The first organocatalytic asymmetric inverse-electron-demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (IED 1,3-DC) of N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines has been established in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid. This approach assembles N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines and o-hydroxystyrenes into chiral N,N-bicyclic pyrazolidin-3-one derivatives with the creation of two stereogenic centers, one of which is quaternary, in excellent diastereoselectivities and good enantioselectivities (up to >95:5 dr, 88:12 er). The investigation of the activation mode of the reaction revealed that the dual hydrogen-bonding interaction between the two substrates and the catalyst together with the conjugative effect initiated by the o-hydroxyl group played a crucial role in the designed IED 1,3-DC. This study will not only greatly enrich the underdeveloped research potential of catalytic asymmetric IED 1,3-DCs but will also facilitate the design of other enantioselective IED 1,3-DCs based on different activation modes.

A novel molecular design based on a quinazolinone scaffold was developed the attachment of aryl alkanesulfonates to the quinazolinone core through a thioacetohydrazide azomethine linker, leading to a new series of quinazolinone-alkanesulfonates 5a-r. The antimicrobial properties of the newly synthesized quinazolinone derivatives 5a-r were investigated to examine their bactericidal and fungicidal activities against bacterial pathogens like , (Gram-positive), , , (Gram-negative), in addition to (unicellular fungal). The tested compounds demonstrated reasonable bactericidal activities compared to standard drugs.

The asymmetric Schiff base prepared from ethylenediamine and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde reacts with Fe(ClO)·6HO to form the Fe(II) complex [FeL](ClO) with L = ,-diethyl-'-(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine, where the Fe(III) starting material has been unexpectedly reduced to Fe(II). This complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction measurements, variable temperature DC magnetic measurement and room temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy. The asymmetric ligand L coordinates in a tridentate fashion through its pyridyl, azomethine and amino nitrogen atoms, generating a distorted octahedral geometry around the central metal ion.

Aims: The aim of this study is the evaluation of an Azomethine derivative, BCS2, for its antioxidant and anti-tumor activities against mammary carcinoma through the Nrf2- Keap1-HO-1 pathway.

Background: The global prevalence of breast cancer is rising at an alarming rate. The facilitation of abnormal cell proliferation in mammary carcinoma occurs due to the disruption of signaling pathways that balance pro- and antioxidant status, thereby producing oxidative stress that disrupts genomic stability.

: Breast cancer influences more than 2 million women worldwide annually. Since apoptotic dysregulation is a cancer hallmark, targeting apoptotic regulators encompasses strategic drug development for cancer therapy. One such class of apoptotic regulators is inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAP) which are a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases that actively function to support cancer growth and survival.
