Synthesis and anti-tetrabenazine activity of c-3 analogues of dimethyl-2-phenylmorpholines

A series of analogues of 2-phenylmorpholines with alkyl substituents at the C-3 position were synthesized for anti-tetrabenazine (anti-TBZ) testing in mice. The target compounds were prepared by reaction of (2-bromoalkyl) phenyl ketones 21a-h with the appropriate aminoalcohol 20a-b to form morpholinols 22a-h . Hydride reduction of the morpholinols gave aminodiols 23a-h which were cyclized to morpholines 6, 8, 10–12, 14–16, 18 and 19 by acid catalaysis. Compounds 7, 9, 13 and 17 were prepared by reductive formylation. The smaller straight chain substituents of 6, 8, 12 and 15 , and the beta branching of the iso-butyl group of 16 were well tolerated; anti-tetrabenazine ED_50′s were comparable to compounds 2–5 . The α-branched, N-methylated, and side chain aryl derivatives were less active.     

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activities of some N-[pyridyl(phenyl)carbonylamino]-tert-butyl/phenyl-1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridines

Nucleophilic attack of tert-butyl/phenylpyridines 3 on 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene 4 results in the formation of tert-butyl/phenyl substituted 2,4-dinitrophenylpyridinium chlorides 5. Benzoyl hydrazide and pyridyl acid hydrazides 6 were reacted with the pyridinium chlorides 5 furnishing the 2,4-dinitroanilino derivatives 7, which were subsequently hydrolyzed with water: p-dioxane to yield N-[pyridyl(phenyl)carbonylimino]-tert-butyl/phenylpyridinium ylides 8. The title compounds 9, N-[pyridyl(phenyl)carbonylamino]-tert-butyl/phenyl-1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridines, were obtained by sodium borohydride reduction of the pyridinium ylides 8. The anti-inflammatory activities of compounds 9a-p were determined using the carrageenan-soaked sponge model of inflammation in Sprague Dawley rats. All compounds tested showed moderate to good anti-inflammatory effects compared to indomethacin. Compounds 9b, 9c and 9p were the most active analogs of the group in this model.     

3,4-Dihydro-2-phenyl-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridines. Novel aza analogs of flavans

Complementary approaches to the synthesis of the title compounds 1 are described. Metallation of 3,5-di-bromo-2-methoxypyridine ( 5b ) by bromine/lithium exchange gave selectively the 3-lithio intermediate 6 which was trapped with substituted cinnamaldehydes 7 , providing allylic alcohols 8 in good yields. Methyl ether cleavage and concomitant cyclization occurred on exposure to concentrated hydrobromic acid in hot acetic acid. The resulting 2-phenyl-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridines were hydrogenated over Raney nickel to the title compounds which had antiviral activity. Alternatively, 1 were synthesized by Heck reaction of appropriately substituted 3-halo-2-methoxypyridines ( 5 or 24 ) with vinyl carbinol 15 to furnish ketones 16 or 26 which, upon reduction of the carbonyl group, were cyclized directly to 1 .

New chiral ligands: 1,4-diols prepared from (<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-1-phenylethanol

The stereochemistry of condensation of dilithiated 1-phenylethanol with various carbonyl compounds was investigated. In most cases the reaction proceeds nonstreoselectively, and only in the condensation with PhCOBu-t and 2,4-(MeO)₂C₆H₃COPh only one of the diastereomeric diols prevailed. It was shown by XRD analysis that in the prevailing diastereomeric diol the newly formed chiral carbinol center possessed the same configuration as the initial alcohol. The synthesized diols form homochiral dimers in the crystal lattice.

Nicotinoylamino acid compounds 4, 5, 9a, 9b, 9c, 10a and 10b were synthesized with nicotinoyl chloride or nicotinoyl azide as acetylating agents of amino acid esters or amino acids. The compounds were tested for their radiosensitizing activity in Leukemia cell line（L1210） and compared with nicotinamide; among them, compounds 9a and 9c showed significant radiosensitizing effects, the sensitizer enhancement ratio（SER） was 1.64 and 1.58, respectively, while nicotinamide did not show good radiosensitizing effect under the same conditions. Compound 9c was alone tested for radiosensitization in LA 795 cell-bearing T-739 mice, or hyperthermia and breathing carbogen（5%CO2＋95%O2） were together tested for radiosensitization. The results showed that radiation-induced growth delay was enhanced by 9c alone or by the combination of hypertheimia and carbogen. The tumor-bearing mice were irradiated locally by total 10 Gy, and the tumors grew to three times that of the original volume in an average of 5.8 d. The mice were given i.p. compound 9c at 1000 mg/kg 60 min before irradiation and treated at 43 ℃ for 30 min after irradiation or treated with breathing carbogen for 5 min before radiation or with hyperthmia（43 ℃） for 30 min after irradiation; the time required for the tumor to grow to three times the orginal volume was in an average of 12.9 and 13 d, respectively.     

Novel pyrimidinone derivatives: synthesis, antitumor and antimicrobial evaluation

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.

A preliminary evaluation of the anticonvulsant activity of the prepared compounds has indicated that compounds 4b, 7b-f, 8a and 9b exhibit significant anticonvulsant activity, while compounds 6, 8b and 8d show mild to moderate activity.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of certain new arylazothiazole containing compounds

2‐Amino‐5‐arylazo‐4‐(2‐chlorophenyl)thiazoles ( 2a‐e ) were prepared by the coupling of aryldiazonium chlorides with 2‐amino‐4‐(2‐chlorophenyl) thiazole ( 1 ). The thioureas 3a‐e were obtained by condensing the arylazothiazoles 2a‐c with the appropriate isothiocyanates. Reaction of 2d with aromatic aldehydes afforded the chalcone analogues 4a‐c . The pyridone derivatives 5a,b were synthesized by reacting the ketone 2d with different aromatic aldehydes, ethyl cyanoacetate and ammonium acetate. On the other hand, 5b was also prepared by cyclizing 4c with ethyl cyanoacetate and ammonium acetate. Furthermore, 6‐chloroimidazo[2,l‐b]‐thiazole 7 was obtained from the acid derivative 6b by treatment with POC1₃. While, the imidazo[2,l‐b]‐thiazolones 9a‐d were produced by the cyclization of the chloroacetyl derivatives 8a‐d with DMAP/pyri‐dine. Representative examples of the prepared compounds were tested for in vitro antitumor activity against two human tumor cell lines. Some compounds showed activity against brain tumor cell lines.     

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.
