Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma and causes severe morbidity in infected patients. In 2018, 290.8 million people required treatment, and 200,000 deaths are reported per year. Treatment of this disease depends on a single drug, praziquantel (PZQ). However, in the past few years, reduced sensitivity of the parasites toward PZQ has been reported. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new drugs against this disease. In the past few years, we have focused on a new substance class called biaryl alkyl carboxylic acid derivatives, which showed promising antischistosomal activity in vitro. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of the carboxylic acid moiety led to three promising carboxylic amides (morpholine, thiomorpholine, and methyl sulfonyl piperazine) with an antischistosomal activity down to 10 μM (morpholine derivative) and no cytotoxicity up to 100 μM. Here, we show our continued work on this substance class. We investigated, in extended SAR studies, whether modification of the linker and the thiophene ring could improve the antischistosomal activity. We found that the exchange of the alkyl linker by a pentadienyl or benzyl linker was tolerated and led to similar antischistosomal effects, whereas the exchange of the thiophene ring was not tolerated. Our data suggest that the thiophene ring is important for the antischistosomal activity of this compound class.

In this research, a Cu(II) contained nano-silica triazine based dendrimer was prepared, characterized, and utilized as a retrievable catalytic system (Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2) for green formation of primary amides in water at room temperature. The structure of nanoparticles was fully characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The results revealed that the nanoparticles have spherical morphology and an average size of around 40 nm. The analysis also illustrated that the copper nanoparticles had been successfully loaded on the nitrogen-rich dendritic structure with a uniform distribution. The inductively coupled plasma analysis showed that about 0.67 mmol/g of Cu was loaded on the Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2 support. Mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, environment-friendly synthesis, and easily prepared starting materials are the key features of the present method. The catalyst is easily removed from the reaction media using a simple filtration and can be re-used at least five times without any considerable loss of its catalytic activity.
Transamidation for the Synthesis of Primary Amides at Room Temperature

Various primary amides have been synthesized using the transamidation of various tertiary amides under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. When (NH4)2CO3 reacts with a tertiary amide bearing an N-electron-withdrawing substituent, such as sulfonyl and diacyl, in DMSO at 25 °C, the desired primary amide product is formed in good yield with good funcctional group tolerance. In addition, N-tosylated lactam derivatives afforded their corresponding N-tosylamido alkyl amide products via a ring opening reaction.
