- New spiro (thio) barbiturates based on cyclohexanone and bicyclo [3.1.1]heptan-6-one by nonconcerted [1+5] cyclo addition reaction and their conformational structures
-
Crossed-aldol condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with ketones such as; acetone and cyclohexanone leads to the efficient formation of cross conjugated α,β-unsaturated ketones in excellent yield. The intermolecular and then intramolecular Michael addition reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones derived from acetone and cyclohexanone with (thio)barbituric acids lead to synthesis new type of 7,11-diaryl-2,4-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-1,3,5,9-tetraone and 2,4-diaryl-1'H-spiro[bicyclo[3.3.l]nonane-3,5'-pyrimidine]-2',4',6',9(3'H)-tetraone, respectively in good yield. Structure elucidation is carried out by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, UV-Visible, mass spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography techniques. A possible mechanism of the formation is discussed. The structural conformation also demonstrated by coupling constants derived from dihedral angles between vicinal and geminal protons. The 1H NMR spectra of NH protons of spiro compounds derived from barbituric acid show a broad singlet peak instead, these protons in the spiro compounds derived from thiobarbituric acid show two distinct peaks.

- Dibenzylideneacetone analogues as novel Plasmodium falciparum inhibitors
-
A series of dibenzylideneacetones (A1-A12) and some of their pyrazolines (B1-B4) were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for blood stage antiplasmodial properties in Plasmodium falciparum culture using SYBR-green-I fluorescence assay. The compound (1E, 4E)-1,5-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (A9) was found to be the most active with IC50 of 1.97 μM against chloroquine-sensitive strain (3D7) and 1.69 μM against chloroquine-resistant field isolate (RKL9). The MTT based cytotoxicity assay on HeLa cell line has confirmed that A9 is selective in its action against malaria parasite (with a therapeutic index of 166). Our results revealed that these compounds exhibited promising antiplasmodial activities which can be further explored as potential leads for the development of cheaper, safe, effective and potent drugs against chloroquine-resistant malarial parasites.

-
It has been demanded to improve the poor solubility of curcumin to develop an anti-tumor compound capable of inhibiting the growth of various cancer cells at a low concentration. Thus, disclosed is a novel synthetic compound, a bis(arylmethylidene)acetone, which has both of an excellent anti-tumor activity and a chemo-preventive activity. A bis(arylmethylidene)acetone (i.e., a derivative having a curcumin skeleton) which is an anti-tumor compound and has a chemo-preventive activity is synthesized and screened. A derivative having enhanced anti-tumor activity and chemo-preventive activity can be synthesized.

- Symmetrical α-bromoacryloylamido diaryldienone derivatives as a novel series of antiproliferative agents. Design, synthesis and biological evaluation
-
In a continuing study of hybrid compounds containing the α-bromoacryloyl moiety as potential anticancer drugs, we synthesized a novel series of hybrids 4a-h, in which this moiety was linked to a 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one system. Many of the conjugates prepared (4b, 4c, 4e and 4g) demonstrated pronounced, submicromolar antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines. Moreover, compound 4b induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway and activated caspase-3 in a concentration-dependent manner.

- Study of substituent effects in substituted dibenzal acetones
-
The present work involves a detailed study of the ultra-violet absorption spectra of various substituted dibenzylidene ketones derived from acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, diethyl ketone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone by condensing with several meta- and para-substituted benzaldehydes in n-hexane and in ethanol to ascertain the transition dominant in these solvents. These ketones exist as equilibrium mixtures of s-cis, cis and s-cis, trans conformations. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of the ketones exhibit two bands due to π* ← π transition around 250 and 320 nm. The 320 nm band is prominent in all the cases. There is no indication of π* ← n transition in any of the spectra. The 320 nm band is structureless in all the cases except those shown by the dibenzylidene ketones derived from cyclopentanone in hexane. Therefore it can be inferred that the dibenzylide ketones derived from all the ketones except those derived from cyclopentanone are non-planar.

- η2-dba complexes of Pd(0): The substituent effect in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling
-
(Chemical equation presented) The influence of aryl substituents in dibenzylidene acetone (dba) ligands, for Pd(0) complexes, has been evaluated for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Electron-withdrawing substituents such as NO2 or CF3 deactivate the catalyst species whereas strongly donating substituents such as OMe increase catalytic activity over that of unsubstituted dba ligands.

- Syntheses of 4H-thiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxides as precursors to sulfone-containing analogues of tetracyanoquinodimethane
-
Synthetic routes to the unsubstituted 4H-thiopynan-4-one 1,1-dioxide (5a), 2,6-dialkyl-substituted, 2-aryl- or 2-heteroaryl-6-alkyl-substituted, 2,6-diaryl- or diheteroaryl-substituted, and 2-heteroaryl-6-aryl-substituted 4H-thiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxides 5b-s are described. Sodium hydrosulfide hydrate in buffered aqueous alcohol can be used as a substitute for hydrogen sulfide gas for the introduction of sulfur to methyl acrylate, to 1,5-disubstituted-1,4-pentadien-3-ones 13, or to 1,5-disubstituted-1,4-pentadiyn-3-ones 17. The double dehydrogenation of 2,3,5,6-tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxides 13 with iodine-DMSO-sulfuric acid gives thiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxides 5 in good yield and small amounts of 1,4-pentadien-3-ones 13. 2,3,5,6-Tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxide (9) and 5,6-dihydrothiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxide (12), which lack aryl or heteroaryl substituents, give poor yields of 4H-thiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxide (5a) with iodine-DMSO-sulfuric acid.
