Item Synthesis of some new 4-styryltetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline and 1-substituted-4-styryl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline derivatives as potent anticonvulsants(2009) Wagle, S.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Suchetha Kumari, N.S.4-Methyltetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline (3) was prepared by the azide cyclocondensation of 2-chloro-3-methylquinoxaline (2). The reaction of 3 with aromatic aldehydes furnished 4-styryltetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxalines (4a-f). Compound 2, on treatment with hydrazine hydrate gave 2-hydrazino-3-methylquinoxaline (5). The ring closure of 5 was achieved by the reaction of orthoesters and trifluoroacetic acid to yield 4-methyl-1-(substituted)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines (7a-c). Further, reaction of 7a-c with different aromatic aldehydes furnished the title compounds, 4-styryl-1-(substituted)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines (8a-i) in good yield. In another scheme, the hydrazino compound 5 was treated with different aromatic aldehydes to yield corresponding N-arylidenehydrazino quinoxalines (6a-d). Further, the oxidative cyclization of hydrazones by nitrobenzene yielded 1-aryl-4-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines (7d-g), which on condensation with aromatic aldehydes gave the title compounds, 1-aryl-4-styryl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines (8j-u). The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data, followed by elemental analysis. Some of the compounds were screened for in vivo anticonvulsant activity. Few of them exhibited promising results. © 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Following Dieckmann-Komppa reaction, the required precursor 3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-diester (1) was prepared. This was derivatized with propyl bromide and further converted to corresponding hydrazide (3), which was finally transformed to targeted hydrazones (4-30) by conventional methods. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized using FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, EI-MS and elemental analyses. The anticonvulsant activity of all the title compounds was investigated against maximal electroshock induced seizures (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scMET) models and their neurotoxicity was also evaluated. Some of the selected compounds were subjected to 6 Hz test in order to evaluate their uncover activities. Compound 3,4-dipropyloxy-N2,N5-bis[1-(2-thienyl)ethylidene]thiophene-2,5-dicarbohydrazide (15) has emerged as a lead in this series with less neurotoxicity. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.Item A new class of anticonvulsants possessing 6 Hz activity: 3,4-Dialkyloxy thiophene bishydrazones(2009) Kulandasamy, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Stables, J.P.Thirty nine new 3,4-di(substituted)oxy-N2,N5-bis(substituted)thiophene-2,5-dicarbohydrazides were synthesized starting from ethyl thiodiglycolate through multi-step reactions. In the synthetic sequence, 3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-diester (1) was obtained by condensing the ethyl thiodiglycolate with diethyl oxalate. It was derivatized using different alkyl halides to give disubstituted thiophene esters (2-5), which were then converted to corresponding hydrazides (6-9) following usual methods. Finally, these hydrazides, on treatment with various substituted carbonyl compounds underwent smooth condensation to yield target hydrazones (10-13). The new compounds were characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, mass spectral and elemental analyses. The anticonvulsant activity of the title compounds was established after intraperitoneal (ip) administration in three seizure models, which include maximal electroshock (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) and 6 Hz screens and their neurotoxicity was also evaluated. Compound 11f has emerged as an active compound with no neurotoxicity in this series. Also, the structure-activity relationship of the tested compounds was discussed. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectral study and also by C, H, N analyses. New compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity by well plate method (zone of inhibition). Antioxidant studies of the synthesized compounds were also performed by measuring the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Compounds 4c, 4e and 4f were found to be potent antibacterial and antioxidant agents. The acute oral toxicity study for the compounds 4c, 4e and 4f were carried out and the experimental studies revealed that compounds 4c and 4e is safe up to 3000 mg/kg and no death of animals were recorded. However in compound 4f, we found mortality above 2000 mg and also significant behavioral changes in experimental animals. © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Nutrient feeding, if performed, is achieved by bolus addition of concentrated feed solution at different intervals, which leads to large transient increases in nutrient concentrations. One negative consequence is increased waste metabolite production. We have developed a hydrogel-based nutrient delivery system for continuous feeding of nutrients in scale down models like shake flasks without the need for manual feed additions or any additional infrastructure. Continuous delivery also enables maintaining nutrient concentrations at low levels, if desired. The authors demonstrate the use of these systems for continuous feeding of glucose and protein hydrolysate to a suspension Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) culture in a shake flask. Glucose feeding achieved using the glucose-loaded hydrogel resulted in a 23% higher integral viable cell density and an 89% lower lactate concentration at the end of the culture when compared with a bolus-feed of glucose. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).Item Synthesis, anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory studies of new 1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl-phenoxyacetohydrazones(Elsevier Masson SAS infos@masson.fr 62 rue Camille Desmoulins Issy les Moulineaux Cedex 92442, 2013) Ulloora, S.; Shabaraya, R.; Ranganathan, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.The present work involves design and synthesis of new substituted 1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl-phenoxyacetohydrazones (4a-s, 5a-h), starting from 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The final compounds were screened for their in vivo anticonvulsant activity by MES, scPTZ and 6 Hz methods, while their anti-inflammatory screening was performed by Carrageenan induced Paw Edema method. The results indicated that compounds carrying electron donating groups are anticonvulsant active, while most of the tested compounds exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity. Compounds 4k, l, 4p-s, and 5c showed rapid anti-inflammatory activity within 30 min and appeared as lead compounds. Further, Neurotoxicity study revealed that all the tested compounds are non-toxic up to 300 mg/kg doses. Selected compounds were also subjected to analgesic screening following Tail immersion method and they exhibited good activity. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

All rights reserved.Item Facile synthesis of new imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines carrying 1,2,3-triazoles via click chemistry and their antiepileptic studies(2013) Ulloora, S.; Shabaraya, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.The present article reports the synthesis and anticonvulsant studies of new 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines carrying suitably substituted 1,2,3-triazoles as well as their intermediates. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques. The anticonvulsant study was carried out by MES and scPTZ screening methods, while their toxicity study was performed following Rotarod method. The active compounds showed enhanced seizure control in scPTZ method when compared with that of MES method. Compounds 3f, 4c, 4f, 5k, 5p and 5w carrying active pharmacophores exhibited complete protection against seizure and their results were comparable with standard drug diazepam. Majority of new compounds were found to be non-toxic, while few of them showed toxicity at 100 mg/kg. The c log P values of target compounds are in the range of 3.5-5.3, which confirm their lipophilic nature. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
