Seven new 2-(3-(4-aryl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) chroman-4-ones (4a-4g) have been synthesized by cyclization of 2-hydroxychalcone analogues of pyrazole 3a-3g using conc. HCl in acetic acid. The structures of the compounds 4a-4g were established by the combined use of (1)HNMR, IR and mass spectra. All the seven compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activity against two Gram positive bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and two Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compounds 4b, 4c, 4e, 4f, 4g have displayed good antibacterial activity when compared with commercially available antibiotic, ciprofloxacin. These compounds also were screened for their antifungal activity against two ear pathogenic fungi, namely Aspergillus Niger and A. flavus. The compounds 4a, 4c, 4d, 4g exhibited good antifungal activity when compared with commercially available antifungal, fluconazole.     

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of 3-aryl-2-[1H(2H)-benzotriazol-1(2)-yl]acrylonitriles variously substituted: Part 4

A new series of variously substituted 3-aryl-2-[1H(2H)-benzotriazol-1(2)-yl]acrylonitriles was synthesized and tested for antiproliferative and antitubercular activity as part of our continuing research program in the antimicrobial and antitumor fields. The most cytotoxic derivatives (5a,g,i,j,l and 7b) (CC50 < 3.0 microM against MT-4 cells) were evaluated against a panel of human cell lines derived from hematological and solid tumors, using 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and etoposide as reference drugs. In particular, E-2-(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile (5g) resulted more potent than 6-MP on all cell lines, even if 2-14-fold less potent than etoposide. In the antitubercular screening, the derivatives 5i,j and 7e showed moderate activity against some resistant strains of Mycobacterium tested.     

Synthesis and antileukemic activity of new 3-(1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-yl)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones

Pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of 3-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinoxalin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)benzamide; a novel ALK5 inhibitor and a potential anti-fibrosis drug

The authors investigated the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of 3-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinoxalin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)benzamide (IN-1130), a novel ALK5 inhibitor, which suppresses renal and hepatic fibrosis, and also exerts anti-metastatic effects on breast cancer-bearing MMTV-cNeu mice model. Plasma half-lives of orally administered IN-1130 were 62.6 min in mice, 76.6?±?10.6 min in dogs, 156.1?±?19.3 min in rats, and 159.9?±?59.9 min in monkeys. IN-1130 showed a high apparent permeability coefficient (P_app) of (45.0?±?2.3)?×?10^?6 cm s^?1 in in vitro permeability tests in a Caco-2 cell monolayer model. The bioavailability of orally administered IN-1130 was 84.9% in dogs and 34.4% in monkeys (oral dose, 5.5 mg kg^?1), 11.4% in rats and 8.95% in mice (oral dose, 50.3 mg kg^?1), respectively. Orally given IN-1130 was readily distributed into liver, kidneys and lungs. The major metabolite of IN-1130 (M1) was detected in the systemic circulation of rat and mouse and was purified and tentatively identified as 3-((4-(3-hydroxyquinoxaline-6-yl)-5-(6-methylpyridine-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)benzamide or 3-((4-(2-hydroxyquinoxalin-6-yl)-5-(6-methylpyridine-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)benzamide. The highest levels of M1 were found in liver. The results of this study suggest that IN-1130 has the potential to serve as an effective oral anti-fibrotic drug.     

(2E,4E)-N-(4-(1H-Indol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)alkyl-5-(substituted phenyl)-2,4-pentadienamides as Antiallergic Agents with Antihistaminic and Anti Slow-Reacting Substance (SRS) Activities

As an extension of our study aiming to discover a novel compound with dual activities against histamine and slow-reacting substance (SRS), we synthesized two types of indolylpiperidine derivatives, 3 and 4–20. Testing for in vivo antianaphylactic activity and for in vitro anti-SRS activity revealed that (2E,4E)-5-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(2-(4-(1H-indol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-2,4-pentadienamide ( 11 ) exhibited potent dual activities with ED₅₀ = 0.89 mg/kg and IC₅₀ = 1.43 μM, respectively. However, the plasma concentration of unchanged 11 was very low when administered orally in guinea pigs. This result can be explained by fast formation of a glucuronic acid conjugate.     

