Syntheses of aromatic substituted hydrazino-thiazole derivatives to clarify structural characterization and antioxidant activity between 3-arylsydnonyl and aryl substituted hydrazino-thiazoles

This work clarifies the structural characterization and antioxidant activity between aromatic and 3-arylsydnonyl substituted hydrazino-thiazoles by further synthesizing a series of aromatic ring-substituted hydrazino-thiazole derivatives 8a-h and 9a-h. Hydrazino-thiazole derivatives 8a-h and 9a-h were obtained by reacting aromatic or heterocyclic aromatic aldehyde thiosemicarbazones 7a-h with cyclization reagents ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate (2a) and 2-bromoacetophenone (2b), respectively. The ORTEP drawings of compounds 8g, 8h and 9f provide strong evidence of the structure of aromatic thiazole derivatives 8a-h and 9a-h. Undoubtedly, the structure of compounds 3e-h and 4e-h synthesized by the reaction of 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone thiosemicarbazones 1e-h with cyclization reagents 2a and 2b in the previous work should have the thiazole moiety, and not the thiazoline moiety. Both the new thiazole derivatives 8a-h and 9a-h and the 3-arylsydnonyl-substituted derivatives 3e-h and 4e-h were investigated to determine their antioxidant activity by two tests that have been highly documented-the direct scavenging effect on a stable free 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and the inhibition of the 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical. Results of this study demonstrate that not only the thiazole ring and the aryl ring has the contribution to the antioxidant activities, the sydnone ring of 3-arylsydnonyl moiety also has its considerable contribution.     

Synthesis and evaluation of novel 4H-pyrazole and thiophene derivatives derived from chalcone as potential anti-proliferative agents,Pim-1 kinase inhibitors,and PAINS

The chalcone derivatives 3a-d reacted with either malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate in ethanol in the presence of catalytic amount of ammonium acetate in an oil bath at 120°C to give the Knowevenagel condensation products 5a-h . The latter compounds reacted with hydrazine hydrate and afforded the 4H-pyrazole derivatives 7a-h , respectively. The reaction of compounds 7a-h with ethyl cyanoacetate in dimethylformamide under refluxing condition afforded the cyanoacetamido derivatives 8a-h , respectively. When compounds 8a-h reacted with elemental sulfur and either of malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate in ethanol containing triethylamine, the thiophene derivatives 9a-h and 10a-h , respectively, were obtained. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was established by the analytical and spectral data. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated against the six cancer cell lines: A549, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC-7721 and H460. Compounds 3c , 5h , 7g , 7h , 8f , 9e , 9g , and 10g were selected to examine their Pim-1 kinase inhibition activity as these compounds showed high inhibition toward the c-Met kinase and the tested cancer cell lines. Furthermore, compounds 3b , 3c , 5g , 5h , 7f , 7g , 7h , 8e , 8f , 8g , 8h , 9e , 9f , 9g , 9h , 10g and 10h were selected to be tested for pan-assay interference compounds analysis (PAINS). Almost all the tested compounds showed zero PAINS alert and can be used as drug compounds in the future.     

The synthesis of 5-substituted 3-benzoylamino-6-(2-substituted amino-1-ethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones and their transformations into 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives

A new approach to the 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine system is described. 5,6-Disubstituted 3-benzoylamino-2H-pyran-2-ones 3a,b , prepared from the corresponding 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 1a,b and methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate ( 2 ), were converted into 3-benzoylamino-6-(2-dimethylamino-1-ethenyl)-5-ethoxycarbonyl-2H-pyran-2-one ( 4a ) and 5-acetyl derivative 4b . The exchange of the dimethylamino group in 4a,b with aromatic amines 5a-f,m , héteroaromatic amines 5g-i , and benzylamines 5j-l produced 5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-benzoylamino-6-(2-arylamino- or heteroarylamino-or benzylamino-1-ethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones 6a-l , and its 5-acetyl analog 6m . The compounds 6 were cyclized in basic media into 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives 7a-h . Analogously react also α-amino acid derivatives 8a-c and 11 as nitrogen nucleophiles producing 9a-c, 10 and 12 .

