The present work describes the synthesis of a novel heterocyclic azo dye by general diazonization of 2-amino-4,5-dimethylthiazole followed by the diazo- coupling of the resulting diazonium ion with 5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)phenol to obtain ligand L. This was characterized using Fourier-transformed infrared and electronic spectrophotometry. Ligand L was further coordinated with five metal ions, M:L, 1:2 [M = Cu(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II)]. The coordination compounds obtained were characterized by electronic, IR spectrophotometry, magnetic susceptibility and percentage metal analyses. The results obtained suggested that a thiazoylazo dye was obtained as ligand L. It was proposed that two molecules of the solvent coordinated to the metal ion in addition with the ligands to give an octahedral geometry for copper(II), manganese(II) and nickel(II) complexes. On the other hand, square planar geometry was suggested for zinc(II) and cobalt(II) complexes. The anti-infla- mmatory activity of the ligand and coordination compounds was evaluated using four in vitro-based assays viz: xanthine oxidase and lipoxygenase inhibition assay, membrane stability and protein denaturation assay. The synthesized compounds generally exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity in all the assays carried out. However, the reference standards, in this instance, were more effective in the case of xanthine oxidase, lipoxygenase and protein denaturation inhibitory assays. For the membrane stability study, the coordination compounds and ligand L elicited more potent anti-inflammatory activity than the standard drug.

Chemical investigation of the MeOH extract from the leaves of C. glauca yielded nine known triterpenoids (1-9) belonging to the cycloartane and friedelane series. Two of these compounds namely glaucartanoic acid A (1) and 3β,21β-dihydroxy-30-nor-(D:A)-friedoolean-20(29)-en-27-oic acid (5) were subjected to chemical derivatizations and afforded five new derivatives: diacetylglaucartanoic acid A (1a), 24-acetylglaucartanoic acid A (1b), glaucartanoic acid A methyl ester (1c), 24-methoxyglaucartanoic acid A methyl ester (1d), and 3β,21β-diacetoxy-30-nor-(D:A)-friedoolean-20(29)-en-27-oic acid (5a). Their structures were assigned based on their NMR and MS data and by comparison with literature values. The MeOH extract, isolated compounds and some new semi-synthetic derivatives were subjected to in vitro antimicrobial assays against a panel of pathogenic microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi using broth microdilution method. The MeOH extract displayed activity towards all the tested pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains with good activity (MIC against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 and Shigella flexneri SDINT. Compounds 3 and 5 showed the most potent antimicrobial effect.

A series of novel substituted benzimidazole (7a - n) derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS). The substitution was done in position -1 and -2 by appropriate groups. These compounds are obtained by N-alkylation reaction with thiomethyl-1H-benzimidazole intermediates (5a - g). Design of intermediates (5a - g) was made by condensation reaction between 2-methylbenzimidazole thiourunium salt (3) and functionalized halides (4) in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Among the twenty-one compounds synthesized, ten were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity on three bacterial strains namely: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. Only E. coli ATTC 25922 was susceptible to the synthesized derivatives 5g, 7f and 7h with a significant antibacterial activity (CMI is between 250 and 500 μg/mL).

Non-template [2 + 2] condensation of benzene-1,4-dicarboxaldehyde with two diamines: ethane-1,2-diamine and propane-1,2-diamine was carried out to give Ligands 1 and 2. Additionally, template [1 + 2] condensation of benzene-1,4-dicarboxaldehyde with ethane-1,2-diamine and propane-1,2-diamine were also carried out to give Ligands 3 and 4. These were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR, UV-Vis and infra-red spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Coordination compounds of each ligand were further synthesized using Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. They were characterized by Uv-vis, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy EDX. The ligands and complexes were further analyzed for their antimicrobial activities and extraction efficiency. The results obtained suggested that tetraaza macrocyclic and linear compounds were obtained for [2 + 2] and [1 + 2] condensation reactions respectively. Coordination compounds of the macrocyclic ligand yielded octahedral geometry for Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of Ligand 1 and square planar geometry for Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of Ligand 2. On the other hand square planar geometry was proposed for coordination compounds of Ligand 3 and 4 exception for the Ni(II) complex of Ligand 3. All ligands coordinated to the metal ion in a tetradentate fashion. In some cases chelation enhanced the antimicrobial activity of some of the ligands. The results further showed that Ligands 1-4 effectively extracted cadmium(II). zinc(II) and lead(II) ions in solution.

