Novel 4,5-Dihydrothiazole-Phenylpiperazine Derivatives: Synthesis, Docking Studies and Pharmacological Evaluation as Serotonergic Agents. [PDF]
The synthesis of a new series of 4,5‐dihydrothiazol‐2‐ylphenylpiperazine derivatives as serotoninergic ligands is described and tested for their affinity toward 5‐HT1A, 5‐HT2A,and 5‐HT2C and selected for further in vivo assays to determine their functional activity. The pharmacological studies highlight that among the developed derivatives, FG‐7 and FG‐

Easy access to several classes of heterocyclic compounds is provided by reacting 2‐cyanobenzaldehyde or 2‐acylbenzonitriles with a range of nucleophiles under mild conditions through divergent cascade reactions in an asymmetric way. Abstract 2‐Cyanobenzaldehye (also called 2‐formylbenzonitrile) and related 2‐acylbenzonitriles belong to a class of ...

Tackling tuberculosis resistance: A hit optimization campaign was performed to optimize a series of previously identified benzofuroxan derivatives. By switching benzofuroxan with the imidazo[2,1‐b][1,3]oxazine subunit, we discovered a new series of leads with superior activity in inhibiting MDR‐Mtb in vitro and intramacrophage mycobacterial growth ...
