    WOS: 000345518000007PubMed ID: 24456294The synthesis of some new pyrazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives and investigation of their anticancer activities were aimed in this work. Thus, 2-acetylbenzimidazole was reacted with appropriate alpha-bromoacetophenones and potassium carbonate in acetone to give 2-(2-acetyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-1-phenylethanone derivatives (3a-d). These diketone compounds were reacted with varied benzylamines in acetic acid to obtain 2-benzyl-1-methylidene-3-aryl-1,2-dihydropyrazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives (4a-t). The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated by using IR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, MS spectral data and elemental analyses results. Anticancer activities of the selected compounds were investigated in National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD. 3c and 4n showed remarkable anticancer activity comparing with standard drugs, melphalan and cisplatin

    Background: Due to multi-drug, extended-drug, and pandrug resistance phenotypes, bacterial resistance to antibiotics and fungal infections are a general health issue. Particulary, increase of fungal infections due to secondary cause of human diseases have been observed. An extensive variety of benzimidazole derivatives have been characterized for their chemotherapeutic significance. Benzimidazole derivatives have received important attention because of pharmacological significance during current years, especially antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antitubercular, antioxidant, anti-Alzheimer's disease and antihypertension activities. Methods: Some N-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-mercaptoacetamide derivatives (2a-h) were synthesised and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. The title compounds were gained by reacting N-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-chloroacetamide with some substituted 2-mercapto heterocyclic rings. The synthesised compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against C. albicans (ATCC 24433), C. krusei (ATCC 6258), C. glabrata (ATCC90030), C. parapsilosis (ATCC 22019), E. coli (ATCC 25922), E. coli (ATCC 35218), E. feacalis (ATCC 51299), E. feacalis (ATCC 29212), S. aureus (ATCC 25923), K. pneumoniae (ATCC 700603), P. aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Results: The compounds showed high antifungal activity when compared with standard drug ketoconazole. In addition, all compounds (MIC 100 µg/mL) showed inhibitor activity against P. aeruginosa at two fold concentration of chloramphenicol (MIC 50 µg/mL). Also, compounds 2a, 2c and 2e (MIC: 50 µg/mL) have equal effect against E. coli (ATCC 35218) and more effective than other compounds (MIC of chloramphenicol: 100 µg/mL). Conclusıon: All compounds showed notable activity. Compounds have determined to possess higher antifungal activity than antibacterial activity. Additionally, compounds 2a with 1-methyltetrazole, 2c with benzothiazole and 2e with 6-chlorobenzothiazole moieties were found as the most active compounds.</jats:sec

    No full text
    WOS: 000405935700007Background: Compounds bearing ortho-hydroxy N-acyl hydrazone moiety have been reported with high anticancer activity acting by increasing the enzymatic activity of procaspase-3 in cancer cells and therefore inducing apoptosis in some tumour models. Methods: Considering this subunit's proclivity for anticancer activity we have synthesized novel N'-arylidene-2-[(4-nitrophenyl) piperazin-1-yl] acetohydrazide derivatives (3a-3n) including N-acyl hydrazone moiety with a well-known three step synthetic procedure. The antiproliferative activity of the compounds were investigated using MTT method and xCELLigence real time cell analysis system against NIH/3T3 (Mouse embryo fibroblast cell line) as healthy cell line and A549 (Human lung adenocarcinoma ephitelial cell line) as tumour cell line. Results and Conclusion: The IC50 values of final compounds were determined for 24h and 48h incubation periods. As a second stage, flow cytometric analysis was performed for selected highly active compounds (3g, 3i, 3j, 3n) on A549 cell line. Compound 3i bearing 3-chlorophenyl moiety was detected to cause apoptosis in a ratio of 54.7 %

    WOS: 000412336400010Background: In this study, 2-(substituted-sulfanyl)-N, N-dicyclohexylacetamide derivatives (2a-2g) and 2-(dicyclohexylamino)-2-oxoethyl-1-substituted carbodithioate derivatives (2h-2m) were synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial activity. Methods: Newly synthesized compounds were screened against two gram negative bacteria (S. typhimurium and E. coli), three gram positive bacteria (S. aureus, B. cereus and L. monocytogenes), four Candida species, four Aspergillus spp. and three Penicillium spp. Among them (2a-2m), compounds 2i (2-(dicyclohexylamino)-2-oxoethyl-thiomorpholine-4-carbodithioate) and 2k (2( dicyclohexylamino)-2-oxoethyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl) piperazine-1-carbodithioate) were detected to have higher inhibitory effect than other compounds. Results and Conclusion: Minumum inhibitor concentrations (MICs) of the compounds were determined between the range of 97.5-390 mu g/mL. Additionally, parameters determined that some physicochemical and toxic properties were predicted using computational methods

    International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (ICNAAM) -- SEP 19-25, 2016 -- Rhodes, GREECEIn this paper, we study with some graph descriptors also called topological indices. These descriptors are useful in determination of some properties of chemical structures and preferred to some earlier descriptors as they are more practical. Especially the first and second Zagreb indices together with the first and second multiplicative Zagreb indices are considered and they are calculated in terms of the smallest and largest vertex degrees and vertex number for some well-known classes of graphs.Uludag UniversityUludag University [F-2015/17, F-2015/23]; Selcuk UniversitySelcuk UniversityThe first author was supported by the Research Fund of Uludag University project no: F-2015/17, F-2015/23.
