The reaction of 4-methoxy-5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidine with 2-oxo-1-chlorocyclopentyl(hexyl)glyoxalate esters gave derivatives of the previously unknown tetracyclic systems 1,2-dioxocyclopenta (hexa)[g]oxazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazines, which are transformed by ammonium acetate into derivatives of 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa) [g]imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b]-[1,4] thiazines. Derivatives of the new tricyclic 1-oxazino [5,4-g]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine system were obrtained by reaction of 6-carbethoxy-7-acetylpyrimido [4,5-b] [1,4] thiazines with hydroxylamine.

Dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]- and dihydropyrimido[4,5-b]indoles

Aromatic aldehydes react with indole-2-carboxylic acid azides under acid catalysis conditions to give the corresponding 3-(-halobenzyl)indoles, which react with aliphatic and aromatic amines to give the corresponding aminobenzylindoles. The latter undergo intramolecular cyclization to dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles at room temperature and are converted to dihydropyrimido[4,5-b]indoles through the Curtius rearrangement when they are heated to 80-110°C. Acetylation of the latter products gives N- and O-acetyl derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 935–939, July, 1982.     

Imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles. II. Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of some imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles

3-[2-[p-(Un)substituted phenyl]imidazo [2,1-b]benzothiazol-3- yl]propionic acid derivatives (2a--e) were prepared via the interaction of the corresponding 2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles (1a--e) with acrylic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride and acetic acid. Esterification of 2a--e produced methyl esters (3a--e). Upon the interaction of 3a with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, the S-dioxide (4a) was obtained. Compound 5a was prepared from 4a by alkaline hydrolysis. Vilsmeier formylation for 1a--e produced novel [2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol-3- yl]formaldehyde derivatives (6a--e). Derivatives 6a--e reacted with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 3-hydroxy-3-[2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol- 3-yl]propionate esters (7a--e). Compound dl-7a was resolved with l-(+)-tartaric acid. Compounds 2a--e showed weak or no activity in the carrageein-induced paw edema assay. Compound 4a significantly inhibited the leakage of pontamine-sky blue dye into the peritoneal cavity of mice, in the capillary permeability inhibition assay. Compound 5a inhibited the writhing by 62% in the acetic acid-induced writhing assay.     

Polymethine dyes — Benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Polymethine dyes — benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives — were synthesized, and their spectral properties are discussed. Replacement of a vinylene group by an oxygen or selenium atom in one benzene ring of the 2-benzo[h]quinoline residue in the cyanines causes a large bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the dyes as compared with replacement by a sulfur atom. The dyes derived from benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives are more deeply colored than the derivatives of both thionaphtheno[2,3-b]-pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp.1611–1614, December, 1972.

During a search for novel, orally-active inhibitors of upregulation of adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), we found a new series of 10H-pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]benzothiazine derivatives to be potent ICAM-1 inhibitors. Of these compounds, N-[1-(10H-Pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]benzothiazin-8-ylmethyl)piperidin-4-yl]-N',N'-dimethylsulfamide 7p showed the potent oral inhibitory activities against neutrophil migration in a murine interleukin-1 (IL-1) induced paw inflammation model.

The mercaptotriazole 5 was prepared from 4,the latter being prepared from 1 throng 2 and 3. The title compounds 6 were depicted in scheme 1. The structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, NMR, MS and IR techniques.     

Regiospecific synthesis of pyrido[3,4-b]- and pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole-5,11-dione derivatives. Evaluation of their in vitro antifungal or antiprotozoological activities.

Hetero Diels-Alder reactions between 2- or 3-bromocarbazolequinones 1a or 1b and azadiene 5 afford regiospecifically pyrido[3,4-b]- and pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole-3,5,11-triones 6a and 6b. The regiochemistry of the cycloadditions is controlled by the position of the bromine atom at C-2 or C-3 of the bromoquinone. The corresponding N- and O-methyl derivatives 7 and 8 are prepared. Structural assignment of the regioisomers is made by 1H-NMR nuclear Overhauser effect difference experiments performed on a diacetoxy derivative of pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole 9b. The in vitro antifungal and antiprotozoological activities of some prepared derivatives have been evaluated against Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Cryptococcus neoformans and Trichomonas vaginalis. None of the tested compounds have shown significant activity towards the yeasts or protozoa.

Synthesis of tricyclic 4-chloro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzodiazepines

[reaction: see text] A novel methodology was developed for the efficient synthesis of 4-chloro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzodiazepines. The key is the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 5-amino-4-(N-substituted)anilino-6-chloropyrimidine with either a carboxylic acid or its derivatives to construct the 4-chloro-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzodiazepine core. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution allows the introduction of one more diversity point in the target molecules. This strategy provides an efficient method to access a library of compounds based on privileged substructures that are of great interest in drug discovery.

Novel piperidine carboxylic acid derivatives of 10H-pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]benzothiazine were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory activity on the upregulation of adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Replacement of the methanesulfonyl group on the piperidine ring of previously prepared derivatives with a carboxylic acid-containing moiety resulted in a number of potent adhesion molecule inhibitors. Of these, (anti) [3-(10H-pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]benzothiazin-8-yl)methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-9-yl]acetic acid 2q (ER-49890), showed the most potent oral inhibitory activities against neutrophil migration in an interleukin-1 (IL-1) induced paw inflammation model using mice, and leukocyte accumulation in a carrageenan pleurisy model in the rat, and therapeutic effect on collagen-induced arthritis in rats.
