Synthesis, molecular docking, and biological activities of new cyanopyridine derivatives containing phenylurea.

A new class of cyanopyridine derivatives (10a-e and 11a-e) containing the phenylurea unit was synthesized and tested against some metabolic enzymes including acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and α-glycosidase (α-Gly). The new cyanopyridine derivatives showed K values in the range of 40.73 ± 6.

Synthesis, characterization, and biological studies of chalcone derivatives containing Schiff bases: Synthetic derivatives for the treatment of epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.

In this study, first, Schiff base-containing chalcone derivatives were synthesized. The human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoenzymes I and II were then purified from human erythrocytes using Sepharose-4B-l-tyrosine-sulfanilamide affinity chromatography. In addition, the inhibitory effects of the newly synthesized compounds on the activities of hCA and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated in vitro, using the esterase and acetylcholine iodide method.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel indenopyrazole derivatives.

A series of novel indenopyrazole derivatives 2a-j and 3a-j were synthesized from the reaction of 1-(4-(hydroxy(1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2 H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)phenyl)-3-phenylurea derivatives 1a-j with hydrazine and phenylhydrazine, respectively. The obtained novel indenopyrazoles ( 2a-j and 3a-j) were evaluated for anticancer activity against HeLa and C6 cell lines. Antiproliferative activity was determined by the BrdU proliferation ELISA assay; 2a, 2b, 2d, 2h, and 3h were found to be the most active compounds.

Evaluation of antimicrobial, antibiofilm and carbonic anhydrase inhibition profiles of 1,3-bis-chalcone derivatives.

A series of 1,3-bis-chalcone derivatives (3a-i, 6a-i and 8) were synthesized and evaluated antimicrobial, antibiofilm and carbonic anhydrase inhibition activities. In this evaluation, 6f was found to be the most active compound showing the same effect as the positive control against Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus pyogenes in terms of antimicrobial activity. Biofilm structures formed by microorganisms were damaged by compounds at the minimum inhibitory concentration value between 0.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel 1-(4-(Hydroxy(1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)phenyl)-3-phenylurea Derivatives.

A series of novel phenylurea containing 2-benzoylindan-1-one derivatives 3a - 3j were synthesized from the reaction of phenylurea-substituted acetophenones 1a - 1j with phthalaldehyde 2 under mild reaction conditions in good yields. All synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The obtained compounds (3a - 3j) were evaluated for anticancer activity against HeLa and C6 cell lines.

Synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity of novel 2-(3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropylthio)acetic acid derivatives.

A series of novel 2-(3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropylthio)acetic acid derivatives (3a-l) were prepared by base catalyzed addition of thioglycolic acid to chalcones (1a-l). The antibacterial activities of synthesized compounds were screened against human pathogenic microorganisms by employing the disk-diffusion technique. For the active compounds, also minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined.

Screening of biological activities of a series of chalcone derivatives against human pathogenic microorganisms.

In an effort to develop new antimicrobial agents, a series of chalcone derivatives, 3-60, were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of appropriate acetophenones and 2-furyl methyl ketones with appropriate aromatic aldehydes, furfural, and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde in an aqueous solution of NaOH and EtOH at room temperature. The synthesized compounds were characterized by means of their IR- and NMR-spectral data, and elemental analysis. All compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities by the disc diffusion method.
