Synthesis Characterization And Antimicrobial Activities Studies Of N-{2-(4-Chlorophenyl) Acetyl} Amino Alcohols Derived From Α-Amino Acids

Amino acids play important roles in organisms to sustain in living state and perform as body constituents, enzymes and antibodies. At insalubrious situations, use of amino acids derivatives as drugs in the maintenance of normal health is better choice than common unnatural synthetic drugs. This is due to the fact that the amino acids derivatives may be more bio-compatible, biodegradable and eliminate easily than others. In this sense we have made an effort and report herein the synthesis of N-{2-(4-chlorophenyl) acetyl} amino alcohols synthesised by reduction of N-{2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetyl} derivatives of (S)-amino acids such as (S)-phenylalanine, (S)-alanine, (S)-methionine, (S)-leucine, (S)-tryptophan and (S)-proline. These newly synthesized amino acids derivatives were analysed by proton, carbon-13 NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The composition of solid derivatives was determined by elemental analysis. Further, antimicrobial activities of these derivatives were assessed on usual bacteria K. aerogenes, E. coli, S. aureus and P. desmolyticum and fungi A. flavus and C. albicans. The compounds were witnessed moderate activity than authorised antibacterial and fungal agents Ciprofloxacin and Fluconazole respectively. The antimicrobial studies also revealed that, these derivatives could be better antifungal agents than antibacterial agents. Finally we compared the experimental results of antimicrobial activities with docking studies.

Identification of amino alcohols related substances of atenolol by LC-Q-TOF/MS / 中国药科大学学报

@#To identify the amino alcohols related substances in atenolol. The related substances in atenolol and its stressed samples were pre-column derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate. The separation was carried out on an Inertsil ODS-SP column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with linear gradient elution by methanol-ammonium acetate solution as the mobile phases. Electrospray positive ionization high-resolution Q-TOF/MS was used for the determination of the accurate masses and elemental compositions of the parent and fragment ions of these related substance derivatives. The structures of all the detected substances were identified by spectral analysis and synthetic analysis. Under the established conditions, atenolol and its amino alcohols related substances were well separated, and a total of 14 impurity peaks were detected and identified, of which 12 were related substances and 2 were derivatization reaction by-products. The established LC-MS method provides a reference for the examination and quality control of atenolol related substances.

In vitro antifungal activity of organic compounds derived from amino alcohols against onychomycosis

Abstract Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail caused by high densities of filamentous fungi and yeasts. Treatment for this illness is long-term, and recurrences are frequently detected. This study evaluated in vitro antifungal activities of 12 organic compounds derived from amino alcohols against standard fungal strains, such as Trichophyton rubrum CCT 5507 URM 1666, Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 11481, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. The antifungal compounds were synthesized from p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4a-4f) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (9a-9f). Minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations were determined according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute protocols M38-A2, M27-A3, and M27-S4. The amine series 4b-4e, mainly 4c and 4e compounds, were effective against filamentous fungi and yeast (MIC from 7.8 to 312 µg/mL). On the other hand, the amide series (9a-9f) did not present inhibitory effect against fungi, except amide 9c, which demonstrated activity only against C. albicans. This allowed us to infer that the presence of amine group and intermediate carbon number (8C-11C) in its aliphatic side chain seems to be important for antifungal activity. Although these compounds present cytotoxic activity on macrophages J774, our results suggest that these aromatic compounds might constitute potential as leader molecules in the development of more effective and less toxic analogs that could have considerable implications for future therapies of onychomycosis.

The in vitro activity of fatty diamines and amino alcohols against mixed amastigote and trypomastigote Trypanosoma cruzi forms

Four diamines and three amino alcohols derived from 1-decanol, 1-dodecanol and 1,2-dodecanediol were evaluated in an in vitro assay against a mixture of trypomastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Two of these compounds (6 and 7) showed better activity against both proliferative stages of T. cruzi than the positive control benznidazole, three were of similar potency (1, 2 and 5) and two were less active (3 and 4).

Zinc perchlorate-alumina: A mild, efficient catalyst for ring opening of epoxides with amines: An improved protocol for the synthesis of Β-amino alcohols.

The epoxides undergo smoothly ring-opening reaction with various amines catalyzed by zinc perchlorate on alumina under mild reaction conditions. All the reactions were carried out at room temperature to afford the corresponding b-amino alcohols in excellent yields. The catalyst was recovered and reused further reactions with very good efficiency.

Europium (II) triflate catalyzed ring opening of oxiranes: an improved method for the synthesis of Β-amino alcohols.

Epoxides undergo rapidly ring-opening reaction with various amine nucleophiles in the presence of Europium triflate. The catalyst was very active and used in 10% mole only. All the reactions were carried out at room temperature in methylene dichloride to afford the corresponding b-amino alcohols in very good yields.

Preparation and antitubercular activity of lipophilic diamines and amino alcohols

A series of diamines and amino alcohols derived from 1-dodecanol, 1-tetradecanol, 1,2-dodecanediol and 1,2-tetradecanediol were synthesized and tested for their antitubercular activity. Compounds 3, 8 and 9 were found to be the most active (MIC of 6.25 µg/mL). Nine other compounds displayed activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with a MIC of 12.5 µg/mL.
