Synthesis and neurotropic activity of silyl-substituted fufural thiosemicarbazones

5-Silyl-substituted-2-furaldehyde thiosemicarbazones were prepared by the condensation of the corresponding furfurals or furfural diethylace-tals with thiosemicarbazide. The neurotropic activity of the synthesized thiosemicarbazones has been studied. The majority of the compounds examined possess high or medium neurotropic activity of the depressant type. They also show antihypoxic activity and decrease the duration of phenamine stereotype behaviour. Structure-activity correlation has been found.     

Synthesis and antityrosinase,antioxidant activities of phloretin thiosemicarbazones

Three phloretin derivates were achieved through condensation of the phloretin template with thiosemicarbazide, 4-methylthiosemicarbazide, and 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide. Their purity was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatograph and their structures were determined from their ultraviolet spectra, Fourier-transform infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. The solubility of these novel compounds in ultrapure water at 25 °C was significantly improved compared with that of phloretin in the following order: phloretin thiosemicarbazone (PT, >1.00 mg/mL) > phloretin-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (PPT, 0.52 mg/mL) > phloretin-4-methylthiosemicarbazone (PMT, 0.24 mg/mL) > phloretin (0.02 mg/mL). The tyrosinase inhibitory effect and various antioxidant assays in vitro were evaluated. Results showed that PT possesses potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ = 57.81 ± 1.46 μM), which was better than phloretin (IC₅₀ = 70.08 ± 0.88 μM). They also significantly quenched 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl and exhibited strong activity against the lipid peroxidation induced by Fe²⁺/ascorbic acid. Likewise, these compounds significantly protected against 2,2′-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride-induced Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase, and pBR322 plasmid DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner.

Synthesis,antibacterial activity and docking studies of substituted quinolone thiosemicarbazones

Abstract

Fifteen 2-quinolone thiosemicarbazone derivatives of which eleven were new, were synthesized at room temperature. The key intermediate was the quinolone carbaldehyde, from which thiosemicarbazones were formed by the reaction of thiosemicarbazides with the aldehyde moiety. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The synthesized compounds showed antibacterial activity with MBCs in the range 0.80 to 36.49?mM against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus Rosenbach (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The best activity was seen when a larger halogen such as chlorine and bromine were substituted at C-6 on the quinolone scaffold and when a planar phenyl group was present on the thiosemicarbazone moiety. Activity was reduced when a smaller fluorine atom was present at C-6 or when a methyl group was attached to the thiosemicarbazone. This group of compounds showed a high negative binding affinity, which suggested promising antimcrobial activity. The 6-chloro derivative with a phenyl group on the thiosemicarbazone had the greatest negative binding affinity.     

Cyclopalladation of thiophene-substituted thiosemicarbazones

The thiosemicarbazones obtained from the condensation of thiosemicarbazide or 4,4′-dimethylthiosemicarbazide with 2-acetylthiophene react with K₂PdCl₄ in the presence of a base to give dark, poorly soluble materials in high yields. Treatment of these oligomeric compounds with Ph₃P, dppe or dppf gives monomeric palladium(II) phosphine complexes in which the deprotonated thiosemicarbazones coordinate to the metal in a tridentate fashion through the C3-cyclometallated thiophene ring, the imine nitrogen atom and the sulphur atom. This coordination mode was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis of several derivatives.     

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.

Synthesis,structural and thermal studies of some biologically active antimony semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones

The reactions of Ph₃SbCl₂ and SbCl₃ with semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone ligands resulted in Ph₃SbCl₂(L) and SbCl₃(L) (L?=?semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone ligands). These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H and ¹³C {¹H} NMR spectral data, and conductometric measurements. On the basis of spectroscopic data, a seven-coordinate and a five-coordinate antimony with ligand coordination through oxygen/sulfur and azomethine nitrogen have been suggested for Ph₃SbCl₂(L) and SbCl₃(L), respectively. These compounds show antifungal and antibacterial activities. Thermal behavior of some of the adducts have been studied by thermogravimetric analyses. Thermal decomposition of Ph₃SbCl₂(L) and SbCl₃(L) resulted in micron size Sb and Sb₂S₃ particles. The materials obtained were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction patterns, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX).     

Synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of triphenylphosphine copper(I) methylpyruvate thiosemicarbazones

This paper reports the synthesis of a series of methylpyruvate thiosemicarbazone derivatives containing, on the terminal nitrogen, substituents of different nature and size and namely, ethyl, phenyl and methylphenyl. These ligands were reacted with bis(triphenylphosphine)copper(I) nitrate and acetate to produce the respective complexes: [Cu(PPh₃)₂(Et-Hmpt)]₂(NO₃)₂ (1), [Cu(PPh₃)₂(Ph-Hmpt)]NO₃ (2), [Cu(PPh₃)₂(MePh-Hmpt)]NO₃ (3), [Cu₂(O₂CCH₃)(Et-pt)(PPh₃)₂] · H₂O (4), [Cu(Ph-mpt)(PPh₃)] (5) and [Cu₂(MePh-mpt)₂(PPh₃)₂] (6). All of them were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, EPR spectroscopy and, for compounds 1, 2, 4, and 6, by X-ray crystallography. The characterization revealed that the coordinating behaviour of the ligands is influenced by a series of factors, predominant among which is the hard soft nature of the atoms involved in the interactions with the metal centre. The complexes obtained from the nitrate copper(I) salt are formed by cationic molecules with a nitrate as a counterion, while those derived from the acetate salt present deprotonated ligands and a few unexpected features. In particular, one of the compounds (4) is a mixed valence dinuclear complex with an acetate oxygen and the thiosemicarbazone sulfur acting as bridging between the two Cu(I) and Cu(II) ions. Another one (6) presents instead a Cu(I)–Cu(I) sulfur bridged binuclear cluster.

