Abstract A series of novel botanical active component 4-chromanone derivatives incorporating carboxamide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole thioether moieties were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and activities antifungal against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicolaby (Xoc) and Mucor bainieri (M. bainieri), Mucor fragilis (M. fragilis), Trichoderma atroviride (T. atroviride), respectively. Antibacterial screening results suggested that the target compounds showed moderate to good antibacterial activities against Xac and Xoc, to the contrary, had lower inhibitory effects on M. fragilis, M. bainieri, and T. atroviride. Among the target compounds, compound 6-chloro-N-(5-(methylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-4-oxochromane-2-carboxamide (6f) had the best inhibition rates against Xac (85.15% and 72.41%, respectivelty) and Xoc (95.14% and 82.09%) at 200 and 100 μg/mL, which were superior to Bismerthiazol and Thiodiazole copper. As far as we know, it is the first report on the design, synthesis, and bioactivity evaluation of novel 4-chromanone-derived compounds incorporating carboxamide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole thioether moieties.

摘要合成了一系列含有羧基酰胺和1,3,4-噻二唑硫醚的新型植物活性成分4-铬酮衍生物,并对其体外抗菌和抗真菌活性进行了评价。柑桔(Xac),米黄单胞菌;分别为米霉霉(Xoc)和白僵霉(M. bainieri)、脆弱毛霉(M. fragilis)、atroviride木霉(T. atroviride)。抑菌筛选结果表明,目标化合物对Xac和Xoc具有中等至良好的抑菌活性,而对脆弱支原体、白僵菌和阿托维绿杆菌的抑菌作用较低。目标化合物中,化合物6-氯- n -(5-(甲基硫)-1,3,4-噻二唑-2-基)-4-氧铬-2-羧酰胺(6f)在200和100 μg/mL下对Xac(分别为85.15%和72.41%)和Xoc(分别为95.14%和82.09%)的抑制率最高,优于双巯噻唑和硫代二唑铜。据我们所知,这是第一个设计、合成含有羧基酰胺和1,3,4-噻二唑硫醚的新型4-铬罗曼酮衍生化合物并进行生物活性评价的报道。图形抽象

Abstract Using up-to-date methods for synthesis and analysis, 51 sulfonamides were prepared for use as tools in antitubercular drug discovery. The synthetic efforts were centered on varying substituents at three key structural units implicated in antimicrobial activity, namely the sulfonyl group, nitrogen N1 and nitrogen N4. Procedures were specific to the sites of functionalization. Preliminary biological assessments are included here on selected compounds. The results suggest that the compounds may be useful in the exploration of the likely interactions of sulfa drugs with enzymes found in tuberculosis (dihydropteroate synthase) or its human host (N-acetyltransferase), interactions that result in drug activity or drug de-activation, respectively.

Abstract Here, we serendipitously found that photoirradiation of nitrobenzene derivatives with alkyl thiols produced sulfonamides in low yields without the addition of other reagents. We proposed a new photoreaction mechanism, in which the photo-excited nitrobenzene biradical abstracts a hydrogen atom from H-S, the resultant thiyl radical undergoes the coupling with the nitrogen atom in the nitro group, and the two oxygen atoms in the nitro group are transferred onto the sulfur atom. The photoreaction by-produced p-sulfanyl, aniline, and o-sulfonyl derivatives presumably through SRN1 mechanism from the p-substituted nitrobenzene, photo-desulfonylation, and photo-Fries rearrangement from the sulfonamide, respectively. Discovery of this photoreaction will expand the scope of the chemistry of nitro and thiol compounds, since the sulfonamides are expected to find extensive applications. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract Strontium phosphate glasses containing bismuth oxide were prepared using conventional melt-quenching technique. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis suggests that stable ternary glasses of composition 70 P2O5-(30-x)SrO-xBi2O3 can be obtained for x = 5–25 mol%. This study examines such physical properties as the density, molar volume (Vm), glass transition temperature (Tg), and structural properties in the interest of explaining the effect on these glasses of Bi-Sr substitution. An almost linear increase in the density when the concentration of bismuth increases between x = 5 and x = 10 mol% followed by monotonic decreasing is noted. However, the calculated molar volume (Vm) behaves in exactly the opposite way. DSC curves showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) decreases by 555 °C down to 490 °C as the concentration of Bi2O3 increases, due to the increase in the number of bridging oxygens. Structural investigations performed using IR spectroscopy revealed that the structure of the phosphate network contains predominately meta-phosphate (Q2) units, with contributions from pyrophosphate (Q1) and orthophosphate (Q0). The infrared spectra also revealed depolymerization of the phosphate chains in the glass system, with increased Bi2O3 concentration and the formation of P–O–Bi bonds. The study of the gamma ray shielding parameters showed that the prepared glasses can be used for shielding radiation applications. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract Dithioacetalization, as a well-known class of organic transformation, was carried out for protection of a wide variety of aromatic (with electron releasing and electron withdrawing substituents), heteroaromatic and aliphatic aldehydes as well as ketones by 1,2-ethanedithiol/or 1,3-propanedithiol in the presence of Fe3O4@MCM-41-GPTMS-Gu-CuIINPs. The corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes and 1,3-dithianes were obtained chemoselectively in the presence of Fe3O4@MCM-41-GPTMS-Gu-CuIINPs with hexagonal core-shell structure, superparamagnetic behavior, and average particle size of 8–25 nm under mild reaction conditions. The nanostructured catalyst could be separated easily from the reaction mixture using a magnetic bar and reused in several reaction runs without any remarkable reduction in its catalytic activity. Nearly neutral conditions, good to high yields of the products, operational simplicity, easy work-up procedure, compatibility with various functional groups make the present method valuable in addition to the known methodologies.

Abstract Silica has drawn the attention of many researchers from all over the world owing to its excellent biological, mechanical, and physiochemical properties. Different synthetic routes, reagents, characterization techniques, and applications of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) are discussed in this review article. A detailed discussion on sol-gel, ultrasonication, chemical precipitation, and hydrothermal route is presented. Biological synthesis of SiO2 NPs from bamboo leaves, rice husk, and sugarcane bagasse is also focused. Different characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are discussed in detail. A study on SiO2 NPs conjugated with metallic oxides and polymers is also discussed. Being important materials with a wide variety and novel applications, these conjugates are used in agriculture, mechanical engineering, material science, electronics, and biomedical engineering. However, greater emphasis has been laid on biomedical aspects, including antibacterial applications and drug delivery along with its cytotoxic properties. The review article reflects that SiO2 NPs are potential candidates for several biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and appreciable biological activity. Graphical Abstract
