Abstract
Viruses are a real threat to every organism at any stage of life leading to extensive infections and casualties. N-heterocycles can affect the viral life cycle at many points, including viral entrance into host cells, viral genome replication, and the production of novel viral species. Certain N-heterocycles can also stimulate the host's immune system, producing antiviral cytokines and chemokines that can stop the reproduction of viruses. This review focused on recent five- or six-membered synthetic N-heterocyclic molecules showing antiviral activity through SAR analyses. The review will assist in identifying robust scaffolds that might be utilized to create effective antiviral drugs with either no or few side effects.

Mol Divers 2024:10.1007/s11030-024-10843-7. [PMID: 38584199 DOI: 10.1007/s11030-024-10843-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
In this paper, a series of phenoxypyridine-containing chalcone derivatives (L1-L28) were designed and synthesized, characterized on NMR and HRMS. Ningnanmycin (NNM) was used as a control agent. The results of the antiviral activity testing showed that the curative activity EC50 values of L1 and L4 against TMV were 140.5 and 90.7 μg/mL, respectively, which were superior to that of NNM (148.3 μg/mL). The EC50 values of 154.1, 102.6 and 140.0 μg/mL for the anti-TMV protective activities of L1, L4 and L15 were superior to that of NNM (188.2 μg/mL). The mechanism of action between L4 and NNM and tobacco mosaic virus capsid protein (TMV-CP) was preliminarily investigated. The results of microscale thermophoresis (MST) experiments showed that L4 had a strong binding affinity for TMV-CP with a dissociation constant Kd value of 0.00149 µM, which was better than that of NNM (2.73016 µM). The results of molecular docking experiments showed that L4 formed shorter hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues of TMV-CP than NNM and formed more amino acid residues than NNM, which indicated that L4 was more tightly bound to TMV-CP. This study suggested that phenoxypyridine-containing chalcone derivatives can be used as new anti-TMV drugs through further research and development.

BPR3P0128, a non-nucleoside RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and exerts synergistic antiviral activity in combination with remdesivir. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024; 68:e0095623. [PMID: 38446062 PMCID: PMC10989008 DOI: 10.1128/aac.00956-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), a highly conserved molecule in RNA viruses, has recently emerged as a promising drug target for broad-acting inhibitors. Through a Vero E6-based anti-cytopathic effect assay, we found that BPR3P0128, which incorporates a quinoline core similar to hydroxychloroquine, outperformed the adenosine analog remdesivir in inhibiting RdRp activity (EC50 = 0.66 µM and 3 µM, respectively). BPR3P0128 demonstrated broad-spectrum activity against various severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern. When introduced after viral adsorption, BPR3P0128 significantly decreased SARS-CoV-2 replication; however, it did not affect the early entry stage, as evidenced by a time-of-drug-addition assay. This suggests that BPR3P0128's primary action takes place during viral replication. We also found that BPR3P0128 effectively reduced the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in human lung epithelial Calu-3 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2. Molecular docking analysis showed that BPR3P0128 targets the RdRp channel, inhibiting substrate entry, which implies it operates differently-but complementary-with remdesivir. Utilizing an optimized cell-based minigenome RdRp reporter assay, we confirmed that BPR3P0128 exhibited potent inhibitory activity. However, an enzyme-based RdRp assay employing purified recombinant nsp12/nsp7/nsp8 failed to corroborate this inhibitory activity. This suggests that BPR3P0128 may inhibit activity by targeting host-related RdRp-associated factors. Moreover, we discovered that a combination of BPR3P0128 and remdesivir had a synergistic effect-a result likely due to both drugs interacting with separate domains of the RdRp. This novel synergy between the two drugs reinforces the potential clinical value of the BPR3P0128-remdesivir combination in combating various SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

