Solid phase synthesis and application of trisubstituted thioureas

Resin-bound amines 1a-e condense with isothiocyanates to give thiourea resins 2a-i. Resins 2a-g subsequently react with iodomethane followed by cleavage affording S-methyl isothioureas 4a-g, and resins 2a-b,h-i react with acyl chlorides to afford N-acylated thioureas 6a-d. N-Acylthioureas 8a-f (R(2) = H) were prepared directly from resin-bound amines 1a-d with acyl isothiocyanates. N-Acylthioureas 8a-d,f(R(2) = H) were used for the preparation of S-methyl-N-acylisothioureas 10a-e. Alkylation was performed using methyl iodide. Resin-bound S-methyl-N-acylisothioureas 10a,b,d are converted by an action of hydrazines into 3-amino-1,2,4-triazoles 13a-d. Condensation of resins 8a-e (R(2) = H) with 2-bromoacetophenones in the presence of TEA affords thiazoles 15 a-e. All transformations proceeded in high yields and gave products of good purities.     

Synthesis of fused heteroarylprolines and pyrrolopyrroles

Fused heteroarylprolines were prepared starting from 4-oxo-N-(PhF)proline benzyl ester (6, PhF = 9-(9-phenylfluorenyl)) following two approaches. First, allylation of oxoproline 6 followed by Wacker oxidation gave 1,4-dione 8 that was selectively converted to pyrroloproline 10b, pyrrolopyrrole 12, and pyridazinoproline 9. Second, aldol condensation of oxoproline 6 with a series of N-(Boc)-alpha-amino aldehydes 15a-e and acid-catalyzed cyclization gave pyrroloprolines 17a-e possessing a variety of pyrrole 5-position substituents. Conditions for the selective deprotection and alkylation of the pyrrole nitrogen of pyrroloprolines 17 were developed to expand the diversity of the heteoaryl systems. Finally, hydrogenolytic cleavage of the PhF and benzyl groups followed by subsequent protection with Boc, Fmoc, and Moz groups was performed to obtain analogues suitable for peptide synthesis. The enantiomeric purity of N-(Boc)pyrrolo-proline 21a was ascertained by coupling to l- and d-phenylalanine methyl ester and examination of the diastereotopic pyrrole protons, which demonstrated the dipeptides to be of >99% diastereomeric purity. These approaches have thus delivered the first series of enantiopure fused arylprolines for application as arylglycine-proline chimeras in structure-activity studies of biologically active compounds.     

5-(5-Aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbonyl)furan-3-carboxylate and new cyclic C-glycoside analogues from carbohydrate precursors with MAO-B, antimicrobial and antifungal activities

Cyclization of acyclic C-glycoside derivatives 1a,b to 2a,b as the major isomers, and 4a,b as the minor isomers were carried out. The isopropylidene derivatives 3a,b were prepared, as well as the hydrazide derivative 6, which was condensed with a variety of aldehydes to give hydrazones 7a-e which were also prepared from the compounds 12a-e. Acetylation of 7a,d gave the corresponding acetyl derivatives 8a,d, respectively. In addition, the dicarbonyl compound 9 was prepared in the hydrate form, which reacted with a number of aroylhydrazines to give the corresponding bisaroylhydrazones 10a-d, which were cyclized into 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 11a-d. Furthermore, two of the prepared compounds were examined to show the ability to activate MAO-B. In addition a number of prepared compounds showed antibacterial and antiviral activities.     

Synthesis and absorption spectra of 2-substituted 5,8-dimethoxy-4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-one 1,1-dioxides

2,3-Dibromo-5,8-dimethoxy-4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-one (thiochromone) 1,1-dioxide which was a starting material to prepare sulfone analogues of 1,4-naphthoquinone dyes was easily prepared from 5,8-dimethoxythiochroman-4-one by oxidation and bromination. The reactions of 2,3-dibromo-5,8-dimethoxythiochromone 1,1-dioxide 4 with aliphatic and aromatic amines in ethanol below 20° gave 2-substituted derivatives 12a-e and at higher reaction temperature the amination gave 2-arylamino derivatives 13c-e debrominated at C -3. The visible absorption spectra of these derivatives were investigated by the PPP MO method.     

Benzotriazole-assisted thioacylation

[Chemical reaction: See text] Benzotriazole reagents for thioacylation (RCSBt), thiocarbamoylation (RR'NCSBt), aryl/alkoxythioacylation (ROCSBt), and aryl/alkylthiothioacylation (RSCSBt) are synthesized, and their utility is assessed by syntheses of representative heteroaryl thioureas 3a-g, thioamides 15a-s, thionoesters 16a-h, thiocarbamates 17a-e, dithiocarbamates 18a-d, thiocarbonates 19a-c, and dithiocarbonates 20a-c.     

