Among them, nitropyridines and nitroanilines are widely used as useful intermediates for synthesis of biologically active compounds of pharmaceutical and agrochemical importance. Hence, we reported a powerful method for synthesis of various kinds of nitro compounds by using a three component ring transformation (TCRT) of dinitropyridone 1 with ketones in the presence of less nucleophilic ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) as nitrogen source.\u0000When pyridone 1 was reacted with aromatic ketone in the presence of ammonium acetate, 6-arylated 3-nitropyriines 2 were formed besides diazabicyclo compounds 3. This method was also applicable to cycloalkanones and α,β-unsaturated ketones to afford cycloalka[b]pyridines 4 and 6-alkynylated/alkenylated pyridines 5, respectively. It was found to be possible to use aldehydes as the substrate, what led to 3,5-disubstituted pyridines 6.\u0000On the other hand, when aliphatic ketones were employed as the substrate, two kinds of ring transformation proceeded. Namely, 2,6-disubstituted 4-nitroanilines 8 were formed in addition to nitropyridines 7. This protocol was successful applied to synthesis of N,N,2,6-tetrasubstituted nitroanilines 9 upon treatment of dinitropyridone 1 with ketone and amine in the presence of acetic acid.","PeriodicalId":20450,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90203989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biofilm-associated infections, which are a significant cause of mortality, are also considered a serious problem [2]. Derivatives of cinnamic acid have been investigated for a long time due to their wide spectrum of biological activities, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory [3]. \u0000Based on these facts, a series of 16 ring-substituted N-arylcinnamamides was synthetized and investigated for their antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC 29213 and 3 methicillin-resistant isolates. The microtitration dilution method was used for the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). In addition, the most potent compounds were studied for their synergetic effect with clinically used antibacterial chemotherapeutics and ability to inhibit and degrade staphylococcal biofilm; in addition, the dynamics of their antibacterial activity was characterized. \u0000(2E)-N-[3,5-bis(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-phenylprop-2-enamide and (2E)-3-phenyl-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]prop-2-enamide showed the highest activities (MICs = 22.27 and 27.47 µM, respectively) against all four staphylococcal strains. These compounds showed an activity against biofilm formation of S. aureus ATCC 29213 in concentrations close to MICs, but no degradative effect on mature biofilm was observed. Both compounds showed abilities to increase the activity of clinically used antibiotics with different mechanisms of action (vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline). In time-kill studies, a decrease of colony-forming units (CFU/mL) of >99% was observed after 8 h from the beginning of incubation. \u0000 \u0000This contribution was supported by grant No. UK/229/2018 of the Comenius University in Bratislava, grants FaF UK/9/2018 and FaF UK/37/2018 of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Comenius University in Bratislava and partially by SANOFI-AVENTIS Pharma Slovakia, s.r.o. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000HEUER, O. et al.

In 2015, 91 tropical and sub-tropical countries are endemic for this infectious disease. Pregnant women and children are the most sensitive to this infection and, in 2015, 429 000 people died. Among the five species of Plasmodium responsible for human malaria, P. falciparum is the parasite which causes the most serious form of the disease. More recent efforts focused on the development of antimalarial vaccines and since 2006, World Health Organization (WHO) recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). In drugs resistance areas, several antimalarial drugs, such as aminoaryl-alcohol (mefloquine (MQ), lumefantrine (LM)), are currently used in combination with artemisinin derivatives. However, the emergence of multi-drug-resistant parasites decreases efficacy of ACTs. Thus, the design of new active compounds on Plasmodium-resistant strains is urgently. \u0000We have previously developed an asymmetric synthesis to prepare 4-aminoquinoline-methanol enantiomers (AQM) as MQ analogs. They were active on nanomolar range against Pf3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) and PfW2 (chloroquine-resistant) P. falciparum strains. Interestingly, (S)-enantiomers displayed an activity increased by 2 to 15-fold as compared to their (R)-counterparts. Currently their mechanisms of actions are not totally clear and remain to be explored. \u0000In continuation of our work, we are interested now to study the change of heterocycle (fluorene vs quinoline) on the antimalarial activity. We focus on the design and the preparation of novel asymmetric 2,4,7-trisusbtituted fluorenes, new aminofluorene-methanol derivatives (AFM) as LM analogs. The evaluation of their antiplasmodial activities against P. falciparum and their corresponding cytotoxicities proved the interest of this pharmacophore with activities on nanomolar range against Pf3D7 and PfW2. We will present here the access and the biological results on these AFMs.","PeriodicalId":20450,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82959058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this work was to study the anti-herpetic activity of exopolysaccharides produced by Leuconostoc sp.