Summary: A series of 1,2,3-trisubstituted indolizines were screened for anti-tubercular activity, showing effectiveness against susceptible and multidrug-resistant strains. In silico docking study identified potential molecular targets for the indolizines, while safety studies demonstrated their non-toxic nature. The findings suggest that these compounds could serve as promising inhibitors for combating drug-sensitive and drug-resistant MTB strains.

Summary: A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of indolizines using acid as a catalyst in a two-component reaction was developed. The reaction efficiently forms a new ring in one-step, yielding products in a range of 8-95% under metal-free conditions. Substituted indolizine derivatives were synthesized, with compound 3a yielding the best results at 95% and 82% under general and microwave irradiation conditions, respectively. Spectral analysis confirmed the structures of the synthesized compounds, with compound 3m further characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence properties were correlated with substituent groups on the indolizine rings.

Summary: An efficient and facile method of synthesizing 3-benzoyl indolizines using a microwave-driven two-component reaction is developed. The desired products were obtained with a yield of 74-89% under microwave irradiation, and the obtained yield was compared with the conventional synthesis method after column purification. Novel derivatives of 3-benzoyl indolizine were synthesized using microwave irradiation. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS.

Summary: The highly efficient direct asymmetric allylic substitution (AAS) reaction of indolizine derivatives with allylic alcohols was achieved by combining a chiral iridium complex catalyst with Lewis acid under mild conditions, delivering enantioenriched products in high yields and excellent selectivities. This protocol stands out for its availability of starting materials, mild conditions, broad substrate scope, high yields, excellent selectivity, and easy scalability, providing an efficient approach for the synthesis of chiral indolizines.

Summary: This study has successfully developed a series of curcumin derivatives through modifications. The results showed that one derivative with PEG chains and a BF2 moiety exhibited higher cytotoxicity against bladder cancer cells and stronger anticancer effects under hypoxic conditions. However, PEGylation did not improve cellular uptake, and the lack of serum proteins limited intracellular uptake. The regulation of cell cycle and stress-related proteins may be involved in the anticancer mechanism. In conclusion, PEGylated curcumin derivatives are more effective anti-bladder cancer drugs than the parent compound, and derivative 5 deserves further investigation to elucidate its anticancer mechanism under hypoxic conditions.

Summary: The biologically active compound 3-aminopropylsilatrane underwent an aza-Michael reaction to form mono- and diadducts containing functional groups. Characterization of these compounds revealed their bioavailability and druglike properties, as well as their antineoplastic and macrophage-colony-stimulating activity. The synthesized compounds exhibited inhibitory and stimulating effects on the growth of pathogenic bacteria in high and low concentrations, respectively.

Summary: A series of novel macrocyclic derivatives with aniline pyrimidine scaffolds were designed and synthesized based on EGFR-TKI Osimertinib as a lead compound. The structures of these derivatives were identified, and their pharmacological activities were evaluated. Compound H1 with a 17-membered ring exhibited the best inhibitory activity against EGFRL858R/T790M and EGFRd746-750/T790M, while compound H7 with a 17-membered ring showed the most potent anti-proliferative activity against BaF3-EGFRdel19/T790M, comparable to Osimertinib.

Summary: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a key factor in the human antimicrobial system, oxidizing microorganisms through the production of hypochlorous acid. However, MPO can also be released outside cells and cause tissue damage. It has been associated with inflammatory diseases and is considered a potential therapeutic target. In this study, various derivatives were designed and tested for their inhibitory activity on MPO. Among them, C19 was found to be the most active inhibitor on both chlorination and peroxidation cycles.
