Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Some Novel 1,8-Naphthyridine Derivatives
Abstract:
A series of substituted 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives was synthesized to be used as cytotoxic and antioxidant agents by applying 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazide (1) as the starting material. Compound 1 was reacted with different reagents to afford the corresponding 3-heterarylcarbonyl-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives 3-19 which were tested for their in vitro cytotoxicity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma, and antioxidant activity. Compound 15 showed the best cytotoxicity and antioxidant activity.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Lagging Strand Synthesis
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...
Transfer RNA Synthesis
Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...
