The synthesis of arginine derivatives of chromone and azauracil

The coupling of N-succinimide esters of 3-[7-hydroxy-3-(4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-6-ethyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl]propanoic acid and 5-carboxymethyl-6-azauracil with free arginine yielded the corresponding arginine derivatives, which were purified by crystallization. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy     

Synthesis of non-glycosidic 4,6'-thioether-linked disaccharides as hydrolytically stable glycomimetics

Michael addition of 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-6-thio-alpha-D-galactose (2) to 2-propyl 6-O-acetyl-3,4-dideoxy-alpha-D-glycero-hex-3-enopyranosid-2-ulose (1) afforded, as the major diastereoisomer, 2-propyl 6-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-4-S-(6-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranos-6-yl)-4-thio-alpha-D-threo-hexopyranosid-2-ulose (3, 91% yield). Reduction of the carbonyl group of 3, followed by O-deacetylation gave the two epimers 7 (alpha-D-lyxo) and 8 (alpha-D-xylo) in a 1:2 ratio. On removal of the protecting groups of 8 by acid hydrolysis, formation of an 1,6-anhydro bridge was observed in the 3-deoxy-4-thiohexopyranose unit (10). The free non-glycosidic thioether-linked disaccharide 3-deoxy-4-S-(6-deoxy-alpha,beta-D-galactopyranos-6-yl)-4-thio-alpha,beta-D-xylo-hexopyranose (11) was obtained by acetolysis of 10 followed by O-deacetylation. A similar sequence starting from the enone 1 and methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-6-thio-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (12) led successfully to 2-propyl 3-deoxy-4-S-(methyl 6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranos-6-yl)-4-thio-alpha-D-lyxo-hexopyranoside (17) and its alpha-D-xylo analog (19, major product). In this synthetic route, orthogonal sets of protecting groups were employed to preserve the configuration of both reducing ends and to avoid the formation of the 1,6-anhydro ring.     

Synthesis and in vitro biological activity of new 4,6-disubstituted 3(2H)-pyridazinone-acetohydrazide derivatives

New 3(2H)-pyridazinone derivatives containing a N'-benzyliden-acetohydrazide moiety at position 2 were synthesized. The structures of these newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, and MS data. These compounds were tested for their antibacterial, antifungal, antimycobacterial, and cytotoxic activities. The compounds 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(morpholin-4-yl)-3-oxo-(2H)-pyridazin-2-yl]-N'-(4-tert-butylbenzyliden)acetohydrazide and 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(morpholin-4-yl)-3-oxo-(2H)-pyridazin-2-yl]-N'-(4-chlorobenzyliden) acetohydrazide exhibited activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Most of the compounds were active against E. coli ATCC 35218. The preliminary results of this study revealed that some target compounds exhibited promising antimicrobial activities.     

An allosteric inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 3

PRMT3, a protein arginine methyltransferase, has been shown to influence ribosomal biosynthesis by catalyzing the dimethylation of the 40S ribosomal protein S2. Although PRMT3 has been reported to be a cytosolic protein, it has been shown to methylate histone H4 peptide (H4 1-24) in?vitro. Here, we?report the identification of a PRMT3 inhibitor (1-(benzo[d][1,2,3]thiadiazol-6-yl)-3-(2-cyclohexenylethyl)urea; compound 1) with IC(50) value of 2.5?μM by screening a library of 16,000 compounds using H4 (1-24) peptide as a substrate. The crystal structure of PRMT3 in complex with compound 1 as well as kinetic analysis reveals an allosteric mechanism of inhibition. Mutating PRMT3 residues within the allosteric site or using compound 1 analogs that disrupt interactions with allosteric site residues both abrogated binding and inhibitory activity. These data demonstrate an allosteric mechanism for inhibition of protein arginine methyltransferases, an emerging class of therapeutic targets.     

An efficient route to novel 4,5-di- and 2,4,5-tri substituted imidazoles from imidazo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (5,8-diaza-7,9-dideazapurine) derivatives

Two new types of imidazole derivatives: N-(2-R1-5-R2-1H-imidazol-4-yl) thioureas 7a-g and N-(2-R1-5-R2-1H-imidazol-4-yl) formamides 8b,c,g were obtained in high yields by the hydrolytic degradation of 6-R1-8-R2-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-4(1H)-ones 5a-g and 6-R1-8-R2-imidazo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-4(3H)-ones 6b,c,d, respectively. The tautomeric preferences of the new imidazoles were determined.     

