Structural Elucidation and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Novel [1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines and Pyrido[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidinones

1,3‐Di(thiophen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one ( 1 ) was utilized in the synthesis of 4,6‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione ( 2 ) and 5,7‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one ( 4 ). The latter thiones were used in the synthesis of two new series of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines 10a – i and pyrido[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidinones 5a – i via reaction with the appropriate hydrazonoyl halides using triethylamine as a basic catalyst in dioxane. The mechanism of formation of the synthesized compounds was discussed, and the assigned structure was established via microanalysis, spectral data (infrared, ¹H NMR, and Mass), and density functional calculations. Moreover, the newly synthesized products were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities, and the results show that some derivatives have been well with mild activities. Finally, quantum chemistry calculations confirmed the mechanism and structure of the products.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines

Starting from 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, a synthesis pathway to the tricyclic pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines is described. Reaction of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidin-4-ones with phosphoryl chloride afforded the corresponding 4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines. Treatment of these compounds with hydrazine hydrate at reflux temperature gave the hydrazino derivatives, which were subsequently cyclized to the titled compounds on heating with orthoesters in ethanol.     

Furo[2,3‐d]pyrimidines and Oxazolo[5,4‐d]pyrimidines as Inhibitors of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTK)

Receptor tyrosine kinases such as VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, KDR) or EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) play crucial roles in a variety of diseases, such as cancer. Recently, some pyrrolopyrimidines were shown to be potent EGFR inhibitors. Therefore, new types of oxazolo[5,4‐d]pyrimidines and furo[2,3‐d]pyrimidines were synthesized (Schemes 1 and 2). Appropriately substituted derivatives of these classes of compounds inhibited VEGFR2 and EGFR with IC₅₀ values in the low nanomolar range (see Table). Generally, the furopyrimidines were somewhat more active than the oxazolopyrimidines. The best inhibitors, 20m, 20p , and 20r , had an IC₅₀ of 3 nM towards EGFR and showed a good selectivity, being distinctly less active towards VEGFR2.

Recyclization of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines was studied experimentally and theoretically by B3LYP/6-31G** calculations in the gas phase and in solution (EtOH). The experimentally observed characteristic features of the isomerization (the possibility of the Dimroth rearrangement occurring by the ANRORC mechanism and high energy barriers in acid-catalyzed reactions) were confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. Substituents in the triazole ring were found to play the principal role in the rearrangement. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]pyridazine derivatives II

New tricyclic 1,2,3‐triazolo‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐pyridazine derivatives, bearing a methyl substituent on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, were prepared as potential biological agents. N‐Methylation of dimethyl 1,2,3‐triazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate allowed synthesis of the isomeric 1‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy and 2‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy triazolo‐pyridazines 4a and 4b which, by a chlorination reaction, gave the corresponding 1‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐( 6a ), 1‐methyl‐7‐chloro‐ ( 6b ) and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐ ( 9 ) substituted 1,2,3‐triazolo‐pyridazines. The nucle‐ophilic substitution with hydrazine hydrate and the suitable cyclization to form the 1,2,4‐triazole ring, provided the expected tricyclic isomeric derivatives 8a, 8b and 11 respectively. The p‐methoxybenzyl substituent, introduced as a leaving group to obtain either v‐triazolo‐pyridazine or v‐triazolo‐s‐triazolo‐pyri‐dazine derivatives unsubstituted on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, appeared inadequate. Some compounds underwent binding assays toward the adenosine A₁and A_2A receptors.
