Background: Azaheterocycles are an important class of compounds because of their highly potent medicinal activities, and the imidazole subcategory is of special interest in regard to drug discovery research.
Findings: An expeditious synthetic protocol of 2-aryl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazoles has been accomplished by reacting phenylglyoxal monohydrate, ammonium acetate, and aldehyde under sonication. Following this green approach a series of 2-aryl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazoles has been synthesized using diversely substituted aldehydes.
Conclusions: A rapid and simple synthetic procedure to synthesize diversely substituted 2-aryl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazoles has been reported. Other salient features of this protocol include milder conditions, atom-economy, easy extraction, and minimum wastes. The present procedure may find application in the synthesis of biologically active molecules. Graphical Abstract An expeditious synthetic protocol of 2-aryl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazoles has been accomplished by reacting phenylglyoxal monohydrate, ammonium acetate, and diversely substituted aldehydes under sonication.

It is established that reverse hydroxamate analogs of fosmidomycin inhibit the growth of by inhibiting 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR), the second enzyme of the non-mevalonate pathway, which is absent in humans. Recent biochemical studies have demonstrated that novel reverse fosmidomycin analogs with phenylalkyl substituents at the hydroxamate nitrogen exhibit inhibitory activities against DXR at the nanomolar level. Moreover, crystallographic analyses have revealed that the phenyl moiety of the -phenylpropyl substituent is accommodated in a previously unidentified subpocket within the active site of DXR.

The serine/threonine kinase CK2 (formerly known as casein kinase II) plays a crucial role in various CNS disorders and is highly expressed in various types of cancer. Therefore, inhibiting this key kinase could be promising for the treatment of these diseases. The CK2 holoenzyme is formed by the recruitment of two catalytically active CK2α and/or CK2α' subunits by a regulatory CK2β dimer.

YKL-40 is structurally similar to chitotriosidase (CHIT1), an active chitinase, but it lacks chitin-degrading activity while retaining chitin-binding capability. Elevated YKL-40 levels are associated with inflammatory diseases and cancers, making it a valuable biomarker. We previously reported that the W69T substitution in YKL-40 significantly reduces its chitin-binding affinity, identifying W69 as a crucial binding site.
