The pattern of substance abuse varies between different places and is ever-changing. Ecstasy and ketamine are two relative newcomers that have stayed and caused much harm. Emerging abuse of therapeutic substances should be identified in order to prevent its proliferation. Piperazines are a group of synthetic chemicals with psychoactive properties. They are popular party drugs elsewhere and were...

Background: The renin is a key performer in the renin–angiotensin system, and it offers a resource for the beneficial action of hypertension and heart malfunction. The keto piperazine based renin inhibitors have shown greater potential and good biavaibility. Objective: To develop a highly efficient QSAR model for 80 piperazines and keto piperazines to predict renin enzyme inhibitory activity. M...

Eleven compounds have been synthesized in a series of [1, 3, 5] triazine analogues which, in addition to 4-amino benzonitrile, contain 8-hydroxy quinoline and different piperazines as well as piperidine substituents on the C-6 position of s-triazine ring. The title compounds were then evaluated for their in vitro microbial activity against 2 gram –Ve bacteria (E.coli, P. aeruginosa), 2 gram +Ve...

A new series of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide and 3,5,6,8-tetrahydropyrido[4',3':4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives were designed, synthesized, their binding and functional properties as α1-adrenoreceptors blockers were evaluated. A new validated α1-adrenoreceptor blocker pharmacophore model (hypothesis) was generated using Discovery Studio 2.5. The c...

Iridium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening of oxabenzonorbornadienes with N-substituted piperazines was described. The reaction afforded the corresponding ring-opening products in high yields and moderate enantioselectivities in the presence of 2.5 mol % [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ and 5.0 mol % (S)-p-Tol-BINAP. The effects of various chiral bidentate ligands, catalyst loading, solvent, and temperature on the ...
