Application of thin-layer chromatographic data in quantitative structure-activity relationship assay of thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives with H1-antihistamine activity. I

A quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis of H1-antihistamine activity and chromatographic data of 2-[2-(phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl]ethanamine; 2-(2-benzyl-4-thiazolyl)ethanamine; 2-(2-benzhydrylthiazol-4-yl)ethylamine derivative; 2-(1-piperazinyl- and 2-(hexahydro-1H-1,4-diazepin-1-yl)benzothiazole derivatives was made. The RP2 thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates (silica gel RP2 60F254 silanised precoated), impregnated with solutions of selected amino acid mixtures (L-Asp, L-Asn, L-Thr and L-Lys), were used in two developing solvents as hH1R antagonistic interaction models. Using regression analysis, the relationships between chromatographic and biological activity data were found. The correlations obtained in regression analysis for the examined thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives with H1-antihistamine activity [pA2(H1)] represent their interaction with all the proposed biochromatographic models (S1-S7). Some of the calculated equations can be applied to predict the pharmacological activity of new drug candidates. The best multivariate relationships useful in predicting the pharmacological activity of thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives were obtained under the condition of experiment with RP2 TLC plates using the developing solvent acetonitrile-methanol-buffer (40:40:20, v/v). The log P values of particular compounds are extremely important for this kind of activity.     

A structure-activity relationship study of compounds with antihistamine activity

A structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of H(1)-, H(2)- and H(3)-antihistamine activity was carried out and chromatographic data of 2-[2-(phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl]ethanamine, 2-(2-benzyl-4-thiazolyl)ethanamine, 2-(2-benzhydrylthiazol4-yl)ethanamine, 2-(1-piperazinyl- and 2-(hexahydro-1H-1,4-diazepin-1-yl)benzothiazole, 2-(1-piperazinyl)benzothiazole, 2-[4-(1-alkyl)piperidinyl]benzothiazole, 2-(N,N',N'-dimethylalkyl-1,2-ethanediamino)benzothiazole, 2[1-(4-aminopiperidinyl)]benzothiazole, 2-[2-phenyl-4-thiazolyl]ethanamine derivatives and selected H(1)- and H(2)-antihistamine drugs were obtained. NP TLC and RP2 TLC plates (silica gel NP 60F(254) and silica gel RP2 60F(254) silanized precoated), impregnated with a solution of aspartic acid (L-Asp) and a solution of an analogue of aspartic acid (propionic acid), were used in two developing solvents as H(1)-, H(2)- and H(3)-antihistaminic interaction models. The lipophilicity data of the examined compounds were obtained and used in the SAR assay. Biochromatographic tests using TLC plates impregnated with solutions of asparic acid or propionic acid were found to be a source of useful data for the qualitative analysis of compounds with different structures, demonstrating activity to histamine H(1)-, H(2)- and H(3)-receptors. The four presented discriminant models based on biochromatographic studies are an efficient tool in the SAR analysis for initial prediction of compound activity direction within histamine receptors.

Lipophilicity analysis of newly synthetized quinobenzothiazines by use of TLC

Lipophilicity is a very important property of chemical compound taking into consideration in drugs design. Relationships between biological activity, among others lipophilicity, and chemical structure (QSAR) of the compound are very often used by researches. Especially important is the kind of substituents connected to the basic structural fragment and how it changes the lipophilicity of the compound. The aim of this study was to determine the parameters of lipophilicity of quinobenzothiazine derivatives using reversed phase - thin-layer chromatography (RP-TLC), which would enable one to determine the structure–activity relationship. The objective of our work is a series of 15 newly synthetized quinobenzothiazines. They were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with the use of two different mobile phases consisting of methanol or acetone as organic modifiers. For all compounds investigated, the values of lipophilicity obtained from computational method were also determined. Cluster analysis was carried out too for all data of lipophilicity obtained. Low correlation was found between values of experimental lipophilicity and lipophilicity from computational methods for newly synthetized compounds.

Compound 1 exhibits strong fluorescence and thus may serve as excellent candidates of green fluorescent materials.     

