1-1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 1-4-dihydropyridine

The present work describes the design of 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) with diverse variations in structural and functional groups. The physico-chemical properties and drug-like molecule nature evaluations were carried out using SWISSADME. A simple, economical, eco-friendly, water-mediated and Para-Toluene sulfonic acid catalysed multicomponent and one-pot synthetic method from nitroketene N, S- acetals (NMSM) and corresponding aldehydes has been developed. All compounds (6a-u and 13a-h) were subjected to in vitro assays against two important human cancer cell lines Viz. are Laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2) and Lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells. The reduction level of DPPH (%) used to evaluate the anti-oxidant properties. The 1,4-DHP derivatives, 6o, 6u and 6l displayed the potent anti-cancer activity with IC

New 5-aryl-10-(4-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazole-2-yl)-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:5,6-d']dipyrimidinone-2,4,6,8-(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraones 6a-d were synthesized through one-pot four-component reaction of aldehydes, barbituric acid, and thiazole using Zn(2+) @KSF under reflux condition. The key features of this reaction are: incorporating four heterocyclic rings, using a heterogeneous and efficient catalyst, high yield, and easy-to-setup reaction. The structure of the products was confirmed by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, and (13)C NMR spectra. The antibacterial activities of compounds 6a-d were screened against Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strains using the zone inhibition method. Also, the 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities of compounds 6a-d were evaluated. All compounds showed good antioxidant capacity in comparison to ascorbic acid. The IC50 values of the antioxidant activity were calculated. The proposed mechanism for antioxidant activity is discussed.

In the present study two new series of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (1,4-DHPs) containing substituted pyrazole moiety (4a-f and 5a-f) were synthesized by the reaction of 3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes with 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds (ethylacetoacetate and methylacetoacetate) and ammonium acetate. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectral study and also by C, H, N analyses. New compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity by well plate method (zone of inhibition). Antioxidant studies of the synthesized compounds were also performed by measuring the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Compounds 4c, 4e and 4f were found to be potent antibacterial and antioxidant agents. The acute oral toxicity study for the compounds 4c, 4e and 4f were carried out and the experimental studies revealed that compounds 4c and 4e is safe up to 3000 mg/kg and no death of animals were recorded. However in compound 4f, we found mortality above 2000 mg and also significant behavioral changes in experimental animals.

The antioxidant properties of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine esters and two dibenzo-1,4-dihydropyridines, 9,10-dihydroacridine (DHAC) and N-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (N-Me-DHAC), have been explored by determining whether they retard the autoxidation of styrene or cumene at 30 degrees C. Despite a claim to the contrary [(2003) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 16, 208-215], the Hantsch esters were found to be virtually inactive as chain-breaking antioxidants (CBAs), their reactivity toward peroxyl radicals being some 5 orders of magnitude lower than that of the excellent CBA, 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-hydroxy-chroman (PMHC). DHAC was found to be about a factor of 10 less reactive than PMHC. From kinetic measurements using DHAC, N-deuterio-DHAC, and N-Me-DHAC, it is concluded that it is the N--H hydrogen in DHAC that is abstracted by peroxyl radicals, despite the fact that in DHAC the calculated C-H bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) is about 11 kcal/mol lower than the N-H BDE. The rates of hydrogen atom abstraction by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (dpph*) have also been determined for the same series of compounds. The trends in the peroxyl and dpph* rate constants are similar.
