This is one of the reasons why reviewing previous studies will direct future investigations. The continuous chemical investigations of medicinal plants have been leading to a plethora of saponins. Some of these compounds carry one or more sulfonyl or sulfate groups. Such association rarely occurs in the plant kingdom. Till now, no report has summarized these sulfonated saponins isolated from medicinal plants. There is still a gap between the sulfonyl function and biological activities of these saponins. The present review encompasses the naturally occurring saponins containing the sulfonyl group either on the sapogenin or on the sugar moiety. The biosynthetic routes, their spectroscopic characteristics to shed more light on future structure elucidation and their biological activities are reported. It resulted that 141 saponins associating SO<sub>3</sub>H or SO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> groups were reported from medicinal plants largely distributed within Zygophyllaceae and Asparagaceae families. Some of these compounds exhibited interesting biological activities including anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral. It emerges from this review that many sulfonated saponins have been characterized, but just a few have been subjected to biological studies. The mechanism of action of these compounds remains understudied and further investigations need to be undertaken to understand how they act. This review covers reported data from 1983–2024.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":699,"journal":{"name":"Medicinal Chemistry Research","volume":"34 6","pages":"1212 - 1236"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00044-025-03412-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144125682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores the potential of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors derived from carbamate and benzo-fused heterocyclic scaffolds as potential therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease. Inhibiting acetylcholinesterase is crucial for enhancing cognitive function in Alzheimer’s patients. The findings indicate that novel compounds featuring the mentioned scaffolds exhibit promising acetylcholinesterase inhibitory efficacy. Several of these compounds display superior half-maximal inhibitory concentration values against acetylcholinesterase compared to FDA-approved acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The review emphasizes the importance of these compounds in addressing the cholinergic deficits associated with Alzheimer’s disease, where the loss of cholinergic neurons results in reduced acetylcholine levels in the synaptic cleft. Benzimidazole-based thiazole derivatives have demonstrated remarkable inhibitory capabilities against cholinesterase enzymes, with some compounds showing half-maximal inhibitory concentration values as low as 0.10 µM. The review highlights the effectiveness of benzofuran, benzoxazole, indole, indolinone, and coumarin derivatives in inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and providing neuroprotection, making them promising candidates for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, the review emphasizes the necessity for further research into the mechanisms of action of these substances and their effects on cognitive performance in clinical settings to enhance the quality of life for Alzheimer’s patients. Overall, this work contributes to the ongoing search for effective treatments for Alzheimer’s, stressing the importance of discovering new chemical entities capable of improving neurotransmission and cognitive function.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":699,"journal":{"name":"Medicinal Chemistry Research","volume":"34 6","pages":"1200 - 1211"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144125612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The enhanced therapeutic properties observed in these drug candidates underscore the profound influence ferrocene can exert on the molecular and biological behaviour of bioactive compounds. This Perspective delves into the scope and limitations of incorporating ferrocene into organic molecules and natural products, examining how such modifications affect their mechanisms of action and overall biological activities.

The antitubercular property of the synthesized compounds were measured in vitro using Tween 80 and Tyloxapol supplemented growth media. Compounds in this study generally showed sub micromolar antitubercular activity in tween 80/albumin supplemented growth medium, and moderate to poor activity in tyloxapol/casitone supplemented growth medium. Compound <b>4e</b>, havin a trimethylenediamine moiety and low melting point of 68 °C, emerged as the hit compound, possessing MIC<sub>90</sub> value of 0.2 µM. <b>4e</b> is non-cytotoxic when tested against normal human cell line, exhibiting CC<sub>50</sub> value &gt; 20 µM.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":699,"journal":{"name":"Medicinal Chemistry Research","volume":"34 5","pages":"1065 - 1073"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00044-025-03402-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
