Two binary complexes of Eu3+ and Tb3+ with 2-thiophene carboxylic acid and two ternary complexes of Eu3+ and Tb3+ with 2-thiophene carboxylic acid(L)-2, 2'-bipyridine were synthesized. By elemental analysis, rare earth coordination titration, and molar conductivities studies, the compositions of the complexes were suggested as REL3 x 2H2O and REL3L' x C2H5OH(RE=Eu, Tb, L = 2-thiophene carboxylic acid, L' = 2, 2'-bipyridine) respectively. The ligands and coordination compounds were studied by means of IR spectra, 1H NMR and fluorescence excitation and emission spectra. IR spectra and 1H NMR studies indicate that 2-thiophene carboxylic acid was bonded with RE(III) through oxygen atoms in the carboxyl group, and 2, 2'-bipyridine ligand was bonded to RE(III) through nitrogen atoms. The fluoresence spectra showed that the fluorescence emission intensity of ternary complexes was stronger than that of the binary complexes.

Background: 3,6-dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BT2) is a benzothiophene carboxylate derivative that can suppress the catabolism of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)-associated mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activation. Previous studies have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of BT2 on arthritis, liver cancer, and kidney injury. However, the effects of BT2 on ulcerative colitis (UC) are unknown.

Our previous studies on FabG have identified two compounds 5-bromo-2-(thiophene-2-carboxamido) benzoic acid (A) and ethyl 6-bromo-2-((dimethylamino)methyl)-5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate(B) as best hits with allosteric mode of inhibition. FabG is an integral part of bacterial fatty acid biosynthetic system FAS II shown to be an essential gene in most ESKAPE Pathogens. The current work is focussed on lead expansion of these two hit molecules which ended up with forty-three analogues (twenty-nine analogues from lead compound A and fourteen compounds from lead compound B).

Two microporous coordination polymers based on hourglass trinuclear building units, [Mn(bpdc)(bpy)]·2DMF and [Zn(bpdc)(bpy)]·2DMF·4HO (bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid, bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions employing DMF as the solvent. Each structure consists of two crystallographically distinct M (M1 and M2) centers that are connected via carboxylate bridges from six bpdc ligands, generating a trinuclear metal cluster, [M(bpdc)(bpy)]. Cluster representation of the structure resulted in an interpenetrated net of rare hex topological type.

Redox-active compounds such as copper-phenanthroline are known as artificial/chemical nucleases with a great impact and potential for their applications as metallotherapeutics. In that vein, the mononuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu(L)(bipy)] (1), [Cu(L)(bipy)(HO)] (2) and [Cu(L)(phen)(HO)] (3), where L = 2-thiophene carboxylate, bipy = 2,2΄-bipyridine and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, have been prepared and pharmacochemically studied, while the crystal structure of 1 is also reported. All the tested complexes preferably bind to CT-DNA via minor groove as resulted from UV spectroscopy studies, luminescent titration, EB competition assays and viscosity measurements.

The overproduction of nitric oxide in the brain by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases. Although inhibiting nNOS is an important therapeutic goal, it is important not to inhibit endothelial NOS (eNOS) because of the critical role played by eNOS in maintaining vascular tone. While it has been possible to develop nNOS selective aminopyridine inhibitors, many of the most potent and selective inhibitors exhibit poor bioavailability properties.