Coordination compounds of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one with iron(III), cobat(III) and chromium(III) were synthesized with M:L (1:2). Mixed ligand coordination compounds of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane using the same metal ions were also synthesized M:L1:L2 (1:1:1) where L1 is 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one and L2 is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The coordination compounds obtained were characterized using electronic and infrared spectral analyses, magnetic susceptibility and percentage metal analysis. They were also evaluated for their cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. The result obtained suggested that octahedral geometry was obtained for all the compounds, as a result of additional two molecules of the solvent coordinated to the metal ions. Both the primary and secondary ligands coordinated in a bidentate fashion. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxicity, although none was as active as the standard. The cobalt(III) mixed ligand complex elicited the highest activity. The synthesized compounds all exhibited good to moderate antioxidant activity.

Phytochemical investigation of the seeds of Pentaclethra macrophylla led to the isolation of a mixture of two new aromatic monoterpene glycosides, pentamacrophylloside A (1a) and pentamacrophylloside B (1b), together with six known secondary metabolites: Comososide (2), secopentaclethroside (3), caffeoylputrescine (4), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), 2-hydroxymethyl-5-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol (6), and sucrose (7). Their structures were elucidated mainly by extensive spectroscopic analysis (1D and 2D NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry and by comparison of their spectral data with those of related compounds. The extracts and compounds 3 and 4 were screened for their antimicrobial activity. The n-BuOH fraction showed a weak effect against three microbial strains: Candida albicans (MIC: 256 μg/mL), Enterococcus faecalis (MIC: 512 μg/mL), and Proteus mirabilis (MIC: 512 μg/mL) while no significant inhibition was observed for pure compounds when compared to ketoconazole and ciprofloxacin used as references. Furthermore, the ethnobotany and pharmacology of this plant are reviewed, and the chemophenetic significance of the isolation of the above secondary metabolites is discussed. This is the first report on the isolation of aromatic monoterpenoids from a plant of the genus Pentaclethra.

The objective of this study was to assess the association between uric acid and the metabolic syndrome and its components in homozygous sickle cell patients. This is a prospective case/control study of sickle cell SS patients. Each patient was matched to a control of the same sex and age ± 2 years. In our framework, we used the criteria for defining metabolic syndrome according to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2009. Assay of all biological parameters was performed with the ARCHITECT ci4100, Abbot (Chicago, Illinois, USA). Data were collected with Excel 2016 software and statistical analysis was done using XLSTAT 2019 software. Student’s T test was used to compare means and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. The study population consisted of 100 homozygous sickle cell patients with an average age of 26 years with a sex ratio of 0.58. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our population according to the IDF 2009 was 2%. In our study 28% of patients presented with hyperuricemia. Uricaemia was significantly elevated in patients with components of the metabolic syndrome, in particular in 33% of patients with a large waist circumference, in 25% of hypertensive patients, in 50% of patients with hypertriglyceridemia and in 60% of patients with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol levels. Significant correlations were found between uricemia and certain components of the metabolic syndrome, in particular the level of triglycerides (r = 0.31, p = 0.002), blood sugar (r = 0.16; p = 0.012), around size (r = 0.071; p ≤ 0.05), HDL-Cholesterol (r = ﹣0.01; p = 0.018), PAS (r = 0.076; p = 0.035) and PAD (r = ﹣0.18; p = 0.0015).
