Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a novel series of 3-aryl-2-(2-substituted-4-methylthiazole-5-yl)thiazolidin-4-one as possible anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents

A new series of 3-aryl-2-(2-aryl/benzyl-4-methylthiazole-5-yl)thiazolidin-4-one was synthesized by condensation of 2-aryl/benzyl-4-methylthiazole-5-carbaldehyde, aromatic amines and thioglycolic acid in toluene. All the synthesized compounds are characterized by IR, NMR and elemental or mass analysis. Sixteen out of the newly synthesized compounds were screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity compared with indomethacin. The synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Some of the compounds showed mild antibacterial activity while most of the compounds showed good antifungal activity.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Series of 1-((4-Methyl-2-Substituted Thiazol-5-yl)Methyleneam INO)-2-Substituted Isothiourea Derivatives

A novel series of 1-((4-methyl-2-substituted thiazol-5-yl)methyleneamino)-2-substituted isothiourea derivatives was synthesized by alkylation of (Z/E)-1-((4-methyl-2-substituted thiazol-5-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazide with alkylhalide in acetone. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry) methods. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity. Most of the compounds show moderate to excellent antimicrobial activity.

A ring-closing metathesis approach for the synthesis of (±)-pregabalin

Efficient utilization of a Mannich-type reaction and the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) approach that leads to a convenient synthesis of 3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid (pregabalin) is described.Graphical abstract
