: Surfactants have great importance in biological and drug industries and the complexes of metallic soaps with various ligands are used in approximately every region of national economy. Therefore, our keen interest to study of degradation kinetics and biological importance of Cu (II) surfactants in non-aqueous and non-polar solvent benzene. Present research work has been initiated with synthesis, systematic study of structural elucidation, thermal degradation, kinetics and biocidal activities of copper (II) sesame-soap complexes with macrocyclic nitrogen and sulphur containing donar ligands like urea and thiourea. The thermal degradation of copper (II) sesame-soap complexes were carried out for analysis of degradation kinetics and estimation of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters using different methods at heating rate 10 o C min-1 . Copper (II) sesame-soap complexes of such ligands have also been analysed against Staphylococus aureus. This research work consolidates the synthesis of copper (II) sesame soap-urea and thiourea complexes by conventional methods and the structure of these complexes were assigned according to elemental analysis and molecular weight determinations. IR, NMR and ESR spectral studies have also been done to understand structural aspects. The anti-microbial activities of copper (II) sesame-soap urea and thiourea complexes have been evaluated by testing against Staphylococus aureus. The present research work includes information of thermal analysis using TGA technique to find out their kinetic and thermodynamic parameters by using diverse equations such as Coats-Redfern equation, Horowitz-Metzger equation, Broido equation, Piloyan–Novikova equation. Moreover, the results obtained from anti-microbial screening have been used to analyze the anti-microbial activities of copper (II) sesame-soap urea and thiourea complexes against gram-positive bacteria Staphylococus aureus. These results show that complexes of copper ion co-ordinated with different nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur containing ligands, are very important in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry due to its significant role in the inhibition activity. The study of these complexes concludes that the synthesized complexes were found to possess appreciable bactericidal properties at different concentrations because chelation increases the anti-microbial potency.

Abstract: Caffeoyl spermidines are valuable alkaloids naturally existing in many plant species. These alkaloids are characterized as pharmacologically important ingredients of many plant extracts used in traditional medicines. Bis-caffeoylspermidine and bis-dihydrocaffeoylspermidine exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and enzyme inhibition properties that make them valuable natural sources of safer therapeutic agents. However, the limited availability of these compounds in nature derives the attention of synthetic chemists. Therefore, we synthesized bis-caffeoylspermidine and bisdihydrocaffeoylspermidine using cheaper and commercially available starting materials in 97% and 86% overall yields, respectively. The synthetic scheme can be upgraded to the commercial-scale synthesis of these compounds.

Abstract: Developing new agents with higher therapeutic potential and less toxicity to overcome the limitations of chemotherapy in cancer treatment has been identified as an urgent need and priority. Recent studies have shown promising anticancer activities of tranilast when used alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents. This research aims to synthesize tranilast analogs, evaluate in vitro anticancer activity, and dock into the TGFβ1 target to find stronger anticancer agents. Tranilast (5a) and analogs (5b–f) were synthesized from anthranilic acid derivatives, Meldrum’s acid, and benzaldehydes based on the Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction. The compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity activity by MTT assay and docked into the TGFβ1 target using AutoDockTools–1.5.6. Tranilast (5a) and seven analogs (5b–h) were successfully synthesized and analyzed for their structures. Four analogs (5b–d, 5f) possessed stronger effects on both HepG2 and MCF-7 cell lines with proliferation inhibitions at concentrations of 100 µg/mL in the range of 41 to 95% compared to tranilast (16.95% and 22.64%). Compound 5f exhibited the most potent analog with IC50 = 27.57 µg/mL (HepG2) and 16.67 µg/mL (MCF-7) compared to tranilast (IC50 > 100 µg/mL) and had good binding affinity on TGFβ1 target (docking score ˗7.35 Kcal/mol). Four of seven tranilast analogs possessed stronger cytotoxicity activity on both HepG2 and MCF-7 cell lines compared to that of the parent compound, tranilast. Notably, compound 5f displayed the most potent activity and good binding affinity on the TGFβ1 target, indicating the potential for further study as an anticancer agent.

