Novel hydrazones based on (-)-carvone were synthesized via condensation of terpenoid with 4-R-phenoxyacetic acid hydrazides. The structure of target compounds was established by FT-IR, Raman, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR spectral analysis, FAB/ESI mass spectrometry. (-)-Carvone hydrazones were proven to exist as Z/E geometrical isomers about C=N bond using ion mobility-tandem mass spectrometry (IM-MS/MS). Single crystal X-ray diffraction study was applied to determine molecular and crystal structure of compound 3e. Hydrazones 3a-3e were evaluated as potential anticonvulsant agents after their oral administration against maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice. Analgesic activity of compounds was investigated by topical application on models of capsaicin and AITC-induced pain. The present findings indicate that (-)-carvone derivatives afforded seizure protection both at short (1 h) and long (24 h) time period by blocking electroshock-and chemical-induced convulsions.Hydrazones binding to TRPA1/TRPV1 ion channels was proposed as possible mechanism explaining significant analgesic effect of compounds.

A series of sp3‐enriched 2,2‐disubstituted 1,2‐thiazinane‐5‐one 1,1‐dioxides (including spirocyclic derivatives) has been synthesized through the CSIC [Carbanion mediated Sulfonate (Sulfonamido) Intramolecular Cyclization] reaction strategy. In particular, 2,2‐disubstituted alkyl 3‐aminopropanoates were subsequently sulfonylated with mesyl chloride followed by alkylation with methyl iodide to give the key precursor 2,2‐disubstituted methyl 3‐(methylsulfonamido)propanoates. The latter were treated with sodium hydride and underwent the intramolecular sulfa‐Dieckmann cyclization yielding the target 4,4‐disubstituted 1,2‐thiazinane‐5‐one 1,1‐dioxides (so‐called β‐keto‐δ‐sultams). The structure of the target compounds was confirmed by an X‐ray diffraction study.

A method for the synthesis of 4- (1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-amine was developed, and the electronic and spatial structure of this molecule was studied theoretically and experimentally. The study of interaction energies between molecules by quantum-chemical calculations allows us to recognize different levels of crystal structure organization and describe the interaction types causing their formation. The classic N-H…N and C-H…N hydrogen bonds play the main role in all the studied crystals forming the primary basic structural motif. Their role is comparable with the role of the stacking interactions. The molecular docking study predicted that the studied compound may exhibit anti-hepatitis B activity, and experimental in vitro studies confirmed that it is a potent HBV inhibitor with IC50 in a low micromolar range.
