There are two crystallograpically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title bis-chalcone derivative, C25H32N2O. Both mol-ecules are twisted with a dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings of 11.19 (16)° in one mol-ecule and 14.40 (15)° in the other. The central penta-1,4-dien-3-one fragments make dihedral angles of 8.49 (17) and 4.26 (17)° with the two adjacent benzene rings in one mol-ecule, whereas the corresponding values are 8.42 (16) and 6.18 (16)° in the other. In the crystal, mol-ecules are arranged into chains along the c-axis direction. Adjacent chains are inter-linked by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions. The crystal is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The mol-ecule is twisted about the Cp-S (p = pyrimidine) bond, with a C-S-C-N torsion angle of -19.57 (16)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules form inversion dimers through pairs of strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating an R 2 (2)(8) ring motif. The dimers are connected into chains extending along the c-axis direction through additional N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Eight novel N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-propylpentane hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives 4a-h were synthesized and fully characterized by IR, NMR ((1)H-NMR and (13)C-NMR), elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The cyto-toxicity and in vitro anti-cancer evaluation of the prepared compounds have been assessed against two different human tumour cell lines including human liver (HepG2) and leukaemia (Jurkat), as well as in normal cell lines derived from human embryonic kidney (HEK293) using MTT assay. The compounds 3e, 3f, 4a, 4c, and 4e revealed promising anti-cancer activities in tested human tumour cells lines (IC50 values between 3 and 7 μM) as compared to the known anti-cancer drug 5-Fluorouracil (IC50 32-50 μM). Among the tested compounds, 4a showed specificity against leukaemia (Jurkat) cells, with an IC50 value of 3.14 μM, but this compound was inactive in liver cancer and normal cell lines.
Novel series of 2-(4,6-dimethoxy,1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino acid ester derivatives were synthesized using simple one pot method in methanol. The products were obtained in high yields and purities as observed from their spectral data, elemental analyses, GC-MS and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculated molecular structures are well correlated with the geometrical parameters obtained from the X-ray analyses. The spectroscopic properties such as IR vibrational modes, NMR chemical shifts and UV-Vis electronic transitions were discussed both experimentally and theoretically. The IR vibrational frequencies showed good correlations with the experimental data (R(2)=0.9961-0.9995). The electronic spectra were assigned based on the TD-DFT results. Intense electronic transition band is calculated at 198.1nm (f=0.1389), 204.2nm (f=0.2053), 205.0 (f=0.1704) and 205.7 (0.2971) for compounds 6a-i, respectively. The molecular orbital energy levels contributed in the longest wavelength transition band were explained. For all compounds, the experimental wavelengths showed red shifts compared to the calculations due to the solvent effect. The NMR chemical shifts were calculated using GIAO method. The NBO analyses were performed to predict the stabilization energies due to the electron delocalization processes occur in the studied systems.
This paper describes an efficient and regioselective method for the synthesis of novel fluorinated spiro-heterocycles in excellent yield by cascade [5+1] double Michael addition reactions. The compounds 7,11-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2,4-dimethyl- 2,4-diazaspiro[5.5] undecane-1,3,5,9-tetraone (3a) and 2,4-dimethyl-7,11-bis (4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,4-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-1,3,5,9-tetraone (3b) were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and NMR techniques. The optimized geometrical parameters, infrared vibrational frequencies and NMR chemical shifts of the studied compounds have also been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) method, using Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr functional and the 6-311G(d,p) basis set. There is good agreement between the experimentally determined structural parameters, vibrational frequencies and NMR chemical shifts of the studied compounds and those predicted theoretically. The calculated natural atomic charges using NBO method showed higher polarity of 3a compared to 3b.The calculated electronic spectra are also discussed based on the TD-DFT calculations.

The synthesis of the new diethyl ammonium salt of diethylammonium(E)-5-(1,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopent-4-en-1-yl)-1,3-diethyl-4,6-dioxo-2-thioxohexaydropyrimidin-5-ide 3 via a regioselective Michael addition of N,N-diethylthiobarbituric acid 1 to dienone 2 is described. In 3, the carboanion of the thiobarbituric moiety is stabilized by the strong intramolecular electron delocalization with the adjacent carbonyl groups and so the reaction proceeds without any cyclization.

