A series of seven nonclassical 2‐amino‐4‐oxo‐6‐substituted thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 2‐8 and one classical N‐[4‐(2‐amino‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydrothieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐6‐ylmethyl)benzoyl]‐L‐glutamic acid 9 (Table I) were designed as the first in a series of 6‐substituted 6‐5 fused ring analogs as potential thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitors and as antitumor agents. The target compounds were synthesized via a Heck coupling of appropriately substituted iodobenzenes and allyl alcohol followed by cyclization using cyanoacetate and sulfur powder to afford substituted thiophenes. The resulting thiophenes were then cyclocondensed with chloroformamidine hydrochloride to afford 2‐amino‐4‐oxo‐6‐substituted thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 2‐8 and 26 . Hydrolysis of 26 followed by coupling with diethyl L‐glutamate afforded 28 . The classical analog 9 was obtained by hydrolysis of 28 . None of the target compounds inhibited human recombinant thymidylate synthase at 23 μm except 9 for which the IC₅₀ value was 100 μm.

The reaction of 3‐N‐(2‐mercapto‐4‐oxo‐4H‐quinazolin‐3‐yl)acetamide ( 1 ) with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 2 ). The reaction of 2 with o‐chlorobenzaldehyde and 2‐hydroxy‐naphthaldehyde gave the corresponding 3‐arylidene amino derivatives 3 and 4 , respectively. Condensation of 2 with 1‐nitroso‐2‐naphthol afforded the corresponding 3‐(2‐hydroxy‐naphthalen‐1‐yl‐diazenyl)‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 5 ), which on subsequent reduction by SnCl₂ and HCl gave the hydrazino derivative 6.

Ring closure of 7 subsequently cyclized on refluxing with phencyl bromide, oxalyl dichloride and chloroacetic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidine derivatives 8, 9 and 10 , respectively. Reaction of 2‐mercapto‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 11 ) with hydrazine hydrate afforded 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 12 ). The reactivity 12 towards carbon disulphide, acetyl acetone and ethyl acetoacetate gave 13, 14 and 15 , respectively. Condensation of 12 with isatin afforded 2‐[N‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroindol‐3‐ylidene)hydrazino]‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 16 ). 2‐(4‐Oxo‐3‐phenylamino‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐ylamino)isoindole‐1,3‐dione ( 17 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 12 with phthalic anhydride. All isolated products were confirmed by their ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and mass spectra.     

Reactions of 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene and 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4,7‐diphenyl‐5‐methyl‐4H‐pyrano[2,3‐c] pyrazole with phenylisocyanate,carbon disulfide,and thiourea

However, when 1a and 2a were refluxed with carbon disulfide in 10% ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution, they afforded the thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2,4‐dithione derivative 5 in the former case, 2,4‐dicyano‐1,3‐bis(dithio carboxamino)cyclobuta‐1,3‐ diene 6 and pyrazolopyranopyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐ 2,4‐dithione derivative 7 in the latter one. Treatment of 2a with thiourea in refluxing ethanol in the presence of potassium carbonate gave 2,2′‐dithiobispyrimidine derivative 9 (major) in addition to pyranopyrazole derivative 10 and 2,2′‐dithiobis ethoxypyrimidine derivative 11 in minor amounts. The structures of all products were evidenced by microanalytical and spectral data. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS spectral data, and elemental analysis. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, LD₅₀, and pharmacological activities of the synthesized compounds are reported.

The reaction of 2,3‐dihydro‐2,3‐epoxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone ( 4 ) with substituted anilines furnished the corresponding benzo[fused]heterocyclic derivatives 5 , 6 , 6a , 6b , 7 , 8 . Furthermore, treatment of benzo[a]phenothiazine derivative 7 with halo compounds, namely, ethyl bromoacetate, phenacyl bromide, dibromoethane, or chloroacetone afforded ether derivatives 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , respectively. Moreover, the reaction of 11 with o‐substituted aniline gave the corresponding benzo[a]phenothiazin‐5‐one derivatives 15 , 16 , 17 and benzo[d][1,3]oxazin‐4‐one 18 , respectively. Finally, the chromenone derivative 19 was synthesized via the reaction of ester derivative 11 with salicyaldhyde in refluxing pyridine.

A series of ten novel 2‐amino‐4‐oxo‐5‐[(substitutedbenzyl)thio]pyrrolo[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 2‐11 were synthesized as potential inhibitors of thymidylate synthase and as antitumor agents. The analogues contain various electron withdrawing and electron donating substituents on the benzylsulfanyl ring of the side chains and were synthesized from the key intermediate 2‐amino‐4‐oxo‐6‐methylpyrrolo[2,3‐d]pyrimidine, 14 . Appropriately substituted benzyl mercaptans were appended to the 5‐position of 14 via an oxidative addition reaction using iodine, ethanol and water. The compounds were evaluated against human, Escherichia coli and Toxoplasma gondii thymidylate synthase and against human, Escherichia coli and Toxoplasma gondii dihydrofolate reductase. The most potent inhibitor, ( 6 ) which has a 4′‐methoxy substituent on the side chain, has an IC₅₀=25 μM against human thymidylate synthase. Contrary to analogues of general structure 1 , electron donating or electron withdrawing substituents on the side chain of 2‐11 had little or no influence on the human thymidylate synthase inhibitory activity.

Unnatural cyclic α‐amino acids play an important role in the search for biologically active compounds and macromolecules. Enantiomers of natural amino acids with a d configuration are not naturally encoded, but can be chemically synthesized. The crystal structures of two enantiomers obtained by a method of stereoselective synthesis, namely (5R ,8S )‐8‐tert‐butyl‐7‐methoxy‐8‐methyl‐9‐oxa‐6‐azaspiro[4.5]decane‐2,10‐dione, (1), and (5S ,8R )‐8‐tert‐butyl‐7‐methoxy‐8‐methyl‐9‐oxa‐6‐azaspiro[4.5]decane‐2,10‐dione, (2), both C₁₄H₂₁NO₄, were determined by X‐ray diffraction. Both enantiomers crystallize isostructurally in the space group P 2₁, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit and with the same packing motif. The crystal structures are stabilized by C—H…O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of chains along the [100] and [010] directions. The conformation of the 3,6‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐oxazin‐2‐one fragment was compared with other crystal structures possessing this heterocyclic moiety. The comparison showed that the title compounds are not exceptional among structures containing the 3,6‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐oxazin‐2‐one fragment. The planar moiety was more frequently observed in derivatives in which this fragment was not condensed with other rings.
