Molecular hybridization yielded phenyl linked oxadiazole-benzohydrazones hybrids 6-35 and were evaluated for their antileishmanial potentials. Compound 10, a 3,4-dihydroxy analog with IC value of 0.95 ± 0.01 μM, was found to be the most potent antileishmanial agent (7 times more active) than the standard drug pentamidine (IC = 7.02 ± 0.09 μM). The current series 6-35 conceded in the identification of thirteen (13) potent antileishmanial compounds with the IC values ranging between 0.95 ± 0.01-78.6 ± 1.78 μM. Molecular docking analysis against pteridine reductase (PTR1) were also performed to probe the mode of action. Selectivity index showed that compounds with higher number of hydroxyl groups have low selectivity index. Theoretical stereochemical assignment was also done for certain derivatives by using density functional calculations.

Sulfonamide drugs were the original class of antibiotics, demonstrating the antibacterial potential of dithiocarbazate and thiosemicarbazone Schiff base derivatives of syringaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde. We synthesized unique Schiff bases via the condensation of the aldehydes with hydrazine derivatives, which allows for the easy synthesis of several related compounds. These Schiff base derivatives were tested for antileishmanial properties against the parasitic protozoan .

Article Synopsis
- Visceral leishmaniasis is a serious disease primarily found in low- and middle-income countries, with limited treatment options due to toxicity and drug resistance.
- Researchers developed a multitask learning (MTL) pipeline to predict the effectiveness of compounds against several species, screening about 1.3 million compounds and finding 20 potential candidates with significant antileishmanial activity.
- Three of these compounds showed strong efficacy and moderate safety, suggesting they could lead to new therapies, while the use of explainable models aids in understanding how these compounds work, potentially improving drug discovery for neglected tropical diseases.

Four organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes; (CH)SnL (), CHSnL (), (CH)SnL () and (CH)SnL () are synthesized by the condensation reaction of organotin(IV) chlorides with sodium-4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetate (). The FT-IR spectra suggested bridging/chelating bidentate coordination of the ligand to the tin atom. Single-crystal XRD analysis authenticated the FT-IR findings for and .

Visceral Leishmaniasis, caused by is the second most deadly parasitic disease, causing over 65,000 deaths annually. Synthetic drugs available in the market, to combat this disease, have numerous side effects. In this backdrop, we aim to find safer antileishmanial alternatives with minimal side effects from mushrooms, which harbour various secondary metabolites with promising efficacy.

This work describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of hitherto unknown N-arylspermidine derivatives 3. Compounds 3 were efficiently prepared from cyclic amidines through a novel synthetic approach comprising alkylation with ω-halonitriles followed by reduction. The cyclic N-arylamidine directs the alkylation to the unsubstituted nitrogen and also provides the N-benzyl group present in the triamine after simultaneous reduction of the resulting quaternary salt 2 and the cyano group.
