In an effort to discover potent antibacterials based on the entropically favored 'bioactive conformation' approach, a series of novel tricyclic molecules mimicking the conformationally constrained structure of Linezolid is reported. Based on the initial tricyclic molecule 1, the benzazepine derivative 2 was designed where the tricyclic structure had more flexibility around C-N bond compared to 1. While, the molecule 2 was less active, the molecule 3 showed promising antibacterial activity presumably after having obtained rigidity due to pyrrole ring. The syntheses, SAR studies, and evaluation of 3 as a lead compound are reported.

Background: In this study, two chalcone analogs were synthesized through in silico and experimental methods, and their potential to inhibit the lipoxygenase enzyme, which plays a role in the inflammation pathway, was assessed. Specifically, this study is a continuation of previous research in which chalcone derivatives were synthesized and characterized.
Objectives/methods: In the current work, we present the re-synthesis of two chalcones, with a focus on their docking studies, NMR analysis, and dynamic simulations.

Background: In the era of resistance, the design and search for new "small" molecules with a narrow spectrum of activity that target a protein or enzyme specific to a certain bacterium with high selectivity and minimal side effects remains an urgent problem of medicinal chemistry. In this regard, we developed and successfully implemented a strategy for the search for new hybrid molecules, namely, the not broadly known [2-(3-R-1-[1,2,4]-triazol-5-yl)phenyl]amines. They can act as "building blocks" and allow for the introduction of certain structural motifs into the desired final products in order to enhance the antistaphylococcal effect.

Background/objectives: New drugs are required for the treatment of liver cancers and protozoal parasite infections. Analogs of the known anticancer active and antileishmanial 2',4',6'-trimethoxychalcone SU086 were prepared and investigated.
Methods: The chalcones were prepared according to the Claisen-Schmidt condensation protocol and analyzed.
