AbstractA series of benzothiazine derivatives (1–17) were synthesized via an intermolecular cyclocondensation reaction involving 2‐aminothiophenol (i) and substituted phenacyl bromide (ii). Structural elucidation of these synthetic derivatives utilized EI–MS, HR‐EIMS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized analogs were evaluated against key enzyme targets (acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and α‐glucosidase (α‐Glu)) and tested for cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. Six compounds were selected based on their inhibition profiles, exhibiting significant inhibitory potential against enzymes. In silico studies corroborated the observed inhibitory activities, aligning closely with experimental outcomes. Additionally, an ADME/T study provided insights into pharmacokinetic and safety profiles, identifying promising candidates for future drug development efforts.

A diminutive chemical library of acyl thiotriazinoindole (ATTI) based bioactive scaffolds was synthesized, instigated by taking the economical starting material Isatin, through a series of five steps. Isatin was first nitrated followed by the attachment of pentyl moiety via nucleophilic substitution reaction. The obtained compound was reacted with thiosemicarbazide to obtain thiosemicarbazone derivative, which was eventually cyclized using basic conditions in water as solvent. Finally, the reported series was obtained through reaction of nitrated thiotriazinoindole moiety with differently substituted phenacyl bromides. The synthesized compounds were characterized using NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Finally, the synthesized motifs were scrutinized for their potential to impede urease, α-glucosidase, DPPH, and α-amylase. Compound 5h with para cyano group manifested the most pivotal biological activity among all, displaying IC50 values of 29.7 ± 0.8, 20.5 ± 0.5 and 36.8 ± 3.9µM against urease, α-glucosidase, and DPPH assay, respectively. Simultaneously, for α-amylase compound 5g possessing a p-CH3 at phenyl ring unfolded as most active, with calculated IC50 values 90.3 ± 1.1µM. The scaffolds were additionally gauged for their antifungal and antibacterial activity. Among the tested strains, 5d having bromo as substituent exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity, while it also demonstrated the highest potency against Aspergillus fumigatus. Other derivatives 5b, 5e, 5i, and 5j also exhibited dual inhibition against both antibacterial and antifungal strains. The interaction pattern of derivatives clearly displayed their SAR, and their docking scores were correlated with their IC50 values. In molecular docking studies, the importance of interactions like hydrogen bonding was further asserted. The electronic factors of various substituents engendered variety of interactions between the ligands and targets implying their importance in the structures of the synthesized heterocyclic scaffolds. To conclude, the synthesized compounds had satisfactory biological activity against various important targets. Further studies are therefore encouraged by attachment of different substitutions in the structure at various positions to enhance the activity of these compounds.

Choline Chloride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents as Green Effective Medium for Quaternization Reactions.

The Menshutkin reaction represents the alkylation of tertiary amines by alkyl halide where the reactants are neutral and the products, quaternary ammonium salts, are two ions with opposite signs. The most commonly used organic solvents in quaternization reactions are volatile organic solvents (VOSs), namely acetone, anhydrous benzene, dry dichloromethane (DCM), dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetonitrile (ACN). The purpose of this work was to examine eutectic solvents as a "greener" alternative to conventional solvents so that quaternization reactions take place in accordance with the principles of green chemistry. Herein, sixteen eutectic solvents were used as replacements for volatile organic ones in quaternization reactions of isonicotinamide with substituted phenacyl bromides. The reactions were carried out at 80 °C by three synthetic approaches: conventional (4-6 h), microwave (20 min) and ultrasound (3 h). Microwave-assisted organic reactions produced the highest yields, where in several reactions, the yield was almost quantitative. The most suitable eutectic solvents were based on choline chloride (ChCl) as the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and glycerol, oxalic or levulinic acid as hydrogen bond donors (HBDs). The benefits of these three deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as a medium for quaternization reactions are the simplicity of their preparation for large-scale production, with inexpensive, available and nontoxic starting materials, as well as their biodegradability.
