Project description:The syntheses of hydroxy-substituted kynurenic acid (KYNA) derivatives have been achieved by an optimised Conrad-Limpach procedure. The derivatives were then reacted with morpholine and paraformaldehyde, as a representative amine and aldehyde, in a modified Mannich reaction. The newly introduced substituents altered the preferred reaction centre of the KYNA skeleton. A systematic investigation of substitutions was carried out, using different reaction conditions, resulting in mono- or disubstituted derivatives. Product selectivity and regioselectivity were rationalised by DFT calculations disclosing HOMO distribution and NBO charges on the potential nucleophilic centres in the anion of the appropriate KYNA ester assumed to be active components towards the iminium ion intermediate.

Project description:The reaction of 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione 3 with formaldehyde solution and primary aromatic amines or 1-substituted piperazines, in ethanol at room temperature yielded the corresponding N-Mannich bases 3-arylaminomethyl-5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones 4a-l or 3-[(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)methyl]-5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones 5a-d, respectively. The in vitro inhibitory activity of compounds 4a-l and 5a-d was assessed against pathogenic Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. The piperazinomethyl derivatives 5c and 5d displayed broad-spectrum antibacterial activities the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) 0.5-8 μg/mL) and compounds 4j, 4l, 5a, and 5b showed potent activity against the tested Gram-positive bacteria. In addition, the anti-proliferative activity of the compounds was evaluated against prostate cancer (PC3), human colorectal cancer (HCT-116), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HePG-2), human epithelioid carcinoma (HeLa), and human breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines. The optimum anti-proliferative activity was attained by compounds 4l, 5a, 5c, and 5d.

Project description:A series of novel Mannich bases were designed, synthesized, and screened for their antimicrobial activity. The target compounds were synthesized from 4-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione and different piperazine derivatives. The structures of the products were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The activity of piperazine derivatives against bacteria (Gram-positive: Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis; Gram-negative: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis) and yeasts (Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, and Candida parapsilosis) was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values. Significant activity was observed against Gram-positive bacteria, mainly staphylococci (PG7-PG8) and bacteria of the genes of Micrococcus and Bacillus (PG1-3), as well as selected strains of Gram-negative bacteria, including bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family (PG7), while all tested compounds showed high fungistatic activity against Candida spp. yeasts, especially C. parapsilosis, with MICs ranging from 0.49 µg/mL (PG7) to 0.98 µg/mL (PG8) and 62.5 µg/mL (PG1-3). In conclusion, the results obtained confirm the multidirectional antimicrobial activity of the newly synthesized piperazine derivatives. Furthermore, in silico studies suggest that the tested compounds are likely to have good oral bioavailability. The results obtained will provide valuable data for further research into this interesting group of compounds. The library of compounds obtained is still the subject of pharmacological research aimed at finding new interesting biologically active compounds.

Project description:An efficient microwave-assisted one-step synthetic route toward Mannich bases is developed from 4-hydroxyacetophenone and different secondary amines in quantitative yields, via a regioselective substitution reaction. The reaction takes a short time and is non-catalyzed and reproducible on a gram scale. The environmentally benign methodology provides a novel alternative, to the conventional methodologies, for the synthesis of mono- and disubstituted Mannich bases of 4-hydroxyacetophenone. All compounds were well-characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. The structures of 1-{4-hydroxy-3-[(morpholin-4-yl)methyl]phenyl}ethan-1-one (2a) and 1-{4-hydroxy-3-[(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}ethan-1-one (3a) were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Compound 2a and 3a crystallize in monoclinic, P2₁/n, and orthorhombic, Pbca, respectively. The most characteristic features of the molecular structure of 2a is that the morpholine fragment adopts a chair conformation with strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Compound 3a exhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonding, too. Furthermore, the computed Hirshfeld surface analysis confirms H-bonds and π⁻π stack interactions obtained by XRD packing analyses.

Project description:The regiospecific Mannich aminomethylation of 7-hydroxyisoflavonoids using bis(N,N-dimethylamino)methane afforded C-8 substituted N,N-dimethylaminomethyl adducts, and the regioselective aminomethylation of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavonoids afforded predominantly the C-6 substituted N,N-dimethylaminomethyl adducts. Acetylation of these C-6 or C-8 Mannich bases with potassium acetate in acetic anhydride provided access to the corresponding acetoxymethyl derivatives that were subsequently converted to hydroxymethyl- and methoxymethyl-substituted 5-hydroxy- or 7-hydroxyisoflavonoids related to naturally occurring flavonoids. The C-8 acetoxymethyl, hydroxymethyl or methoxymethyl-substituted isoflavonoids possessed promising inhibitory potency in the low micromolar range in a prostate cancer PC-3 cell proliferation assay.

