692	Photo induced synthesis of methyl derivative of cryptosanguinolentine		A simpler method to synthesize the methyl derivative of an alkaloid cryprosanguinolentine is described. 4-Hydroxy-2-methylquinoline is iodized using iodine, potassium iodide and aqueous sodium hydroxide and dehydroxyhalogenated with phosphorous oxychloride. The respective anilinoquinoline is prepared and cyclized by UV irradiation. Upon selective methylation 5,6-dimethyl-5H-indolo[3,2-c]quinoline is produced which is utilized as a DNA intercalating agent.

705	New 2-aminopyridine containing acid anthraquinone dyes, their application and microbial studies		New 2-aminopyiridine based anthraquinone acid dyes have been synthesized by condensation of bromamine acid with 2-aminopyirdine to produced 1-amino-4-(2-aminopyirdinyl) anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid which is diazotized and coupled with various naphthalene based acid coupling components to get new series of acid anthraquinone dyes. The dyed fibres showed moderate to very good fastness to light, washing and rubbing. All the dyes have been screened for their antimicrobial activity.

712	Microwave-assisted synthesis of some new biquinoline compounds catalyzed by DMAP and their biological activities		A series of new biquinoline derivatives 4a-t have been synthesized by reaction of [(2-chloro-3-quinolyl) methylene]methane-1,1-dicarbonitrile 2a-d and 3-arylamino-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-one 3a-e under microwave irradiation catalyzed by 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP). The synthesized compounds 4a-t have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activity.

	Notes
718	Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 4-[5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-dihydropyridines and 4-[5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones		New derivatives of dihydropyridine and dihydropyrimidone are synthesized by Hantzsch cyclization and modified Bignelli’s cyclization, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of these compounds is also described. The compounds 2a, 3d, 3e and 3f show good activity.

725	Synthesis and antiulcer activity study of 1,4-dihydropyridines and their Mannich bases with sulphanilamide		Synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines 1a-e has been performed following Hantzsch pyridine synthesis.Reaction with paraformaldehyde and sulfanilamide yielded 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1-[(4′-sulfamoyl-1′-amino methyl) phenyl]-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(substituted)-pyridines 2a-e. The antiulcer activity of 1,4-dihydropyridines is enhanced significantly on conjunction with sulfanilamide. Substitution of methoxy group increased the antiulcer potential of the compounds.
