Synthesis of New N-Sulfonyl Monocyclic β-Lactams and the Investigation of Their Antibacterial Activities

New monocyclic β-lactams 4–6 were synthesized by a ketene-imine [2+2] cycloaddition reaction. The prepared monocyclic β-lactams 4–6 were cleaved by ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) to give NH-β-lactams 7–9. The NH-β-lactams were converted to N-sulfonyl β-lactams 10–21 by treatment with four different sulfonyl chlorides in the presence of Et₃N and 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Some of these monocyclic β-lactams were active against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

3-Thiolated 2-azetidinones: synthesis and in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities

A series of 3-thiolated β-lactams were synthesized by [2+2] ketene-imine cycloaddition reaction from S-substituted mercaptoacetic acids and Schiff bases. Then, some of the 3-methylthio β-lactams were converted to 3-(methylsulfinyl) β-lactams and 3-(methylsulfonyl) β-lactams using m-CPBA under different reaction conditions. All the compounds were characterized by spectral data and elemental analyses and were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against pathogenic strains including Staphylococcus aureus (Methicillin resistant strain). The preliminary screening results indicated that some of these compounds demonstrated moderate to very good antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

Stereoselective synthesis of trans-3-functionalized-4-pyrazolo[5,1-b]thiazole-3-carboxylate substituted β-lactams: Potential synthons for diverse biologically active agents

Abstract

An efficient protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of pyrazolo[5,1-b]thiazole-3-carboxylate tethered β-lactam conjugates 8a–j from novel pyrazolo [5,1-b]thiazole-3-carboxylate substituted Schiff’s bases 6a–f is reported here. The reaction between various ketene precursors and novel Schiff’s bases 6a–f afforded exclusive formation of trans-β-lactams 8a–j. The substrate scope of this approach was investigated extensively by varying different groups (R, Z). All the novel compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, such as FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, elemental analysis, ¹³C NMR (DEPT-135), and mass spectrometry in representative cases. Single crystal X-ray crystallographic study of trans-ethyl 7-(1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-3-phenoxyazetidin-2-yl)-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrazolo[5,1-b]thiazole-3-carboxylate 8a has confirmed the molecular structure and the stereochemical outcome. To the best of our knowledge, the synthesis of such types of Schiff’s bases and β-lactam conjugates has not been reported so far.     

Synthesis of some novel 3,4,5-trisubstituted triazole derivatives bearing quinoline ring and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity

Abstract

Some new 3,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The lead compounds were obtained starting from 8-hydroxyquinoline and ethyl 2-chloroacetate. The obtained ester compound (1) first reacted with hydrazine hydrate (2) then with phenyl isothiocyanate (3). Ring closure by KOH led to 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivative (4). Lastly, it reacted with 2-chloro-N-(substituted (benzo)/thiazole)acetamide derivatives to obtain the final compounds (5a–j). The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry techniques and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against seven bacteria and four fungi. As a result of the activity studies, it was observed that compounds N-(6-nitrobenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[4-phenyl-5-((quinolin-8-yloxy)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]thio]acetamide (5a) and N-(6-fluorobenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[4-phenyl-5-((quinolin-8-yloxy)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]thio]acetamide (5d) were the most active molecules. Also, the antifungal activity of the compounds was found to be higher than their antibacterial activity although lower than the standard drug’s potential. Additionally, the physicochemical properties of the compounds were calculated which were evaluated to be at a suitable range for oral administration.     

Stereoselective synthesis and characterization of novel trans-4-(thiophenyl)pyrazolyl-β-lactams and their C–3 functionalization

A stereoselective synthesis and C–3 functionalization of a long series of novel hybrid 4-(thiophenyl)pyrazolyl-β-lactams have been carried out. The divergent substrate scope and mechanistic insights were examined to delineate the generality of reaction that favored trans-β-lactams 4a-q almost exclusively in all cases. The C–3 functionalization was achieved by Lewis acid assisted nucleophilic substitution reaction of cis-3-chloro-β-lactams 6a-e to afford cis-3-monosubstituted-β-lactams 7a-e. The cis stereochemistry of β-lactams 7a-e was further established by stereospecific desulfurization with Raney-nickel, in representative cases (7a,b), leading to the formation of cis-β-lactams 8a,b. The structures and stereochemical assignments for synthesized β-lactams have been unambiguously confirmed using FT-IR, 1D NMR (¹H and ¹³C), 2D NMR (¹H–¹H COSY, ¹H–¹³C HSQC and ¹³C DEPT–135), elemental analysis (CHN), mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and single crystal X-ray crystallography, in representative cases (4b,e). The cis and trans configuration of the hydrogen/chloro/nucleophile substituent at C–3 was assigned with respect C4–H of the β-lactam ring.     

