Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of research were conducted on the pyran and thiophene derivatives, which were attributed to have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-plasmodial, as well as acting as caspase, hepatitis C and cancer inhibitors. OBJECTIVE The multicomponent reactions of the 5-acetyl-2-amino-4-(phenylamino)-thiophene-3-carbonitrile produced biologically active target molecules like pyran and their fused derivatives. Comparison between regular catalytic multi-component reactions and solvent-free ionic liquids immobilized multicomponent was studied. METHODS The multicomponent reactions in this work were carried out not only under the reflux conditions using triethylamine as a catalyst but also in solvent-free ionic liquids immobilized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) catalysts. RESULTS Through this work, thirty-one new compounds were synthesized and characterized and were evaluated toward the six cancer cell lines, namely A549, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC-7721 and H460. The most active compounds were further screened toward seventeen cancer cell lines classified according to the disease. In addition, the effect of compound 11e on the A549 cell line was selected to make further morphological changes in the cell line. The Molecular docking studies of 11e and 11f were carried and promising results were obtained. CONCLUSION The synthesis of heterocyclic compounds derived from thiophene derivatives has been receiving significant attention. After a detailed optimizing study, it has been found that the solvent-free ionic liquids immobilized multi-component syntheses afforded a high yield of compounds, opening a greener procedure for this synthetically relevant transformation. Many of the synthesized compounds can be considered anticancer agents, enhancing further studies.

Abstract
Chalcones and their derivatives have been widely studied due to their versatile pharmacological and biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor effects. These compounds have shown suitable antiviral effects through the selective targeting of a variety of viral enzymes, including lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), fumarate reductase, protein tyrosine phosphatase, topoisomerase-II, protein kinases, integrase/protease, and lactate/isocitrate dehydrogenase, among others. Chalcones and their derivatives have displayed excellent potential for combating pathogenic bacteria and fungi (especially, multidrug-resistant bacteria). However, relevant mechanisms should be further explored, focusing on inhibitory effects against DNA gyrase B, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA), and efflux pumps (e.g., NorA), among others. In addition, the antifungal and antiparasitic activities of these compounds (e.g., antitrypanosomal and antileishmanial properties) have prompted additional explorations. Nonetheless, systematic analysis of the relevant mechanisms, biosafety issues, and pharmacological properties, as well as clinical translation studies, are vital for practical applications. Herein, recent advancements pertaining to the antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antifungal activities of chalcones and their derivatives are deliberated, focusing on the relevant mechanisms of action, crucial challenges, and future prospects. Furthermore, due to the great importance of greener and more sustainable synthesis of these valuable compounds, especially on an industrial scale, the progress made in this field has been briefly discussed. Hopefully, this review can serve as a catalyst for researchers to delve deeper into the exploration and designing of novel chalcone compounds with medicinal properties, especially against pathogenic viruses and multidrug-resistant bacteria as major causes of concern for human health.

Abstract
Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlcN-6-P synthase) is known as a promising target for antimicrobial agents and antidiabetics. Several compounds of natural or synthetic origin have been identified as inhibitors of this enzyme. This set comprises highly selective l-glutamine, amino sugar phosphate or transition state intermediate cis-enolamine analogues. Relatively low antimicrobial activity of these inhibitors, poorly penetrating microbial cell membranes, has been improved using the pro-drug approach. On the other hand, a number of heterocyclic and polycyclic compounds demonstrating antimicrobial activity have been presented as putative inhibitors of the enzyme, based on the results of molecular docking to GlcN-6-P synthase matrix. The most active compounds of this group could be considered promising leads for development of novel antimicrobial drugs or antidiabetics, provided their selective toxicity is confirmed.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant bacterial strains continues to be one of the major challenges of medicine. For this reason, the importance of searching for novel structures of antibacterial drugs chemically different from the currently known antibiotics is still of great importance. In this study, we synthesized the thiosemicarbazide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives and tested them for antibacterial activity. In in vitro tests, we examined the activity of the synthesized substances against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria strains. While all 1,3,4-thiadiazoles tested lacked significant activity, the antimicrobial response of the thiosemicarbazides was moderate and it was also dependent on the type and position of the substituent on the phenyl ring. The highest activity towards all Gram-positive bacteria strains was shown by all three linear compounds containing the trifluoromethylphenyl group in the structure. The MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values were in the range of 3.9–250 µg/mL. Additionally, we try to explain the mechanism of the antibacterial activity of the tested compounds using the molecular docking to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, following previous reports on the molecular basis of the activity of thiosemicarbazides. Docking simulations allow the purposing dual mechanism of the antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds through inhibition of topoisomerase IV DNA gyrase with the moderate prevalence of the topoisomerase pathway.

