Some furan/thiophene-2-carboxamide derivatives (1–3) were prepared from acyl chlorides and heterocyclic amine derivatives with good yields, employing synthetic route and their chemical structures were confirmed using different spectroscopic methods including IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Three different enzyme inhibition effect tests as urease, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibiting activities, were applied to these compounds. The biological evaluation results clearly showed that the compound 1 showed approximately 9.8-fold more activity against urease enzyme than thiourea standard while the compound 3 showed approximately 4.2-fold more activity against BChE enzyme than galantamine standard. The molecular interaction for each of the target compounds with the active sites of the urease, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes was investigated by molecular insertion simulations and the results were confirmed the experimental findings. The results also show that compounds such as 1 and 3 carrying thiophene/furan carbocamide moieties could be used promising structures in the development of more potent pharmaceutical agents in the future.

We performed a series of novel benzamide compounds which were synthesized starting from 2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid or 3-acetoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid and amine derivatives. All the obtained products were purified, and the analysis of these products was determined with IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopic, and elemental methods. The in vitro antioxidant activity of all the compounds was determined by total antioxidant, free radical scavenging, and metal chelating activity. Some of synthesized compounds showed more effective total antioxidant, free radical scavenging, and metal chelating activity compared with standards. One of the benzamide compounds has been shown to exhibit effective metal chelate activity. The new compounds were determined in vitro antibacterial activity against three gram-positive bacteria and three gram-negative bacteria and compared with two control drugs. Thus, by conducting in vivo biochemical tests of effective amides, researches can be carried out in different fields of application.
