Rational design, synthesis and anti-proliferative evaluation of novel benzosuberone tethered with hydrazide-hydrazones

Two different series of novel analogues of benzosuberones (5a-m and 9a-w) tethered with hydrazone-hydrazides (functional group alterations: Head group to Tail group and vice versa) have been synthesized by the reaction of appropriate aldehydes with substituted hydrazides in excellent yields (87-94%) and their structures were confirmed by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, ESI-MS and HRMS. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-proliferative activity against different human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MDA MB 231, MIAPACA and IMR32). Among the synthesized compounds, six compounds 5 a, 5 b, 5 d, 5 e, 5 f and 9 v exhibited potent anti-proliferative activity with GI50 values less than 0.01 μM against MIAPACA, MDA-MB-231 and IMR32 human cancer cell lines.

A new polymorph of N-(2-{N'-[(1E)-2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene]hydrazinecarbon-yl}phen-yl)benzamide

The title compound, C21H17N3O3, is a new polymorph of an already published structure [Shashidhar et al. (2006 ▶). Acta Cryst. E62, o4473-o4475]. The previously reported structure crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, whereas the structure reported here is in the tetra-gonal space group I41/a. The bond lengths and angles are similar in both structures. The mol-ecule adopts an extended conformation via intra-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds; the terminal phenyl ring and the hy-droxy-lphenyl ring are twisted with respect to the central benzene ring by 44.43 (7) and 21.99 (8)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.

Therapeutic potential of hydrazones as anti-inflammatory agents

Hydrazones are a special class of organic compounds in the Schiff base family. Hydrazones constitute a versatile compound of organic class having basic structure (R₁R₂C=NNR₃R₄). The active centers of hydrazone, that is, carbon and nitrogen, are mainly responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the hydrazones and, due to the reactivity toward electrophiles and nucleophiles, hydrazones are used for the synthesis of organic compound such as heterocyclic compounds with a variety of biological activities. Hydrazones and their derivatives are known to exhibit a wide range of interesting biological activities like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, analgesic, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiprotozoal, antioxidant, antiparasitic, antiplatelet, cardioprotective, anthelmintic, antidiabetic, antitubercular, trypanocidal, anti-HIV, and so forth. The present review summarizes the efficiency of hydrazones as potent anti-inflammatory agents.

Bach adsorption study for the extraction of silver ions by hydrazone compounds from aqueous solution

Sorbent materials based on a hydrazone Schiff base compound, C₁₄H₁₁BrN₄O₄, were prepared either by immobilizing the ligand into sol-gel (SG1) or bonding to silica (SG2). The sorbent materials were characterized by FT-IR, EDX, SEM, TEM, and TGA. The sorption characteristics of a matrix of eight transition metal ions (Ag⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Fe³⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Mn²⁺) using batch method were studied. Several key parameters that affected the extraction efficiency such as pH, contact time, metal ions concentration, and gel size (for SGl) were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the physically immobilized hydrazone sorbent (SG1) exhibits highest selectivity towards Ag⁺ ions, while the chemically bonded hydrazone sorbent (SG2) exhibits high extraction for all metal ions tested. However, for practical applications such as the removal and preconcentration of Ag⁺, the physically immobilized sorbent (SG1) is preferred.

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and X-ray structure of [1,2a]benzimidazol-2-yl amidine

[1,2a]Benzimidazol-2-yl amidine was synthesized by adding cyclopentanamine to iminoester in ethanol. The structure of amidine 1 was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 1H-1H NOESY, 13C NMR, DEPT, XHCOR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry thermograms (DSC), elementary analysis as well as by X-ray diffraction. The single crystals suitable for X-ray measurement were obtained by recrystallization at room temperature. The amidine group of a model was found to have Z configuration in the crystal. This compound crystallizes in a P2(1)/n monoclinic unit cell with parameters a=12.679(2) Å, b=8.468(3) Å, c=13.108(2) Å, β=96.538(2)°, V=1398.2 Å3 and Z=4.

Application of molecular topology for the prediction of reaction yields and anti-inflammatory activity of heterocyclic amidine derivatives

Topological-mathematical models based on multiple linear regression analyses have been built to predict the reaction yields and the anti-inflammatory activity of a set of heterocylic amidine derivatives, synthesized under environmental friendly conditions, using microwave irradiation. Two models with three variables each were selected. The models were validated by cross-validation and randomization tests. The final outcome demonstrates a good agreement between the predicted and experimental results, confirming the robustness of the method. These models also enabled the screening of virtual libraries for new amidine derivatives predicted to show higher values of reaction yields and anti-inflammatory activity.

4-[(1,3-Dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2-yl)meth-yl]-N'-[(E)-4-nitro-benzyl-idene]benzene-sulfono-hydrazide dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(26)H(18)N(4)O(6)S·C(2)H(6)OS, shows an E conformation of the hydrazone double bond. The presence of a methyl-ene group between the benzo[de]isoquinoline and benzene-sulfonyl moieties allows the 4-nitro-phenyl ring and the benzo[de]isoquinoline system to be parallel with respect to each other, so that the mol-ecule adopts a U-shaped spatial conformation. The dihedral angle between mean planes of these aromatic groups is 4.4 (1)°. This special arrangement enables neighboring mol-ecules to be inter-calated, forming slipped π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.535 (2) Å] between the 4-nitro-phenyl and benzo[de]isoquinoline groups and point-to-face C-H⋯π inter-actions between the benzo[de]isoquinoline and benzene-sulfonyl aromatic systems. In addition, the crystal packing also features an inter-molecular N-H⋯O inter-action involving the amine group and the dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol-ecule.

Conductivity measurements reveal that the complexes are nonelectrolytes. Spectroscopy and other analytical studies reveal distorted square planar geometry for copper, square-pyramidal geometry for oxovanadium, and tetrahedral geometry for other complexes. Redox behavior of the copper(II) complex has been studied with cyclic voltammetry, and the biological activities of the ligand and metal complexes have been studied against several microorganisms by the well diffusion method. All synthesized compounds can serve as potential photoactive materials as indicated from their characteristic fluorescence properties. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the ligand was measured and found to be higher than that of urea and KDP. The SEM image of the copper(II) complex implies that the size of the particles is 50 nm.
