RESUMEN
Fifteen novel aryl, substituted aryl and heteroaryl γ-hydroxy- (2a-e), γ-methoxyimino- (3a-e), and γ-benzyloxyimino- (4a-e) butyric acid methyl esters were investigated for their enzyme inhibition, and the synthesis of 10 compounds (3a-e, 4a-e) is given in this study. The other five compounds (2a-e) were synthesized before in another study. Compounds 3a-e and 4a-e were synthesized in this work as original compounds and characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR, IR, mass, and elemental analyses. Their (E/Z)-isomerisation ratios were analyzed by 1 H and 13 C NMR. All of them are of pure (E)-configuration. Due to the literature survey, the elastase inhibition activity was not studied for these compounds. Elastase inhibition ability was investigated in this work for five γ-hydroxy- (2a-e), five γ-methoxy- (3a-e), and five γ-benzyloxyimino- (4a-e) butyric acid methyl esters. All these 15 compounds showed elastase inhibition activity. Compound 2b was the best one and exhibited a better activity than the standard ursolic acid whereas compound 2a worked like the standard. All these compounds can be novel elastase inhibitor agents in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

A series of some 3-,6-,7-,9-,12- monohydroxy tetradecanoic acids were evaluated for their antiurease, antielastase and antioxidant activities for the first time in this study. All the test compounds exhibited antioxidant, antielastase and antiurease activities. The relationship between the position of the hydroxy group and the enzyme inhibition effect is studied in this work. The mentioned biological activities are depending on the position of hydroxy group of tetradecanoic acid isomers. The results obtained in this work are indicating that 3-,6-,7-,9-,12-monohydroxy tetradecanoic acid isomers can be used in agriculture, pharmacy and cosmetic industries due to their excellent antielastase, antiurease and antioxidant activities.

A series of new enantiomerically pure and racemic 1,3-dioxolanes 1-8 was synthesized in good yields and short reaction times by the reaction of salicylaldehyde with commercially available diols using a catalytic amount of Mont K10. Elemental analysis and spectroscopic characterization established the structure of all the newly synthesized compounds. These compounds were tested for their possible antibacterial and antifungal activity. Biological screening showed that all the tested compounds, except 1, show excellent antifungal activity against C. albicans, while most of the compounds have also shown significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. faecalis and P. aeruginosa.
