Abstract

The preparation of Chalcones and Pyrazoline derivatives from different aromatic ketones and substituted aldehydes is detailed. Chalcones were produced by reacting aldehydes with substituted aromatic ketones, such as acetophenones, in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. Cyclohexenone derivatives are produced when ethyl aceto aromatic ketones undergo base-catalyzed cyclo-condensation to Chalcones under microwave radiation. The synthesized compounds are characterized using spectrum techniques from 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR. These are examined for their antioxidant qualities as well as their antibacterial action against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flavus.

ABSTRACT
The preparation of Chalcones and Pyrazoline derivatives from different aromatic ketones and substituted aldehydes
is detailed. Chalcones were produced by reacting aldehydes with substituted aromatic ketones, such as
acetophenones, in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. Cyclohexenone derivatives are produced when ethyl
aceto aromatic ketones undergo base-catalyzed cyclo-condensation to Chalcones under microwave radiation. The
synthesized compounds are characterized using spectrum techniques from 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR. These are
examined for their antioxidant qualities as well as their antibacterial action against Staphylococcus aureus,
Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flavus.
Keywords: Chalcones, Pyrazoline, Antibacterial Activity, Antifungal Activity, Spectral Elucidation.

INTRODUCTION
Because of their numerous potential uses in scientific fields like synthetic and medicinal chemistry,
natural Chalcones and their synthetic derivatives have garnered a lot of interest.1,2 These are useful
intermediates in organic synthesis from a chemical perspective, and when basic catalysis is present, they
can function as activated unsaturated systems in the conjugated addition reaction of carbanions.3,4
Utilizing this kind of reaction could lead to the production of derivatives of cyclohexenone that are highly
functionalized5,6 Chalcones have a remarkable range of biological activities linked to them, such as blood
platelet anti-aggregating activity and antitubercular, antiparkinson, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory,
anticancer, antiasthmatic, antibacterial, and antihypertensive properties. Chalcones and their derivatives
are important biologically, but they also have a wide range of uses in cosmetic compositions and dyes.7-18
Another class of cyclic compounds with intriguing biological activities are cyclohexenone derivatives of
chalcones; among these, its antimicrobial activity is well-documented18,19 Cyclohexenone are therefore
highly desirable target molecules in synthetic organic chemistry. Chalcones are used more frequently in
the synthesis of cyclohexenone, which is an effective precursor for the synthesis of isoxazolones,
benzisoxazoles, carbazole derivatives, and indazoline pyrazoline. Derivatives of cyclohexenone are well-
known lead compounds for the management of autoimmune disorders and inflammation.20-24
Under microwave radiation, chemical reactions can be sped up and the resulting products' selectivity can
be achieved.25 Compared to traditional heating, this method has a number of benefits, including fast and
instantaneous heating, high temperature homogeneity, and selective heating.26 Because microwave-
assisted synthesis delivers on its promise of being a quick synthesis technique, synthetic organic
chemistry has made extensive use of the microwave heating technique. Given the significance of
Chalcones' cyclohexenone derivatives both chemically and biologically, a report has been made on the
high yield synthesis of these derivatives using the microwave technique.

In vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus Niger, and
Aspergillus flavus is assessed after the synthesized compounds undergo structural elucidation. Because of
the encouraging outcomes, we decided to further test them for antioxidant activity.27
EXPERIMENTAL
Chemicals
All chemical reagents were procured from Sigma Aldrich and the reputable Merck pharmaceutical
company located in Mumbai, India. Glacial acetic acid and solvents were provided by S.D. Fine
(Mumbai, India) and were of LR mark. Spectrochem, India, supplied the ethanol solvent. The following
were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich and CDH (New Delhi, India): Cyanuric chloride, 4-amino acetanilide,
1,3-benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde(piperonal), 4-fluorobenzaldehyde, 4-chlorbenzaldehyde, thiophene-2-
carbaldehyde, malononitril, and hydrazine hydrate. The entire set of reagents and solvents used in this
investigation's heterocyclic derivative synthesis were purified using conventional methods. As developing
solvents, benzene, ethyl acetate, and chloroform were employed.28
Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)
A vision apparatus was used to record the melting points. Using silica gel G (Merck) as the immobile
phase and an iodine chamber and UV lamp to visualize the TLC points, reaction improvement was
monitored on TLC. The exposure to iodine gas, heating the plates dipped in diluted KMnO4 stain, and
ultraviolet lighting all contributed to the visualization of points on TLC plates. Highly pure silica gel for
the Column Chromatography (CC) technique was acquired from Sigma Aldrich & Co. Absolute ethanol
was used to recrystallize every compound that was synthesized.
IR Spectra
Using a KBr pellet and a JASCO spectrophotometer, the solid-state IR spectra were recorded using
Perkin-Elmer Spectrum IR version 10.6.0. FT-IR data were also obtained with a Jasco-400 spectrometer
for the synthetic organic mixes.
NMR Spectra
Every NMR spectrum recorded from the instruments was recorded using a Bruker AMX 400 MHz
instrument and five-millimetre PABBO/BB-1H pipes. Proton (1H) NMR spectra were recorded at
frequencies between 300 and 400 MHz using 0.03 M solutions in CDCl3 or d6-DMSO, with
Tetramethylsilane serving as the internal reference chemical shift. Using Tetra-methylsilane as the inner
reference chemical shift, 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 75 MHz or 100 MHz using approximately
0.05 M solutions in CDCl3 or d6-DMSO.
Mass Spectra
The electron spray ionization-MS electrode WATERS-Q-TOF premier-HAB213 was used to perform the
mass spectrum.
Elemental Analysis
A thermo fanning Flash EA1112 CHN (STIUJA) elemental analyser was used to obtain the elemental
analysis. The yield that is reported is the isolated yield following compound purification.

alcohol, the resulting products were deemed to be (a-f). TLC was used to track the reaction's progress
while n-hexane (1:3) and ethyl acetate served as the solvents. After ethanol was used to recrystallize the
resultant product, it was dried. Six final compounds and all six intermediate compounds were synthesized.
Melting point values, IR spectral data, H1 NMR data, C13 NMR data, mass spectra data, and elemental
analysis were used to describe the structures of the synthesized compounds.

Antioxidant Activity
Hi Media Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. provided ascorbic acid and DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), and all
other reagents, chemicals, and solvents used in the study were of analytical grade.
In-vitro Anti-Oxidant Activity
DPPH-Scavenging Activity
To evaluate the 1, 3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one derivatives' ability to scavenge free radicals, the most
stable radical, 2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), was used. 1 ml of 1, 3 diphenyl 2-propene-1-one
derivatives (0.1 ml & 0.2 ml) prepared in DMSO was added to 1 ml of DPPH (1x10-4 ml) solution made
in DMSO, and the resultant compound was allowed to complete suspension with vigorous agitation. The
DPPH solution served as the reference sample. The aluminium test tubes were used to seal the sample test
tubes before adding the DPPH radical. The amount of organic matter was measured using a UV-visible
spectrometer at a wavelength of 517 nm using DMSO as the blank solution. The following formula was
used to evaluate the 1, 3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one derivatives' 2, 2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH)
scavenging abilities.
DPPH-scavenging effect = [(A Control – A Sample)/A Sample] x 100

concentrations. Verified compounds' antimicrobial activity can be linked to structural variations and
divergences of the corresponding compounds. Tables-1 and 2 provide statistics on antibacterial activity.
Among these compounds, 1-b (-4-CH3), 1-d (-4-F), and 1-f (pipernol) demonstrated exceptional activity
against B. subtilis. Compounds 1-d (-4-F) showed the greatest activity against S. typhi. Good activity
against E. coli was demonstrated by compounds 1-b (-4-CH3), and 1-e (thiophene). C. albicans is
demonstrated to be moderately active against 1-d (-4-F). Compounds 1-b, 1-d, 1-e, and 1-f) had moderate
activity, while compounds 1-a, and 1-c demonstrated virtuous larvicidal activity. The findings of these
investigations are presented in Table-4; remarkably, the majority of them demonstrated strong larvicidal
activity. Compounds (1c-1f)) showed moderate activity. The screening results for the antimicrobial,
larvicidal, and antioxidant properties suggest that all of the recently manufactured mixtures be moderately
exposed to worthy activity against the indicated organisms (Figure 4).

