The synthesis of novel 2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-one derivatives has been carried out using trifluoroacetic anhydride/phosphoric acid mediated C-C bond forming reaction as a key step. This method does not require the use of environmentally harmful AlCl(3) or moisture sensitive acid chloride. A number of compounds containing the benzooxazinone moiety attached to a five-membered central heterocyclic ring was synthesized and tested for their anti-cancer properties in vitro against three cell lines e.g. A549 (lung), DLD-1 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) and MV4-11 (acute myeloid leukemia). Some of them showed anti-cancer activities along with a number of reference compounds tested. Few of them showed promising anti-leukemic properties. A brief Structure-Activity-Relationship study within the series is presented. An imidazole derivative 9c containing benzene ring with a para-CF(3) group at C-2 position was identified as a potent anti-leukemic agent.

Introduction: The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens necessitates the urgent development of new antibacterial agents. Concurrently, synthetic chemistry is moving towards more sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact. This study aims to synthesize 3-aryl-2-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-one derivatives, including the natural product cephalandole A, using a sustainable approach that avoids metal catalysts.

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne, parasitic disease affecting millions of people and animals worldwide. Current therapeutic options have proven to be ineffective in both treating the disease and preventing its spread. As a result, new drugs must be developed to effectively combat this disease.

Background: Facultative bacterial endosymbionts have the potential to influence the interactions between aphids, their natural enemies, and host plants. Among the facultative symbionts found in populations of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae in central Chile, the bacterium Regiella insecticola is the most prevalent. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether infected and cured aphid lineages exhibit differential responses to wheat cultivars containing varying levels of the benzoxazinoid DIMBOA (2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one), which is a xenobiotic compound produced by plants.

Herein, we report the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel (E)-3-(3-oxo-4-substituted-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-6-yl)-N-hydroxypropenamides (4 a-i, 7 a-g) targeting histone deacetylases. Three human cancer cell lines were used to test the cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds (SW620, colon; PC-3, prostate; NCI-H23, lung cancer); inhibitory activity towards HDAC; anticancer activity; as well as their impact on the cell cycle and apoptosis. As a result, compounds 4 a-i bearing the alkyl substituents seemed to be less potent than the benzyl-containing compounds 7 a-g in all biological assays.
