Guanidine dicycloamine-based analogs: green chemistry synthesis, biological investigation, and molecular docking studies as promising antibacterial and antiglycation leads

Dicyandiamide (DCD) reacted with amino acids 1a-f to produce biguanides 2 and 4 and guanidine pyrazolones 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8, according to the reaction. DCD exhibited the following reactions: imidodicarbonimidicdiamide 9, diazocan-2-ylguanidine 10, methyl biguanidylthion 11, N-carbamothioylimidodicarbonimidicdiamide 12, 2-guanidinebenzoimidazole 13a, 2-guanidinylbenzoxazole 13b, and 2-guanidinylbenzothiazol 13c. These reactions were triggered by 6-amino caproic acid, thioacetamide, thiourea, o-aminophenol, o-aminothiophenol, and anthranilic acid, respectively. Compound 2 had the least antimicrobial activity, while compound 13c demonstrated the most antibacterial impact against all bacterial strains. Furthermore, in terms of antiglycation efficacy (AGEs), 12, 11, and 7 were the most effective AGE cross-linking inhibitors. Eight and ten, which showed a considerable inhibition on cross-linking AGEs, come next. Compounds 4 and 6 on the other hand have shown the least suppression of AGE production. The most promising antiglycation scaffolds 8, 11, and 12 in the Human serum albumin (HAS) active site were shown to be able to adopt crucial binding interactions with important amino acids based on the results of in silico molecular docking. The most promising antiglycation compounds 8, 11, and 12 were also shown to have better hydrophilicity, acceptable lipophilicity, gastrointestinal tract absorption (GIT), and blood-brain barrier penetration qualities when their physicochemical properties were examined using the egg-boiled method.

Recent advances in the synthesis of new benzothiazole based anti-tubercular compounds

This review highlights the recent synthetic developments of benzothiazole based anti-tubercular compounds and their in vitro and in vivo activity. The inhibitory concentrations of the newly synthesized molecules were compared with the standard reference drugs. The better inhibition potency was found in new benzothiazole derivatives against M. tuberculosis. Synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives was achieved through various synthetic pathways including diazo-coupling, Knoevenagel condensation, Biginelli reaction, molecular hybridization techniques, microwave irradiation, one-pot multicomponent reactions etc. Other than recent synthetic developments, mechanism of resistance of anti-TB drugs is also incorporated in this review. Structure activity relationships of the new benzothiazole derivatives along with the molecular docking studies of selected compounds have been discussed against the target DprE1 in search of a potent inhibitor with enhanced anti-tubercular activity.

α-Aminoazoles/azines: key reaction partners for multicomponent reactions

Aromatic α-aminoazaheterocycles are the focus of significant investigations and exploration by researchers owing to their key role in diverse biological and physiological processes. The existence of their derivatives in numerous drugs and alkaloids is due to their heterocyclic nitrogenous nature. Therefore, the synthesis of a structurally diverse range of their derivatives through simple and convenient methods represents a vital field of synthetic organic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) provide a platform to introduce desirable structure diversity and complexity into a molecule in a single operation with a significant reduction in the use of harmful organic waste, and hence have attracted particular attention as an excellent tool to access these derivatives. This review covers the advances made from 2010 to the beginning of 2020 in terms of the utilization of α-aminoazaheterocycles as synthetic precursors in MCRs.

Colorimetric Metal Sensing of Fe3+ and Cr3+ and Photophysical and Electrochemical Studies Based on Benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate and Its Derivatives

Benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3, 2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate derivatives (4a-i) containing electron-donor and electron-acceptor groups with remarkable photophysical and electrochemical properties were synthesized. The changes in absorption properties of compound 4a in the presence of various cations were evaluated. Compound 4a can act as a colorimetric sensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of Fe³⁺ and Cr³⁺in acetonitrile solvent. Using measurements of absorbance intensity, the binding constants for the 4a + Fe³⁺ complex and 4a + Cr³⁺ complex were found to be 1.958 × 10⁸ and 1.5442 × 10⁷ M^-1 with lower detection limits of 52 and 110 nM, respectively. ¹H NMR titrations, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) studies, electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectra, and Job's plots were used to verify the mechanism of the specific reaction and colorimetric sensing of 4a + Fe³⁺ and 4a + Cr³⁺. The application of compound 4a for the determination of Fe³⁺ in spiked samples of iron tablets in different environmental water samples showed a satisfactory result with good recovery.
