Heterocyclic oxime ethers play a significant role in organisms due to their biological activity. Lipophilicity is an important parameter that may affect biological activity of the compounds 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one oxime and its nine biologically active ethers. The relationship between the structure and lipophilicity parameters (log kw values) of the ten compounds is here described. Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was used having methanol, 2-propanol and acetonitrile as organic modifiers of the mobile phases. Both experimental (log kw) and calculated (log P) parameters showed to be strongly positively correlated. The weakest correlation with all the data was for the log kw methanol. For all of analyzed compounds, log kw values are smaller than 5 (except for analyses carried out in methanol), and this result corresponds to the Lipinski’s rule in the range of lipophilicity. Therefore, in the case of their use as drugs, they will be probably active after oral application.

Two new 1,2,4-triazole-containing alkenoic acid derivatives were obtained from the reaction of N -phenyl-(pyridin-2-yl)carbohydrazonamide with itaconic anhydride, depending on the reaction conditions. The structures of 2-((4-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-4 H -1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl)acrylic acid or ( E )-2-methyl-3(4-phenyl-5-(pyridine-2-yl)-4 H -1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)acrylic acid were confirmed by means of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The experiential 1 H and 13 C chemical shifts were compared with those calculated with B3LYP, EDF1, and EDF2 density functional theories. The theoretical study of the observed terminal-to-internal alkene isomerization was performed with density functional (DFT) B3LYP/6-31+G ∗ method using SM8 water and DMF solvation models. Antimicrobial activities of the newly prepared alkenoic acid derivatives were verified experimentally by a broth microdilution method.

In this research, conditions of cyclization of dimethyl 2-[(1-arylamino-1-arylme-thylidene)hydrazono]succinate 1 – 5 leading to the formation of 3,4-diaryl-5-carboxymethyl-1,2,4-triazole 6 – 10 and methyl 2-(5-oxo-3,4-diaryl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazine-6-ylidene)acetates 11 – 15 and the biological activity of some of them have been examined. Their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, 1 H-NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. Substances 8 and 13 exhibited moderate virucidal activity and partially inhibited absorption of the viruses to the susceptible cells. The acute toxicity of compounds 6–10 was established. For compounds 8 and 13 , the influence on the central nervous system of mice and rats in behavioral tests was examined.

The title compound, C(19)H(13)N(5)O(2), crystallizes in two monoclinic forms depending on the solvent used. From methanol or acetone, a yellow form [(Ia), m.p. 533 K] in the space group P2(1) is obtained, while with ethanol as the solvent, an orange form [(Ib), m.p. 541 K] in the space group Cc results. The conformers observed in the two polymorphs differ primarily in the relative orientation of pyridine/phenyl and triazole rings. Molecules of both polymorphs form chains through carboxyl O-H...N hydrogen bonding; however, in each crystal structure, a different group acts as acceptor, viz. a triazole and a pyridyl N atom for (Ia) and (Ib), respectively. This is the first case of polymorphism observed for crystals of a 3,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazole derivative.

New 3-(3,4-diaryl-1,2,4-triazole-5-yl)propenoic acid derivatives (8–14) were synthesized by condensation of N3-substituted amidrazones (1–7) with maleic anhydride. Molecular structure of obtained compounds was confirmed by an elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra, and the X-ray crystallography for compound 11. The influence of the compound 9 on the central nervous system (CNS) of mice in some behavioural test was examined. The investigated compound showed anticonvulsive activity and potent antinociceptive action.
