Chagas disease is a neglected disease, being one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases. In view of the severity of this pathology, this work describes the synthesis of new thiosemicarbazones derived from chalcones and dibenzalacetones as potential drugs for the treatment of this disease. The structures of all compounds were elucidated by infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C NMR) spectroscopies. The chalcone derived thiosemicarbazones 10-14 were tested against the intracellular amastigote form of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and had their cytotoxicity assessed using LLC-MK2 cells. The compound 10 (IC50 = 12.25 μM) presented the best activity when compared with the standard drug benznidazole (IC50 = 5.64 μM).

A total of fourteen pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized through cyclo-condensation reactions by chalcone derivatives with different types of semicarbazide. These compounds were characterized by IR, 1D-NMR (1H, 13C and Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer-DEPT-135) and 2D-NMR (COSY, HSQC and HMBC) as well as mass spectroscopy analysis (HRMS). The synthesized compounds were tested for their antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra in vitro. Based on this activity, compound 4a showed the most potent inhibitory activity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 17 μM. In addition, six other synthesized compounds, 5a and 5c–5g, exhibited moderate activity, with MIC ranges between 60 μM to 140 μM. Compound 4a showed good bactericidal activity with a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) value of 34 μM against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. Molecular docking studies for compound 4a on alpha-sterol demethylase was done to understand and explore ligand– receptor interactions, and to hypothesize potential refinements for the compound.

The [2 + 2] photodimerization of chalcones, cinnamates and cinnamamides can be effectively catalyzed by heteroleptic copper(I) complexes. The reactions were carried out under mild reaction conditions and the products were obtained in 20–72% yield under visible light irradiation. The copper-based photocatalyst comprised of the rigid phenanthroline ligand with substituents at the 2,9-positions and the 4,7-positions showed high activity in the photodimerization via an energy transfer pathway.
