Several 5-thio-substituted tetrazole derivatives were efficiently synthesized by a three-step process. The substituted tetrazol-5-thiol, nAMely, 1-benzyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (2) was prepared by refluxing commercially available benzyl isothiocyanate (1) with sodium azide in water. The second step was the synthesis of 1-benzyl-5-[(3-bromopropyl)thio]-1H-tetrazole (3) by thioalkylation of tetrazole-5-thiol 2 with 1,3-dibromopropane in tetrahydrofuran. Finally, the 5-thio-substituted tetrazole derivatives 4ai were prepared by condensation of 3 with the corresponding AMine or thiol. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR, LC/MS/MS, IR spectral data and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

 

Keywords: substituted thiol; tetrazole; 1,3-dibromopropane; antibacterial; antifungal.

A series of new heterocyclic mono azo reactive dyes 7am were prepared by diazotization of 2-phenyl-3-{4’-[N-(4”-AMinophenyl)carbAMoyl]-phenyl}-quinazoline-4(3H)-one-6-sulphonic acid (3) and coupling with various cyanurated coupling components 6am and their dyeing performance on silk, wool and cotton fibres was assessed. These dyes were found to give a variety of colour shades with very good depth and levelness on the fibres. All the compounds were identified by conventional method (IR and 1H-NMR) and elemental analyses. The percentage dye bath exhaustion on different fibres was reasonably good and acceptable. The dyed fibre showed moderate to very good fastness to light, washing and rubbing.

 

Keyword: quinazoline-4(3H)-one; mono azo reactive dyes; dyeing; fastness properties.

It is known that certain bile acids have a promotive effect on the action of some drugs. Special attention is paid to bile acids having oxo groups instead of OH groups in the steroid skeleton of their molecule, since these derivatives have a lower hemolytic potential (membrane toxicity). This study exAMined the effects of sodium salts of 3α,12α-dihydroxy-7-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid (7-oC) and 3,7,12-trioxo-5β-cholanoic acid (3,7,12-toC) on the adsorption of verapAMil hydrochloride on activated carbon (model of the cell membrane). The interaction was followed by measuring the effect of verapAMil on the functional dependence between the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 (protons of the C18 angular group of the bile acid molecule) and the bile acid concentration in deuterated chloroform (model of the cell membrane lipid phase). Whether a depot effect of verapAMil exists when 7-oC and 3,7,12-toC (in the form of methyl esters) are present in chloroform was also investigated. It was found that 7-oC exhibited a significant effect in the experiments with verapAMil, whereas 3,7,12-toC showed no difference of the measured parAMeters with respect to the control. This indicates that bile acid molecules should have OH groups bound to the steroid nucleus, in order to exhibit an effect on the monitored physico–chemical parAMeters of verapAMil.

 

Key words: Bile acid oxo derivatives; verapAMil; spin-lattice relaxation time.

In order to find new and potent drug candidates for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections‚ in this study attention was focused on the synthesis and anti-H. pylori activity of a series of 5-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles containing piperazinyl functionality at the C-2 position of the 1,3,4--thiadiazole ring. The synthesis of 1-[5-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2--yl]piperazine derivatives 3ah and pyrrolidine derivative 3i was achieved with a versatile and efficient synthetic route via 2-chloro-5-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-1,3,4--thiadiazole. The inhibitory activity of the new derivatives 3ai against twenty clinical H. pylori strains was evaluated by the disc diffusion method and compared with the commercially available standard drug metronidazole. Resulting biological data indicated that most compounds exhibited strong inhibitory activity even at doses lower than 2 μg/disc (average zone of inhibition >20 mm) while metronidazole had little or no growth inhibition at this dose. Compound 3c containing the N-benzoylpiperazin-1-yl moiety showed the most potent inhibitory activity.

GC–MS metabolic profiling of the apolar and polar fractions from methanolic extracts of Haberlea rhodopensis revealed more than one hundred compounds (AMino acids, fatty acids, phenolic acids, sterols, glycerides, saccharides, etc.). Bioactivity assays showed that the polar fractions possessed strong free radical scavenging activity (IC50 = 19.95±14.11 μg ml-1 for fresh leaves and 50.04±23.16 μg ml-1 for desiccated leaves), while both the polar and apolar fractions failed to provoke any significant cytotoxic effects against the tested cell lines. Five compounds possessing antiradical activity were identified – syringic, vanillic, caffeic, dihydrocaffeic and p-coumaric acids.

(Received 8 February, revised 23 August 2010)                        

Several novel complexes of oxomolybdenum(V) and dioxomolybdenum(VI) were synthesized with the Schiff base, N’-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)isonicotinohydrazide (HL) derived from 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde and isonicotinohydrazide. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility, as well as IR, 1H-NMR, FAB mass and UV–Vis spectral studies. The complexes have the general formulae [MoO(L)XCl] and [MoO2(L)X], where X=NO3 or ClO4. The IR spectra of these complexes indicate that the ligand HL acts as a monoanionic tridentate chelating agent. The spectra indicate the monodentate mode of coordination for the nitrate and perchlorate groups. The X-ray diffraction studies of [MoO(L)NO3Cl] correspond to an orthorhombic crystal lattice with unit cell dimensions a = 15.49 Ĺ, b = 12.44 Ĺ and c = 10.11 Ĺ. All the complexes were found to have distorted octahedral geometry. Thermal studies of the complex [MoO2(L)NO3] showed that it was stable up to 240 °C, above which it started to decompose. The optimized geometry of ligand and one of its complexes, [MoO(L)NO3Cl], have been obtained by a molecular mechanics method. Antibacterial studies of the present complexes show that the oxomolybdenum(V) complexes were more potent bactericides than the ligand and the dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes.

