Synthesis and anti-intestinal nematode activity of variously substituted benzonaphthyridine derivatives

A series of benzonaphthyridine derivatives bearing the C=N linkage moiety were designed and synthesized. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were identified by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS. Their anti-intestinal nematode activities against Nippostrongylus brazilliensis were evaluated in vivo by an oral route in male rats. Among these compounds, at concentrations of 10 mg/kg of rat, the compound 7-chloro-2-methoxy-10-(4-(4'-(1H-indol-5'-yl)methylene)aminophenyl)-amino-benzo[b][1,5] naphthyridine (4n) produced the highest activity, with 80.2% deparasitization. These compounds may find usefulness in the discovery and development of new anti-intestinal drugs.     

A study on synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 4-acyl-pyrazoles

4-Acyl-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids (1) were synthesized via the reaction of 4-acyl-2,3-furandiones (F) with hydrazone (1-benzylidene-2-(2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-hydrazine) by heating under solid phase and their acid chlorides (2) were obtained. Then these derivatives were easily converted into the corresponding derivatives such as ester, amide, ureide, pyrazolo-pyridazine, etc. Totally 62 new compounds were synthesized. The structures of these new synthesized compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods and the in vitro antibacterial activity of newly synthesized compounds were carried out against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by well diffusion method (zone inhibition). Our results have showed that these new synthesized compounds have much potent of antibacterial activity owing to containing of pyrazole and/or pyridazine, chromone, oxazine, furane, and pyrrole rings. Some of the new pyrazole derivatives exhibited higher activities than reference drugs against the representative bacteria.

Condensation of 3-acetyl-8-ethoxycoumarin (3) with thiosemicarbazide gave ethylidenehydrazinecarbothioamide 5, which was transformed into the thiazolidin-4-one derivatives 6,7. Interaction of 3 with DMF/POCl(3) gave b-chloroacroline derivative 8. Treatment of 3 with malononitrile gave benzo[c]chromone and 2-aminobenzonitrile derivatives 9 and 10, respectively with respect to the reaction conditions. Condensation of 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-8-ethoxycoumarin (4) with o-phenylenediamine gave 3-(quioxaline-2-yl)-8-ethoxycoumarin hydrobromide (11), while 4 reacted with 2-aminopyridine to give chromenopyridopyrimidine derivative 12.

Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-6-Methyl- and 3-Hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridines and Their Sulfur-Containing Amino and Hydroxymethyl Derivatives

The aminomethylation of 3-hydroxy-6-methyl- and 3-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridines by secondary amines has been investigated. It was shown that like 2-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridine aminomethylation is directed primarily to position 6 and then 4 of the pyridine ring. On heating the aminomethyl derivatives of 3-hydroxy-6-methyl- and 3-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridines with acetic anhydride the corresponding acetoxy derivatives were obtained, which were converted on heating with hydrochloric or hydrobromic acids into hydroxy and bromomethyl derivatives. Isothioureidomethyl and benzimidazolylthiomethyl derivatives were synthesized by heating the bromomethyl-substituted derivative with thiourea or with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. The structures of compounds were confirmed by data of ¹H NMR spectra. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1189–1194, August, 2005.     

Synthesis and iNOS/nNOS inhibitory activities of new benzoylpyrazoline derivatives

A series of new Δ²-pyrazoline derivatives has been synthesized by means of a 1,3-dipolar-cycloaddition reaction. Ethyl 3-(5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoyl)-Δ²-pyrazoline-5-carboxylate (5a) has been designed for the formation of the benzoylpyrazoline system present in these derivatives. Two synthetic routes have been utilized changing the starting products in the cycloaddition reaction. In both routes, the majority product obtained was only a Δ²-pyrazoline. The intermediate ethyl 1-acyl-3-(2-nitrobenzoyl-5-substituted)-Δ²-pyrazoline-5-carboxylate derivatives have been transformed into the final compounds by means of several chemical treatments. The compounds have been biologically evaluated as inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), showing better affinity towards the inducible NOS isoform than versus neuronal NOS.

Urea and thiourea derivatives of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1, 2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine: Synthesis,characterization, antimicrobial activity and docking studies

Abstract

An efficient and robust synthetic procedure was developed primarily for the synthesis of a precursor compound; 3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1, 2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine (11), from 2-chloropyrazine (7) through the chemical transformations such as hydrazine substitution, trifluoroacetyl group induction, cyclization and pyrazine ring reduction. A new series of urea derivatives 13a-e and thiourea derivatives 13f-j of compound 11 have been synthesized and the structures of all the compounds were confirmed using spectroscopic analyses such as IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, LC-MS and HRMS. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against five bacteria and two fungi, in which compounds 13d, 13i and 13j displayed potential activity against bacterial strains and 13a, 13d, 13g and 13j against fungal strains with the MIC values in the range of 6.25–25.0 µg/mL. An overall comparison of the activity results revealed that thiourea derivatives contain better activity than that of urea compounds. Molecular docking studies on poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 15 (ARTD7, BAL3) demonstrated that all the synthesized compounds possess significant binding energies (-8.1 to -9.8?kcal/mol) with no adverse effect in the active site of protein.

