The title compound N-[5-（benzylthio）-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-4-chlorobenzamide（C（16）H（12）ClN3OS2, Mr = 361.86） was designed and synthesized as anticancer agent, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P1 with a = 5.7417（10）, b = 9.8057（17）, c = 14.330（3） A, a = 91.987（3）, b = 97.154（3）, γ = 93.402（3）°, V = 798.4（2） A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.505 g/cm^3, μ = 0.507 mm-1） F（000） = 372, the final R = 0.0481 and wR = 0.1290 for 2064 observed reflections with I 〉 2s（I）. In the crystal packing, the molecules form stacks by a three-dimensional framework, which results from intermolecular N（1）-H（1）···N（2） and C（5）-H（5）···N（3） hydrogen bonds together with π-π stacking interactions between the thiadiazole and chlorobenzene rings. The title compound was found to exhibit more potent in vitro antitumor activities against the four tested cancer cell lines than sorafenib.

Synthesis and Bacteriostatic Activity and Antifouling Capability of Benzamide Derivatives Containing Capsaicin

Five benzamide deriatives containing capsaicin were synthesized which have similar structures to capsaicin. Their yield was high. The monomers synthesized were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and MS spectroscopy. Cha-racterization data are in agreement with the proposed structures of the products. These five compounds exhibit bacterial inhibition and N-[4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-（methylthio）benzyl]benzamide（HMMBBA）, for instance, shows that the minimal inhibitory concentrations（MIC） of HMMBBA are 0.125 and 0.25 mg/mL on Staphyloccocus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. A static test site was set up in the eighth harbor to investigate the antifouling effectiveness of the five new antifoulants. Five-month exposure experiments were performed on sets of panels coated with each of antifouling coatings, and the results were compared to that of the test panel without antifouling coating. Test boards with antifouling coating were covered with just a macroscopic fouling organism such as Balanus. The results of the present paper demonstrate that new antifoulants represent an alternative to the biocidal antifouling paint.

Crystal and Molecular Structure of Bis-N,N’(dithiodi-2,1-phennylene)benzamide

The crystal structure of the title compound ((C 6H 5CONC 6H 4S) 2, M r =229) has been determined by X ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic space group P 1 with cell parameters: a=7.957(4), b=11.570(7), c=12 335(6), α=76.68(4), β=81.48(4), γ=87.26(4)°, V=1092.9 3, Z=2, D c =1 39g/cm 3, F(000)=476, μ (Mo Kα )=2.7mm -1 . The final R factor is 0.0373 for 3764 observed reflections. The result of X ray diffraction analysis indicates that all of these single bond lengths are obviously shorter than that of standard single bond. Those atoms might take part in a conjugate system. The electrons for sp 3 hybridized S(1) and S(2) move toward two sides and the densities of electronic cloud among them are reduced and can be easily broken. The obtained results can explain the reaction mechanism of the title compound.

Evaluation of Benzamide Derivatives as New Influenza A Nucleoprotein Inhibitors

Virus nucleoprotein (NP) is an emerging target for drug development for Influenza. We designed benzamide derivatives as new inhibitors of NP that demonstrate good potency in blocking influenza A. Screening revealed that compound 39 was the most potent molecule in the series, exhibiting IC50 values of 0.46 and 0.27 μM in blocking the replication of H3N2 (A/HK/8/68) and (A/WSN/33) influenza A viral strains. The observed inhibition of viral replication correlated well with cytopathic protection. Furthermore, based on computational analysis and fluorescence microscopy, it was determined that compound 39 inhibited nuclear accumulation by targeting influenza A viral nucleoproteins. Finally, the rodent pharmacokinetic profile of compound 32 displayed half-life of greater than 4 hours and bioavailability greater than 20%, suggesting this class of molecules had drug-like properties.

Acetylation and benzoylation reactions of certain aromatic aldehydes, ketones with Vilsmeier-Haack Re- agents using Acetamide and Oxychloride (SOCl2 or POCl3) under conventional (thermal) and non conven- tional [microwave irradiated (MIR), ultrasonic assisted and solvent free mortar pestle (grinding)] conditions.

The combination of benzamides/NCS as nitrogen/halogen sources for aminohalogenation of β-nitrostyrenes resulting in dichlorinated haloamides

The combination of benzamide and NCS was found to be an efficient nitrogen/halogen source for aminohalogenation of β-nitrostyrenes.The reaction was convenient to carry out by using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as the catalyst,resulting in vicinal dichlorinated haloamino nitroalkanes with opposite regiochemistry to that generated from other electron-deficient olefins observed previously.The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature with good yields and excellent regioselectivities.A mechanism involving a chloronium intermediate was proposed to explain the resulting regiochemistry.The current system explored a new type of nitrogen sources for aminohalogenation of functionalized olefins.

Benzylic aroylation of toluenes with unactivated tertiary benzamides promoted by directed ortho-lithiation

The deprotonative functionalization of toluenes,for their weak acidity,generally needs strong bases,thus leading to the requirement of harsh conditions and the generation of by-products.Direct nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of amides with organometallic reagents could provide an ideal solution for ketone synthesis.However,the inert amides and highly reactive organometallic reagents bring great challenges for an efficient and selective synthetic approach.Herein,we reported an lithium diisopropylamide(LDA)-promoted benzylic aroylation of toluenes with unactivated tertiary benzamides,providing a direct and efficient synthesis of various aryl benzyl ketones.This process features a kinetic deprotonative functionalization of toluenes with a readily available base LDA.Mechanism studies revealed that the directed ortho-lithiation of the tertiary benzamide with LDA promoted the benzylic kinetic deprotonation of toluene and triggered the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction with the amide.

The fresh weight efficacy of J-L-59 against A. theophrasti and A. retroflexus was 100%at 1 000 g a.i./hm^2 , and the ED50 value for A. retroflexus was 94.06 g a.i./hm^2 .[Conclusion] J-L-59 has higher herbicidal activity.

Relative efficacy of some prokinetic drugs in morphine-induced gastrointestinal transit delay in mice

AIM:To study the relative efficacy of cisapride, metoclopramide,domperidone,erythromycin and mosapride on gastric emptying(GE)and small intestinal transit(SIT) in morphine treated mice. METHODS:Phenol red marker meal was employed to estimate GE and SIT in Swiss albino mice of either sex.The groups included were control,morphine 1 mg/kg(s.c.15 rain before test meal)alone or with(45 rain before test meal p.o.)cisapride 10 mg/kg,metoclopramide 20 mg/kg, domperidone 20 mg/kg,erythromycin 6 mg/kg and mosapride 20 mg/kg. RESULTS:Cisapride,metoclopramide and mosapride were effective in enhancing gastric emptying significantly(P<0.001) whereas other prokinetic agents failed to do so in normal mice.Metoclopramide completely reversed morphine induced delay in gastric emptying followed by mosapride. Metoclopramide alone was effective when given to normal mice in increasing the SIT.Cisapride,though it did not show any significant effect on SIT in normal mice,was able to reverse morphine induced delay in SIT significantly(P<0.001) followed by metoclopramide and mosapride. CONCLUSION:Metoclopramide and cisapride are most effective in reversing morphine-induced delay in gastric emptying and small intestinal transit in mice respectively.
