The esterification reaction of trimellitic anhydride chloride TMAC 1 with N-(hydroxymethyl) phthalimide NHMP 2, N-(2-hydroxyethyl) phthalimide NHEP 3 or N-(hydroxymethyl) thalidomide NHMT 4 afforded novel cyclic imide-ester derivatives; phthaloyl-phthalic anhydride methyl ester PPAME 5, phthaloyl-phthalic anhydride ethyl ester PPAEE 6 and thalidomide-phthalic anhydride methyl ester TPAME 7, res...

The general lipid-lowering action of the N-substituted phthalimide derivatives reported herein, as well as the activity of potassium phthalimide, implicates the phthalimide moiety as possessing hypolipidemic activity in rodents. Compounds containing substituents with chain lengths of four carbon or oxygen atoms showed the best hypolipidemic activity in the series tested. Tests involving 1-N-pht...

based on the molecular modeling studies on two major families of anxiolytics and sedative hypnotics (benzodiazepines and barbiturates) a series of phthalimide derivatives were prepared from corresponding di-methyl phthalate derivatives in two steps, namely trans-amidification and ring closer of di-methyl phthalate with urea and base catalysed condensation of 4-bromobenzyl chloride and benzoyl c...

Objective(s): Anticonvulsant activity of phthalimide was discovered in 2000 by molecular hybridization of thalidomide and ameltolide. In our previous research we have reported some new 4-substituted derivatives of phthalimide with good activity against the tonic and clonic seizures Material and Methods: A series of novel 4-flurophthalimides that designed using bioisosteric replacement were synt...

A series of N-substituted phthalimide derivatives were synthesized based on a pharmacophore study of paecilocin A (a natural PPAR-γ agonist) and synthetic leads. The introduction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to the phthalimide skeleton yielded compounds 3-14. Compound 7 showed significant PPAR-γ activation in a luciferase assay using rat liver Ac2F cells. Docking simulations showed tha...

A series of annulated 7-membered oxazepine and 8-membered oxazocine derivatives were synthesized by photoreaction of phthalimide derivatives and an alkene. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated, and compounds 18 and 20 exhibited best antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The relationships between structure (especially steric structure) and ant...

OBJECTIVES Phthalimide-based derivatives have anticonvulsant activity like as phenytoin by inhibition of sodium channel. In our previously research we mentioned about some phthalimide derivatives as potent anticonvulsant agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen analogs of 2-substituted phthalimide pharmacophore were synthesized and then were evaluated for the anticonvulsant activities in pentyl...

N-hydroxyethyl phthalimide (PE-I) was prepared by refluxing phthalic anhydride with ethanolamine. 3phthalimidoethyl substituted benzoic acids (PE-II) were prepared by refluxing N-hydroxyethyl phthalimide with substituted benzoic acids. The corresponding acid chlorides (PE-III) were condensed with benzilidine-4acetophenone derivatives to afford the 3-(phthalimidoethyl)-4-substituted cinnamoyl su...