CONCLUSION
In the current work, various Chalcones types with therapeutic requests are made, and their extensive
biological demands are further exploited through further modification. We have synthesized and
evaluated the antioxidant, larvicidal, and antimicrobial properties of a few novel Chalcones with the core
s-triazine moiety. Chalcones compounds, which are primarily pharmacologically active substances, are
identified chemically as 1- 3, diphenylprop 2-en-1-one byproducts. For this research project, we prepared
eighteen bioactive s-triazine derivatives. Each synthetic derivative was successfully made in two or three
steps. We discovered in this study that derivatives of Pyrazoline and cyanopyridine were useful
substances. The newly prepared compounds' 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS (ESI), IR spectral data, and melting
point analysis all contributed to the explanation of their structure. Finally, we have successfully
synthesized a new series of derivatives containing Pyrazoline and cyanopyridine, and some of these
compounds also contain a bioactive heterocyclic moiety. Surprisingly, the majority of them demonstrated
superior antibacterial and antifungal properties. Compounds 1c and 1f showed moderate and little
inhibition against all of the strains tested, while compounds 1a, 1b, 1d, and 1e showed better and
moderate activity. Low-activity compounds were confirmed to have higher concentrations. The fluoro
substituent compound (1-d) exhibits good activity against the fungi under experimentation. The
synthesized compounds showed reasonable activity at higher concentrations Compounds (1-a to 1-f)
demonstrated good and moderate inhibition towards the compounds, according to their larvicidal activity.
The most active compounds, however, were compounds [1-a & 1-b]. There was good and moderate
inhibition towards the compounds (1-a to 1-f). It is recommended by the screening results for antioxidant,
larvicidal, and antimicrobial activities that all newly synthesized compounds exhibit reasonable to good
activity against the verified organisms.

In pursuit of a biodynamically potent molecule, we have attempted to synthesize derivatives of piperazine by incorporating them into the Rosuvastatin intermediate. The reason behind this is that heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen atoms in their ring structure, such as pyrimidine, have great potential as drug design scaffolds. By doping piperazine into the Rosuvastatin intermediate, a series of new derivatives made up of aryl-amides, acetamides, and sulfonamides were produced. These derivatives were then assessed for their antimicrobial activity, with a few showing promising results.

A new heterogeneous nanocatalyst LDH@3-chloropyltrimethoxysilane@1,3-benzenedisulfonyl amine@Cu (LDH@TRMS@BDSA@Cu) was synthesized and confirmed by analyzes such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, energy scattered X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping, X-ray diffraction analysis, heat gravity/heat derivatization (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry. The newly synthesized nanocatalyst effectively catalyzed the reaction between different aryl aldehydes, malononitrile, different acetophenones and ammonium acetate in solvent-free conditions and they were converted into 2-amino-3-cyanopyridine derivatives with high efficiency. The reaction showed advantages such as simplicity, high stability, environmental friendliness, excellent efficiency and short time. Also, this catalyst is recyclable and was recycled 4 times without losing significant catalytic power.

Many studies have been carried out to find synthetic pathways to nicotinonitriles (3-cyanopyridines) and their analogs, which has resulted in a substantial amount of knowledge on their biological, therapeutic, and medical characteristics. Some of nicotinonitrile derivatives have emerged as marketed drugs such as bosutinib, milrinone, neratinib, and olprinone. In this review, we discuss the recently synthesized nicotinonitrile-based hybrids that possess important biological activity and will be useful for drug discovery and development.

A new and suitable multicomponent one-pot reaction was developed for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyanopyridine derivatives. Background: This synthesis was demonstrated by the efficient and easy access to a variety of substituted 2-aminopyridines using enaminones as key precursors under solvent-free conditions. Methods: A range of spectroscopic techniques was used to determine and confirm the chemical structures (FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR). The antimicrobial potency of synthesized compounds (2a–d) was tested using disk diffusion assays, and the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for the active compounds was determined against a panel of microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Moreover, a docking analysis was conducted by Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software to provide supplementary information about the potential, as well as an ADME-T prediction to describe the pharmacokinetic properties of the best compound and its toxicity. Results: The results of the antimicrobial activity indicated that compound 2c showed the highest activity against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly S. aureus and B. subtilis whose MIC values were 0.039 ± 0.000 µg·mL⁻¹. The results of the theoretical study of compound 2c were in line with the experimental data and exhibited excellent antibacterial potential. Conclusions: On the basis of the obtained results, compound 2c can be used as an antibacterial agent model with high antibacterial potency.

