Synthesis,structure, and spectral properties of some bioxazoles

Syntheses of systems containing two oxazole rings [2-phenyl-, 2-(2-furyl)-, and 2-(2-thienyl)-2,5-bioxazoles, and 2,2-(2,5-furylene)bisoxazole] from aldehydes obtained by formylating 2-phenyl-, 2-(2-furyl)-, and 2-(2-thienyl)oxazole have been developed. Terephthalate and thiophen-2,5-dicarboxylate esters have been used to obtain 2,2-(1,4-phenylene)- and 2,2-(2,5-thienylene)bisoxazoles. The PMR, UV, and luminescence spectra of these systems have been examined, and quantum chemical calculations carried out in the PPP approximation.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 826–836, June, 1986.     

Synthesis,characterization and biological evaluation of some novel sulfonylthiosemicarbazides

Abstract

A series of thiosemicarbazides were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic techniques (NMR, FT-IR) besides elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell line MCF7 and prostate cancer cell line PC3 and nonmalignant fibroblast L929 cell line by MTT assay. Among the compounds, N-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]hydrazinecarbothioamide (3d) and 2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]hydrazinecarbothioamide (3f) were found to display significant cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ of 13.87?μM (against PC3 cell line) and 1.47?μM (against MCF7 cell line), respectively. These compounds were non-cytotoxic to normal cell line with IC₅₀>100?μM. Western blotting studies demonstrated that compound 3f induced apoptosis and caused cell death in the MCF7 and PC3 cell lines via an increase in Bax protein expression and a slight decrease in Bcl-2 protein expression. The gene expression ratio Bax/Bcl-2 showed the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis in cancer cell lines. All of synthesized compounds have also been tested for antioxidant activity and all compounds achieved strong inhibition of the DPPH radical. These findings showed that compound 3f, displays potential to be further explored in the development of new anticancer agents.     

Synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of some 3,5,6-trichloropyridine derivatives

Aromatic carboxylic acids on refluxing with 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetylhydrazide in POCl3 gave 5-aryl-2-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The hydrazide on treatment with acid chlorides gave diacylhydrazines, whereas with arylsulfonyl chlorides acyl(arylsulfonyl)hydrazines were obtained. The latter two types of compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities whereas 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were tested for their herbicidal activity.

Preliminary bioassays indicated that some compounds showed fungicidal activity against Puccinia tritinia and PGR activity as well.     

Synthesis,characterization and antitumor activities of some novel thiazinones and thiosemicarbazones derivatives

Abstract

Two series of thiazinone and thiosemicarbazone derivatives (1-12) were synthesized using 2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones (ABNs) and 3–alkyl–2,6–diarylpiperidin–4–ones as the starting materials. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of FT–IR, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. From the spectroscopic data, we identified that the cyclization reaction of thioamide with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate selectively gives six membered methyl 2-(2-(2,4-disubstituted-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-oxo-4H-1,3-thiazine-6-carboxylates (1-6). In order to investigate the antitumor activities of the synthesized compounds, in vitro cytotoxicity studies were carried out using human prostate cancer cell lines. Tested compounds showed good/moderate activities against cancer cell lines and further investigation carried out by live/dead assay.     

Synthesis,characterization, electrochemistry and evaluation of biological activities of some ferrocenyl Schiff bases

Synthesis of ferrocenyl Schiff bases ( 1–6 ) was carried out by the condensation reaction of 4‐ferrocenyl aniline with different substituted aromatic aldehydes and acetyl acetone. Compounds were characterized by physical measurements, elemental analysis, FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy. Single crystal X‐ray analysis of compound 2 showed the co‐planarity of both aromatic rings connected by a C–N double bond. Compounds demonstrated reversible one‐electron redox behavior and their peak currents were found to increase linearly with the square root of the sweep rate ν^1/2. The overall electrode processes were found to be diffusion controlled. Compounds 1 and 4 showed low cytotoxicity and appreciable antifungal, antioxidant and DNA protection activities.

Synthesis,structure, and biological evaluation of novel N- and O-linked diinositols

Several O-and N-linked inositols and/or aminoinositols have been prepared by iterative opening of epoxides and aziridines derived from homochiral cyclohexadiene cis-diols. The three inositols and their intermediate conduritols (conduramines) were tested against several glycosidases (alpha- and beta-glucosidase, alpha- and beta-galactosidase, alpha- and beta-mannosidase) in an assay that measured the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenolglycosides rather than the concentration of p-nitrophenolate. Somewhat surprisingly, the best inhibition was seen against beta-galactosidase with several of the compounds. The inositols linked through oxygen or nitrogen were subjected to calcium binding studies performed in NMR experiments. Detailed analysis of the title compounds by NMR spectroscopy has been performed, and full assignments were made. One of the attendant benefits of the preparation of these compounds has been expressed in the design and synthesis of new salen catalysts whose effectiveness has been compared with Jacobsen's catalyst in the epoxidation of styrene.     

Polarographic investigation of reduction process of some azodyes and their complexes with rare earths

The voltammetry behavior of six azodyes (tropeolin 0, tropeolin 00, tropeolin 000, magnezon, eriochrome black T, arsenazo I) with various structures of the interface circuit and substituents in o,o'-positions, and their rare earth (RE) complexes was investigated in detail. The process of complex formation of RE(III) with some o,o'-hydroxyazodyes was studied. The reduction mechanism of o,o'-disubstituted azodyes and their complexes with RE(III) was offered. It was confirmed that all investigated compounds and complexes are adsorbed on the surface of the dropping mercury electrode. The possibility of voltammetric determination of azodyes in a water environment was shown. The results of the research were used for determination of rare earths in inorganic materials.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of some novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives

In the present investigation, a series of new Schiff bases 4a–f were synthesized by the condensation of N-[(4-amino-5-sulfanyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl]-4-substituted-benzamides 3a–b with various substituted aromatic aldehydes in ethanol–dioxane mixture using catalytic amount of sulfuric acid. The starting materials 3a–b were in turn synthesized by the fusion of benzoyl glycine/substituted benzoylglycine with thiocarbohydrazide. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectra and elemental analyses. All the compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity using the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) method by serial dilution technique. Few of the compounds were found to be biologically active.     

Synthesis,antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of some novel 5-substituted imidazolone analogs

In view of potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities exhibited by 5-substituted imidazolones, a variety of novel imidazolone analogs 3a-l were synthesized by the condensation of different substituted oxazolones 1 with various aromatic amines 2. All the synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro activities against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Several analogs produced good or moderate activities particularly against the tested Gram-positive bacteria Micrococcus luteus and Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and. Meanwhile, compounds 3b and 3c displayed marked antifungal activity against C. albicans. In addition, the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of the synthesized compounds was determined using the carrageenin-induced paw oedema method in rats. Two of 5-substituted imidazolone derivatives, 3k and 3d show good anti-inflammatory activity. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated using IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR.
