Evaluation of in vitro antifungal activity of N-benzylsalicylamide derivatives

Bis-amide transition metal complexes: isomerism and DNA interaction study

A quatridentate bis-amide ligand, N,N'-propylenebis(salicylamide) H2pbs, and its transition metal complexes [M(pbs)(H2O)2], where M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, NMR, Mass, EPR, molar conductivity, magnetic moment values and thermal analysis. The NMR spectrum of ligand evidences the E/Z isomerism. All the evidences reveal that the metal ions adopt octahedral geometry with metal:ligand:solvent ratio 1:1:2. The conductivity measurements exhibit that the complexes are non-electrolytes. DNA binding properties of these complexes have been explored by UV-Vis and cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that these complexes are good intercalators.

The synthesis and characterization of some novel 5-chloro-2-(substituted alkoxy)-N-phenylbenzamide derivatives

To obtain biologically active compounds, the synthesis of some new derivatives with an o-hydroxybenzamide structure was performed. The ethyl esters 4-6 were obtained by the reaction of 5-chloro-2-hydroxy-N-phenylbenzamide and chloro-substituted acid ethyl esters 1-3 in ethyl methyl ketone. The obtained ethyl esters were condensed with hydrazine yielding the hydrazides 7-8. The hydrazones 11-14 were obtained by the reaction of the hydrazides and the chloro-substituted benzaldehydes 9-10. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS and elemental analyses.

The synthesis and characterization of some ortho-substituted phenoxyalkanoic acids and their derivatives

The synthesis of 2-phenoxyalkanoic acids (ethanoic, propanoic, butanoic) was realized by the reaction of ortho-hydroxybenzamide respectively N-phenyl-o-hydroxybenzamide with ?-halogenated acids in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. 2-[o-(carbamoyl)phenoxy]-2-methyl- and 2-[o-(phenylcarbamoyl)phenoxy]-2-methyl- propanoic acids were obtained by reaction of the appropriate amide with acetone, chloroform and sodium hydroxide. Ethyl esters of 2-phenoxyalkanoic acids were obtained by the reaction of the amide with ethyl esters of ?-halogenated acids in different reaction media. Starting from the ethyl esters of 2-[2-(N-phenylcarbamoyl) phenoxy]alkanoic acids with hydrazine 2-[2-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)phenoxy]alkanoic acids hydrazides were obtained, which are considered key intermediates for the synthesis of several series of new compounds. Schiff bases and N-imido-derivatives were obtained by condensation of hydrazide with substituted aromatic aldehydes respectively maleic anhydride. The synthesized compounds were characterized by physico-chemical methods (FTIR, NMR and mass spectrometry). .
