Phytotoxic and Cytogenetic Assessment of Glycerol Triazole Derivatives in Model Plants and Weeds.

Weed invasion represents a challenge for farmers, who typically manage it with herbicides. However, this approach raises concerns about environmental and human health, as well as increasing resistance in these plants with continued use. Therefore, exploring alternative methods, such as heterocyclic compounds, triazoles, is essential due to their biological and environmental relevance.

Synthesis of vanillin derivatives with 1,2,3-triazole fragments and evaluation of their fungicide and fungistatic activities.

Vanillin is the main component of natural vanilla extract and is responsible for its flavoring properties. Besides its well-known applications as an additive in food and cosmetics, it has also been reported that vanillin can inhibit fungi of clinical interest, such as Candida spp., Cryptococcus spp.

Discovery of novel West Nile Virus protease inhibitor based on isobenzonafuranone and triazolic derivatives of eugenol and indan-1,3-dione scaffolds.

The West Nile Virus (WNV) NS2B-NS3 protease is an attractive target for the development of therapeutics against this arboviral pathogen. In the present investigation, the screening of a small library of fifty-eight synthetic compounds against the NS2-NB3 protease of WNV is described. The following groups of compounds were evaluated: 3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones; eugenol derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazolic functionalities; and indan-1,3-diones with 1,2,3-triazolic functionalities.

Synthesis and leishmanicidal activity of eugenol derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazole functionalities.

In this paper, it is described the synthesis and the evaluation of the leishmanicidal activity of twenty-six eugenol derivatives bearing 1,2,3-triazole functionalities. The evaluation of the compounds on promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis (WHOM/BR/75/Josefa) showed that eugenol derivatives present leishmanicidal activities with varying degrees of effectiveness. The most active compound, namely 4-(3-(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl)-1-(4-methylbenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (7k) (IC = 7.
