Design,synthesis and cholinesterase inhibitory activity of α-mangostin derivatives

Abstract

α-mangostin, a polyphenol xanthone derivative, was mainly isolated from pericarps of the mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana L.). In present investigation, a series of derivatives were designed, synthesised and evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Among the synthesised xanthones, compounds 1, 9, 13 and 16 showed AChE selective inhibitory activity, 15 was a BuChE selective inhibitor while 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12 and 14 were dual inhibitors. The most potent inhibitor of AChE was 16 while 5 was the most potent inhibitor of BuChE with IC₅₀ values of 5.26?μM and 7.55?μM respectively.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some New 1,3-Diphenylpyrazoles Bearing Pyrimidine,Pyrimidinethione, Thiazolopyrimidine,Triazolopyrimidine, Thio-and Alkylthiotriazolop-Yrimidinone Moieties at the 4-Position

1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde (1) reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate and thiourea to give the pyrimidinethione derivative 2. The reaction of 2 with some alkylating agents gave the corresponding thioethers 3a–e and 7. Thione 2 was cyclized to 5 and 6 upon a reaction with chloroacetic acid and with benzaldehyde, respectively. Thioether 3c was cyclized to 4 upon boiling with sodium acetate in ethanol, and 7 was cyclized to 8 upon boiling in an acetic anhydride-pyridine mixture. The hydrazino derivative 9 was prepared either by boiling 2 and/or 3a with hydrazine. The reaction of 9 with nitrous acid, acetylacetone, triethyl orthoformate, acetic anhydride, and carbon disulfide gave 10–14. The alkylation of 14 with ethyl iodide, phenacyl bromide, and ethyl chloroacetate afforded the alkythiotriazolo pyrimidinone derivatives 15a–c. The dialkyl derivative 16 was produced upon the treatment of 2 with two equivalents of ethyl iodide. Boiling 16 with hydrazine afforded the hydrazino 17. The reaction of 17 with nitrous acid, carbon disulfide, ethyl cyanoacetate, ethyl acetoacetae, and phenacyl bromide gave 18–22, respectively. Some of the newly obtained compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Abstract

When 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone (1) was reacted with two molar amounts of triethylphosphonoacetate (I), the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrachlorocoumarin-4-carbethoxy-3-diethylphosphonate (4) was obtained. Moreover, phenanthrene-9,10-quinone (2) was converted by reaction of Wittig-Horner reagent (I) into 2,3-dicarbethoxy-phenanthro[9,10-b]dihydrofuran (5) and the dimeric form (6). On the other hand, adducts (7) and (8) were isolated from the reaction of acenaphthenequinone (3) with triethylphosphonoacetate (I). Possible reaction mechanisms are considered and the structure of the new compounds (4), (5, 6) and (7, 8) was confirmed on the basis of the elemental analysis and spectral studies.

Abstract

The reaction of thiosemicarbazides 1a–h with hydrazonoyl chlorides 2a–g at ambient temperature, in the presence of triethylamine yielded, in each case, two products. The structure of these compounds was confirmed as 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 14a–h and hydrazonothioates 15a–g. The structure of 15b was confirmed through single crystal X-ray diffraction. A mechanism was proposed for this cyclodesulfurization reaction.     

Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of 1, 2-Anhydro-3, 4-di-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranose

Abstract

The title 1, 2-anhydro sugar (10) was synthesized from methyl 4, 6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside or from 1, 2-O-ethylidene-α-D-glucopyranose. The key intermediate for the synthesis was 2-O-acetyl-3, 4-di-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride (8)which was transformed into the target compound by ring closure with potassium tert-butoxide. Calculations by the modified Karplus equation from vicinal coupling constants of 10 suggested that the conformation of 10 was almost an ideal ⁴ H ₅ for the pyranose ring. Conformational analysis for the 1, 2-O-(R)-ethylidene intermediates 17 and 20 revealed that their pyranose ring basically adopted a B₂,₅ conformation.     

Polymer Intermediates and Polymers Derived from 5-t-Butyl-m-Xylene

Abstract

A series of condensation polymer intermediates, which included several new compositions, was prepared from 5-t-butyl-m-xylene (I) so that the effect of the bulky t-butyl group on polymer properties could be determined. Compound (I) was oxidized with nitric acid to obtain 5-t-butyl-isophthalic acid (II), which was converted successively to the diacid chloride, the diamide, the dinitrile, and finally to 5-t-butyl-m-xylene-α,α′-diamine (VI); the overall yield was 80%. The dimethyl ester of (II) was prepared and converted to 5-t-butyl-m-xylene-α,α′-diol (VIII), a new composition, in 79.5% overall yield; the diphenyl ester was also prepared. The sodium salt of (II) was catalytically reduced to obtain 5-t-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (IIa) in 95% yield. (IIa) was converted successively to the diacid chloride, the diamide, the dinitrile, and finally to 5-t-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanebis(methylamine) (VIa), a new composition; the overall yield was 37%. (IIa) was also converted to the dimethyl ester and finally to 5-t-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol (VIIIa), a new composition; the overall yield was 64%. Condensation polymers were prepared from the intermediates (II), (IIa), (VI), (VIa), (VIII), and (VIIIa). These polymers had higher glass transition temperatures (T_g) than corresponding polymers containing no t-butyl groups. This general effect of the t-butyl group to increase the T_g value of the polymer was noted in all polymers prepared, regardless of whether the intermediate carrying the t-butyl group was a diacid, a diol, or a diamine, or whether the polymer was a polyamide, a polyester, or a polyurethane.

The oxalato-bridged dinickel(II) complex with the title ligand, [Ni₂(L ^a H)₂(μ-ox)](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O (1), was prepared and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography, as well as that of the monomeric nickel(II) complex, [Ni(L ^a H)ox]ClO₄·3H₂O (2). In Complexes 1 and 2, the ligand, L ^a , is folded along the N(4)–Ni(1)–N(11) axis. The antiferromagnetic coupling between the two nickel(II) centers in 1 was revealed and the coupling constant, J?=??17.4?cm^?1, and g?=?2.11 were estimated.