Synthesis of some mono- and bis-spiro-β-lactams of benzylisatin

Some new mono- and bis-spiro-β-lactams of benzylisatin were prepared by Staudinger’s ketene-imine [2+2] cycloaddition reaction. The cycloadducts were characterized by spectral data including ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and mass spectra. The configuration of benzylisatin and one of mono-spiro-β-lactams (5a) was established by X-ray crystal analysis.     

New isomeric N‐substituted hydrazones of 2‐, 3‐ and 4‐pyridinecarboxaldehydes and methyl‐3‐pyridylketone

Twelve compounds unknown in the literature N‐(E)‐2‐stilbenyloxymethylenecarbonyl substituted hydrazones of 2‐, 3‐ and 4‐pyridinecarboxaldehydes, as well as methyl‐3‐pyridylketone have been prepared. The stereochemical behavior of these compounds in dimethyl‐d₆ sulfoxide solution has been studied by ¹H NMR technique. The E geometrical isomers and cis/trans amide conformers have been found for N‐substituted hydrazones 1–12. EI induced mass spectral fragmentation of these compounds were also investigated. The data obtained create the basis for distinguishing isomers.     

Transition Metal Complexes of Azo-8-Hydroxyquinoline Derivatives as Antimicrobial Agents

Some New azo sulphonamide derivatives containing 8-hydroxyquinoline moiety and their complexes with some transition metal ions vz. Fe⁺³, Co⁺², Ni⁺², Cu⁺², and Hg⁺² have been prepared and characterised. The stereochemistry as well as the type of bonding around the metal ions were determined on the basis of microanalysis, IR and UV-VIS spectra, conductivity and magnetic moment measurements; the thermal behaviour of the complexes was also studied. The metal ions coordinate exclusively to the 8-hydroxyquinoline moiety. The biological activity of the complexes was tested against a number of bacteria. Chelation of the metal ions to the ligands induces a remarkable increase in their antimicrobial activity.

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DIBROMO (PHENYL-2-PYRIDYL DIMETHYLHYDRAZONE)PALLADIUM(II)

Abstract

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds play an important role in several biological processes. Furthermore, their biological activity seems often to depend upon interaction with a metal ion. Interest in the study of hydrazones and their metal complexes has been growing because of their physiological activity, coordination capability and application in analytical chemistry.^1,2 Many hydrazones and their metallic derivatives show very interesting biological activity, e.g., as antitumour or anticonvulsant agents, and behave as cytotoxic compounds toward tumour cells.³ During the past few years, in addition to platinum compounds, coordination compounds of palladium(II) and (IV) seem to be promising in cancer chemotherapy.⁴ Due to the biological activity of heterocyclic hydrazones and in continuing our systematic investigations of the platinum group metals with hydrazones and generally with heterocyclic nitrogen donor ligands,^5–10 we report here the crystal structure of dibromo(phenyl-2-pyridyldimethylhydrazone) palladium(II).     

Liquid chromatographic study of two methoxypsoralen isomers with β-cyclodextrin

Abstract

The inclusion into β-cyclodextrin (β-Cyd) by the two methoxypsoralen isomers (5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP) and 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP)) has been extensively studied by reverse phase liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Some important quantitative data concerning the complexation in a dynamic flow system have been drawn. The stoichiometry of the complex formation (1:1 in all instances), and the affinity constants with the β-Cyd cavity (K_f) of the two guest compounds, have been established. By taking into account the competitive effect of the organic modifier of the eluent (methanol), the K_fs of both compounds have been extrapolated to pure water (233 M^?1 and 106 M^?1 for 5-MOP and 8-MOP, respectively). On the other hand, the established stoichiometry and affinity constants have been interpreted in terms of enthalpy and entropy changes. Finally, the importance of the position of the methoxy substituent has been underlined and seems to rule the quality of the fit of each isomer within the inner cavity of β-cyclodextrin.     

