Design and synthesis of novel thiopheno-4-thiazolidinylindoles as potent antioxidant and antimicrobial agents

A novel and convenient synthesis of thiopheno-4-thiazolidinyl indole analogues is presented (IVa-IVi), with the aim of obtaining biologically active compounds. 3,5-disubstituted indol-2-carboxyhydrazides (Ia-If) were allowed to react with 3-acetyl-2,5-dichlorothiophene (II) to yield the corresponding 3,5-disubstituted indol-2-carbohydrazides (IIIa-IIIf). The pre-formed indolecarbohydrazides (IIIa-IIIf) were allowed to react with 2-mercaptoacetic acid or 2-mercaptopropanoic acid to produce thiopheno-4-thiazolidinylindoles (IVa-IVi). This reaction protocol affords a simple, eco-friendly, non-hazardous, easier preparation and high yields. The antioxidant (free radical scavenging, total antioxidant capacity and ferric-reducing antioxidant power) and antimicrobial activities of the synthesised compounds were evaluated. The structures and purity of the products were confirmed by their IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectral and analytical data. Most of the compounds tested showed very significant scavenging, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Compounds containing electron donor group (CH₃) at the fifth position of indole exhibit an excellent ferric-reducing activity. The present study suggests that compounds IIIa-IIIb, IIIf, IVa-IVc, IVf-IVi, may serve as promising lead scaffolds for antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

As a contribution to our investigations to develop multidisciplinary entities of substituted heterocycle phosphor esters, in this paper, we prepared a series of thiazolobenzimidazoles incorporating phosphor esters of potential anticancer properties. Phosphoryl reagents were applied on E-3-(N,N-dimethylamino)-1-(3-methythiazolo[3,2-a]benzoimidazol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and 1-(3-methylthiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazol-2-yl)ethanone. The reactions proceeded under mild conditions to give an ensemble of 14 new phosphonates in good yields (68–74%). The stereoselective chemistry was studied by a series of heteronuclear ¹³C[¹H]-nOe experiments. Based on the prediction studies in the early stage using PASS algorithm 14, the synthesized phosphonates were evaluated as antitumor candidates at a dose of 10 µmol/mL against human breast and human colon tumor (4 cultured cell lines each). Three products showed significant antineoplastic potency in relative to the standard drug, adriamycin. Permeability of the lead molecules was determined and the structure–activity relationship (SAR) was discussed to suggest a pro-drug chromophore. Furthermore, there was good coincidence of experimental data of antitumor properties and prediction results.

(2-Formyl-1-phenylcyclopropyl)phosphonates as building blocks for (2-aminomethyl-cyclopropyl)phosphonates

A diastereomeric mixture of dimethyl (2-formyl-2-methyl-1-phenylcyclopropyl)phosphonate ((Z)-6, (E)-6) was obtained by thermally induced cyclopropanation of α-methylacrolein with α-diazobenzylphosphonate 5. Application of proline or proline-derived organocatalysts accelerated the reaction, but had a minor effect on the Z/E ratio of 6. By reaction with benzylamine or methyl esters of glycine, (S)-alanine, and (S)-phenylalanine, the Z/E-mixture of 6 was converted into cyclopropylaldimines, which after reduction gave the corresponding N-substituted (2-aminomethyl-cyclopropyl)phosphonates.

A new series of 6-aryl-5-cyano thiouracil derivatives were synthesized. Cyanouracil 1 was condensed with monochloroacetic acid and different aldehydes to give thiazolopyrimidine 2. On the other hand, treatment of cyanouracil 1 with 2-chloro-N-substituted-phenylac etamide afforded 4. Hydrazinolysis of 6 afforded the hydrazino derivatives 7 which upon reaction with different electrophilic reagents such as acetic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, and carbon disulfide yielded pyrimidine derivatives 8–15. Some of the new derivatives were explored for their antimicrobial activities. Compounds 7 and 9 have a promising activity, relatively equipotent to the reference drug. All of the new synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antiproliferative activities against HePG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines. Compounds 7, 9, and 2d displayed potent growth inhibitory effect toward the two cell lines more than the standard drug 5-FU. Furthermore, a docking study of the most active compounds was performed with thymidylate synthase enzyme.
