Studies on Pyrazine Derivatives,XLV: Synthesis,Reactions, and Tuberculostatic Activity of N-Methyl-N′-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazinecarbodithioic Acid Methyl Ester

Methyldithiocarbonyl derivative 2 of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid N′-methyl-hydrazide 1 was synthesized by methylation of CS₂ adduct. Benzylamine caused the decomposition of compound 2 to pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid benzylamide 5 and 1,3-dibenzylthiourea 6. N-methyl-N′-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazinecarbodithioic acid methyl ester 2 were evidenced to cyclize to 3-methyl-5-pyrazin-2-yl-3H-[1, 3, 4]oxadiazole-2-thione 8 in the presence of triethylamine. In the reactions with secondary amines such as morpholine, pyrrolidine and phenylpiperazine pyrazinoyl derivatives (9–11) of thiosemicarbazide were obtained. Hydrazine, methylhydrazine, aminoalcohols, and N-alkylamino-substituted cyclic amines reacted with cyclization to 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones 12, 13, and 18–22. Synthesized compounds exhibited low tuberculostatic activity in vitro (MIC 50–100 μg/mL).

2-chloro-3-cyanopyrazine was a substrate in the syntheses of some potentially tuberculostatic pyrazine derivatives. This compound, upon action of secondary amines, pyrazine derivatives 1-phenyl-, 1-piperonyl-, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-, 1-(2-pyridil)-, and 1-benzylpiperazine, gave the corresponding nitriles ( 1a–e ). Compounds 1c , d , e were changed into the amidoximes ( 2c , d , e ) by hydroxylamine action. Derivatives 1a–e were transformed into the corresponding thioamides ( 3a–e ) when treated with ammonium polysulphide. Two of these, thioamides, 3a and 3b , in the cyclization reactions with ethylenediamine gave the imidazolines ( 4a , b ) with phenacyl bromide—the thiazole derivatives ( 5a , b ). The compounds obtained were tested in vitro for their tuberculostatic activity. The tuberculostatic activity of compound 5b was the highest: MIC 3.1–7.8 μ g/mL.

Abstract

A series of symmetrical 1,3-bis thiourea 1a–e and 1,4-bis thiourea derivatives 2a–e have been successfully synthesized from the reactions of amines with 3-acetylbenzoyl isothiocyanate and 4-acetylbenzoyl isothiocyanate, respectively. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity by turbidimetric method using gram-negative bacteria (E. coli ATCC 8739) using turbidimetric method. The newly synthesized bis-thiourea derivatives bearing aryl side chains showed good antibacterial activity against E. coli. The effect of the molecular structure of the synthesized compounds on the antibacterial activity is discussed.     

Synthesis of some novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines and their fused derivatives

New pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-3-carbonitriles 4a,b were obtained via cyclocondensation of 5-amino-3-cyanomethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1) with enaminones of 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives 2a,b in refluxing glacial acetic acid. Condensation of compounds 4a,b with various aromatic aldehydes furnished the corresponding arylidene derivatives 6a–j. On the other hand, condensation of 4a,b with o-hydroxybenzaldehydes yielded the polyheterocyclic compounds 10a–h. Coupling of compounds 4a,b with aryldiazonium chlorides led to formation of 2-arylhydrazono derivatives 12a–h. Also, reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate, followed by addition of ethyl chloroacetate and chloroacetonitrile, afforded the polyheterocyclic compounds based on pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline core. The reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate and elemental sulfur gave the thiazole-2-thione derivatives 25a,b. The reaction of enamines of compounds 4a,b with each of hydrazine hydrate and guanidine hydrochloride afforded pyrazolo[4″,3″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-8-ones 30a,b and pyrimido[5″,4″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-9(10H)-ones 33a,b, respectively. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectral data. The plausible mechanisms have been postulated to account for their formation.

Benzofuran has antifungal activity as the inhibitor of N‐myristoyltransferase. Twenty‐nine novel benzofuran‐semicarbazide hybrids were designed and synthesized by principle of drug combinationatory. On this basis, the benzofuran ring was simplified to a resorcinol structure, and sixteen novel 1,3‐dialkoxybenzene‐semicarbazide hybrids were designed and synthesized. All structures of the target compounds were characterized by HRMS and NMR. The in vitro antifungal activity of target compounds was evaluated using the microdilution broth method against eight strains of pathogenic fungi with fluconazole as positive control.

Notably, compounds Z20 , Z22 , K10 , K11 and K16 also displayed different activities against two fluconazole‐resistance strains that were isolated from AIDS patients. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against fluconazole‐resistant strains were in the range of 2—8 μg/mL and 4—32μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to investigate the binding affinities and interaction modes between the target compound and N‐myristoyltransferase.

The dithioacids were cyclized, in the reaction with hydrazine, into the 4-ami-no-1,2,4-triazolo-2-thiol derivatives ( 5 , 31 ). One of these compounds ( 31 ) was transformed into the 1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivative ( 33 ). The compo-unds 6–9 were also exposed to the condensation with aldehydes. 4-phenylpipera-zinocarbothiohydrazide ( 6 ) was exposed to the action of isothiocyanates, which gave the compounds 16–20 , and these cyclized to the 1,3,4-thiadiazoloamino derivatives ( 21–23 ).

Also, a series of 2-iminochromene derivatives (7–9) were synthesized through the condensation reaction of cyanoacetamide derivative (2) with salicylaldehyde derivatives. The structure of the new compounds were confirmed based on elemental analysis and spectral data. These compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) (µg/mL) of the most active (4), (5b), and (8) derivatives were determined. The MIC values between 7.81 and 31.26 µg/mL against bacterial species for (8) derivative, and upon comparison to tetracycline exhibited a positive control MIC (31.26–62.6 µg/mL). Besides, the activity against C. albicans (ATCC 1023) showed a MIC value of 15.63 µg/mL, which is similar to that of Amphotericin B.     

Radical Cyclization Reactions via Manganese(III) Acetate Leading to 2‐Thienyl‐Substituted Dihydrofuran Compounds

The 2‐thienyl‐substituted 4,5‐dihydrofuran derivatives 3 – 8 were obtained by the radical cyclization reaction of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds 1a – 1f with 2‐thienyl‐substituted conjugated alkenes 2a – 2e by using [Mn(OAc)₃] (Tables 1–5). In this study, reactions of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds 1a – 1e with alkenes 2a – 2c gave 4,5‐dihydrofuran derivatives 3 – 5 in high yields (Tables 1–3). Also the cyclic alkenes 2d and 2e gave the dihydrobenzofuran compounds, i.e., 6 and 7 in good yields (Table 4). Interestingly, the reaction of benzoylacetone (=1‐phenylbutane‐1,3‐dione; 1f ) with some alkenes gave two products due to generation of two stable carbocation intermediates (Table 5).
