A new series of benzene and isoquinoline sulfonamide derivatives were synthesized by nucleophilicdisplacement reaction on benzene and isoquinoline sulfonyl chlorides by substituted amines (primary and secondary). The title compounds were evaluated for antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro and showed MIC in the range of 2-50 microg/mL.
Design, synthesis, pharmacological and in silico screening of disubstituted-piperazine derivatives as selective and reversible MAO-A inhibitors for treatment of depression
Monoamine oxidase-A inhibitors (MAO-AIs) are potential drug candidates for the treatment of depression. In the present study, a series of substituted benzenesulfonyl piperazine (NP1-NP16) derivatives was synthesized and screened for their MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitory activity using the Amplex Red assay. Most of the synthesized compounds were found to show selective inhibition of MAO-A isoform. Compounds
