Indolone-N-oxides have antiplasmodial properties against Plasmodium falciparum at the erythrocytic stage, with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. The mechanism of action of indolone derivatives involves the production of free radicals, which follows...
The escalating threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi underscores an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the antimicrobial activities of two series of 3-alkylidene-2-indolone derivatives. W...
A series of novel indolone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their binding affinities toward MDM2 and MDMX. Some compounds showed potent MDM2 and moderate MDMX activities. Among them, compound A13 exhibited the most potent affinity towar...
Five new alkaloids have been isolated from the lipophilic extract of the Antarctic tunicate Synoicum sp. Deep-sea specimens of Synoicum sp. were collected during a 2011 cruise of the R/V Nathanial B. Palmer to the southern Scotia Arc, Antarctica. Cru...
Vibrio diabolicus A1SM3 strain was isolated from a sediment sample from Manaure Solar Saltern in La Guajira and the produced crude extracts have shown antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and cytotoxic activity a...
This review focuses on the synthesis of polyheterocyclic structures with a variety of medicinal and optoelectronic applications, starting from readily available 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-one analogs. First, routes toward the 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4...
Pyrano [3,4-b]indol-1(9H)-ones and indolo [2,3-c]coumarins are important classes of heterocyclic compounds with versatile biological activities. Herein, we describe a straightforward and scalable synthesis of 3,6-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo [4′,3&prime...
Dunnione, a natural product isolated from the leaves of Streptocarpus dunnii (Gesneriaceae), acts as a substrate for quinone-reductases that may be associated with its antimalarial properties. Following our exploration of reactive oxygen species-prod...
The present work describes the synthesis of a new copper (II) complex with bidentate ligands based on oxindole (indolin-2-one) derivatives, namely: 1H,1′H,1″H-[2,3′:2′,3″-terbenzo[b]pyrrol]-2″(3″H)-one (L1) and [sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC)] (...
Garcinia gummi-gutta, commonly known as Garcinia cambogia (syn.), is a popular traditional herbal medicine known for its role in treating obesity, and has been incorporated into several nutraceuticals globally for this purpose. The fruit rind is also...
Objective: Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) is an important pattern recognition receptor. It mainly participates in the recognition of single-stranded RNA and is closely related to various disease processes. In humans, the enormous potential of TLR7 antag...
