Article Synopsis
  • A new method was developed for synthesizing 2-(quinolin-4-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinazoline compounds through the rearrangement of spiro[benzo[][1,4]diazepine-3,4'-quinolin]-2(1)-ones.
  • Attempts to create isomeric 2-(2-aminophenyl)-5-benzo[][1,4]diazepin-3(4)-one resulted in an unexpected transformation, leading to a novel compound called 6-methyl-8,13-dihydro-13a-quinazolino[4,3-]quinazolin-5-ium 13a-carboxylate.

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread chronic disease, and despite existing treatments, their side effects necessitate the search for new diabetes drugs.
  • This study tested two compounds, QS-528 and QS-619, on a diet-induced T2DM model in animals, finding that QS-619 effectively lowered blood sugar levels while QS-528 offered liver protection.
  • The research revealed that both compounds activate the free fatty acid receptor-1 (FFAR1), potentially working as full agonists and enhancing insulin and glucose-dependent hormones in mice.

The composition of an ethanol extract from the roots of Losinsk of the Trans-Ili Alatau wild flora was studied in order to determine its antiulcer activity. The phytochemical composition of the anthraquinone-flavonoid complex from (AFC) revealed the presence of numerous polyphenolic compounds, the most abundant of which are anthraquinones (1.77%), flavonoids (6.

  • In lab tests, shorter alkyl substitutes (C5 and C7) showed a stronger ability to stimulate glucose uptake in liver cells compared to longer ones (C10 and C12), while all derivatives performed better than the original berberine.
  • In animal studies, the C12 derivative improved glucose metabolism in mice over four weeks, yet it also caused liver damage indicators by the end of the experiment.

Article Synopsis
  • Novel 9-N-alkyltetrahydroberberine derivatives were created, and one particular compound with the longest aliphatic chain was chosen for testing on obese mice showing impaired glucose tolerance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
  • After administering this compound at a dose of 15 mg/kg for four weeks, the mice exhibited improved insulin sensitivity, lower fasting glucose levels, and better glucose tolerance during the OGTT.
  • The compound also decreased blood lactate and liver glucokinase levels without any toxic effects observed in the animals, suggesting that this derivative has significant hypoglycemic potential and encourages further research on similar compounds.

In terms of prevalence, thyroid pathology, associated both with a violation of the gland function and changes in its structure, occupies one of the main places in clinical endocrinology. The problem of developing low-toxic and highly effective herbal preparations for the correction of thyroid hypofunction and its complications is urgent. Salidroside is a glucoside of tyrosol, found mostly in the roots of spp.

A novel series of 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)quinoxalines with three types of pharmacophore groups, namely, piperazine, piperidine, and morpholine moieties, which are part of known antitumor drugs, was designed and synthesized. The compounds have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, high- and low-resolution mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. 2-(Benzimidazol-2-yl)quinoxalines with -methylpiperazine substituents showed promising activity against a wide range of cancer lines, without causing hemolysis and showing little cytotoxicity against normal human Wi-38 cells (human fetal lung).

Article Synopsis
  • Berberine is known for lowering blood glucose levels, but its effectiveness is hampered by a high required dose and poor absorption in the body.
  • Researchers created a new compound derived from berberine, called 9-(hexylamino)-2,3-methylenedioxy-10-methoxyprotoberberine chloride, which shows strong blood sugar-lowering properties.
  • In tests on obese mice with type 2 diabetes, this new compound improved insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, reduced body weight and fat, and positively affected liver and pancreatic health.

A novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of diversely substituted 2,2'-bibenzimidazoles from the reaction of 3-cyanoquinoxalin-2(1)-ones with 1,2-diaminobenzenes has been developed, which proceeds through sequential nucleophilic addition and electrophilic substitution followed by a Mamedov rearrangement. The synthetic utility of this strategy was illustrated by the concise, one-pot synthesis of 5,5'-bi(2,2'-bibenzimidazoles) and aza-analogues of 2,2'-bibenzimidazole.

We report on the electronic absorption spectra, conformational behavior, and intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds of 2,3-(dibenzimidazol-2-yl)-quinoxaline (DBIQ). The experimentally found strong solvent dependence of the absorption spectra of DBIQ solutions cannot be assigned to electronic excitations of the equilibrium ground-state DBIQ structure. Extended consideration including the nonequilibrium structures within the framework of ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) revealed the importance of torsion molecular motions not covered by the static case.

Multi-targeted approaches for inhibition of сervical cancer cells in vitro were developed by implementing two different strategies and drug combination for creation of new therapeutic target agents and for nanotechnological-enhancement of intracellular delivery. New 2-benzimidazolylquinoxalines derivatives were synthesized and characterized by combining two different pharmacophores - benzimidazole and quinoxaline rings directly bonded in their structures. Spectrophotometric technique for determination of content of compounds in various media was developed to evaluate their solubility in water and micellar solutions of surfactants.

A facile approach to a range of substituted 7-(benzimidazol-2-yl)thioxolumazines [7-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropteridin-4(1 H)-ones] and 7-(benzimidazol-2-yl)lumazines [7-(benzimidazol-2-yl)pteridine-2,4(1 H,3 H)-diones] is described. These new biheterocyclic systems are obtained via HSO-catalyzed rearrangement of quinoxalin-2-ones in the presence of 5,6-diamino-2-mercapto- and 2,5,6-triaminopyrimidin-4-ols. Thus, benzimidazole and pteridine rings are constructed in one synthetic step.

We report on the photophysical properties, conjugation, conformational behavior, intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) of a series of novel fluorophores, consisting of 3-arylquinoxaline and benzimidazole moieties linked by a single CC bond. Computations employing density functional theory (DFT) reveal that conjugation between these moieties stabilizes syn-conformers with two HB centers located on the same side of the molecule. Anti-conformers form stronger intermolecular HBs with DMSO and DMF than syn-conformers, and this influences the energy gap between syn- and anti-forms, especially upon excitation of the molecules to the S state.

The reaction of 3-benzoylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with enamines (generated in situ from ammonium acetate and the corresponding methylaryl(hetaryl)ketones) proceeds smoothly to give the corresponding substituted 1-(pyrrolyl)benzimidazolone derivatives in moderate yields through the novel rearrangement of 3-benzoylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones involving a dual cleavage of the C3═N4 and C2-C3 bonds under mild conditions.

A synthetically useful protocol has been developed for the preparation of highly functionalized N-pyrrolylbenzimidazol-2-ones. The reaction of variously substituted 3-aroyl- and 3-alkanoylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with commercially available enamines in acetic acid results in a rapid rearrangement and formation of N-pyrrolylbenzimidazol-2-ones in modest to excellent yields. The key step of the rearrangement involves the novel ring contraction of 3-aroyl- and 3-alkanoylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with enamines.
