Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) poses a significant threat to life. Antiretroviral therapy is employed to diminish the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), extending life expectancy and improving the quality of patients’ lives. These HIV-1 integrase inhibitors form robust covalent interactions with Mg²⁺ ions, contributin...
Synthesis and biological evaluation of TZD-based hybrids.
Rhodanine or 2-Thioxothiazolidin-4-one is a privileged heterocyclic compound offering a wide opportunity for structural modification, lead development, and modification. It is one of the highly decorated scaffolds in the drug discovery process. Rhodanine derivatives possess a plethora of biological activities due to their ability to interact with a...
2,4-Thiazolidinedione (2,4-TZD), commonly known as glitazone, is a ubiquitous heterocyclic pharmacophore possessing a plethora of pharmacological activities and offering a vast opportunity for structural modification. The diverse range of biological activities endowed with a novel mode of action, low cost, and easy synthesis has attracted the atten...
Depression is one of the major disorders of the central nervous system worldwide and causes disability and functional impairment. According to the World Health Organization, around 265 million people worldwide are affected by depression. Currently marketed antidepressant drugs take weeks or even months to show anticipated clinical efficacy but rema...
Aurora kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that play a crucial role in cell proliferation through the regulation of mitotic spindles. These kinases are the regulatory proteins localized in the various phases of the cell cycle and are involved in centrosome maturation, chromosome alignment, chromosomal segregation, and cytokinesis. They...
Adenosine is an endogenous purine-based nucleoside expressed nearly in all body tissues. It regulates various body functions by activating four G-protein coupled receptors, A1, A2A, A2B, and A3. These receptors are widely acknowledged as drug targets for treating different neurological, metabolic, and inflammatory diseases. Although numerous adenos...
In the last few decades, traditional natural products have been the center of attention for the scientific community and exploration of their therapeutic abilities is proceeding perpetually. Berberine, with remarkable therapeutic diversity, is a plant derived isoquinoline alkaloid which is widely used as a traditional medicine in China. Berberine h...
The ubiquitous presence of 4‐quinolones and its derivatives in a wide range of natural as well as synthetic drug molecules made them molecule of utmost importance for organic and medicinal chemists. Their wide array of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti‐HIV, genitourinary infection, antifilarial, etc., has augmented their...
Benzothiazepine, a prominent “drug prejudice core”, is a heterocyclic moiety of immense importance due to its presence in a wide range of bioactive compounds. They act as a primary “biolinker” in diverse synthetic routes to obtain bioactive molecules and serve as important templates in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. They are known to possess a...
Pyrazolines remain privileged heterocycles in drug discovery. 2-Pyrazoline scaffold has been proven as a ubiquitous motif which is present in a number of pharmacologically important drug molecules such as antipyrine, ramifenazone, ibipinabant, axitinib etc. They have been widely explored by the scientific community and are reported to possess wide...
Most of the anti-inflammatory drugs in clinical practice are becoming outdated owing to their potential side and adverse effects. These are found to be highly unsafe for long term use. Thus, since last few years, new anti-inflammatory agents are being developed and number of them are in advanced stages of clinical trials. Heterocyclic molecules hav...
Heterocyclic compounds play significant role in various biological processes of human body and many of them are in clinical use due to their diverse, chemical and biological properties. Among these, indole is one of most promising pharmacologically active molecules. Due to its chemical reactivity, indole has been willingly modified to obtain a vari...
Benzodiazepines (BZDs) represent a diverse class of bicyclic heterocyclic molecules. In the last few years, benzodiazepines have emerged as potential therapeutic agents. As a result, several mild, efficient and high yielding protocols have been developed that offer access to various functionalized benzodiazepines (BZDs). They are known to possess a...
Aims:
The current study is focused on the design and synthesis of 4-aryl/heteroaryl-4H-fused pyrans as anti-proliferative agents. All the synthesized molecules were screened against a panel of human carcinoma cell lines.
Description:
Significant inhibition was exhibited by the compounds against HCT-116 (Colon) and PC-3 (Prostate) cell lines whil...
Background:
Esterase is an enzyme that splits esters into an acid and alcohol. Varieties of esterases are present in human body to control diverse set of cellular processes and execute their specific functions. It can be seen that any increase in metabolites produced by these enzymes lead to severe pathological conditions like Alzheimer disease, h...
A series of thiazole incorporated oxadiazole derivatives (6a-6f) was synthesized by reacting 2-chloro-N-(4-(4-substituted phenyl) thiazol-2-yl) acetamide with 5-pyridine-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione using multistep solution phase chemistry. The synthesized compounds were structurally characterized on the basis of elemental analysis and using various s...
Indisputably the third millennium is witnessing the worldwide changes in healthcare. Ayurvedic system of healthcare has gained good popularity. Ayurveda is a profound and comprehensive system of health care that originated in India. This system endeavors to rationalize the all phenomena governing empirical experiences with natural products in medic...