Project description:Three-component Mannich reaction of acetophenone or 4-iodoacetophenone with a variety of substituted anilines and benzaldehyde, catalysed with diethanolammonium chloroacetate, was performed under mild conditions. Mannich bases (MBs), of which five are new, were obtained in good to excellent yields. All compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, NMR and IR. In addition, detailed experimental and simulated UV-Vis spectral characterization of these compounds is presented here for the first time. In vitro antioxidative potential of synthetized MBs was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl radical and density functional theory (DFT) thermodynamical study. It was shown that compounds with anisidine moiety express moderate antioxidative activity. Mechanism of the organocatalysed Mannich reaction was thoroughly inspected by means of DFT. The reaction undergoes the hydrogen bonding-assisted mechanism. Moreover, the proposed rate determining step of the overall reaction is water elimination in the process of iminium ion formation. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first detailed report on the influence of this type of catalyst on the formation of iminium ion, as a crucial intermediate for the whole reaction.

Project description:Developing new strategies to activate and cleave C-H bonds is important for a broad range of applications. Recently a new approach for C-H bond activation using multi-site concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) involving intermolecular electron transfer to an oxidant coupled to intramolecular proton transfer was reported. For a series of oxidants reacting with 2-(9 H-fluoren-9-yl)benzoate, experimental studies revealed an atypical Brønsted ?, defined as the slope of the logarithm of the PCET rate constant versus the logarithm of the equilibrium constant or the scaled driving force. Herein this reaction is modeled with a vibronically nonadiabatic PCET theory. Hydrogen tunneling, thermal sampling of the proton donor-acceptor mode, solute and solvent reorganization, and contributions from excited vibronic states are found to play important roles. The calculations qualitatively reproduce the experimental observation of a Brønsted ? significantly less than 0.5 and explain this shallow slope in terms of exoergic processes between pairs of electron-proton vibronic states. These fundamental mechanistic insights may guide the design of more effective strategies for C-H bond activation and cleavage.

Project description:The tri-component synthesis of novel chiral benzimidazole Mannich bases, by reaction between benzimidazole, aqueous 30% formaldehyde and an amine, the biological evaluation and DFT studies of the new compounds are reported here. The 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR spectra and elemental analysis confirm the structures of the new compounds. All synthesized compounds were screened by qualitative and quantitative methods for their in vitro antibacterial activity against 4 bacterial strains. DFT studies were accomplished using GAMESS 2012 software and HOMO-LUMO analysis allowed the calculation of electronic and structural parameters of the chiral Mannich bases. The geometry of 1-methylpiperazine, the cumulated Mullikan atomic charges of the two heteroatoms and of the methyl, and the value of the global electrophilicity index (ω = 0.0527) of the M-1 molecule is correlated with its good antimicrobial activity. It was found that the presence of saturated heterocycles from the amine molecule, 1-methyl piperazine and morpholine, respectively, contributes to an increased biological activity, compared to aromatic amino analogs, diphenylamino-, 4-nitroamino- and 4-aminobenzoic acid. The planarity of the molecules, specific bond lengths and localization of HOMO-LUMO orbitals is responsible for the best biological activities of the compounds.

Project description:Heterocyclic Mannich bases, N-(3-oxo-3-phenylpro-pyl)thiazol-2-aminium chloride (DTZA) and N-(3-oxo-3-phenylpropyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-aminium chloride (DPZA), were developed for the corrosion inhibition of N80 steel in a 15 wt % lactic acid solution. Weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques, surface characterization, and theoretical calculations were combined to investigate their anticorrosion performance and mechanism. The results showed that DTZA exhibited a satisfactory inhibitor efficiency of 97.56% with a dosage of 0.15% at 363 K, while DPZA achieved only 58.3% under the same conditions. Adsorptions of both inhibitors on the metal surface followed the Langmuir model with physical and chemical adsorptions. Based on X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, DFT calculations, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, stronger interactions between DTZA and iron than those in the case of DPZA were revealed, leading to the formation of a compact protective film on the metal surface, which is attributed to the presence of a thiazole ring in the DTZA chemical structure.
