Design, Synthesis, and Anti-Mycobacterial Evaluation of Triclosan-Isoniazid Hybrids.

A series of Triclosan-based hybrids and their Schiff base derivatives with isoniazid were designed through in silico modeling and synthesized using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. These compounds were then evaluated against both Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab). However, none of the synthesized hybrids exhibited significant growth inhibition, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values consistently exceeding 100 µg/mL.

Design, synthesis and mechanistic exploration of anti-plasmodial Indolo[2,3-]quinoxaline-7-chloroquinoline hybrids.

The aim of this study is to synthesize indolo[2,3-]quinoxaline-4-aminoquinoline-based hybrids and evaluate their effectiveness against chloroquine-susceptible (3D7) and resistant (W2) strains, with expected inhibition of chloroquine resistance transporter (CRT) and heme. The hybrids were synthesized and evaluated against both susceptible and resistant strains. Molecular docking and studies were conducted to assess the binding affinities for the CRT protein.

Design, synthesis and mechanistic insights into triclosan derived dimers as potential anti-plasmodials.

In pursuit of novel anti-plasmodial agents, a library of triclosan-based dimers both with and without a 1-1,2,3 triazole core were designed and synthesized in order to achieve a multitargeted approach. assessment against chloroquine-susceptible (3D7) and resistant (W2) strains identified that two of the synthesized dimers containing triazole were the most potent in the series. The most potent of the synthesized compounds exhibited IC values of 9.

Rational Design and Synthesis of Isatin-Chalcone Hybrids Integrated with 1H-1,2,3-Triazole: Anti-Proliferative Profiling and Molecular Docking Insights.

In this study, a series of isatin-chalcone linked triazoles were synthesized using Cu-promoted Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. The most potent compound displayed approximately 2.5 times greater activity compared to both reference compounds against ovarian cancer cell lines.

Sustainable Harnessing of Waste Polycarbonate for Synthesizing Activated Furans to Generate Stenhouse Adducts on Polymer Surface.

Plastics are versatile materials, offering lightweight, durable, and affordable solutions across various industries. However, their non-degradable nature poses challenges by end of their life. This study presented an innovative carbonyl extraction method to utilize waste poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) as reaction precursor to synthesis of activated furan as precursor for photoswitchable Stenhouse adducts.

Isatin-indoloquinoxaline click adducts with a potential to overcome platinum-based drug-resistance in ovarian cancer.

Herein, a series of isatin tethered indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline hybrids was synthesized by considering the pharmacophoric features of known DNA intercalators and topoisomerase II inhibitors. The anti-proliferative properties of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV-3 and Hey A8). Four of the compounds exhibited promising anti-proliferative activities, with one of them being 10-fold more potent than cisplatin against drug-resistant Hey A8 cells.

Quinoline-based heterocyclic hydrazones: Design, synthesis, anti-plasmodial assessment, and mechanistic insights.

A library of quinoline-based hydrazones bearing 1H-1,2,3-triazole core was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiplasmodial activity against the drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum W2 strain. The inclusion of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid with a flexible propyl spacer afforded the most active scaffold with an IC value of 0.26 μM.

Synthesis, Anti-Plasmodial Activities, and Mechanistic Insights of 4-Aminoquinoline-Triazolopyrimidine Hybrids.

In the search of new antiplasmodial agents, a multitargeted approach was used in the synthesis of triazolopyrimidine- and 4-aminoquinolines-based hybrids. antiplasmodial evaluation on chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and -resistant (W2) strains identified triazolopyrimidine-4-aminoquinoline hybrids to be the most potent in the series, outperforming bis-triazolopyrimidines. The active compounds were subjected to mechanistic studies with the plausible and expected targets including heme, PfCRT, and PfDHODH, that eventually validated the biological data.

A Mini Review on Isatin, an Anticancer Scaffold with Potential Activities against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).

Isatin, chemically an indole-1-2,3-dione, is recognised as one of the most attractive therapeutic fragments in drug design and development. The template has turned out to be exceptionally useful for developing new anticancer scaffolds, as evidenced by the increasing number of isatin-based molecules which are either in clinical use or in trials. Apart from its promising antiproliferative properties, isatin has shown potential in treating Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) not only as a parent core, but also by attenuating the activities of various pharmacophores.

Synthesis and antiplasmodial evaluation of 1H-1,2,3-triazole grafted 4-aminoquinoline-benzoxaborole hybrids and benzoxaborole analogues.

A library of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-tethered 4-aminoquinoline-benzoxaborole hybrids as well as aryl substituted benzoxaborole analogues was synthesized and screened for their anti-plasmodial efficacy against both chloroquine-susceptibility 3D7 and chloroquine-resistant W2 strains of P. falciparum. The inclusion of quinoline core among the synthesized analogues resulted in substantial enhancement of anti-plasmodial activities.
