Eight 2,3-diaryl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives retrieved from our in-house database were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against nine cancer cell lines. The results indicated that the compounds showed moderate cytotoxic activity against MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, K562 and SaOS2 cells, with K562 being the most sensitive among the four cancer cell lines. The eight 2,3-diaryl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives were also evaluated for their COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activity in vitro. The results showed that compound 3f exhibited 2-fold selectivity with IC_(50) values of 9.2 and 21.8 mmol/L against COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. Molecular docking studies on the most active compound 3f revealed a binding mode similar to that of celecoxib in the active site of the COX-2 enzyme.展开更多

These compounds could be used as side chains of semisynthesised ketolide antibiotics. The side chains have free amine group which can attached to ketolide core. Macrolides with this kind of side chains will show obvious activities against erythromycin-resistant strains. The structure of the side chains was confirmed by ^1H, ^13C NMR, MS, HMBC spectra. 2007 Ping Sheng Lei. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society. All rights reserved.展开更多

The vertical excitation energies and the electronic structures were explored. Their distinct properties of absorption and fluorescence spectra in solvent phase were explained according to the electronic coupling matrix elements calculated by the Mulliken-Hush theory. The sub-stituent on the oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines will remarkably change their spectra properties and increase the first excited-state dipole moments. The effect of protonation on the absorption and fluorescence spectra was also investigated systematically. Our study suggests that the present method is feasible to explain charge transfer excitation and predict the properties of absorption and emission spectra in the studied systems.展开更多