[PMID: 38168568 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2023.105812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
A series of myricetin derivatives containing benzoxazinone were designed and synthesized. The structures of all compounds were characterized by NMR and HRMS. The structure of Y4 had been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The test results of EC50 values of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) suggested that Y8 had the best curative and protective effects, with EC50 values of 236.8, 206.0 μg/mL, respectively, which were higher than that of ningnanmycin (372.4, 360.6 μg/mL). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) experiments demonstrated that Y8 possessed a strong binding affinity for tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP), with a dissociation constant (Kd) value of 0.045 μM, which was superior to the ningnanmycin (0.700 μM). The findings of molecular docking studies revealed that Y8 interacted with multiple amino acid residues of TMV-CP through the formation of non-covalent bonds, which had an effect on the self-assembly of TMV particles. The malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase assay (SOD) content assays also fully verified that Y8 could stimulate the plant immune system and enhance disease resistance by reducing MDA content and increasing SOD content. In summary, myricetin derivatives containing benzoxazinone could be considered to further research and development as novel antiviral agents.

Abstract
Doxazosin is a quinazoline derivative widely used in medicine as a drug. In this study, a combined experimental and computational approach based on the time-dependent density functional theory was used to elucidate the primary events following the photoexcitation of DOX upon interaction with light. The photophysical properties and photochemical reactivity of DOX were investigated by steady-state and time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. DOX in H2O in S0 is present in two prototropic forms, with the protonated form dominating (∼91 %, pKa = 6.75). The computations indicated that the most basic quinazoline nitrogen is at the position 1. Upon excitation, DOX deprotonates in the singlet excited state (pKa* = 1.31), and the decay times from the singlet excited state of 5 ns and 13 ns are attributed to the non-protonated and protonated forms of DOX, respectively. The quantum yield of fluorescence in H2O is 0.51 and 0.64 in basic media. The quantum yield of intersystem crossing along with triplet-triplet molar absorption coefficient at 520 nm and the lifetime of the triplet excited state were obtained by LFP, ΦISC = 0.17, ε520 = 11600 ± 100 M-1 cm-1 and τ = 11 μs, respectively. Furthermore, LFP enabled detection of DOX radical formed by the photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer from the benzodioxane-carbamoyl to the protonated aminoquinazoline. Computations were used to back up the assignments of the detected transients and to construct an energy diagram with all plausible photophysical and photochemical pathways. These results elucidated the mechanisms of DOX photochemistry leading to DOX photodegradation which is relevant to environmental studies. They also provided insights into the potential use of such a quinazoline derivative in other applications such as push-pull chromophores or fluorescent probes.

Abstract
The highly transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2, the causative pathogen of the COVID-19 pandemic, bring new waves of infection worldwide. Identification of effective therapeutic drugs to combat the COVID-19 pandemic is an urgent global need. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), an essential enzyme for viral RNA replication, is the most promising target for antiviral drug research since it has no counterpart in human cells and shows the highest conservation across coronaviruses. This review summarizes recent progress in studies of RdRp inhibitors, focusing on interactions between these inhibitors and the enzyme complex, based on structural analysis, and their effectiveness. In addition, we propose new possible strategies to address the shortcomings of current inhibitors, which may guide the development of novel efficient inhibitors to combat COVID-19.

Abstract
AbstractThe synthesis of alicyclic 2-methylenethiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolinones is performed via base-promoted cascade reactions, starting from either alicyclic β-amino propargylamides using carbon disulfide, or from alicyclic ethyl 2-isothiocyanatocarboxylates by addition of propargylamine. In both cases the cascade reaction proceeds by way of a favoured 5-exo-dig process during the second ring closure, as confirmed by full NMR spectroscopic assignments. Moreover, a high-yielding retro-Diels–Alder (RDA) reaction is performed on the norbornene derivatives leading to 2-methylene-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5(3H)-ones. The obtained compounds exert modest antiproliferative activities against a panel of human gynaecological cancer cell lines.

