Abstract
CONTEXT Today, the treatment or prevention of cancer, which is one of the most important causes of death, has a very important place. On the other hand, the discovery of new antimicrobial agents is also important because of antibiotic resistance that can occur in humans. For these reasons, in this study, the synthesis, quantum chemical calculations, and in silico studies of a novel azo molecule with high bioactive potential were carried out. In the first step of the synthesis part, (3-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline compound, which is the raw material of the drug used in cancer treatments, was synthesized. In the second step, a novel product 2-hydroxy-5-((3-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)diazenyl)benzaldehyde (HTB) was obtained as a result of the reaction of salicylaldehyde coupling to this compound. Then, as it was being spectroscopically described, its geometry was optimized. In order to perform quantum chemical calculations, the molecular structure, vibrational spectroscopic data, electronic transition absorption wavelengths, HOMO and LUMO analyses, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and potential energy surface (PES) of the molecule were all taken into consideration. Using molecular docking simulations, in silico interactions of the HTB molecule with some anticancer and antibacterial-related proteins were studied. In addition, the ADMET parameters of the HTB were also predicted. METHODS The structure of the synthesized compound was elucidated using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR (APT), 19F-NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopic methods. The optimized geometry, molecular electrostatic potential diagram and vibrational frequencies of the HTB molecule were calculated at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The TD-DFT method was used to calculate HOMOs-LUMOs and electronic transitions, and the GIAO method was used to calculate chemical shift values. It was observed that the experimental spectral data were in good agreement with the theoretical ones. Molecular docking simulations of the HTB molecule using 4 different proteins were investigated. Two of these proteins were involved in simulating anticancer activity and the other two in simulating antibacterial activity. According to molecular docking studies, the binding energies of the complexes formed by the HTB compound with the 4 selected proteins were between -9.6 and -8.7 kcal/mol. HTB showed the best affinity with VEGFR2 protein (PDB ID: 2XIR) and the binding energy of this interaction was found to be -9.6 kcal/mol. The HTB-2XIR interaction was examined with molecular dynamics simulation for 25 ns and it was determined that this complex was stable during this time. In addition, the ADMET parameters of the HTB were also calculated, and from these values, it was determined that the compound has very low toxicity and high oral bioavailability.

Abstract
The investigation of the procedures for the multi-component synthesis of heterocycles has attracted the interest of organic and medicinal chemists. The use of heterogeneous catalysts, especially transition metal catalysts in organic synthesis, can provide a new, improved alternative to traditional methods in modern synthetic chemistry. The main focus is on the utilization of silver as a catalyst for the multi-component synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. The present review describes some important reported studies for the period of 2010 to 2020. Conclusion: The present review addresses some of the important reported studies on multi-component synthesis of heterocycles in the period of 2010-2020. These approaches were performed under classical and nonclassical conditions, using Ag salts, Ag NPs, Ag on the support, Ag as co-catalysts with other transition metals, ionic liquids, acidic or basic materials. Most of the reported reactions were performed under solvent-free conditions or in green solvents and the utilized catalysts were mostly recyclable. The main aim of the present review is to provide the organic chemists with the most appropriate procedures in the multi-component synthesis of desired heterocycles using silver catalysts.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is an important pathogen that causes serious public health problems. Currently, therapeutic drugs for toxoplasmosis cause serious side effects, and more effective and novel substances with relatively low toxicity are urgently needed. Ursolic acid (UA) has many properties that can be beneficial to healthcare. In this study, we synthesized eight series of UA derivatives bearing a tetrazole moiety and evaluated their anti-T. gondii activity in vitro using spiramycin as a positive control. Most of the synthesized derivatives exhibited better anti-T. gondii activity in vitro than UA, among which compound 12a exhibited the most potent anti-T. gondii activity. Furthermore, the results of biochemical parameter determination indicated that 12a effectively restored the normal body weight of mice infected with T. gondii, reduced hepatotoxicity, and exerted significant anti-oxidative effects compared with the findings for spiramycin. Additionally, our molecular docking study indicated that the synthesized compounds could act as potential inhibitors of T. gondii calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (TgCDPK1), with 12a possessing strong affinity for TgCDPK1 via binding to the key amino acids GLU129 and TYR131.

Abstract
The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) pathway has been implicated in tumor angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis. Therefore, the inhibition of this pathway is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of various types of cancers. Here, we designed and synthesized 31 ursolic acid (UA) derivatives containing a tetrazole moiety and evaluated them for their potential anti-tumor activities as HIF-1α transcriptional inhibitors. Of these, compound 14d (IC50 0.8 ± 0.2 µM) displayed the most potent activity and compounds 14a (IC50 4.7 ± 0.2 µM) exhibited the most promising biological profile. Analysis of the structure-activity relationships of these compounds with HIF-1α suggested that the presence of a tetrazole group located at C-28 of the UA derivatives was critical for their inhibitory activities.
