This study reports a novel method for the synthesis of a new class of pyrazole thioglycosides 7a-h as pyrazomycin analogues.

Treatment of pyrazole salts 3a–d with hydrochloric acid at room temperature afforded the corresponding 3-mercaptopyrazole derivatives 5. The latter compounds were treated with tetra-acetylated glycosyl bromides 4 in sodium hydride-DMF to tolerate the S-glycosyl 6a-h compounds. Ammonolysis of the latters afforded the corresponding free thioglycosides 7a-h. The structures of the reaction products were elucidated based on spectral data and elemental analysis.

The oxidation of methyl 5–0-benzyl-3-deoxy-3-fluoro-α-D-arabi-nofuranoside (1) with DMSO/Ac₂o afforded a ～ 2:1 mixture of 2-keto derivatives with erythro and threo configuration resulting from isomerization at C3. Successive treatment of the above mixture with MeONH₂, LiA1H₄, and S-ethyl trifluoroacetate followed by silica gel chromatography afforded methyl 5–0-benzyl-2, 3-dideoxy-3-fluoro-2-(trifluoroacetamido)-α-D-ribofuranoside (6b) and its lyxo isomer 7b in a total yield of 25% and 5%, respectively. The arabino analogue 25 was prepared from 6b. Compounds 6b, 7b and 25 were converted to the corresponding 5–0-benzoyl derivatives 8a, 9 and 26. A series of 2′-amino-2′, 3′-dideoxy-3′-fluoro-β-D-ribo- and-α-D-lyxofuranosides of natural heterocyclic bases have been synthesized starting from 8a and 9. None of the test compounds had any antiviral activity. 3′-Fluoro-2′-amino-2′, 3′-dideoxycytidine (16) was the only compound showing inhibition of murine L1210 and human Molt/4F cell proliferation (50% effective concentration: 39–42μg/m1).     

CYP 17 and CYP 19 Inhibitors. Evaluation of Fluorine Effects on the Inhibiting Activity of Regioselectively Fluorinated 1-(Naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)imidazoles

Regioselectively fluorinated 1-(naphth-2-ylmethyl)imidazoles 1a–h have been synthesized starting from the corresponding (naphth-2-yl)methanols (2). 2a–d have been obtained by LiAlH4-promoted reduction of fluorinated 1-methyl-2-naphthaldehydes. The latter were easily prepared in fairly good overall yields by ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN)-promoted oxidative addition of the suitable 3-(fluoroaryl)-1-trimethylsilyloxy-1-butenes to ethyl vinyl ether in methanol followed by cyclization of the resulting acetals in strongly acidic medium in the presence of DDQ. 2e–h were prepared by LiAlH4-promoted reduction of the corresponding fluorinated methyl 2-naphthoates. The latter were more profitably obtained by reacting the suitable benzyl bromide with the sodium salt of dimethyl 2-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)malonate in DMF followed by demethoxycarbonylation and acid catalysed cyclization of the resulting acetals. Compared with the non-fluorinated parent compounds 1i–l, fluorinated 1-(naphth-2-yl)methylimidazoles 1a–h turned out to be potent inhibitors of CYP17 and CYP19 enzymes. The most active inhibitor of CYP17 is 1c, whereas CYP19 is strongly inhibited by 1b, 1e, and 1g. Interestingly, 1g is a potent dual inhibitor also being very active towards CYP19.

Abstract

Reactions of α, α′-dichloroazo compounds 2 with SbCl₅ gave 1-(chloroalkyl)-1-aza-2-azoniaallene salts 3 as reactive intermediates.

Analogously, 12 was prepared from the cycloaddition of 4 with the α-chloroazo compound 10 in the presence of SbCl₅. Deblocking of 12 with sodium methoxide afforded 13. Compounds 8a,b,e,f and 13 were tested against HIV-1, HIV-2, HSV-1 and HSV-2 and were found to be inactive.

Results of the antimicrobial screening showed that compounds 5d, 5e, 5f, 5h and 5k have broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy being moderately active against all the tested Gram +ve and two Gram ?ve bacteria. Also, compound 5a showed interesting results being only active against Streptococcus faecalis and both tested Gram ?ve strains viz. E. coli and P. aeruginosa. In order to compare the binding mode of the most active compounds 5e and 5f along with the inactive compound 5c we docked these compounds into the empty binding site of topoisomerase II DNA gyrase (PDB ID: 1KZN), and results were compared with the bound inhibitor Clorobiocin.

The structures, assigned to these new heterocyclic products, are supported by analytical and spectral data. The synthesized compounds (6a–c/9a–c) showed appreciable antibacterial activity as compared with ciprofloxacin.
