Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New 3-Phenyl-1-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)alkyl]-piperidine-2,6-diones
A set of 13 alkyl derivatives of 3-phenylpiperidine-2,6-dione were synthesized. Newly obtained compounds were investigated in vitro against HIV-1 and other selected viruses. The benzyl 3f and fluorophenyl 3g derivatives showed moderate protection against CVB-2 and the compound 3g also against HSV-1. Derivatives were tested also for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. The molecular structures of 3a and 3d were determined by an X-ray analysis
The cytotoxic effect of copper (II) complexes with halogenated 1,3-disubstituted arylthioureas on cancer and bacterial cells
A series of eight copper (II) complexes with 3-(4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl)thiourea were designed and synthesized. The cytotoxic activity of all compounds was assessed in three human cancer cell lines (SW480, SW620, PC3) and human normal keratinocytes (HaCaT). The complexes 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 were cytotoxic to the studied tumor cells in the low micromolar range, without affecting the normal cells. The complexes 1, 3, 7 and 8 induced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in all cancer cell lines, but not in the HaCaT cells. They provoked early apoptosis in pathological cells, especially in SW480 and PC3 cells. The ability of compounds 1, 3, 7 and 8 to diminish interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration in a cell was established. For the first time, the influence of the most promising Cu (II) complexes on intensities of detoxifying and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging the enzymes of tumor cells was studied. The cytotoxic effect of all copper (II) conjugates against standard and hospital bacterial strains was also proved
Antistaphylococcal Activity of Selected Thiourea Derivatives
Five of thiourea derivatives were prepared using as a starting compound 3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline, 1,3-thiazol-2-amine, 2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and commercial isothiocyanates. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial activity. Derivatives 2 and 3 showed the highest inhibition against Gram-positive cocci (standard and hospital strains). The observed MIC values were in the range of 0.5–8 μg/ml. The products effectively inhibited the formation of biofilms of methicillin-resistant and standard strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Inhibitory activity of thioureas 2 and 3 against Staphylococcus aureus topoisomerase IV was studied. The examined compounds were nongenotoxic
Biological evaluation of 10-(diphenylmethylene)-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene-3,5-dione derivatives
AbstractAntibacterial and antifungal activity of 10-(diphenylmethylene)-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene-3,5-dione derivatives were examined by the disc-diffusion method (growth inhibition zone diameter in agar medium). The MIC's for the most active agents were determined. Title compounds were also evaluated in vitro against representatives of different virus classes. Most of the tested compounds exhibit activity against CVB-2 virus
9-Methyl-3,5-dioxo-4-azatricyclo[5.2.2.02,6]undec-8-ene-1,8-diyl Diacetate
9-Methyl-3,5-dioxo-4-azatricyclo[5.2.2.02,6]undec-8-ene-1,8-diyl diacetatewas synthesized from 2-methylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione. The title compound was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and MS

4-Azatricyclo[5.2.2.02,6]undecane-3,5,8-triones as Potential Pharmacological Agents
A series of twenty six arylpiperazine and aminoalkanol derivatives of 4-azatricyclo[ 5.2.2.02,6]undecane-3,5,8-trione have been prepared. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity and anti-HIV-1 activity in MT-4 cells
Thiourea derivatives of 4-azatricyclo[5.2.2.02,6]undec-8-ene-3,5-dione - Synthesis and biological activity
A series of halogeno derivatives of thiourea bearing a polycyclic imide core has been efficiently synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial activity. The structures of the compounds were established by 1H and 13C NMR and MS methods. The molecular structure of 4Clc was determined by an X-ray crystallography. Compounds containing 3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl substituent (3Cl4Fb, 3Cl4Fd) were found to be the most promising against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC values ranged from 8 to 32 μg/mL for standard and 32-64 μg/mL for hospital strains). The in vitro cytotoxicity against MT-4 cells of all compounds was evaluated