Synthesis and Kinetic Evaluation of Inhibitors of the Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus

Substrate analogues of phosphatidylinositol (1) were synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of the bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from Bacillus cereus. The chiral analogues of the water-soluble phospholipid substrate 5 were designed to probe the effects of varying the inositol C-2 hydroxyl group, which is generally believed to serve as the nucleophile in the first step of the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols by PI-PLC. In the analogues 6-9, the C-2 hydroxyl group on the inositol ring of the phosphatidylinositol derivatives was rationally altered in several ways. Inversion of the stereochemistry at C-2 of the inositol ring led to the scyllo derivative 6. The inositol C-2 hydroxy group was replaced with inversion by a fluorine to produce the scyllo-fluoro inositol 7 and with a hydrogen atom to furnish the 2-deoxy compound 8. The C-2 hydroxyl group was O-methylated to prepare the methoxy derivative 9. The natural inositol configuration at C-2 was retained in the nonhydrolyzable phosphorodithioate analogue 10. The inhibition of PI-PLC by each of these analogues was then analyzed in a continuous assay using D-myo-inositol 1-(4-nitrophenyl phosphate) (25) as a chromogenic substrate. The kinetic parameters for each of these phosphatidylinositol derivatives were determined, and each was found to be a competitive inhibitor with K(i)'s as follows: 6, 0.2 mM; 10, 0.6 mM; 8, 2.6 mM; 9, 6.6 mM; and 7, 8.8 mM. This study further establishes that the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol analogues by bacterial PI-PLC requires not only the presence of a C-2 hydroxyl group on the inositol ring, but the stereochemistry at this position must also correspond to the natural myo-configuration. For future inhibitor design, it is perhaps noteworthy that the best inhibitors 6 and 10 each possess a hydroxyl group at the C-2 position. Several of the inhibitors identified in this study are now being used to obtain crystallographic information for an enzyme-inhibitor complex to gain further insights regarding the mechanism of hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositides by this PI-PLC.

The aminobarbituric acid-hydantoin rearrangement

A general synthesis protocol for the generation of tri- and tetrasubstituted 5-carbamoylhydantoins is described. Starting from barbituric acids and following bromination and reaction with primary amines, 5-aminobarbituric acids 3a-s and 8 were prepared. Compounds 3 and 8 were subjected to different conditions of a base-catalyzed rearrangement reaction to yield the 1,5,5-trisubstituted hydantoins 4a-s and the 1,3,5,5-tetrasubstituted hydantoin 5c, respectively. Alkylation of 4a-s afforded 1,3,5,5-tetrasubstituted hydantoins 5a-h. Mechanisms that explain the transformation of corresponding aminobarbituric acids to hydantoins 4a-s and 5c were discussed in terms of the formation of ring-opened intermediates. Aminobarbituric acids 3a-s unsubstituted at position 3 underwent a ring contraction via intermediate isocyanates which were trapped by the amino function. A different mechanism involving a carbamate intermediate was concluded for conversion of the 1,3,5,5-tetrasubstituted aminobarbituric acid 8.     

Oxime-based salen-type tetradentate ligands with high stability against imine metathesis reaction

Although salen and its analogues are versatile chelate ligands in inorganic and organometallic chemistry, synthesis of unsymmetrical salen derivatives consisting of two different salicylideneimine moieties is difficult because of the C=N bond recombination. To develop stable analogues of salen-type ligands, we synthesized a series of new ligands salamo (=1,2-bis(salicylideneaminooxy)ethane) on the basis of O-alkyl oxime instead of the imine moiety. Eight salamo ligands 1a-h were prepared in 64-88% yields as colorless crystals from the corresponding salicylaldehydes 2a-h. The crystal structure of 1a-c suggests that the oxime-OH form is more predominant than the keto-NH form. The reaction of 2a-e with excess 1,2-bis(aminooxy)ethane gave monooximes 3a-e in 59-86%, which further reacted with a different salicylaldehyde to afford unsymmetrical salamo ligands 4-8 as stable crystals in 51-70%. No reaction took place when a mixture of salamo derivatives 1a and 1b was treated at 40 degrees C in H2O/MeCN (5:95). However, the metathesis reaction of salen derivatives 9a and 9b completed in 2 h to give a statistical mixture. Monooxime 3b was much more stable than monoimine 11 which is difficult to be isolated. These results indicate the extremely high stability of the salamo derivatives 1 and precursors 3.     

