چکیده
The in vitro antifungal activities of few novel 4-aminoantipyrine derived Schiff bases and their metal complexes were tested against fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani, Culvularia lunata, Rhizoctonia bataicola and Candida albicans. All the metal complexes showed stronger antifungal activities than the free ligands. The synthesized compounds were subjected to molecular docking studies for the inhibition of the enzyme glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase which is a new target for antifungals N.RAMAN Research Department of Chemistry, VHNSN College, Virudhunagar-626 001, India

Bioactive Salen-type Schiff Base Transition Metal Complexes as Possible Anticancer Agents
Although metal-based anticancer drugs have been recognized as the most effective agents over the organic compounds, non-selectivity and high toxic effects have limited their applications in a way that only three Pt-analogues have progressed into clinical use. These problems have spurred chemists to develop different strategies based on alternative targets. This work focuses on predicting potenc...

متن کاملSynthesis of some biologically active 2,4’-bipyridine-5-carbonitriles carrying the 4-Aminohenylthio moiety
A series of new 6-amino-4aryl-2’-[(4-Aminophenyl)thio]-2,4’-bipyridine-5-carbonitriles (3a-h) were synthesized from 4-aminothiophenol (1). The reaction of 4-aminothiophenol with 4-acetyl-2-chloropyridine yielded 1-{2-[(4-aminophenyl)thio]pyridin-4-yl}ethanone(2).Furthertreatment of 2 with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of alcoholic malanonitrile in ammonium acetate gave compounds (3a-h).

متن کاملIsolation of biologically active Actinomycetes from untouched soils: a case study from Karaj district, Iran
Actinomycetes are a source of a broad variety of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, such as antifungi, antibiotics and antitumorals; many of which have been developed for clinical use. In this study, 34 actinomycetes from untouched soils were isolated from Alborz Province-Iran. Evaluation ofantifungal and anti bacterial activities of these isolates, demonstrated the capab...
متن کاملDesign and Synthesis of 2-Methyl and 2-Methyl-4-Nitro Imidazole Derivatives as Antifungal Agents
Two series (a and b) of N- substituted heteroaromatic compounds related to clotrimazole were synthesized. Imidazole ring of the clotrimazole was replaced by 2-methylimidazole in series a, and by 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole in series b. O-cholortrityl moiety of clotrimazole was also replaced by trityl, mono or dimethoxy trityl. Chemical structures...
