Aryl semicarbazide derivatives are reported to possess anticonvulsant activity. On the other hand unsubstituted and small substituents (less than 3 carbon atom) containing cyclohexanones prevented both pentylenetetrazole and MES induced seizures. Similarly cycloheptanone fused with benzodiazepine and furan produced anticonvulsant compounds. Therefore looking into the above facts in the present study, we have synthesized 12 derivatives of 1-cyclohexylidine/cycloheptylidine-4-substitued semicarbazide derivatives and screened them for anticonvulsant activity. The synthesis of compounds was achieved as follows: The various para substituted (H, CH3, F,Cl,Br, I) anilines were converted to aryl ureas by reacting with sodium cyanate in the presence of glacial acetic acid. These aryl ureas and aryl semicarbazides were synthesized by allowing them to react with hydrazine hydrate. Finally the aryl semicarbazides were condensed with cyclohexanone/ cycloheptanone in the presence of sodium acetate to give title compounds. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticonvulsant activity by MES method using carbamazepine as standard and it was observed that all the compounds possess anticonvulsant activity comparable to carbamazepine. Carbamazepine had shown the abolition in the hind limb extensor tonic convulsion after 2 sec. whereas few compounds i.e. 1-cyclohexylidine-4-(4-fluorophenyl) semicarbazide, 1-cycloheptylidine-4-(4- fluorophenyl) semi-carbazide and 1-cycloheptylidine-4-phenylsemicarbazide were more active than standard. Overall it was found that cycloheptyl containing compounds were more active than cyclohexyl containing compounds. The unsubstitued compounds were more active than halo derivatives i.e. electron withdrawing groups, and halo compounds were more active than methyl derivatives i.e. electron donating group (CH3). The order of activity for cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone derivatives is as follows: H >F >Cl >Br >I >CH3. Among the halo derivatives, the activity decreased with increasing molecular weight of halo substituents.

The synthesis of 1H-3-aryl-7-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles (2) was carried out by cyclization of 1H-5-arylidenehydrazino-4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-pyrazoles (1) in the presence of bromine using glacial acetic acid as solvent and sodium acetate as base. The new nine obtained compounds were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Bismuth triarenesulphinates, Bi(02SR)3 [R = Ph, p-MeC6H4, p-ClC6H4, 2,4,6-(Me2CH)3C6H2, and p-MeCONHC6H4], have been prepared by reaction of bismuth triacetate with the appropriate arenesulphinio acids in glacial acetic acid, and the first two compounds have also been obtained by reaction of triphenyl-bismuth with the appropriate mercuric arenesulphinates. The sulphur-oxygen stretching frequencies of the bismuth sulphinates are indicative of O-sulphinate coordination, and the compounds are considered to be polymeric with bridging O-sulphinate groups and six-coordinate bismuth. Thermal decomposition of Bi(O2SR)3 (R = Ph, p-MeC6H4, or p-CIC6H4) under vacuum gave the corresponding triarylbismuth compounds and sulphur dioxide, the preparation of tri-p-chlorophenylbismuth being accompanied by formation of di-p-chlorophenyl sulphone and S-p-chlorophenyl p-chlorobenzenethiosulphonate. Pyrolysis of the other triarenesulphinates did not yield organobismuth compounds.

The two isomeric N-methyl derivatives of murexine have been synthesised by independent routes and shown to be different from an 'N- methylmurexine' reportedly isolated from the mollusc Nucella emarginata. 1H n.m.r. studies have shown a marked difference in the extent of binding to paramagnetic ions of the two N-methyl derivatives of murexine in water while pharmacological results show substantially different pharmacological activities of the two isomers. Both results can be rationalized in terms of the observed activities being associated with the presence of one or the other of the tautomeric forms of the imidazole ring.

The article presents a modified method for the synthesis of 2-substituted 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one and the predict of their anti-inflammatory activity. The proposed method for obtaining tetrahydrothienopyrimidine derivatives is preparatively effective and simple. Their synthesis was carried out by heterocyclization of azomethine derivatives of 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxamide in the medium of glacial acetic acid with the catalytic addition of dimethyl sulfoxide. Preliminary prognosis of anti-inflammatory activity in silico method allowed us to identify the most promising compounds. Of these, the 4b structure containing a 2-hydroxyphenyl fragment in the second position of pyrimidine-4(3H)-one may be of the greatest interest. It seems appropriate to further study the spectrum of biological activity of the studied compounds.

