A series of 116 small-molecule 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides was designed based on the fragment-based approach and was synthesized according to the microwave-assisted protocol. The biological activity of all of the compounds was tested on human colon carcinoma cell lines including a deleted TP53 tumor suppressor gene. The mechanism of activity was studied according to the p53 status in the cell. Several compounds revealed a good to excellent activity that was similar to or better than the standard anticancer drugs. Some of these appeared to be more active against the p53 null cells than their wild-type counterparts. Intercalating the properties of these compounds could be responsible for their mechanism of action.

Series of seventeen new multihalogenated 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides was prepared and characterized. All the compounds were tested for their activity related to the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. 1-Hydroxy-N-phenylnaphthalene-2-carboxamides substituted in the anilide part by 3,5-dichloro-, 4-bromo-3-chloro-, 2,5-dibromo- and 3,4,5-trichloro atoms were the most potent PET inhibitors (IC50 = 5.2, 6.7, 7.6 and 8.0 µM, respectively). The inhibitory activity of these compounds depends on the position and the type of halogen substituents, i.e., on lipophilicity and electronic properties of individual substituents of the anilide part of the molecule. Interactions of the studied compounds with chlorophyll a and aromatic amino acids present in pigment-protein complexes mainly in PS II were documented by fluorescence spectroscopy. The section between P680 and plastoquinone QB in the PET chain occurring on the acceptor side of PS II can be suggested as the site of action of the compounds. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.

A series of nineteen N-(alkoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carboxamides and a series of their nineteen positional isomers N-(alkoxyphenyl)-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxamides were prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of all the synthesized compounds was performed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, M. kansasii and M. smegmatis. Screening of the cytotoxicity of the compounds was performed using human monocytic leukemia THP-1 cells. Some of the tested compounds showed antimycobacterial activity comparable with or higher than that of rifampicin. For example, 2-hydroxy-N-(4-propoxyphenyl)-naphthalene-1-carboxamide showed the highest activity (MIC = 12 µM) against M. tuberculosis with insignificant cytotoxicity. N-[3-(But-2-yloxy)phenyl]- and N-[4-(but-2-yloxy)phenyl]-2-hydroxy-naphthalene-1-carboxamide demonstrated high activity against all tested mycobacterial strains and insignificant cytotoxicity. N-(Alkoxyphenyl)-1-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxamides demonstrated rather high effect against M. smegmatis and M. kansasii and strong antiproliferative effect against the human THP-1 cell line. Lipophilicity was found as the main physicochemical parameter influencing the activity. A significant decrease of mycobacterial cell metabolism (viability of M. tuberculosis H37Ra) was observed using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.

In this study, a series of twenty-two ring-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxanilides was prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of the synthesized compounds was performed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, Mycobacterium avium complex and M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Some of the tested compounds showed the antimycobacterial activity against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis comparable with or higher than that of rifampicin. 8-Hydroxy-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- and 8-hydroxy-N-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]quinoline-2-carboxamide showed MIC=24 μM against all tested mycobacterial strains. 3-Methoxyphenyl- and 3-methylphenyl derivatives expressed MIC=27 or 29 μM also against all the tested strains. Their activity against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis was 4-fold higher than that of rifampicin. 2-Bromophenyl- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl derivatives had MIC=23 or 24 μM against M. tuberculosis. A significant decrease of mycobacterial cell metabolism (viability of M. tuberculosis H37Ra) was observed using MTT assay. Screening of cytotoxicity of the compounds was performed using the THP-1 cells, and no significant lethal effect was observed up to tested concentration 30 μM. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.

In this study, a series of twenty-two ring-substituted 6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxanilides was prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of the synthesized compounds was performed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, Mycobacterium avium complex and M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Derivatives substituted by trifluoromethyl, bromo, methyl and methoxy moieties in C'(3) and C'(4) positions of the anilide ring showed 2-fold higher activity against M. tuberculosis than isoniazid and 4.5-fold higher activity against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis than rifampicin. 6-Hydroxy-N-(2-methylphenyl)naphthalene-2-carboxamide had MIC=29 μM against M. avium complex. A significant decrease of mycobacterial cell metabolism (viability of M. tuberculosis H37Ra) was observed using MTT assay. Screening of the cytotoxicity of the most effective antimycobacterial compounds was performed using the THP-1 cells, and no significant lethal effect was observed. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.

Methanolic extract from leaves of Karwinskia humboldtiana (Schult.) Zucc. was subjected to fractionation with a pair of immiscible solvents and subsequently tested for antioxidant activity. Using DPPH the order of scavenging activities of the extracts in comparison with standards of L-ascorbic acid and quercetin was as follows: ethyl acetate fraction > L-ascorbic acid > quercetin > butan-1-ol > light petrol > chloroform > water. The capability of scavenging OH radicals determined by EPR was as follows: ethyl acetate, chloroform > light petrol > butan-1-ol > water fractions. On the basis of availability and antioxidant activity of these fractions, isolation of constituents from butanol fractions was achieved. Separation of this fraction led to the isolation of (+)-epicatechin and flavonol derivatives – quercetin, quercetin 3-O-glucoside (isoquercitrin), quercetin-3-O-galactoside (hyperosid), quercetin-3-O-arabinoside, quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (rutin), kaempferol 3-O-arabinoside and kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside. All of them might be responsible for the observed antioxidant effects.
Na separáciu konformérov diazepamu sa použila chirálna stacionárna fáza na báze ß-cyklodextrínu. Ako mobilné fázy sa použili zmesi organického rozpúšťadla a tlmivého roztoku so zložením acetonitril/octanový tlmivý roztok (200 mmol/l) s rôznym pH (3,3; 5,5; 6,5). Následne sa skúmal vplyv prídavku chirálneho selektora (ß-cyklodextrínu) do mobilnej fázy na separáciu konformérov diazepamu. Separácia konformérov diazepamu bola komplikovaná interkonverziou diazepamu, ktorá je dôsledkom jeho konfiguračnej nestability. Detailne sa študoval vplyv prietoku, teploty, pH a iónovej sily mobilnej fázy na interkonverziu a elučné charakteristiky (retenčný faktor a selektivitný koeficient). HPLC separácia bola doplnená štandardným 1H a COSY NMR experimentom, ktorým sa overila štruktúra diazepamu v kyslom prostredí mobilnej fázy.
Chiral ß-cyclodextrin was used to separate diazepam conformers. Several mobile phases of the composition acetonitrile/acetate buffer 200 mmol/l (pH=3.3, 5.5, 6.5) were employed for this purpose. As follows, the influence of addition of chiral ß-cyclodextrin to the mobile phase on diazepam separation was studied. The interconversion was a concurrence process of separation, resulting from stereolability of the diazepam molecule. The influences of temperature, flow rate, pH, and ionic strength of the mobile phase on interconversion and chromatographic parameters (retention factor and selectivity coefficient) were studied. Complementary off-line NMR measurements were carried out with the goal to confirm the structure of diazepam in the presence of an acid mobile phase.
