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 New 2-(2-(4-((3,4-Dihydro-4-oxo-3-aryl quinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)acetoyloxy)-2-phenyl Acetic Acid Esters

Stereoselective diazotization of (S)-2-amino-2-phenyl acetic acid (L-phenyl glycine) (4) with NaNO₂ in 6% H₂SO₄ in a mixture of acetone and water gave optically pure (S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenyl acetic acid (L-mandelic acid) (5). Esterification, gave (S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenyl acetic acid esters (6). The latter was treated with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) in dichloromethane (DCM) to yield (S)-2-chloroacetyloxy phenyl acetic acid ester (2). In another sequence, the reaction of 2-(chloromethyl)-3-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (9) treated with N-Boc piperazine, followed by deprotection of the Boc group, to obtain 3-aryl-2-((piperazin-1-yl)methyl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (3). Reaction of 2 with 3 in the presence of K₂CO₃ and KI gave the title compound, 2-(2-(4-((3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-arylquinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl) acetoyloxy)-2-phenyl acetic acid esters (1). The structures of all the new compounds obtained in the present work are supported by spectral and analytical data.     

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.

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.

Comparative study on two 2-pyrazoline derivatives with experimental and theoretical methods

Two 2-pyrazoline derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (1) and 1-phenyl-3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, and fluorescence spectra. The crystal structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. For the two compounds, density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the structures and natural population atomic charge analysis have been performed at B3LYP/6-311G** level of theory. By using TD-DFT method, electron spectra of 1 and 2 have been predicted, which are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Comparative studies on 1 and 2 indicate that the change of substituted groups in 3-phenyl ring of pyrazoline ring will change the peak intensity and peak locations both in electron spectra and fluorescence spectra.     

Oxidation of 2-(thiazol-2-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives with an H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript>—KOH system: Convenient route to new oxirane-2-carboxamides

Reactions of aromatic ketones with 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol. Synthesis of cis- and trans-2-alkyl-2-aryl-(1,3-oxathiolane-5-methanols and 1,3-dioxolane-4-methanethiols)

Aromatic ketones react with 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol ( 1 ) in refluxing benzene under the catalytic influence of a sulfonic acid and with azeotropic removal of water to yield a mixture comprised predominantly of cis- and trans-2-alkyl-2-aryl-1,3-oxathiolane-5-methanols 7, accompanied by lesser amounts of cis- and trans-2-alkyl-2-aryl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanethiols 8 (up to 30%). It was discovered that 8 is the kinetic product and is isomerized by 4-toluenesulfonic acid in hot benzene to the thermodynamically more stable 7 . Under these conditions, ortho- and α-substituted aromatic ketones tend to produce more of 8 , which can be attributed to steric hindrance encountered by the thiol as it attacks the ketone. Ketalizations of 1-aryl-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1- as well as 1-aryl-2-(1,H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-ethanones by 1 fail under these conditions, even after 24 hours of reflux in toluene. However, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-propanone and 1-(4-bromophenyl)-4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-butanone are ketalized by 1 as expected. Interestingly, the reaction of 2-bromo-4′-chloroace-tophenone with 1 produces 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,8-dioxa-6-thiabicyclo[3.2.1]octane. Characterization of all isomers and separation of some diastereomers is described. Nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments are utilized to establish the stereochemistry of 1,3-oxathiolanes.
