Solvatochromism of 3-[2-(aryl)benzoxazol-5-yl]alanine derivatives

The photophysical properties of N-Boc-3-[2-(9-anthryl)benzoxazol-5-yl]-l-alanine methyl ester (BoxAnt) and N-Boc-3-[2-[4-(9′-(10′-butyl)anthryl)phenyl]benzoxazol-5-yl]-l-alanine methyl ester (BoxPhAnt) were studied in a series of solvents. Their absorption spectra are less sensitive to the solvent polarity than the corresponding fluorescence spectra which show a pronounced solvatochromic effect leading to large Stokes shifts. Using an efficient solvatochromic method, based on the empirical solvent polarity parameter , a large change of the dipole moment on excitation for BoxPhAnt has been found. From an analysis of the solvatochromic behaviour of the absorption and fluorescence spectra in terms of bulk solvent polarity functions, f(_r, n) and g(n), a larger excited-state dipole moment (about 8 D, ψ = 56) was obtained for BoxPhAnt than for BoxAnt (about 3 D, ψ = 0). Both applied methods gave similar values of the excited-state dipole moments for both compounds studied.

Dihydropyrimidinone derivatives were prepared by tri-component reaction of ethyl aceto acetate, aldehydes and thiourea in the presence of modified montmorillonite nanostructure as a catalyst and used as key intermediates for the synthesis of ethyl-5-(aryl)-2-(2-alkokxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyri midine-6-carboxylate derivatives with use of diethyl and dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate by two methods: (a) in methanol as a solvent under ultrasonic irradiation at ambient temperature (b) in methanol as a solvent at ambient temperature (conventional magnetic stirring). Ultrasound-assisted synthesis provides excellent yields in short reaction times (15–25 min) at room temperature.

Synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of 3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-yl)-1H-indole-carboxylic acids derivatives

Abstract

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of 1-oxo-9H-thiopyrano[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acids and dimerized 3-(4-carboxy-1H-3-indolyl)-2-propenoic acids via alkaline hydrolysis of 3-(rhodanin-5-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids derivatives was elaborated. Anticancer activity screening in NCI60-cell lines assay allowed identification of 5-fluoro-3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-ylidenemethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 2a with significant antimitotic activity at micromolar and submicromolar concentrations.     

(2Z)-3-(5-Hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)acrylonitrile

The title compound, C₁₂H₇NO₃, consists of a chromone moiety substituted in position 3 with an acrylonitrile group in a Z configuration. The two planar groups are twisted with respect to one another. The only significant hydrogen bond in the structure is an intra­molecular O—H·O bond. π–π contacts connecting aromatic groups and C—H·O inter­molecular weak inter­actions lead to a supramolecular layer arrangement.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of （4S）-5-（2-Methoxy-2-oxoethylamino）-5-oxo-4-（3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamido） Pentanoic Acid

1 INTRODUCTION Aminopeptidase N (APN), a member of mem- brane-bound zinc-dependent exopeptidase, is known to be high expression on the brush border membran- es of the small intestine and renal proximal tubules[1]. The over-expression of APN has been involved in several pathological conditions including cancer[2], leukemia, diabetic nephropathy[3], rheumatoid arth- ritis[4], angiogenesis[5] and central nervous system di- seases, such as Alzheimer’s disease[6]. This has led to the sear…

The liquid-crystalline properties of bis[N-[[4-[4-(alkoxy)benzoyloxy]2-hydroxyphenyl]methylene]alkanamino] complexes of Cu(II), Pd(II) and Ni(II). A general view

The thermotropic liquid-crystalline phase behaviour of a homologous set of bis[N-[[4-[4-(alkoxy)benzoyloxy]2-hydroxyphenyl]methylene]alkanamino] copper(II) complexes is examined. New data are reported and taken into account in addition to those previously reported in this Journal. The influence of alkoxy and alkanamine groups on the nature and stability of the mesophase is underlined. As a general trend, with some notable exception, smectic (C type) mesomorphism is favoured by longer alkoxy and alkanamine chains. Data concerning some Pd(II) and Ni(II) homologous complexes are also reported. The mesophase stability (nematic phase) is higher for palladium and nickel complexes than for the copper containing homologues.

A series of 2-[mercapto(cyano)methylene]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolin-4-ones and 2-amino-4-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one were prepared from 2-cyanomethylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones via α-bromo derivatives 4 and amide oxime 8, respectively.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Anticoagulant Activity of 5-Chloro-N-[[（5S）-2-oxo-3-[4-（2- oxopyridin-1 （2H）-yl）phenyl] oxazolidin-5- yl] methyl] thiophene-2-carboxamide①

The title compound(zifaxaban 2, C20H16ClN3O4 S, Mr = 429.87) was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Zifaxaban crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21 with a = 5.7900(12), b = 13.086(3), c = 12.889(3) A, β = 100.86(3)°, V = 959.1(3) A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.489 g/cm3, F(000) = 444, μ = 0.342 mm-1, the final R = 0.0320 and wR = 0.0640 for 2717 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). The absolute configuration of the stereogenic center in the title compound was confirmed to be S by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Four existing intermolecular hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the lattice and the molecule in the lattice to adopt an L-shape conformation. Zifaxaban was slightly more active than rivaroxaban 1 in in vitro assay against human FXa and therefore is promising as a drug candidate.     

Synthesis, reactions and antineoplastic activity of 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene derivatives

The key 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-5-yl acetates 3 were synthesized in high yields by cyclocondensation of 4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-carbaldehydes 1 with coumarin-3-acetic acids 2 under mild conditions. The reaction pathway involves aldol condensation and subsequent intramolecular lactonization to afford 2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene skeleton 3. Further treatment of acetates 3 with alcohols, water or nitrogen containing compounds led to 5-alkoxy-, 5-hydroxy- or 5-acylamino-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-ones 4-6 via nucleophilic substitution of acetyloxy group at C-5. Acetates and hydroxyl derivatives 3 and 5 undergo facile rearrangement in an acid medium yielding 5-hydroxypyrano[2,3-b]chromen-2(10aH)-ones 7. Twelve prepared compounds were evaluated on their antineoplastic activities on 60 human tumour cell line panels in NCI USA. The obtained biological results confirmed that 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-one represents a new leading skeleton suitable for further antitumour activity study.