Emergence of antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) restricts the availability of drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis, which leads to the increased morbidity and mortality of the disease worldwide. There are many intrinsic and extrinsic factors that have been reported for the resistance mechanism. To overcome such mechanisms, chemically synthesized benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives were screened against M. tuberculosis to find potential inhibitor for tuberculosis. Such filtering process resulted in compound 13, compound 21, and compound 20 as the best binding energy compounds against DNA gyrase B, an important protein in the replication process. The ADMET prediction has shown the oral bioavailability of the novel compounds.

Cancer is a condition caused by many mechanisms (genetic, immune, oxidation, and inflammatory). Anticancer therapy aims to destroy or stop the growth of cancer cells. Resistance to treatment is theleading cause of the inefficiency of current standard therapies. Targeted therapies are the most effective due to the low number of side effects and low resistance. Among the small molecule natural compounds, flavonoids are of particular interest for theidentification of new anticancer agents. Chalcones are precursors to all flavonoids and have many biological activities. The anticancer activity of chalcones is due to the ability of these compounds to act on many targets. Natural chalcones, such as licochalcones, xanthohumol (XN), panduretin (PA), and loncocarpine, have been extensively studied and modulated. Modification of the basic structure of chalcones in order to obtain compounds with superior cytotoxic properties has been performed by modulating the aromatic residues, replacing aromatic residues with heterocycles, and obtaining hybrid molecules. A huge number of chalcone derivatives with residues such as diaryl ether, sulfonamide, and amine have been obtained, their presence being favorable for anticancer activity. Modification of the amino group in the structure of aminochalconesis always favorable for antitumor activity. This is why hybrid molecules of chalcones with different nitrogen hetercycles in the molecule have been obtained. From these, azoles (imidazole, oxazoles, tetrazoles, thiazoles, 1,2,3-triazoles, and 1,2,4-triazoles) are of particular importance for the identification of new anticancer agents.

Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a key biosynthetic precursor of NAD+, is receiving increasing attention because of its role. In this study, a whole-cell catalysis method to efficiently synthesize NR was established. First, the performance of 5'-nucleotidase (UshA) from Escherichia coli was confirmed to have high catalytic activity to synthesize NR. Then, the endogenous NR degradation pathway was detected, and the genes (rihA, rihB, and rihC) involved in NR degradation were knocked out, which enabled NR biosynthesis. In addition, the important role of the signal peptide of UshA in NR transport had been confirmed. Subsequently, nitrile hydratase was introduced to achieve the conversion of 3-cyanopyridine to NR. Finally, the NR titer reached 25.6 and 29.8 g/L with nicotinamide and 3-cyanopyridine, respectively, as substrates in a 5-L bioreactor, the efficient biosynthesis of NR in E. coli by using nicotinamide and 3-cyanopyridine.

Pyridine (py) is one of the important heterocyclic compounds and an internal part of several natural products. There are various medicines containing pyridine ring system being available in the market to combat different human ailments. Many drugs have been approved by FDA for the treatment of cancer in recent years like Omeprazole (1998), Netupitant (2014), Abemaciclib (2015), Apalutamide (2018), Lorlatinib (2018), and Ivosidenib (2019), and natural products including nicotine, niconine, and nucleic acid. Various methods have been reported for the synthesis of pyridine derivative and also several reactions offer the great scope in the division of organic and medicinal chemistry. From this review, we have summarized in medicinal and nonmedicinal advantages of numerous pyridine scaffolds. Pyridine analogues have been reported for diverse biological activity profiles and numbers of compounds are used in clinical trials. Pyridine scaffolds have also increasing importance for modern medicinal implementation and are expected to deliver several applications in day-to-day life.

Synthesis, antibacterial evaluation, and in silico study of new series of cyanopyridines, and fused cyanopyridines are described. One-pot reaction of N-(2-ethylphenyl)-2-cyanoacetamide (1) with arylmethylketones and various aldehydes afforded 4, 6-diaryl-2-oxopyridine-3-carbonitriles, 4–9. Cyclocondensation of 1 using various aldehydes and diethyl malonate/malononitrile afforded 3-esters, 10–12 and pyridine-3, 5-dicarbonitrile derivatives, 13–15. Then, compounds 13, 14 were employed for the synthesis of various fused compounds, namely pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridines, 16–18 and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, 21–26. These target compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activity (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC]) against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using amoxicillin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) as reference standards. Compounds 4, 8, and 10–12 exhibited remarkable antibacterial profile compared to the standard drugs. Besides, in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) prediction studies indicated that most of the potent compounds are orally bioavailable with no permeation to the blood–brain barrier (BBB).
