Novel lipase-catalysed highly selective acetylation studies on D-arabino- and D-threo-polyhydroxyalkyltriazoles

Capabilities of lipases from Candida antarctica, Candida rugosa and porcine pancreas have been evaluated for regioselective acetylation of 2-phenyl-4-(D-arabino-tetrahydroxybutyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole, 2-phenyl-4-(D-arabino-O-1',2'-isopropylidene-3',4'-dihydroxybutyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole and 2-phenyl-4-(D-threo-trihydroxypropyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole, precursors for the synthesis of triazolylacyclonucleosides. C. antarctica lipase and porcine pancreatic lipase exhibited exclusive selectivity for the acetylation of primary hydroxyl group over secondary hydroxyl group(s) in all the three cases.     

Studies on epimeric D-xylo-and D-lyxo-tetritol-1-yl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles. Synthesis and anomeric configuration of 4-(alpha-and beta-D-threofuranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole C-nucleoside analogs

Treatment of 4-(D-xylo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (1) with one mole equivalent of tosyl chloride in pyridine solution, afforded the C-nucleoside analog; 4-(beta-D-threofuranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (2) in 55% yield, as well as the byproduct 4-(4-chloro-4-deoxy-D-xylo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazo le (4). Treatment of the epimeric 4-(D-lyxo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (6) with tosyl chloride in pyridine solution afforded the anomeric C-nucleoside analog; 4-(alpha-D-threofuranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (7) in 29% yield, as well as the byproduct 4-(4-chloro-4-deoxy-D-lyxo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3- triazole (9). Similar treatment of 1 and 6 with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine solution afforded 2 and 7, respectively. The structure and anomeric configuration of these compounds were determined by acetylation, NMR, NOE, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry.     

Acid-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization of 4-(D-galacto -pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole. synthesis and anomeric configuration of D-lyxo-C-nucleoside analogs

Dehydration of 4-(D-galacto-pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole with 20% methanolic sulfuric acid afforded the anomeric pairs of nucleosides, 4-(alpha-D-lyxopyranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (major component) and its beta-anomer, as well as 4-(alpha-D-lyxofuranosyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole and its beta-anomer. The four anomeric C-nucleosides were separated by chromatography, and their structure and anomeric configuration were determined by periodate oxidation, acylation, and NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry. The anomeric assignment from optical rotation was not in agreement with final structure assignment and represented a violation of the Hudson isorotation rules. NOE studies and X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed the anomeric configuration.     

Synthesis, 3D-QSAR, and docking studies of 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles as selective antagonists for beta3 over alpha1beta2gamma2 GABA receptors

A series of 16 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles with substituents at both the 4- and 5-positions of the triazole ring were synthesized, and a total of 49 compounds, including previously reported 4- or 5-monosubstituted analogues, were examined for their ability to inhibit the specific binding of [(3)H]4'-ethynyl-4-n-propylbicycloorthobenzoate (EBOB), a non-competitive antagonist, to human homo-oligomeric beta3 and hetero-oligomeric alpha1beta2gamma2 gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors. Among all tested compounds, the 4-n-propyl-5-chloromethyl analogue of 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole showed the highest level of affinity for both beta3 and alpha1beta2gamma2 receptors, with K(i) values of 659pM and 266nM, respectively. Most of the tested compounds showed selectivity for beta3 over alpha1beta2gamma2 receptors. Among all 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles, the 4-n-propyl-5-ethyl analogue exhibited the highest (>1133-fold) selectivity, followed by the 4-n-propyl-5-methyl analogue of 1-(2,6-dibromo-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole with a >671-fold selectivity. The 2,6-dichloro plus 4-trifluoromethyl substitution pattern on the benzene ring was found to be important for the high affinity for both beta3 and alpha1beta2gamma2 receptors. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) provided similar contour maps, revealing that an electronegative substituent at the 4-position of the benzene ring, a compact, hydrophobic substituent at the 4-position of the triazole ring, and a small, electronegative substituent at the 5-position of the triazole ring play significant roles for the high potency in beta3 receptors. Molecular docking studies suggested that the putative binding sites for 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole antagonists are located in the channel-lining 2'-6' region of the second transmembrane segment of beta3 and alpha1beta2gamma2 receptors. A difference in the hydrophobic environment at the 2' position might underlie the selectivity of 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles for beta3 over alpha1beta2gamma2 receptors. The compounds that had high affinity for beta3 receptors with homology to insect GABA receptors showed insecticidal activity against houseflies with LD(50) values in the pmol/fly range. The information obtained in the present study should prove helpful for the discovery of selective insect control chemicals.     

