library of N-aroyl-N′-arylthioureas was accomplished successfully. These analogues (1–38) were synthesized under identical set of conditions. It has been observed that the reaction time was drastically reduced from 8 to 12 h for conventional methods to only 10–15 mins. Products obtained were more than 98% pure, as characterized by elemental analysis along with FT-IR and 1H, 13CNMR. The solid-phase structural
The synthesis of several 2-(substituted fluorobenzoylimino)-3-(substituted fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolines (2a–t) was carried out by base-catalyzed cyclization of corresponding 1-(fluorobenzoyl)-3-(fluorophenyl)thioureas (1a–t) with 2-bromoacetone in aqueous medium. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral and elemental analysis. All synthesized compounds were evaluated
Synthesis of a variety of new1-(isomeric fluorobenzoyl)-3-(isomeric fluorophenyl)thioureas (1a–t) was accomplished in two steps. The synthetic route involves the reaction of equimolar quantities of isomeric fluorobenzoyl chlorides with potassium thiocyanate in anhydrous acetone to afford the corresponding isothiocyantes in situ, followed by treatment with equimolar quantities of isomeric fluoroanilines
observed between the enzyme inhibition profile and cytotoxic data. The compounds exhibiting maximum anticancer potential also induced maximum apoptosis in the respective cell lines. Furthermore, the DNAinteractionstudies exhibited the non-covalent mode of interaction with the herring sperm-DNA. Moleculardockingstudies also supported the in vitro inhibitory activity of potent compounds. Our findings
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition is thought to be
an encouraging approach towards the therapy of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The current paper targets
to give a concise information of mono and dihalo- substituted thioureas similarity with anti-AD potential.
The present results represent evaluation of cholinesterase inhibitory potential for halogenated
thioureas derivatives. Compound 1t was constituted to be highly potent inhibitor with Ki value 0.12 ± 0.05 µM against
AChE, while 1b was most the active inhibitor for BChE with Ki value of 0.03 ± 0.001 µM. Molecular docking simulations
were performed using the homology models of both cholinesterases in order to explore the plausible binding modes of
synthesized compounds.
