Synthesis, antimicrobial and anticancer activities of a novel series of diphenyl 1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethylphosphonates

A novel series of diphenyl 1-(arylamino)-1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethylphosphonates 1-5 was obtained in high yields from reactions of 3-acetyl pyridine with aromatic amines and triphenylphosphite in the presence of lithium perchlorate as a catalyst. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR spectral data and microanalyses. Compounds 1-5 showed high antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli (NCIM2065) as a Gram-negative bacterium, Bacillus subtilis (PC1219) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25292) as Gram-positive bacteria and Candidaalbicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as fungi, at low concentrations (10-100 μg/mL). Also, the synthesized compounds showed significant cytotoxicity anticancer activities against liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2) and human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF7). The lethal dose of the synthesized compounds was also determined and indicated that most compounds are safe to use.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Diphenyl(Arylamino)(1-Phenyl-3-(Pyridin-2-Yl)-1H-Pyrazol-4-Yl)Methylphosphonates

Abstract A series of novel diphenyl(arylamino)(1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylphosphonates have been synthesized in high yields. They were screened for their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (NCIM2065) as a Gram-negative bacterium, Bacillus subtilis (PC1219) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25292) as Gram-positive bacteria, and Schccaromycies cerevisiae as a fungus. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the synthetic compounds showed moderate antibacterial and antifungal activities at low concentrations (10–1000 μg/mL).

Synthesis of a Series of Diphenyl (Arylamino)(Pyridin-3-yl)Methylphosphonates as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

Abstract Diphenyl 1-(arylamino)(pyridin-3-yl)methylphosphonates were obtained in high yields from the reactions of nicotinaldehyde with aromatic amines and triphenylphosphite in the presence of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) as a catalyst. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral data and their purities were confirmed by elemental analyses. The synthesized α-aminophosphonates showed moderate to high antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli (NCIM2065) as a Gram-negative bacterium, Bacillus subtilis (PC1219) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25292) as Gram-positive bacteria, and Candida albicans and Schccaromycies cerevisiae as fungi, at various concentrations (10–100 μg/mL).The lethal dose of the synthesized compounds was also determined and indicated that most compounds are safe to use.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of a Novel Series of Heterocyclic α-Aminophosphonates

Two series of novel α‐aminophosphonates having heterocyclic moieties were synthesized in high yields. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by their elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR and MS spectral data. These compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (NCIM2065) as a Gram‐negative bacterium, Bacillus subtilis (PC1219) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25292) as Gram‐positive bacteria, and Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as fungi. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the synthesized compounds show high antibacterial and antifungal activities at low concentrations (10–1000 µg/mL). Furthermore, their lethal doses indicated that such compounds are safe for use as antimicrobial agents.

Antimicrobial Activities of a Series of Diphenyl (4′-(Aryldiazenyl)Biphenyl-4-Ylamino)(Pyridin-3-YL)Methylphosphonates

Abstract A series of diphenyl (4′-(aryldiazenyl)biphenyl-4-ylamino)(pyridin-3-yl)methyl- phosphonates 2–7 was synthesized in high yields and their antimicrobial activities were investigated. Some compounds showed high antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli as a gram-negative bacterium, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus as gram-positive bacteria, and Candida albicans and Schccaromycies cerevisiae as fungi and at low concentrations (10–1000 μg/mL).

A Facile Microwave Assisted Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of 5-Phenyl-1,3,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives for Chemotherapeutic Use

This paper deals with an efficient synthesis of some 2-amino-5-substituted phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles by using both conventional and microwave methods for chemotherapeutic use. The obtained results confirmed that, microwave assisted technique is efficient, eco-friendly, and inexpensive method which not only gives higher yield but also reduces the reaction time significantly. The structural elucidation of the prepared compounds was carried out by the aid of IR, 1 H NMR, UV-Vis and mass spectral analyses. Compounds S a -S f showed antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli , Serratia marcescens, Salmonella enterica and Proteus vulgaris (Gram-negative bacteria) and Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) at low concentrations (10–1000 µg/mL).

Diphenyl (4′-(Aryldiazenyl)biphenyl-4-ylamino)(pyridin-3-yl)methylphosphonates as Azo Disperse Dyes for Dyeing Polyester Fabrics

Diphenyl (4′-aminobiphenyl-4-ylamino)(pyridin-3-yl)methylphosphonate (1) was synthesized in 88% yield from reaction of pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde with benzidine and triphenylphosphite in the presence of titanium tetrachloride as a catalyst. Diazotization of 1 gave the corresponding diazonium salt 2 which was coupled with several hydroxyl or amino compounds to give the corresponding azo dyes 3–8 in 82–88% yields after crystallization. The dyes produced were applied to polyesters as disperse dyes and their fastness properties were elevated.
