Synthesis and in vitro α-glucosidase and cholinesterases inhibitory actions of water-soluble metallophthalocyanines bearing ({6-[3-(diethylamino)phenoxy]hexyl}oxy groups.

In this paper, we have prepared peripherally tetra-({6-[3-(diethylamino)phenoxy]hexyl}oxy substituted cobalt(II), copper(II), manganese(III) phthalocyanines ( and their water-soluble derivatives (. Then, in vitro α-glucosidase and cholinesterases inhibitory actions of the water-soluble were examined using spectrophotometric methods. had the highest inhibitory effects among the tested compounds against α-glucosidase due to IC values.

Recent studies of nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds as novel antiviral agents: A review.

N-heterocycles are important, not only because of their abundance, but above all because of their chemical, biological and technical significance. They play an important role in biological investigation such as anticancer, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-tumor, antidiabetic, etc. In this study, we focused on examining synthesized some 5- or 6-ring N-heterocyclic compounds that showed the antiviral activity in last 5 years, and investigation of these compounds structure-activity relationship studies.

Synthesis of nonperipherally tetra-[5-(diethylamino)-2-formylphenoxy] substituted metallophthalocyanines and their electrochemistry.

3-[5-(diethylamino)-2-formylphenoxy]phthalonitrile ( ), metallophthalocyanines , , and bearing [5-(diethylamino)-2-formylphenoxy] groups at nonperipheral positions were prepared for the first time. These compounds were characterized with IR, NMR (only for ), mass and UV-vis (except ) spectroscopy. Voltammetric characterizations of , , and revealed that while , , and showed characteristic Pc ring and/or metal-based reduction reaction, , , and were coated on the working electrode during the oxidation processes owing to the cationic electropolymerizations of the [5-(diethylamino)-2-formylphenoxy] substituents.

Novel water soluble BODIPY compounds: Synthesis, photochemical, DNA interaction, topoisomerases inhibition and photodynamic activity properties.

In this study, BODIPY compounds (2, 3, 5 and 6) bearing 3,4-bis(3-pyridin-3-ylpropoxy)benzyl, 4-(3-pyridin-3-ylpropoxy)benzyl groups were synthesized for the first time and further functionalized in a Knoevenagel condensation reaction with 3,4-bis(3-pyridin-3-ylpropoxy)benzaldehyde and 4-(3-pyridin-3-ylpropoxy)benzaldehyde. The water soluble derivatives of BODIPY compounds (3a and 6a) were synthesized by treating BODIPY compounds 3 and 6 with excess iodomethane in DMF. The photochemical properties and DNA binding modes of 3a and 6a were determined using ct-DNA by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and viscometer.

Triazole substituted metal-free, metallo-phthalocyanines and their water soluble derivatives as potential cholinesterases inhibitors: Design, synthesis and in vitro inhibition study.

In this study, 1,2,3-triazole substituted metal-free and metallo phthalocyanines (4, 5, 6) and their water soluble derivatives (4a, 5a, 6a) were designed, synthesized for the first time and tested in vitro on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. Most phthalocyanines exhibited good inhibitory activities on these enzymes. Among the six phthalocyanines and starting compounds, 4a showed the most interesting profile as a submicromolar selective inhibitor of AChE (IC = 0.

Design, Synthesis, Characterization and Electrochemical Properties of BODIPY Dyes Containing Mono, Bis-2-Naphthyloxyhexyloxy and 4-(Benzyloxy)Phenoxyhexyloxy Groups.

In this study, the synthesis of boron dipyrromethene dyes containing mono, bis-2-naphthyloxyhexyloxy and 4-(benzyloxy)phenoxyhexyloxy groups has been reported. Boron dipyrromethene dyes were synthesized from the mono, bis-benzaldehyde derivatives with 2,4-dimethylpyrrole in dichloromethane in the presence of trifluoroacetic, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinon, triethyl amine and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate, respectively. Electrochemical characterization of boron dipyrromethene dyes were carried out with voltammetric measurements.
