The reaction of 1-(4-oxo-1-R-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides with methyl iodide gave rise to 1,2,4-triazolo-pyrazolopyrimidinones of linear structure, and with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide the products had angular and linear structure. The heating of compounds obtained higher than their melting point resulted in their isomerization into 7-aryl-amino-1-R-1,8-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4-ones.

The thermolysis of (Z)-methyl 3-(6-azido-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazin-5-yl)-2-methylacrylate ( II ) provides a new synthetic route to pyrrolo[2,3-c-]pyridazines, specifically, methyl 3-chloro-1,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridazine-5-carboxylate ( III ) in 91% yield. Treatment of III with ozone provides an entry into the novel pyridazino[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine ring system, specifically, 3-chloro-1,7-dimethylpyridazino[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine-4,5-dione ( IV ) in 73% yield. Compound IV is smoothly hydrolyzed into 6-acetylamino-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-5-carboxylic acid ( V ) which is readily recyclized into IV by dehydration with acetic anhydride. Furthermore, IV undergoes a facile reductive ring opening reaction with sodium borohydride to give 3-chloro-6-ethylamino-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-5-carboxylic acid ( VI ) in 95% yield.

Treating carboxamide 5 with arylaldehydes and zinc dichloride, new 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-6-nitro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 9 were synthetised. These compounds reduced with iron(II) hydroxide gave 6-amino-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 10 as expected.

Nucleophilic substitution on 6 with hydrazine led to 7 which on refluxing with formic acid gave 5-aryl-6-cyano-8-methyl-s-triazolo[3,4-b]pyrimidin-7-ones ( 9 ), while with acetic and propionic acids only 2-acylhydrazino-3-methyl-4-oxo-5-cyano-6-arylpyrimidines 8a,b were isolated. The hydrazine 7 undergoes cyclization with acetylacetone and methyl dimethylmercaptoacrylate providing 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-5-cyano-6-substituted pyrimidines 10 , and 11 .

Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity. Docking study for the synthesized thiophene compounds delivered valuable insights about the binding interactions with the crystal structure of NS5B enzyme with PDB ID (4TLR).

Treatment of 6 with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate in acetone gave the 5-thioureido derivative 7 , which on methylation with methyl iodide afforded ethyl 1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-[(N'-ethoxycarbonyl-S-methylisothiocarbamoyl)amino]pyrazole-4-carboxylate ( 8 ). Ring closure of 8 under alkaline media furnished 6-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-1,3-oxazin-4-one ( 10 ), which on deisopropylidenation afforded 4 in good yield. 6-Amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( 5 ) has also been synthesized from the AICA riboside congener 5-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole-4-carboxamide ( 12 ). Treatment of 12 with benzoyl isothiocyanate, and subsequent methylation of the reaction product with methyl iodide gave 1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-[(N'-benzoyl-S-methylisothiocarbamoyl)amino]pyrazole-4-carboxamide ( 15 ). Base mediated cyclization of 15 gave 6-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( 14 ).

A mechanism of reaction, which hypothesizes the action of sodium hydrosulfite in an asymmetic form, is proposed. The results of single-crystal X-ray investigation on 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one (R = 0.032 for 863 reflections) and (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]- [1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid, sodium salt (R = 0.028 for 3507 reflections) are reported.
