New 3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one-based triazole derivatives: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation as antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing agents.

A series of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives based on the quinoline-benzimidazole hybrid scaffold was designed, synthesized, and screened against a panel of NCI-60 humanoid cancer cell lines for in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation, which revealed that compound Q6 was the most potent cytotoxic agent with excellent GI , TGI, and LC values on multiple cancer cell lines. Q6 was tested further on the BT-474 breast cancer line to evaluate the mechanism of action. Preliminary screening studies based on the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay revealed that compound Q6 had an excellent antiproliferative effect against human breast cancer cells, BT-474, with IC values of 0.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of N-(4-substituted)-3-phenylisoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine derivatives as apoptosis-inducing cytotoxic agents.

A library of new 3-phenylisoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines (8-10) was designed based on a scaffold hybridization technique incorporating the important pharmacophoric features of 4-aminopyrimidine and phenyl isoxazole scaffold which is renowned for its BET inhibition activity. The designed molecules were synthesized and evaluated with the NCI-60 cell line panel. Examination by NCI-60 cell lines at single-dose and the five-dose study showed that compound 10h exhibited promising growth inhibitory effects with GI values on various cancer cell lines such as HCT-15 (Colon Cancer)-0.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of new chalcone linked 5-phenyl-3-isoxazolecarboxylic acid methyl esters potentially active against drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

In search of novel therapeutic agents active against emerging drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and to counter the long treatment protocol of existing drugs, herein we present synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of 5-phenyl-3-isoxazolecarboxylic acid methyl ester-chalcone hybrids. Among 35 synthesized compounds, 32 analogues displayed potent in-vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC 0.12-16 μg/mL.

Design, synthesis, in silico, and in vitro evaluation of 3-phenylpyrazole acetamide derivatives as antimycobacterial agents.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the most dangerous pathogens affecting immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients worldwide. Novel molecules, which are efficient and can reduce the duration of therapy against drug-resistant strains, are an urgent unmet need of the hour. In our current study, a series of new 2-(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetamide and N'-benzylidene-2-(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetohydrazide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antimycobacterial potential.

In vitro regeneration approaches for restoration of Ceropegia mohanramii-an endemic and critically endangered asclepiad.

The study aimed to develop an efficient, rapid, and large-scale in vitro regeneration system for propagation, conservation, and restoration of an endemic and critically endangered herb, Ceropegia mohanramii. The cultures were established using nodal explants on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP: 1.0 mg/l).

Highly efficient regeneration system has been developed for Burkill, an important herb used as substitute for . Shoot tips explants were cultured on MS medium with various phytohormones for multiple shoot production. The best shoot production frequency (100%) and maximum shoots (10.

Quantitative determination of three pentacyclic triterpenes from five Swertia L. species endemic to Western Ghats, India, using RP-HPLC analysis.

Aim of this study was to identify pentacyclic triterpenoids betulinic acid (BA), oleanolic acid (OA) and ursolic acid (UA) from five Swertia species endemic to Western Ghats, which are used as substitutes as well as adulterants to Swertia chirayita. Our results indicate that the concentration of active compound vary largely among and within the species from different localities. OA was found in a higher amount in all species compared to BA and UA.
