Design, synthesis, and molecular modeling studies of novel 2-quinolone-1,2,3-triazole-α-aminophosphonates hybrids as dual antiviral and antibacterial agents.

With the aim to identify new antiviral agents with antibacterial properties, a series of 2-quinolone-1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing α-aminophosphonates was synthesized and characterized by H NMR, C NMR, P NMR, single crystal XRD and HRMS analyses. These compounds were examined against five RNA viruses (YFV, ZIKV, CHIKV, EV71 and HRV) from three distinct families (Picornaviridae, Togaviridae and Flaviviridae) and four bacterial strains (S. aureus, E.

A New Case of Association of Megaloblastic Anemia and Pancytopenia of Infants.

Background: Vitamin B12, or cobalamin deficiency, an infrequent clinical entity in pediatric age, is found almost solely in breastfed infants whose mothers are purely vegetarian, non-supplemented or with pernicious anemia. Megaloblastic anemia in infants presents with generalized weakness or irritability.

Methods: Diagnosis is usually centered on complete blood count, vitamin dosing, and peripheral smear, which may show macrocytes, hypersegmented neutrophils, reticulocytopenia and a raised mean corpuscular volume (MCV ˃ 100 fL).

Synthesis of new 3-acetyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolines combined with pyrimidines as antileishmanial and antiviral agents.

A new series of 3-acetyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoline hybrid molecules was designed and synthesized using a condensation between acyclonucleosides and substituted phenylhydrazone. All intermediates and final products were screened against Leishmania donovani, a Protozoan parasite and against three viruses SARS-CoV-2, HCMV and VZV. While no significant activity was observed against the viruses, the intermediate with 6-azatymine as thymine and 5-azathymine-3-acetyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoline hybrid exhibited a significant antileishmanial activity.

Synthesis, characterization, molecular docking, and anticancer activities of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-fluorocytosine hybrid derivatives.

Analogs of pyrimidine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole are two well established class of molecules proven as potent antiviral and anticancer agents in the pharmaceutical industry. We envisioned designing new molecules where these two heterocycles were conjugated with the goal of enhancing biological activity. In this vein, we synthesized a series of novel pyrimidine-1,3,4-oxadiazole conjugated hybrid molecules as potential anticancer and antiviral agents.

Discovery of novel furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid derivatives as dual antiviral and anticancer agents that induce apoptosis.

A new series of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid derivatives were synthesized via an environmentally friendly, multistep synthetic tool and a one-pot Songoashira-heterocyclization protocol using, for the first time, nanostructured palladium pyrophosphate (Na PdP O ) as a heterogeneous catalyst. Compounds 9a-c exhibited broad-spectrum activity with low micromolar EC values toward wild and mutant varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strains. Compound 9b was up to threefold more potent than the reference drug acyclovir against thymidine kinase-deficient VZV strains.