Novel methods for the facile construction of 3,3-disubstituted and 3, 3-spiro 2H,4H-benzo[e][1,2]thiazine-1,1-diones 8a-h are described. o-Methyl lithiation of N-Boc-o-toluenesulfonamide 6 followed by reaction with a variety of ketones gave the corresponding carbinol sulfonamides 7a-g, which underwent cyclization under acidic (methanesulfonic acid) or neutral (NaI/TMSCl/MeCN) conditions to afford the sultams 8a-h in high yields. The chiral spiro sultams 8g, h were subjected to FClO(3) fluorination to give the N-fluorosultams 11a,b, respectively, which were tested for electrophilic asymmetric fluorination of aryl ketone enolates. As a result, the N-fluorosultam 11a exhibited modest asymmetric inducing abilities with the highest ee, reaching 70% for enantioselective fluorination of the lithium enolate of 2-methyl-1-tetralone.

2-Aminobenzothiazole-6-carboxylic acid (1), on condensation with chloroacetyl chloride yielded 2-(2-chloroacetylamino)benzothiazole-6-carboxylic acid (2), which on amination with hydrazine hydrate yielded in turn 2-(2-hydrazinoacetylamino)benzo-thiazole-6-carboxylic acid (3). Compound 3, on condensation with various aromatic aldehydes afforded a series of 2-{2-[N'-(arylidene)hydrazino]acetylamino}benzothiazole-6-carboxylic acids 4a-h, which upon dehydrative annulation in the presence of chloroacetyl chloride and triethylamine yielded 2-{2-[3-chloro-2-(aryl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-ylamino]-acetylamino}benzothiazole-6-carboxylic acids 5a-h. The synthesized compounds 4a-h and 5a-h were screened for their antibacterial activity against four microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive), Bacillus subtilis (Gram positive), Psuedomonas aeruginosa (Gram negative) and Escherichia coli (Gram negative). They were found to exhibit good to moderate antibacterial activity. The antifungal activity of these compounds were also tested against three different fungal species. None of them were active against the species tested.

The obtained compounds were reacted with p-toluinesulfonyl chloride 2 to give the corresponding sulfonamides 3a-h . Compound 1b was allowed to react with different aromatic aldehydes or cyclic ketone under alkaline conditions to afford the expected imino compounds 4a-d and 6a-c , respectively.

The N-acylbenzotriazole intermediates 2a-g, 6a-d, and 9a-c have been used for high-yielding synthesis of both aliphatic (3a-l) and aromatic (7a-h, 10a-f) hydroxy carboxamides. High yields of aromatic hydroxy esters 12a-h and 13a-i were obtained using either neat alcohols in neutral microwave conditions or nucleophilic alkoxides and the intermediate N-(arylacyl)benzotriazoles. Moderate yields were obtained in the case of aliphatic hydroxy esters 11a,b and thiolesters 11e-g from the intermediates 2a-c.

Compound 3 reacts with phenyl isothiocyanate in the presence of potassium hydroxide at room temperature followed by addition of some different halo‐carbonyl compounds to afford bis‐poly‐functionalized thiazole derivatives 13a , 13b , 13c . The bis‐enamine derivative 15 reacts also with hydrazine hydrate, guanidine, and hydroxylamine to give bis‐pyrazole 17 , pyrimidine 19 , and isoxazole 21 derivatives, respectively. Some of the newly synthesized compounds show moderate to high antimicrobial activity.     