\u0000Methodology: The strains of the LAB were isolated from fermented homemade vegetables: apples, tomato juice, and sauerkraut. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) were isolated from the culture fluid. Cytotoxicity and antiherpetic activity of 7 EPSs (15a, 48a, 33a, 43a, 2t, 19s, and 6s) were studied using MTT assay. The influence of EPSs on the herpes simplex virus 1 type (HSV-1) was determined by the virucidal, adsorption and penetration assays. The impact of the EPSs on the cell cycle under a condition of HSV-1 infection was analyzed using flow cytometric analysis of propidium iodide-stained cells.\u0000Results: All EPSs demonstrated the minimal cytotoxicity of cells and their CC50 values were >3.5 mg/ml. It was determined, that only EPSs 2t, 19s, and 6s significantly inhibited HSV-1 reproduction; their EC50 value equal to 0.2 and 0.5 mg/ml, and the selectivity index was in the range of 39 – 52. Moreover, their showed virucidal activity when were added to virus 3 h before adsorption reduced HSV-1 infectivity by 86 – 97%. Our studies revealed that these EPSs were able to prevent the HSV-1 attachment to cells and penetration into cells in a different manner, reducing HSV-1 production by 70 – 99 %. Furthermore, the normalization of the number of cells in all phases of the cell cycle compared with the profile of infected cells and the increasing number of cells in G1 phase to 79% compared with the control values of viral infections were determined after using of EPSs.\u0000Conclusion: This study presents the first data indicating an enormous potential of using EPSs the genus Leuconostoc sp. for lower or hinder the spread of diseases caused by herpesviruses.\u0000Funding: Publications are based on the research provided by the grant support of the State Fund for Fundamental Research (project F83).","PeriodicalId":20450,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84650659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biphasic extraction solvents system allows, by one cycle, to simultaneously obtain two extracts, alcohol and oil, containing a complex of hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds. The dependence of the ratio of the polar and non-polar phases on the biologically active substances extraction from the Hypericum herb was studied. The effectiveness of two-phase extraction was determined by the content of flavonoids in the water-alcohol phases and carotenoids in oil phases. It was determined that a two-phase solvent system extracts a complex of biologically active substances of Hypericum maculatum L. more effectively than a sequential extraction with separate solvents of different polarities. The polar phase enhances the processes of desorption, diffusion and phase transfer of not only hydrophilic, but also lipophilic Hypericum herb substances.

In fact, Src activation has been associated with multiple cancers, such as colon, breast, pancreas, lung, or brain (Roskoski, R. Jr. Pharmacol. Res. 2015, 94, 9-25; Creedon, H., et al., Crit. Rev. Oncog. 2012, 17, 145-159). There are only few Src inhibitors in clinical development, therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new low molecular weight therapeutics able to inhibit Src and, thus, to modulate aberrant pathways leading to malignant transformation of cells (Lu, X.L., et al., Curr. Med. Chem. 2012, 19, 1821-1829). Heterocyclic compounds attracted a lot of attention because of their wide spread biological activities. Thus, we have previously reported the synthesis of biological active heterocyclic derivatives based on the reactivity of the amidine moiety of 2-amino-2-oxazolines 2 with bis-electrophiles (Massip, S., et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2006, 14, 2697-2719). \u0000https://ibb.co/hzkMnJ \u0000In a preliminary screening testing our heterocycles library, we have identified a “hit” (compound 1d) derived from various substituted 6-formyl-oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines as a new Src kinase inhibitor (IC50 = 4 µM). These original oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives 1a-k were synthesized through a Diels-Alder cycloaddition of alkylidene derivatives of 2-amino-2-oxazoline (compounds 3a-k) with acrolein, as an electron-poor dienophile, a reaction previously described by our group (Guillon, J., et al., Synlett 2002, 8, 1249-1252). Versatility given by this reaction allowed us to access a promising family of diversely substituted 6-formyl-oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines with inhibitory effect on Src kinase. \u0000Acknowledgments: This work was supported by a grant from Ligue Contre le Cancer (Gironde, Bordeaux, France).","PeriodicalId":20450,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79171991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their genome consists in a (+) single stranded RNA molecule, which contains numerous highly structurally conserved RNA domains. They represent a good model to study and characterize the functional roles of RNA domains in the regulation of essential viral processes (e.g. translation, replication). Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind their function is essential to understand the viral infective cycle.
