In this article, a novel series of (E)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid (TMCA) amide derivatives 1-18 were designed and synthesized by a facile and one-pot step, which were achieved with good yields using 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) and 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) as activation system. All the synthesized derivatives were biologically evaluated for their anticonvulsant, sedative activity and neurotoxicity using the maximal electroshock (MES) model, sc-pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) model, pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping model, and locomotor activity tests, respectively. Among them, compounds 4, 9 and 16 exhibited good anticonvulsant activity in primary evaluation. Furthermore, compound 4 is the most effective anticonvulsant and sedative agent in subsequent tests, while the low threshold of toxicity of compound 4 is vigilant. Compounds 9 and 16 also performed significantly anticonvulsant activity in subsequent tests with weak toxicity. The molecular modeling experiments also predicted good binding interactions of the obtained active molecules with the GABA transferas. Therefore, it could be concluded that the synthesized derivatives 4, 9 and 16 would represent useful lead compounds for further investigation in the development of anticonvulsant and sedative agents.

In this work it is described the synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial and toxicity evaluation of a series of analogs of piplartine, a piperamide found in Piper sp. The compounds structures were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, high resolution mass spectroscopy and were evaluated against strains of Candida spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Derivative 24 was almost four-fold more potent (IC50: 48.83 μM) and five-fold less toxic (SI > 3) than piplartine (IC50: 189.2 μM; SI: 0.21) against Candida krusei, as well as two-fold more potent than fluconazole (IC50: 104.48 μM). This compound was also active against Candida tropicalis at 97.67 μM. Benzoyl derivative 17 was three-fold more potent (IC50: 85.2 μM) and more than five-fold less toxic (CC50: 231.71 μM) than piplartine (IC50: 315.33 μM and CC50: 41.14 μM) against Staphylococcus aureus. Given these findings, we have found analogs of piplartine which can be assumed as prototypes for the optimization and the development of new antimicrobial (compounds 24 and 17) agents.

A simple synthesis and biologic evaluation of trans-3,4,5- trimethoxycinnamamides 10a-e and 11 as novel antinarcotic agents is described. The synthetic key strategies involve condensation reaction and coupling reaction to generate trans-3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamamides 10a-e and 11. They were evaluated for free radical scavenging, inhibitory action for neurotoxicity in cultured neurons, and antinarcotic activity in mice. It was found that compounds 10a, 10d, and 10e displayed significant inhibitory action of the glutamate-induced neurotoxicity and 10a-e and 11 showed high antinarcotic activity in mice.
