Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity.

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.

Treatment of 19 successively with chlorotrimethylsilane, N-chlorosuccinimide and water gave 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 17 ). Methyl tetrahydro-3-oxo-2-thiophenecarboxylate ( 21 ) was converted to 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 25 ) by an analogous route.

Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. I. A new method for the preparation of esters and amides of thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids

A novel method for the preparation of esters and amides of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carb-oxylic acids was described. A typical example was the direct formation of ethyl 5-amino-2-methylthiothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-earboxylate(IIIa) from 4-chloro-2-methylthio-5-pyrimidine-carbonitrile (Ia) and ethyl mercaptoacetate in refluxing ethanol containing sodium carbonate. Displacement of the methylthio group in IIIa by various amines gave the corresponding amino derivatives. The reactions of IIIa and related compounds with acetylating agents such as acetic anhydride or chloroacetyl chloride gave various products. Treatment of 5-carbethoxy-4-chloro-2-phenylpyrimidine(IV) with methyl mercaptoacetate afforded the dechloro intermediate diester Va, which cyclized on reaction with sodium ethoxide to form methyl 5-hydroxy-2-phenylthieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (Vla). The synthesis was expanded to include the preparation of various new 2,4,5-trisubstituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid esters and amides (Charts I-V).

Refluxing the latter with acyl chlorides in AcOH or heating in formic acid gave hexahydropyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives and reaction with cyclohexanone gave a spiro-linked octahydropyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine.
