Some derivatives of thiazolo[3,2-c]pyrimidine, pyrimido[6,1-b][1,3]thiazine, thiazolo[2,3-i]purine, [1,3]thiazino[2,3-i]purine, thiazolo[3,2-c][1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-e]pyrimidine and [1,2,3]triazolo[4',5':4,5]pyrimido[6,1-b][1,3]thiazine were prepared. The compounds were tested for antimicrobial and antimycotic activity on a number of strains, namely, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, P. mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Sarcina lutea, Candida albicans, Aspergillus sp., and for antiviral activity on Herpes simplex virus, Type 1 (HSV-1), Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and Coxsackievirus B5 (CoxB5). The compounds proved to be devoid of activity against viruses, mycetes and gram-negative bacteria, while some of them exhibited a modest activity against gram-positive bacterial strains.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of some pyrimidine, pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine and thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives

4,6-Diamino-1H-pyrimidine-2-thione (1) was used for the preparation of pyrimidine derivatives 2-5. Compound 5 was cyclized to produce pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine derivative 6 which was condensed with p-chlorobenzaldehyde to give compound 7. The latter compound was reacted with hydroxylamine to give isoxazolo[4,5-d]thiazino[2,3-a]pyrimidine 8. Compound 8b was treated with 2-chloroethyl methyl ether to afford compound 9. Similarly, compound 3 reacted with chloroacetic acid to give thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine 10, which was condensed with p-chlorobenzaldehyde to give compound 11. Compound 11 was condensed with hydroxylamine to give isoxazolo[4,5-d]thiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine 12. Compound 12b was treated with 2-chloroethyl methyl ether to afford compound 13. Biological evaluation of some prepared products showed that many of them revealed promising antimicrobial activity.     

2-Benzazepines. 4. [1,2,3]Triazolo[4,5-d][2]benzazepines and dibenzo[c,f][1,2,3]triazolo[3,4-a]azepines: synthesis and evaluation as central nervous system agents

The facile synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo((4,5-d][2]benzazepines and dibenzo[c,f][1,2,3]triazolo[3,4-a]azepines by the addition of sodium azide to acetylenic benzophenones is described. Examination of the pharmacological data indicates that selected triazolobenzazepines are as potent as diazepam in the anti-pentylenetetrazole test and are weaker in the inclined screen and rotarod tests, suggesting that these compounds have antianxiety properties similar to diazepam with fewer deficits in motor coordination. In addition, a possible diazepam antagonist was found in the triazolo-benzazepine series. The dibenzotriazoloazepines were found to be inactive in four standard CNS screening procedures.     

New 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimidine derivatives as diuretics

New 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimidines 1 and 6,10-dihydro-5H-pyrido[3',2':5,6]pyrimido[2,1-c] [1,2,4]triazines 4 with 5-one, 5-thione or 5-hydrazono substituents and in some cases 1,2,3,4 or 8,9 hydrogenated are synthetized. The diuretic, natriuretic and kaliuretic activities of these compounds in Wistar rats at a dose of 24 mg/kg were estimated. A series of 24 possible derivatives of 1 and 4 possessing diuretic and saliuretic activities are investigated for structure-activity relationships in light of Fujita-Ban model. The Fujita-Ban group contributions have been calculated for different structural variations on the parent ring 1a. It is observed that the hydrogenation of pyridine, [1,3]thiazole or [1,2,4]triazine rings on 1 or 4 decrease the diuretic and saliuretic activities.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of thiazolo-, oxazolo-, and imidazolo[3,2-a][1,8]naphthyridinecarboxylic acids

It is known that thiazolo[3,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives (3a) exhibit good antibacterial activity. Accordingly, several analogues of 3a, viz. oxazolo- and imidazolo[3,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives 3b and 3c, were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity in vitro and for inhibitory activity against DNA gyrase of Escherichia coli K-12 C600. Compound 3a exhibited antibacterial activity comparable to that of ofloxacin and enoxacin against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and displayed antibacterial activity superior to that of 3b and 3c. The antibacterial activities of 3b and 3c decreased in that order. DNA gyrase inhibitory activities of 3a-c in E. coli K-12 C600 paralleled their in vitro antibacterial activity. It was found that enhancement of the DNA gyrase inhibitory activity of 3a was dependent on a certain feature of the sulfur atom of the thiazole ring.     

