Research on heterocyclic compounds. XXI. Synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives

The reaction of some 2-aminobenzothiazoles and 2-aminothiazoles with ethyl 3-bromo-4-oxopentanoate was investigated with the aim to obtain the corresponding imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole and imidazo[2,1-b]-thiazole derivatives, respectively. In some cases, two unexpected side products were obtained together with the required compound and their structures were elucidated: e.g., 2-aminobenzothiazole reacted with ethyl 3-bromo-4-oxopentanoate to give ethyl 2-methylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole-3-acetate together with ethyl imi-dazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole-2-propionate and ethyl 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)amino-4-oxopentanoate.     

99mTc-radiolabeled imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives as potential radiotracers for glioblastoma

This study presents [^99mTc]BPTG-1 and [^99mTc]BPTG-2 for glioblastoma imaging. In vitro cellular uptakes of these radiotracers were examined in SKOV-3, MCF-7, U87-MG, HT-29, and A549 cell lines. U87-MG cell line displayed the highest radiotracers uptakes. Biodistribution study in U87-MG tumor bearing mice revealed higher uptake of radiotracers in tumor than muscle and brain. Liver, intestine, and kidneys displayed the highest radioactivity uptakes. The main route of radiotracers elimination was hepatobiliary. Due to the brain uptake of these radiotracers, they are promising radiotracers for future studies in the diagnosis of glioblastoma.

     

Photo-Switchable Aggregation-Induced Emission of Bisthienylethene-Dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole Triad

A bisthienylethene-dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole (BTE-2PBT) triad has been designed and synthesized based on our recent discovery of PBTs as atypical propeller-shaped novel AIEgens. The triad not only maintains the photochromic properties of BTE moiety in solution, film, and solid state but also exhibits remarkable AIE properties. Moreover, the fluorescence of BTE-2PBT PMMA film could be modulated with high contrast by alternate UV and visible light irradiation. Photoerasing, rewriting, and non-destructive readout of fluorescent images on BTE-2PBT PMMA film well demonstrate its potential application as optical memory media.     

Synthesis of 2-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives as modulators of multidrug resistance for tumor cells

We have investigated 3-substituted-2-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives and herein we have discussed their pharmaceutical activities. We found that some 2-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]-benzothiazoles could overcome multidrug resistance for tumor cells. Among them, 2-phenyl-3-(N-methyl-3-piperidyl)carbonylammomiinomemyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydVoimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole [N276-12] demonstrated the most potent activity for overcoming multidrug resistance.     

New derivatives of imidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazole

1-Cyano-3-phenylimidazo[5, 1-b]benzothiazole (II) has been obtained from 1-formyl -3-phenylimidazo[5, 1-b]benzothiazole (I) and from 1-brono-3-phenylimidazo[5, 1-b]benzothiazole (III) and has been converted into the corresponding amide (IV) and thioamide (V). New 1-alkyl-3-phenylimidazo[5, 1-b]benzothiazoles (VI) have been synthesized.     

Pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives by asymmetric 1,3-dipolar reactions of thiazolium azomethine ylides to activated vinyl sulfoxides

1,3-Dipolar reactions of thiazolium azomethine ylides to enantiopure cyclic and acyclic vinyl sulfoxides provide an efficient access to polyfunctionalized pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazoles in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. Regioselectivity can be inverted by modifying the position of the sulfinyl group at the double bond of the sulfinylfuranones. The sulfoxide is the main controller of the endo selectivity of these processes as well as of the pi-facial selectivity in reactions of (Z)-3-p-tolylsulfinylacrylonitriles. In contrast, the pi-facial selectivity in reactions of 5-alkoxy-3-p-tolylsulfinyl furan-2(5H)-ones is mainly controlled by the configuration at C-5, affording the anti adducts with respect to the alkoxy group as the major or exclusive adducts.

Reactivity of sym-triazolo[3,4-b ]benzothiazole

The reactivity of sym-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole (I) has been studied. Compound I is stable under the conditions of acid hydrolysis; when it is heated with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate or with an aqueous solution of alkali, the triazole ring opens with the formation of 2-acetylamino- and 2-aminobenzothiazoles, respectively. Compound I has been brominated in position 3 and has been subjected to the Vilsmeier and Mannich reactions. The thiosemicarbazone and oxime of sym-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole-3-carbaldehyde have been obtained, and the oxime has been converted into the corresponding nitrile. The thioamide, ester, and hydrazide of sym-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole-3-carboxylic acid have also been obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 916–919, July, 1970.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial,Anticancer and Anti-Oxidant Activities of Novel 2,3-Dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-one and Pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole Derivatives via Microwave-Assisted Synthesis

In our attempt towards the synthesis and development of effective antimicrobial, anticancer and antioxidant agents, a novel series of 2,3-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one 7a–e and pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazoles 9a–e were synthesized. The synthesis of 2-(1,3-benzo thiazol-2-yl)-3-(aryl)prop-2-enenitrile (5a–e) as the key intermediate was accomplished by a microwave efficient method. Via a new variety oriented synthetic microwave pathway, these highly functionalized building blocks allowed access to numerous fused heteroaromatic such as 7-amino-6-(1,3-benzo thiazol-2-yl)-5-(aryl)-2-thioxo-2,3dihydropyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one 7a–e and 1-amino-2-(aryl)pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole-3-carbonitrile derivatives 9a–e in order to study their antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The present investigation offers effective and rapid new procedures for the synthesis of the newly polycondensed heterocyclic ring systems. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial, anticancer and antioxidant activity. Compounds 7a,d, and 9a,d showed higher antimicrobial activity than cefotaxime and fluconazole while the remaining compounds exhibited good to moderate activity against bacteria and fungi. An anticancer evaluation of the newly synthesized compounds against the three tumor cell lines (lung cell NCI-H460, liver cancer HepG2 and colon cancer HCT-116) exhibited that compounds 7a, d, and 9a,d have higher cytotoxicity against the three human cell lines compared to doxorubicin as a reference drug. These compounds also exhibited higher antioxidant activity and a great ability to protect DNA from damage induced by bleomycin.

The reaction included firstly the Cu-catalyzed three-component reaction of isoquinoline(quinoline), acetylenedicarboxylate and alkynylbenzene and then Cs₂CO₃-promoted intramolecular cyclization reaction of initially formed 1-alkenyl-2-alkynyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline(1,2-dihydroquinoline).
