Synthesis of Some Pyrazolo[3, 4]pyrimidine Derivatives for Biological Evaluation

Abstract

A novel β -enaminonitrile of 1-(6-p-tolyl-pyridazin-3-yl)-pyrazole derivative 2 was formed using (6-p-tolyl-pyridazin-3-yl)-hydrazine ( 1 ) and 2-ethoxymethylenemalononitrile. The β-enaminonitrile derivative 2 was in turn used as a precursor for the preparation of pyrazoles ( 4 , 6 ), pyrazolo[3, 4-d]-pyrimidines ( 3 , 7–12 ) and pyrazolo[4, 3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidine ( 13 ). Also, N- and S-acyclic nucleosides 14 and 15 were prepared. Some of the prepared products showed potent antimicrobial activity.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of novel 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine and pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives

2-Aminocyclopenta[d]pyrimidines 3a-c were achieved via a one-pot, three-component reactions of cyclopentanone 1, aromatic aldehyde and guanidine hydrochloride (1:2:1 molar ratio). Also, cyclization of 2,5-bis-(arylmethylidene)cyclopentanones 2 with guanidine hydrochloride (1:1 molar ratio) in methanol in the presence of sodiummethoxide afforded cyclopenta-[d]pyrimidines 3. Compound 3a has been shown to be a useful building block for the synthesis of some novel pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidines 5, 7 and 12. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of analytical and spectral data.

Synthesis of Some New Biologically Active Sulfur Compounds Containing Pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine Moiety

A novel series of the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines having biologically active sulfur moieties 3-20 were prepared via reaction of 4-mercapto-1-phenyl-1 H -pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 3 with different reagents. Identification of the new compounds was established by elemental analyses, IR, 1 H-NMR, and mass spectral data. Some of the obtained compounds showed the interesting antimicrobial activity comparable to antibiotic chloramphenicol as standard antibacterial agent and Terbinafin as a standard antifungal agent.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.     

Inherently chiral calix[4]arene-based bifunctional organocatalysts for enantioselective aldol reactions

Two optical pure m-dimethylamino substituted inherently chiral calix[4]arene derivatives 8a and 8b bearing an l-prolinamido group have been synthesized by two routes, and structurally studied by the usual spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallographic analysis. It was found that both of 8a and 8b could be utilized as bifunctional organocatalysts to efficiently promote the aldol reactions between aromatic aldehydes and ketones in the presence of acetic acid. Especially, with 8a as the catalyst, the reaction between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclopentanone at −20 °C gave the anti-aldol product up to 94% ee, while the anti-aldol product in up to 94:6 dr and 79% ee was obtained when 4-cyanobenzaldehyde was used as the aldol donor. Moreover, it was also demonstrated that the inherently chiral calixarene skeleton with (cS)-conformation in 8a was identified as the matched configuration of the stereogenic elements, and the inherently chiral moiety might play an important role in helping to stereocontrol the reaction.     

Synthesis of Substituted Pyrazino[5,6-b]pyrimidine and Some Indole Derivatives

Refluxing dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) or 1,2-dibenzoylacetylene with isatin-3-thiosemicarbazone or isatin-3-thiocarbohydrazone in methanol produced 3-substituted oxindoles in good yields. Reaction of equimolecular amounts of 5,6-diamino-urasil-solfate, trans-(1R,2R)-diaminocyclohexane, and 3,4-diamino-1,2,4-triazol-5-methyl hydrochlorid with isatin in ethanol (85%) afforded tetracyclic ring systems and ring-opened products in mild reaction conditions.

The reaction of 4-imino-1-methyl-5-phenyl-6-propargylthio-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine with halogens leads to the formation of (Z)-8-halomethylene-4-imino-1-methyl-5-phenyl-4,5,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinium trihalide. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1085–1088, July, 2008.

All the novel spiro compounds, in moderate yields, were characterized thoroughly by infrared, NMR, mass spectromentry, and elemental analysis together with x-ray crystallographic analysis.     

Synthesis of 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0]nonanes by intramolecular haloetherification and/or transannular hydroxycyclization of alkenes in [4+3]-cycloadducts

The synthesis of new difunctionalized 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonanes is described. This type of structure is an interesting synthetic building block for potential bioactive molecules and it was prepared from 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one having a NHBoc function on C-1. This precursor was obtained by a [4+3] cycloaddition reaction of 2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminofuran and the oxyallyl cation generated in situ from 2,4-dibromo-3-pentanone. Reduction of the carbonyl group at C-3 was accomplished in high yield and stereoselective manner to afford the corresponding axial alcohol at C-3 as a major product. Further intramolecular haloetherification of this type of alcohols with NBS and I(py)2BF₄ led to the corresponding bromo and iodo-derivatives at C-8 of the 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonane framework, in high yield. Epoxidation of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-ol followed by treatment with NaCN, NaN₃, and/or NaOH in MeOH afforded 8-hydroxy-2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonanes in high yield via a transannular hydroxycyclization mediated by a base and through an alkoxide intermediate. The new 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonanes were tested for biological activity against HIV-1 virus and MT-4 lymphoid cell line, showing a low anti-HIV activity and a high degree of cytotoxicity.