Synthesis of CuII-RuII-CuII trinuclear complexes via redox reaction of copperI across thiosemicarbazones coordinated to rutheniumII

Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazones [C5H4N1-C(H)N2-N3H-C(S)-N4HR, R = H, L1H2; CH3, L2H2-Me; CH2CH3, L3H2-Et] with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 have formed mononuclear RuII precursors for the generation of trinuclear complexes. The reaction of 2 mol each of L1H2, L2H2-Me, or L3H2-Et with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 in the presence of Et3N has yielded mononuclear complexes [Ru(N3,S-L1H)2(PPh3)2] (1), [Ru(N3,S-L2H-Me)2(PPh3)2] (2), and [Ru(N3,S-L3H)2(PPh3)2] (3). The addition of 2 equiv of copperI chloride solution to complex 1 in acetonitrile has formed a novel trinuclear complex, (Ph3P)2RuII(L1)2CuII2Cl2 (4), in which the pendant amino group (-N4H2) loses one hydrogen along with the oxidation of CuI to CuII. In this complex, RuII is bonded to two P, two S, and two N3 atoms, while each CuII is coordinated to N1, N2, N4, and Cl atoms. Reaction with copper(I) bromide yielded a similar trinuclear complex, (Ph3P)2Ru(L1)2CuII2Br2 (5). From precursors 2 and 3, analogous complexes (Ph3P)2RuII(L2-Me)2CuII2Cl2 (6), (Ph3P)2RuII(L2-Me)2CuII2Br2 (7), (Ph3P)2RuII(L3-Et)2CuII2Cl2 (8), and (Ph3P)2RuII(L3-Et)2CuII2Br2 (9) have been synthesized. These complexes have been characterized using analytical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical techniques. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography has been carried out for precursor 2 and all of the trinuclear complexes, 4-9. X-band electron spin resonance and UV-vis spectra have confirmed the presence of CuII. The cyclic voltammetry studies support the RuII/RuIII redox behavior of this metal in trinuclear complexes.     

Platinum and palladium complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived of 2-acetylthiophene: Synthesis and spectral studies

The reaction of 2-acetylthiophene thiosemicarbazone (2-HATT) and 2-acetylthiophene 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (2-HAT-4-FT) with Pd(COD)Cl(2) (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and trans-Pt(2)PEt(3)Cl(4) yielded four new metal complexes: [Pd(2-HATT)Cl(2)] (1), [Pd(2-ATT)(2)] (2), [Pd(2-AT-4-FT)Cl] (3) and [Pt(2-ATT)(PEt(3))Cl] (4). Apart from compound 3 all the others were characterised by (1)H and (13)C{(1)H} NMR, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Multinuclear NMR experiments of (31)P{(1)H} and (195)Pt{(1)H} of complex 4 have revealed that the ligand 2-HATT behaves as a bidentate chelating agent towards Pd(COD)Cl(2) and trans-Pt(2)PEt(3)Cl(4) whereas ligand 2-HAT-4-FT forms a tridentate chelating complex with Pd(COD)Cl(2).

Synthesis and evaluation of thiosemicarbazones functionalized with furyl moieties as new chemosensors for anion recognition

A family of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazone dyes ( and ) containing furyl groups was synthesized in good yields, characterized and their response in acetonitrile in the presence of selected anions was studied. Acetonitrile solutions of and showed absorption bands in the 335-396 nm range which are modulated by the electron donor or acceptor strength of the heterocyclic systems appended to the thiosemicarbazone moiety. Fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogen sulphate, nitrate, acetate and cyanide anions were used in recognition studies. From these anions, only sensing features were seen for fluoride, cyanide, acetate and dihydrogen phosphate. Two clearly different chromo-fluorogenic behaviours were observed: (i) a small shift of the absorption band due to the coordination of the anions with the thiourea protons and (ii) the appearance of a new red shifted band due to deprotonation. For the latter effect, a change in the colour of solution from pale yellow to purple was observed. Fluorescence studies were also in agreement with the different effects observed in the UV/Vis titrations. In this case, hydrogen bonding interactions were visible through the enhancement of the emission band, whereas deprotonation induced the appearance of a new red-shifted emission. Logarithms of stability constants for the two processes (complex formation + deprotonation) for receptors in the presence of fluoride and acetate anions were determined from spectrophotometric titrations using the HypSpec V1.1.18 program. Semi-empirical calculations to evaluate the hydrogen-donating ability of the receptors and a prospective electrochemical characterization of compound in the presence of fluoride were also performed.