Compounds 3b (IC50=62.4±1.5 μM), 3c (IC50=25.3±1.26 μM), 3d (IC50=12.4±0.15 μM), 3e (IC50=22.9±0.25 μM), 3g (IC50=23.8±0.17 μM), 3h (IC50=163.3±5.1 μM), 3i (IC50=30.6±0.6 μM), 3m (IC50=26.4±0.34 μM), and 3o (IC50=136.1±6.63 μM) were found to be potent α-glucosidase inhibitors in comparison to the standard drug acarbose (IC50=840±1.73 μM). The compounds were also evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against PC-3, HeLa, and MCF-3 cancer cell lines, and 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. All compounds were found to be non cytotoxic, except compounds 3f and 3m (IC50=17.79±0.66-20.44±0.30 μM), which showed a weak cytotoxic activity against the HeLa, and 3T3 cell lines. In molecular docking simulation study, all the compounds were docked into the active site of the predicted homology model of α-glucosidase enzyme. From the docking result, it was observed that most of the synthesized compounds showed interaction through carbonyl oxygen atom and polar phenyl ring with active site residues of the enzyme.
In order to develop a potent anti-tumor agent that can target both cancer stem cells and the bulk of tumor cells, a series of 2-((benzimidazol-2-yl)thio)-1-arylethan-1-ones 5a-o was synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity towards colon HT-29 cancer cell line. In addition, their inhibitory effect against cell surface expression of CD133, a potent cancer stem cells (CSCs) marker, in the same cells was evaluated by flow cytometry at 10 μM.

The synthesis and spectral characterization of the 5-(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione;3 was reported. The solid state molecular structure of 3 was studied using X-ray crystallography. The relative stabilities of the seven possible isomers of 3 were calculated by DFT/B3LYP method using 6-311 G(d,p) basis set. The calculated total energies and thermodynamic parameters were used to predict the relative stabilities of these isomers. The effect of solvent polarity on the relative stability of these isomers was studied at the same level of theory using PCM. It was found that the keto form, (T0), is the most stable isomer both in the gaseous state and solution. In solution, the calculated total energies of all isomers are decreased indicating that all isomers are stabilized by the solvent effect. The vibrational spectra of the most stable isomer, 3(T0) are calculated using the same level of theory and the results are compared with the experimentally measured FTIR spectra. Good correlation was obtained between the experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies (R(2)=0.9992). The electronic spectra of 3(T0) in gas phase as well as in solutions were calculated using the TD-DFT method. All the predicted electronic transitions showed very little spectral shifts and increase in the intensity of absorption due to solvent effect. Also the (1)H- and (13)C-NMR chemical shifts of the stable isomer were calculated and the results were correlated with the experimental data. Good correlations between the experimental and calculated chemical shifts were obtained.
The title 1,3,4-oxa-diazole-2-thione derivative, C18H20N4OS2, crystallized with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The 2-thienyl rings in both mol-ecules are rotationally disordered over two orientations by approximately 180° about the single C-C bond that connects it to the oxa-diazole thione ring; the ratios of site occupancies for the major and minor components were fixed in the structure refinement at 0.8:0.2 and 0.9:0.1 in mol-ecules A and B, respectively. The 1,3,4-oxa-diazole-2-thione ring forms dihedral angles of 7.71 (16), 10.0 (11) and 77.50 (12)° (mol-ecule A), and 6.5 (3), 6.0 (9) and 55.30 (12)° (mol-ecule B) with the major and minor parts of the disordered thio-phene ring and the mean plane of the adjacent piperazine ring, respectively, resulting in approximately V-shaped conformations for the mol-ecules. The piperazine ring in both mol-ecules adopts a chair conformation. The terminal benzene ring is inclined towards the mean plane of the piperazine ring with N-C-C-C torsion angles of -58.2 (3) and -66.2 (3)° in mol-ecules A and B, respectively. In the crystal, no inter-molecular hydrogen bonds are observed. The crystal packing features short S⋯S contacts [3.4792 (9) Å] and π-π inter-actions [3.661 (3), 3.664 (11) and 3.5727 (10) Å], producing a three-dimensional network.
