our search for potential antiamoebic agents from folklore Indian medicinal plants, we found that the benzene and ethyl acetate extracts from the root bark of Adina cordifolia exhibited strong antiamoebic activity with IC50 values of 2.92 and 2.50 μg/ml, respectively. Bioassay-guided fractionation of benzene and ethyl acetate extracts led to the isolation of 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone 1) and

condition led to the formation of new compounds, thiocarbamoyl bis-pyrazoline derivatives. The structure of the compounds were elucidated by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral data and thermogravimetric analysis, and their purities were confirmed by elemental analyses. The antiamoebic activity of these complexes was evaluated by microdilution method against HM1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica
在碱性条件下,用N-4取代的硫代氨基脲将查尔酮环化,导致形成新的化合物硫代氨基甲酰基双吡唑啉衍生物。通过UV,IR,1 H NMR,13 C NMR和ESI-MS光谱数据以及热重分析阐明了化合物的结构,并通过元素分析证实了其纯度。这些复合物的antiamoebic活性通过对微量稀释法评估HM1:IMSS的应变阿米巴并将结果与标准药物甲硝唑进行比较。结构-活性关系表明,在硫代氨基甲酰基上具有芳香取代基的化合物比具有环状基团的化合物更具活性。但是,从IC 50值可以清楚地看出,化合物15和20具有更高的活性,并且两者都显示出结构相似性,其中吸电子基团连接在苯环上。MTT分析表明所有化合物对人肾上皮细胞系无毒。

Unusual reaction proceeding via the electrophilic activation of nitroalkanes in the presence of polyphosphoric acid has been discovered. Subsequent nucleophilic attack with semicarbazides or thiosemicarbazides allows to access 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, respectively.
Described herein are thiosemicarbazone compounds and their use in therapy. More particularly, described herein a selection of dipyridyl thiosemicarbazone compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing those compounds, and methods of treating cancer comprising administering those compounds and compositions.
Thirty new pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized by cyclization of Mannich bases with thiosemicarbazides being substituted by different cyclic and aromatic amines. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses, UV, IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR and ESI-MS spectral data. The in vitro antiamoebic activity was evaluated against Entamoeba histolytica in comparison with metronidazole used as reference substance. Out of the 30 compounds screened for antiamoebic activity, 10 (5, 6, 15, 18, 25-30) were found to be better inhibitors of E. histolytica since they showed lesser IC50 values than metronidazole. The preliminary results indicated that the presence of 3-chloro or 3-bromo substituent on the phenyl ring at position 3 of the pyrazoline ring enhanced the antiamoebic activity as compared to unsubstituted phenyl ring. The study suggests that the preliminary activity of these compounds may further be explored for the development of new targets for amoebiasis. (C) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
