AbstractDuring the last decade quinazolinones derivatives have been shown to be useful building blocks for the synthesis of a variety of functionalized polynuclear heterocyclic systems. This review presents the recent systematic and comprehensive literature survey of fused quinazolinones synthesis. These fused heterocycles are classified according to the ring volume starting from three membered up to seven membered cycles and divided according to the number of heteroatoms and type or position of these heteroatoms.

The treatment of N-Phenylmorpholine-4-carbothioamide (HPMCT) with bivalent metal ions in a 2:1 mol ratio without a base present affords [MCl2(κ1S-HPMCT)2] {M = Cu(1), Pd(2), Pt(3), and Hg(4)} in a good yield. Furthermore, the reaction of two equivalents of HPMCT and one equivalent of bivalent metal ions in the presence of Et3N has afforded [M(κ2S,N-PMCT)2] {M = Ni(5), Cu(6), Pd(7), Pt(8), Zn(9), Cd(10), and Hg(11)}. Infrared, 1H, 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance molar conductivity, and elemental analysis were used to characterize the synthesized complexes. The results suggest that HPMCT is bonded as monodentate via an S atom in Complexes (1–4), whereas linkage as a bidentate chelating ligand via S and N atoms gives two chelate rings. Moreover, the synthesized ligand and the complexes were screened for antibacterial activity, which displayed that the very best antibacterial activities for Complexes (1), (6), and (3). In addition, the cytotoxic activity of the HPMCT ligand, [PdCl2(HPMCT)2] (2), and [PtCl2(HPMCT)2] (3) were screened on breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7), and Complex (3) reveals the most promising activity with an IC50 value 12.72 ± 0.4 μM. Using the B3LYP method and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets for the ligand and the SDD basis set for the central metal, the synthesized complexes utilizing the prepared ligand were optimized. Various quantum parameters such as hardness, electron affinity, dipole moment, vibrational frequencies, and ionization energy for the ligand and its complexes have been calculated. In general, a favorable agreement was found between the experimental results and the obtained theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chitosan is produced by deacetylating the abundant natural chitin polymer. It has been employed in a variety of applications due to its unique solubility as well as its chemical and biological properties. In addition to being biodegradable and biocompatible, it also possesses a lot of reactive amino side groups that allow for chemical modification and the creation of a wide range of useful derivatives. The physical and chemical characteristics of chitosan, as well as how it is used in the food, environmental, and medical industries, have all been covered in a number of academic publications. Chitosan offers a wide range of possibilities in environmentally friendly textile processes because of its superior absorption and biological characteristics. Chitosan has the ability to give textile fibers and fabrics antibacterial, antiviral, anti-odor, and other biological functions. One of the most well-known and frequently used methods to create nanofibers is electrospinning. This technique is adaptable and effective for creating continuous nanofibers. In the field of biomaterials, new materials include nanofibers made of chitosan. Numerous medications, including antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, proteins, and analgesics for inflammatory pain, have been successfully loaded onto electro-spun nanofibers, according to recent investigations. Chitosan nanofibers have several exceptional qualities that make them ideal for use in important pharmaceutical applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, wound dressing, and enzyme immobilization. The preparation of chitosan nanofibers, followed by a discussion of the biocompatibility and degradation of chitosan nanofibers, followed by a description of how to load the drug into the nanofibers, are the first issues highlighted by this review of chitosan nanofibers in drug delivery applications. The main uses of chitosan nanofibers in drug delivery systems will be discussed last. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The primary goal of this study is to prepare chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) by the ionic gelation method via the treatment of chitosan (0.2 wt.%) with tripolyphosphate (0.2 wt.%) ultrasonically for 45 min. FT-IR spectroscopy and TEM images were used to characterize and validate CSNP production. Cellulosic materials with different concentrations of CSNPs have better antibacterial and colouring characteristics. The treated cellulosic fabrics were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, and thermogravimetric analysis. Colourimetric data measurements expressed in K/S values were used to evaluate the impact of CSNPs on the dyeing affinity of cellulosic materials. In addition, antibacterial activity against bacteria and fungi was tested on the treated cellulosic fabrics. According to the K/S values, cellulosic textiles treated with CSNPs (0.3 wt.%) had a better affinity for acid dyeing. These textiles also offer better antibacterial properties and are more resistant to washing, light, and rubbing. A cytotoxicity study found that CSNPs give cellulosic materials antibacterial and acid dyeing properties, which is good for the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The chemical reactivity of 3-[(E)-3-(dimethylamino)-2-propenoyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methy-2(1H)-quinolinone (1) towards some phosphorus reagents was studied. The enaminone 1 was cyclized into pyranoquinolinylphosphonate 2 via treatment with diethyl phosphite in basic medium. However, its reaction with triethoxy phosphonoacetate gave the substituted oxopyranylphosphonate 3. Using the same reaction conditions, both thioxopyridinylphosphonate 4 and oxopyranylphosphonate 5 were produced via a reaction of enaminone 1 with both diethyl 2-amino-2-thioxoethylphosphonate and diethyl vinylphosphonate, respectively, in low yields. In addition, the two novel oxopyridinylphosphonates 6 and 7 were obtained by treatment of enaminone 1 with a diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate reagent. Two oaxathiaphosphininyl derivatives, 8 and 9, were obtained by treatment of the enaminone 1 with O, O-diethyl dithiophosphoric acid under different reaction conditions. Diazaphosphininyl 11 and oxazaphosphininyl 12 derivatives were obtained in excellent yields using a P-phenylphosphonic diamide reagent under different reaction conditions. The treatment of the enaminone 1 with phosphorus pentasulfide produced the non-phosphorylated product thioxothiopyranoquinolinone 13. Finally, the enaminone was turned into oxathiaphosphininyl 14 using Lawesson's reagent. The possible reaction mechanisms of the formation of these products were discussed. The structures of newly isolated products were established by elemental analysis and spectral tools. The compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
