Design and Synthesis of Various Aryl Amide Derivatives of Imidazo[1,5-a] Pyridine-1,2,4-Thiadiazoles: In Vitro Cytotoxicity Evaluation and In Silico Molecular Docking Studies.

A new series of various aryl amide derivatives of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-1,2,4-thiadiazoles (15a-j) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic profiles against four human cancer cell lines such as breast cancer (MCF-7), lung cancer (A549), colon cancer (Colo-205), and ovarian cancer (A2780), via the MTT assay, with etoposide as the standard known chemotherapeutic agent. Five compounds, 15a, 15b, 15c, 15f, and 15j, exhibited more potent cytotoxic effects than did etoposide. Among them, compound 15a exhibited potent cytotoxic effects against the MCF-7, A549, Colo-205, and A2780 cell lines, with IC values of 0.

Design, Synthesis, Anticancer Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Studies of Oxazole-Incorporated Naphthyridine Derivatives.

A novel series of oxazole incorporated naphthyridine (21 a-j) derivatives were designed and, synthesized followed by screening of their anticancer activity profiles against human breast cancer (MCF-7), human lung cancer (A549) and human prostate (PC3 & DU-145) cancer cell lines by employing MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide] assay using etoposide as the positive control. Of these compounds, N-(6-chloro-3-(4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)oxazol-2-yl)-1,5-naphthyridin-4-yl)oxazol-2-amine with 3,4,5-trimethoxy substituent on the aryl moiety attached to oxazole ring showed potent anticancer activity against PC3, A549, MCF-7, and DU-145 cell lines with IC values of 0.13±0.

Stereoselective total synthesis of Aspergillide D.

The total synthesis of the 16-membered Polyhydroxylated macrolide, Aspergillide D has been accomplished utilizing the Grignard reaction, Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation Regioselective ring opening of epoxy alcohol, Wittig olefination and Yamaguchi macrolactonisation as key steps. 3-butene-1-ol has been utilized as the starting material.

Green Biosynthesis, Antioxidant, Antibacterial, and Anticancer Activities of Silver Nanoparticles of Leaf Extract.

Studies on green biosynthesis of newly engineered nanoparticles for their prominent medicinal applications are being the torch-bearing concerns of the state-of-the-art research strategies. In this concern, we have engineered the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles of flavonoid -glycosides in the anisotropic form isolated from aqueous leave extracts of , a popular traditional and ayurvedic plant in south-east Asian countries. These were structurally confirmed by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy accessed with attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectral analyses followed by the scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) crystallographic studies and found them with the face-centered cubic () structure.
