A simple and facile synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazole substituted pyrimidine derivatives

A series of novel indole and pyrimidine scaffolds bearing 1,2,3-triazoles have been designed and synthesized using click chemistry reaction conditions. Target compounds 9a-j were synthesized in the multi-step process. In the first step 5-substituted-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde 2a-b reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate 3 and guanidine hydrochloride 4 in presence of L-Proline in ethanol undergoes cyclisation to form 5a-b . Further, 5a-b condensed with various benzaldehydes to form Schiff's base 6a-f , which further proporgylated with propargyl bromide to form 7a-f . Finally, 7a-f was subjected to click-chemistry with various azides in the presence of CuSO₄.5H₂O + sodium ascorbate mixture in Dimethylformamide at room temperature to obtain 2 + 3 cycloaddition products 9a-j in high yield. All these synthetic methods are mostly green and inexpensive with excellent yields.     

Synthesis,characterization and antitumor activities of some novel thiazinones and thiosemicarbazones derivatives

Abstract

Two series of thiazinone and thiosemicarbazone derivatives (1-12) were synthesized using 2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones (ABNs) and 3–alkyl–2,6–diarylpiperidin–4–ones as the starting materials. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of FT–IR, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. From the spectroscopic data, we identified that the cyclization reaction of thioamide with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate selectively gives six membered methyl 2-(2-(2,4-disubstituted-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-oxo-4H-1,3-thiazine-6-carboxylates (1-6). In order to investigate the antitumor activities of the synthesized compounds, in vitro cytotoxicity studies were carried out using human prostate cancer cell lines. Tested compounds showed good/moderate activities against cancer cell lines and further investigation carried out by live/dead assay.

Design,syntheses and antitumor activities evaluation of 1,5-diaryl substituted pyrazole secnidazole ester derivatives

According to the drug hybridization principle, a series of novel 1,5-diaryl substituted pyrazole secnidazole ester derivatives ( 6aa – 6gc ) have been synthesized by the combinations of various 1,5-diarylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acids with secnidazole. The in vitro antitumor/cytotoxicities activities against tumor and normal cell lines, including NCI-H460 (lung tumor cell), MCG-803 (gastric tumor cell), Skov-3 (ovarian tumor cell), BEL-7404 (liver tumor cell) and HL-7702 (normal liver cell), have been evaluated using MTT assay. All compounds showed promising inhibitory activities against four tumor cell lines. The IC₅₀ of 6bc against the BEL-7404 cell was 2.03 μM, and those of 6fc against the NCI-H460, MCG-803 and Skov-3 were 1.34, 0.14, and 0.87 μM, respectively. All these values were much lower than those of the cisplatin. Furthermore, 6fc and 6bc were also verified to be considerably safe for normal human liver cell, since the lower IC₅₀ values than cisplatin. Based on these results, the cell cycle analysis, apoptosis ratio detection and mitochondrial membrane potential assay of 6fc and 6bc were further performed aiming to investigate their inhibition mechanism of BEL-7404 cells. It is revealed that they have effectively inhibited the cell growth by arresting the BEL-7404 cells at S phase and induced apoptosis through the mitochondria-mediated pathway.

Design,synthesis, and anticancer activity evaluation of novel aziridine-1,2,3-triazole hybrid derivatives

Some new 1-aryl-4-[(aziridine-1-yl)diaryl-methyl]-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives 7j–s were synthesized by the one-pot reaction of diaryl-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanol compounds 6j–s formed from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives. The new compounds 7j–s and 6j–s are investigated by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, MS, and IR. The anticancer activity of the synthesis target compounds was evaluated against human leukemia (HL-60) cells and human hepatoma G2 cells. Some of the compounds were highly efficient. The ¹H-NMR signals of the aziridine-ring cis-H/trans-H protons were found to be two group peaks at 1.800–1.884 and 1.183–1.327?ppm.     

