Abstract  

The reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one or its 2-methylthio derivative with hydrazonoyl halides, in the presence of triethylamine, yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The structure of the latter compounds was further confirmed by reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one with the appropriate active chloromethylenes followed by coupling of the products with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the non-isolable azo-coupling products which converted, in situ, to 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction mechanism was proposed and the products were screened for their biological activity. Some of the newly synthesized compounds had a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.     

Isoxazolopyrimidinethione and Isoxazolopyridopyrimidinethione Derivatives: Key Intermediates for Synthesis of Novel Fused Triazoles as Potent 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors and Anti‐Prostate Cancer

The arylideneisoxazolone derivative 1 is used for preparation of two different pyrimidinethiones 3 and 5 through interaction with thiourea and thiouracil, respectively. Compounds 3 and 5 were subjected to reaction with different hydrazonyl halides in basic medium to afford different triazolopyrimidines 9a , 9b , 9c , 9d , 9e , 9f , 9g , 9h and 13a , 13b , 13c , 13d , 13e , 13f , the structures were confirmed by their spectral and elemental analysis. All the newly synthesized products were screened against 5α‐reductase. Some of the newly synthesized compounds showed potent 5α‐reductase inhibition activities with good ED₅₀.     

A convenient ultrasound-promoted synthesis of some new thiazole derivatives bearing a coumarin nucleus and their cytotoxic activity

Successful implementation of ultrasound irradiation for the rapid synthesis of a novel series of 3-[1-(4-substituted-5-(aryldiazenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl]-2H-chromen-2-ones 5a-h, via reactions of 2-(1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene) thiosemicarbazide (2) and the hydrazonoyl halides 3(4), was demonstrated. Also, a new series of 5-arylidene-2-(2-(1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazol-4(5H)-ones 10a-d were synthesized from reaction of 2 with chloroacetic acid and different aldehydes. Moreover, reaction of 2-cyano-N'-(1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)-acetohydrazide (12) with substituted benzaldehydes gave the respective arylidene derivatives 13a-c under the conditions employed. The structures of the synthesized compounds were assigned based on elemental analyses and spectral data. Also, the cytototoxic activities of the thiazole derivative 5a was evaluated against HaCaT cells (human keratinocytes). It was found that compound 5a possess potent cytotoxic activity.     

Synthesis,Molecular Docking Study,and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Some Novel 1,3,4-Thiadiazole as Well as 1,3-Thiazole Derivatives Bearing a Pyridine Moiety

Pyridine, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, and 1,3-thiazole derivatives have various biological activities, such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anticonvulsant, and antitubercular, as well as other anticipated biological properties, including anticancer activity. The starting 1-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)-3-phenylthiourea (2) was prepared and reacted with various hydrazonoyl halides 3a–h, α-haloketones 5a–d, 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione 7a and ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate 7b, which afforded the 3-aryl-5-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazoles 4a–h, 3-phenyl-4-arylthiazoles 6a–d and the 4-methyl-3- phenyl-5-substituted thiazoles 8a,b, respectively. The structures of the synthesized products were confirmed by spectral data. All of the compounds also showed remarkable anticancer activity against the cell line of human colon carcinoma (HTC-116) as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) compared with the Harmine as a reference under in vitro condition. 1,3,4-Thiadiazole 4h was found to be most promising and an excellent performer against both cancer cell lines (IC₅₀ = 2.03 ± 0.72 and 2.17 ± 0.83 µM, respectively), better than the reference drug (IC₅₀ = 2.40 ± 0.12 and 2.54 ± 0.82 µM, respectively). In order to check the binding modes of the above thiadiazole derivatives, molecular docking studies were performed that established a binding site with EGFR TK.     

Efficient Synthesis and Antimicrobial Evaluation of New Azolopyrimidines‐Bearing Pyrazole Moiety

Sodium salt of 3‐hydroxy‐1‐(1‐aryl‐5‐methylpyrazolyl)propenone derivatives was used as a precursor for synthesis of various fused azolopyrimidine ring systems as pyrazolopyrimidines, triazolopyrimidines, and pyrimidobenzimidazoles following many procedures. The identity of the prepared compounds was elucidated by their spectral data and elemental analyses. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of 13 new compounds was evaluated, and many derivatives showed good to moderate activity.     

Synthesis and Biological Activities of 7‐Arylazo‐7H‐pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4] Triazol‐6(5H)‐Ones and 7‐Arylhydrazono‐7H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b] [1,3,4]thiadiazines

Two series of 7‐arylazo‐7H‐3‐(2‐methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazol‐6(5H)‐ones 4 and 7‐arylhydrazono‐7H‐3‐(2‐methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines 7 were prepared via reactions of 4‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐5‐(2‐methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazole 1 with ethyl arylhydrazono‐chloroacetate 2 and N‐aryl‐2‐oxoalkanehydrazonoyl halides 5 , respectively. A possible mechanism is proposed to account for the formation of the products. The biological activity of some of these products was also evaluated.     

Simple Zeros of the Riemann Zeta-Function

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, Montgomery showed by meansof his pair correlation method that at least two-thirds of thezeros of Riemann's zeta-function are simple. Later he and Taylorimproved this to 67.25 percent and, more recently, Cheer andGoldston increased the percentage to 67.2753. Here we proveby a new method that if the Riemann and Generalized LindelöofHypotheses hold, then at least 70.3704 percent of the zerosare simple and at least 84.5679 percent are distinct. Our methoduses mean value estimates for various functions defined by Dirichletseries sampled at the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. 1991Mathematics Subject Classification: 11M26.
