This work deals with the design and synthesis of 18 barbituric acid derivatives bearing 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid and cinnamic acid scaffolds to find potent anticancer agents. The target molecules were obtained through Knoevenagel condensation and acylation reaction. The cytotoxicity was assessed by the MTT assay. Flowcytometry was performed to determine the cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, ROS levels and the loss of MMP. The ratios of GSH/GSSG and the MDA levels were determined by using UV spectrophotometry. The results revealed that introducing substitutions (CF3, OCF3, F) on the meta- of the benzyl ring of barbituric acid derivatives led to a considerable increase in the antiproliferative activities compared with that of corresponding ortho- and para-substituted barbituric acid derivatives. Mechanism investigation implied that the 1c could increase the ROS and MDA level, decrease the ratio of GSH/GSSG and MMP, and lead to cell cycle arrest. Further research is needed for structural optimization to enhance hydrophilicity, thereby improve the biological activity of these compounds.

The development of an entirely crystallization-based synthetic route to the antimalarial BRD5018 is described, which assembles a structurally complex bicyclic azetidine scaffold adorned with five stereogenic centers without the need for any chromatographic separations. A diastereoselective glycine ester Claisen rearrangement, diastereomeric salt resolution, and diastereoselective iodo-lactonization are utilized to provide an efficient access to three contiguous stereogenic centers on an acyclic template with the desired relative and absolute configurations. A tandem aziridine ring-opening/azetidine ring-closure on the derived 2-amino-1,4-diol template was developed to efficiently establish the all-cis trisubstituted azetidine scaffold with the proper ancillary functionality for end-game maneuvers. d-Ribose-2,3-acetonide provided a conveniently differentiated vicinal syn-diol suitable for the planned reductive amination/periodate cleavage/Staudinger-aza-Wittig sequence to form the eight-membered diazocene ring. An early quantitative installation of the diaryl acetylene moiety via a Sonogashira coupling on an electronically matched methyl 4-bromocinnamate circumvented a low-yielding, late-stage reaction in the first-generation synthesis. Multiple crystalline intermediates enabled the complete removal of chromatography from the synthesis resulting in a substantially reduced cost and waste generation with enhanced throughput and quality control.

A Hf(IV) metal-organic framework (MOF) with di-amino functionalized linker was obtained as a crystalline solid with UiO-67 topology under solvothermal reaction conditions. The guest free form of Hf(IV) MOF (1′) was efficiently employed as a heterogeneous catalyst to synthesize cinnamic acid derivatives via Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction for the first time. The catalyst (1′) was efficiently active to directly achieve cinnamic acid from benzaldehyde and malonic acid. The solid retained its activity up to 6th cycle with no decay in its activity. The noticeable advantages of the catalyst are its milder reaction conditions, high yield, high stability, recyclable nature towards catalysis and wide substrate scope as well as shape-selective behaviour. The possible mechanism of the reaction was also studied thoroughly with suitable control experiments.
