Eight new hybrid constructs containing a series of sulfonamide and 1,2,3-triazole units were designed and synthesized. Anticancer, antioxidant and cholinesterase activities of these hybrid structures were investigated. In our design, the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction between N,4-dimethyl-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide () and aryl azides was used.

A novel donepezil-caffeic acid (DP-CA) hybrid molecule was designed, synthesis, and investigated by molecular modeling. Its biological activity and protective effect were investigated by the IR spectroscopy, H and C NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. DP-CA was highly active against acetylcholine esterase and inhibited it at the micromolar concentrations.

In this study, eight new compounds (7a-h) based on triazole compounds containing ester groups were synthesized with high yields. The structures of the synthesized compounds (7a-h) were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods (element analysis, FT-IR, H-(C) NMR). Antioxidant, anticancer, and α-amylase enzyme inhibition activities of synthesized new triazole derivatives were carried out, and the effects of different groups on the activity were investigated.

This study reports the synthesis and characterization of a novel class of flavonoid acetamide derivatives (FA) of quercetin, apigenin, fisetin, kaempferol, and luteolin. Flavonoids display numerous biological properties but are limited by aqueous insolubility, enzymatic degradation, instability, and low bioavailability. FAs were synthesized, with 80-82% yields, through the sequential modification of the flavonoid hydroxyl groups into the acetamide moieties.

In this work, eight new 1,2,3-triazoles () were synthesized from acetylenes' "click" reaction with -substituted azide derivatives. The structures of the compounds were characterized using standard analytical and spectroscopic methods (elemental analysis, FT-IR, H(C)NMR). The anticancer, antioxidant, α-amylase, ADME, molecular docking studies of synthesized triazoles were investigated.

Four new diarylmethylamine imine compounds (5a-5d) were prepared in order to examine their DNA binding properties, antimicrobial activity and molecular docking. The compounds were characterized by the common spectroscopic and analytic methods. Furthermore, solid-state structure of compounds 5a and 5c were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

Flavonoids exhibit essential but limited biological properties which can be enhanced through chemical modifications. In this study, we designed, synthesized, and characterized two novel flavonoid derivatives, quercetin penta-acetamide (1S3) and apigenin tri-acetamide (2S3). These compounds were confirmed using (H, C) NMR, UV-Vis, and FT-IR characterizations.

The demand for safer design and synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is on the increase with the ultimate goal of producing clean nanomaterials for biological applications. We hereby present a rapid, greener, and photochemical synthesis of gold nanoplates with sizes ranging from 10 to 200 nm using water-soluble quercetin diphosphate (QDP) macromolecules. The synthesis was achieved in water without the use of surfactants, reducing agents, or polymers.
