N-phenylpropenoyl amino acid amides have been brominated using two alternative sonochemically activated green chemistry procedures. The first synthetic procedure has involved an ultrasound assisted bromination in an aqueous medium using ionic liquid as a catalyst of the reaction, whereas in the second one an in situ formation of Br2 via oxidation of HBr by H2O2 has been used. For comparison, the conventional?bromination procedure was also used. The newly brominated compounds were characterized by appropriate analytical techniques. A detailed NMR spectroscopic analysis and quantum chemical calculations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods have been used to define the stereochemistry of the products. The results confirmed the physicochemical identity and similar yields of the products obtained by the three synthetic procedures employed, and reveal the co-existence of two diastereoisomeric forms of the newly synthesized products. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the dibrominated amides were evaluated.

Adequate control of seizures remains an unmet need in epilepsy. In order to identify new anticonvulsant agents, a series of N-trans-cinnamoyl derivatives of selected aminoalkanols was synthetized. The compounds were obtained in the reaction of N-acylation carried out in a two-phase system. The substances were tested in animal models of seizures induced either electrically (maximal electroshock - MES; 6-Hz test) or chemically, by subcutaneous injection of pentetrazol (scPTZ). Neurotoxicity was determined by the rotarod test. Lipophilicity of the active compounds, expressed as RM0, was determined by reversed-phase thin layer chromatography and it ranged from 1.390 to 2.219. From among the tested series of compounds, R,S-(E)-N-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide (1) and R,S-(E)-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide (3) exhibited the best anticonvulsant activity. Compound 1, when administered to mice by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, showed the ED50 values of 86.6, 60.9, and 109.6 mg/kg in the MES, 6-Hz, and scPTZ tests, respectively. For compound 3, the ED50 values were found to be 47.1 mg/kg in MES and 77.1 mg/kg in scPTZ (mice, i.p.). The distances measured in crystals of compound 1 were: 7.99 ? - from the phenyl ring to the hydroxyl group in the amide moiety, 5.729 ? - from the phenyl ring to the amide group, and 3.112 - from the amide group to the hydroxyl group in the amide moiety. The reported compounds did not exhibit mutagenic potential when assayed in the Ames test. Compounds 1 and 3 did not affect viability and morphology of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2).