An efficient synthesis and reactions of novel indolylpyridazinone derivatives with expected biological activity

Reaction of 4-anthracen-9-yl-4-oxo-but-2-enoic acid (1) with indole gave the corresponding butanoic acid 2. Cyclocondensation of 2 with hydrazine hydrate, phenyl hydrazine, semicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide gave the pyridazinone derivatives 3a-d. Reaction of 3a with POCl(3) for 30 min gave the chloropyridazine derivative 4a, which was used to prepare the corresponding carbohydrate hydrazone derivatives 5a-d. Reaction of chloropyridazine 4a with some aliphatic or aromatic amines and anthranilic acid gave 6a-f and 7, respectively. When the reaction of the pyridazinone derivative 3a with POCl(3) was carried out for 3 hr an unexpected product 4b was obtained. The structure of 4b was confirmed by its reaction with hydrazine hydrate to give hydrazopyridazine derivative 9, which reacted in turn with acetyl acetone to afford 10. Reaction of 4b with methylamine gave 11, which reacted with methyl iodide to give the trimethylammonium iodide derivative 12. The pyridazinone 3a also reacted with benzene- or 4-toluenesulphonyl chloride to give 13a-b and with aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes to give 14a-g. All proposed structures were supported by IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, and MS spectroscopic data. Some of the new products showed antibacterial activity.     

Preparation of ferulic acid derivatives and evaluation of their xanthine oxidase inhibition activity

Several ferulic acid ethyl esters (3a-h) were synthesized under the Knoevengel reaction condition and they were further reduced to afford the respective allylic alcohol derivatives (4a-g). Some of them were evaluated for the xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity. Among them, 3h exhibited a significant inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.35 x 10(-5) M, while the IC50 value of allopurinol used as the positive control was 1.49 x 10(-5) M. The study suggested that the higher acidity of the phenolic OH group in the ferulic acid derivatives might result in improved XO inhibitory activity.

Hydroxyamination of (3e-g) with iydroxylamine gave aryl-4(6-p-phenoxyphenyl-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo)pyridazinyl oxime (6a-c). Silylation of oximes (6b & 6c) gave (7a & 7b) as acyclic compound instead of the expected seven - membered - ring compound (8).     

Highly selective addition of chiral,sulfonimidoyl substituted bis(allyl)titanium complexes to N-sulfonyl alpha-imino esters: asymmetric synthesis of gamma,delta-unsaturated alpha-amino acids bearing a chiral,electron-withdrawing nucleofuge at the delta-position

Selective addition of the chiral, sulfonimidoyl substituted bis(allyl)titanium complexes 5a-d, which are configurationally labile in regard to the Calpha-atoms, to N-toluenesulfonyl (Ts)-, N-2-trimethylsilylethanesulfonyl (SES)-, and N-tert-butylsulfonyl (Bus) alpha-imino ester (9a-c) in the presence of Ti(OiPr)(4) and ClTi(OiPr)(3) afforded with high regio- and diastereoselectivities in good yields the (syn, E)-configured beta-alkyl-gamma,delta-unsaturated alpha-amino acid derivatives 2a-g, which carry a chiral, electron-withdrawing nucleofuge at the delta-position and a cyclohexyl, an isopropyl, a phenyl, and a methyl group at the beta-position. Addition of the cyclic bis(allyl)titanium complex 14 to N-Bus alpha-imino ester 9c afforded with similar high regio- and diastereoselectivities the (E)- and (Z)-configured amino acid derivatives (E)-8 and (Z)-8. Reaction of complexes 5a-d with alpha-imino esters 9a-c in the presence of Ti(OiPr)(4) occurs stepwise to give first the mono(allyl)titanium complexes containing 2a-g as ligands, which react in the presence of ClTi(OiPr)(3) with a second molecule of 9a-c with formation of two molecules of 2a-g. Formation of (S,R,E)-configured homoallylic amines 2a-g entails Si,Re,E processes of alpha-imino esters 9a-c with the (R,R)-configured bis(allyl)titanium complexes (R,R)-5a-d and (R)-configured mono(allyl)titanium complexes (R)-17a-d, both of which are most likely in rapid equilibrium with their (S,S)-diastereomers and (S)-diastereomers, respectively. Interestingly, in the reaction of 5a-d with aldehydes, the (S,S)-configured complexes (S,S)-5a-d are the ones which react faster. Reaction of the N-titanated amino acid derivatives Ti-2a and Ti-2b with N-Ts alpha-imino ester 9a led to the highly diastereoselective formation of imidazolidinones 15a and 15b, respectively. Cleavage of the sulfonamide group of the N-Bus amino acid derivative 2d with CF(3)SO(3)H gave quantitatively the sulfonimidoyl functionalized amino acid H-2d. A Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the amino acid derivative 2e with ZnPh(2) led to a substitution of the sulfonimidoyl group by a phenyl group and furnished the enantiomerically pure protected alpha-amino acid Bus-1. Two new N-sulfonyl alpha-imino esters, the SES and the Bus alpha-imino esters 9b and 9c, respectively, have been synthesized from the corresponding sulfonamides by the Kresze method in medium to good yields. The N-SES alpha-imino ester 9b and the N-Bus alpha-imino ester 9c should find many synthetic applications, in particular, in cases where the N-Ts alpha-imino ester 9a had been used before.     

