	abstract = {1,3-oxazine nucleus and thiazolyl group features prominently in many biologically important natural products as well as bioactive molecules. A series of novel 2-thiazolyl substituted-2,3-dihydro-1H-naphtho [1,2-e][1,3]oxazine derivatives were designed and synthesized based on their structure-activity relationships (SARs) from 2-naphthol, substituted thiazolyl amines and formalin through ring closure by one-pot three component reaction. These derivatives were first evaluated for their inhibitory effect on HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT) enzyme activity. Out of 14 compounds, 4 showed potent inhibition of HIV-1 RT activity at significantly low concentration. Docking studies of these molecules revealed their high affinity binding to several amino acids of HIV-1 RT which are less sensitive to point mutations. Furthermore, anti-HIV activity of these molecules was analysed in a CD4(+) T cell-line, which indicates that Therapeutic Index (TI) of some of these compounds is better than Zidovudine and Efavirenz, known HIV-1 RT inhibitors. Taken together, our studies report for the first time some novel naphthoxazine derivatives with significant TI, which is through inhibition of HIV-1 RT activity. (C) 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS.

	abstract = {<p>The emergence of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDRTB) and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has necessitated the development of new drugs with short chemotherapy treatment regime and cost effectiveness. To overcome these challenges, we are reporting the synthesis of a series of 2-amino-thiophene-proline-conjugates which show potent invino and ex-vivo anti-tubercular (anti-TB) activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis (rntb) H37Ra. The synthesis of these 2-amino-thiophene-proline-conjugates was carried out via solution phase peptide coupling reactions using methyl-2aminothiophene-3-carboxylate 8 as an intermediate obtained by modified gewald reaction. Intermediate 8 was coupled with different amino acids to obtain dipeptides 3, 4, 5, 6a and 7. Priliminary anti-TB assay data encoureaged us to synthesize modified proline derivatives 6b-6k via formation of a benzoxazinone intermediate 16. Most of these conjugates are active against mtb H37Ra in both active (A) and dormant (D) strains. They are also active against drug resistant mtb H37Ra strains. A trifluoroethyl ester analog, 6i was the most potent among the series [MIC 1 mu g/mL] along with 6f and 6g [MIC 2-6 mu g/mL]. Cytotoxicity studies suggested that, these compounds are less cytotoxic to human cell lines HeLa, MCF-7, HUVEC and hence possess high selectivity index (SI). Docking studies revealed that the binding mode of most active compounds 6i, 6g and 6f is in accordance with their bioactivity studies having docking score 8.969, 8.446 and 7.865, respectively. More- over, in sllico ADME properties suggest that all the compounds possess drug like properties.</p>