Dual 5-HT1A agonists and 5-HT re-uptake inhibitors by combination of indole-butyl-amine and chromenonyl-piperazine structural elements in a single molecular entity

The dual serotonin (5-HT) re-uptake inhibitor and 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist vilazodone was found to increase central serotonin levels in rat brain. In the course of structural modifications of vilazodone 3-[4-[4-(2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl)-1-piperazinyl]-butyl]-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile 8i and its fluorine analogue 6-[4-[4-(5-fluor-3-indolyl)-butyl]-1-piperazinyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one have been identified. These unsubstituted chromenones are equally potent at the 5-HT(1A) receptor and 5-HT transporter. The implementation of nitrogen functionalities in position 3 of the chromenones resulted in compounds acting as agonists at the 5-HT(1A) receptor and as 5-HT re-uptake inhibitors like vilazodone. Ex vivo 5-HT re-uptake inhibition and in vitro 5-HT agonism were determined in the PCA- and GTPgammaS-assay, respectively. The potential of these chromenones to increase central 5-HT levels was measured in microdialysis studies and especially the derivatives 3-[4-[4-(3-amino-2-oxo-2H-chromen-6-yl)-piperazin-1-yl]-butyl]-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile 8f, ethyl (6-[4-[4-(5-cyano-1H-indol-3-yl)-butyl]-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-carbamate 8h and N-(6-[4-[4-(5-cyano-1H-indol-3-yl)-butyl]-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-acetamide 8k give rise to rapid development of increased serotonin levels in rat brain cortex, lasting longer than 3h.

Their structures were established by spectroscopic means and by comparison with the literature values. Compounds 2, 4, and 9 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against SPC-A-1, SW-480, and SMMC-7721 human cancer cells.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of 4'-azaflavones and their N-alkyl derivatives with biological activities

4'-Azaflavone (=2-(pyridin-4-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one; 4) and 3-[(pyridin-4-yl)methyl]-4'-azaflavone (5) were synthesized by a simple environmentally friendly microwave-assisted one-pot method through the cyclization of 3-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one (1), (E)-2'-hydroxy-4-azachalcone (2; chalcone=1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one), and 2'-hydroxy-2-[(hydroxy)(pyridin-4-yl)methyl]-4'-azachalcone (3) under solventless conditions using silica-supported NaHSO(4), followed by treatment with base. In addition, N-alkyl-substituted 4'-azaflavonium bromides 6 and 7 were prepared from compounds 4 and 5, respectively. The antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of compounds 1-7 were tested. The N-alkyl-substituted 4'-azaflavonium bromides 6 and 7 showed high antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria and the fungus tested, with MIC values close to those of reference antimicrobials ampicilline and fluconazole. The alkylated compounds 6 and 7 also showed a good antioxidant character in the two antioxidant methods, DPPH (=1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) tests.     

Microbial and xanthine dehydrogenase inhibitory activity of some flavones

Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) is responsible for the pathological condition called Gout. In the present study different flavones synthesized from chalcone were evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity. Inhibitory activity of flavones on XDH was determined in terms of inhibition of uric acid synthesis from Xanthine. The enzymatic activity was found maximum at pH 7.5 and temperature 40 degrees C. The flavones 6-chloro-2-[3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl]-chromen-4-one (F(1)) and 6-chloro-7methyl-2-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl]-chromen-4-one(F(2)),were noncompetitive and competitive inhibitor with Ki values 1.1 and 0.22 respectively. The flavones (F(1)), (F(2)), 6-chloro-2-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl]-chromen-4-one(F(3)), 8-bromo-6-chloro-2-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl]-chromen-4-one (F(4)), 2-[3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl]-chromen-4-one (F(5)) and 6-methyl-2-[3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-1-H-pyrazol-4-yl]-chromen-4-one (F(6)) were also screened for their antimicrobial activity, measured in terms of zone of inhibition. A broad spectrum antifungal activity was obtained against Trichoderma viridae, Candida albicans, Microsporum cannis, Penicillium chrysogenum and Fusarium moniliformae. In case of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavous only spore formation was affected, while antibacterial activity was observed against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Serratia marsecens only. The flavones were further analyzed for quantitative structural activity relationship study (QSAR) by using PASS, online software to determine their Pa value. Toxicity and drug relevant properties were revealed by PALLAS software in terms of their molecular weight. Log P values were also studied. The result showed both the F(1) and F(2) flavones as antigout and therefore supports the development of novel drugs for the treatment of gout.

Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of amide-containing flavone and isoflavone derivatives

Certain amide-containing flavone and isoflavone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities. These compounds were synthesized via alkylation of hydroxyl precursors followed by the reaction with H(2)SO(4) and NaN(3) (Schmidt reaction). The preliminary assays indicated that the inhibitory activity against the growth of NCI-H661 decreased in an order of linked chromophore flavone-6-yl 16a-d>flavone-7-yl 17a-d>flavone-3-yl 15a-d and isoflavone-7-yl 18a-d. Among these flavone-6-yl derivatives, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-6-yloxy)acetamide (16c) was the most potent with a GI(50) value of 0.84 microM. The inhibitory activity against the growth of NPC-TW01 decreased in an order of linked chromophore flavone-6-yl 16a-d>isoflavone-7-yl 18a-d>flavone-7-yl 17a-d>flavone-3-yl 15a-d. Flavone-6-yl derivatives 16a-d demonstrated significant inhibitory activities against the growth of NPC-TW01 cell with an average GI(50) value of 0.84 microM. The oxime derivatives 1 and 2 caused accumulation of NPC-TW01 cell in G(2)/M phase which were distinct from that of their amide isomers 16b and 16c, respectively, which induced cell-cycle arrest in G(0)/G(1) phase followed by apoptosis. Therefore, the antiproliferative mechanism of flavone derivatives was affected not only by the phenyl benzopyran-4-one pharmacophore but also by the peripheral substituents.     

(3R)-3-amino-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-N-{4-[6-(2-methoxyethoxy)benzothiazol-2-yl]tetrahydropyran-4-yl}butanamide as a potent dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Novel series of 3-amino-N-(4-aryl-1,1-dioxothian-4-yl)butanamides and 3-amino-N-(4-aryltetrahydropyran-4-yl)butanamides were synthesized and evaluated as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors. Derivatives incorporating the 6-substituted benzothiazole group showed highly potent DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Oral administration of (3R)-3-amino-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-N-{4-[6-(2-methoxyethoxy)benzothiazol-2-yl]tetrahydropyran-4-yl}butanamide (12u) reduced blood glucose excursion in an oral glucose tolerance test.     

Synthesis of new iso-C-nucleoside analogues from 2-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)ethanal

Treatment of 2-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)ethanal with malononitrile, cyanoacetamide and 2-cyano-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide, respectively, in the presence of aluminium oxide yielded 2-cyano-4-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)crotonic acid derivatives. Cyclization with sulfur and triethylamine was performed to synthesize the 2-amino-5-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)thiophene-3-carbonic acid derivatives, which were treated with triethyl orthoformate/ammonia and triethyl orthoformate, respectively, to furnish 6-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)thieno[2.3-d]pyrimidine derivatives. Deprotection in two steps afforded 2-amino-5-(1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-beta-D-altropyranos-3-yl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile and 6-(1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-beta-D-altropyranos-3-yl)thieno[2.3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, respectively.     

Mefloquine-oxazolidine derivatives, derived from mefloquine and arenecarbaldehydes: In vitro activity including against the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis strain T113

Ten new mefloquine-oxazolidine derivatives, 4-[(1S,8aR)-3-(aryl)hexahydro[1,3]oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridin-1-yl]-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (1: aryl=substituted phenyl) and 4-[(1S,8aR)-3-(heteroaryl)hexahydro[1,3]oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridin-1-yl]-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline [2: heteroaryl=5-nitrothien-2-yl (2a); 5-nitrofuran-2-yl (2b) and 4H-imidazol-2-yl) (2c)], have been synthesized and evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Compounds 1f (aryl=3-ethoxyphenyl), 1g (Ar=3,4,5-(MeO)(3)-C(6)H(2)) and 2c were slightly more active than mefloquine (MIC=33μM) with MICs=24.5, 22.5 and 27.4, respectively, whereas compounds 1e (aryl=3,4-(MeO)(2)-C(6)H(3)) and 2a (MICs=11.9 and 12.1μM, respectively) were ca. 2.7 times more active than mefloquine, with a better tuberculostatic activity than the first line tuberculostatic agent ethambutol (MIC=15.9). The compounds were also assayed against the MDR strain T113 and the same MICs were observed. Thus the new derivatives have advantages over such anti-TB drugs as isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and ofloxacin, for which this strain is resistant. The most active compounds were not cytotoxic to Murine Macrophages Cells in a concentration near their MIC values.     

