The structure of the new products was elucidated via elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. Also, screening the antitumor activity of new compounds against two human cell lines (HepG-2 and HCT-116) was carried out. Some new products showed significant antitumor activities.

Methylation of 1-p-nitrophenyl-2-piperidino-1H--carboline followed by treatment with acetone in an alkaline medium yields 4-acetonyl-5-methyl-1,4-dihydro-5H-pyrido[3,2-b]indole derivative. The rearrangement of 2-arylimino-3-cyano-1-p-nitrophenyl-5H-pyrido[3,2-b]indoles into 2-(aryl)nitrophenylamino-3-cyano-5H-pyrido[3,2-b]indoles was accomplished on heating above the melting point or on treatment with potassium tert-butoxide.

Synthesis of 17β-hydroxy-1′-H-5α-androst-2-eno[3,2-b]pyrrole and 17β-hydroxy-1′-H-5α-androst-3-eno[3,4-b]pyrrole from O-(2-hydroxyethyl)ketoxime precursors

Pyrrolosteroids such as 17β-hydroxy-1′-H-5α-androst-2-eno[3,2-b]pyrrole ( 1 ) and the novel 17β-hydroxy-1′-H-5α-androst-3-eno[3,4-b]pyrrole ( 12 ) can be synthesized from the corresponding O-(2-hydroxyethyl)ketoxime precursors.

Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity.

Dedicated to Professor Dr. Hans Junek, Graz, on the occasion of his 70th birthday A novel efficient synthesis of pyrano fused heterocycles namely, pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-2,5(6H)-diones 3a-e, 7b-d , pyrano[3,2-c]benzopyran-2,5(6H)-dione ( 7f ), and pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-2,5(6H)-diones 10, 11 was achieved by the condensation of 4-hydroxy-2-(1H)-quinolones 1a-e , 4-hydroxycoumarin ( 1f ), or 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridone ( 9 ) with α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone ( 2 ) or the sodium salt of α-formyl-γ-butyrol-actone ( 6 ), respectively, in the presence of ammonium acetate.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.

Electrochemical oxidation of substituted pyrroles. III. Anodic oxidation of 2,5-diphenyl-3-acetylpyrrole

The electrochemical oxidation of 2,5-diphenyl-3-acetylpyrrole (I) is described. The cyclic derivative 1,6a-dihydro-2,5,6a-triphenyl-3,4-diacetylbenzo[g]pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole (II) was obtained in very good yield. However, when water was present in the reaction medium, a different derivative, 4-acetyl-2-hydroxy-2,5-diphenyl-3-(4′-acetyl-2′,5′-diphenyl-3′-yl)-2H-pyrrole (III) , was obtained as the main product. 2,2′,5,5′-Tetraphenyl-4,4′-diacetyl-3,3′-dipyrryl (IV) , a potentially useful intermediate for the synthesis of condensed pyrroles, was synthesized by zinc reduction of III.

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XIII. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketone to N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-ones gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones II, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano-[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones III in good to moderate yields. In the triethylamine treatment of IIh (NR₂ = diphenylamino), 3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-one was isolated in low yield near to IIIh, whereas IIc (NR² = diisopropylamino) gave in low yield 4-diisopropylamino-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano(3,2-d)-1-benzoxepin-2-one.     

Furannes et pyrroles disubstitués en 2,3. XVI synthèse de furo[3,2-c]pyranones-4 et nouvelle voie d'accès aux furo[3,2-c]pyridines

Treatment of 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one with chloracetalhyde in basic aqueous medium gave 6-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyran-4-one. This compound reacted with ammonium hydroxide and some primary amines to form the corresponding N-substituted furo[3,2-c]pyrid-4-ones which may also be obtained from 4-hydroxy-α-pyridones. Furo[3,2-c]pyran-4-one was acylated at the 2 position and 4-chloro-6-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine easily gave 4-substituted derivatives by displacement of the halogen atom.