Abstract: Microbial infection is one of the major concerns for human health in the modern era. Condition is further worsening due to the development of resistance by the microbe against the available drugs. This problem can be overcome by synthesizing novel antimicrobial agents. Isatin is a promising moiety possessing antimicrobial activity. A number of isatin derivatives are present in the market for the treatment of microbial infection. In this review, we have tried to summarize isatin derivatives as antimicrobials, including numerous potent isatin analogs. The reported literature related to the development and application of isatin derivatives have been collected from electronic data bases like Science Direct, Google Scholar, and PubMed by using key words like “design, synthesis and evaluation”, “isatin derivatives,” and “indoldione analogues” and related combinations. It was identified that isatin derivatives play an essential role in drug discovery and development. In recent years, isatin and its derivatives have shown promising antibacterial and antiviral properties. This review aims to provide an overview of the current research on isatin potential applications. Studies have shown that isatin derivatives can effectively fight against various types of microorganisms, such as gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. They also exhibit lower toxicity and better efficacy than standard antimicrobial agents. Moreover, isatin-based products have the potential to address the rising issue of antimicrobial resistance. The current work attempts to review such innovations, which may lead to the creation of novel therapeutic agents. More research is required to confirm their safety and effectiveness in clinical practice.

Abstract: Thymol is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid phenol, and its derivatives may emerge as eco-friendly materials for the development of chemosensing probes. To prepare a non-toxic chemosensing probe based on thymol moiety for the detection of metal ions. A chemosensor (TPC) based on thymol was afforded by the reaction of thymol and piperidine in methanol. The structure elucidation of TPC was carried out with UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FT-IR analysis. The chemosensing properties of the synthesized probe were determined with UVvisible spectroscopy, and further, it was exploited for the determination of the concentration of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions in spiked tap water samples. The toxicity studies of the chemosensing probe were conducted against the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), i.e., Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Azospirillum sp. The absorption spectrum of TPC showed a band at 277 nm. The presence of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions induced an increase in the absorption intensity at 277 nm by 2-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively. The binding constant for both TPC-Cu2+ and TPC-Pb2+ was calculated as 1.55 × 105 M-1 and 1.47 × 105 M-1, respectively. The respective limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for Cu2+ were 623.64 × 10-6 mol L-1 and 1889.85 × 10-6 mol L-1. For Pb2+ ions, LOD and LOQ were calculated as 676.70 × 10-6 mol L-1 and 2050.60 × 10-6 mol L-1, respectively. In spiked tap water samples, percent recovery was observed in the range of 80.1 to 81.0 % and 80.1 to 81.9 % for Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions, respectively. Toxicity studies of the synthesized probe inferred that TPC was non-toxic against the tested PGPR at all the tested concentrations. In this work, we have synthesized a thymolbased chemosensor, which has been evaluated as a non-toxic sensor for Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions. background: Owing to important biological and environmental effects of metal ions, it has become obligatory to monitor these in our surroundings. Chemosensors are molecular probes which can detect the specific analytes in the presence of multiple analytes in various media. Thymol is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid phenol having good coordination sites which can be utilized for affording chemosensors via derivatization to compounds like mannich bases, esters, imine derivatives etc. These naturally occurring non-toxic compounds and their derivatives may emerge as eco-friendly materials for development of chemosensing probes .

Abstract: Isatin-derivatives are an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds in organic synthesis. On the other hand, 1,3-thiazoles are 5-membered heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen and sulphur atoms. Hydrazinyl thiazoles are often prepared through the classical condensation of aldehydes or ketones with thiosemicarbazide to yield thiosemicarbazones, which will then undergo heterocyclization with phenylacyl bromides to give the corresponding hydrazinyl thiazoles. Nowadays, multi-component reactions (MCRs) are considered the most powerful tool in organic synthesis. The use of water as a green solvent in organic synthesis is one of the goals of green chemistry. In this study, a series of new hydrazinyl thiazoles 3a-3u bearing an isatin moiety were synthesized in good yield via a one-pot three-component condensation reaction of isatins with thiosemicarbazide and phenyl acyl bromides in water under reflux condition. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR and LC/MS spectral data.

Introduction: Synthesis of amino acid-derived alkyl iodides results in versatile intermediates for many peptidomimetics, and hence, the approach for their synthesis under neutral conditions was achieved in the present work. Method: The N-protected amino acids were reduced to amino alcohols under T3P as an activator and NaBH4 as a reducing partner. Thus, synthesized aminols were sonicated with diphosphorus tetraiodide (P2I4) in CS2 to obtain the N-protected aminoalkyl iodides. Result: We established the utilisation of the alkyl iodides by converting them to aminoalkyl thiols, which serve as building blocks for many heterocycles and other drug candidates. The ultrasonication medium works effectively for all the intermediates preparation; the conditions are mild, and yields are almost quantitative in all steps. Conclusion: The synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS analysis.