Supramolecular structural and spectral perspectives of novel ruthenium(III) azodye complexes

Five bis-[5-(4′-R-phenylazo)-8-hydroxyquinoline] ruthenium complexes [RuLn?·?Cl₂?·?OH₂]; where Ln?=?5-(4′-R-phenylazo)-8-hydroxyquinolinol, R?=?OCH₃ (n?=?1), CH₃(2), H(3), Cl(4), NO₂(5), have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, ESR, thermal analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The data show that these complexes exist in trans-isomeric solid form. Two inversion-related ligands and two Ru³⁺ atoms form a cage-like dimer. Both ligands of the dimer are bridged by a pair of inversion-related Ru–N (azodye) bonds. The octahedral coordination geometry of Ru³⁺ is made up of an N of pyridine, the deprotonated quinoline O atom, one of the azodye N atoms, two chlorides and one water. The ligands in the dimer are stacked over one another. In the solid state of azo-8-hydroxyquinoline, the dimers have inter-and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Interactions between the ligands and the metal are discussed. The azo group was involved in chelation for all the prepared complexes. The effect of Hammet's constant on the ligand field parameters are also discussed and drawn.     

Alternative Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Titanocene(III)-β-Diketonate Complexes

Abstract

Reaction of titanocene prepared from Cp₂TiCl₂ and 2n-BuLi with β-diketones (β-diketone = 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione, 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione, 3-methyl-2,4-pentanedione or 3-ethyl-2,4-pentanedione) afforded the titanocene(III) β-diketonate complex.

Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives and their metallic complexes

Three new 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives, i.e. 5-[(4-styryl-benzylidene)-amino]-quinolin-8-ol (1), 5-[(4-bromo-2-fluoro-benzylidene)-amino]-quinoline-8-ol (2) and 2-[2-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-2yl)-vinyl]-quinolin-8-ol (3), and their metallic complexes were synthesized and identified by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), mass spectrometry (MS) spectra and elemental analyses. Their fluorescence properties were studied by photoluminescence, which indicated that the luminescence wavelength of 5-and 2-substitued-8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives shifted to red in comparison with that of 8-hydroxyquinoline. Meanwhile, the fluorescence lifetime of 2-[2-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-2yl)-vinyl]-quinolin-8-ol and its zinc complex showed long lifetime in benzene solution. __________ Translated from Chinese Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2007, 27(3): 402–408 [译自: 有机化学]

Some prepared compounds were tested for their radioprotective and anticancer activities. Compounds 7 and 16 showed significant activities against EAC cells, while compound 5 exhibited radioprotective activity.     

Dual Control of Peptide Conformation with Light and Metal Coordination

The design of a stimuli-responsive peptide whose conformation is controlled by wavelength-specific light and metal coordination is described. The peptide adopts a defined tertiary structure and its conformation can be modulated between an α-helical coiled coil and β-sheet. The peptide is designed with a hydrophobic interface to induce coiled coil formation and is based on a recently described strategy to obtain switchable helix dimers. Herein, we endowed the helix dimer with 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) groups to achieve metal coordination and shift to a β-sheet structure. It was found that the conformational shift only occurs upon introduction of Zn²⁺; other metal ions (Cu²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Mg², and Ni²⁺) do not offer switching likely due to non-specific metal-peptide coordination. A control peptide lacking the metal-coordinating residues does not show conformational switching with Zn²⁺ supporting the role of this metal in stabilizing the β-sheet conformation in a defined manner.     

New isomeric N-substituted hydrazones of 2-, 3-and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehydes

Eighteen compounds unknown in the literature, N-(E)-stilbenyloxyalkylcarbonyl- and N-(E)-stilbenyloxyalkylcarbonylaminoalkylcarbonyl-substituted hydrazones of 2-, 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehydes have been prepared. The stereochemical behavior of these compounds in dimethyl-d₆ sulfoxide solution has been studied by ¹H-nmr technique. The E geometrical isomers and cisltrans amide conformers have been found for N-substituted-hydrazones 1–16 .     

Tetra-CMPO-derivatives of calix[4]arenes fixed in the 1,3-alternate conformation

Calix[4]arene derivatives fixed in the 1,3-alternate conformation and substituted at one side by four carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) residues were synthesised. Two CMPO groups are directly attached to the wide rim, while the second pair is bound to the narrow rim via a tri- or tetramethylene spacer. Similar compounds, in which two CMPO groups at the wide rim are combined with two picolinamide groups or two ionisable carboxylic groups at the narrow rim, were also prepared. Some of these calixarene derivatives were studied as extractants for lanthanides (La³⁺, Eu³⁺, Yb³⁺) and thorium (Th⁴⁺) from acidic solution into methylene chloride. For selected samples, stability constants in methanol were determined by spectrophotometric titrations. Three compounds (1b′, 13, 17) in the 1,3-alternate conformation and one intermediate in the cone conformation (18) were confirmed by a crystal structure.