Homo-C-nucleoside analogs III. Studies on the base-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization of 4-(d-manno-pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole

Treatment of 4-(d-manno-pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole with one molar equivalent of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (TIBSCl) in pyridine solution afforded the homo-C-nucleoside analog; 4-(2,5-anhydro-d-manno-pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole in 54% yield and 4-(α-d-arabinopyranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H1,2,3-triazole analog in 3% yield. The 4-(5-O-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl)-d-manno-pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole analog was isolated as an intermediate and identified as its tetra-O-acetyl derivative. The 4-(5-chloro-5-deoxy-d-manno-pentitol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole analog was isolated as a byproduct. The structure and anomeric configuration of the products were determined by acylation, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.     

Circular dichroism as a reliable tool for anomeric assignment of glycosyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole C-nucleoside analogs. A rule for prediction of their anomeric configuration

The circular dichroism (CD) of a series of acyclic C-nucleoside analogs; 4-(pentahydroxypentyl-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles [1-5] and 4-(D-glycero-D-gulo)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole 6, are reported. A correlation between the sign of the Cotton effect at the maximal UV absorption and the absolute configuration of the carbon atom alpha- to the triazole base moiety is reported. The CD of anomeric 4-(alpha,beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)- and 4-(alpha,beta-D-arabinopyranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole C-nucleosides are reported. The assignment of the anomeric configuration of C-glycosyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles from their CD spectra was found to be a simple method that relies on comparison of the sign of the Cotton effect at the maximal UV absorption and the absolute configuration of the anomeric carbon atom. A correlation between the anomeric configuration and the sign of the Cotton effect at the maximal UV absorption is deduced and generalized as a rule for prediction of the anomeric configuration of C-glycosyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles. Nuclear Overhauser effect and 13C NMR spectra supported the CD assignment rule.

Synthesis and anti-HSV-1 activity of new 1,2,3-triazole derivatives

In this work, a new series of arysulfonylhydrazine-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized, and their ability to inhibit the in vitro replication of HSV-1 was evaluated. Among the 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, 1-[(5″-methyl-1″-(4?-fluorophenylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4″-yl)carbonyl]-2-(4'-methylphenylsulfonyl)hydrazine and 1-[(5'-methyl-1'-(2″,5″-dichlorophenylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4'-yl)carbonyl]-2-(phenylsulfonyl)hydrazine, with IC(50) values of 1.30 and 1.26 μM, respectively, displayed potent activity against HSV-1. Because these compounds have low cytotoxicity, their selectivity indices are high. Under the assay conditions, they have better performance than does the reference compound acyclovir. The structures of all of the compounds were confirmed by one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques ((1)H, (13)C-APT, COSY-(1)H×(1)H and HETCOR (1)J(CH)) and by elemental analysis.

