A series of novel scaffold of N-substituted pyrazole derived α-aminophosphonates were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cholinesterase activity. Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) was used as a catalyst for the organic transformation. Compounds 4ah and 4bh proved to be more potent than the standard drug tacrine, rivastigmine and galantamine for AChE inhibition activity with IC value between 0.055 ± 0.143 µM and 0.017 ± 0.02 µM respectively. BuChE activity of the synthesized derivatives possessed moderate to weak inhibition potency. 4bhshows a comparable activity to Rivastigmine against BuChE (IC = 6.331 ± 0.17). The compounds did not show any cytotoxicity against HEK-293 cells when compared to standard drugs. Cell viability assay using N2a cell showed compounds 4ah and 4bh showed comparable results to positive control rivastigmine. In addition, these compounds showed promising antioxidant activities against DPPH and HO scavenging. Both 4ah and 4bh showed mixed-type inhibition which supported by molecular docking studies by acting as a dual site inhibitor. The predicted ADME showed good pharmacokinetics as predicted by QikProp. DNA cleavage studies and DNA protection assay of active compounds were also performed. 4bh did not show any damage to DNA and was protective in nature.

The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application of six aluminum alkyl complexes supported by various imino-phosphanamidinate chalcogenide ligands are described. Six different unsymmetrical imino-phosphanamidinate chalcogenide ligands [NHIP(Ph)(E)NH-Dipp] [R = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dipp), E = S (2a-H), Se (2b-H); R = mesityl (Mes), E = S (3a-H), Se (3b-H); R = -butyl (Bu), E = S (4a-H), Se (4b-H)] were prepared by the oxidation of respective imino-phosphanamide ligands (1a, 1b and 1c) with elemental chalcogen atoms (S and Se). The aluminum complexes with imino-phosphanamidinate chalcogenide ligands with the general formulae [κ-{NHIP(Ph)(E)N-Dipp}AlMe] [R = Dipp, E = S (5a), Se (5b); R = Mes, E = S (6a), Se (6b)] or [κ-{NHIP(Ph)(E)N-Dipp}AlMe] [R = Bu, E = S (7a), Se (7b)] were synthesized in good yields from the reaction of the suitable protic ligands (2a,b-H-4a,b-H) and trimethylaluminum in a 1 : 1 molar ratio in toluene at room temperature.

The complexes [Ru(1-C[triple bond]C-1,10-C2B8H9)(dppe)Cp*] (3a), [Ru(1-C[triple bond]C-1,12-C2B10H11)(dppe)Cp*] (3b), [{Ru(dppe)Cp*}2{mu-1,10-(C[triple bond]C)2-1,10-C2B8H8}] (4a) and [{Ru(dppe)Cp*}2{mu-1,12-(C[triple bond]C)2-1,12-C2B10H10}] (4b), which form a representative series of mono- and bimetallic acetylide complexes featuring 10- and 12-vertex carboranes embedded within the diethynyl bridging ligand, have been prepared and structurally characterized. In addition, these compounds have been examined spectroscopically (UV-vis-NIR, IR) in all accessible redox states. The significant separation of the two, one-electron anodic waves observed in the cyclic voltammograms of the bimetallic complexes 4a and 4b is largely independent of the nature of the electrolyte and is attributed to stabilization of the intermediate redox products [4a]+ and [4b]+ through interactions between the metal centers across a distance of ca.

2-Amino-3-[3-hydroxy-5-(2-thiazolyl)-4-isoxazolyl]propionic acid (1) is a potent AMPA receptor agonist with moderate affinity for native kainic acid (KA) receptors, whereas (S)-E-4-(2,2-dimethylpropylidene)glutamic acid (3) show high affinity for the GluR5 subtype of KA receptors and much lower affinity for the GluR2 subtype of AMPA receptors. As an attempt to develop new pharmacological tools for studies of GluR5 receptors, (S)-E-4-(2-thiazolylmethylene)glutamic acid (4a) was designed as a structural hybrid between 1 and 3. 4a was shown to be a potent GluR5 agonist and a high affinity ligand and to indiscriminately bind to the AMPA receptor subtypes GluR1-4 with lower affinities.
