Photoinduced Regioselective Decarbonylative and Decarboxylative C-O Bond Functionalizations: Approach toward Chemoselective Scissions of Isatoic Anhydride and Unraveling the Enroutes through Control Experiments and DFT Studies.

Distinctive, green, innovative, and well-organized photoinduced (metal- or photocatalyst-free) regioselective decarbonylative and decarboxylative C-O bond functionalization protocols to access aryl 2-aminobenzoates and 2-substituted benzoxazinone derivatives in excellent yields have been devised. These are achieved through the chemoselective scission of isatoic anhydride with ketones, diaryliodonium triflate, nitroalkene, phthalazinone, and phenol derivatives, which, in turn, served as the representative "electrophilic and nucleophilic" coupling partners. Control experiments and DFT calculations reveal that electrophilic radical-bearing coupling partners specifically follow the decarbonylation pathway, while nucleophilic radical-bearing conjugates facilitate the decarboxylation process.

Interaction between antidepressant drug trazodone with double-stranded DNA: Multi-spectroscopic and computational analysis.

Trazodone (TZD) is an antidepressant drug used to treat major depressive and sleeping disorders. Elevated doses of trazodone are associated with central nervous system depression, which manifests as nausea, drowsiness, confusion, vertigo, exhaustion, etc. To develop a clinically viable active pharmaceutical compound with minimal adverse effects, it is imperative to possess a comprehensive knowledge of the drug's action mechanism on DNA.

Multistage approach to identify novel quinoline derivatives as potential c-kit kinase inhibitors.

The type II-C-KIT signaling network has been extensively studied for its potential as a target for cancer treatment, leading to the investigation of quinoline derivatives as compounds with inhibitory effects on c-Kit kinase. In this study, a multistage approach was employed, including the creation of pharmacophore models, 3D QSAR analysis, virtual screening, docking investigations, and molecular dynamics stimulation. The pharmacophore evaluation included a data set of 29 ligands, which resulted in the generation of the ADDHR_1pharmacophore model as the most promising, with a survival score of 5.

Treatment of infection and gastric ulcer: Need for novel Pharmaceutical formulation.

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is one of the most prevalent gastro intestinal disorder which often leads to painful sores in the stomach lining and intestinal bleeding. Untreated ( infection is one of the major reasons for chronic PUD which, if left untreated, may also result in gastric cancer. Treatment of is always a challenge to the treating doctor because of the poor bioavailability of the drug at the inner layers of gastric mucosa where the bacteria resides.

Melatonin targets ferroptosis through bimodal alteration of redox environment and cellular pathways in NAFLD model.

Ferroptosis is a non-conventional cellular death caused by lipid peroxide induced iron deposition.

Melatonin (MLT) is an important pineal hormone with tremendous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ru(II) catalyzed chelation assisted C(sp)-H bond functionalization along with concomitant (4 + 2) annulation.

Efficacious protocols have been established to synthesize a structurally privileged Π-extended coumarin-fused pyridone nucleus by activating the vinylic C(sp)-H bond of coumarin-3-carboxamide under the influence of inexpensive Ru(II)-metal. Here an -methoxy carboxamide entity has been exploited as the chelating fragment to manifest C(sp)-H bond functionalization with a concomitant (4 + 2) annulation reaction, resulting in heterocyclic ring-forming protocols along with sulfoxonium ylide and iodonium ylide as representative bench-stable carbene surrogates. This diverse heterocycle formation carbene insertion strategies, is further expanded to activate the -C(sp)-H bonds of different heterocycles by employing the sp-N moiety as the directing group to develop acyl-alkylated/alkenylated quinazolines, isoxazoles and highly fluorescent pyridone--oxides.

Electrochemically Enabled C4-H and C3-H Functionalization of 2-Phenyl Quinazoline and Quinoxaline through Dehydrogenative C-H/C-H, C-H/P-H, and C-H/O-H Cross-Coupling.

Quinazoline moieties and particularly C4-substituted quinazoline scaffolds are widely distributed in biologically active molecules, and thus, direct C4-functionalization of quinazolines is the most convenient way to materialize new, straightforward, and sustainable strategies for the synthesis of useful medicinal targets. Retrospecting that, effort has been directed toward electrocatalytic C4-H bond diversification of quinazoline and related electron-deficient N-heterocycles (quinoxaline) offering C4 and C3 benzoyl-, acetyl-, phenol-, ether-, phosphonate-, and nitroalkane-incorporated N-heterocycles via a radical addition pathway under sacrificial oxidant- and additive-free conditions. Various coupling partners and quinazolines, as well as other structurally similar heterocyclic motifs, respond well, providing moderate to high yields of coupled products along with the gram-scale upgradation.

Ionic liquids: environmentally sustainable materials for energy conversion and storage applications.

Ionic liquids (ILs), often known as green designer solvents, have demonstrated immense application potential in numerous scientific and technological domains. ILs possess high boiling point and low volatility that make them suitable environmentally benign candidates for many potential applications. The more important aspect associated with ILs is that their physicochemical properties can be effectively changed for desired applications just by tuning the structure of the cationic and/or anionic part of ILs.

Field and atom-based 3D-QSAR models of chromone (1-benzopyran-4-one) derivatives as MAO inhibitors.

Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are flavo-enzymes that aid in the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and epinephrine. MAO inhibitors are antidepressants that work by preventing the breakdown of brain neurotransmitters and regulating mood. MAO inhibitors that use the chromone (1-benzopyran-4-one) structure have been found to be quite effective in studies.

An Investigative Review for Pharmaceutical Analysis of Fenofibrate.

Elliptically polarized sum-frequency generation by total-internal-reflection-based optical rotation quasi-phase-matching technique.

This work demonstrates the elliptically polarized radiation of sum-frequency generation by the total-internal-reflection-based optical rotation quasi-phase-matching technique that allows polarization rotation in the presence of an external electric field across a rectangular-shaped, -coated, MgO-doped crystal. This thin film is employed to control the phase shifts generated by - and -polarized light propagation at each bounce point of the slab-film interface. The computer-aided simulation yielded a high conversion efficiency of 7.

Correction for 'Accessing oxy-functionalized N-heterocycles through rose bengal and TBHP integrated photoredox C(sp)-O cross-coupling' by Rahul Dev Mandal , 2022, , 2939-2963, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2OB00381C.

Accessing oxy-functionalized N-heterocycles through rose bengal and TBHP integrated photoredox C(sp)-O cross-coupling.

Herein, we report a practical and simple mono- and di-C(sp)-O cross-coupling of tautomerizable N-heterocycles (dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones, pyridone, quinoxalinone and pyrimidinone) with ketones, β-dicarbonyl compounds and nitroalkane, leading to substituted imidate derivatives under visible-light conditions. The combination of rose bengal as the photocatalyst and TBHP enables sustainable reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and high chemo- and regioselectivity with exceptional yields (up to 94%), good functional group tolerance and substrate generality. In the case of unsymmetrical ketones, the less substituted end is functionalized selectively.
