Monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitory activities of 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazole substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives

Methyl 2-[(Z)-5-bromo-2-oxoindolin-3-yl-idene]-hydrazinecarbodi-thio-ate

The title compound, C10H8BrN3OS2, a brominated di-thio-carbazate imine deriv-ative, was obtained from the condensation reaction of S-methyl-dithio-carbazate (SMDTC) and 5-bromo-isatin. The essentially planar mol-ecule exhibits a Z configuration, with the di-thio-carbazate and 5-bromo-isatin fragments located on the same sides of the C=N azomethine bond, which allows for the formation of an intra-molecular N-H⋯Ob (b = bromo-isatin) hydrogen bond generating an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers characterized by an R 2 2(8) loop motif. In the extended structure, mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C-H⋯S and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, C-Br⋯S halogen bonds and aromatic π-π stacking.

Synthesis of anti-depressant molecules via metal-catalyzed reactions: a review

Depression is one of the most mutilating conditions in the world today. It has been difficult to make advancements toward better, more effective therapies since the introduction of antidepressant medicines in the late 1950s. One important field of medicinal chemistry is the synthesis of antidepressant molecules through metal-catalyzed procedures. The important role that different transition metals, including iron, nickel, ruthenium, and others, serve as catalysts in the synthesis of antidepressants is examined in this review. Key structural motifs included in antidepressant drugs such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and others can be synthesized in a variety of effective ways using metal-catalyzed steps. This review examines current developments in the catalytic synthesis of antidepressants and their potential application over the previous thirteen years.

Design and synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure as potent hEGFR inhibitors

EGFR is one of the important mediators of the signaling cascade that determines key roles in various biological processes such as growth, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis in the cell in response to external and internal stimuli. In recent years, it has been proven that although this enzyme activity is tightly regulated in normal cells, if the enzyme activity cannot be controlled, it can lead to malignancy. EGFR is also considered a prominent macromolecule in targeted cancer chemotherapy. For this purpose, a comprehensive modeling studies were conducted against EGFR protein and novel molecules containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure were suggested to be synthesized. Among the synthesized molecules, compounds 7c, 8c, 8f and 8g were determined to have significant IC50 values. Compound 8g was found to have the IC50 value closest to the very well-known EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib with its noncompetitive inhibition form. Ki value of compound 8g was calculated as 0.00232 µM.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
