This work presented the microwave assisted synthesis of six new 2́-hydroxychalcones and their characterization based on FTIR, UV-Vis, H NMR, and mass spectral analysis. Quantum chemical studies confirmed the structures of prepared chalcones. Antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiviral studies have been performed to evaluate their biological performance.

Different esters were found potential against microorganisms, and could be a better choice to solve the multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogenic global issue due to their improved biological and pharmacokinetic properties. In this view, several 4--butylbenzoyl uridine esters with different aliphatic and aromatic groups were synthesized for antimicrobial, physicochemical and biological studies. antimicrobial tests against nine bacteria and three fungi along with prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) indicated promising antifungal functionality of these uridine esters compared to the antibacterial activities.

Aspirin (Asp) is one of the most important and ancient member of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), commonly used in medication of fever, pain and inflammation. It can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX). Attempts have been taken to analyze aspirin together with some of its modified derivatives applying quantum mechanical calculations in order to compare their physicochemical and biochemical properties.
