Assembly of Benzothiazine and Triazole in a Single Molecular Entity: Synthesis of -Oxicam Derived Novel Molecules as Potential Antibacterial/ Anti-cancer Agents.

Background: Benzothiazine derivatives, because of their various biological activities have attracted particular attention in Med Chem and drug discovery efforts. The synthetic modifications of 1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides have been undertaken in order to explore and identify novel compounds or new analogues possessing promising biological activities. In our effort we have designed -oxicam derived bezothiazine-1,2,3-triazole derivatives as potential antibacterial agents.

1H-1,2,3-Triazolyl-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing structural features of ibuprofen/naproxen: Their synthesis and antibacterial evaluation.

1H-1,2,3-Triazolyl-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing structural features of ibuprofen/naproxen were synthesized for the first time using a Cu catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) strategy. An optimized reaction condition was established for this purpose and twenty new compounds were synthesized using this methodology. Several of these compounds showed good to reasonable antibacterial activities when tested against three gram-positive and three gram-negative species.

Application of response surface method to evaluate the cytotoxic potency of Ulva fasciata Delile, a marine macro alga.

Bioprospecting of marine natural products has recently produced a substantial number of drug candidates. Ulva fasciata Delile, belonging to the family Ulvaceae, is a green marine macro alga that grows profusely on the coastal seashore of South India. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro cytotoxic potential of a methanolic extract of U .

Synthesis, anticonvulsant, sedative and anxiolytic activities of novel annulated pyrrolo[1,4]benzodiazepines.

Four new pentacyclic benzodiazepine derivatives (PBDTs 13-16) were synthesized by conventional thermal heating and microwave-assisted intramolecular cyclocondensation. Their anticonvulsant, sedative and anxiolytic activities were evaluated by drug-induced convulsion models, a pentobarbital-induced hypnotic model and an elevated plus maze in mice. PBDT 13, a triazolopyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-8-one fused with a thiadiazolone ring, exhibited the best anticonvulsant, sedative and anxiolytic effects in our tests.

Estimation of enantiomeric impurity in piperidin-3-amine by chiral HPLC with precolumn derivatization.

A simple, precise, accurate, robust chiral high-performance liquid chromatographic (chiral HPLC) method was developed for estimation of (S)-piperidin-3-amine (S-isomer) in (R)-piperidin-3-amine dihydrochloride (R-AMP). As AMP is a high-melting solid and nonchromophoric compound, development of a suitable chiral method is a challenging task. The proposed chiral HPLC-UV method involves a precolumn derivatization technique with para toluene sulphonyl chloride (PTSC) in the presence of a base to introduce chromophore into analytes.
