Synthesis and biological evaluation of cationic fullerene quinazolinone conjugates and their binding mode with modeled Mycobacterium tuberculosis hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase enzyme.

The present work reports a series of novel cationic fullerene derivatives bearing a substituted-quinazolinone moiety as a side arm. Fullerene-quinazolinone conjugates synthesized using the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of C60 with azomethine ylides generated from the corresponding Schiff bases of substituted quinazolinone were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and ESI-MS and screened for their antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H 37 Rv strain). All the compounds exhibited significant activity with the most effective having MIC in the range of 1.

Novel cationic quinazolin-4(3H)-one conjugated fullerene nanoparticles as antimycobacterial and antimicrobial agents.

A series of novel cationic fullerene derivatives bearing a substituted-quinazolin-4(3H)-one moiety as a side arm were synthesized using the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of C60 with azomethine ylides generated from the corresponding Schiff bases of substituted quinazolinones. The synthesized compounds 5a-f were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and ESI-MS and screened for their antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37RV) and antimicrobial activity against selected Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and S. pyogenes) and Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli) bacterial and fungal strains (Candida albicans, Aspergillus clavatus, and A.

Calix[4]arene based 1,3,4-oxadiazole and thiadiazole derivatives: design, synthesis, and biological evaluation.

In the present investigation, we describe some novel calixarene based heterocyclic compounds (5a-5i) in which 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives have been coupled with 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis(chlorocarbonyl-methoxy)-26,28-dihydroxy calix[4]arene. All the newly synthesized calixarene based heterocyclic compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic methods like FTIR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and FAB-MS. All the final scaffolds have been subjected to antioxidant activity, in vitro antimicrobial screening against two gram (+ve) bacteria (S.

Novel monohydrogenphosphate ion-selective polymeric membrane sensor based on phenyl urea substituted calix[4]arene.

A highly selective and sensitive PVC membrane, containing phenylurea substituted calix[4]arene was found to be a suitable ionophore for monohydrogen phosphate (HPO(4)(2-)) ions that exhibited a Nernstian response (with a slope of -29.4 ± 0.3 mV decade(-1)).

Azo calix[4]arene based neodymium(III)-selective PVC membrane sensor.

We found that the PVC membrane, containing azo calix[4]arene is a suitable ionophore, exhibited a Nernstian response for neodymium (Nd(3+)) ions (with slope of 19.8±0.2 mV decade(-1) for the triply charged ion) over a wide linear range of 4.
