Synthesis of 1,3,5-Triazepines and Benzo[f][1,3,5]triazepines and Their Biological Activity: Recent Advances and New Approaches.

This review article discusses the recent progress in synthesizing seven-membered ring 1,3,5-triazepine and benzo[f][1,3,5]triazepine derivatives. These derivatives can be either unsaturated, saturated, fused, or separated. This review covers strategies and procedures developed over the past two decades, including cyclo-condensation, cyclization, methylation, chlorination, alkylation, addition, cross-coupling, ring expansions, and ring-closing metathesis. This review discusses the synthesis of 1,3,5-triazepine derivatives using nucleophilic or electrophilic substitution reactions with various reagents such as o-phenylenediamine, 2-aminobenzamide, isothiocyanates, pyrazoles, thiazoles, oxadiazoles, oxadiazepines, and hydrazonoyl chloride. This article systematically presents new approaches and techniques for preparing these compounds. It also highlights the biological importance of benzo[f][1,3,5]triazepine derivatives, which have been used as drugs for treating nervous system diseases. This review aims to provide researchers with the necessary information to create and develop new derivatives of these compounds as quickly as possible.

Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic activity of naturally isolated naringin-metal complexes.

High-purity naringin was isolated from the fruit peels of Citrus maxima and characterized by various spectroscopic methods like UV and NMR. The isolated compound ligand (HL) was used as ligand-metal complexes synthesis after using Ag (I), Y (III) and Ru (III) metals. These ligand-metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-VIS, TGA, molar conductance and magnetic properties. Cytotoxic activity of the isolated naringin and its metal complexes were investigated against two human cancer cell lines namely, white breast Adenocarcinoma (MCF7) and Lung carcinoma (A549) using cell viability assay. Transition metal increased the cytotoxic activity of naringin when they were conjugated. LC50 of Ag ligand complex demonstrated strong cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and A549 cell line that was found higher active more than three and four times the strength, respectively when compared to LC50 of Adriamycin. While LC50 of Adriamycin compound was slightly more active only about 30% and twice the strength of the Ru ligand complex against MCF-7 and A549 cell line, respectively.