Synthesis and antiallergy activity of 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines and 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidines

Synthesis and antiallergy activity of 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines (2 and 3) and 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidines (4 and 5) are described. The activity, shown by these compounds in the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) test, is compared to the PCA data previously reported for a series of 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. 10-Oxo-N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyri midine (2b), 10-oxo-7-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]py rimidine (4e), and 3,10-dihydro-10-oxo-7-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3, 4-d] pyrimidine (7e) gave a 100% inhibition in the rat PCA test at a dose of 5 mg/kg. The activity displayed by these compounds is comparable to that of the most active compounds in the 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine series.     

Thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives as calcium antagonists.

Some new thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared refluxing 2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives with phenacyl bromide in glacial acetic acid. Calcium antagonistic activities of these compounds were evaluated in K(+)-depolarized rat aorta, using nifedipine as reference compound.     

Design and synthesis of 4-substituted indolo[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives with antitumor activity

New derivatives of the indolo[3,2- e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5- a]pyrimidine system, substituted in the 4 position, were designed as novel antitumor agents because of their theoretical capability to form stable complexes with DNA fragments. The calculated free energies of binding were found in the range -12.76 --> -39.68 Kcal/mol. The docking studies revealed a common binding mode with the chromophore intercalated between GC base pairs, whereas the side chain lies along the minor groove. Compounds, selected on the basis of the docking studies and suitably synthesized, showed antiproliferative activity against each type of tumor cell line investigated, generally in the low micromolar range. The more active derivatives were shown to be 1eJ and 1eL, endowed with significant antiproliferative activity against the renal and CNS subpanels, respectively. A mechanism of action closely related to the DNA-interacting drugs can be supposed, although, alternative mechanisms, similar to those of the anthracyclines, can also operate.     

Synthesis of novel thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-b]pyridine and thiazolo[3,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives and their effect on the production of mycotoxins.

The thiophene derivative 1 reacts with the active methylene reagents 2a-c to afford the thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives 6a,b and 8, respectively. 1 reacts with phenacyl bromide 2d to afford the N-alkylation product 9 and reacts with phenacyl thiocyanate 2e to afford the N-(thiazol-2-yl) derivative 10, which was further cyclized into thiazolo[3,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative 12. Compound 1 reacts also with the cinnamonitriles 3a,b to afford the thieno[2,3-b]pyridines 15a,b, respectively. 1 undergoes either acetylation or hydrolysis to afford the thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivative 19 and the thiophene derivative 22, respectively. Some of the new compounds show inhibitory effect to the production of mycotoxins and to fungal growth.     

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of CNS activities of [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b][1,5]-, imidazolo[4,5-b][1,5]-, and pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepines. 10-Piperazinyl-4H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b][1,5]benzodiazepines with neuroleptic activity

The synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b][1,5]-, imidazolo[4,5-b][1,5]-, and pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepines is described. The antidopaminergic and anticholinergic activities of the compounds have been examined by the respective in vitro [3H]spiperone and [3H]QNB receptor binding assay. The neuroleptic potential has been further evaluated in terms of their ability to produce hypothermia and catalepsy in mice and a conditioned avoidance response in rats. Only compounds from the triazolobenzodiazepine series show antipsychotic potential. The lack of activity in the imidazolo- and pyridobenzodiazepine series indicates that the basicity of the heteroarene moiety may be determinant for activity.     

Synthesis and biological activity of condensed derivatives of thieno[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]thiazolo(thiazino,thiazepino)[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines

Methods for the synthesis of new heterosystems including condensed pyrano[4′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-b]-thieno[3,2-d]thiazolo(thiazino, thiazepino)[3,2-a]pyrimidines, thiazolo(thiazino, thiazepino)[3″,2″:1′,2′]pyrimido[4′,5′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]isoquinolines, and cyclopenta[4′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-b]thieno[3,2-d]thiazolo(thiazino)[3,2-a]pyrimidines are developed. The synthesis is carried out on the basis of 1-amino-2-ethoxycarbonylpyrano[4,3-d]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines and -thieno[2,3-b]isoquinolines. Antitumor and anticonvulsant properties of the synthesized products have been evaluated. Compounds possessing low toxicity and moderate biological activity are found.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of newer thiazolo [3,2-a] pyrimidines for anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activity

