Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazole derivatives as anticancer agents

Abstract

New N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-2-(substituted thio)acetamides were synthesized and studied for their anticancer activity. The title compounds were procured by reacting 2-chloro-N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide with some mercapto derivatives. The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and LC-MS/MS spectral data and elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds were investigated for their antitumor activities against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and NIH/3T3 mouse embryoblast cell line for determining their selective cytotoxicity. 2-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4c) showed high selectivity, and whose IC₅₀ value was determined as 23.30?±?0.35?µM and >1000?µM against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and NIH/3T3 mouse embryoblast cell lines, respectively. 2-[(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4a) and 2-[(1-Methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4c) exhibited the highest apoptosis percentage among those tested, but not as high as the standard, cisplatin.     

Synthesis of novel azabicyclo derivatives containing a thiazole moiety and their biological activity against pine-wood nematodes

Abstract

To explore a new skeleton with nematicidal activity, a series of novel azabicyclo derivatives containing a thiazole moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their nematicidal activities. The bioassay results against pine-wood nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) showed that most of the title compounds displayed nematicidal activity at a concentration of 40?mg/L. Especially, the title compounds2-((8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yl)oxy)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazole (7e), 2-((8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yl)thio)-4-phenylthiazole (10a) and 2-((8-methyl-8-azabicyclo [3.2.1]octan-3-yl)thio)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazole (10e) exhibited more than 90% mortality against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.

By cycloaddition of arylazides to acetylacetone are obtained derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole. In the reaction of 1-[5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] ethanones (IIa–IIe) and 1-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl] ethanones (VIIa-VIIe) with isatin are obtained 2-[1-(R-phenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-4-quinolinecarboxylic acids (IIIa–IIIe) and 2-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl] -4-quinolinecarboxylic acids (IXa, IXb), respectively. We found that 1-[5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] ethanones (IIa–IIe) readily transform into [5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] acetic acids (IVa–IVc) by the method of Wilgerodt-Kindler. The (5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)acetic acid reacts with 5-phenyl-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiol affording 6-[(5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methyl]-3-phenyl[1,2,4] triazolo[3,4-b] [1,3,4] thiadiazole (VI).

X-ray structures and pharmacological activities of lidocaine derivatives

The molecular and crystal structures of the lidocaine analogs 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-2′-methylacetanilide (1), 2-(3,5-dimethyl-4-iodo-pyrazol-1-yl)-2′-methylacetanilide (2), 2-(3,5-dimethyl-4-iodo-pyrazol-1-yl)-3′-methylacetanilide (3), and 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-4′-methylacetanilide (4), are reported, with a summary of their pharmacological activities. In this series, the moiety comprising the heterocyclic ring and the amide alkyl linker displays a common conformation. Molecules of 1–4 form identical hydrogen bonded motifs in their crystals, namely linear chains via intermolecular N–H···O=C hydrogen bonding. Moderate anesthetic and anti-arrhythmic potencies recorded for 1–4 relative to lidocaine are countered by their significantly lower toxicities.

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel class aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction

In this study, we synthesized a new series of substituted aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24) in yields ranging from 42 to 70% with an interesting mechanism that involves internal nucleophilic substitution followed by an S_N2-type nucleophilic substitution. First, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanone (3) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (1) with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Then, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanol (4) was synthesized by a reduction reaction of this compound using NaBH₄. Finally, 5-methyl-3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24), which are the target compounds, were synthesized from the reaction of this compound (4), which is a secondary alcohol with various alkyl halides (5a-n) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH). This study presents an interesting reaction mechanism related to the synthesis of aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives that is not recorded in the literature.

Abstract

A series of novel anthranilic diamide derivatives containing pyridylpyrazole and iminodithiocarbamate or thiosemicarbazone motifs were synthesized via multi-step reactions. The structures of seven title compounds (methyl 2-(2-(3-bromo-1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamido)-5-chloro-3- methylbenzylidene)hydrazinecarbodithioate 7 and 3-bromo-N-(2-((2-substitutedcarbamothioylhydrazono)methyl)-4-chloro-6-methylphenyl)-1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide 8a-8f) were confirmed by melting points, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. The bioassays showed that some of the compounds exhibited modest insecticidal activities against oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata Walker), particularly, compound 8b (3-bromo-N-(4-chloro-2-methyl-6-((2-(methylcarbamothioyl)hydrazono)methyl)phenyl)-1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide) held 100% and 30% larvicidal activity at the concentration of 25?mg/L and 10?mg/L, respectively. In addition, several compounds displayed favorable fungicidal activities against Alternaria solani Sorauer and Physalospora piricola at 50?μg/mL, and were comparable with the controls Chlorothalonil and Triadimefon. The results in this paper will provide important information for further research and development of sulfur-containing heterocyclic agrochemicals.

The formation of these compounds was further confirmed by the condensation of acetophenone/acetone thiosemicarbazones with 4-methyl-7-methoxy-8-(2-bromoacetyl)coumarin ( 1 ) in anhydrous ethanol in a two-step process. Similarly 8-[2-[N′-(benzylidene)hydrazine]-thiazol-4-yl]-7-methoxy-4-methyl-chromen-2-ones ( 6 , 7 , and 8 ) have been prepared by the condensation of 4-methyl-7-methoxy-8-(2-bromoacetyl)chromen-2-one with thiosemicarbazide and various aromatic aldehydes in a single step without any solvent. The formation of these compounds was further confirmed by the condensation of appropriately substituted benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones with 4-methyl-7-methoxy-8-(2-bromoacetyl)coumarin in anhydrous ethanol. 4-Methyl-7-methoxy-8-(2-bromoacetyl) chromen-2-one (1) upon condensation with 3,5-dimercapto-4-amino-s-triazole in anhydrous ethanol resulted in the formation of 8-(3-mercapto-3H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]thiadiazin-6-yl)-7-methoxy-4-methyl chromen-2-one (9).
