Synthesis and evaluation of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives as factor Xa inhibitors IV. A series of new derivatives containing a spiro[5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrazine-2(3H),4'-piperidin]-5-one skeleton

In the course of development of factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor in an investigation involving the synthesis of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives, we found new compounds containing a unique spiro skeleton. Among such compounds, (-)-7-[(6-chloro-2-naphthalenyl)sulfonyl]tetrahydro-8a-(methoxymethyl)-1'-(4-pyridinyl)-spiro[5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrazine-2(3H),4'-piperidin]-5-one (28, M55529) had activity more favorable than those of previously reported compounds. The inhibitory activity of M55529 for FXa is IC(50)=2 nM, with high selectivity for FXa over thrombin and trypsin.     

Synthesis and evaluation of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives as factor Xa inhibitor

Intravascular clot formation is an important factor in a number of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the prevention of blood coagulation has become a major target for new therapeutic agents. One attractive approach is the inhibition of factor Xa (FXa), which is a key enzyme in coagulation cascade responsible for the generation of thrombin by limited proteolysis of its zymogen, prothrombin. We have investigated 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives, containing a 4-(piperidino)pyridine group in place of guanidino and/or amidino groups, and discovered compound M55113 (30a: 4-[(6-Chloro-2-naphthalenyl)sulfonyl]-1-[[1-(4-pyridinyl)-4-piperidinyl]methyl]piperazinone), as a potent inhibitor of FXa (IC50=0.06 microM) with high selectivity for FXa over trypsin and thrombin.     

Research on imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives XII. 3-Acyl-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles

Stable 3-acetyl derivatives of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole were synthesized by the action of acetic anhydride on 2,9-disubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole. The former were also obtained by cyclization of 1-alkyl (aralkyl) -3-acylmethyl-2-iminobenzimidazoline hydrobromides in acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate. 3-Benzoyl-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles, which are unstable in acidic media, were synthesized by the action of benzoyl chloride in the presence of pyridine or excess starting imidazo [1,2-a] benzimidazole.See [1] for communication XI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 121– 125, January, 1976.     

Synthesis and derivatisation of a novel spiro[1-benzofuran-2,4'-piperidin]-3-one scaffold

The synthesis of a novel spiro[1-benzofuran-2,4'-piperidin]-3-one scaffold has been achieved in five steps with an overall yield of 47%. The versatility of the spiropiperidine scaffold in the context of library synthesis is exemplified by selective and sequential derivatisation of the amino and aryl bromide functional groups, including the development of multi-step telescope reaction matrices.     

Synthesis and evaluation of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives as factor Xa inhibitors(1-6) VI. A series of new derivatives containing N,S- and N,SO2-spiro acetal scaffolds

In the course of development of factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors, we have found unique compounds containing an N,O- and an N,N-spiro acetal structure. It appeared that the difference in overall conformation due to the N,X-spiro acetal structure might be important for FXa inhibitory activity. Therefore, other N,X-spiro acetal structures, an N,S- and an N,SO2-spiro acetal, were developed as analogues of the N,X-spiro acetal structure. Compound 7b (N,S-spiro acetal structure) was found to have the strongest activity in these series of N,X-spiro acetal compounds, which had ever been synthesized.(4,5)).     

Studies of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives. 21. Synthesis of haloketones in the imidazo[1,2-a] benzimidazole series

Methods for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole haloketone derivatives have been investigated. It has been found that -bromoketone derivatives of this heterocycle can be prepared either by bromination of 3-acylimidazo[1,2-a]benz-imidazoles with bromine in glacial acetic acid or by acylation of 3-unsubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with haloanhydride derivatives of -bromoalkanoic acids. Treatment of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with 3-chloropropionyl chloride results in the formation of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazolyl-3-propionyl chloride and bis(imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazolyl)propan-3-one derivatives as side products. Reaction of 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with 3-bromopropionic acid in polyphosphoric acid gives benzocyclohepten[5,6:4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives.For Communication 20, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 339–345, March, 1986.     

Synthesis and evaluation of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives as factor Xa inhibitors III. Effect of ring opening of piperazinone moiety on inhibition

Compounds containing an ethylenediamine structure in place of the piperazine ring of M55113 (1) and M55551 (2) were synthesized to investigate the effects of a piperazine moiety and evaluated for activity as factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors. Most such compounds, however, exhibited lower activity (1/10-1/100) than that of M55113 and M55551 as FXa inhibitors.     

Synthesis and insecticidal evaluation of tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-5(1H)-one derivatives

A series of novel tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-5(1H)-one derivatives containing a electronegative pharmacophore(=CNO₂) were synthesized via practical aza-ene reaction and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹⁹F NMR and HRMS. Preliminary bioassays showed that some of the target compounds exhibited good insecticidal activity against brown planthopper(Nilaparvata lugens) and cowpea aphids(Aphis craccivora) at 500 mg L^-1. Among them, compound 11h was active against brown planthopper at 100 mg L^-1. The insecticidal activities varied significantly depending on the types and patterns of the substituents, which provided guidance for further investigation on structure modifications.

