Synthesis and antitumor activities of 2‐(substituted)phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyridines

Twenty‐three 2‐(substituted)phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyridines have been synthesized by cycloadditison reaction between N‐amino methylpyridinium mesitylenesulfonates and substituted benzonitriles under the presence of potassium hydroxide at room temperature. The structures of all products were confirmed by ¹H NMR, MS and elemental analyses. The antitumor activities of these compounds were evaluated against human ovary cancer cell line (HO‐8910) in vitro by MTT method. The preliminary results showed that compound 1e (IC₅₀ 28μM) and compound 1w (IC₅₀ 31μM) exhibited stronger antitumor activities than cisplatin (IC₅₀ 35μM) in vitro. Hence, 1e and 1w have potential antitumor activities and are worth further investigation.

A Facile One‐Pot Three‐Component Synthesis of 5‐(Trifluoromethyl)‐4,7‐dihydro‐[1,2,4]‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine Derivatives in Ionic Liquid

An efficient one‐pot synthesis of 5‐(trifluoromethyl)‐4,7‐dihydro‐7‐aryl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives was performed via the reaction of aryl aldehyde, 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole and ethyl 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐oxobutanoate or 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenylbutane‐1,3‐dione in ionic liquid.

Abstract  

An efficient and facile multicomponent procedure for the synthesis of highly substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines by reaction of equimolar amounts of aromatic aldehyde, CH-acid, and 5-amino-1,2,3-triazole in refluxing dimethylformamide is described.     

Triazolylbenzimidazolthiones and derivatives of the new 1,2,3‐triazolo[ 1,5‐a][ 1,3,5]benzotriazepine heterocycle

Four new triazolylbenzimidazolthione derivatives (2a‐d), analogous to triazolylbenzimidazolone derivatives previously tested as activators of the BK_Ca potassium channels, were prepared and assayed without success. Some derivatives of a new tricyclic nitrogen heterocycle, 1,2,3‐triazolo[1,5‐a][1,3,5]benzo‐triazepine, bearing a carboxamido group in the 3 position, other substituents in the 8 position and a carbonyl (5a‐d) or thione (6a‐c) or methylthio (7a‐c) function in the 5 position were synthesised. The nucleophilic displacement of the methylthio substituent with morpholine or cyclopentylamine provided the 5‐amino‐substituted tricyclic derivatives 8a‐d. Starting from the l‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐4‐cyano‐5‐amino‐1,2,3‐triazole (9), the 3‐cyano‐triazolobenzotriazepin‐5‐one derivative 12 was also obtained. The majority of the new compounds were tested towards the BK_Ca potassium channels, the benzodiazepine and adenosine A₁ and A_2a receptors, but no remarkable activity was detected.     

Synthesis of new pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridines

While 3(5)‐aminopyrazole reacts with enaminonitrile to yield pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines, 3‐amino‐5‐pyrazolone reacts with the same reagents to yields pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridines.     

Synthesis and anti-tumor activities of novel [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

A series of novel [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives has been designed and synthesized in order to find novel anti-tumor compounds. The structures of all the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Their anti-tumor activities against cancer cell lines (HT-1080 and Bel-7402) were tested by the MTT method in vitro. Among them, compound 19 displayed the best anti-tumor activity with IC50 values of 12.3 microM and 6.1 microM against Bel-7402 and HT-1080 cell lines respectively.     

Reactions of 4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 5,7‐diphenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2a‐f led to the formation of the alkylated heterocycles 3a‐f (Figure 1). However, the reaction of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 5 ) with 2a‐c yielded under the same conditions the triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolines 6a‐c (Figure 3). In this case, the alkylation is followed by a cyclocondensation. The structure elucidation of the products is based on ir, ms, ¹H and ¹³C nmr measurements and on an X‐ray diffraction study.

The newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, spectral data, and alternative synthetic route whenever possible.     

Synthesis and properties of novel α‐(1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐2‐oxyl)phosphonate derivatives

In an attempt to discover novel compounds with high activity and low toxicity, a series of new phosphonate derivatives containing triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine moieties have been designed and synthesized by a nucleophilic substitution between α‐hydroxyphosphonates and 2‐methanesulfonyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines. The structures of all compounds prepared were confirmed by elemental analyses and by NMR and MS spectroscopy. The results of preliminary bioassay indicate that the title compounds possess certain selective herbicidal activity against rape and also, to some extent, inhibit of acetolactase synthase activity. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Condensation of 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole (1) with ethylacetoacetate, ethyl cyanoacetate, diethyl malonate and acetylacetone afforded pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives (2—8a). Other compounds (8b—h) of this ring system were obtained by treatment of 1 with arylidenemalononitrile and ethylarylidenecyanoacetate. And the reaction of compound (1) with activated acetylenes yeilded pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives (11a—b).

Formylation of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 1a using Vilsmeier–Haack conditions yields 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐6‐ylcarbaldehyde 3a . 5,7‐Diaryl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines 1b , 1c in this reaction apart from formylation undergo recyclization into 5‐aryl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐6‐ylmethane derivatives 4b , 4c , 5b , 5c , and 6 . The structure of the synthesized compounds was determined on the basis of NMR, IR, and MS spectroscopic data and confirmed by the X‐ray analysis of the 6‐(ethoxy‐phenyl‐methyl)‐5‐phenyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 6 , 5‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 11 , and 7‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine 12 .
