Synthesis, Molecular Docking and Biological Evaluation of Novel Chlorobenzenesulfonamide Analogues of Ibuprofen as Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Diabetic and Anti-Alzheimer Agents
Abstract: In this work, we have synthesized novel chlorobenzensulfonamide tertiary amide based analogues of Ibuprofen (Ibu) and investigated them for their anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic and anti-Alzheimer activities. In the first step, Ibu was converted to amide derivatives by incorporating different aromatic amines. These were further converted into sulfonamide analogues (Sul-Ibu, 1-9) by treating it with p-chlorobenzensulfonyl chloride. Sul-Ibu (1-9) were screened against S. aureus, B. subtilis, S. mutans, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, …

Chompound contaning oxadiazole derivatives and their potential therapeutic uses.
Abstract: Derivatives of oxadiazole or furadi azole rings constitute a significant class of heterocyclic substances. Oxadiazole is a heterocyclic, five-membered ring with two carbons, one oxygen atom, two nitrogen atoms, and two double bonds. They are produced by substituting two nitrogen (-N =) atoms for two methylene groups (= CH) in furan. The furan ring's aromaticity was significantly decreased by substituting these groups, resulting in a conjugated diene character. There were …