Synthesis of variously coupled conjugates of D-glucose, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, and 1,2,3-triazole for inhibition of glycogen phosphorylase

5-(O-Perbenzoylated-β-D-glucopyranosyl)tetrazole was obtained from O-perbenzoylated-β-D-glucopyranosyl cyanide by Bu(3)SnN(3) or Me(3)SiN(3)-Bu(2)SnO. This tetrazole was transformed into 5-ethynyl- as well as 5-chloromethyl-2-(O-perbenzoylated-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles by acylation with propiolic acid-DCC or chloroacetyl chloride, respectively. The chloromethyl oxadiazole gave the corresponding azidomethyl derivative on treatment with NaN(3). These compounds were reacted with several alkynes and azides under Cu(I) catalysed cycloaddition conditions to give, after removal of the protecting groups by the Zemplén protocol, β-D-glucopyranosyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl-1,2,3-triazole, β-D-glucopyranosyl-1,2,3-triazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole, and β-D-glucopyranosyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolylmethyl-1,2,3-triazole type compounds. 5-Phenyltetrazole was also transformed under the above conditions into a series of aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl-1,2,3-triazoles, aryl-1,2,3-triazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazolylmethyl-1,2,3-triazoles. The new compounds were assayed against rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b and the best inhibitors had inhibition constants in the upper micromolar range (2-phenyl-5-[1-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole 36: K(i)=854μM, 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-5-[1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole 47: K(i)=745μM).     

Simple and stereoselective preparation of an 4-(aminomethyl)-1,2,3-triazolyl nucleoside phosphoramidite

A simple and stereoselective synthesis of a protected 4-(aminomethyl)-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazole cyanoethyl phosphoramidite was developed for the modification of synthetic oligonucleotides. The configuration of the 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety with respect to the deoxyribose was unambiguously determined in ROESY experiments. The aminomethyl group of the triazolyl nucleotide was fully functional in labelling reactions. Furthermore, the hybridization behavior of 5' triazole-terminated oligonucleotide was similar to that of 5' aminohexyl-terminated oligomer with the same sequence. Internal modifications of the oligonucleotide strands resulted in significant decrease of duplex stability.

Synthesis of pyrimidin-4-one-1,2,3-triazole conjugates as glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitors with anti-depressant activity

GSK-3 specific inhibitors are promising candidates for the treatment of devastating pathologies such as diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. We have synthesized a library of pyrimidin-4-one-1,2,3-triazole conjugates using click-chemistry approach and evaluated them as glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitors. Compounds 3g, 3j, 3n and 3r were found to be most potent among the eighteen pyrimidin-4-one-1,2,3-triazole conjugates synthesized and they were further evaluated for their in vivo anti-depressant activity. Compound 3n (2-((1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methylthio)-3-methyl-6-phenylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one) exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against GSK-3β with IC₅₀ value of 82 nM and was also found to exhibit significant antidepressant activity at 50 mg/kg, when compared with fluoxetine, a known antidepressant drug. The molecular docking studies were performed to elucidate the binding modes of the compounds with the GSK-3β target and two crucial interactions namely, hydrogen bond formation with Val 135 and Lys 183 residues in the active site of GSK-3β were observed.

Reaction between 1-3 and [NEt₄]₂[Re(CO)₃Br₃] yields the [1-benzyl-4-(5-bipyridyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole]Re(CO)₃Br complexes 4-6. The Re(CO)₃Br complexes of 5- and 6-ethynylbipyridine complexes (7-8) are prepared in a similar fashion. Cycloaddition reactions between 7 and benzyl azide yields mixtures of 4 and unreacted starting material.     

Design, synthesis and pharmacological profile of novel dopamine D2 receptor ligands

The present study describes the synthesis and pharmacological profile of three novel heterocyclic compounds originally designed, on the basis of bioisosterism, as dopamine D2 receptor ligands: 1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-ylmethyl]-4-phenyl-piperazine (LASSBio-579), 1-phenyl-4-(1-phenyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl)-piperazine (LASSBio-580) and 1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-4-phenyl-piperazine (LASSBio-581). Binding studies performed on brain homogenate indicated that all three compounds bind selectively to D2 receptors. In addition, electrophysiological studies carried out in cultured hippocampal neurons suggested that LASSBio-579 and 581 act as D2 agonists, whereas LASSBio-580 acts as a D2 antagonist.