Synthesis of some new 4,5-substituted-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivatives

In this study appropriate hydrazide compounds, furan-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1) and phenylacetic acid hydrazide (2) were converted into 1,4-substituted thiosemicarbazides 4a-e and 5a-e and 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl or benzyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 7 and 10. The 1,4-substituted thiosemicarbazides were then converted into 5-(furan-2-yl or benzyl)-4-(aryl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 8a-e and 9a-e. In addition, the azomethines 11a-d and 12a-d were prepared from the corresponding arylaldehydes and the 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl or benzyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 7 and 10. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, (1)H-NMR and(13) C-NMR spectra.

A two-step synthesis of diaminofurazan and synthesis of N-monoarylmethyl and N,N′-diarylmethyl derivatives

Diaminofurazan (1) was synthesized from glyoxal (2) by an improved two-step procedure. The N-mono-arylmethyl derivatives 4a-e and N-N'-diarylmethyl derivatives 5a-e of 1 were prepared in good yields by reductive alkylation with the corresponding aryl aldehydes.     

Synthesis of polycyclic pyridazinediones as chemiluminescent compounds

Reactions of 1,3-disubstituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carbonitrile derivatives 3a-o with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide gave the corresponding dimethyl 1,3-disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylates 4a-o which were allowed to react with excess hydrazine hydrate under ethanol refluxing conditions followed by heating at 250-300° to give 1,3-disubstituted 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine-5,8(6H,7H)-diones 7a-s in good yields. Similarly, 1,3-disubstituted 4-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[4′3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine-5,8(6H,7H)-diones 10a-c were obtained from alkyl 1,3-disubstituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxylates 8a-c . These tricyclic pyridazine derivatives were alternatively synthesized from 4-hydroxypyrrolo[3,4-e]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,7-diones 13a-c prepared by reactions of 5-aminopyrazoles (8e-g) with methyl 1-methyl-4-methylthio-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (11a) followed by the Gould/Jacobs reaction. 1-Methyl-4-methylthio-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile smoothly reacted with 2-aminobenzimidazoles to give the corresponding 5-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3′4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-1,3(2H)-diones 16a-e , which were readily converted to the desired 12-aminopyridazino[4′,5′:4,5]pyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 17a-e in good yields. Other pyridazinopyrimidine derivatives were also obtained by the reaction of the corresponding 2-aminoheterocycles with the maleimide in good yields. Substituted anilines reacted 11b in refluxing methanol to give the corresponding methyl 4-phenylamino-1-methyl-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates 25a-e which were converted in good yields to 2-methylpyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline derivatives 26a-e by heating in diphenyl ether. Reaction of 26a-c with hydrazine hydrate gave 10-hydroxypyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 27a-e in good yields. The desired 10-aminopyridazino[4,5-b]pyridazine-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 30a-e were obtained in good yields by the chlorination of 4a-e with phosphorus oxychloride followed by aminolysis with 28% ammonium hydroxide. Some pyridazino[4,5-a][2.2.3]cyclazine-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 37a,b as luminescent compounds were synthesized via several steps from indolizine derivatives. The key intermediates, dimethyl 6-dimethylamino[2.2.3]cyclazine-1,2-dicarboxylates 34, 36 , were synthesized by the [8 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of the corresponding 7-dimethylaminoindolizines 33, 35 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of Pd-C in refluxing toluene. Some were found to be more efficient than luminol in light production. 4-Amino-3-methylsufonyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine-5,8(6H,7H)-dione (7r) , 10-hydroxypyridazino[4,5-b]-quinoline-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 27a-e , and 10-aminopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 30a-e showed the greatest chemiluminescence intensity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide peroxidase in a solution of phosphate buffer at pH 8.0.     

Studies on Quinazolines. Part I. Annelation to the Quinazoline Ring Utilizing Amino Acid Esters

The reaction of quinazoline-4(3H)-thiones 2a-d with amino acid ester hydrochlorides in boiling solvents, under the basic catalysis, afforded the corresponding substitution products (3-6)a-e in low yield. The reaction could be improved by carrying it without a solvent yielding imidazo[1,2-c]- and pyrimido[1,2-c]quinazolines (7-10)a-e . The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the prepared compounds were tested.     

Imidazo[1,5-g][1,4]diazepines, TIBO analogues lacking the phenyl ring: synthesis and evaluation as anti-HIV agents.

