The catalytic activity of chitosan (Cs) and grafted Cs led to the preparation of terephthalohydrazide Cs Schiff's base hydrogel (TCsSB), which was then investigated as an eco-friendly biocatalyst for synthesizing novel thiazole derivatives. TCsSB exhibited greater surface area and higher thermal stability compared to Cs, making it a promising eco-friendly biocatalyst. We synthesized two novel series of thiazoles via the reaction of 2-(2-oxo-1,2-diphenylethylidene) hydrazine-1-carbothioamide with various hydrazonoyl chlorides and 2-bromo-1-arylethan-1-ones, employing ultrasonic irradiation and using TCsSB as a catalyst.

Many biological activities of pyridine and thiazole derivatives have been reported, including antiviral activity and, more recently, as COVID-19 inhibitors. Thus, in this paper, we designed, synthesized, and characterized a novel series of -aminothiazole-hydrazineethyl-pyridines, beginning with a '-(1-(pyridine-3-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothiohydrazide derivative and various hydrazonoyl chlorides and phenacyl bromides. Their Schiff bases were prepared from the condensation of N-aminothiazole derivatives with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde.

Breast cancer is a major cause of death in women worldwide. In this study, 60 female rats were classified into 6 groups; negative control, -aminophosphonates, arylidine derivatives of 3-acetyl-1-aminoquinolin-2()-one, DMBA, DMBA & -aminophosphonates, and DMBA & arylidine derivatives of 3-acetyl-1-aminoquinolin-2()-one. New -aminophosphonates and arylidine derivatives of 3-acetyl-1-aminoquinolin-2()-one were synthesized and elucidated by different spectroscopic and elemental analysis.

Background: Pyrazole and its derivatives are known to exhibit significant biological and pharmacological activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-glycemic, antiamoebic, and antidepressive. Considering the immense biological properties, pyrazole is one of the most widely studied nitrogen- containing heterocyclic nuclei. Fused pyrazole derivatives are composed of the pyrazole nucleus attached to other heterocyclic moieties.

Background: Pyridopyrimidines are of current interest because of their extensive variety of biological and pharmacological activities.

Results: A series of pyrido[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazinones was obtained by aminomethylation of pyridopyrimidinethione with formaldehyde solution (37%) and different primary aromatic amines. Another series of pyrido[2',3:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazinones was prepared by Michael addition reaction of pyridopyrimidinethione to the activated double bond of a number of arylidene malononitrile and 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethylene)malononitrile.

Coumarin derivatives containing pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and thiazoles were synthesized from 6-bromo-3-(3-(dimethylamino)acryloyl)-2H-chromen-2-one, methyl 2-(1-(6-bromo-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)hydrazine carbodithioate, 2-(1-(6-bromo-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene) hydrazine carbothioamide and each of heterocyclic amine, hydrazonoyl chlorides and hydroximoyl chlorides. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of elemental analysis, spectral data, and alternative synthetic routes whenever possible. Moreover, selected newly synthesized products were evaluated for their antitumor activity against a liver carcinoma cancer cell line (HEPG2-1).
