Synthesis, anticholinesterase activity and molecular modeling studies of novel carvacrol-substituted amide derivatives

In the present study, 23 novel carvacrol derivatives involving the amide moiety as a linker between the alkyl chains and/or the heterocycle nucleus were synthesized and tested in vitro as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhib

Betulin-derived compounds as inhibitors of alphavirus replication

This paper describes inhibition of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) replication by synthetic derivatives of naturally occurring triterpenoid betulin (1). Chemical modifications were made to OH groups at C-3 and C-28 and to the C-20-C-29 double bond. A set of heterocyclic betulin derivatives was also assayed. A free or acetylated OH group at C-3 was identified as an important structural contributor for anti-SFV activity, 3,28-di-O-acetylbetulin (4) being the most potent derivative (IC50 value 9.1 μM). Betulinic acid (13), 28-O-tetrahydropyranylbetulin (17), and a triazolidine derivative (41) were also shown to inhibit Sindbis virus, with IC50 values of 0.5, 1.9, and 6.1 μM, respectively. The latter three compounds also had significant synergistic effects against SFV when combined with 3′-amino-3′-deoxyadenosine. In contrast to previous work on other viruses, the antiviral activity of 13 was mapped to take place in virus replication phase. The efficacy was also shown to be independent of external guanosine supplementation.

Synthesis of biologically active carvacrol compounds using different solvents and supports

Natural monoterpenoids have been documented for their acute toxicity and repellent, antifeedent, reproduction inhibitory, and insecticidal actions. The present work aims to derive a variety of ether and ester compounds using polymer-supported reactions from the polymer-supported carvacrol anion was reacted with alkyl halides and acid chlorides to afford carvacryl ethers and esters, respectively. Furthermore, a special study on the effect of different solvents and supports revealed that Amberlite IRA 400 (chloride form) was found to be the best polymer support and acetone among the solvents.
