Indazole is an important scaffold in medicinal chemistry. At present, the progress on synthetic methodologies has allowed the preparation of several new indazole derivatives with interesting pharmacological properties. Particularly, the antiprotozoal activity of indazole derivatives have been recently reported. Herein, a series of 22 indazole derivatives was synthesized and studied as antiprotozoals. The 2-phenyl-2H-indazole scaffold was accessed by a one-pot procedure, which includes a combination of ultrasound synthesis under neat conditions as well as Cadogan’s cyclization. Moreover, some compounds were derivatized to have an appropriate set to provide structure-activity relationships (SAR) information. Whereas the antiprotozoal activity of six of these compounds against E. histolytica, G. intestinalis, and T. vaginalis had been previously reported, the activity of the additional 16 compounds was evaluated against these same protozoa. The biological assays revealed structural features that favor the antiprotozoal activity against the three protozoans tested, e.g., electron withdrawing groups at the 2-phenyl ring. It is important to mention that the indazole derivatives possess strong antiprotozoal activity and are also characterized by a continuous SAR.

Coumarins (2 H-chromen-2-ones), also known as benzopyran-2-ones, are a family of naturally occurring heterocyclic ring systems that contain a lactone moiety. Coumarins exhibit a wide range of well-studied pharmacological properties. Over the last few decades, as a result of advances in diverse oriented synthetic routes, physicochemical properties and numerous biological activities, coumarins have become globally studied molecules from various synthetic and medicinal chemists. Recently, several bioactive coumarins bearing azetidinone and thiazolidinone moieties have been found to display a range of therapeutic characteristics, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. This review offers a brief description of the synthetic methodologies, known bioactivity and structure–activity relationships of coumarins bearing azetidinones and thiazolidinones.

Abstract:: Medicinal chemists have continuously shown interest in new curcuminoid derivatives, the diarylpentadienones, owing to their enhanced stability feature and easy preparation using a one-pot synthesis. Thus far, methods such as Claisen-Schmidt condensation and Julia-Kocienski olefination have been utilised for the synthesis of these compounds. Diarylpentadienones possess a high potential as a chemical source for designing and developing new and effective drugs for the treatment of diseases, including inflammation, cancer, and malaria. In brief, this review article focuses on the broad pharmacological applications and the summary of the structure-activity relationship of molecules which can be employed to further explore the structure of diarylpentadienone. The current methodological developments towards the synthesis of diarylpentadienones are also discussed.

Based on the fact that 25-OCH3-PPD, a natural ginsengenin isolated from the leaves of Panax ginseng, is a promising lead compound, novel 25-OCH3-PPD derivatives were synthesized to find more potent anti-tumor agents by a simple and facile synthetic method.

The novel selective D1 dopaminergic full agonists A-68930, A-77636 were discovered by the synthesis of molecules to probe the bioactive conformation of the partial agonist SKF-38393, by the use of this information to add D1 affinity and selectivity to a screening hit, and by traditional medicinal chemistry exploration of structure-activity relationships. The subsequent design of A-86929 and ABT-413 capitalized on these results, recently disclosed agonists, and traditional medicinal chemistry.
