Abstract
Carbamazepine (CBZ) is an anticonvulsant drug, widely used also in various disorders like neuropathic pain, bipolar affective disorder, resistant schizophrenia, and trigeminal neuralgia. Appropriate analytical procedures are necessary to monitor, detect and quantify CBZ in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples. The search for new methods for drug determination is one of the most important challenges of modern scientific research. It is important to study the chromatographic conditions of CBZ analysis, which is necessary for the further development of efficient drug determination methods. In this work, retention, peak symmetry, and system efficiency of CBZ on Polar RP and Phenyl-Hexyl stationary phases were investigated. Various mobile phases containing methanol (MeOH) and/or acetonitrile (ACN) as organic modifiers, acetate buffer, and the addition of diethylamine (DEA) were applied. Different chromatographic systems were compared to obtain satisfying retention, peak shape, and system efficiency. The most optimal chromatographic system with Polar RP column was applied for the determination of CBZ in pharmaceutical formulations, human serum, and saliva by the high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) method. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was applied for sample preparation prior to chromatographic analysis. The proposed method was validated for linearity, selectivity, precision, and accuracy. Confirmation of the presence of CBZ and its main metabolites in biological samples obtained from patients was performed using the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method.

New Rigid Polycyclic Bis(phosphane) for Asymmetric Catalysis. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24030571. [PMID: 30764489 PMCID: PMC6385021 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24030571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 02/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A simple, highly efficient synthesis of a series of novel chiral non-racemic rigid tetracyclic phosphorus ligands, applicable in important chemical asymmetric transformations, was performed. In a tandem cross-coupling/C-H bond activation reaction, a well-recognised and readily available ligand (R,R)-NORPHOS was used as the starting material. The palladium complexes of new ligands were obtained and characterised on the example of a crystalline dichloropalladium complex of [(1R,2R,9S,10S,11R,12R)-4-phenyltetracyclo[8.2.1.02,9.03,8]trideca-3,5,7-triene-11,12-diyl]bis(diphenylphosphane). A notably high activity and stereoselectivity of the palladium catalysts based on the new ligands were confirmed in a model asymmetric allylic substitution reaction. Herein, we discuss the geometry of the palladium complexes formed and its impact on the efficiency of the catalysts. A comparison of their geometric features with other bis(phosphane) ligand complexes found in the Cambridge Structural Database and built density functional theory (DFT) commutated models is also presented and rationalised.

Abstract
The series of 8-aryl-2,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-3,4-diones (11-20) and 8-aryl-4-imino-2,3,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3(6H)-ones (21-25) were designed and their in vitro cytotoxic activities against human LS180, HeLa, T47D, A549 and RPMI 8226 carcinoma cells are presented. In the crystalline state molecule 12 exists as the predominant tautomeric 3-oxo form, whereas the second possible 3-hydroxy tautomer is not observed. Compound 19 revealed a strong affection to LS180 cancer cells at lower tested concentration (37.9 microM) and simultaneously was found to be non-toxic towards the normal cell line investigated--GMK cells. Furthermore, this compound was proved to possess the efficiency for DNA strand breakage of the examined cancer cell lines. However, imidazotriazin-3,4-dione 20 was able to cause significant viability decreases in human RPMI 8226 peripheral blood myeloma cells. Compound 22 has exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects against LS180 and A549 carcinoma cells, whereas 24 revealed the highest growth inhibition against A549 cell line. Simultaneously, at lower tested concentration these compounds were proved to be completely non-toxic for GMK cells. Moreover, cytotoxic and antibacterial properties of starting, tautomeric 1-aryl-2-hydrazonoimidazolidines (1-6 and 8-9) are presented. Six of them (1-2, 4-6 and 9) proved active as antimicrobials. All these compounds revealed MIC values in the range of 15.0-78.6 microM. Their activities were compared to those of ampicillin and chloramphenicol.

Abstract
Ethyl 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (1) was yielded through total synthesis and reacted with acetic anhydride to give the acetylated products 2-6. Compounds 1-6 were studied with HPLC, X-ray, FT-IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and MS. Acetylation was carried out in solvents of various polarity, namely; chloroform; dioxane; DMF; acetic anhydride, at room temperature and at boiling points; and in the presence and absence of DMAP. The acetylated products are mainly nitrogen atoms in the ring. The position of the ring proton in the solution was based on NOESY; multinuclear HMBC, HSQC spectra and calculations. For equivalent amounts (1-1.5 mol) of acetic anhydride at room temperature two products of monoacetylation are produced in the ring: 2 and 3, ca. 2 : 1 and at the same time only small amount of the third product of monoacetylated, 5 in DMF, as well the product diacetylated, 4. The greatest amount of the product 4 is produced during the reaction with chloroform. However, in this solvent and in dioxane no product 5 is produced. Compound 2 is, largely, formed in dimethylformamide, in the presence DMAP, 0.2 eq. In the presence of this catalytic base, for the first hour, there is a mixture 2 and 3 to the ratio ca. 95 : 5. With 8 eq of Ac(2)O at reflux, after another hour, the compounds 3, 4 and 6 appear about equal amounts. After a longer time, the compound, which appears most in this mixture is triacetylated derivative 6. The structural and spectroscopic characteristics of compounds 1-6 have been given and the methods for their preparation have been provided.