Synthesis and cytotoxicity testing of novel 2-(3-substituted-6-chloro-1,1-dioxo-1,4,2-benzodithiazin-7-yl)-3-phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones

A new series of thirteen 2-[3-(substituted amino)-6-chloro-1,1-dioxo-1,4,2-benzodithiazin-7-yl]-3-phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones 4-16 were prepared in order to evaluate their cytotoxic activity against 12 human cancer cell lines. The bioassay indicated that the quinazolinone derivatives 5, 8-12, 15, and 16 possess cancer-cell growth-inhibitory properties. Compounds 5 and 12 showed a high level of selectivity for certain cell lines. The most active compounds 9, 10, 15, and 16 showed moderate antiproliferative activity and were approximately 4-fold less potent than cisplatin.     

Synthesis, cytotoxicity testing, and structure-activity relationships of novel 6-chloro-7-(4-phenylimino-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-yl)-3-(substituted)-1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxides

A new series of 16 6-chloro-1,1-dioxo-7-{4-[(4-R(1)-phenyl)imino]-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-yl}-3-(substituted amino)-1,4,2-benzodithiazines 7-22 was prepared in order to evaluate the cytotoxic activity against six human cancer cell lines. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by IR, (1)H-, and (13)C-NMR, elemental analysis and in the cases of 11 and 31 by X-ray crystal structure analysis. This analysis showed that contrary to our earlier report the structures contain a benzoxazine ring instead of the proposed quinazolinone ring. The bioassay indicated that the benzodithiazine derivatives 7-22 possess cancer cell growth-inhibitory properties. Some compounds showed a high level of selectivity for certain cell lines. The most active compounds 11, 12, 16, 19, 21, and 22 exhibited potency higher or comparable to cisplatin. The compounds were particularly effective in LCLC-103H and MCF-7 cell lines with IC(50) values of 0.49-1.60 μM. Quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) revealed that a chloro substituent R(1) in the phenyl ring as well as the shape of the substituted amino group at R(2) (e.g., unsaturation is beneficial) are important for potency.

Preliminary screening data have indicated that compounds [IIIa-d] exhibit either a moderate or a high anti-HIV activity and a moderate anticancer activity in some human tumor cell lines.     

Synthesis and development of new 2-substituted 1-[3-(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives with antiarrhythmic, hypotensive, and alpha-adrenolytic activity

A series of new 1-[3-(4-arylpiperazinyl-1-yl)-2-(N-alkylcarbamoyloxy)propyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives (4a-12a) were synthesised and tested for their electrocardiographic, antiarrhythmic and antihypertensive activity, as well as for the alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptor binding affinities. Of the newly synthesised derivatives, 1-{2-(N-2-methylethylcarbamoiloxy)-3-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)]propyl}pyrrolidin-2-one dihydrochloride (10a) was the most active in prophylactic antiarrhythmic tests, its ED50 value equalling 2.7 mg kg(-1), and the therapeutic index being 75.2; moreover, compound 10a was also found to possess hypotensive activity. A preliminary molecular modelling study suggested that the selected alpha1-AR antagonist distances and angles between pharmacophoric features, estimated for the tested compounds, were in good agreement with the parameters evaluated for ligands.     

Synthesis and antinociceptive activity of (5-chloro-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-benzoxazolon-3-yl) propanamide derivatives

In this study, (5-chloro-2(3H)-benzoxazolon-3-yl)propanamide derivatives were synthesized. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by their IR and 1H-NMR spectral data and microanalysis. The compounds were tested for antinociceptive activity by using the tail clip, tail flick, hot plate, and writhing methods. The varying levels of antinociceptive activity of the compounds were compared with those of dipyrone and aspirin. Among these compounds, compound 5e, 5g, and 5h have been found to be significantly more active than the others and the standards in all the tests.     

Antibacterial, antifungal and anticonvulsant evaluation of novel newly synthesized 1-[2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethyl]-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazoles

Several novel 1-[2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) ethyl]-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazoles (3a-h) have been synthesized by the condensation of 1-[2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-ethyl]-1H-benzotriazole (2) and appropriate acid chlorides. 1-[2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-ethyl]-1H-benzotriazole (2) was synthesized by reacting 3-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)propanenitrile with sodium azide and ammonium chloride in the presence of dimethylformamide. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR and PMR analysis. The titled compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity by the cup plate method and anticonvulsant activity evaluated by the maximal electroshock induced convulsion method in mice. All synthesized compounds exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and moderate antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Compounds 5-(2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazo-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)(4-aminophenyl)methanone 3d and 5-(2-(1 H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazo-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)(2-aminophenyl)methanone 3e elicited excellent anticonvulsant activity.