Determination of Lipophilic Character of a Series of Dermorphin-Related Oligopeptioes by Means of Reversed-Phase HPLC

Abstract

In recent times there has been a growing interest in the determination of chromatographic parameters of lipophilicity with regard to their use in the study of quantitative structure-activity relationship (1, 2). Very good correlations had been shown between the chromatographic parameters and the log P or π values as a measure of the partition coefficient between octanol and water (2). The reversed phase TLC R_m values in two different chromatographic systems and the reversed-phase HPLC log k′ values of a series of dermorphin-related oligopeptides have been previously determined (3, 4). The purpose of the present work was to study the relationship between log k′ values on one hand and R_m or ^Σπ values on the other one in view of QSAR studies. In fact the discovery of enkephalin and endorphins with high affinities for opioid receptors added new dimensions to the study of structure-activity relationship of opioid agonists (5, 6, 7, 8).

A Comparative Study of the Lipophilicity of Metformin and Phenformin

The results presented in this paper confirm the beneficial role of an easy-to-use and low-cost thin-layer chromatography (TLC) technique for describing the retention behavior and the experimental lipophilicity parameter of two biguanide derivatives, metformin and phenformin, in both normal-phase (NP) and reversed-phase (RP) TLC systems. The retention parameters (R_F, R_M) obtained under different chromatographic conditions, i.e., various stationary and mobile phases in the NP-TLC and RP-TLC systems, were used to determine the lipophilicity parameter (R_MW) of metformin and phenformin. This study confirms the poor lipophilicity of both metformin and phenformin. It can be stated that the optimization of chromatographic conditions, i.e., the kind of stationary phase and the composition of mobile phase, was needed to obtain the reliable value of the chromatographic lipophilicity parameter (R_MW) in this study. The fewer differences in the R_MW values of both biguanide derivatives were ensured by the RP-TLC system composed of RP2, RP18, and RP18W plates and the mixture composed of methanol, propan-1-ol, and acetonitrile as an organic modifier compared to the NP-TLC analysis. The new calculation procedures for logP of drugs based on topological indices ⁰χ^ν, ⁰χ, ¹χ^ν, M, and M^ν may be a certain alternative to other algorithms as well as the TLC procedure performed under optimized chromatographic conditions. The knowledge of different lipophilicity parameters of the studied biguanides can be useful in the future design of novel and more therapeutically effective metformin and phenformin formulations for antidiabetic and possible anticancer treatment. Moreover, the topological indices presented in this work may be further used in the QSAR study of the examined biguanides.     

On triazoles. XXII. Synthesis of Dialkyl (3-Q-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)iminodithiocarbonates

Isomeric dialkyl and diaralkyl[1-, 2- and 4-(alkyl, aralkyl and aryl)-3-Q-1,2,4-triazole-5-yl]iminodithiocarbonates 4a-c (R ≠ H) were synthesised and their spectral data compared. The uv, cmr and ms rules elaborated helped to prove the tautomeric structure of the non-substituted derivatives 4 (R ? H). In case of dimethyl (3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazole-5-yl)iminodithiocarbonate this is the first time ever crystalline triazole desmotropes 4a/17 and 4b/17 could be isolated. The sodium salts of 4 (R ? H) could be further alkylated and aralkylated to yield the corresponding 4 (R ? alkyl and aralkyl) type derivatives. Providing the above reaction in the presence of carbon disulfide the dithiocarbomethoxy derivative 7 was obtained.     

Gold(I) complexes of water-soluble diphos-type ligands: synthesis, anticancer activity, apoptosis and thioredoxin reductase inhibition

Gold(I) complexes of imidazole and thiazole-based diphos type ligands were prepared and their potential as chemotherapeutics investigated. Depending on the ligands employed and the reaction conditions complexes [L(AuCl)(2)] and [L(2)Au]X (X = Cl, PF(6)) are obtained. The ligands used are diphosphanes with azoyl substituents R(2)P(CH(2))(2)PR(2) {R = 1-methylimidazol-2-yl (1), 1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl (4), thiazol-2-yl (5) and benzthiazol-2-yl (6)} as well as the novel ligands RPhP(CH(2))(2)PRPh {R = 1-methylimidazol-2-yl (3)} and R(2)P(CH(2))(3)PR(2) {R = 1-methylimidazol-2-yl (2)}. The cytotoxic activity of the complexes was assessed against three human cancer cell lines and a rat hepatoma cell line and correlated to the lipophilicity of the compounds. The tetrahedral gold complexes [(3)(2)Au]PF(6) and [(5)(2)Au]PF(6) with intermediate lipophilicity (logD(7.4) = 0.21 and 0.25) showed significant cytotoxic activity in different cell lines. Both compounds induce apoptosis and inhibit the enzymes thioredoxin reductase and glutathione reductase.     