Abstract
The 1-aryl-2-hydrazinoimidazolines (2a-h) were directly obtained from appropriate 1-aryl-2-methylthioimidazolines (1a-h) by condensation reaction with hydrazine hydrate. Antimicrobial activities of two 1-aryl-2-hydrazinoimidazolines (2b and 2e) are presented. Their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. The susceptibility of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, mould and yeast-like fungi strains to synthesized compounds and the MIC values against two reference strains of bacteria were determined. The strongest antibacterial activity for compound 2b in relation to reference Gram-negative Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 bacterial strain with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 3.91micro g mL(-1) was found. Compound 2b showed superior activity (MIC) to ampicillin and comparable to chloramphenicol. A novel compound 2e was found to be effective against E. coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 at concentrations of 7.81micro g mL(-1) and 15.62micro g mL(-1), respectively. Compound 2e revealed antibacterial activity against E. coli ATCC 25922, superior to ampicillin and inferior to chloramphenicol. Against S. aureus ATCC 25923 strain tested, compound 2e demonstrated MIC value inferior to ampicillin and chloramphenicol. Moreover, the synthesis, crystal structure and antiproliferative activity of novel derivatives of methyl and ethyl 2-(4-oxo-8-aryl-2H-3,4,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)acetates (3a-f and 3g-j) are presented. These compounds were obtained from 1-aryl-2-hydrazinoimidazolines (2a-f) by the addition and cyclization reactions with fumaric acid esters. Molecular structures of these compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, EI-MS and by X-ray crystallography (for 3g). The tested imidazotriazines 3e, 3i and 3j exhibited anticancer activities towards the following cancer cells: LS180 (ECACC 87021202, human Caucasian colon adenocarcinoma cells), SiHa (ECACC 85060701, uterus cancer cells), and T47D (ECACC 85102201, human breast carcinoma cells). Compounds 3i and 3j having comparable GI values (above 50%) towards uterus cancer cell line (SiHa) at both examined concentrations (10micro g mL(-1) and 50micro g mL(-1)) were found to be the most effective against this cancer cell line; their GI factors were 53%, 51% and 62%, 55%, respectively, in both examined concentrations (10micro g mL(-1) and 50micro g mL(-1)). Furthermore, the distinctly marked lower cytotoxicity of tested imidazotriazines 3i and 3j against normal cell lines (HSF, human skin fibroblast cells and Vero African Green Monkey Kidney cells, GMK clone) and almost 2-times higher against the majority of cancer cell lines was confirmed.

Abstract
Synthesis and anticancer activity of ethyl 1-(4-oxo-8-aryl-4,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)formates (7-12) are presented. The title compounds were obtained by two independent synthesis methods from 1-aryl-2-hydrazono-imidazolidines (1-aryl-2-hydrazino-imidazolines) (1-6) by cyclocondensation reaction with diethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)malonate (A) and diethyl 2-oxomalonate (B). Molecular structure of synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR, EI-MS spectra, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography for 12. Compounds 10 and 11 exhibited anticancer activity towards following cancer cells: LS180 (ECACC 87021202, human Caucasian colon adenocarcinoma cells), SiHa (ECACC 85060701, uterus cancer cells), T47D (ECACC 85102201, human breast carcinoma cells). Compound 10 was found to be the most active against SiHa cancer line; its GI was 41 and 52%, respectively in both examined concentrations (10 and 50 microg ml(-1)), whereas compound 11 had the highest potential to reduce the growth of LS180 and SiHa cancer lines, especially in a higher dose (50 microg ml(-1)). Moreover, the distinctly marked lower cytotoxicity of tested compounds against normal cell lines (HSF, human skin fibroblast cells and Vero African Green Monkey Kidney cells, GMK clone) and almost two-times higher against cancer cell lines was confirmed. Also antibacterial activity of starting 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazonoimidazolidine hydroiodide (4) is presented. Molecular structure of 4 was confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, EI-MS spectra, elemental analysis and (1)H-(1)H COSY, HMBC and HMQC correlations. The marked antibacterial activity for this compound in relation to Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 with equal minimal inhibitory concentration values of 15.62 and 15.62 microg ml(-1) was found.