Enaminones as building blocks for the synthesis of substituted pyrazoles with antitumor and antimicrobial activities

Novel N-arylpyrazole-containing enaminones 2a,b were synthesized as key intermediates. Reactions of 2a,b with active methylene compounds in acetic acid in the presence of ammonium acetate afforded substituted pyridine derivatives 5a-d. Enaminones 2a,b also reacted with aliphatic amines such as hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to give bipyrazoles 8a,b and pyrazolylisoxazoles 9a,b, respectively. On the other hand, treatment of 2a,b with a heterocyclic amine and its diazonium salt yielded the respective [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines 12a,b and pyrazolylcarbonyl[1,2,4]triazolo-[3,4-c][1,2,4]triazines 14a,b. Moreover, 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one (17) was prepared via reaction of enaminone 2a with aminothiouracil (15). Cyclocondensation of 17 with the appropriate hydrazonoyl chlorides 18a-c gave the corresponding pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-ones 21a-c. The cytotoxic effects of compounds 2b, 14a and 17 against human breast cell line (MCF-7) and liver carcinoma cell line (HEPG2) were screened and in both lines they showed inhibition effects comparable to those of 5-fluorouracil, used as a standard. The antimicrobial activity of some products chosen as representative examples was also evaluated.     

Design of novel substituted phthalocyanines; synthesis and fluorescence,DFT, photovoltaic properties

The 4-(2-[3,4-dimethoxyphenoxy] phenoxy) phthalonitrile was synthesized as the starting material of new syntheses. Zinc, copper, and cobalt phthalocyanines were achieved by reaction of starting compound with Zn(CH3COO)2, CuCl2, and CoCl2 metal salts. Basic spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance electronic absorption, mass and infrared spectrometry were used in the structural characterization of the compounds. Absorption, excitation, and emission measurements of the fluorescence zinc phthalocyanine compound were also investigated in THF. Then, structural, energy, and electronic properties for synthesized metallophthalocyanines were determined by quantum chemical calculations, including the DFT method. The bandgap of HOMO and LUMO was determined to be chemically active. Global reactivity (I, A, η, s, μ, χ, ω) and nonlinear properties were studied. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were drawn to identify potential reactive regions of metallophthalocyanine (M-Pc) compounds. Photovoltaic performances of phthalocyanine compounds for dye sensitive solar cells were investigated. The solar conversion efficiency of DSSC based on copper, zinc, and cobalt phthalocyanine compounds was 1.69%, 1.35%, and 1.54%, respectively. The compounds have good solubility and show nonlinear optical properties. Zinc phthalocyanine gave fluorescence emission.

DPPH assay was used to determine the antioxidant activity and heat hemolysis method for anti-inflammatory activity.     

Design, synthesis and antitumor activity of novel artemisinin derivatives using hybrid approach

In an attempt to develop potent and selective anti-tumor agents, two novel series of artemisinin-chalcone hybrids were designed, synthesized and screened for their antitumor activities against HT-29, A549, MDA-MB-231, HeLa and H460 cell lines in vitro. Nearly all of the tested compounds showed significantly increased anti-tumor activity compared with the corresponding dihydroartemisinin (DHA). Most of the title compounds displayed good selectivity toward HT-29 and HeLa cell lines with IC?? values ranging from 0.09 to 0.85 μM. Among them, the most promising compound 9c (IC??) range of 0.09-0.93 μM) was 10.5- to 70-times more active than DHA (IC?? range of 5.6-15.6 μM) respectively.     

