"Purine-derived compounds are widely investigated as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors that have broad applications in the design of pharmaceuticals for treating diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cancers. Towards the goal of effective AGE-inhibitors, and neuroprotector compounds we have synthesized a series of novel purine-based triazoles and investigated their neuroprotective effects, using SHSY-3Y human neuroblastoma cell line. Through these studies, we have identified purine-based neuroprotector compounds that favorably modulate oxidative stress induced by the Fenton reaction-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The C(sp²−H)-trifluoromethylation of hydrazones would give access to the αtrifluoromethylated hydrazones that can serve as intermediates in the synthesis …