The imidazo[1,5-g][1,4]diazepine derivatives 7a and 7b, analogues of TIBO lacking the aromatic ring, were prepared as part of a research program to find compounds displaying antiviral activity against HIV-2 and resistant strains of HIV-1. Condensation of N-trityl and N-tosyl 4-(2-chloroethyl)-imidazole with the appropriate amino alcohols gave compounds 10a-c and 16a-e. The hydroxyl group in these intermediates was activated toward closure of the [1,4]diazepine ring by either conversion to the corresponding chloro derivative, or by N → O transfer of the tosyl group. However, only cyclization to compounds 13a and 13b proved efficient. These products were converted to the target molecules 7 by reaction of their C-2 anion with S₈. In vitro evaluation of compounds 7a,b and 13,a,b in cell culture (CEM SS/HIV-1-LAI and CEM SS/HIV 1 nevirapine resistant cells) revealed that only 13b displayed minimal activity.     

Synthesis and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of some 1,2,4-triazol-5(3)-one derivatives

In this study, starting from 4-amino-5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-one ( 1 ), the 4-Amino-5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-undecyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one ( 2 ) was first synthesized and this compound was converted to Schiff base derivatives ( 3a-e ). In the second step of the study, the 2-[3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-oxo-1-undecyl-1,5-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-triazole-4-yl]-acetohydrazide ( 6 ), which was used as a key product in the synthesis of many heterocyclic compounds was synthesized in four steps, and then this compound was converted into methylidene acetohydrazide ( 7a-e ), thiosemicarbazide ( 8a-e ), and 1,2,4-triazole-5-thione ( 9a-e ) derivatives. Also, in the last part of the study, 1,2,4-triazole-5-thione derivatives were changed into Mannich bases ( 10a-b ) bearing a 4-phenylpiperazine ring. These new compounds were tested with regard to pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibition activity, and compound 3b , 3d , 7d , 8d , and 9d showed a considerable anti-lipase activity at various concentrations. The activity of compounds 7b (IC₅₀ = 1.45 ± 0.12 μM) was the highest in terms of IC₅₀, comparable to that of orlistat, a well-known PL inhibitor used as an antiobesity drug.     

Garlicnins B(1), C(1), and D, from the fraction regulating macrophage activation of Allium sativum

Several novel sulfides from acetone extracts of bulbs of garlic (Allium sativum L.), were identified and investigated. These were named garlicnins B(1) (1), C(1) (2), and D (3), and they were found to have the ability to control macrophage activation. Garlicnins B(1) (1) and C(1) (2) possess a new skeleton of cyclic sulfoxide and their structures of garlicnins B(1) (1) and C(1) (2) were characterized as 3,4-dimethyltetrahydrothiophene-S-oxide derivatives carrying the substitutions of a propenyl and a sulfenic acid, and an allyldithiine and a 1-propene-sulfenic acid (a), respectively. The mechanism of the proposed production of these compounds is discussed. Garlicnin D (3), dithiine-type, was estimated to be derived by addition of (a)+allyl thiosulfenic acid (b) derived from allicin. The identification of these novel sufoxides from onion and garlic accumulates a great deal of new chemistry to the Allium sulfide field, and future pharmacological investigations aid the development of natural, healthy foods and anti-cancer agents that could potentially prevent or combat disease.     

Ruthenium complexes of easily accessible tridentate ligands based on the 2-aryl-4,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-s-triazine motif: absorption spectra, luminescence properties, and redox behavior

A family of tridendate ligands 1 a-e, based on the 2-aryl-4,6-di(2-pyridyl)-s-triazine motif, was prepared along with their hetero- and homoleptic Ru(II) complexes 2 a-e ([Ru(tpy)(1 a-e)](2+); tpy=2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) and 3 a-e ([(Ru(1 a-e)(2)](2+)), respectively. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, ES-MS, and elemental analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2 a and 2 e demonstrated that the triazine core is nearly coplanar with the non-coordinating ring, with dihedral angles of 1.2 and 18.6 degrees, respectively. The redox behavior and electronic absorption and luminescence properties (both at room temperature in liquid acetonitrile and at 77 K in butyronitrile rigid matrix) were investigated. Each species undergoes one oxidation process centered on the metal ion, and several (three for 2 a-e and four for 3 a-e) reduction processes centered on the ligand orbitals. All compounds exhibit intense absorption bands in the UV region, assigned to spin-allowed ligand-centered (LC) transitions, and moderately intense spin-allowed metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) absorption bands in the visible region. The compounds exhibit relatively intense emissions, originating from triplet MLCT levels, both at 77 K and at room temperature. The incorporation of triazine rings and the near planarity of the noncoordinating ring increase the luminescence lifetimes of the complexes by lowering the energy of the (3)MLCT state and creating a large energy gap to the dd state.
