Chronic Inflammation is associated with various types of diseases that involves pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α. High costs and serious side effects of available anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory drugs led us to design new compounds with promising anti-inflammatory activities. Many drugs and biologically important compounds involve naphthoquinone and thiazole moieties in their core structures.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA potentiometric investigation has been carried out to disclose the coordination properties of Dacarbazine, 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide (abbreviated DTIC) with particular transition metal ions (Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+). The coordination of DTIC with these metal ions results in several complexes emerging in solution. The aim of this work is to determine the protonation constants of the DTIC and to show the extent of its coordination with (Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+), in other words, establish the stability of the complexes formed between the DTIC and these metal ions by the determination of their stability constants.

Various biological properties of the synthesized compounds including DNA binding/cleavage, antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties were evaluated. The DNA binding study was performed using dsDNA and G-quadruplex DNA.

The starting pyrrolidine derivatives were synthesized via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in 83-88% yield. The stereochemistry of one of these methyl 5,5-diphenyl-1-(thiazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate derivatives was characterized by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study and the acid dissociation constants of these compounds were determined.

Potentiometric titration technique was used to follow the formation of complexes during the course of coordination. The stability of the complexes formed was controlled through the determination of stability constants in aqueous ethanol solution at 25 ± 0.
