: In the current study, we reported a cost-effective, simple strategy for the synthesis and reactivity of a novel series of chromenopyridine derivatives involving 2,4-diamino-3-carbonitrile moieties. These new compounds were synthesized in good yields from malononitrile and various chromene derivatives as a precursor, which was prepared by the reduction of iminocoumarin derivatives. The formed iminocoumarin was obtained by Knoevenagel condensation from malononitrile and different aromatic aldehydes. These novel chromenopyridine derivatives were further reacted with triethyl orthoformate under microwave irradiation to afford the final compounds, namely "chromenopyridine formimidate." The structures of all molecules were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis.

In the present investigation, we report the multistep synthesis of pyranoquinolinyl acrylic acid (PQAA)/furoquinolinyl acrylic acid (FQAA) diastereomers via perkin condensation and reduction, followed by one-pot inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction among 2,3 dihydropyran, amine, and aromatic aldehyde mediated by indium (III) triflate in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (In(OTf)3/ [bmim]BF4) at 25.0-27.0oC. The pyranoquinolinyl acrylic acid/furoquinolinyl acrylic acid diastereomers were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity. Molecular docking studies were carried out employing iGEMDOCK software to evaluate the mode of binding between UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoyl glucosamine reductase and PQAA adducts. All the pyranoquinolinyl/ furoquinolinyl/tetrahydro-cyclopentaquinolinyl acrylic acid (PQAA/FQAA/CPQAA) diastereomers were thoroughly characterized by NMR, FT-IR, mass spectral, and CHN analysis.

: This work is devoted to the synthesis of divers Michael adducts from (E)-α-atlantone as an α,β-unsaturated ketone isolated from Cedrus atlantica essential oil. The (E)-α-atlantone is subjected to ethyl cyanoacetate, phenylmagnesium bromide, and ethanol to produce the corresponding 1,4-Michael adducts in good yields. The conjugate addition of the appropriate reagents onto (E)-α-atlantone proceeds in a regiospecific manner, closely governed by the nucleophilicity of the reagents as well as their stereospecific blocking. The structure of the obtained Michael adducts is established using NMR (1H & 13C) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Likewise, the DFT method was utilized to comprehend the molecular properties, stability, and reactivity of the investigated compounds, as well as to explain the proposed mechanism. The computed outcomes are in good agreement with the experimental data.

HSP90 assists as a crucial molecular chaperone that responds to environmental stressors and helps in the survival of cells in microorganisms. This protein is integral to the stress response, aiding in the stabilization of various proteins essential for microbial survival. Consequently, the ability of a number of tissues to adjust to endogenous stress depends critically on appropriate chaperone activity. Modulators of chaperone activity, however, have emerged as a novel and developing area of drug discovery due to the association between changed chaperone function and the development of numerous illnesses. Inhibition of HSP90alpha can disrupt proper protein folding, thus impairing growth and virulence in fungi. In this work, we selected novel leads of gallic acid derivatives with the help of OSIRIS Property Explorer and DruLiTo software. Selected leads were subjected to ADME-T studies for further screening. Docking and molecular simulation studies on selected compounds were performed using Schrodinger v21 and GROMACS software to predict the bioactivity of novel leads of 3,4,5 trihydroxy benzoic acid for suppression of the HSP90alpha enzyme. Compounds 4N, 18N, 15N, and 14N showed good docking scores of -6.5, -6.4, -5.91, and -5.98, respectively, which was comparable to standard ciprofloxacin. Compound 4N and compound 14N demonstrated notable binding interactions and were selected for further investigation through molecular dynamics studies with HSP90alpha (PDB ID: 1YC1). RMSD, H BOND, and RMSF analysis confirmed the stable binding of compounds 4N and 14 N with the HSP90 enzyme. The RMSF plot showed less than 0.35 nm fluctuation for the HSP90alpha enzyme in complex with different ligands. It can be concluded that ligand binding can cause stability to the conformation of the protein. Compounds 4N and 14N are considered to be the best theoretical lead, which can further be studied experimentally as HSP90 alpha inhibitors for antimicrobial activity. Ongoing research aims to uncover more insights into the specific mechanisms of action, optimize structural features for enhanced efficacy, and explore potential synergies with existing antimicrobial agents. As a result, these derivatives hold promise as candidates for the development of novel antimicrobial agents with a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria and fungi

Michael addition reaction is widely accepted as the most important reaction for making carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of organic compounds. In this reaction, an enone is attacked by a nucleophile in a conjugated manner across a carbon-carbon double bond. The present work reported the Michael reaction of indole with α,β-unsaturated ketones via alkylation to yield 3-(3-oxoalkyl) indole or β-indolyl ketones. Naturally available orange juice has been demonstrated to be an efficient green catalyst for the Michael addition reaction of indoles with various cyclic and acyclic unsaturated ketones. The products were characterised by 1H NMR spectroscopy and compared with literature. This one-step, simple process has afforded the 3-indolyl carbonyl compounds in short reaction times and excellent yields at room temperature. The present method developed an inexpensive synthetic process to prepare substituted indoles in a simple and eco-friendly way.