Abstract
The discovery of new scaffolds and targets for pesticides is still a huge challenge facing the sustainable development of modern agriculture. In recent years, quinazoline derivatives have achieved great progress in drug discovery and have attracted great attention. Quinazoline is a unique bicyclic scaffold with a variety of biological activities, which increases the possibilities and flexibility of structural modification, showing enormous appeal in the discovery of new pesticides. Therefore, the agricultural biological activities, structure-activity relationships (SAR), and mechanism of action of quinazoline derivatives in the past decade were reviewed systematically, with emphasis on SAR and mechanism. Then, we prospected the application of the quinazoline scaffold as a special structure in agricultural chemical discovery, hoping to provide new ideas for the rational design and mechanism of novel quinazoline agricultural chemicals in the future.

Abstract
We sought the crystal packing preferences of the chalcone scaffold by analyzing 232 single-component crystal structures of chalcones with a small (six or fewer non-hydrogen atoms) substituent on either or both rings, including the unsubstituted molecule. This covers 216 molecules, as some are polymorphic, and 277 independent molecular conformations, as 16% of the crystal structures have more than one symmetry independent molecule. Quantum mechanical conformational profiles of the unsubstituted molecule and the almost 5000 crystal structures within 20 kJ mol-1 of the global minimum generated in a crystal structure prediction (CSP) study have been used to complement this analysis. Although π conjugation would be expected to favor a planar molecule, there are a significant number of crystal structures containing nonplanar molecules with an approximately 50° angle between the aromatic rings. The relative orientations of the molecules in the inversion-related dimers and translation-related dimers in the experimental crystal structures show the same trends as in the CSP-generated structures for the unsubstituted molecule, allowing for the substituent making the side-to-side distances larger. There is no type of dimer geometry associated with particularly favorable lattice energies for the chalcone core. Less than a third of the experimental structures show a face-to-face contact associated with π···π stacking. Analysis of the experimental crystal structures with XPac and Mercury finds various pairs of isostructural crystals, but the largest isostructural set had only 15 structures, with all substituents (mainly halogens) in the para position. The most common one-dimensional motif, found in half of the experimental crystal structures, is a translation-related side-to-side packing, which can be adopted by all the observed conformations. This close-packed motif can be adopted by chalcones with a particularly wide variety of substituents as the substituents are at the periphery. Thus, although the crystal structures of the substituted chalcones show thermodynamically plausible packings of the chalcone scaffold, there is little evidence for any crystal engineering principle of preferred chalcone scaffold packing beyond close packing of the specific molecule.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the present work, two novel compounds were synthesized using zinc oxide nanoparticles through green synthesis protocol. The zinc oxide nanoparticles catalyzed reactions were afforded good to excellent yields of the target compounds 76.3-98.6%. METHODOLOGY The synthesized compounds were characterized by UV-Vis, IR and NMR. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds was screened against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The synthesized compounds displayed potent activity against the bacterial strains. Among them, compound 8 showed strong activity against Bacillus cereus relative to the standard drug. On the other hand, compound 9 exhibited strong activity against Escherichia coli. The molecular docking study of the synthesized compounds was conducted to investigate their binding pattern with DNA gyrase and E. coli dihydropteroate synthase and all of them were found to have minimum binding energy ranging from -6.0 to -7.3 kcal/mol, and the best result achieved with compound 8 and 9. CONCLUSION The findings of the in vitro antibacterial and molecular docking analysis demonstrated that the synthesized compounds have potential of antibacterial activity and can be further optimized to serve as a lead compound.

Abstract
Nitrogen heterocyclic rings have participated to constitute most of the drugs and several pharmacologically related compounds. The existence of such hetero atoms/groups in heterocyclic systems privileged specificities in their biological objectives. Particularly, quinazoline and triazole are biologically imperative platforms known to be linked with various pharmacological activities. Some of the prominent pharmacological responses ascribed to these systems are analgesic, antiinflammatory, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, antihistaminic, antihypertensive, anticancer, antimicrobial, antitubercular, antiviral and antimalarial activities. This diversity in the pharmacological outputs for both triazole and quinazoline systems has encouraged the medicinal chemistry researchers to create several chemical routes aiming at the incorporation of two rings in one molecule named triazoloquinazoline system. This system has shown multiple potential activities against numerous targets. Correlation the specific structural features of triazoloquinazoline system with its pharmacological purposes has successively been achieved by performing several pharmacological examinations and structure-activity relationship studies. The development of triazoloquinazoline derivatives and the understanding of their pharmacological targets offer opportunities for novel therapeutics. This review mainly emphases on the medicinal chemistry aspects of triazoloquinazolines including synthesis, reactivity, biological activity and structure activity relationship studies (SARs). Moreover, this review collates literature reported by researchers on triazoquinazolines and provides detailed attention on their analogs pharmacological activities in the perspective of drug development and discovery.

