Design and one-pot synthesis of 2-thiazolylhydrazone derivatives as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors

Two series of novel 2-thiazolylhydrazone derivatives were designed and synthesized via one-pot reaction of benzaldehyde derivatives, \(\alpha \)-haloketones and thiosemicarbazide. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by \(^{1}\hbox {H}\) NMR and \(^{13}\hbox {C}\) NMR, and compound 1g was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. All of the target compounds were evaluated for their NA inhibitory activity against influenza viral neuraminidase (H1N1) in vitro, and the results showed that many compounds exhibited moderate to strong inhibitory activities against influenza viral neuraminidase (H1N1). Among them, compounds 1p, 1q and 2c showed the most potent inhibitory activities with \(\hbox {IC}_{50}\) values ranging from 10.50 to \(13.75\, \upmu \hbox {g}/\hbox {mL}\). Our structure–activity relationship analysis indicated that 2-thiazolylhydrazone is an effective scaffold for NA inhibitors and that introducing an ethoxycarbonyl group to the 5-position of thiazole ring could enhance inhibitory potency. Molecular docking was performed on the most active compounds 1p and 2c to provide more insight into their mechanism of interaction.

This procedure, which generates azides followed by azide in situ cycloaddition with diketone, has become an attractive option. In this protocol, [bmim]N(3) is used instead of the highly toxic reagent NaN(3).

The use of enzymes in synthetic applications has increased dramatically in the recent years and the field of polymer science is part of this trend. Synthesis of a variety of polymers using lipase catalyzed (Candida antarctica) polymerization reactions has led to a variety of new materials with interesting properties in our laboratories. This paper describes the synthesis of multi-component polyesters and mixed polymers having polyester and polyamide linkages under solvent-less conditions using Candida antarctica lipase B.

We have also studied the effect of different functional groups during terpolymerization reaction of dimethyl 5-hydroxyisophthalate with poly(ethylene glycol) by adding a third component having different functionalities (1,6-hexanediol, 1,6-hexanediamine or 1,6-hexanedithiol) and compared the effect of hydroxyl, amine and thiol groups on the polymerization reactions.
