Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel 1,2,3-triazole-conjugates of quinazolin-4-ones.

A novel series of diethyl{4-[(4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}alkylphosphonates 9aa-aj and their respective derivatives substituted at C6 of the quinazolinone moiety with a bromine atom (9ba-bj) or a nitro group (9ca-cj) were synthesized and assessed for the antibacterial activity toward selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Their antifungal activity was also screened. Compound 9ac was found to be the most active against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6535 (MIC 0.

Abuse of fentanyl: An emerging problem to face.

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid used as a narcotic analgesic supplement in general and regional anesthesia as well as in management of persistent, severe chronic pain. Alarming epidemiological and forensic medicine reports, accumulated mainly during the last two decades, point to a growing increase in illicit use of fentanyl, mainly in North America and Europe. Toxicological data indicates that fentanyl use is inextricably linked with polydrug use.

Synthesis and the Biological Activity of Phosphonylated 1,2,3-Triazolenaphthalimide Conjugates.

A novel series of diethyl {4-[(5-substituted-1,3-dioxo-1-benzo[]isoquinolin-2(3)-yl)-methyl]-1-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}alkylphosphonates designed as analogues of amonafide was synthesized. All phosphonates were assessed for antiviral activity against a broad range of DNA and RNA viruses and several of them showed potency against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) [EC (50% effective concentration) = 27.6-91.
