An important component of the pathogenicity of potentially pathogenic bacteria in humans is the urease enzyme. In order to avoid the detrimental impact of ureolytic bacterial infections, the inhibition of urease enzyme appears to be an appealing approach. Therefore, in the current study, morpholine-thiophene hybrid thiosemicarbazone derivatives () were designed, synthesized and characterized through FTIR, H NMR, C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

To overcome the deleterious effects of bacterial infections, inhibition of urease enzyme is one of the promising approaches. The current study is designed to synthesize new 1,2-benzothiazine--arylacetamide derivatives () that can effectively provide a new drug candidate to avoid bacterial infections by urease inhibition.

The multifactorial nature of Alzheimer's disease is a reason for the lack of effective drugs as well as a basis for the development of new structural leads. In addition, the appalling side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, and headaches associated with the marketed treatment modalities and many failed clinical trials significantly limit the use of drugs and alarm for a detailed understanding of disease heterogeneity and the development of preventive and multifaceted remedial approach desperately.

After characterization by FTIR, H NMR, C NMR and elemental analyses, the newly synthesized analogues were investigated against monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAO A and MAO B). The titled compounds exhibited activity in the lower micromolar range among which 9e was the most potent compound against MAO A with IC of 1.

The limited pharmacological approaches based on cholinesterase inhibitors only provide symptomatic relief to AD patients. Moreover, the adverse side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, and headaches associated with these drugs and numerous clinical trial failures present substantial limitations on the use of medications and call for a detailed insight of disease heterogeneity and development of preventive and multifactorial therapeutic strategies on urgent basis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFP2X receptors have the ability to regulate various physiological functions like neurotransmission, inflammatory responses, and pain sensation. Such physiological properties make these receptors a new target for the treatment of pain and inflammation. Several antagonists of P2X receptors have been studied for the treatment of neuropathic pain and neurodegenerative disorders but potency and selectivity are the major issues with these known inhibitors.

Twenty new 6-methyl-1-pyrazolo[3,4-]quinoline substituted -acylhydrazones (-) were synthesized from 2-chloro-6-methylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde () in four steps. 2-Chloro-6-methylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (1) afforded 6-methyl-1-pyrazolo[3,4-]quinoline (), which upon -alkylation yielded 2-(6-methyl-1-pyrazolo[3,4-]quinolin-1-yl)acetate ().
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAlzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by central cognitive dysfunction, memory loss, and intellectual decline poses a major public health problem affecting millions of people around the globe. Despite several clinically approved drugs and development of anti-Alzheimer's heterocyclic structural leads, the treatment of AD requires safer hybrid therapeutics with characteristic structural and biochemical properties. In this endeavor, we herein report a microwave-assisted synthesis of a library of quinoline thiosemicarbazones endowed with a piperidine moiety, achieved via the condensation of 6/8-methyl-2-(piperidin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carbaldehydes and (un)substituted thiosemicarbazides.

These novel thioethers 6(a-l) were later screened against aldehyde reductase (ALR1) and aldose reductase (ALR2). Beside the enzyme inhibition studies, the compounds were also tested against cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa).

These new scaffolds were further evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibition potentials. All the derivatives exhibited good to excellent results which were comparable or even better than of standard drug acarbose.
