Efficient synthesis of some [1,3]-oxazine derivatives in the presence of solid acid nano catalyst based on ferrierite and study on their activity against breast cancer through molecular docking calculation

In this research, the magnetic solid acid nanocatalyst based on ferrierite has been prepared and used as catalyst for the green synthesis of some [1,3]-oxazine derivatives in water at room temperature. The synthesized compounds were obtained in high to excellent yields after short reaction times and the structure of synthesized products were investigated by spectroscopic methods such as: FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The prepared magnetic solid acid catalyst was characterized using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, elemental mapping, TGA and VSM analysis methods. Magnetic catalyst has easy separation ability, which leads to better and easier recycling. The preparation and synthesis of [1,3]-oxazine derivatives were carried out at room temperature in the presence of M-FER/TEPA/SO3H. Easy workup, green solvent (water) and also short reaction times with high to excellent yield of products, are some of advantageous of presented method. Docking calculations on the structure of the synthesized compounds proved their medicinal properties against breast cancer cells.

Catalytic synthesis of α-amino chromone phosphonates and their antimicrobial, toxicity and potential HIV-1 RT inhibitors based on silico screening

The α-amino phosphonates exhibit a wide range of biological properties which create demand for simple and efficient synthetic routes of new molecules. In this study synthesis of a new series of derivatives of α-amino chromone phosphonates (ACPs) was reported using RhBT catalyst. The RhBT was first prepared by simply mixing boron nitride in a solution of rhodium acetate, under inert atmosphere for a week followed by filtration (yield: 92%). The catalyst can be re-used for up to four times and showed minimal loss of activity. The ACPs was prepared in a one pot reaction containing chromone based aldehydes, aniline derivatives and diethyl phosphite. The structures of these compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR and high resolution mass spectral analysis. The synthesized ACPs were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against three bacteria B. cereus, M. luteus, E. coli and one fungus C. albicans. The ACPs displayed selective toxicity toward the brine shrimp (Artemia salina). Compounds 8j and 8m was found to be less toxic to the brine shrimp and may have more valuable biological application. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were conducted to predict the possible therapeutic potential of ACPs. The compounds (8i, 8j, 8k and 8m) were predicted as highly active HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Green synthesis of α-aminophosphonate derivatives on a solid supported TiO2 -SiO2 catalyst and their anticancer activity

Syntheses of a new series of biologically potent α-aminophosphonates were accomplished by one-pot Kabachnik-Fields reaction using TiO2-SiO2 as solid supported catalyst under microwave irradiation conditions. The chemical structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by analytical and spectral (IR, 1H, 13C, 31P NMR, and mass) data. Their anticancer nature was evaluated by screening the in vitro activity on two human cancer cell lines, HeLa and SK-BR-3. Compounds 4i and 4o showed the best activity on these cancer cells even though the majority of the compounds, and particularly 4l and 4p, have good cytotoxic activity against them.
