A novel series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 14a–j and pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines 18a, b were synthesized via condensation of 5-amino-1H-pyrazoles 10a, b with 3-(dimethylamino)-1-aryl-prop-2-en-1-ones 11a–e and 2-((dimethylamino)methylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (15), respectively, in glacial acetic acid. Finally, treatment of 10a, b with sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) afforded pyrazolo[3,4-d]triazines 20a, b. Structures of compounds were confirmed by their spectral data. These compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines (HepG-2 and MCF-7) using 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results reveal that, the compounds 14b and 14h were the most potent in comparison with doxorubicin. The structure–activity relationship was discussed.

Novel Selected Tandem Transformations of the Amino and Carbonyl/Nitrile Groups in the Gewald Thiophenes

Novel transformations of the amino and carbonyl/nitrile groups in the Gewald thiophenes were studied for thienopyrimidine synthesis. It was found that 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxamides and ethyl 2-(acetylamino)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbo- xylate did not yield tetrazole derivatives, neither in the reaction with triethyl orthoformate and sodium azide, nor in the reaction with phosphorus oxychloride and sodium azide, correspondingly. On the contrary, derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one were isolated. New 2-azidothiophenes [2-azido-4,5,6,7-tetra hydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbonitrile and 2-azido-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-3-yl(phenyl)methanone] were synthesized and used in anionic domino reactions with activated acetonitriles to yield thieno[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and/or 2-(5-amino-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)thiophenes. Finally, a new ring system of thieno[3,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine was synthesized via a domino reaction of ethyl 2-[(2Z)-2-(1-chloro-2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)hydrazino]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate with activated acetonitriles.

Synthesis and Antibacterial Evaluation of New Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines Kinase Inhibitors

Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines represent an important class of heterocyclic compounds well-known for their anticancer activity exerted by the inhibition of eukaryotic protein kinases. Recently, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines have become increasingly attractive for their potential antimicrobial properties. Here, we explored the activity of a library of in-house pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, targeting human protein kinases, against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and their interaction with ampicillin and kanamycin, representing important classes of clinically used antibiotics. Our results represent a first step towards the potential application of dual active pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine kinase inhibitors in the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in cancer patients.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.

Synthesis and biological application of pyranopyrimidine derivatives catalyzed by efficient nanoparticles and their nucleoside analogues

Abstract

Nanoparticles supply an environmentally friendly procedure for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines by the one-pot three-component condensation reaction of thiobarbituric acid and malononitrile with pyrrol-2-carboxaldehyde. The catalyst could be easily recovered using an external magnet and reused for six cycles with almost consistent activity. A facile synthesis of a new series of cyclic and acyclic nucleosides of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines derivatives was performed. The synthesis of poly heterocyclic compounds starting from pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines derivatives was achieved. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the bases of elemental analyses and spectral data (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra). Compound 6 exhibited the most potent biological activity.
