Investigating biological activity spectrum for novel styrylquinazoline analogues.

TLDR
The structure-activity relationships (SAR) between the chemical structure and biological effects of the synthesized compounds are described and the relationships between the RP-HPLC retention parameter logK (the logarithm of capacity factor K) and logP data calculated by available programs are illustrated.
Abstract
In this study, series of ring-substituted 2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-one and 4-chloro-2-styrylquinazoline derivatives were prepared. The syntheses of the discussed compounds are presented. The compounds were analyzed by RP-HPLC to determine lipophilicity. They were tested for their inhibitory activity on photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. Primary in vitro screening of the synthesized compounds was also performed against four mycobacterial strains and against eight fungal strains. Several compounds showed biological activity comparable with or higher than that of the standard isoniazid. It was found that the electronic properties of the R substituent, and not the total lipophilicity of the compound, were decisive for the photosynthesis-inhibiting activity of tested compounds.

The Spectral Determination of Chlorophylls a and b, as well as Total Carotenoids, Using Various Solvents with Spectrophotometers of Different Resolution*

TL;DR: In this paper, specific absorption coefficients for individual carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b, as well as the E 1% 1cm values for combined carotensoids, have been (re)estimated using 6 solvents (80 % acetone, chloroform, diethyl ether, dimethyl formamide and methanol) using two different types of spectrophotometer (0.1-0.5 nm and 1-4 nm band pass resolution).

A diarylquinoline drug active on the ATP synthase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TL;DR: A diarylquinoline, R207910, is identified that potently inhibits both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and mutants selected in vitro suggest that the drug targets the proton pump of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase.

Physicochemical Profiling (Solubility, Permeability and Charge State)

TL;DR: This review will consider recent developments in physicochemical profiling used to identify candidate molecules with physical properties related to good oral absorption and focus on the emerging instrumental methods for the measurement of the physicochemical parameters Pe, S, pKa, R, log P, and log D (and their pH-profiles).

Relationship between inhibitor binding by chloroplasts and inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport.

TL;DR: The results suggest that triazines, triazinones, pyridazinone derivatives, biscarbamates and phenylureas interfere with the same electron carrier of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, according to the same molecular mechanism.
