Chemotherapy of leishmaniasis part X: Synthesis and bioevaluation of novel terpenyl heterocycles
摘要:
Some novel alpha and beta ionone based chalcones and their dihydropyrazolidines/pyrazolidines have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo antileishmanial activities against Leishmania donovani. Amongest all, one compound (4d) exhibited significant in vitro activity against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania donovani with IC50 values of 7.49 mu M and was found promising as compared to reference drug, miltefosine. On the basis of good Selectivity Index (S.I.), the compound was further tested for its in vivo response against Leishmania donovani/hamster model and has shown significant inhibition of parasite multiplication (81%). The present study has helped us in identifying a new lead that could be exploited as a potential antileishmanial agent. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Photochemical formation and decomposition of 8-[β-arylethenyl]-2,2,6-trimethyl-7,9,10-trioxa-tricyclo[6.2.2.01,6]dodec-11-ene to novel 6-hydroxy-1,7,7-trimethyl-2-oxa-bicyclo[4.4.0]dec-4-en-3-one in the presence of oxygen

Irradiation of (E,E)-arylidene-β-ionones in the presence of oxygen leads to the formation of 8-[β-arylethenyl]-2,2,6-trimethyl-7,9,10-trioxa-tricyclo[6.2.2.01,6]dodec-11-enes (3). However, prolonged irradiation in the presence of oxygen leads to their conversion to 6-hydroxy-1,7,7-trimethyl-2-oxa-bicyclo[4.4.0]dec-4-en-3-one (4), apparently proceeding through addition of oxygen to the side chain π-bond
