Some derivatives of benzimidazole were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of 2-substituted-1H-benzimidazole. The resulting ethyl (2-substituted-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl) acetate on treatment with hydrazine hydrate yielded 2-(2-substituted-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl) acetohydrazide, which on further reaction with one equivalent of different aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphoryl chloride afforded the corresponding target compounds, 2-substituted-1-[{(5-substituted alkyl/aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl} methyl]-1H-benzimidazole. The structures of the synthesized compounds were evaluated by spectral and elemental methods of analyses. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities. All of the derivatives showed good activity towards Gram-positive bacteria and negligible activity towards Gram-negative bacteria. Some of the synthesized compounds showed moderate activity against tested fungi.

Cinnamic Acid Sugar Ester Derivatives (CASEDs) are a class of natural compounds that exhibit several interesting biological activities. However, to date, no examples of their use in sunscreen formulations have been reported. Here, we describe the synthesis of a series of novel cinnamic acid esters of glucose (4a-g), ribose (4h) and lactose (4i) starting from the respective acetals 3.

To date, the abuse of antibiotics and a gradual decline in novel antibiotic discovery enlarge the threat of drug-resistant bacterial infections, especially methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Herein, inspired by the unique structures and antibacterial activities of 2-quinolones, a class of novel 2-quinolones with substituted pyridines was synthesized. Notably, compound , the derivative with a methylpyridine fragment, showed potent antibacterial and antibiofilm activities, especially for MRSA strains (MIC = 0.

Two new rare earth borate NLO crystals, KNaSrYBO and RbBaLuBO, were successfully designed and synthesized, which feature NLO-active [BO] groups and [Y/LuO] polyhedra. They exhibit notably short UV absorption cutoff edges below 200 nm, wide band gaps exceeding 6.2 eV, and strong second-harmonic generation intensities that are comparable to KDP.

Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) is an important therapeutic target for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment due to its overexpression in NSCLC cells. In this work, to address the deficiency that sesquiterpene lactone containing α-methylene-γ-lactone moiety was rapidly metabolized by endogenous nucleophiles, series of novel thioether derivatives were designed and synthesized based on a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered prodrug strategy. Among them, prodrug exhibited potent cytotoxicity against NSCLC cells and better release rates in response to ROS.

This study introduces a new method for synthesizing Cu-containing metastable phases through ion exchange. Traditionally, CuCl has been used as a Cu ion source for solid-state ion exchanges; however, its thermodynamic driving force is often insufficient for complete ion exchange with Li-containing precursors. First-principles calculations have identified CuSO and CuPO as more powerful alternatives, providing a higher driving force than CuCl.
