A new Heck-type reaction for the synthesis of chalcones has been established using Mannich bases as enone precursors. The novel reaction proceeds rapidly in air atmosphere under ligandless conditions and can be adapted for library synthesis in a parallel reactor station. Screening of the synthesized chalcones revealed N-{4-[(1E)-3-oxo-3-(3-pyridinyl)-1-propenyl]phenyl}benzamide (3f) to be a potent anti-leishmanial agent.

Pyruvate kinase M2, a central regulator of cancer cell metabolism, has garnered significant attention as a promising target for disrupting the metabolic adaptability of tumor cells. This study explores the potential of the Mannich base derived from lawsone () to interfere with PKM2 enzymatic activity both in vitro and in silico. The antiproliferative potential of was tested using MTT assay in various cell lines, including SCC-9, Hep-G2, HT-29, B16-F10, and normal human gingival fibroblast (HGF).

Drug resistance is a major obstacle in cancer treatment. Herein, four novel organometallic complexes, with the general formula [Ru(η--cymene)(HL)Cl]Cl and [Rh(η-CMe)(HL)Cl]Cl, were developed to target multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells, where HL denotes 8-hydroxyquinoline-derived Mannich bases (HQCl-pyr and HQCl-pip). The aim of the complexation was to obtain compounds with improved drug-like properties.

Free radicals are ubiquitous in biological systems, being responsible for pathogenesis of degenerative diseases and participating in vitally important biochemical processes, which are mediated by radical regulatory agents. The effects of the aliphatic amine substituents in the catechol-derived Mannich bases on their antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity were investigated. It has been found that the presence of catechol moiety in the structure of Mannich bases allows them to act as Cu(II) reductants, efficient Fe(II) chelators and potent DPPH radical scavengers.

Article Synopsis
- A new method was created to trap certain chemical intermediates (benzopyrone-based ortho-quinone methides) using 3- and 5-amino pyrazoles or isoxazoles.
- Various hybrid compounds were synthesized from natural phenolic Mannich bases and flavonoids, such as coumarin and isoflavone, with moderate to good yields depending on the position of the amino group.
- Some of the resulting compounds, especially those with 5-aminoisoxazole, showed the ability to inhibit α-glucosidase, demonstrating potential biological activity with micromolar IC values.
Synthesis and Fungicidal Activity Evaluation of Novel Triazole Thione/Thioether Derivatives Containing a Pyridylpyrazole Moiety.

Compounds containing N-pyridylpyrazole motif have aroused interest and brought about research hotspots due to their highly-efficient insecticidal activity. The fungicidal potential of N-pyridylpyrazole derivatives has gradually been disclosed in recent years. To discover new agrochemicals with poly-heterocyclic features, a series of novel triazole thione/thioether derivatives containing pyridylpyrazole motif (8-11) was synthesized.
