TL;DR: This review reveals that the systematic and rational modifications on isatin motif exhibited significant bio-activities which can be exploited for the development of potent novel therapeutic agents in the future studies.
Abstract: Isatin as an alkaloidal framework have consistently attracted attention of medicinal chemist towards development of wide range of novel therapeutic agents. This review report has discussed significant isatin lead molecules and their derivatives which have shown promising biological potential in recent times. The substituted isatins showing a potent pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antitubercular, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-histaminic, anti-HIV, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-Parkinson's and antidiabetic have been described in this review. The mechanism of action leading to therapeutic activity of the respective isatin derivation has also been recorded. This review reveals that the systematic and rational modifications on isatin motif exhibited significant bio-activities which can be exploited for the development of potent novel therapeutic agents in the future studies. Hence the quest to investigate more structural alterations on isatin scaffold should be continued.

TL;DR: Several synthetic coumarins, hybrids and derivatives have been found to possess promising anticancer, antitumor anti-proliferative activities, and their clinical evaluation will be critical to assess therapeutic utility.
Abstract: Introduction: Coumarins belong to the benzopyrone family. They are naturally plant-derived or synthetically obtained substances, presenting a wide variety of biological activities, offering an extented therapeutic profile. Their structural characteristics correlated to physicochemical properties define their pleiotropic biological responses.Areas covered in this review: Recent patent publications (2015–2016), describing coumarins and their derivatives are analyzed. Synthesis, biological evaluations in vitro /in vivo e.g. antiviral, anticancer, cytotoxic, antioxidant, anti-inflammmatory protocols are included. Furthermore, several pharmaceutical applications and pharmaceutical compositions are also described.Expert opinion: Several synthetic coumarins, hybrids and derivatives (azoles, sulfonyl, furazan, pyrazole etc) have been found to possess promising anticancer, antitumor anti-proliferative activities. Their clinical evaluation will be critical to assess therapeutic utility. The compounds for wh...

TL;DR: These derivatives are analogs of previously reported series whose biological activity and mode of action have been investigated and the influence of the introduction of a methyl group in the position 3 of the dihydrothiazole ring and of a chlorine atom in the positions 5 of the isatin nucleus is investigated.
Abstract: A series of 3-3-{2-[2-3-methyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-ylidene]hydrazin-1-ylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one derivatives has been designed and synthesized to study their activity on both HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1) RT (Reverse Transcriptase) associated functions. These derivatives are analogs of previously reported series whose biological activity and mode of action have been investigated. In this work we investigated the influence of the introduction of a methyl group in the position 3 of the dihydrothiazole ring and of a chlorine atom in the position 5 of the isatin nucleus. The new synthesized compounds are active towards both DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H in the µM range. The nature of the aromatic group in the position 4 of the thiazole was relevant in determining the biological activity.

TL;DR: Petrosia, Haliclona (Haplosclerida), Rhabdastrella (Tetractinellida), Coscinoderma and Hyppospongia (Dictyioceratida), were found to be the most promising genera because of their capacity for producing new bioactive compounds.
Abstract: This extensive review covers research published between 2010 and 2012 regarding new compounds derived from marine sponges, including 62 species from 60 genera belonging to 33 families and 13 orders of the Demospongia class (Porifera). The emphasis is on the cytotoxic activity that bioactive metabolites from sponges may have on cancer cell lines. At least 197 novel chemical structures from 337 compounds isolated have been found to support this work. Details on the source and taxonomy of the sponges, their geographical occurrence, and a range of chemical structures are presented. The compounds discovered from the reviewed marine sponges fall into mainly four chemical classes: terpenoids (41.9%), alkaloids (26.2%), macrolides (8.9%) and peptides (6.3%) which, along with polyketides, sterols, and others show a range of biological activities. The key sponge orders studied in the reviewed research were Dictyoceratida, Haplosclerida, Tetractinellida, Poecilosclerida, and Agelasida. Petrosia, Haliclona (Haplosclerida), Rhabdastrella (Tetractinellida), Coscinoderma and Hyppospongia (Dictyioceratida), were found to be the most promising genera because of their capacity for producing new bioactive compounds. Several of the new compounds and their synthetic analogues have shown in vitro cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activities against various tumor/cancer cell lines, and some of them will undergo further in vivo evaluation.
