Many disorders, including cancer and malaria, could be targeted via the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), whose products are key in biosynthetic reactions in cells. The goal of this study was to find new PPP inhibitors. The inhibition effects of malononitrile derivatives on Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) were analyzed through experiments. Besides, molecular docking studies were performed to predict the interactions having role in inhibition of compounds. constants of derivatives were found between 4.24 ± 0.46-69.63 ± 7.75 µM for G6PD and 1.91 ± 0.12-95.07 ± 11.08 µM for 6PGD. Derivatives indicated non-competitive inhibition on both enzymes except for compound The findings of the molecular docking studies revealed that free-binding energy estimations agreed with data. The structure of these malononitrile derivatives may guide for drug discovery in targeting the PPP.

A practically intriguing catalytic domino methodology has been developed for the synthesis of highly functionalized pyran and ethene-1,1,2-tricarbonitrile derivatives in a single-pot operation. The -dicyano olefins and the corresponding epoxide were taken as the reactive partners in the presence of a hydrogen bond donor (HBD)-catalyzed condition. The reaction was found to be highly efficient in terms of the formation of sequential C-C and O-C bonds along with an exceptional C-C coupling step through a metal-free organocatalytic pathway.

The nitrogen mustard alkylating agent chlorambucil (CBL) is a critical component of chemotherapeutic regimens used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The cancer cell-killing actions of CBL are limited by glutathione (GSH) conjugation, a process catalyzed by the GSH transferase hGSTA1-1 that triggers CBL efflux from cells. In the cancer cell microenvironment, intracellular GSH levels are elevated to counterbalance oxidative stress generated due to the high glycolytic demand.

A novel series of nicotinonitrile and pyrazolyl nicotinonitrile were synthesized, and their PIM-1 kinase inhibitors and caspase activators were investigated. New Manich bases 6-8 were synthesized reaction of pyridine 4 with piperidine, dimethyl amine, and morpholine in the presence of formalin. On the other hand, the pyrazolyl analogues 10-12 were synthesized heterocyclization of acetohydrazide derivative 9 with acetylacetone, malononitrile, and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively, in ethanol.

3-Substituted indoles are an important framework of many drugs, agricultural chemicals, functional materials, and bioactive compounds. Malononitrile-based three-component Yonemitsu reactions are attractive choices for the synthesis of 3-substituted indole derivatives but suffered from long reaction time and harsh conditions (e.g.

In this paper, we present a green application for the synthesis of novel pyridine derivatives 4a-f via one-pot, multicomponent reaction (MCRs) of some aromatic aldehydes 1a-f with malononitrile (2) and N-(4-acetylphenyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (3) in the presence of ammonium acetate using ultrasonic irradiation (U.S) in an aqueous solvent HO:EtOH (2:1). The structures of all synthesized pyridines 4a-f were confirmed via elemental analysis and different spectroscopic techniques.
