In silico prediction of ADMET parameters and in vitro evaluation of antioxidant and cytotoxic activities promoted by indole-thiosemicarbazone compounds.

Cancer is a complex and multifactorial disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and is one of the main causes of death in the world. This work aimed to evaluate a small series of 10 different indole-thiosemicarbazone compounds as potential antitumor agents. This is a pioneering study.

Preliminary evaluation of the toxicological, antioxidant and antitumor activities promoted by the compounds 2,4-dihydroxy-benzylidene-thiosemicarbazones an in silico, in vitro and in vivo study.

Thiosemicarbazones are promising classes of compounds with antitumor activity. For this study, six 2,4-dihydroxy-benzylidene-thiosemicarbazones compounds were synthesized. These compounds were submitted to different assays in silico, in vitro and in vivo to evaluate the toxicological, antioxidant and antitumor effects.

Correlation between DNA/HSA-interactions and antimalarial activity of acridine derivatives: Proposing a possible mechanism of action.

Acridines are considered an important class of compounds due to their wide variety of biological activities. In this work, we synthesized four acridine derivatives (1-4) and evaluated their biological activity against the Plasmodium falciparum W2 line, as well as studied the interaction with ctDNA and HSA using spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking. The acridine derivative 2 (IC = 0.

Dimethyl 2-[(acridin-9-yl)methyl-idene]malonate.

In the title compound, C(19)H(15)NO(4), the acridine system is essentially planar (r.m.s.

Effect of thiazolidine LPSF SF29 on the growth and morphology of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is an endemic illness in Latin America. Efforts have been made by several groups to develop new effective and safe anti-T. cruzi drugs.

Ethyl 2-(3-phenyl-thio-ureido)-5,6-di-hydro-4H-cyclo-penta-[b]thio-phene-3-carboxyl-ate.

In the title compound, C(17)H(18)N(2)O(2)S(2), the angle between the mean plane defined by the atoms of the 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclo-penta-[b]thio-phene moiety (r.m.s.

2-Amino-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-benzo[b]thio-phene-3-carbonitrile.

The title compound, C(9)H(10)N(2)S, was synthesized according to Gewald procedures by the reaction of cyclo-hexa-none with malonitrile and sulfur in the presence morpholine. The cyclo-hexane ring adopts a half-chair conformation and the thio-phene ring is essentially planar (r.m.

Solid dispersions of imidazolidinedione by PEG and PVP polymers with potential antischistosomal activities.

Solid dispersions have been used as a strategy to improve the solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability of poor water-soluble drugs. The increase of the dissolution rate presented by (5Z)-3-(4-chloro-benzyl)-5-(4-nitro-benzylidene)-imidazolidine-2,4-dione (LPSF/FZ4) from the solid dispersions is related to the existence of intermolecular interactions of hydrogen bond type (>N-H···O<) between the amide group (>N-H) of the LPSF/FZ4 and the ether group (-O-) of the polyethyleneglycol polymer, or the carbonyl (C=O) of the polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer (PVP). The intensity of these interactions is directly reflected in the morphology acquired by LPSF/FZ4 in these systems, where a new solid phase, in the form of amorphous aggregates of irregular size, was identified through scanning electron microscopy and confirmed in the characterizations achieved using X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis of DSC.

2-(2-Nitro-anilino)-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-benzo[b]thio-phene-3-carbonitrile.

The title compound, C(15)H(13)N(3)O(2)S, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetra-hydro-4H-cyclo-hepta-[b]thio-phene-3-carbonitrile and o-fluoro-nitro-benzene. The dihedral angle between the thio-phene and nitro-phenyl rings is 75.15 (2)°.

2-(2-Nitro-anilino)-5,6,7,8-tetra-hydro-4H-cyclo-hepta-[b]thio-phene-3-carbonitrile.

The title compound, C(16)H(15)N(3)O(2)S, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetra-hydro-4H-cyclo-hepta-[b]thio-phene-3-carbonitrile and o-fluoro-nitro-benzene. The thio-phene and nitro-phenyl rings and amino and carbonitrile groups are coplanar with a maximum deviation of 0.046 (2) Å and a dihedral angle of 0.
