In 2022,Akolkar, Hemantkumar N.; Dengale, Sujata G.; Deshmukh, Keshav K.; Karale, Bhausaheb K.; Darekar, Nirmala R.; Khedkar, Vijay M.; Shaikh, Mubarak H. published an article in Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds. The title of the article was 《Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Furan and Thiophene Containing Pyrazolyl Pyrazolines as Antimalarial Agents》.Product Details of 88-15-3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
In search for novel compounds targeting malaria, based on the in silico mol. docking binding affinity data, the novel furans containing pyrazolyl chalcones I (R = H, 4-F; Ar = Ph, thiophen-2-yl, 5-bromothiophen-2-yl) and pyrazoline derivatives II were synthesized. Compounds with thiophene and pyrazoline ring II (R = 4-F; Ar = 5-bromothiophen-2-yl) (0.47μM), II (R = H; Ar = 5-bromothiophen-2-yl) (0.47μM) and II (R = H; Ar = thiophen-2-yl) (0.21μM) exhibited excellent anti-malarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum compared with standard antimalarial drug quinine (0.83μM). To check the selectivity furthermore, compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity and none of the synthesized compound exhibited significant potency compared with the standard antibacterial drug chloramphenicol and antifungal drug nystatin resp. So, it can be resolved that the synthesized compounds show selectively antimalarial activity and have the potential to be explored further. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3Product Details of 88-15-3)
1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3) belongs to thiophenes. Specialized thiophenes can be synthesized similarly using Lawesson’s reagent as the sulfidizing agent, or via the Gewald reaction, which involves the condensation of two esters in the presence of elemental sulfur. Another method is the Volhard–Erdmann cyclization. Product Details of 88-15-3
