Article Synopsis
  • Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is an important enzyme linked to folate metabolism, making it a key target for cancer and antimicrobial treatments.
  • Researchers synthesized a series of 4-pyrrolidine-based thiosemicarbazones and tested their ability to inhibit DHFR, finding that these compounds showed significant inhibitory effects with IC values ranging from 12.37 to 54.10 μM, with compound 5d being the most effective.
  • The study included molecular docking and ADME analysis to explore how these compounds bind to DHFR and to identify those with desirable properties for the development of new therapeutic agents.

Diabetes mellitus has become a major global health burden because of several related consequences, including heart disease, retinopathy, cataracts, metabolic syndrome, collapsed renal function, and blindness. In the recent study, thirty Schiff base derivatives of 1,3-diphenylurea were synthesized and their anti-diabetic activity was evaluated by targeting α-glucosidase. The compounds exhibited an overwhelming inhibitory potential for α-glucosidase with higher potency ranging from 2.

Developing new anti-tyrosinase drugs seems crucial for the medical and industrial fields since irregular melanin synthesis is linked to the resurgence of several skin conditions, including melanoma, and the browning of fruits and vegetables. A novel series of N-1 and C-3 substituted indole-based thiosemicarbazones 5(a-r) are synthesized and further analyzed for their inhibition potential against tyrosinase enzyme through assays. The synthesized compounds displayed very good to moderate inhibition with half maximal inhibitory concentration in the range of 12.

Carbonic anhydrase CA-II enzyme is essential for maintaining homeostasis in several processes, including respiration, lipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, calcification, bone resorption, and electrolyte balance due to its vital function within cellular processes. Herein, we screened 25 newly synthesized thiazole derivatives and assessed their inhibitory potential against the zinc-containing carbonic anhydrase CA-II enzyme. Intriguingly, derivatives of thiazole exhibited varying degrees of inhibitory action against CA-II.

A Cu-catalyzed tandem transformation of Ugi adducts through CH/NH bond functionalization reactions was reported for synthesizing a broad spectrum of indolo/pyrrolo-[1,2-]quinoxaline-6/4-carboxamide, 7-indolo[2,3-]quinoline-6-carboxamide, and 1-(cyclohexylamino)-14-indolo[2,3-][1,4]oxazino[4,3-]quinolin-4(3)-one derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. In this protocol the Ugi condensation of aromatic aldehydes, anilines, acids, and isocyanides leads to the formation of bis-amides in methanol at room temperature. This approach employed simple reaction conditions, including Ugi product as starting material, CuI, l-proline as a ligand, and cesium carbonate, in DMSO for 8 h.

Avapritinib (AVA) is the first medication authorized by the US-FDA in 2020 for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) that can't be treated by surgery. Cancer is among the most common causes of death worldwide and is the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular disease. Therefore, a quick, easy, sensitive, and straightforward fluorimetric approach was used to analyse AVA in pharmaceutical materials and blood plasma (pharmacokinetic).

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder and more than 90% of diabetic patients suffer from type-2 diabetes, which is characterized by hyperglycemia. α-Glucosidase inhibition has become an appropriate approach to tackle high blood glucose levels. The current study was focused on synthesizing coumarin-hydrazone hybrids (7a-i) by using facile chemical reactions.

The discovery of post-operative, chronic inflammatory pain and any gastroulcerogenic potential using well-established animal models with new structures, high efficiency, broad-spectrum, and low toxicity has been the focus of medicinal chemists. In the present article, we are reporting the design and synthesis of various derivatives of ibuprofen by modifying the carboxyl group of ibuprofen using three steps reactions; esterification under microwave-irradiation in 10 minutes, hydrazide formation, and finally schiff's base reaction. Microwave-assisted esterification reaction can be employed to quickly explore and increase molecular diversity in synthetic chemistry.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of immobilized copper (triazole-5-yl)methanamine complexes onto MCM-41 (Cu@TZMA@MCM-41), as a novel recyclable nanocatalyst, is described. This nanocatalyst was used for the synthesis of pyridine-containing pseudopeptides through a sequential Ugi/nucleophilic addition/1,5-enyne cyclization reaction and elicited good-to-excellent yields. The nanocatalyst was fully characterized by SEM, EDS, TEM, BET, ICP-OES, TGA, and XRD techniques.
