Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the elderly population globally and there is an urgent demand for developing novel anti-AD agents. In this study, a new series of indole-isoxazole carbohydrazides were designed and synthesized. The structure of all compounds was elucidated using spectroscopic methods including FTIR, H NMR, and C NMR as well as mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFluorine-containing small molecules have occupied a special position in drug discovery research. The successful clinical use of fluorinated corticosteroids in the 1950s and fluoroquinolones in the 1980s led to an ever-increasing number of approved fluorinated compounds over the last 50 years. They have shown various biological properties such as antitumor, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities.

The structures of all compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and CHNOS techniques. The tyrosinase inhibitory activities of all synthesized derivatives 5a-m were determined against mushroom tyrosinase and it was found that derivative 5c possesses the best inhibition with an IC value of 69.

Aims And Objective: In this study, an attempt was made to synthesize, characterize, and develop many applications of functionalized rare metal oxide nanoparticles. Herein, a new strategy for drug delivery is developed to functionalize magnetite nanoparticles to improve their performances in the delivery of celecoxib.
Materials And Methods: Magnetite FeO@SiO nanoparticles are synthesized by the sol-gel method.
In this work, various imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines linked to carbamate moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Among synthesized compounds, 4-(3-(tert-Butylamino)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)phenyl p-tolylcarbamate (6d) was the most potent compound (IC = 75.6 µM) compared with acarbose as the reference drug (IC = 750.

Tamoxifen has been the first-line adjuvant endocrine therapy in pre- and postmenopausal patients with ER + breast cancer for two decades. However, due to its side effects, interest in using anticancer agents derived from natural foods has increased.

As AD is a multifactorial illness, various single target directed drugs that have reached clinical trials have failed. Therefore, various factors associated with outset of AD have been considered in targeted drug discovery.

Our results revealed that the anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds was selectively affected by the presence of methoxy group on the linker between quinazolinone and 1,2,3-triazole moieties. According to the calculated IC values, compounds 6q, 6w, and 6x showed good cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines even more effective than the reference drug, etoposide.