Synthesis and evaluation of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives as a factor Xa inhibitor II. Substituent effect on biological activities

Intravascular clot formation is an important event in a number of cardiovascular diseases. The prevention of blood coagulation has become a major target for new therapeutic agents. Factor Xa (FXa) is a trypsin-like serine protease that plays a key role in the blood coagulation cascade and represents an attractive target for anticoagulant drug development. We have investigated substituents in the central part of a lead compound (3: M55113), and discovered that compound M55551 (34: (R)-4-[(6-Chloro-2-naphthalenyl)sulfonyl]-6-oxo-1-[[1-(4-pyridinyl)-4-piperidinyl]methyl]-2-piperazinecarboxylic acid) is a potent inhibitor of FXa (IC(50)=0.006 microM), with high selectivity for FXa over trypsin and thrombin. The activity of this compound is ten times more powerful than the lead compound.     

Mass spectral studies on mesoionic imidazo [1,2-a] pyrid-2 and -3-one derivatives

The mass spectral fragmentation patterns for 1-substituted derivatives of anhydro (3-chloroacetyl-2-hydroxyimidazo[1,2-a]pyridinium hydroxide) (Ia to Ie) and 2-acyl substituted derivatives of anhydro(1-benzyl-3-hydroxyimidazo[1,2-a]pyridinium hydroxide) (IIa and IIb) are reported. In all cases the mass spectra may be interpreted on the basis of initial cleavage of the ‘carbonyl-heteroatom’ bond of the mesoionic system, followed by fragmentation.     

Fluorescent property of 3-hydroxymethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and pyrimidine derivatives

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and pyrimidines are important organic fluorophores which have been investigated as biomarkers and photochemical sensors. The effect on the luminescent property by substituents in the heterocycle and phenyl rings, have been studied as well. In this investigation, series of 3-hydroxymethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and pyrimidines were synthesized and evaluated in relation to fluorescence emission, based upon the hypothesis that the hydroxymethyl group may act as an enhancer of fluorescence intensity. RESULTS: Compounds of both series emitted light in organic solvents dilutions as well as in acidic and alkaline media. Quantitative fluorescence spectroscopy determined that both fused heterocycles fluoresced more intensely than the parent unsubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]azine fluorophore. In particular, 3-hydroxymethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines fluoresced more intensely than 3-hydroxymethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, the latter emitting blue light at longer wavelengths, whereas the former emitted purple light. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that in most cases the hydroxymethyl moiety did act as an enhancer of the fluorescence intensity, however, a comparison made with the fluorescence emitted by 2-aryl imidazo[1,2-a]azines revealed that in some cases the hydroxymethyl substituent decreased the fluorescence intensity.     

Synthesis and insecticidal bioactivities of 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-5(1H)-one derivatives

Synthesis of perhydro-2(1H)-quinoxalinones and perhydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-one derivatives

The novel trans-bicyclic-perhydro-2(1H)-quinoxalinones 4, 6 and 7 and the tricyclic-perhydropyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxalin-4(5H)-one derivatives 8 and 9 are prepared via a ring opening and spontaneous ring closing reaction of the aziridines 2 and 3 with the α-amino acids glycine, L-alanine, L-proline and L-phenylalanine. This methodology was used to prepare 5 and 10 which are novel rigid analogues of the kappa opioid compound 1. Treatment of aziridine 3 with methyl carbamate gave the cyclic urea 11.     

Synthesis of indeno-fused derivatives of quinolizinium salts, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, pyrido[1,2-a]indole, and 4h-quinolizin-4-one via benzannulated enyne-allenes

The benzannulated enediynyl propargylic alcohol 8 was prepared from 1-bromo-2-iodobenzene by two consecutive Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The subsequent transformation to mesylate 9 followed by treatment with 4-substituted pyridines 10 then furnished the benzannulated enediynes 11. On exposure of 11 to triethylamine, the indeno-fused quinolizinium salts 15 were produced in quantitative yield. Presumably the reaction proceeded through a 1,3-prototropic rearrangement to form the benzannulated enyne-allenes 12, which then underwent either a concerted Diels-Alder reaction or a two-step process involving a Schmittel cyclization reaction to form biradical 13 followed by an intramolecular radical-radical coupling to afford 14. A subsequent prototropic rearrangement then produced 15. Similarly, 21a and 21b were produced from 19a and 19b, respectively. The use of the Sonogashira reaction for cross-coupling between 1-iodo-2-(phenylethynyl)benzene (7) and 1-(2-propynyl)-1H-imidazole (25) followed by treatment of the resulting adduct with potassium tert-butoxide gave the indeno-fused imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 24 in 98% yield. Similarly, the indeno-fused pyrido[1,2-a]indole 32 and 4H-quinolizin-4-one 35 were obtained by starting from 7 for cross-coupling with 1-(2-propynyl)-1H-indole (30) and 1-(2-propynyl)-2(1H)-pyridinone (33), respectively, followed by treatment with potassium tert-butoxide.

A number of imidazo[1,2-a]imidazole derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of 1-methyl-2-aminoimidazole with-bromoketones. The intermediate 1-methyl-3-acylmethyl-2-iminoimidazolines were isolated, and the conditions for their cyclization to imidazo-[l,2-a]imidazole derivatives were studied.See [1] for communication LXII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1692–1694, December, 1971
