Robust therapeutic potential of carbazole-triazine hybrids as a new class of urease inhibitors: A distinctive combination of nitrogen-containing heterocycles.

The inhibition of urease enzyme is very important as it plays a key role in the treatment of several urinary and gastrointestinal tract infections. This enzyme provides a suitable environment for Helicobacter pylori at the low pH of the stomach, a causative agent of gastric and peptic ulcer that may lead to cancer. In agriculture, the high urease content causes environmental and economic problems.

Developing new hybrid scaffold for urease inhibition based on carbazole-chalcone conjugates: Synthesis, assessment of therapeutic potential and computational docking analysis.

Although a diverse range of chemical entities offering striking therapeutic potential against urease enzyme has been reported, the key challenges (toxicity and safety) associated with these inhibitors create a large unmet medical need to unveil new, potent and safe inhibitors of urease enzyme. In this pursuit, the present study demonstrates the successful synthesis of carbazole-chalcone hybrids (4a-n) in good yields. The evaluation of the preliminary in vitro biological results showed that selected members of the investigated library of hybrid compounds possess excellent urease inhibitory efficacy.

A new entry into the portfolio of α-glucosidase inhibitors as potent therapeutics for type 2 diabetes: Design, bioevaluation and one-pot multi-component synthesis of diamine-bridged coumarinyl oxadiazole conjugates.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic multifarious metabolic disorder resulting from impaired glucose homeostasis has become one of the most challenging diseases with severe life threat to public health. The inhibition of α-glucosidase, a key carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme, could serve as one of the effective methodology in both preventing and treating diabetes through controlling the postprandial glucose levels and suppressing postprandial hyperglycemia. In this context, three series of diamine-bridged bis-coumarinyl oxadiazole conjugates were designed and synthesized by one-pot multi-component methodology.

Exploration of aroyl/heteroaroyl iminothiazolines featuring 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl moiety as a new class of potent, selective, and in vitro efficacious glucosidase inhibitors.

A series of iminothiazolines (4a-j) featuring 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl moiety and aroyl/heteroaroyl substituents has been prepared from readily accessible thioureas. In-vitro screening against glucosidase enzymes showed highly specific inhibition of α-glucosidase with a marked dependence of the potency upon the nature of the aroyl/heteroaroyl substituents. The most potent representatives, bearing ortho-tolyl and bulky naphthyl groups displayed the highest inhibitory potential with IC value of 0.

Generation and electrophile trapping of N-Boc-2-lithio-2-azetine: synthesis of 2-substituted 2-azetines.

s-BuLi-induced α-lithiation-elimination of LiOMe from N-Boc-3-methoxyazetidine and further in situ α-lithiation generates N-Boc-2-lithio-2-azetine which can be trapped with electrophiles, either directly (carbonyl or heteroatom electrophiles) or after transmetalation to copper (allowing allylations and propargylations), providing a concise access to 2-substituted 2-azetines.

1,1'-(9-Octyl-9H-carbazole-3,6-di-yl)diethanone.

The central structural element of the title compound, C(24)H(29)NO(2), is a carbazole unit substituted with two acetyl residues and an octyl chain. The acetyl residues are nearly coplanar [dihedral angles = 5.37 (14) and 1.
