N-Substituted aminomethylphenol (Mannich base) and 3,4-dihydro-2H-3-substituted 1,3-benzoxazine (benzoxazine) were synthesized from substituted phenol (p-cresol, phenol, p-chlorophenol), substituted aniline (p-toluidine, aniline, p-chloroaniline) and formaldehyde to study influence of substituent on equilibrium of benzoxazine synthesis from Mannich base and formaldehyde. (1)H-NMR and charges of nitrogen and oxygen atoms illustrate effect of substituent on reactivity of Mannich base, while oxazine ring stability is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and C-O bond order. Equilibrium constants were tested from 50 °C to 80 °C, and the results show that substituent attached to phenol or aniline has same impact on reactivity of Mannich base; however, it has opposite influence on oxazine ring stability and equilibrium constant. Compared with the phenol-aniline system, electron-donating methyl on phenol or aniline increases the charge of nitrogen and oxygen atoms in Mannich base. When the methyl group is located at para position of phenol, oxazine ring stability increases, and the equilibrium constant climbs, whereas when the methyl group is located at the para position of aniline, oxazine ring stability decreases, the benzoxazine hydrolysis tends to happen and equilibrium constant is significantly low.

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).

A phenolic Mannich base derived from 1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone (HAN) as a substrate and morpholine as an amine reagent was synthesized and structurally characterized. The sensing ability toward various metal ions of the s-, p- and d-block of this molecule that has the binding site for metal ions in the starting -hydroxyphenone preserved was examined. Interaction between this phenolic Mannich base and Al, Cr, Cu and Co leads to modifications of the sensing molecule's absorption spectrum.

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.