Abstract
2-N-aminoquinazolines were prepared by consecutive SN Ar functionalization. X-ray structures display the nitrogen lone pair of the 2-N-morpholino group in conjugation with the electron deficient quinazoline core and thus representing electronic push-pull systems. 2-N-aminoquinazolines show a positive solvatochromism and are fluorescent in solution and in solid state with quantum yields up to 0.73. Increase in electron donor strength of the 2-amino substituent causes a red-shift of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) band (300-400 nm); whereas the photoluminescence emission maxima (350-450 nm) is also red-shifted significantly along with an enhancement in photoluminescence efficiency. HOMO-LUMO energies were estimated by a combination of electrochemical and photophysical methods and correlate well to those obtained by computational methods. ICT properties are theoretically attributed to an excitation to Rydberg-MO in SAC-CI method, which can be interpreted as n-π* excitation. 7-Amino-2-N-morpholino-4-methoxyquinazoline responds to acidic conditions with significant increases in photoluminescence intensity revealing a new turn-on/off fluorescence probe.

Abstract
Chalcones (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-ones, a class of biosynthetic precursor molecules of flavonoids, have a wide variety of biological applications. Besides the natural products, many synthetic derivatives and analogs became an object of continued interest in academia and industry. In this work, a synthesis and an extensive structural study were performed on a sulfonamide chalcone 1-Benzenesulfonyl-3-(4-bromobenzylidene)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-one with potential antineoplastic application. In addition, in silico experiments have shown that the sulfonamide chalcone fits well in the ligand-binding site of EGFR with seven μ-alkyl binding energy interactions on the ligand-binding site. Finally, the kinetic stability and the pharmacophoric analysis for EGFR indicated the necessary spatial characteristics for potential activity of sulfonamide chalcone as an antagonist.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a fatal respiratory illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The identification of potential drugs is urgently needed to control the pandemic. RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a conserved protein within RNA viruses and plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle, thus making it an attractive target for development of antiviral drugs. In this study, 101 quinoline and quinazoline derivatives were screened against SARS-CoV-2 RdRp using a cell-based assay. Three compounds I-13e, I-13h, and I-13i exhibit remarkable potency in inhibiting RNA synthesis driven by SARS-CoV-2 RdRp and relatively low cytotoxicity. Among these three compounds, I-13e showed the strongest inhibition upon RNA synthesis driven by SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, the resistance to viral exoribonuclease activity and the inhibitory effect on the replication of CoV, thus holding potential of being drug candidate for treatment of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
AbstractNucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between 4-arylthio-2-chloroquinazolines and NaN3 takes place with an unusual sulfanyl group dance and leads to the formation of 5-(arylthio)tetrazolo[1,5-c]-quinazolines, which do not form the azide tautomer and do not undergo CuAAC reactions with alkynes. On the other hand, 5-azidotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline (formally described as 2,4-diazidoquinazoline) undergoes regioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution with thiols at C5 and forms 5-(alkyl/arylthio)tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines, the structure of which has been proved by X-ray crystallography. The latter exist in tautomeric equilibrium with their 2-azidoquinazoline form, which provides possibility for copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, leading to the 4-alkyl/arylthio-2-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)quinazolines.

