RESUMEN
Prodrugs of dexibuprofen having ester moieties instead of free carboxylic acid which involves in gastrointestinal side effects have been synthesized. Dexibuprofen acid was condensed with different alcohols/phenols to afford the ester prodrugs. All of the synthesized prodrugs were characterized by their physical attributes, elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, and 13 C-NMR spectroscopy. The inâ vitro anti-inflammatory studies was done by chemiluminescence technique reflect prodrugs have been more potent, owing to the different chemical structures. Lipoxygenase enzyme inhibition assay was also assess and found compound DR7 with IC50 =19.8â µM), DR9 (IC50 =24.8â µM) and DR3 (IC50 =47.2â µM) as compared with Dexibuprofen (IC50 =156.6â µM). It was also evaluated for docking studies revealed that DR7 has found to be more potent anti-inflammatory against 5-LOX (3â V99) as well as analgesic against COX-II (5KIR) enzyme. Anti-oxidant activities were also performed, DR3 (86.9 %), DR5 (83.5 %), DR7 (93.9 %) and DR9 (87.4 %) were found to be more anti-oxidant as compared to (2S)-2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]propanoic acid (52.7 %).

Background: Derivatization has been tremendously utilized in the field of drug discovery for optimizing the pharmacological properties and improving safety, efficacy and selectivity. Methodology: Schiff's bases (AD1-AD11) are synthesized through amantadine condensation with different aldehydes and ketones. Fourier transform infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, TLC, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis, in silico studies, molecular docking and antiviral activity through hemagglutinin test were performed for evaluation of new compounds. Results: AD2, 3 and 9-11 showed greater antiviral activity than the parent drug. Among all derivatives, AD2 and AD3 exhibited good potential against α-amylase while AD7 and AD10 showed stronger inhibition against α-glucosidase. Conclusion: So, it is concluded that the most potent derivatives can be used as lead compounds in novel drug design of antiviral antidiabetic agents.

RESUMEN
Background: Quercetin being antioxidant and antiproliferative agent acts by inhibiting CDK2, with an increase in cancer prevalence there is a need to profile quercetin derivatives as CDK2 inhibitors. Materials & method: Schiff bases of quercetin were synthesized as cytotoxic agents against the MCF7 cell line. FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, CHNS/O analysis were employed along with in vivo and in silico activities. Results & conclusion: 2q, 4q, 8q and 9q derivatives have maximum cytotoxic effect with IC50 values 39.7 ± 0.7, 36.65 ± 0.25, 35.49 ± 0.21 and 36.99 ± 0.45, respectively. Molecular docking also confirmed these results 8q has the highest binding potential of -9.165 KJ/mole making it a potent inhibitor of CDK2. These derivatives can be used as lead compounds as potent CDK2 inhibitors.

RESUMEN
Background: DNA gyrase and urease enzymes are important targets for the treatment of gastroenteritis, appendicitis, tuberculosis, urinary tract infections and Crohn's disease. Materials & methods: Esterification of norfloxacin was performed to enhance DNA gyrase and urease enzyme inhibition potential. Structure elucidation and chemical characterization were done through spectral (1H NMR, Fourier transform IR, 13C NMR) and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur analysis along with molecular docking. Results & conclusion: The majority of derivatives exhibited significant results but the 3e derivative showed maximum bactericidal, DPPH scavenging (96%), DNA gyrase and urease enzyme inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.15 ± 0.24 and 1.14 ± 0.11 µM respectively which was further supported by molecular docking studies. So, the active derivatives can serve as a lead compound for the treatment of various pathological conditions.