Design, synthesis, and biological activities of some branched carbasugars: construction of a substituted 6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]nonane skeleton

Transformation of cyclohexa-2,4-diene-1,2-diylbis(methylene) diacetate to various carbasugars is described. Photooxygenation of a cyclohexadiene derivative gave a bicyclicendoperoxide, which was reduced with thiourea to [2-[(acetyloxy)methyl]cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-yl]methyl acetate. Epoxidation of the remaining double bond followed by epoxide ring-opening and hydrolysis of the acetate groups gave one of the target hexols. The bicyclic endoperoxide was rearranged to a diepoxide with CoTPP. The diepoxide was reacted with sulfamic acid in acetic anhydride, resulting in the formation of a new branched carbasugar as well as in the formation of cyclitols with a 6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]nonane skeleton. The mechanism of the formation of the products is discussed. The inhibition activity of six cyclitol derivatives was tested against α-glycosidase.     

1,2,3-benzotriazines. I. The synthesis of some benzimidazo [1,2-c][1,2,3]-benzotriazines and naphth[1′,2,(2′,1′):4,5]imidazo[1,2-c][1,2,3]benzotriazine

A number of substituted benzimidazo[1, 2-c][1,2,3]benzotriazines were prepared by the diazotization of the appropriate 2-(o-aminophenyl)benzimidazoles. Diazotization of 2-(o-aminophenyl)naphth[1,2-d]imidazole yielded a new heterocyclic ring system. Various methods of preparation of 2 - (o-aminophenyl)benzimidazoles were investigated. The condensation of o-phenylenediamines with anthranilic acids, in the presence of polyphosphoric acid, provided a convenient route to 2-(o-aminophenyl)benzimidazoles but in several cases the products were contaminated with considerable amounts of 6-(o-aminophenyl)benzimidazo[1,2 -c]quinazolines. 2 - (o-Aminophenyl)benzimidazoles were also obtained by the catalytic hydrogenation of 2-(o-nitrophenyl)benzimidazoles which resulted from the condensation of an o-phenylenediamine with an o-nitrobenzaldehyde in ethanol, nitrobenzene or acetic acid. When the condensation was carried out in nitrobenzene, small amounts of 2-(o-aminophenyl)benzimidazoles were also formed. The Weidenhagen synthesis, which involves the reaction of an aromatic diamine with an aldehyde in the presence of copper acetate and subsequent decomposition of the cuprous salt of the benzimidazole, yielded 2-(o-aminophenyl)benzimidazoles instead of the expected 2-(o-nitrophenyl)benzimidazoles when the decomposition was carried out in ethanol. When the cuprous salt was treated with hydrogen sulfide in dilute hydrochloric acid, a mixture of amino- and nitrobenzimidazoles resulted. The ultraviolet and infrared spectra of all the compounds prepared were examined.

The structures of all the cycloadducts were elucidated by IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, 2D), MASS (low and high resolution) spectra, X-ray diffraction data, and physical characteristics (melting points and R_f values).     

Chartarolides A-C,novel meroterpenoids with antitumor activities

Three phenylspirodrimane-based meroterpenoids with novel scaffolds, namely chartarolides A-C (1–3), were isolated from a sponge (Niphates recondite) associated fungus Stachybotrys chartarum WGC-25C-6. Their structures were determined on the basis of comprehensive analyses of the spectroscopic data (IR, 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS), including the TDDFT-ECD calculation for the assignments of absolute configurations. The biogenetic generation of 1–3 through the conjunction of phenylspirodrimane and mollicellin-type analogues as the precursors was postulated. Chartarolides A-C exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against a panel of human tumor cell lines, and showed strong inhibitory activities against the human tumor related protein kinases of FGFR3, IGF1R, PDGFRb, and TrKB.     

Design,synthesis and antifungal activities in vitro of novel tetralin compounds

Novel chiral tetralin compounds were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities in vitro were tested. The results showed that all of target compounds had potent antifungal activities, and were stronger than that of control compounds tetrahydroisoquinolines. The binding model of lead molecules in the active site of CYP51 of Candida albicans showed that lead compound specifically interacted with the amino acids residues in the active site, without binding with the heme of CYP51, which was different from azole antifungal drugs. The present study might afford a novel lead molecule to develop non-azole CYP51 inhihitars of fungi.