Abstract
A series of three homologous dimethyldiamides Ac-(Z)-deltaPhe-NMe2, Ac-L-Phe-NMe2 and Ac-DL-Phe-NMe2 have been synthesized and their structures determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. To learn more about the conformational preferences of the compounds studied, the fully relaxed phi, psi conformational energy maps on the free molecules of Ac-deltaAla-NMe2 and Ac-(Z)-deltaPhe-NMe2 were obtained with the HF/3-21G method and the calculated minima re-optimized with the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G** method. The crystal state results have been compared with the literature data. The studied dimethyldiamide Ac-deltaXaa-NMe2 combines the double bond in positions alpha, beta and the C-terminal tertiary amide within one molecule. As the representative probe with deltaXaa = deltaAla, (Z)-deltaLeu and (Z)-deltaPhe shows, in the solid state they adopt the conservative conformation with phi, psi approximately -45 degrees, approximately 130 degrees and with a non-planar tertiary amide bond, whatever the packing forces are. This conformation is located on the Ramachandran map in region H/F, which is of high-energy for common amino acids, but not so readily accessible to them. The free molecule calculations on Ac-deltaAla-NMe2 and Ac-(Z)-deltaPhe-NMe2 reveal that, in spite of dissimilar overall conformational profiles of these molecules, this structure is one of their low-energy conformers and for Ac-(Z)-deltaPhe-NMe2 it constitutes the global minimum. So, the theoretical results corroborate those experimental results proving that this structure is robust enough to avoid conformational distortion due to packing forces. In contrast to Ac-deltaXaa-NMe2, the saturated Ac-L/DL-Xaa-NMe2 shows the constancy of the associative patterns but do not prefer any molecular structure in the solid state.

Abstract
A series of three homologous dimethyldiamides Ac-DeltaAla-NMe2, Ac-L-Ala-NMe2 and Ac-DL-Ala-NMe2 has been synthesized and the structures of these amides determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. To learn more about the conformational preferences of compounds studied, the fully relaxed (phi-psi) conformational energy maps in vacuo (AM1) of Ac-DeltaAla-NMe2 and Ac-L-Ala-NMe2 were obtained, and the calculated minima reoptimized with the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G** method. The crystal-state results have been compared with the literature data. Ac-DeltaAla-NMe2 and other alpha,beta-dehydroamino acid dimethyldiamides, Ac-DeltaXaa-NMe2 adopt the conservative conformation of the torsion angles phi, psi = approximately -45 degrees, approximately 130 degrees, which are located in the high-energy region (region H) of Ramachandran diagram. Ac-L-Ala-NMe2 and Ac-DL-Ala-NMe2, as well as other saturated amino acid dimethylamides Ac-L/DL-Xaa-NMe2, present common peptide structures, and no conformational preferences are observed. Molecular packing of the amides analysed reveals two general hydrogen-bonded motifs. Dehydro and DL-species are paired into centrosymmetric dimers, and L-compounds form catemers. However, Ac-DeltaAla-NMe2 and Ac-DL-Ala-NMe2 constitute exceptions: their molecules also link into catemers.

Abstract
The synthesis and physicochemical properties of new carbonyl derivatives of 1-aryl-2-iminoimidazolidine are presented. Isomeric 1-(1-arylimidazolidine-2-ylidene)-3-arylureas (series A) and 1-aryl-2-imine-3-arylaminocarbonylimidazolidines (series B) were obtained after the condensation reaction of 1-aryl-2-iminoimidazolidines and arylisocyanates. 1-Aryl-2-iminoimidazolidines were synthesised in a two-step reaction from the respective anilines. The molecular structure of 1-(1-phenylimidazolidine-2-ylidene)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)urea (A2) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The representatives of both investigated series were evaluated in behavioural animal tests. They exhibited significant, especially analgesic, activity on the animal central nervous system (CNS). They displayed substantial effect on the serotonine and catecholamine neurotransmission as well, at very low toxicity (LD(50) over 2000 mg kg(-1) i.p.). In the binding affinity tests they exhibited moderate affinity (on the micromolar level) toward opioid (mu) and serotonine (5HT(2)) receptors. The derivatives of series A had moderate affinity toward benzodiazepine (BZD) receptor as well. Distinctive differences observed in their activity spectra can be connected with the presence of particular structural features such as relative orientation of the two aromatic rings and the carbonyl moiety.
