Triazole-Diindolylmethane Conjugates as New Antitubercular Agents: Synthesis, Bioevaluation and Molecular Docking

10.1039/C8MD00055G

2018-04-11

We have described the synthesis of novel triazole incorporated diindolylmethanes (DIMs) using molecular hybridization approach and their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (ATCC 25177) both in active and dormant state. A...

Design, synthesis and antimicrobial activity of usnic acid derivatives

10.1039/C8MD00076J

2018-04-11

Usnic acid, a dibenzofuran, was originally isolated from lichens belonging to secondary metabolites, and is well known as an antibiotic, but also endowed with several other interesting properties. Thus the goal of this paper is the design of new usnic acid de...

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 1,3-diarylpyrazoles as cyclooxygenase inhibitors, antiplatelet and anticancer agents

10.1039/C8MD00022K

2018-04-06

With the aim of achieving new compounds possessing both anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet activities, we synthesized (E)-3-[3-(pyridin-3/4-yl)-1-(phenyl/sulfonylmethylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acrylamides, and evaluated their COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory and ant...

Development of piperazine-1-carbothioamide chitosan silver nanoparticles (P1C-Tit*CAgNPs) as a promising anti-inflammatory candidate: a molecular docking validation

10.1039/C7MD00628D

2018-04-04

Natural products are important leads in drug discovery. The search for effective plant-derived agents or their synthetic analogues has continued to be of interest to biologists and chemists for a long time. Herein, we have synthesized a novel compound, P1C, a...

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New 3-amino-2-azetidinone Derivatives as anti-colorectal cancer agents

10.1039/C8MD00147B

2018-04-04

Several synthetic Combretastatin A4 (CA-4) derivatives were recently prepared to increase drug efficacy and stability of the natural product isolated from South African tree Combretum caffrum. A group of ten 3-amino-2-azetidinone derivatives, as Combretastati...

New tetrahydroisoquinoline based P-glycoprotein modulators: decoration of the biphenyl core gives selective ligands.
