  • Biochemical and pharmacological characterization of isatin and its derivatives: from structure to activity
    Pharmacological Reports, 2013
    Co-Authors: Parvaneh Pakravan, Soheila Kashanian, Mohammad M. Khodaei, Frances J. Harding
    Abstract:

    Isatin, k1H-indole-2,3-dione, kis a Heterocyclic Compound of significant importance in medicinal chemistry. It is a synthetically versatile molecule, ka precursor for a large number of pharmacologically active Compounds. Isatin and its derivatives have aroused great attention in recent years due to their wide variety of biological activities, krelevant to application as insecticides and fungicides and in a broad range of drug therapies, kincluding anticancer drugs, kantibiotics and antidepressants. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the pharmacological activities of isatin and its synthetic and natural derivatives. Molecular modifications to tailor the properties of isatin and its derivatives are also discussed.

    Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2015
    Co-Authors: S P Prasannakumar, H G Gowtham, P Hariprasad, K Shivaprasad, S R Niranjana
    Abstract:

    UNLABELLED The bacterial strain designated as WGR-UOM-BT1 isolated from rhizosphere of Rauwolfia serpentina exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal activity and also improved early plant growth. Based on morphological, biochemical and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, the strain BT1 was identified as Delftia tsuruhatensis (KF727978). Under in vitro conditions, the strain BT1 suppressed the growth of wide range of fungal phytopathogens. Purified antimicrobial metabolite from the strain BT1 was identified as nitrogen-containing Heterocyclic Compound, 'amino(5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-yl)methanol' (AMTM), with molecular mass of 340•40 and molecular formula of C17 H19 NO3 S. The strain BT1 was positive for rhizosphere colonization (tomato), IAA production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity and phosphate solubilization. Under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, the strain BT1 promoted plant growth and suppressed foliar and root fungal pathogens of tomato. Therefore, antimicrobial and disease protection properties of strain BT1 could serve as an effective biological control candidate against devastating fungal pathogens of vegetable plants. Besides, the production of IAA, P solubilization and ACC deaminase activity enhance its potential as a biofertilizer and may stabilize the plant performance under fluctuating environmental conditions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY In this study, we reported that Delftia tsuruhatensis WGR-UOM-BT1 strain has the plant growth promotion activities such as rhizosphere colonization (tomato), IAA production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity and phosphate solubilization. This bacterial strain was found producing an antimicrobial nitrogen-containing Heterocyclic Compound identified as 'amino(5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-yl)methanol' [C17 H19 NO3 S] (AMTM), which is new to the bacterial world.

  • a novel broad spectrum anticancer Compound containing the imidazo 4 5 e 1 3 diazepine ring system
    Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2010
    Co-Authors: Min Xie, Ravi K Ujjinamatada, Mariola Sadowska, Rena G Lapidus, Martin J Edelman, Ramachandra S Hosmane
    Abstract:

    Abstract Synthesis and broad-spectrum anticancer activity of a novel Heterocyclic Compound 1 containing the title imidazo[4,5- e ][1,3]diazepine ring system have been reported. The Compound shows potent in vitro antitumor activity with low micromolar IC 50 ’s against prostate, lung, breast, and ovarian cancer cell lines tested. The long alkyl chain attached to the six-position of the Heterocyclic ring of 1 appears to be necessary for the observed biological activity.
