- Description: An amide mono substituted benzothiozole phthalocyanine: zinc(II) 3-(4-((3,17,23-tris(4-(benzo [d]thiazol-2-yl)phenoxy)-9-yl)oxy) phenyl)amide phthalocyanine (NH2BzPc) was covalently linked to undoped and heteroatom doped detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs): B@DNDs, P@DNDs, S@DNDs, N@DNDs, and SandN@DNDs There is a drastic decrease in highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) – lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gaps for nanoconjugates compared to DNDs alone. B@DNDs-NH2BzPc, SandN@DNDs-NH2BzPc, and P@DNDs-NH2BzPc showed superior photodynamic therapy (PDT) effects. DNDs-NH2BzPc also had a small HOMO-LUMO gap, but did not show improved PDT activity compared to the Pc alone, suggesting doping of DNDs is important. This study shows improved PDT effect on Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 breast cancer lines at 7.63%, 7.62% and 6.5% cell viability for P@DNDs-NH2BzPc, SandN@DNDs-NH2BzPc and B@DNDs-NH2BzPc, respectively.

- Description: A series of fourteen 6-substituted-2-(methoxyquinolin-3-yl) methyl)-N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl) benzamides was prepared from commercially available anilines infive simple and convenient synthetic steps. The structures of all new productswere confirmed by routine spectroscopic methods: IR,1Hand13 CNMR,andHRMS (electrospray ionization). The resulting arylquinolinecarboxamides weresubjected to biological screening assay forin vitroinhibitory activity againstMyco-bacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv strain. Several compounds exhibited modestantitubercular activity with compounds8–11,15and19exhibiting MIC90valuesin the range of 32–85μM. The antitubercular data suggested that inhibition ofMtbcan be imparted by the introduction of a non-polar substituent on C-6 of thequinoline scaffold. Further, to understandthepossiblemodeofactionoftheseries, the reported compounds and bedaquiline were subjected toin silicodock-ing studies againstMtbATPase to determine their potential to interfere with themycobacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase. The results showed thatthese compounds have the potential toserve as antimycobacterial agents.In silicoADME pharmacokinetic prediction results showed the ability of thesearylquinolinecarcboxamides to be absorbed, distributed, metabolized andexcreted efficiently.

- Description: The Cs2CO3-catalysed condensation of 5-bromo-7-azabenzimidazole with a series of bromomethyl ketones has afforded a small library of ten, novel 5-bromo-1-[(N-substututed-carbamoyl)methyl]-7-azabenzimidazoles. Rotamerism in the products, as evidenced by the splitting of 1H- and 13C-NMR signals, is attributed to hindered internal rotation about the amide N-C(=O) bond, and has been explored using dynamic NMR (DNMR) analysis and computational methods at the GIAO B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level of theory. Coalescence temperatures have been obtained for representative examples and rotational barriers determined experimentally and theoretically. A detailed theoretical analysis has been undertaken to explore conformations which may contribute to the relative populations of the s-cis and s-trans rotamers. The products have also been screened for cytotoxicity and activity against two parasitic protozoan strains (Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei).

- Description: Aza-Michael reactions of a pyridine-3-carbaldehyde-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adduct with various amines have afforded a series of 10 diastereomeric products, stereochemical analysis of which has been achieved using a combination of NMR (1D, 2D and NOESY) and computer modelling methods. Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) 1H NMR spectroscopy and in silico molecular docking studies have been used to explore the HIV-1 protease sub-type C enzyme binding potential of these compounds in five different HIV-1 PR enzyme receptors.