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds from 2-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-formylhydrazine

2-Phenyl-1, 2, 3-triazole-4-formylhydrazine (2) was prepared by hydrazinolysis of the corresponding ester 1. Reaction of 2 with CS₂/KOH gave the oxadiazole derivatives (3) which via Mannich reaction with different dialkyl amines furnished 3-N, N-dialkyl derivatives (4a–c). Also, condensation of 2 with appropriate aromatic acid in POCI₃ yielded oxadiazole derivatives (5a–c), or with aldehydes and ketones afforded hydrazones (6a–c). Cyclization of (6a–c) with acetic anhydride gave the desired dihydroxadiazole derivatives (7a–c). On the other hand, reaction of dithiocarbazate (8) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding triazole derivative (9) which on treatment with carboxylic acids in refluxing POCI₃ yielded s-triazole [3, 4–b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole derivatives (10a–b). The structures of all the above compounds were confirmed by means of IR, ¹H NMR, MS and elemental analysis.     

An efficient route for synthesis of 5,6‐diphenylimidazo‐[2,1‐b]thiazoles as antibacterial agents

The reaction of 4,5‐diphenylimidazol‐2‐thione ( 1 ) with aromatic ketones 2a‐i using the acidified acetic acid method afforded the 4,5‐diphenyl(2‐imidazolylthio)acetophenones 3a‐h in good yields. While, the cyclized product 4i was obtained directly upon reaction of 1 with α‐acetyl naphthalene. Compounds 3a‐h were cyclized directly to the corresponding 3‐aryl‐5,6‐diphenylimidazo[2,1‐b]thiazoles (4a‐c) and ( 4e‐h ). In the same manner the reaction of 1 with aliphatic and/or alicyclic ketones gave the 3‐(4,5‐diphenyl‐2‐imidazolylthio)acetone derivatives 5a‐d , 2‐(4,5‐diphenylimidazolylthio)cycloalkanones 8a,d and the tricyclic compounds 9b‐c respectively. The cyclized compounds 6a‐d and 9a,d were obtained by cyclization of 5a‐d and 8a,b respectively. Oxidation of 1 gives the corresponding bis(4,5‐diphenyl‐2‐imidazolyl)‐disulfide ( 10 ) in 90% yield. Some of the synthesized compounds were tested for antifungal and antibacterial activity.

In the present investigation, the in vitro inhibition capacity of compounds ( 4a , 4c , 5b , 5c , 6b - d , 8a - f , and 11a ) was screened in three human cancer cell lines HCT-116, MCF-7, and HepG2. The anticancer activity results revealed that 8b and 8e had more potent cytotoxic inhibition activity against HCT-116 cell line; however, all the tested compounds had obviously less cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cell line, while 5b , 5c , and 6d were potent against HepG2 cell line compared with that of doxorubicin.

Starting from 6-aryl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (4a-d), a series of mono- and dialkyl derivatives 5a-j and 6a, b was synthesized. Hydrazinolysis of 4a, b, d and 5d afforded the hydrazino derivatives 7a-c which were cyclised to give the triazolopyrimidinones 8a-c and the pyrimidotriazinones 9a-c through the reaction with formic acid and chloroacetyl chloride, respectively. Most of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro antitumor activity.
