Six griseofulvin analogues named penigriseofulvins A - F (1-6), including three undescribed compounds and three undescribed natural products, were isolated from the fungus Penicillium griseofulvum. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by NMR spectroscopic analyses, HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction experiments. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity, of which compounds 1 and 4 showed potential anti-inflammatory effects in RAW264.7 macrophages and ulcerative colitis mice.

The downstream processability of Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASD), an underexplored topic of importance, was assessed through a multi-faceted particle engineering approach. Extrudates, comprised of griseofulvin (GF), a model poorly water-soluble drug, and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), were prepared at four drug concentrations and three HME temperature profiles to yield cases with and without residual crystallinity and subsequently milled to five sieve cuts ranging from < 45 μm to 355 - 500 μm. Solid state characterization was performed with XRPD, FT-IR, and TGA.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study evaluated the co-formability and stability of these systems through various analytical techniques, such as thermal analysis and crystallography.
  • * Results showed that while CAMS with more hydrophobic amino acids had better supersaturation and stability in dissolution tests, the hydrophilic LYSinhibited dissolution performance, which improved with the use of a wetting agent.

Herein, a one-pot reaction between cyclohexanone, thiourea, and 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde allowed to prepare hexahydroquinazoline-2(1H)-thione4 firstly, which followed by reacting with hydrazine hydrate to produce the corresponding 2-hydrazinylhexahydroquinazoline 6. Interesting analogs of thiazolo[3,2-a]quinazoline 713 where obtained when hexahydroquinazoline-2(1H)-thione 4 reacted with 1,2-dibromoethane, chloroacetyl chloride, bromoacetic acid, bromoacetic acid/4-chlorobenzaldehyde, 2-bromopropionic acid, ethyl bromo cyanoacetate, and/or bromomalononitrile; respectively. While triazolo[4,3-a] quinazoline 14-16 were created when 2-hydrazinylhexahydroquinazoline 6 reacted with triethyl orthoformate, acetic anhydride, and carbon disulfide respectively.
