Stereospecific syntheses of exo-2-amino-5,6-dihydroxybenzonorbornene (11f), exo-2-amino-6,7-dihydroxybenzonorbornene (11h), exo-2-amino-7,8-dihydroxybenzonorbornene (11g), and endo-2-amino-6,7-dihydroxybenzonorbornene (14d), rigid analogues of dopamine, are described. Compounds 11 h and 14d, their N-methyl (11i and 11j) and N,N-dimethyl (14i and 14j) derivatives, and compounds 11f and 11g were inactive as dopamine agonists when evaluated for dopaminergic activity by their ability to induce stereotyped behavior in mice after subcutaneous injection and by their ability to cause hyperactivity in rats after bilateral injection into the nucleus accumbens. However, compounds 11f, 11g, 11h, and the N-methyl derivatives 11i and 14d were all effective in displacing [3H]-2-amino-6,7-dihydroxytetralin ([3H]ADTN) and [3h[-N-n-propylnorapomorphine ([3H]NPA) from rat striatal membranes.

In this study, we built on the known inhibitory potential of diaminoquinazolines (DAQs) against different stages of Plasmodium development and designed a convenient two-step synthesis to combine DAQ with the primaquine (PQ) pharmacophore. The PQ-DAQ hybrids displayed potent in vitro activities in the low nanomolar range (IC50 of 135.20-398.

As a complicated neurodegenerative disorder with several clinical hallmarks, Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires multi-target treatment medicines to address multiple elements of disease progression. In this study, we reported two novel series of compounds: benzofuran-based donepezil analogs (9a-i) and their pyrazole-based counterparts (11a-i) as potential dual inhibitors of AChE and BuChE with additional antioxidant properties, aiming to address multiple pathological aspects of AD simultaneously. The design strategy employed bioisosteric replacement, substituting donepezil's indanone motif with a benzofuran ring in series (9a-i) to maintain crucial hydrogen bonding interactions with the Phe295 residue in the enzyme's active site.

FDA-approved numerous commercial and natural drugs used in cancer treatment feature either pyrazole or alkyne moieties. On the basis of this, we designed and synthesized 20 novel propargyloxy-substituted pyrazole-based aurones (10a-j and 11a-j) and evaluated for their anticancer potential against cancerous MCF-7 and human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cell lines, as well as normal cell line human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293), through MTT assay. Among these tested compounds, five (10d-f, 11e, and 11f) displayed potent cytotoxic properties for AGS cancer cell line with IC values ranging from 19.

An unprecedented metal-free synthesis of fused quinoxaline 1,5-disubstituted-[1,4]-diazepine hybrids have been reported under mild conditions through a domino intermolecular SAr followed by an internal nucleophile-triggered intramolecular SAr pathway. Our strategy offers the flexibility for the introduction of a broad variety of functionalities at the N-1 position of fused diazepine moiety by using suitable diamine tails to design structurally diverse scaffolds. The DNA binding properties of representative quinoxaline diazepine hybrids were studied using UV-vis absorbance and EtBr displacement assay and were found to be governed by the functionalities at the N-1 position.