Syntheses and biological activities of pyranyl-substituted cinnamates

Twenty-two kinds of pyranyl-substituted cinnamates were synthesized by the reaction of 4-hydroxy-6-(2-phenylethyl)-2H-pyran-2-one or 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (HMP) with a variety of substituted cinnamic acids, and their antifungal and plant growth inhibitory activities were investigated. Among the compounds prepared, 6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-4-yl 3-(4-isopropylphenyl)propenoate (H5) showed the strongest antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium dellfinii, and 6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-4-yl 3-(2-methylphenyl)propenoate (H2) had the highest plant growth inhibitory activity toward Brassica rapa.     

Cytotoxic steroidal saponins from Polygonatum punctatum

Four new steroidal saponins, polypunctosides A-D (1-4, resp.), were isolated from the rhizomes of Polygonatum punctatum, together with five known steroidal saponins. On the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, the structures of the new saponins were established as (3beta,23S,25R)-23-(alpha-L-arabinopyranosyloxy)spirost-5-en-3-yl 4-O-(6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranoside (1), (3beta,23S,25R)-23-[(2-O-acetyl-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]spirost-5-en-3-yl 4-O-(6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranoside (2), (3beta,23S,25R)-23-[(3-O-acetyl-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]spirost-5-en-3-yl 4-O-(6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranoside (3), and (3beta,23S,25R)-23-[(4-O-acetyl-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]spirost-5-en-3-yl 4-O-(6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranoside (4). The cytotoxic activity of the isolated saponins was evaluated towards HeLa cells.     

New chemical constituents from the endophyte Streptomyces species LR4612 cultivated on Maytenus hookeri

From solid cultures of the biologically important endophyte Streptomyces species LR4612, cultivated on Maytenus hookeri, four new and two known compounds were isolated. The new compounds were identified as (2S*,3S*)-5-amino-3-hydroxy-5-oxopentan-2-yl 3-(formylamino)-2-hydroxybenzoate (1), N-[(3R*,4R*)-3-amino-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-2H,6H-1,5-benzodioxocin-10-yl]formamide (2), (5beta,6alpha)-6,11-dihydroxyeudesmane (3), and 5-(6,7-dihydroxy-6-methyloctyl)furan-2(5H)-one (4); the known compounds were elucidated as sorbicillin (5) and N-acetyltyramine (6). The structures were established by HR-ESI-MS and in-depth NMR analyses.     

Novel synthesis of seco type of acyclo C-nucleosides of 1,2,4-triazole and 1,2,4-triazol

The seco C-nucleosides 3-(1,2,3,4,5-penta-O-acetyl-D-gluco- and D-galacto-pentitol-1-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles (8 and 9) were obtained in a one pot by deamination and dethiolation of 4-amino-3-(D-gluco- and D-galacto-pentitol-1-yl)-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles (1 and 2), respectively, using sodium nitrite in orthophosphoric acid and subsequent acetylation. Condensation of 1, 2, and 4-amino-3-(D-glycero-D-gulo-hexitol-1-yl)-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (12) with phenacylbromide (11) afforded the corresponding 3-(D-gluco-, D-galactopentitol-1-yl) and 3-(D-glycero-D-gulo-hexitol-1-yl)-6-phenyl-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4] thiadiazines (15, 16, and 17). Acetylation of 15-17 gave the penta- and hexa-O-acetyl derivatives 18-20, respectively. The structures were confirmed by using 1H, 13C, and 2D NMR spectra, DQFCOSY, HMQC, and HMBC experiments. The favored conformational structures were deduced from the vicinal coupling constants of the protons.     

Synthesis of some novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives as potential antimicrobial agents

The reaction of 4-hydrazino-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (2) with ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate afforded ethyl 5-amino-1-[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (3) and that with ethoxymethylenemalononitrile afforded 5-amino-1-[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (5). Compounds 3 and 5 were hydrolyzed to get 5-amino-1-[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid and then reacted with acetic anhydride to afford 6-methyl-1-[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]pyrazolo[3,4-d]oxazin-4-one (6), which was condensed with different aromatic amines to give a series of 5-substituted 6-methyl-1-[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones (7). Compounds 3 and 5 also reacted with formamide, urea, and thiourea affording the corresponding pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (8-13), respectively. Structures of the products have been determined by chemical reactions and spectral studies. All compounds of the series have been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity studies. The results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.
