We have described a simple, convenient, and high-yielding one-pot synthesis of novel azo chromene derivatives via a three-component reaction of various azo aldehydes with dimedone and malononitrile using 10 mol% of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as catalyst and ethanol as solvent at reflux condition.

Synthesis,crystal structure and cytotoxic activity of novel 5‐methyl‐4‐thiopyrimidine derivatives

This article presents the synthesis of three new 4‐thiopyrimidine derivatives obtained from ethyl 4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐sulfanylpyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate as the starting material, namely, ethyl 4‐[(4‐chlorobenzyl)sulfanyl]‐6‐methyl‐2‐phenylpyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate, C₂₁H₁₉ClN₂O₂S, ( 2 ), {4‐[(4‐chlorobenzyl)sulfanyl]‐6‐methyl‐2‐phenylpyrimidin‐5‐yl}methanol, C₁₉H₁₇ClN₂OS, ( 3 ), and 4‐[(4‐chlorobenzyl)sulfanyl]‐5,6‐dimethyl‐2‐phenylpyrimidine, C₁₉H₁₇ClN₂S, ( 4 ), which vary in the substituent at the 5‐position of the pyrimidine ring. The compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and mass spectroscopies, and also elemental analysis. The molecular structures were further studied by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Compound ( 2 ) crystallizes in the space group P with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, whereas compounds ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) crystallize in the space group P2₁/c with two and one molecule, respectively, in their asymmetric units. The conformation of each molecule is best defined by the dihedral angles formed between the pyrimidine ring and the planes of the two aryl substituents attached at the 2‐ and 4‐positions. The only structural difference between the three compounds is the substituent at the 5‐position of the pyrimidine ring, but they present significantly different features in the hydrogen‐bond interactions. Compound ( 2 ) displays a one‐dimensional chain formed by hydrogen bonds and the chains are further extended into a two‐dimensional network. Molecules of ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) generate one‐dimensional chains formed through intermolecular interactions. The study examines the cytotoxicity of compounds ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) against Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and HeLa, K562 and CFPAC cancer cell lines. The presence of the hydroxymethyl and methyl groups in ( 3 ) and ( 4 ), respectively, offers an interesting new insight into the structures and behaviour of these derivatives. Compound ( 4 ) was found to be nontoxic against CFPAC and HUVEC; however, it shows weak activity against the HeLa and K563 cell lines. The presence of a hydroxy group in ( 3 ) significantly increases its cytotoxicity towards both, i.e. the cancer (HeLa, K562 and CFPAC) and normal (HUVEC) cell lines.     

Synthesis,structure and antitumor activity of dibutyltin oxide complex with 5‐fluorouracil derivatives

The dibutyltin(IV) oxide complex reacts with 5‐fluorouracil‐l‐propanonic or5‐fluorouracil‐1‐acetic acid to give the potential antitumor activity complexes [(5‐fluorouracil)‐1‐(CH₂)_mCOOSn(Bu‐n)₂]₄O₂[m = 1, (1); m = 2, (2)] which were determined by IR and ¹H NMR.

Two 1,4‐dihydropyridine derivatives with potential calcium‐channel antagonist activity

The title compounds, benzyl 4‐(3‐chloro‐2‐fluorophenyl)‐2‐methyl‐5‐oxo‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1H‐cyclopenta[b]pyridine‐3‐carboxylate, C₂₃H₁₉ClFNO₃, (I), and 3‐pyridylmethyl 4‐[2‐fluoro‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]‐2,6,6‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo‐1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate, C₂₆H₂₄F₄N₂O₃, (II), belong to a class of 1,4‐dihydropyridines whose members sometimes display calcium modulatory properties. The 1,4‐dihydropyridine ring in each structure has a shallower than usual shallow‐boat conformation and is nearly planar in (I). In each structure, the halogen‐substituted benzene ring is oriented such that the halogen substituents are in a synperiplanar orientation with respect to the 1,4‐dihydropyridine ring plane. The oxocyclopentene ring in (I) is planar, while the oxocyclohexene ring in (II) has a half‐chair conformation, which is less commonly observed than the envelope conformation usually found in related compounds. In (I), the frequently observed intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond between the amine group and the carbonyl O atom of the oxocyclopentene ring of a neighbouring molecule links the molecules into extended chains; there are no other significant intermolecular interactions. By contrast, the amine group in (II) forms an N—H...N hydrogen bond with the pyridine ring N atom of a neighbouring molecule. Additional C—H...O interactions complete a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. The halogen‐substituted benzene ring has a weak intramolecular π–π interaction with the pyridine ring. A stronger π–π interaction occurs between the 1,4‐dihydropyridine rings of centrosymmetrically related molecules.

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.
