This paper describes the synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of new compounds designated as 5(a-h) and 8(a-f). These compounds were synthesized by the reaction of thiazole derivative (3) or thiadiazole derivative (7) with urea and various aromatic aldehydes 4(a-h) in ethanol. The structures of the synthesized compounds were checked by IR,1H,13C NMR, and Mass spectroscopy. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the compounds were evaluated against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative), Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), and Candida albicans (fungus) using agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration methods. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds against HT-29 and A-549 cancer cell lines were assessed in vitro by the MTT method. Our studies showed compounds 8c and 8f to have the most expressed antibacterial activity against S. aureus, while compounds 8c and 8d were the most potent against E. coli. Compounds 5h and 8e showed the highest antifungal activity against C. albicans, and compound 5f showed the most potent activity against the tested cancer cell lines.

In this work, visible light was used for the photodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and it was modified as a photocatalyst. Modification of g-C3N4 was performed using SDS, MIL-101, and TiO2. The UV–Vis spectroscopy, XRD, and FTIR spectrometry were applied for characterization. The photodegradation of pyrene and anthracene was investigated using the photocatalyst. Results indicated that the modified photocatalytic has better photocatalytic properties than that unmodified due to the more surface area and better optical properties of the former. Results also revealed that the photodegradation efficiency significantly improved by using g-C3N4@TiO2 so that it degrades about 95% of the pyrene molecules within 12 h. While g-C3N4@ SDS and g-C3N4@ MIL-101 are degraded very low (below 10%) under the same circumstances. The LED lamp (8 W) was used as a source of radiation. Photodegradation of anthracene was also investigated; results revealed that the anthracene is degraded more quickly than the pyrene, so that after 6 h about 98% of anthracene is decomposed. The mechanism of photodegradation was discussed.

Organic compounds that can show fluorescence are utilized for numerous applications. Scalable synthetic routes for such compounds are a great part of academic as well as technological investigations in this area. In addition to fluorescent properties, pyridine compounds have been proven for other applications, especially in biological studies. A one-pot synthetic procedure is presented and 16 (14 new) compounds of the 2-arylamino-3-cyanopiridine family are being reported for the first time. Analytical methods including CHN, NMR (1H and 13C), IR, and MS were used to characterize the newly reported compounds. They all show blue to green fluorescence when irradiated with UV light. A scalable approach is also presented with more than 95% yield for obtaining these compounds with a fairly facile workup.

Molecular descriptors are essential tools that bridge the gap between chemical structures and their properties. Among these, the Randić index (R), geometric-arithmetic index (GA), and arithmetic-geometric index (AG) are well-established. However, the relationships between these descriptors, particularly the gaps and have not been extensively explored. This study investigates the impact of these descriptor gaps on chemical graph theory. Our findings reveal that the differences and provide unique insights into the structure-property modeling of molecules, particularly outperforming AG, GA, R, and other known descriptors for alkanes. Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are organic molecules composed of multiple fused aromatic rings. PACs are of significant environmental concern due to their persistence and potential toxicity, including carcinogenic properties. The effectiveness of and is observed to be strong in structure-property modeling for some polycyclic aromatic compounds. Additionally, and are recognized as important descriptors for various pharmaceutical compounds employed in treating malignant diseases.

In this study, CuO@HNTs-SO3H was investigated as a novel eco-friendly heterogeneous solid acid catalyst prepared by straightforward co-precipitation method. Thus, the cost-effective CuO NPs was used to modify halloysite nanotubes initially, which were subsequently further functionalized with sulfonic acid. The prepared catalyst was analyzed by means of FT-IR, XRD, EDX, SEM and TGA methods. Its catalytic activity is investigated in the solvent-free one-pot condensation of various aromatic aldehydes, dimedone, and β-naphthol to produce tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives. A few benefits of the discovered method are its simple process, quick reaction time, high yields (96%), affordable cost, and the catalyst ability to be reused without losing its activity.

The ongoing global pandemic caused by viral pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) underscores that viral transmission is not confined by geographical boundaries. Thus, the development of novel antiviral therapies is critical to mitigate this crisis. Pyranopyrazoles have gained significant attention in medicinal chemistry due to their bioactive properties. In this study, we present a new series of pyranopyrazoles and their annulated derivatives, which were assessed for antiviral activity using a validated QSAR model and tested for their inhibitory effects against the viral 3CLpro enzyme. The findings were corroborated by various in silico techniques, including molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and DFT calculations. Additionally, ADME studies were conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the novel lead compound 2. These investigations identified a series of metabolically stable pyranopyrazoles and their annulated derivatives as effective inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro enzyme, offering a promising therapeutic option for COVID-19. We believe that pyranopyrazoles warrant further evaluation and chemical optimization for potential use in COVID-19 treatment.

The study focuses on M1069, a promising drug for solid tumors functioning as an A2A adenosine receptor antagonist. Herein, we investigate the binding mechanism of the drug molecule M1069 by employing computational techniques to draw comparisons with Human serum albumin (HSA), shedding light on the intricate interactions between M1069 and its target as well. The molecular docking results suggest that the drug molecule binds very well with the HSA protein when compared to A2AAR with the docking score of −7.02 kcal/mol. To substantiate the molecular interactions between the drug and the protein structure, comprehensive molecular dynamic simulations were performed for a period of 100 ns. This approach facilitated an in-depth analysis of the dynamic relationships and behaviors between the drug and the protein, offering valuable insights into their intermolecular dynamics and stability. Subsequently, DFT analysis is conducted to assess the inhibitory efficacy of the drug, employing the B3LYP technique. Additionally, an investigation into the pharmacological ADMET parameters of the drug molecule resulted in gastrointestinal absorption. These outcomes contribute to a better understanding of the interaction dynamics between the drug and the proteins, providing valuable insights that can enhance the drug discovery process.
