Synthesis of New Pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidine Derivatives: NMR Spectroscopic Characterization, X-Ray, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, DFT, Molecular Docking, and Antiproliferative Activity Investigations.

Four new pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidines (-) were successfully synthesized in good relative yields by reacting 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidin-4-ol with various alkylating agents (methyl iodide, propargyl bromide, and phenacyl bromide) at room temperature in DMF solvent, employing liquid-solid phase transfer catalysis. The - structures were elucidated using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Intermolecular interactions in - were analyzed via Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D fingerprint plots.

Semi-synthesis, α-amylase inhibition, and kinetic and molecular docking studies of arylidene-based sesquiterpene coumarins isolated from Pomel ex Batt.

Despite all the significant progresses made to enhance the efficacy of the existing bank of drugs used to manage and cure type II diabetes mellitus, there is still a need to search and develop novel bioactive compounds with superior efficacy and minimal adverse effects. This study describes the valorization of the natural bioactive sesquiterpene coumarin the semi-synthesis of new analogs and the study of their α-amylase inhibition activity. The sesquiterpene coumarin named coladonin (1) was quantitatively isolated from the chloroform extract of endemic roots.

Chemical Composition and In Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Antigerminative Properties of the Seed Oil from the Tunisian Endemic Ferula tunetana Pomel ex Batt.

Essential oil of the seeds from the endemic Tunisian plant Ferula tunetana Pomel ex Batt. was analyzed for its chemical composition and screened for its antimicrobial, antioxidant and antigerminative properties. The chemical composition of the isolated oil is reported for the first time.

Synthesis, cytotoxic, anti-lipoxygenase and anti-acetylcholinesterase capacities of novel derivatives from harmine.

We synthesized two series of new hydrazide harmine derivatives. The reaction of harmine 1 with ethyl acetate chloride afforded the corresponding ethyl ester 2. The treatment of 2 with hydrazine hydrate gave the hydrazide 3 which further converted into hydrazones 4a-j and dihydrazides 5a-c.

Synthesis of New Harmine Isoxazoles and Evaluation of their Potential Anti-Alzheimer, Anti-inflammatory, and Anticancer Activities.

Harmine 1 was extracted from the seeds of Peganum harmala. From this natural molecule, a new series of isoxazole derivatives with complete regiospecificity were prepared using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various arylnitrile oxides. Harmine and its derivatives were characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and HRMS.

Synthesis of new isoxazoline derivatives from harmine and evaluation of their anti-Alzheimer, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities.

In our study, a series of new harmine derivatives has been prepared by cycloaddition reaction using various arylnitrile oxides and evaluated in vitro against acetylcholinesterase and 5-lipoxygenase enzymes, MCF7 and HCT116 cancer cell lines. Some of these molecules have been shown to be potent inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and MCF7 cell line. The greatest activity against acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 10.
