Isatin (3a), isatin 3-carbohydrazone (4a), 5-spiro (isatin) 2-(N-acetyl hydrazino) 4-(N-acetyl)-∆2-1,3,4 oxadiazoline (5a), and 5-spiro (isatin) 2-hydrazino∆2-1,3,4 oxadiazoline (6a) had been synthesized from the unsubstituted oximinoacetanilide (2a). 4-Chlorooximinoacetanilide (2b), 5-chloroisatin (3b), 5-chloroisatin 3-carbohydrazone (4b) and 5-spiro (5-chloroisatin) 2-(N-acetyl hydrazino) 4...

Reaction of salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (L), 2-hydroxyacetophenone thiosemicarbazone (L) and 2-hydroxynapthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (L) with [Ru(dmso)4Cl2] affords a family of three dimeric complexes (1), (2) and (3) respectively. Crystal structure of the complex (3) has been determined. In these complexes, each monomeric unit consists of one ruthenium center and two thiosemicarbazone l...

Twelve new bis-Schiff bases of isatin, benzylisatin and 5-fluoroisatin 3a-3l were prepared by condensation of isatin, benzylisatin and 5-fluoroisatin with primary aromatic amines. The chemical structures of the products were confirmed by 1H- and 13CNMR, IR and mass spectral data. The compounds were screened for antiviral activity against a panel of DNA and RNA viruses. Minimum cytotoxic and min...

A new series of PdII complexes derived from thiosemicarbazone has been synthesized. The synthesized PdII complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FT-IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, UV/VIS, and thermal studies. A square-planar geometry has been assigned around PdII ions on the basis of results obtained from UV/VIS studies. The thiosemicarbazone ligand and its PdII complexes hav...

A series of new thiosemicarbazones derived from natural diterpene kaurenoic acid were synthesized and tested against the epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi to evaluate their antitrypanosomal potential. Seven of the synthesized thiosemicarbazones were more active than kaurenoic acid with IC₅₀ values between 2-24.0 mM. The o-nitro-benzaldehyde-thiosemicarbazone derivative was the most active...

Four ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [RuCl(CO)(py)(PPh3)L] (L= thiosemicarbazone ligand) have been synthesized and the structural features were determined by various physico-chemical and spectral techniques. The thiosemicarbazone ligands act as bidentate, monobasic chelating ligands with S and N as the donor sites and are preferably found in thiol form in all the complexes studied. In order...

To develop more potent small molecules with enhanced free radical scavenger properties, a series of N-substituted isatin derivatives was synthesized, and the cytoprotective effect on the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by H2O2 was screened. All these compounds were found to be active, and N-ethyl isatin was found with the most potent activity of 69.7% protective effect on PC12 cells. Structure-...

The inhibitor of monoaminooxydase isatin and the ligand of B-receptors cholecystokinin-4 play a significant role in the suppression and induction of depressive and anxiety states. We induced the formation of auto-antibodies to these compounds against their conjugates with antigen-carrier by immunization of white rats. The result was long-term (more than 2 months) stimulation of depressive and a...
