ABSTRACT
The regioselective syntheses of novel pyrazolo[1[Formula: see text],5[Formula: see text]:1,2]pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline-2,3-dicarboxylates (6a-l) from pyrrolo([3,4-b]quinolin-2(3H)-yl)benzamides through an intramolecular Wittig reaction are described. This protocol takes advantages of mild conditions, simple workup and high yield which make this method attractive for the synthesis of these hybrid of pyrazolo[1[Formula: see text],5[Formula: see text]:1,2]pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinolines.

Zosima absinthifolia (Vent) Link (Apiaceae) is a perennial herb indigenous to Iran. It has been used as a medicinal plant from ancient time in Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. In the present work, air-dried and powdered plant roots were extracted with n-hexane, dichloromethane and methanol, respectively, using Soxhlet apparatus. The dichloromethane extract was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and preparative thin layer chromatography (P-TLC) to yield two pyranocoumarins, aegelinol and agasyllin. The antimicrobial assay was performed using agar dilution method. The results showed that purified compounds have modest to weak antibacterial and antifungal activity.
