Efficient synthesis and In Silico study of some novel pyrido[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine derivatives

A novel series of 1,5‐dihydropyrido‐triazolo‐pyrimidine derivatives were prepared by cyclocondensation of 2‐thioxo‐pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines (prepared from reaction of chalcone with 6‐aminothiouracil) with a variety of hydrazonoyl chlorides. Based on spectroscopic evidence and their chemical syntheses, the structures of the newly prepared compounds were elucidated. Designated compounds are forced for molecular docking by using MOE 2014.010 Package software; one of in silico study tools. Synthesized compounds are targeting Human Cyclin‐defendant Kinase 2 (CK2) PDB ID (1PXO.Protein data bank) due to its important role in controlling the human cell cycle and also for meiosis.

Facile synthesis and antiproliferative activity of new 3-cyanopyridines

BACKGROUND

Pyridines have been reported to possess various pharmacological activities.

RESULTS

Sodium 3-oxo-3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)prop-1-en-1-olate (2) and sodium 3-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromen-2-yl)prop-1-en-1-olate (7) were prepared and reacted with 2-cyano-N'-(1-aryl(heteryl)ethylidene)acetohydrazides 3a-d to produce 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile derivatives 5a-d and 9a-d, respectively, in good yields. Also, 3a-d reacted with sodium (2-oxocyclopentylidene)methanolate (11a) or sodium (2-oxocyclohexylidene) methanolate (11b) to yield 2-oxo-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]pyridine-3-carbonitriles 13a-d and 2-oxo-hexahydroquinoline-3-carbonitriles 13e-h, respectively. The mechanisms that account for the formation of the products are discussed. Additionally, the structures of all the newly synthesized products are confirmed, based on elemental analysis and spectral data. Several of the newly synthesized compounds are evaluated for their antitumor activity against HEPG2 and their structure activity relationship (SAR) was studied.

CONCLUSIONS

The results revealed that the pyridine derivatives 5c and 5d (IC50 = 1.46, 7.08 µM, respectively) have promising antitumor activity against liver carcinoma cell line (HEPG2), compared to the reference drug, doxorubicin.

Efficient Synthesis of New Benzofuran‐based Thiazoles and Investigation of their Cytotoxic Activity Against Human Breast Carcinoma Cell Lines

A new series of 1,3‐thiazole‐benzofuran derivatives was synthesized via heterocyclization of 2‐(1‐(6‐alkoxy‐4,7‐dimethoxybenzofuran‐5‐yl)ethylidene)‐2‐methyl‐2l4‐diazane‐1‐carbothioamides with hydrazonoyl halides. Also, 1‐(4,7‐dimethoxybenzofuran‐5‐yl)‐3‐phenylprop‐2‐en‐1‐one derivatives were used for synthesis of another series of 1,3‐thiazole‐pyrazole‐benzofuran. The structure of the newly synthesized products was elucidated via elemental analysis, spectral data, and alternative routes whenever possible. Seven new compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against the human breast carcinoma (MCF‐7) cell lines compared with doxorubicin drug. The results revealed that some new compounds showed promising anticancer activity.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Molecular Docking of Novel bis‐thiazolyl Thienothiophene Derivatives as Promising Cytotoxic Antitumor Drug

A novel, facile reaction for the synthesis of series of bis‐thiazole derivatives has been developed from the reaction of the appropriate thiosemicarbazone derivatives and bis‐2‐bromoacetylthieno[2,3‐b]thiophene derivatives in ethanol under reflux. The structures of the newly synthesized products were established on the basis of spectral data (mass, IR, and 1H and 13C NMR) and elemental analyses. Fifteen compounds of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). All compounds showed anticancer activity but differs in potency comparable with the reference drug Cisplatin. Moreover, molecular docking study using MOE software predicted the best binding mode between the most active compound 5o into the active site of human heat‐shock protein 90. The computational studies are confirming the results in biological activity.

Utility of 2-thioxo-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidinone in synthesis of pyridopyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]-thiadiazinones and pyridopyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazinones as antimicrobial agents

BACKGROUND

Pyridopyrimidines are of current interest because of their extensive variety of biological and pharmacological activities.

RESULTS

A series of pyrido[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazinones was obtained by aminomethylation of pyridopyrimidinethione with formaldehyde solution (37%) and different primary aromatic amines. Another series of pyrido[2',3:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazinones was prepared by Michael addition reaction of pyridopyrimidinethione to the activated double bond of a number of arylidene malononitrile and 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethylene)malononitrile. The mechanisms of formation of the synthesized compounds were discussed and the assigned structure was established via microanalysis and spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, and Ms.). A comparative study of the biological activity of the synthesized compounds with chloramphenicol and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole is shown in Table 1. Generally, all synthesized compounds showed adequate inhibitory effects on the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, we use a simple (synthetic) strategy for the synthesis of pyrimidothiadiazines, based on their aminomethylation through the Mannich reaction; they have also been synthesized by the application of the Michael addition to activated nitriles. Mechanisms and structures of the newly synthesized compounds were examined: the antimicrobial activity of some selected compounds was evaluated, which demonstrated adequate inhibitory effects.

A series of pyrazolyl-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, pyrazolyl-tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, pyrazolyl-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines and bis-azolopyrimidines were prepared by reaction of pyrazolyl-chalcones or its bis-pyrazolyl-chalcones with the appropriate heterocyclic amines as aminotriazole, aminotetrazole, 2-aminobenzimidazole and 4,6-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-amine by grinding method. The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, Mass). Moreover, the newly synthesized products were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activities and the results showed that compounds 5f and 11d exhibited excellent activities compared with penicillin G and streptomycin as reference drugs.
