One-pot pseudo five-component synthesis and antioxidant evaluation of 4,4'-(aryl-methylene)bis(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol)

A simple method for the synthesis of some 4,4'-(aryl-methylene)bis(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives via a one-pot pseudo five-component reaction of phenyl hydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in acetic acid is reported. The prepared compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and spectral data. Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antioxidant activity using 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) method; all the investigated compounds showed similar and higher antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid and exhibited high protection against DNA damage induced by the bleomycin iron complex

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030

Synthesis of New Furothiazolo Pyrimido Quinazolinones from Visnagenone or Khellinone and Antimicrobial Activity

Substituted-6-methyl-1-thioxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolin-3-ones (5a,b) were synthesized from condensation of visnagenone (2a) or khellinone (2b) with 6-amino-thiouracil (3) in dimethylformamide or refluxing of (4a) or (4b) in dimethylformamide. Hence, compounds (5a,b) were used as the starting materials for preparing many new heterocyclic compounds such as; furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazoline (6a,b), furo[3,2-g]thiazolo[2&#8242;,3&#8242;:2,3]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (7a,b), substituted-benzylidene-furo[3,2-g]thiazolo[2&#8242;,3&#8242;:2,3]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazoline-3,5-dione (8a&#8315;f), 3-oxo-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazoline-pentane-2,4-dione (9a,b), 1-(pyrazole)-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (10a,b), 2-(oxo or thioxo)-pyrimidine-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (11a&#8315;d), 1-(methylthio)-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (12a,b), 1-(methyl-sulfonyl)-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (13a,b) and 6-methyl-1-((piperazine) or morpholino)-3H-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolin-3-one (14a&#8315;d). The structures of the prepared compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral data (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS) and elemental analysis. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated for the synthesized compounds against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The new compounds, furothiazolo pyrimido quinazolines 8a&#8315;f and 11a&#8315;d displayed results excellent for growth inhibition of bacteria and fungi

Synthesis of New Visnagen and Khellin Furochromone Pyrimidine Derivatives and Their Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activity

6-[(4-Methoxy/4,9-dimethoxy)-7-methylfurochromen-5-ylideneamino]-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4-ones 1a,b were prepared by reaction of 6-amino-2-thiouracil with visnagen or khellin, respectively. Reaction of 1a,b with methyl iodide afforded furochromenylideneaminomethylsulfanylpyrimidin-4-ones 2a,b. Compounds 2a,b were reacted with secondary aliphatic amines to give the corresponding furochromen-ylideneamino-2-substituted pyrimidin-4-ones 3a–d. Reaction of 3a–d with phosphorus oxychloride yielded 6-chlorofurochromenylidenepyrimidinamines 4a–d, which were reacted with secondary amines to afford furochromenylideneamino-2,6-disubstituted pyrimidin-4-ones 5a–d. In addition, reaction of 5a–d with 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione gave 3-chloro-furochromenylpyrimidopyrimidines 6a–d. The latter were reacted with piperazine and morpholine to give 1-(furochromenyl)-pyrimidopyrimidine-3,6,8-triylpiperazines or -3,6,8-triylmorpholines 7a–d. The chemical structures of the newly synthesized compound ware characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectral analysis. These compounds were also screened for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Some of them, particularly 3–7, exhibited promising activities

Synthesis, anticancer activity and molecular docking of new quinolines, quinazolines and 1,2,4-triazoles with pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidines

Recently, heterocyclic compounds such as pyrido [2,3-d] pyrimidinones, 1,2,4-triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidoquinazolines, and quinoline derivatives have gained attention from researchers due to their pharmacological and biological activities. To synthesize new compounds, quinoline-2-thioxopyrido [2,3-d] pyrimidinone (1) and methylthioquinoline-pyrido [2,3-d] pyrimidinones (2) were used as starting materials. The new compounds synthesized were quinoline-pyrido [2,3-d] (DeGoey et al., 2013; Gouda et al., 2020; Dangolani et al., 2018) [1, 2,4]triazolopyrimidinones (5a-d), 2-methylsulfonyl-quinoline-pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidinone (6), pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, pyridopyrimido (Gouda et al., 2020; DeGoey et al., 2013) 2,12,1-b] quinazoline (9), pyrido [(Khajouei et al., 2021; Gouda et al., 2020) 3,23,2-e]bis (1,2,4-triazole)pyrimidine (12a,b) and pyridopyrimido-diquinazoline-dione (16) derivatives. These compounds were synthesized with high efficiency, producing yields ranging from 69% to 90%, under moderate conditions, through treating (2) or (10) with various reagents such as anthranilic acid, phosphorus oxychloride, hydrazine hydrate, formic acid, glacial acetic acid, arylamine (aniline, 4-chloroaniline, or 4-methoxyaniline), and sec-amine (piperazine or morpholine). The new structures of the synthesized compounds were verified using various spectroscopic procedures, such as IR, NMR, and mass spectra. Molecular docking studies were carried out to investigate and discuss how the prepared compounds bind to amino acids such as Estrogen Receptor alpha, EGFR, and NADPH oxidase protein. Also, the synthesized products were tested for their anticancer and antioxidant activities against the (MCF-7) breast carcinoma cell line and human normal Retina pigmented epithelium cells (RPE-1). The study on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) established a correlation between the chemical structure of the newly synthesized compounds and their anticancer activity. The findings suggest that compounds 5a-d, 9,12a-b, and 16 exhibited promising anticancer activity and antioxidant effects as measured by DPPH inhibition
