In this work, we present a study on series of recently synthesized indole derived compounds that were previously suggested by experimental tests as having herbicidal action. Density functional theory (DFT) and its time-dependent formalism (TD-DFT) used for investigating ground excited state properties, respectively. The M06-2X CAM-B3LYP exchange-correlation with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. Compu...

Although antitubulin drugs are used widely to treat human cancer, many patients display intrinsic or acquired drug resistance that imposes major obstacles to successful therapy. Mounting evidence argues that cancer cell apoptosis triggered by antitubulin drugs relies upon activation of the cell-cycle kinase Cdk1; however, mechanistic connections of this event to apoptosis remain obscure. In thi...

Understanding the molecular interactions between inorganic phases such as silica and organic material is fundamental for chromatographic applications, for tailoring silica-enzyme interactions, and for elucidating the mechanisms of biomineralization. The formation, structure, and properties of the organic/inorganic interface is crucial in this context. Here, we investigate the interaction of sel...

Cancers, particularly, breast cancer is one of the deadliest disease in women and requires to be treated with lowest side-effects toxicity. Quinazolinone Benzimidazole nucleus are privileged reported anti-cancer activity. Hence, combined derivatives 3-((1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one E(1-8) were prepared tested for cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cell line. Compound E6 show...

Mono- and binuclear arene–ruthenium(II) complexes with imidazole-containing ligands were prepared by the reaction of (L1 = bis(imidazole-1-yl)methane; ImH 1H-Imidazole; BImH 1H-Benzimidazole) [(p-cym)Ru(µ-Cl)2]2 dimers. When bis(imidazole-1-yl)methane reacted in methanol, a complex type [Ru2(L1)2(p-cym)2Cl2]Cl2 (2) cyclic structure was synthesized, whereas using acetonitrile as solvent under sa...

ABSTRACT A series of new benzimidazole and benzotriazole derivatives containing a tetrazole moiety was synthesized by N-alkylation of 5-aryltetrazole with 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1-(3-chloropropyl)-1H-benzimidazole and 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-2-(3-chloropropyl)-2H-benzotriazole. The reaction was regioselective and mostly 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives were obtained. The effect of all synthesized...

Biologically as well medicinally important two different organic scaffolds, viz. benzimidazole and quinazoline, are present in the class of heterocyclic compounds called benzimidazoquinazolinone. Similarly, indolylxanthenones containing moieties such indole xanthene. In this work, a new green protocol for synthesis benzoimidazoquinazolinone indolylxanthenone derivatives was attained under envir...

3-(1H-Indol-2-yl)phenyl)(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanone (I-387) is a novel indole compound with antitubulin action and potent antitumor activity in various preclinical models. I-387 avoids drug resistance mediated by P-glycoprotein and showed less neurotoxicity than vinca alkaloids during in vivo studies. We examined the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of I-387 in mice as a component of our p...
