Objective(s): Chalcones and their rigid analogues represent an important class of small molecules having anticancer activities. Therefore, in this study the synthesis and cytotoxic activity of new 3-benzylidenchroman-4-ones were described as rigid chalcone analogues.   Materials and Methods: The reaction of resorcinol with 3-chloropropionic acid in the presence of CF3SO3H was a...

In the title mol-ecule, C(24)H(20)N(2)O(2)S, the thia-zole and amide groups are essentially coplanar. The thia-zole ring forms dihedral angles of 61.62 (4) and 26.75 (5)° with the benzene rings of the methoxy-phenyl and methyl-phenyl groups, respectively, and 33.69 (6)° with the phenyl ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional n...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(23)H(17)N(3)O(2), the methoxy-phenyl ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 13.34 (12) and 88.83 (12)° with respect to the methyl-phenyl and phthalonitrile rings, respectively; the dihedral angle between methyl-phenyl and phthalonitrile rings is 89.67 (10)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions link mol-ecules into chains. ...

In attempt to find new pharmacologically active molecules, we report here the synthesis and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of various 1-[5-(substituted phenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]-5-phenyl-1H-tetrazole (IV a-h).The anti-inflammatory activity of title compounds were examined by denaturation of proteins method. All the compounds exhibited weak to potent anti-inflammatory act...

Telfairia occidentalis possesses high antioxidant activity. However, the antioxidant components of the plant have not yet been identified. This study was undertaken to identify the phenolics in the leaf of the plant. Extract and fractions of the leaf of the plant were analysed using the HPLC and GCMS. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of gallic acid (22.19μg/mg), catechin (29.17μg/mg), caffei...

A further investigation of the leaves and stems of Saprosma scortechinii afforded 13 compounds, of which 10 are new compounds. These were elucidated as the bis-iridoid glucosides, saprosmosides G (1) and H (2), the iridoid glucoside, 6-O-epi-acetylscandoside (3), and the anthraquinones, 1-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquinone (4), 1-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxy-9,10-anthraquin...

Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) supported on silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles has been prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2@HPW) in the condensation of benzaldehyde (B) with glycerol (Gly) for production cyclic acetals. Physicochemical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray ...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(13)Cl(2)N(3)O(2)S(2), the thia-zolidinone ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom displaced by 0.394 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms. The thia-diazole ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 7.40 (4)° with respect to the 4-methoxy-phenyl ring. Intra-molecular C-H⋯S, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds result in the formation of t...

Geometric parameters of the title compound, C(24)H(20)N(2)O(2)S, are in the usual ranges. The central heterocycle makes dihedral angles of 41.29 (4) and 72.94 (5)° with the phenyl ring and the methoxy-phenyl ring, respectively.