DNA binding, nuclease activity and cytotoxicity studies of Cu(II) complexes of tridentate ligands

Cu(II) complexes of three tridentate ligands, L(1), L(2) and L(3), [L(1), N-((1H-imidazole-2-yl)methyl)-2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethanamine; L(2), N-((1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)methyl)-2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethanamine; L(3), 2-(pyridine-2-yl)-N-((pyridine-2-yl)methyl)ethanamine] respectively, were synthesized and characterized. The single crystal X-ray structure of complex 1 reveals the pseudo octahedral coordination geometry around the copper center. Absorption and fluorescence experimental evidence show good DNA binding propensity (in the order of 10(5) M(-1)) of the complexes. Thermal denaturation and circular dichroism (CD) analyses reveal minor structural changes of calf thymus (CT) DNA in presence of complexes and groove and/or surface binding of the complexes to CT-DNA. Kinetic DNA cleavage assay shows pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction between the complex and supercoiled (SC) DNA. In addition, mechanistic SC DNA cleavage results show higher DNA cleavage activity in presence of reducing agent, due to the presence of hydroxyl radicals. In vitro cytotoxicity assay of the complexes demonstrate that the complexes have low toxicity for different cancer cell lines and IC(50) values were between 37 and 156 μM.     

Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of 2-(4-R 1 -Phenyl)-6-(4-R 2 -phenyl)-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro1,2,4,5-tetrazin-1(2 H )-yls

A new methodology for creating electroactive components for organic batteries, based on the construction of a molecular platform including stable 3,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-1(2H)-yl radicals was described. A series of 2-(4-R1-phenyl)-6-(4-R2-phenyl)-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-1(2H)-yls with substituents of various nature was obtained. It was shown that the substituents R1 in the aromatic ring at position 2 of the tetrazinyl fragment influence the value of the oxidation potential in the radical, but do not influence the value of the reduction potentials, while the substituent R2 of the aromatic ring at position 6 influence the values of the reduction potentials and practically do not influence oxidation potential values. Based on the obtained electrochemical data, a correlation structure–potential value was revealed for the cathodic and anodic process, with the help of which triarylsubstituted 3,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-1(2H)-yl radicals with high values of the electrochemical gap were obtained.     

Estimation of the lipophilicity of antiarrhythmic and antihypertensive active 1-substituted pyrrolidin-2-one and pyrrolidine derivatives

The lipophilicity of some antiarrhythmic and antihypertensive active 1-[2-hydroxy- or 1-[2-acetoxy-3-(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)propyl]pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives (1-12) has been investigated. Their lipophilicity (R(MO) and log k') was determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with mixtures of acetonitrile and Tris buffer as mobile phases. The partition coefficients of compounds 1-12 (log P(ScilogP)) were also calculated with the ScilogP program. Comparison of R(MO), log k' and calculated log D(7.0 ScilogP) values enabled calculation of clog D(7.0 TLC) and clog D(7.0 HPLC) values. Preliminary quantitative structure-activity relationship studies indicated that for active compounds there is a dependence between affinity for alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and their clog D(7.0 HPLC) values.

Unconventional TLC systems in lipophilicity determination: A review

ABSTRACT

This review focuses on four unusual thin-layer chromatography (TLC) approaches for the determination of lipophilicity: (1) the use of medium-polar stationary phases: CN, NH₂, and DIOL instead of RP plates, together with water-based mobile phase; (2) the use of silica gel in a typical normal-phase manner and treating extrapolated retention indices as the “reversed lipophilicity”; (3) the use of oil impregnated silica gel in the reversed-phase manner; and (4) the use of salting-out mobile phases. The chromatographic indices obtained in these systems are numerously reported as well correlated with lipophilicity and they are an interesting alternative to classical RP systems approaches.     

