PTSA-induced synthesis, in silico and nano study of novel ethylquinolin-thiazolo-triazole in cervical cancer.

Aim: p-Toluenesulfonic acid-(PTSA) and grinding-induced novel synthesis of ethylquinolin-thiazolo-triazole derivatives was performed using green chemistry. Materials & methods: Development of a nanoconjugate drug-delivery system of ethylquinolin-thiazolo-triazole was carried out with D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) and the formulation was further characterized by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and in vitro drug release assay. The effect of 3a nanoparticles was assessed against a cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) through the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and the effect on apoptosis was determined. Results & discussion: The 3a nanoparticles triggered the apoptotic mode of cell death after increasing the intracellular reactive oxygen level by enhancing cellular uptake of micelles. Furthermore, in silico studies revealed higher absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity properties and bioavailability of the enzyme tyrosine protein kinase. Conclusion: The 3a nanoparticles enhanced the therapeutic potential and have higher potential for targeted drug delivery against cervical cancer.

Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinophanes: convenient synthesis of a new class of cyclophane and X-ray structure of the first representative.

A convenient synthesis of a new class of novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinophanes (four products, 41%), a new class of cyclophane, and X-ray structure of the first dissymmetrical [3.4]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinophane (22%) are reported for the first time. The conformation of major syn product 6b is stabilized by weak pi-pi and O...Ar interactions.

Intermolecular stacking in pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based pentamethylene-linked flexible molecules.

The crystal structures of 1-[5-[4,6-bis(methylsulfanyl)-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]pentyl]-6-methylsulfanyl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, C(22)H(29)N(9)S(3), and 6-methylsulfanyl-1-[5-[6-methylsulfanyl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]pentyl]-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, C(25)H(34)N(10)S(2), which differ in having either a pyrrolidine substituent or a methylsulfanyl group, show intermolecular stacking due to aromatic pi-pi interactions between the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine rings.