A new series of thiazolo [3,2-a] pyrimidine derivatives was designed and synthesized using 4-fluoroaniline and ethylacetoacetate as starting material. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by the rat paw edema method and antinociceptive activity was evaluated by thermal stimulus technique. The compounds 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorobenzylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid (4-fluorophenyl)amide (3l) and 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid (4-fluorophenyl)amide (3q) were found to possess significant anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. These compounds also showed lower ulcerogenic activity and higher ALD₅₀ values. Compounds with an aryl ring substituted with a smaller electron withdrawing group at the fourth position displayed better activity than the other derivatives.

Antifungal tests were also performed.     

Synthesis and antioxidant properties of 3-methyl-substituted thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole

3-Aminomethyl-substituted thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazoles were synthesized by reacting 3-(chloromethyl) thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole with primary and secondary amines. The resulting 3-amino-derivatives of thiazolobenzimidazole were tested in vitro for antioxidant properties in relation to the autooxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome. All the compounds studied inhibited, to different extents, the oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome, thus preventing formation of the superoxide radical. __________ Translated from Khimiko-Farmatsevticheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 41, No. 6, pp. 20–21, June, 2007.     

5-amino-2-phenyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazin-1-one: a versatile scaffold to obtain potent and selective A3 adenosine receptor antagonists

Binding assays on human A1, A2A, and A3 adenosine receptors (ARs) and functional studies on A2B ARs revealed that various 2-phenyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazin-1,5(6H)-diones VIII, previously reported as ligands at the central benzodiazepine receptor (BzR), possess nanomolar affinity at the A3 AR. Replacement of the amide of VIII with an amidine moiety gave the 5-amino-2-phenyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazin-1-ones IX, which maintain a nanomolar potency at the A3 AR with selectivity over the BzR. Insertion of a p-methoxybenzoyl at the 5-amino moiety enhanced A3 AR affinity and selectivity over the A1, A2A, and A2B ARs. The best result of our lead optimization efforts is 9-chloro-5-(4-methoxybenzoyl)amino-2-phenyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazin-1-one (23), which displayed a Ki of 1.6 nM at the A3 AR and no significant affinity at the other ARs or the BzR. Docking simulations on selected ligands into a model of the A3 AR allowed us to rationalize the structure-activity relationships of phenyltriazolobenzotriazindiones VIII and aminophenyltriazolobenzotriazinones IX at the molecular level.     

Synthesis and antifungal activity of novel pyrano[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines, pyrido[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines and pyrazolo[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines

The starting materials thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines (5a,b) were obtained in one pot synthesis by treating octahydroquinazoline (2) with chloroacetic acid and aromatic aldehydes. Thiazoloquinazoline (5) was reacted with CH2(CN)2/piperidine and CH2(CN)2/NaOH (CH3OH), to furnish pyrano[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines (6a,b) and pyrido[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline (7), respectively. Refluxing of 5a with NH2CSNH2/KOH and hydrazines in ethanol furnished the corresponding, [1,3]thiazino[4'5':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline (10) and pyrazolo[3',4':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines (11a,b), respectively. Antifungal activity was shown for some of the synthesized compounds.

It has been found that the condensation of esters of 3H-2-imino-7-methyl-4-oxopyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazine-5- and -6-carboxylic acids (I, II) with formaldehyde and primary amines affords the corresponding derivatives of a new heterocyclic system pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazino [3,2-a]-s-triazine (IX-XXIV).     

Synthese und Bioaktivität einiger 4-Oxo-naphtho[1,2-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-Derivate

Synthesis and Bioactivities of Some Derivatives of Naphtho[1,2-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one In continuing the study of the structure-activity relationships of compounds of the naphtho[1,2-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine series, the 4-oxo derivatives 5a–d were synthesized in addition to the 2-oxo compounds reported previously. The synthesis was accomplished by nucleophilic attack of 2-aminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazole (2) on the corresponding β-keto esters 3a–d . Unlike the 2-oxo derivatives, the products showed no hypotensive effect on normotensive rats. However, all compounds exhibited a pronounced diuretic activity in the same animals after oral administration of 10–30 mg/kg. The activity persisted in most cases for more than five hours.
