Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article provided an overview of the chemistry and biological importance of the cationic chalcophene derivatives (furans, thiophenes, and selenophenes) and discussed the proposed mechanisms of some interesting synthetic routes and linking structure features to biological activities.
Abstract: The present study provides an overview of the chemistry and biological importance of the cationic chalcophene derivatives (furans, thiophenes and selenophenes). The summarized literature survey includes synthetic methods, reactivity and biological activities of aryl/hetarylchalcophenes that have been reported mainly from 2001 to 2019 focusing on monochalcophenes. A discussion demonstrating the proposed mechanisms of some interesting synthetic routes and linking structure features to biological activities is presented. These classes of compounds including cationic chalcophenes possess antiproliferative, antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activities. This review highlights recent advances for arylchalcophene derivatives and may contribute to the design and structure optimization of new chalcophene derivatives in the future.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Taken together, these promising anticancer candidates are effective at very low concentrations and safe to normal cells, and most probably work through arresting the cell cycle, and therefore, they deserve further investigations.
Abstract: Three thienylpicolinamidine derivatives 4a–c were prepared from their corresponding picolinonitriles 3a–c on treatment with lithium trimethylsilylamide, LiN(TMS)2, followed by a de-protection step using ethanol/HCl (gas).
