In this study, a group of 4-substituted benzoyltaurinamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and investigated for their anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines and one nontumorigenic cell line by MTT assay. Among the final compounds, methoxyphenyl derivatives 14, 15, 16 were found to be effective against all the tested cancerous cell lines with promising selectivity. The most active compounds were further evaluated to determine the molecular mechanism of their anticancer activity by using western blot assay and the Annexin V-FITC/PI test. Compound 14 (in SH-SY5Y and MDA-MB-231 cell lines) and 15 (in SH-SY5Y cell line) were found to induce intrinsic apoptotic pathway by upregulating BAX, caspase-3, and caspase-9, while downregulating Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL expression levels. According to mechanistic studies, compounds displayed their anticancer activity via three different mechanisms: a. caspase-dependent, b. caspase-independent, and c. caspase-dependent pathway that excluded caspase-9 activation. As a result, this study provides interesting data which can be used to design new taurine-based anticancer derivatives.

Gossypol is a part of the cotton plant's defense system against pathogens and herbivorous insects. To discover gossypol analogs with broad spectrum and high activity, a series of gossypol alkylamine Schiff base, oxime and hydrazone derivatives were synthesised and bioassayed. The biological results indicated that most of these derivatives exhibited higher anti-TMV activity than gossypol. Interestingly, the activities of compounds 10, 15, 18, 20, 23 and 26 were much higher than that of ribavirin. Furthermore, compound 26, which was low toxicity to rat, showed better activity than control plant virus inhibitors in the field. Additionally, allyl amine Schiff base (9) displayed remarkable insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata, Helicoverpa armigera and Ostrinia nubilalis, whereas (pyridin-3-yl)methanamine Schiff base (13) showed excellent activity against Culex pipiens pallens. The fungicidal results revealed that all of compounds exhibited good activity against Physalospora piricola.
