Background: Spirothiazolidines are versatile synthetic scaffold possessing wide spectrum of biological interests involving potential anticancer activity.
Objective: To report the first synthesis of Bis Spiro-thiazolidine as a novel heterocyclic ring system.
Methods: One-pot three-component reaction including condensation of p-phenyllene diamine; cyclohexanone and thioglycolic acid produced Spiro-thiazolidine 4, which underwent further condensation with cyclohexanone and thioglycolic acid with equimolar ratio to introduce Bis-Spiothiazolidine 5 as the first synthesis. Also, bis spiro-thiazolidine arylidene derivatives 6-13 were synthesized by the reaction of Bis-Spiothiazolidine 5 with different aromatic benzaldehydes.
Results: Four compounds 13, 12, 9 and 11 have shown highly significant anticancer activity compared to Doxorubicin® (positive control) against Human liver carcinoma (HepG2) and Human Normal Retina pigmented epithelium (RPE-1) cell lines.
Conclusion: The novel bis-spirothiazolidine deriviatives have been synthesized for the first time and showed excellent anticancer activities compare with the corresponding spirothiazolidine derivatives.

Epidithio-diketopiperazine (ETP) compound is the family of natural fungal metabolites that are known to exert diverse biological effects, such as immunosuppression and anti-cancer activity, in higher animals. However, an enzyme-like catalytic activity or function of the ETP derivatives has not been reported. Here, we report the generation of novel thiol peroxidase mimetics that possess peroxide-reducing activity through strategic derivatization of the core ETP ring structure.

The escalating prevalence of lifestyle and microbial diseases poses a significant threat to human well-being, necessitating the discovery and development of novel drugs with distinct modes of action. Addressing this challenge involves employing innovative strategies, and one current approach involves utilizing heterocyclic compounds to synthesize hybrid molecules. These hybrids have resulted from the fusion of two or more bioactive heterocyclic moieties into a single molecule.

L-Cysteine (L-Cys) serves as both an inhibitor of the carcinogen 1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and an enhancer of food flavor, supporting efforts to improve food safety and quality. Using a glucose/phenylalanine/creatinine model system, this study assessed the effects of varying L-Cys concentrations on PhIP inhibition and pyrazine flavor enhancement through UPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS analyses. The optimal PhIP reduction (82.

ConspectusChiral organosilicon compounds bearing a Si-stereogenic center have attracted increasing attention in various scientific communities and appear to be a topic of high current relevance in modern organic chemistry, given their versatile utility as chiral building blocks, chiral reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and chiral catalysts. Historically, access to these non-natural Si-stereogenic silanes mainly relies on resolution, whereas their asymmetric synthetic methods dramatically lagged compared to their carbon counterparts. Over the past two decades, transition-metal-catalyzed desymmetrization of prochiral organosilanes has emerged as an effective tool for the synthesis of enantioenriched Si-stereogenic silanes.

The synthesis of chiral tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) has garnered significant interest from medicinal chemists due to their frequent presence as pharmacophores in bioactive compounds. While existing synthetic methods have primarily focused on THQs with single or multiple endocyclic chiral centers, the selective construction of THQs with both and cyclic chiral centers remains a significant challenge that requires further development. This study introduces a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR)-based transfer hydrogenation of racemic 2-substituted quinolines, which yields structurally novel chiral THQs with consecutive and cyclic chiral centers in excellent yields and stereoselectivities (59 examples, with generally >20:1 dr and >90% ee, up to three consecutive stereocenters).