Ensembles of rings with a coumarin unit 1. Synthesis of 3-(2-R-thiazol-4-yl)-and 3-(4-R-thiazol-2-yl)coumarins

We have synthesized 3-(2-R-thiazol-4-yl)coumarins (R=H, CH₃, CH₂CN, Ar) by condensation of 3-(-bromoacetyl)coumarins with thioamides. We obtained 3-(4-R-thiazol-2-yl)coumarins (R=H, Ar) by several methods. By reaction of 2-cyanomethyl-4-phenylthiazole with 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, we synthesized 2-imino-3-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)coumarins, which were converted to the corresponding coumarins by acid hydrolysis. For 3-(2-R-thiazol-4-yl)coumarins (R=CH₂CN), we carried out reactions with aromatic aldehydes. We propose alternative methods for synthesis of 2-[2-aryl(hetaryl)-1-cyanoethenyl]-4-(coumarin-3-yl)thiazoles.Ukrainian Pharmaceutical Academy, Kharkov 310002.

Antimicrobial Properties of 4-Aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ2-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones

Four 4-aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ²-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 4-aryl-1-[(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)carbonyl]thiosemicarbazides in alkaline medium. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized triazoles was evaluated. Semiempirical calculations of geometries, energies, and QSAR parameters have been determined in the hope of gaining insight into different biological activities of closely related isomers. New RM1 parameterization has been shown to perform very well for this class of compounds.     

QSAR analyses of 3-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl)-N-phenylpropylamine derivatives as potent CCR5 antagonists

CCR5 receptor binding affinity of a series of 3-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl)propylamine congeners was subjected to QSAR study using the linear free energy related (LFER) model of Hansch. Appropriate indicator variables encoding different group contributions and different physicochemical variables such as hydrophobicity (pi), electronic (Hammett sigma), and steric (molar refractivity, STERIMOL values) parameters of phenyl ring substituents of the compounds were used as predictor variables. The Hansch analysis explores the importance of the lipophilicity and electron-donating substituents for the binding affinity. However, this method could not give more insight into the structure-activity relationships because of the diverse molecular features in the data set. 3D-QSAR analyses of the same data set using Molecular Shape Analysis (MSA), Receptor Surface Analysis (RSA), and Molecular Field Analysis (MFA) techniques were also performed. The best model with acceptable statistical quality was derived from the MSA, which showed the importance of the relative negative charge (RNCG): substituents with a high RNCG value have more binding affinity than the unsubstituted piperidine and phenyl (R1 position) congeners. The relative negative charge surface area (RNCS) is detrimental (e.g. R2 = 3,4-Cl2) for the activity. An increase in the length of the molecule in the Z dimension (Lz) is conducive (e.g. R3 = sulfonylmorpholino), while an increase in the area of the molecular shadow in the XZ plane (Sxz) is detrimental (e.g. R1 = N-c-hexylmethyl-5-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl) for the binding affinity. The presence of a chiral center makes the molecule less active (e.g. R1 = N-methyl-5-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl). An increase in the van der Waals area, the molecular volume, and the difference between the volume of the individual molecule and the shape reference compound are conducive (e.g. R3 = (CH3)2NSO2-) for the binding affinity. Substituents with higher JursFPSA_2 values (fractional charged partial surface area) like the N-methylsulfonylpiperidin-4-yl (R1 position) group have better binding affinity than the substituents such as 4-chlorophenylamino (R1 position). Unsubstituted piperidines (R1 position) with less JursFNSA_1 values have lower binding affinity than the 4-chlorophenyl substituted compounds. The MFA derived equation shows interaction energies at different grid points, while the RSA model shows the importance of hydrophobicity and charge at different regions of the molecules. The models were validated through the leave-one-out, leave-15%-out, and leave-25%-out cross-validation techniques. The developed models were also subjected to a randomization test (99% confidence level). Although the MSA derived models had excellent statistical qualities both for the training as well as test sets, RSA and MFA results for the test sets are not comparable statistically with the MSA derived models.