Abstract
Background:
Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, 75 million people have been infected
with the HIV and about 32 million people have died of AIDS. Investigation of the molecular mechanisms critical
to the HIV replication cycle led to the identification of potential drug targets for AIDS therapy. One of the most
important discoveries is HIV-1 protease, an enzyme that plays an essential role in the replication cycle of HIV.
Objective:
The aim of the present study is to synthesize and investigate anti-HIV-1 protease activity of some
chalcone derivatives with the hope of discovering new lead structure devoid drug resistance.
Methods:
20 structurally similar chalcone derivatives were synthesized and their physico-chemical characterization
was performed. Binding of chalcones to HIV-1 protease was investigated by fluorimetric assay. Molecular
docking studies were conducted to understand the interactions.
Results:
The obtained results revealed that all compounds showed anti-HIV-1 protease activity. Compound C1
showed the highest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.001 μM, which is comparable with commercial
product Darunavir.
Conclusion:
It is difficult to provide general principles of inhibitor design. Structural properties of the compounds
are not the only consideration; ease of chemical synthesis, low molecular weight, bioavailability, and
stability are also of crucial importance. Compared to commercial products the main advantage of compound C1 is
the ease of chemical synthesis and low molecular weight. Furthermore, compound C1 has a structure that is different
to peptidomimetics, which could contribute to its stability and bioavailability.

Abstract
In this work, twenty-eight chalcone derivatives containing a purine (sulfur) ether moiety were synthesized and their antiviral activities were evaluated. Biological results showed that compound 5d exhibited outstanding inactive activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in vivo (EC50 = 65.8 μg mL−1), which is significantly superior to that of ribavirin (EC50 = 154.3 μg mL−1). Transmission electron microscopy indicated that compound 5d can break the integrity of TMV particles. The results of microscale thermophoresis, fluorescence titration and molecular docking showed that compound 5d had stronger combining affinity (Ka = 1.02 ×105 L mol−1, Kd = 13.4 μmol L−1) with TMV coat protein (TMV-CP), which is due to the formation of five hydrogen bonds between compound 5d and the amino-acid residues of TMV-CP. These findings revealed that compound 5d can effectively inhibit the infective ability of TMV. This work provides inspiration and reference for the discovery of new antiviral agents. The chalcone derivatives containing a purine (sulfur) ether moiety were synthesized. The antiviral mechanism suggested that the antiviral activity of compound 5d may depend on its stronger binding affinity with TMV-CP.![]()

Abstract
A series of novel chalcone derivatives containing the 1,2,4-triazine moiety were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analyses. Antiviral bioassays revealed that most of the compounds exhibited good antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at a concentration of 500 μg mL-1. The designated compound 4l was 50% effective in terms of curative and protective activities against TMV with 50% effective concentrations (EC50) of 10.9 and 79.4 μg mL-1, which were better than those of ningnanmycin (81.4 and 82.2 μg mL-1). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) also showed that the binding of compound 4l to coat protein (TMV-CP) yielded a K d value of 0.275 ± 0.160 μmol L-1, which was better than that of ningnanmycin (0.523 ± 0.250 μmol L-1). At the same time, molecular docking studies for 4l with TMV-CP (PDB code:1EI7) showed that the compound was embedded well in the pocket between the two subunits of TMV-CP. Meanwhile, compound 4a demonstrated excellent antibacterial activities against Ralstonia solanacearum (R. solanacearum), with an EC50 value of 0.1 μg mL-1, which was better than that of thiodiazole-copper (36.1 μg mL-1) and bismerthiazol (49.5 μg mL-1). The compounds act by causing folding and deformation of the bacterial cell membrane as observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chalcone derivatives thus synthesized could become potential alternative templates for novel antiviral and antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a common source of biological stress that significantly affects plant growth and development. It is also useful as a model in studies designed to clarify the mechanisms involved in plant viral disease. Plant responses to abiotic stress were recently reported to be regulated by complex mechanisms at the post-translational modification (PTM) level. Protein phosphorylation is one of the most widespread and major PTMs in organisms. Using immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) enrichment, high-pH C18 chromatography fraction, and high-accuracy mass spectrometry (MS), a set of proteins and phosphopeptides in both TMV-infected tobacco and control tobacco were identified. A total of 4905 proteins and 3998 phosphopeptides with 3063 phosphorylation sites were identified. These 3998 phosphopeptides were assigned to 1311 phosphoproteins, as some proteins carried multiple phosphorylation sites. Among them, 530 proteins and 337 phosphopeptides corresponding to 277 phosphoproteins differed between the two groups. There were 43 upregulated phosphoproteins, including phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate phosphate dikinase, protein phosphatase 2C, and serine/threonine protein kinase. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first phosphoproteomic analysis of leaves from a tobacco cultivar, K326. The results of this study advance our understanding of tobacco development and TMV action at the protein phosphorylation level.

