elucidated the antioxidant activity of cynarin by using different in vitro condition bioanalytical antioxidant assays like DMPD(•+), ABTS(•+), O2(•-), DPPH(•) and H2O2 scavenging effects, the total antioxidant influence, reducing capabilities, Fe(2+) chelating and anticholinergic activities. Cynarin demonstrated 87.

Three 1-aminoindanes, four anilines and BnOH or t-BuOH were reacted with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to give sulfamoyl carbamates. Pd-C catalysed hydrogenolysis reactions of carbamates or deprotection of the Boc group of the carbamates with CF3 CO2 H afforded seven novel sulfamides. Human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and hCA II) were purified from fresh human blood erythrocytes with one-step affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B-tyrosine-sulfanilamide.

The oxidation of some cyanocycloheptatrienes with CrO3 and pyridine was investigated and a few new nitrile functionalised benzotropone derivatives were obtained. Photooxygenation reaction of these products was also studied. The structures of the formed products were determined on the basis of NMR spectroscopy and the formation mechanism of unusual products was discussed.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) are a class of pharmaceuticals used as antiglaucoma agents, diuretics, antiepileptics, in the management of mountain sickness, gastric and duodenal ulcers, neurological disorders or osteoporosis. We report here the inhibitory capacities of some phenolic compounds against three human CA isozymes (hCA I, hCA II, and hCA VI) and the gill carbonic anhydrase of the teleost fish Dicentrarchus labrax (European seabass) (dCA). The isozymes showed quite diverse inhibition profiles with these compounds.

In the present study, we determined the antioxidant activity of cepharanthine and fangchinoline from Stephania rotunda by performing different in vitro antioxidant assays, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging, N,N- dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (DMPD) radical scavenging, superoxide anion (O2*-) radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, total antioxidant activity, reducing power, and ferrous ion (Fe2+) chelating activities. Cepharanthine and fangchinoline showed 94.6 and 93.
