Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of 1,2,4-triazole 3-benzylsulfanyl derivatives

Series of 3-benzylsulfanyl derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole and 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole were synthesized by alkylation of starting triazole-3-thiol with appropriately substituted benzyl halide. All members of the set were evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, and two strains of M. kansasii. The activities were expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration. The compounds exhibited only a moderate or slight antimycobacterial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentrations fall into a range of 32->1000 micromol/l. The most active substances bear two nitro groups or a thioamide group on the benzyl moiety. As regards the cytotoxicity effect, the evaluated compounds can be considered as moderately toxic.     

Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of carbamate derivatives of 1,2-oxazine

Aseries of carbamate derivatives of 1,2-oxazine was obtained by means of [2 + 4]-cycloaddition of 1,3-dienes to C-nitroso-alkyl-N-arylcarbamates. The antimycobacterial activity of the synthesized compounds with respect to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium lufu species was studied in vitro in comparison to isoniazid and dapsone. The activity of the newly synthesized compounds significantly depends on the nature and position of substituents in the oxazine nucleus and weakly depends on the nature of substituents in the carbamate moiety. Among the compounds tested, the maximum antimycobacterial activity was observed for 4,5-dimethyl-2-(p-methoxycarbonylamino)phenyl-3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxazine. __________ Translated from Khimiko-Farmatsevticheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 40, No. 7, pp. 32–34, July, 2006.

Studies on pyrazine derivatives. XLVII. Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel pyrazine derivatives with amidoxime moiety

The new pyrazine derivatives exhibiting an antibacterial activity have been synthesized. Initial amidoxime 1 was obtained in the reaction of pyrazinecarbonitrile with hydroxylamine. Upon treatment of amidoxime with methyl iodide O-methyl derivative 2 was formed. Both amidoximes were transformed into imidoyl chlorides 3, 4. Then the chloride atom in those derivatives was substituted with various secondary amines giving appropriate oximes 5-18 and O-methyl-oximes 19 and 20. The obtained compounds were tested in vitro for their tuberculostatic activity. The inhibiting concentration (MIC) values were within 25-100 microg/mL. Their activity towards 25 strains of anaerobic and 25 strains of aerobic bacteria was also studied. Three compounds exhibited activity against both types of bacteria.     

Studies on pyrazine derivatives--XXXIV. Synthesis and tuberculostatic activity of alpha-oxo ketene dithioacetals pyrazine derivatives

The alpha-oxo ketene dithioacetalic derivatives (2a-e) were obtained by the reaction of 2-acetylpyrazine (1) with CS2 and appropriate mono- or dihalogeno-compound. An action of the primary amines and diamines upon 3,3-di(methylsulphanyl)-1-(2-pyrazinyl)-2-propen-1-one (2a) yielded 3-(alkylamino)-3-(methylsulphanyl)-1-(2-pyrazinyl)-2-propen-1-on e (3a-g), 1-(2-pyrazinyl)-2-tetrahydro-1H-2-imidazolyliden-1-ethanone (3h) and the 2-hexahydro-2-pyrimidinyliden-1-(2-pyrazinyl)-1-ethanone derivatives (3i-j), respectively. Tuberculostatic activity of the studied compounds was found to be low except the compound 2b (MIC 192-62 micrograms/cm3; MIC 210-31 micrograms/cm3).

Synthesis and in-vitro antimycobacterial activity of fluoroquinolone derivatives containing a coumarin moiety

A series of gatifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and 8-OCH(3) ciprofloxacin coumarin derivatives with remarkable improvement in lipophilicity as compared to the parent fluoroquinolones was designed, synthesized, and characterized by (1) H-NMR, MS, and HRMS. These derivatives were evaluated for their in-vitro activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis CMCC 93202 and MTB H37Rv ATCC 27294. All of the synthesized compounds were less active than the parent compounds against M. smegmatis CMCC 93202, but the activity of compound 6 was found to be 2-8-fold more potent than ciprofloxacin, 8-OCH(3) ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and rifampin, and comparable to gatifloxacin against MTB H37Rv ATCC 27294. These results indicated that the lipophilicity of the tested compounds is not the sole parameter affecting antimycobacterial activity.

Furthermore, compounds III and XVIII revealed their cytotoxic activity (SI < 1). Other structures varied greatly in their anti M. tuberculosis activity, however, several trends in their structure in relation to their antituberculous activity have been observed.     

Studies on pyrazine derivatives. XXVI. Synthesis and tuberculostatic activity of N-pyrazinylthiourea

2-Amino-3-chloropyrazine and 2-amino-6-chloropyrazine were reacted with appropriate sodium alkoxides to give 2-aminopyrazine derivatives with the methoxy, benzyloxy, chlorobenzyloxy, dichlorobenzyloxy, bromobenzyloxy or dibromobenzyloxy group at positions 3 and 6 (I-XIV). The obtained compounds were converted into N-pyrazinyl-N'-benzoylthioureas (XV-XXXI) by reacting with benzoyl isothiocyanate. Their hydrolysis yielded N-pyrazinylthioureas XXXII-XLVII. Analogical reactions of alkoxyaminopyrazines with p-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate or 2,6-dichlorophenyl isothiocyanate afforded corresponding N-pyrazinyl-N'-(p-chlorophenyl)thioureas and N-pyrazinyl-N'- (2,6-dichlorophenyl)thioureas (XLVIII-LVIII). The obtained compounds were found to display tuberculostatic in vitro activity with MIC values from 8 meg/cm3 to 1000 mu meg/cm3.     

Synthesis and muscarinic activity of quinuclidinyl- and (1-azanorbornyl)pyrazine derivatives.

The synthesis and cortical muscarinic activity of a novel series of pyrazine-based agonists is described. Quinuclidine and azanorbornane derivatives were prepared either by reaction of lithiated pyrazines with azabicyclic ketones, followed by chlorination and reduction, or by reaction of the lithium enolate of the azabicyclic ester with 2-chloropyrazines followed by ester hydrolysis and decarboxylation. Substitution at all three positions of the heteroaromatic ring has been explored. Optimal muscarinic agonist activity was observed for unsubstituted pyrazines in the azanorbornane series. The exo-1-azanorbornane 18a is one of the most efficacious and potent centrally active muscarinic agonists known. Studies on the 3-substituted derivatives have provided evidence of the preferred conformation of these ligands for optimal muscarinic activity. Substitution at C6 gave ligands with increased affinity and reduced efficacy. Moving the position of the diazine ring nitrogens to give pyrimidine and pyridazine derivatives resulted in a significant loss of muscarinic activity.