Abstract
An efficient asymmetric synthesis of chiral β-amino acid ester derivatives containing a 4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl amine moiety was developed. This catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction gave target products in high yields (95%) and excellent enantioselectivities (>99% ee) using a cinchona-based squaramide catalyst under solvent-free, one-pot conditions. Antiviral bioassays indicated that some of the chiral products exhibited higher antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus than the commercial compound ribavirin.

Abstract
A new concise and facile method was explored to synthesize a series of novel chalcone derivatives containing a purine and benzenesulfonamide moiety and their antiviral properties were evaluated against TMV and CMV. Biological assays indicated that several of the derivatives exhibited significant anti-TMV and anti-CMV activities in vivo. In particular, compound d2 displayed excellent inactivating activity against TMV, with the EC50 value of 51.65 μg/mL, which was better than that of ribavirin (150.45 μg/mL). Molecular docking showed that there are four hydrogen bonds between compound d2 and TMV coat protein (TMV-CP). Compound d2 demonstrated strong binding capacity to TMV-CP with Ka = 1.58 × 105 L/mol and Kd = 12.16 μM. These findings indicated that chalcone derivatives are worthy of further research and development as templates for new antiviral agents.

Abstract
A series of quinazoline derivatives containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) and Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs). Antibacterial bioassays indicated that most of target compounds exhibited significant antibacterial activities against Xac and Rs in vitro. Strikingly, compounds 6d-6i, 6m-6r and 6u-6x showed antibacterial activity against Xac, with [Formula: see text] values ranging from 14.42 to 38.91 [Formula: see text]g/mL, which are better than that of bismerthiazol (39.86 [Formula: see text]g/mL). Based on the antibacterial activity against Xac, comparative molecular filed analysis and comparative molecular similarity index analysis models were generated to investigate the structure-activity relationship of title compounds against Xac. The analytical results indicated that the above models exhibited good predictive accuracy and could be used as practical tools for guiding the design and synthesis of more potent quinazoline derivatives containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety.

