Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a cheap polar aprotic solvent used in organic synthesis and in pharmacology because of its low cost, high stability, and non-toxicity. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are highly convergent processes and have good atom, step, and pot economies. In this communication, the multicomponent transformation of salicylaldehyde, malononitrile dimer, and nitromethane in DMSO at room temperature was investigated to give 2,4-diamino-5-(nitromethyl)-5H-chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile in good yield. The structure of the earlier unknown compound was confirmed by means of elemental analysis, mass-, nuclear magnetic resonance, and infrared spectroscopy.

Manganese is an abundant element that plays critical roles and is at the reaction center of several enzymes. In order to promote an understanding of the behavior of manganese(II) ion with several aliphatic ligands, in this work, the stability and spectral behavior of the complexes with manganese(II) and ethylenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine or 1,4-butanediamine were explored. A spectrophotometric study of its speciation in methanol was performed at 293 K. The formation constants obtained for these systems were: manganese(II)-ethylenediamine log β110 = 3.98 and log β120 = 7.51; for the manganese(II)-1,3-propanediamine log β110 = 5.08 and log β120 = 8.66; and for manganese(II)-1,4-butanediamine log β110 = 4.36 and log β120 = 8.46. These results were obtained by fitting the experimental spectrophotometric data using the HypSpec software. The complexes reported in this study show a spectral pattern that could be related to a chelate effect in which the molar absorbance is not directly related to the increase in the carbon chain of the ligands.

Two 4H-pyran- and four dihydropyridine-based 2-formimidate-3-carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized via the conventional solvothermal and microwave radiation methods. The use of the latter technique led to the formation of the desired products in the order of minutes as compared to the former. The formation of the 2-formimidate-3-carbonitrile derivatives was confirmed using spectroscopic techniques whilst the molecular geometry and intermolecular interactions were investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The formimidate functional group was found to adopt an E configuration in all compounds and this coincides with those of closely related compounds on the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). Classical but weak intermolecular C—H…O, C—H…N and C—H…π hydrogen bonds were observed in the crystal lattice. According to the Hirshfeld surface analysis, the C—H…π hydrogen bonds contributed the most towards the Hirshfeld surface (14.3–23.9%) than the other two hydrogen bonding types (9.6–12.7%).

The 4-(adamant-1-yl)phenyl- and 4-(adamant-1-yl)phenoxy- moieties, which are endowed with promising drug-like properties, are functionalized at the side chain termini as hydroxamic acids. The phenoxy acetohydroxamic derivative, 1c, shows the most interesting profile in terms of activity and toxicity against trypanosomes and merits further investigation.

We have previously published on a new triazolic phosphonic α-amino ester in position 4 on the triazole ring of a naphthalene ester. The aim of the present paper was to describe its crystallographic study by XRD. The crystal structure of naphthalen-2-yl 1-(benzamido(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c. The naphthalene system is almost planar and makes dihedral angles of 67.1(2)° and 63.9(2)° with the triazole ring and the phenyl cycle, respectively. The phosphorus atom is surrounded by three oxygen atoms and one carbon atom building a distorted tetrahedron. It is also noted, that one of the two ethyl groups is disordered. In the crystal, the molecules are connected through C-H…O and N-H…O hydrogen bonds to build dimers that are linked together by C-H…O hydrogen bonds, in addition to C-H…π interactions. The presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond contributes to the stability of the molecular conformation by completing the S(5) cycle.

Among their many applications, metal pincer complexes are of interest for their properties as catalysts in cross-coupling reactions. Pincer ligands exhibit tridentate coordination to the metal center and occupy the meridional positions forming two chelate rings. The two Ni(II) POCOP pincer complexes with a fluorothiophenolate ligand reported herein, with formulas [Ni(SC6F4-4-H){C6H2-3-(C2H3O)-2,6-(OPiPr2)2}] (2) and [Ni(SC6F5){C6H2-3-(C2H3O)-2,6-(OPiPr2)2}] (3), are isostructural. Additionally, they are prepared in a facile manner from the chloride compound [NiCl{C6H2-3-(C2H3O)-2-6-(OPiPr2)2}] (1). The complexes exhibited slightly distorted square planar geometries around the metal. The fluorothiophenolate ligands are responsible of the C—H···F, C—F···π and C=O···πF interactions that contribute to stabilize the crystal structure arrays.

We elaborated a convenient one-step approach for the synthesis of previously unknown 2-(5-acetyl-7-methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzofuran-3-yl)acetic acid. The suggested protocol includes the multicomponent reaction of acetovanillone, 4-methoxyphenylglyoxal and Meldrum’s acid. We have demonstrated that the considered reaction is a one-pot telescoped process including the preliminary condensation of the components in MeCN followed by acid-catalyzed cyclization. The structure of the synthesized product was confirmed by 1H, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass-spectrometry.

Based on previously highlighted structural features, the development of highly selective 5-HT1A receptor inhibitors is closely linked to the incorporation of a 4-alkyl-1-arylpiperazine scaffold on them. In this paper, we present the synthesis of two new compounds bearing the 2-MeO-Ph-piperazine moiety linked via a three carbon atom linker to the amine group of 1-adamantanamine and memantine, respectively. Both were tested for their binding affinity against 5-HT1A receptor. N-(3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decan-1-amine fumarate (8) and N-(3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)-3,5-dimethyl-tricylo[3.3.1.13,7]decan-1-amine fumarate (10) proved to be highly selective ligands towards 5-HT1A receptor with a binding constant of 1.2 nM and 21.3 nM, respectively, while 5-carboxamidotriptamine (5-CT) (2) was used as an internal standard for this assay with a measured Ki = 0.5 nM.

This work describes the synthesis and the cytotoxic evaluation of thiophene and thienopyrimidine derivatives. The investigated compound was subjected to target prediction that indicated its high affinity to kinases and to Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) specifically. Molecular docking screening was performed on three different JAK2 proteins downloaded from the Protein Data Bank (PDB: 5AEP, 4C62 and 3ZMM). In vitro kinase inhibitory activity was evaluated and then compound cytotoxicity was performed on three different cancerous cell lines (HT-29, HepG-2, and MCF-7). Marked cytotoxic activity of the thienopyrimidine derivative against the HepG-2 cell line was demonstrated, reflected by its IC50 value of 8.001 ± 0.0445 μM, which is better than that of the reference standard (IC50 13.91 ± 2.170 μM). Pharmacokinetic studies revealed good well permeability and GI absorption with no violations against Lipinski’s rule.

The 1,2,3-triazole ring system can be easily obtained by copper-catalyzed click reaction of azides with alkynes. 1,2,3-Triazole exhibits a myriad of biological activities, including antimalarial, antibacterial, and antiviral activities. We herein reported the synthesis of quinoline-based [1,2,3]-triazole hybrid via Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction of 4-azido-7-chloroquinoline with alkyne derivative of 2-bromobenzaldehyde. The compound was fully characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), ultraviolet (UV), and high-resolution mass spectroscopies (HRMS). This compound was screened in vitro against two different normal cell lines. Preliminary studies attempted to evaluate its interaction with Delta RBD of spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 by bio-layer interferometry. Finally, the drug-likeness of the compound was also investigated by predicting its pharmacokinetic properties.

Herein we report the obtaining of 1-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-2- (4-isobutylphenyl)propan-1-one and its characterization. The newly obtained hybrid and its derivatives (hybrids of ibuprofen with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, and piperidine) were screened for their in vitro antioxidant, antitryptic, and inhibition of albumin denaturation activity. The lipophilicity was established using both reversed-phase thin layer chromatography and in silico calculations.
