Investigation of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles. 39. Reactions of 2-mercapto-3-ureido- and 2-mercapto-3-aminopyridines with β-halo carbonyl compounds. Synthesis of 6-oxo derivatives of pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]thiazepines

The reaction of 2-mercapto-3-ureido- and 2-mercapto-3-aminopyridines with -halo derivatives of carbonyl compounds (ketones, acids, and aldehydes) and with acrylonitrile proceeds not only via the mercapto group but also via the amino group, as a result of which S--keto (carboxy, cyano) alkyl, N,S-bis(-ketoalkyl), and N,S-diacyl derivatives of pyridine are formed. The action of acids, alkalis, and dehydrating agents on 2-S--keto (carboxy, cyano) ethyl-3-aminoureidopyridines was studied. A method for the preparation of derivatives of a new heterocyclic system, viz., 6-oxopyrido [2,3-b] [1,5] thiazepine, by the reaction of 2-mercapto-3-aminopyridines with -bromopropionic acid and subsequent treatment of 2-(-car-boxyethyl) thio-8-aminopyridines with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was developed.See [5] for Communication 38.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 634–639, May, 1981.     

Reaction of alkylsulfenyl chlorides with crotonic acid and its derivatives

Conclusions -Chloro--alkthiobutyric acid derivatives were obtained by the addition of methylsulfenyl chloride and-chloroethylsulfenyl chloride to crotonie acid and its derivatives, which isomerize quite rapidly to-alkthio--chlorobutyric acid derivatives. An exception are the acid chlorides of the-chloro--alkthio-butyric acids, which do not isomerize spontaneously.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2247–2249, October, 1972.

Comparative study on inclusion complexations of antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen with β-cyclodextrin and methylated β-cyclodextrins

Abstruct Some physicochemical properties of methylated -cyclodextrins, i.e., heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CyD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TM--CyD) were compared with those of natural -cyclodextrin (-CyD). Inclusion behaviors of -CyD and methylated -CyDs in water and in solid state were studied by solubility analysis, spectroscopies (UV, CD,¹³C-NMR and IR), X-ray diffractometry and thermal analysis, using an antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen (FP) as a guest molecule. The spectral data suggest that the inclusion mode of FP-TM--CyD is somewhat different from those of FP--CyD and FP-DM--CyD. The solid complexes of FP with - and methylated -CyDs were obtained in molar ratio of 11, and their dissolution behavior and release from suppository base were examined. The data are presented suggesting that DM--CyD is particularly useful for improving the pharmaceutical properties of FP in various dosage forms.

Reaction of dimethylaminomethylenemalonaldehyde bis-N,O-acetal with ketones. A novel route to N-methylpyrroles

Condensation of the bis-N,O-acetal of amethylarrtinomethylenerrzalonaldehyde with ketones, -dimethylaminovinylketones, and -dimethylaminodienones is accompanied by an unusual intramolecular cyclization to give cross conjugated cyclic or acylic ketones containing an N-methyl pyrrole ring in the - or - and'-positions. This is a novel route to substituted pyrroles. Treatment of the bis-N,O-acetal of dimethylaminomethylenemalonaldehyde with 2-(3'-dimethylaminopropen-2'-ylidene)cyclopentanone gave a polyenyl tris-dimethylaminodiketone.N. D.

Prolonged release of drug from triacetyl-β-CyD complex for oral and rectal administration

Triacetyl--cyclodextrin (TA--CyD), a hydrophobic cyclodextrin derivative, that is insoluble in water, was used to form a complex with flufenamic acid (FA). FA-TA--CyD complex formation was demonstrated by differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffractometry. The release rate of FA from the FA-TA--CyD complexes in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 was significantly retarded compared to that of FA from the FA and glucose mixture. When the FA-TA--CyD complexes were administered directly into the intraduodenal lumen, the plasma concentration of FA remained at a plateau level (10-18 g/ml) for 6–8 h. An increased mean residence time of FA following FA-TA--CyD complexes administration was observed. These results indicate that TA--CyD may serve as a hydrophobic carrier in prolonged-release preparations of FA.

Reactions ofβ-chloroethyl derivatives of tricoordinated phosphorus acids with 1-nitro-1-propene

Conclusions The reactions of the-chloroethyl derivatives of trivalent phosphorus acids proceed via an ionic intermediate, which, depending on the experimental conditions, is stabilized in the direction of ring closure to give an adduct with a pentacovalent phosphorus atom and the formation of the corresponding unsaturated and (-methyl--nitroethyl)phosphoryl compounds. The liberated-chloroethyl nitrite functions as an oxidizing agent of the starting-chloroethyl derivatives of trivalent phosphorus acids.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1398–1401, June, 1978.The authors thank É.