Abstract
Various 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether derivatives containing 2-chloro-5-methylene pyridine, 2-chloro-5-methylene thiazole, 3,4-dimethoxy-2-methylene pyridine, and N,N-dimethyl-2-ethylamino moieties were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) via the turbidimeter test in vitro. Preliminary bioassay results confirmed good antibacterial activities for most of these compounds. Among these substances, compound 6r showed the best inhibitory effect against Xoo, and its half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) value is 4.78μg/mL, which is superior to that of commercial agent bismerthiazol (87.55μg/mL). We then performed a label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of the response of Xoo to 6r. A total of 1363 proteins were identified in the control and treatment groups. Upon treatment with the minimum inhibitory concentration, 349 proteins were found to be differentially expressed (fold changes>1.5, p<0.05), enriched, and may be involved in purine metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferulic acid and quinazoline derivatives possess good antiviral activities. In order to develop novel compounds with high antiviral activities, a series of ferulic acid ester derivatives containing quinazoline were synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activities. RESULTS Bioassays indicated that some of the compounds exhibited good antiviral activities in vivo against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). One of the compounds demonstrated significant curative and protective activities against TMV and CMV, with EC50 values of 162.14, 114.61 and 255.49, 138.81 mg L-1 , respectively, better than those of ningnanmycin (324.51, 168.84 and 373.88, 272.70 mg L-1 ). The values of q2 and r2 for comparative molecular field analysis and comparative molecular similarity index analysis in the TMV (0.508, 0.663 and 0.992, 0.930) and CMV (0.530, 0.626 and 0.997, 0.981) models presented good predictive abilities. CONCLUSION Some of the title compounds demonstrated good antiviral activities. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship models revealed that the antiviral activities depend on steric and electrostatic properties. These results could provide significant structural insights for the design of highly active ferulic acid derivatives. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In the present work, the title chalcone, (2E)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-{[(1E)-(4-fluorophenyl) methylene]amino}phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (abbreviated as FAMFC), was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound is crystallized in the monoclinic system with non-centrosymmetric space group P21 and hence it satisfies the essential condition for materials to exhibit second-order nonlinear optical properties. The molecular structure was further confirmed by using FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The title crystal is transparent in the Vis-NIR region and has a direct band gap. The third-order nonlinear optical properties were investigated in solution (0.01M) by Z-scan technique using a continuous wave (CW) DPSS laser at the wavelength of 532nm. The title chalcone exhibited significant two-photon absorption (β=35.8×10-5cmW-1), negative nonlinear refraction (n2=-0.18×10-8cm2W-1) and optical limiting (OL threshold=2.73kJcm-2) under the CW regime. In support of the experimental results, a comprehensive theoretical study was carried out on the molecule of FAMFC using density functional theory (DFT). The optimized geometries and frontier molecular orbitals were calculated by employing B3LYP/6-31+G level of theory. The optimized molecular structure was confirmed computationally by IR vibrational and 1H NMR spectral analysis. The experimental UV-Vis-NIR spectrum was interpreted using computational chemistry under time-dependent DFT. The static and dynamic NLO properties such as dipole moments (μ), polarizability (α), and first hyperpolarizabilities (β) were computed by using finite field method. The obtained dynamic first hyperpolarizability β(-2ω;ω,ω) at input frequency ω=0.04282a.u. is predicted to be 161 times higher than urea standard. The electronic excitation energies and HOMO-LUMO band gap for FAMFC were also evaluated by DFT. The experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement, and the NLO study suggests that FAMFC molecule can be a potential candidate in the nonlinear optical applications.

Abstract
A series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole-chalcone conjugates were synthesized and their in vitro and in vivo antiviral activities were evaluated via microscale thermophoresis method and half-leaf method, respectively. The in vitro results indicated that compounds 7g, 7l, 8h, and 8l displayed good antiviral activity against TMV, with the binding constant values of 5.93, 6.15, 6.02, and 5.04μM, respectively, which were comparable to that of Ninnanmycin (6.78μM) and even better than that of Ribavirin (99.25μM). The in vivo results demonstrated that compounds 7g, 7l, 8h, and 8l exhibited remarkable anti-TMV activity with the EC50 values of 33.66, 33.97, 33.87 and 30.57µg/mL, respectively, which were comparable to that of Ningnanmycin (36.85µg/mL) and superior to that of Ribavirin (88.52µg/mL). Interestingly, the trend of antiviral activity in vivo was consistent with the in vitro results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive decline (e.g., memory loss), which mainly occurs in the elderly, is termed dementia. In the present study, we intended to explore the cholinesterase inhibitory activity of some novel synthesized chalcones, together with their effect on β-amyloid anti-aggregation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A novel class of chalcone derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and mass and elemental analysis. These derivatives were later used for the determination of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory and b-amyloid anti-aggregation activity. RESULTS The results of the study showed that among the developed compounds, 8g inhibits AChE more prominently than BuChE, as suggested by a selectivity index (SI) of 2.88. Furthermore, the most potent compound, 8g, showed considerable action in inhibition of β-secretase and Aβ aggregation, but not as prominent as that of curcumin as a standard. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, our study revealed a novel class of chalcone derivatives as a selective inhibitor of AChE with considerably action against β-secretase and Aβ aggregation. Our results may be useful in developing AD drug therapy and warrant further investigation to generate more advanced analogues.
