Design,synthesis and antifungal activity of novel selenochroman-4-one derivatives

A series of novel selenochroman-4-one derivatives bearing semicarbazone or nitrogen heterocycle was designed, synthesized, tested antifungal activity and characterized via ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and HRMS. The design of the compounds is based on the principle of molecule hybrid and bioisosterism. We aimed at attaching semicarbazones or nitrogen heterocycle to the selenochroman-4-one for enhancing antifungal activity. The antifungal activity of target compounds was evaluated using the microdilution broth method in vitro test. Bioassay results indicated that some of the derivatives displayed good fungistatic activity on Candida zeylanoides, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, resistant to fluconazole strain 103 (Candida albicans), resistant to fluconazole strain 100 (Candida albicans) and strain SC5314 (Candida albicans). All the compounds exhibit antifungal activities against the tested funguses in different levels, among them, 7 compounds of antifungal activity against several funguses is better than that of the control drug fluconazole. Based on the results, preliminary structure activity relationships (SARs) were summarized to serve as a foundation for further investigation.     

New functionalization opportunities for <Emphasis Type="Italic">peri</Emphasis>-hydroxynaphthoyl and <Emphasis Type="Italic">peri</Emphasis>-fused heterocyclic compounds

A capability was studied of hydrogenated α-pyrone heterocycle in 7-methoxy-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one to undergo aminolysis under the treatment with hydrazine hydrate, primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines. A new approach was developed to the preparation of perihydroxyketone of naphthalene series containing a specific functional substituent in the ortho-position with respect to hydroxy group. The effect was revealed of an acetyl group in the position 9 of 7-methoxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one on the reaction of this compound with aliphatic amines and hydrazine hydrate. 9-Methoxy-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-3H-benzo[de]pyrido[3,2,1-if]cinnolin-3-one [9-methyl-6-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-10,10a-diazapyren-1-one] was obtained, a new bis-peri-fused heteroaromatic system.     

Synthesis of acridinyl- and fluorenylidenehydrazido derivatives of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-Butylcalix[4]arene

p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arenes substituted at the lower rim by acetic acid hydrazide residues reacted with methoxy(ethoxy)acridine and fluoren-9-one derivatives to give a series of calixarenes containing N′-fluorenylidene- and N′-acridinylacetohydrazide residues. It was found that modification of the hydrazide moiety does not affect the conformation of the initial macroring and that it can lead in some cases to unsymmetrically substituted calixarenes.

The calculated data are compared with the experimental data. The most stable conformation is the chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the methyl group.     

Synthesis and conformational analysis of 6-[N,N-bis(dihydroxyphosphorylmethyl)amino]methyl-2-hydroxy-2-oxido-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane-4-methylphosphonic acid by NMR spectroscopy

The Kabachnik—Fields methylphosphorylation of 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol affords a mixture of 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-N,N,N′,N′-tetrakismethylphosphonic acid and its intramolecular cyclic ester. Subsequent heating of this mixture led to the thermal dehydration of the acid with the 1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane ring closure and the formation of 6-[N,N-bis(dihydroxyphosphorylmethyl)amino]methyl-2-hydroxy-2-oxido-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane4-methylphosphonic acid.

Structure effects of the protonated lincomycin molecule on the mechanism of its complexation with organic compounds

The mechanism of complexation of the protonated lincomycin molecule with para-substituted nitrobenzenes in the gas phase is analyzed by quantum chemical methods. The regioselectivity of lincomycin protonation is treated in a B3LYP/6-31G(d′, p) approximation; the geometrical structure and conformation of the molecule are analyzed. The lincomycin molecule is protonated at the nitrogen atom of the pyrrolidine cycle. In stable conformers, a pseudovoid is formed and stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The cross section of the pseudovoid (1.77–2.62 Å) is too small for the protonated lincomycin molecule to participate in host guest complexation with organic compounds. According to B3LYP/6-31G(d′, p) calculations, complexation of the protonated lincomycin molecule with nitrobenzenes occurs through hydrogen bonding.

One-Step Three-Component Synthesis of New 2,5,6,7-Functionalized 5,8-Dihydropyrido-[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

One-step three-component cyclocondensation of 2,6-disubstituted pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and some aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes on heating or under microwave irradiation afforded new functionally substituted 5,8-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones. Conventional heating was found to be more advantageous. The effects of the 2-substituent in the initial pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and the nature of the dicarbonyl component on the product structure and yield were analyzed.

The reaction of the same compounds in anhydrous ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide led to the formation of N-(4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-yl)thiourea. Bis(3-oxo-1,3-diphenylprop-1-en-1-yl) sulfide and 1-benzoyl-2-ethylsulfanyl-2-phenylethylene were isolated in the reactions of 1-benzoyl-2-phenylacetylene with N-(carbamimidoyl)thiourea and N-(carbamimidoyl)-S-ethylisothiuronium bromide, respectively, in anhydrous methanol.

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one derivatives

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0–5°C and 60°C gives 5-nitro-and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro-and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5-nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro-and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.
