AbstractA broad range of vicinal diamines based on styrene oxide are synthesisedvia mixtures of regioisomeric amino alcohols. The ring opening of the intermediate aziridinium ions by primary amines proceeds with high regioselectivity, leading to the target diamines as single regioisomers for all reaction series. The compounds are of potential biological interest as ligands for cisplatin analogues. Anticancer activity tests of both groups of compounds are in progress.

3,5-disubstituted-1,2,4-tiadiazoles with substituted-styril and heterocycle-vinyl were obtained by extending the method which implies the use of 3,5-disubstituted-1,2,4-ditiazolium salts as precursors [1-4]. A comparative study of the reaction process in the case of perchlorates, diacide phosphates, tribromides and 3,5-distyrile-dithiazolium triiodides, taken as etalon, was perfomed. Good yields were obtained when using perchlorates, phosphates and triiodides. The reaction was made by heating the reaction mixture and by ultrasound exposure. The structure of the compounds was confirmed by chemical and physical analysis and the data obtained were identical to those of 3,5-disubstituted-1,2,4-tiadiazoles obtained by another methods [5,6]. The biological (antibacterial and anticancer) activity of the synthesized compounds was tested and the results indicated a medium activity.

Naturally occurring naphthoquinones (NQs) comprising highly reactive small molecules are the subject of increasing attention due to their promising biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, apoptosis-inducing activities, and especially anticancer activity. Lapachol, lapachone, and napabucasin belong to the NQs and are in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of many cancers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive and updated overview on the biological activities of several new NQs isolated from different species of plants reported from January 2013 to January 2020, their potential therapeutic applications and their clinical significance.

N-Substituted amides of endo-3-(3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene- 2-carboxylic acid and 1-(5-methylthio-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)cyclohexane-2-carboxylic acid were prepared by the condensation reaction of endo-S-methyl-N1-(bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3- dicarbonyl)isothiosemicarbazide and S-methyl-N1-(cyclohexane-2,3-dicarbonyl)isothiosemicarbazide with primary amines. The synthesized compounds were screened for their microbiological and pharmacological activities

A series of several diazenyl Schiff base derivatives were designed and synthesized through azo coupling of diazotised primary amines with the novel synthesized Schiff base ligand (E)-N-((2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) methylene)-4-phenylthiazol-2-amine. All the synthesized compounds have been analysed by different spectral techniques such as elemental analysis, 1H NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and LC-MS for their structural confirmation. The above conjugates have been studied for their solvent effects by treating them with different solvents. The results of in vitro cytotoxic study of the synthesized compounds against MCF 7 (human breast cancer cell line) and K562 (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia cell line) revealed that some of the compounds show cytotoxic effect. However, the compounds (NZ)-N-(((4-bromo-3-methylphenyl) diazenyl) (2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) methylene)-4-phenylthiazol-2-amine: (5d) and 4-(((Z)-(2-chloroquinolin-3- yl)(4-phenylthiazol-2-ylimino)methyl)diazenyl)phenol (5e) showed potent cytotoxic activity in comparison to other compounds against MCF 7. Corroborating the results of anticancer activity, it is found to be observed that the compound 4- (((Z)- (2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) (4-phenylthiazol-2-ylimino)methyl) diazenyl) phenol (5e) showed excellent anticancer activity against MCF 7, which is further justified by the apoptosis study through Annexin V-FITC/PI analysis.

We report a three-component diamination of simple unactivated alkenes using an electrophilic nitrene source and amine nucleo­philes. The reaction provides rapid access to 1,2-vicinal diamines from terminal alkenes through a one-pot protocol. The transformation proceeds smoothly with excellent tolerance for a broad array of primary and secondary amines, affording the desired products in good yield and regioselectivity. The mechanism is proposed to proceed through a Rh(III)-catalyzed aziridination of alkenes with subsequent ring opening by primary or secondary amines.

As the first stage in the investigations of the mechanisms of action of carcinogenic lactones, the reactions of 4-hydroxypent-2-enoic acid lactone (II, R = CH3), which is a carcinogen, and of the non-carcinogenic 4-hydroxypent-3-enoic (III, R = CH3) and 4-hydroxypentanoic (IV, R = CH3) acid lactones with methylamine and benzylamine have been studied. As expected, the carcinogenic lactone reacts to give the Michael addition products, whereas both inactive lactones undergo ring opening by nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group. From the relative rates of reaction of the amines with the lactones it is concluded that the induction of tumors by II (R = CH3) does not involve alkylation of biological primary alkylamino groups. The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the products enable the different reaction pathways to be distinguished readily, and may provide the basis for rapid physicochemical screening of alkylation agents that are potential carcinogens.