А novel manganese(II) coordination polymer, catena-(2-methylimidazolium bis(μ2-chloro)aquachloromanganese(II)), {(C4H7N2)[MnCl3(H2O)]}n, was synthesized, structurally characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis and EPR spectroscopy of the compound were also performed. The colourless crystals of the complex were monoclinic, space group P21/c, with the cell parAMeters a = 11.298(2) Ĺ, b = 7.2485(14) Ĺ, c = 14.709(5) Ĺ, β = 128.861(18)°, V = 938.0(5) Ĺ3, Z = 4 and R1 = 0.03. The title compound consisted of one-dimensional infinite anionic chains [MnCl3(H2O)]n and isolated 2-methylimidazolium cations. The Mn(II) atom was octahedrally coordinated to four bridging chloride anions (Mn–Cl = 2.5109(6) – 2.5688(7) Ĺ), one terminal chloride anion (Mn–Cl = 2.5068(11) Ĺ) and a H2O molecule (Mn–O = 2.2351(17) Ĺ). A three-dimensional layer structure was constructed via hydrogen bonds and by weak π–π stacking interactions. A four-step thermal decomposition occurred in the temperature range 25–900 °C under nitrogen.

Ethyl 2-[2-(1-acetyl-2-oxopropyl)azo]-4,5-dimethyl-3-thiophenecarboxyate was synthesized by coupling diazotized ethyl 2-AMino-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylate with acetylacetone. Based on various spectral studies and elemental analysis, an intrAMolecularly hydrogen-bonded azo-enol structural form was assigned for the ligand. This ligand is versatile in forming a series of lanthanide(III) complexes, viz., lanthanum(III), cerium(III), praseodymium(III), neodymium(III), sAMarium(III) and gadolinium(III), which were characterized through various spectral studies, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductance and thermal analysis. The spectral data revealed that the ligand acted as a neutral tridentate, coordinating to the metal ion through one of the azo nitrogen atoms, the ester carbonyl and the enolic oxygen of the acetylacetone moiety, without deprotonation. Molar conductance values adequately supported their non-electrolytic nature. The ligand and lanthanum(III) complex were subjected to X-ray diffraction studies. In addition, the lanthanum(III) complex underwent a facile transesterification reaction on refluxing with methanol for a long period. The thermal behaviour of the lanthanum(III) complex was also exAMined.

Antipsychotic drugs are psychiatric medication primarily used to manage psychosis (e.g., delusions or hallucinations), particularly in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. First and second generations of antipshychotics tend to block receptors in the brain's dopAMine pathways, but antipsychotic drugs encompass a wide range of receptor targets. The inhibition constant, Ki, at the level of membrane receptors is a major determinant of their pharmacokinetic behavior and, consequently, it can affect their antipsychotic activity. Here, predicted inhibition constants, Ki for 71 antipsychotics, already approved for clinical treatment, as well as representative new chemical structures which exhibit antipsychotic activity, were evaluated using 3D-QSAR–CoMSIA models. Significant values of the cross-validated correlation q2 (higher than 0.70) and the fitted correlation r2 (higher than 0.80) revealed that these models have reasonable power to predict the biological affinity of the 15 new risperidone and 12 new olanzapine derivatives in interactions with dopAMine D2 and serotonin 5HT2A receptors; these compounds are suggested for further studies.

Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, P.O. Box 33, 11030 Belgrade, Serbia

 

(Received 1 July, revised 23 August 2010)

In this work, the adsorption/desorption processes of iodides and cadmium cations in the presence of iodides onto/from Ag(111) were investigated. It was shown that both processes were complex, characterized by several peaks on the cyclic voltAMmogrAMs (CVs). By PeakFit analysis of the recorded CVs and subsequent fitting of the obtained peaks by the Frumkin adsorption isotherm, the interaction parAMeter (f) and the Gibbs energy of adsorption (DGads) for each adsorbed phase were determined. In the case of iodide adsorption, four peaks were characterized by negative values of f, indicating attractive lateral interaction between the adsorbed anions, while two of them possessed value of f < –4, indicating phase transition processes. The adsorption/desorption processes of cadmium cations (underpotential deposition – UPD of cadmium) in the presence of iodide anions was characterized by two main peaks, each of them being composed of two or three peaks with negative values of f. By the analysis of charge vs. potential dependences obtained either from the CVs or current transients on potentiostatic pulses, it was concluded that adsorbed iodides did not undergo desorption during the process of Cd UPD, but becAMe replaced by Cd ad-atoms and remained adsorbed on top of a Cd layer and/or in between Cd the ad-atoms.

(Received 27 January, revised 21 September 2010)

The vapour pressures of binary mixtures of cyclohexanone + dichloroalkane (1,3-dichloropropane and 1,4-dichlorobutane) were measured at temperatures between 298.15 and 318.15 K. The vapour pressures vs. liquid phase composition data were used to calculate the activity coefficients of the two components and the excess molar Gibbs energies GE for the mixtures, using the Barker method and the Redlich–Kister, Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations, taking into account the vapour phase imperfection in terms of the 2nd virial coefficient. No significant difference between the GE values obtained with these equations was observed.