Objective: Many derivatives of pyrimidine are known for the broad-spectrum biological activities such as antimicrobial, antitumor, antibacterial, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activity. Chalcones with an enone group show potent pharmacological activities such as antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antimalarial activity. A series of pyrimidines from chalcones have been synthesized and screened for anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity studies.Methods: Chalcones [1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-substituted-phenylprop-2-en-1-one] were synthesized from various substituted aldehydes with 4-nitroacetophenone and cyclized with urea and glacial acetic acid to give pyrimidine derivatives [4-(4-nitrophenyl)-6-substituted-phenylpyrimidin-2-ol].Results: Anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity studies revealed that some of the synthesized compounds have shown significant activity.Conclusion: The observed results proved that pyrimidines are found to be interesting lead molecules for the synthesis of anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic agents

Rate curves have been determined for the reaction of ammonium nitrate with formaldehyde in glacial acetic acid solution at 25 °C., 35 °C., 45 °C., and 55 °C. over a range of Initial mole ratios (formaldehyde: ammonia) of 0.75:1 to 9.0:1. Data obtained at 25 °C. show a definite induction period in the formation of hexamine. The length of the induction period is not changed by increasing ammonium nitrate concentrations above the theoretical (1.5:1), but may be appreciably shortened by initial additions of excess formaldehyde or of sodium acetate. From 35 °C. upward, the induction period is not apparent. The order of the reaction with respect to formaldehyde has been determined from initial rate data, and an activation energy calculated. The reactions in general appear analogous to those found in slightly acid aqueous systems.

4-(2-Nitrobenzylidene)-2-pyrazolin-5-ones (I) were best prepared by heating o-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2-pyrazolin-5-ones in acetic anhydride containing fused sodium acetate (cf. Erlenmeyer azlactone synthesis). Pyrazolones of type I were reductively cyclized with cyclohexene and palladium–charcoal, and gave 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-9-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinolines (II) which, as expected, were amphoteric compounds. Of the three other methods of reduction used in this study, two (zinc and acetic acid; sodium borohydride and palladium–charcoal) were capable of producing pyrazoloquinolines, but were less reliable. The other method employed (hydrazine hydrate and palladium–charcoal) caused degradation of the pyrazolone molecule in the two cases examined, and in both, bis(2-aminobenzylidene) hydrazine (V) was the reduction product isolated.

Treatment of (3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetic acid (1a) with sodium hydroxide yields the corresponding lactam, i.e. (3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetic acid, together with the α,β-unsaturated acid, 3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazine-Δ2,α-acetic acid. The 6-methyl- and 6-bromo-derivatives of 1a behaved similarly when reacted with sodium hydroxide but when 3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazine was so treated a more complex reaction occurred.Methyl (6-bromo-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetate was also treated with hydrochloric acid. The two products isolated were (6-bromo-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetic acid and (6-bromo-7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetic acid.The action of hydrochloric acid on 3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazine also gave two products. One was the corresponding lactam; the other was unexpected and has been tentatively identified as bis[2-(3,4-dihydro-7-methyl-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzothiazine].

SUMMARYAdult females from 19 strains of mice were injected with either coumarin or 7-ethoxycoumarin and the urinary excretion of the umbelliferone produced by the metabolism of these substances was measured. With the exception of C57L the strains fell into three classes as follows: high metabolizers (DBA/1 and DBA/2), medium metabolizers (CBA, 129/Rr, NZB and NZW) and low metabolizers (the other 12 strains). The difference in metabolizing ability between the medium group and the low group of strains was also evident when the 4-methyl derivatives of the same two substances were used. However with the 4-methyl derivatives there was no difference in metabolizing ability between the medium group and the high group. The results are interpreted as evidence that the gene Coh on chromosome 7 comprises two closely linked genes which determine cytochrome P-450 isozymes with different substrate specificities.