Abstract
A simple fluorescent chemosensor 5-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)-1-phenyl-4, 5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (PY) has been synthesized for the detection of Cd2+ ion.The fluorescent probe PY shows high selectivity for Cd2+in the presence of othermetal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, Pb2+, Ni2+, and Al3+). The fluorescence intensity of the PY has been strongly quenched with increasing concentration of Cd2+ (0-0.9 μM)via photoinduced electron transfer mechanism. The binding constant of Cd2+ to PY for the 1:1 complex isfound to be 5.3 × 105 M-1with a detection limit of 0.09 μM. The chemosensor was successfully applied for determination of Cd2+ in different water samples (tap, river, and bottled water) showing good recovery values in the range of 94.8-101.7% with RSD less than 3%. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also performed to investigate electronic and spectral characteristics which are quite agreeable with the experimental value. The results show that the synthesized fluorescent chemosensor shows good selectivity towards Cd2+ and can be readily applied for the detection of Cd2+ in real samples including water samples.

Abstract
N-formyl pyrazoline derivatives (3a-3l) were designed and synthesized via Michael addition reaction through cyclization of chalcones with hydrazine hydrate in presence of formic acid. The structural elucidation of N-formyl pyrazoline derivatives was carried out by various spectroscopic techniques such as 1H, 13C NMR, FT-IR, UV-visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Anticancer activity of the pyrazoline derivatives (3a-3l) was evaluated against human lung cancer (A549), fibrosarcoma cell lines (HT1080) and human primary normal lung cells (HFL-1) by MTT assay. The results of anticancer activity showed that potent analogs 3b and 3d exhibited promising activity against A549 (IC50 = 12.47 ± 1.08 and 14.46 ± 2.76 µM) and HT1080 (IC50 = 11.40 ± 0.66 and 23.74 ± 13.30 µM) but low toxic against the HFL-1 (IC50 = 116.47 ± 43.38 and 152.36 ± 22.18 µM). The anticancer activity of potent derivatives (3b and 3d) against A549 cancer cell line was further confirmed by flow cytometry based approach. DNA binding interactions of the pyrazoline derivatives 3b and 3d have been carried out with calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) using absorption, fluorescence and viscosity measurements, circular dichroism and cyclic voltammetry. Antioxidant potential of N-formyl pyrazoline derivatives (3a-3l) has been also estimated through DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical and H2O2. Results revealed that all the compounds exhibited significant antioxidant activity. In silico molecular modelling and ADMET properties of pyrazoline derivatives were also studied using PyRx software against topoisomerase II receptor with PDB ID: 1ZXM to explore their best hits. MD simulation of 3b and 3d was also carried out with topoisomerase II for structure-function correlation in a protein. HuTopoII inhibitory activity of the analogs (3a-3l) was examined by relaxation assay at varying concentrations 100-1000 µM.

Abstract
Owing to the growing demand for compelling antimicrobial agents, chalcones and
their heterocyclic derivatives have engrossed prodigious attention of medicinal chemists as an
effective clinical template for the synthesis of such agents on account of their structural diversity
and molecular flexibility. Chalcones are considered as a fortunate scaffold in the field of
both synthetic as well as natural product chemistry. They are reflected as a remarkable section
of logically occurring pharmacophores that possess a comprehensive scale of biological activities,
such as anti-cancer, anti-malarial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory, rendering them
with a high degree of assortment and noble therapeutic profile. They act as a crucial intermediate
for the synthesis of novel heterocyclic skeletons holding biodynamic behavior. This
review emphasizes on different aspects of chalcones including their natural sources, recent
synthetic methodologies and evaluation of their anti-microbial potential. It is expected as a persuasive compilation on
chalcones that may benefit the experts to design potent and less toxic chalcone referents as medicinal agents.

Abstract
Twenty-four cannabinoids active against MRSA SA1199B and XU212 were optimized at WB97XD/6-31G(d,p), and several molecular descriptors were obtained. Using a multiple linear regression method, several mathematical models with statistical significance were obtained. The robustness of the models was validated, employing the leave-one-out cross-validation and Y-scrambling methods. The entire data set was docked against penicillin-binding protein, iso-tyrosyl tRNA synthetase, and DNA gyrase. The most active cannabinoids had high affinity to penicillin-binding protein (PBP), whereas the least active compounds had low affinities for all of the targets. Among the cannabinoid compounds, Cannabinoid 2 was highlighted due to its suitable combination of both antimicrobial activity and higher scoring values against the selected target; therefore, its docking performance was compared to that of oxacillin, a commercial PBP inhibitor. The 2D figures reveal that both compounds hit the protein in the active site with a similar type of molecular interaction, where the hydroxyl groups in the aromatic ring of cannabinoids play a pivotal role in the biological activity. These results provide some evidence that the anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity of these cannabinoids may be related to the inhibition of the PBP protein; besides, the robustness of the models along with the docking and Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) results allow the proposal of three new compounds; the predicted activity combined with the scoring values against PBP should encourage future synthesis and experimental testing.