Triazole antifungals. II. Synthesis and antifungal activities of 3-acyl-4-methyloxazolidine derivatives

Triazole compounds with an oxazolidine ring were designed and synthesized as a potential inhibitor of the fungal cytochrome P450 14 alpha-demethylase. In testing for antifungal activity against a mouse systemic Candida albicans infection, (4R,5R)-3-acyl-4-methyloxazolidine derivatives 4 exhibited remarkably high efficacy after oral or parenteral dosing. The potent activity of 4 is hypothesized to be a consequence of a structural similarity between 4 and lanosterol, a target molecule of the cytochrome P450 14 alpha-demethylase. Highly stereoselective synthesis of these oxazolidines is also described.     

Ultrasound-assisted synthesis and anticancer evaluation of new pyrazole derivatives as cell cycle inhibitors

We designed new pyrazole derivatives as inhibitors of the cell cycle kinases and developed a simple environmentally sustainable synthesis process. We synthesized the pyrazolyl thiourea derivatives using rapid ultrasound mediated methods and confirmed their structures by NMR and IR spectra.

Design,synthesis, and characterization of novel pyrimidines bearing indole as antimicrobial agents

Pyrimidines and pyrimidine bearing indole derivatives are very important species in organic chemistry due to their wide use as bioactive compounds with a broad range of good biological activities. Due to the wide spread of different species of bacteria and fungi nowadays, in the present work, a novel series of indolyl‐pyrimidines (2–13) were synthesized starting from 3‐chloro‐1H‐indole‐2‐carbaldehyde (1) . Elemental analysis, IR, 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR, and mass spectral data elucidated the structure of newly synthesized compounds. All compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity, and they demonstrated promising results; all the new compounds synthesized from compound (1) , which allowed reactions with thiourea and ethyl cyanoacetate, gave the target compound (2) , which was used as a precursor for the synthesis of indolylthiazolopyrimidine derivatives (3–8) by reactions with halocarbonyl compounds such as chloroacetone, phancyl bromide, and chloroacetic acid through alkylation of the mercapto group followed by cyclization through a nucleophilic attack. When compound (2) subjected to react with hydrazine hydrate gave 4‐indolyl‐2‐hydrazinopyrimidine (5) , the latter compound, when allowed to react with ethyl chloroacetate or diethyloxalate, gave indolylpyrimidotriazine derivatives (10 , 11) ; in contrast, when the compound reacted with acetic anhydride or formic acid, it gave triazolopyrimidine derivatives (12, 13) .     

Regioselective and stereospecific acylation across oxirane- and silyloxy systems as a novel strategy to the synthesis of enantiomerically pure mono-, di- and triglycerides

A trifluoroacetate-catalyzed opening of the oxirane ring of glycidyl derivatives bearing allylic acyl or alkyl functionalities with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), provides an efficient entry to configurationally homogeneous 1(3)-acyl- or 1(3)-O-alkyl-sn-glycerols. Selective introduction of tert-butyldimethylsilyl- (TBDMS), or triisopropylsilyl- (TIPS) transient protections at the terminal sites within these key intermediates secures 1(3)-acyl- or 1(3)-O-alkyl-3(1)-O-TBDMS (or TIPS)-sn-glycerols as general bifunctional precursors to 1,2(2,3)-diacyl-, 1(3)-O-alkyl-2-acyl- and 1,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols and hence triester isosters. Incorporation of a requisite acyl residue at the central carbon of the silylated synthons with a subsequent Et(3)N.3HF-promoted, direct trichloroacetylation across the siloxy system by trichloroacetic anhydride (TCAA), followed by cleavage of the trichloroacetyl group, affords the respective 1,2(2,3)-diacyl- or 1(3)-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerols. Alternatively, a reaction sequence involving: (i) attachment of a trichloroacetyl fragment at the stereogenic C2-centre of the monosilylated glycerides; (ii) replacement of the silyl moiety by a short- or long-chain carboxylic acid residue by means of the acylating agent: tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBABr)-carboxylic acid anhydride (CAA)-trimethylsilyl bromide (TMSBr); and (iii) removal of the trichloroacetyl replacement, provides pure 1,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols. The TBABr-CAA-TMSBr reagent system allows also a one-step conversion of 1,2-diacylglycerol silyl ethers into homochiral triglycerides with predefined asymmetry and degree of unsaturation. These compounds can also be accessed via a two-step one-pot approach where the trichloroacetyl derivatives of 1,2(2,3)- or 1,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols serve as triester building blocks for establishing the third ester bond at preselected C3(1)- or C2-positions within the glycerol skeleton at the very last synthetic stage. In all instances, the target compounds were produced under mild conditions, in high enantiomeric purity, and in practically quantitative yields.     

Photolysis of 3-(1-acyl-5-aryl-3-pyrazolinyl)coumarins—Effective Fluorescence Decay

Photophysical characteristics of new 3-(1-acyl-5-aryl-3-pyrazolinyl)coumarins have been measured. These coumarin derivatives are found to be effective fluorophores and show high values of quantum yields of fluorescence both in nonpolar and in polar solvents. The 3-(1-acyl-5-aryl-3-pyrazolinyl)coumarins turned to be photosensitive compounds and undergo photolysis under irradiation in the range of 310–465 nm. Photolysis is suggested to include retro-cyclization and retro-condensation steps. The process is accompanied by a sharp drop of fluorescence that can be of interest for the creation of new media in optical recording of information.
