  • Publication number: 20210221825
    Abstract: Novel heterocyclic systems are herein disclosed, which possess many biological activities, including but not limited to anticancer activity. The disclosed compounds are useful in the treatment of many disease states related to cell proliferation. In particular, new pyran derivatives are provided along with processes for their preparations and methods for their pharmaceutical applications, for example, as anticancer agents. These compounds were found to have antiproliferative effects against multiple cancer cell lines and showed low toxicity to normal fibroblasts. The disclosed compounds also exhibited anticancer properties by inducing caspase-mediated cell death mechanisms and arresting cancer cell progression. Further, these novel compounds were able to target multiple key proteins/enzymes, including thioredoxin reductase, glutathione reductase, transferrin receptors, inisitol-3-phosphate synthase, cystolic aminopeptidase, and transketolase, which are over-expressed in tumor cells.

  • Patent number: 10526343
    Abstract: Novel heterocyclic fused systems are disclosed herein which possess numerous biological activities, including but not limited to antibacterial activity, and usefulness to the treatment of many disease states, such as pathogenic infections. In particular, new imidazoles are disclosed along with related processes of preparation and methods of use as antibacterial agents. The disclosed compounds were found to be active against several Gram-positive bacteria, including Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis, and were also found to be active against several species of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus, such as S. aureus, S. saprophyticus, S. haemolyticus, and S. epidermidis.
