This work demonstrates
the optimization of an efficient, mild,
and environmentally friendly synthetic approach to access a diverse
library of N-naphthoyl thioureas. These derivatives
could be exploited as precursor scaffolds for designing valuable heterocycles
with anticipated biological activities. Additionally, the utilization
of a copper complex derived from the newly synthesized N-naphthoyl thiourea ligand in the photodegradation of methyl orange
(MO) dye was explored. The antiproliferative effect of the synthesized
derivatives was examined against MCF-7, HCT116, and A549 cancer cell
lines. Most of the assembled derivatives revealed a significant cytotoxic
effect, in some cases, greater than doxorubicin. Of these, the copper
complex demonstrated significant antitumor activities (IC50 < 1.3 μM) and lesser cytotoxic impact (IC50 >
76 μM), indicating its possibility as a pioneering candidate
for future carcinogenic pharmaceutics. Relations between the structure
and activity also have been addressed.
I N this present work, synthesized a novel derivatives of bis-chalcones via condensation of 1,4-diacetylbenzene with different aldehydes in basic media. The reaction of chalcone derivatives 3a,b with thioglycolic acid gave compounds 4a,b. That was reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate in presence of ammonium acetate to give the corresponding cyanopyridine derivatives 5a,b. Furthermore, bis-chalcone 3a,b was cyclization to pyrazole analogs by using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to give compounds 7a,b in good yields. All products were characterized by IR spectrum, 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR, and elemental analysis. The new compounds have been screened as anti-bacterial activity
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
