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.

Spin adducts of several N-2-(2-alkoxycarbonyl-propyl)-alpha-pyridylnitrone derivatives with superoxide, alkyl and lipid-derived radicals

Several derivatives of N-t-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN) such as N-2-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-propyl)-alpha-phenylnitrone (EPPN) have recently been reported to form superoxide spin adducts (t(1/2) ca. 2-7 min at pH 7.0), which are considerably more stable than their respective PBN or DMPO adducts (t(1/2) ca. 10 and 45 s, respectively). In continuation of our studies on structure optimization of EPPN derivatives, a series of 12 novel spin traps with 2-, 3- and 4-pyridinyl substituents was synthesized and fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. In addition to the replacement of the phenyl ring by a 2-, 3- or 4-pyridinyl substituent, the ethoxy group of the parent compound EPPN was replaced by either a propoxy, iso-propoxy, or cyclopropylmethoxy moiety. Superoxide adducts of all PPyN derivatives were considerably more stable than those of the respective EPPN derivatives with half-lives ranging from about 6 to 11 min. In addition, alkoxyl radical adducts were also considerably more stable than those of the EPPN series. Hydroxyl radical adducts were not detected, on the other hand, very stable spin adducts were formed from a series of carbon centered radicals, e.g. from the methyl or hydroxymethyl radical. The novel spin traps are offering an alternative to PBN or POBN, especially where the higher stability of oxygen-centered radical adducts is of major importance. All of them can easily be synthesized from commercially available compounds in two or three steps.     

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

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,characterization and anticancer activity of certain 3-{4-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl)phenylimino}indolin-2-one derivatives

A series of 5- or 7-substituted 3-{4-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenylimino}-indolin-2-one derivatives were synthesized by treating 5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol with different isatin derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of spectral (FT-IR, ¹H NMR, MS) analyses. All the synthesized derivatives were screened for anticancer activity against HeLa cancer cell lines using MTT assay. All the synthetic compounds produced a dose dependant inhibition of growth of the cells. The IC₅₀ values of all the synthetic test compounds were found between 10.64 and 33.62 μM. The potency (IC₅₀ values) of anticancer activity of compounds VIb–d was comparable with that of known anticancer agent, Cisplatin. Among the synthesized 2-indolinones, compounds VIb–d with halogen atom (electron withdrawing groups) at C5 position showed the most potent activity. These results indicate that C5 substituted derivatives may be useful leads for anticancer drug development in the future.

A series of 32 3-aryl-, 3-cyclohexyl-, and 3-heteroaryl-substituted-2-(1H(2H)-benzotriazol-1(2)-yl)-prop-2-enenitriles, prop-2-enamides and propenoic acids, was synthesized as a part of our research in the antitubercular field, according to an international program with the Tuberculosis Antimicrobial Acquisition and Coordinating Facility (TAACF). This work reports the preparation and analytical and spectroscopic characterization (MS, UV, IR, 1H NMR) of all compounds synthesized. Among these only a few compounds (E-4b,c, E-5a, E-7e and E-8d) were found to be endowed with modest growth inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the obtained results allowed to acquire interesting structure-activity relationships.     

Antiherpes activity of [E]-5-(1-propenyl)-2′-deoxyuridine and 5-(1-propenyl)-1-β-d-arabinofuranosyluracil

5-(1-Propenyl)-1-β-d-arabinofuranosyluracil has been synthesized, and this compound and [E]-5-(1-propenyl)-2′-deoxyuridine have been tested for inhibition of herpes virus multiplication. Only [E]-5-(1-propenyl)-2′-deoxyuridine was found to be an active inhibitor reducing by 50% the plaque formation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) at about 1 μM. A comparison to the bromovinyl derivatives showed the following order of decreasing activity; $\text{[}\text{E}\text{]-5-(2-}\text{bromovinyl}\text{)-2′-}\text{deoxyuridine}\text{> 5-(2-}\text{bromovinyl}\text{)-1-β-}\text{d}\text{-}\text{arabinofuranosyluracil}\text{≥ [}\text{E}\text{]-5-(1-}\text{propenyl}\text{)-2′-}\text{deoxyuridine}\text{> 5-(1-}\text{propenyl}\text{)-1-β-}\text{arabinofuranosyluracil}$. HSV-1 mutants lacking thymidine kinase or resistant against acycloguanosine were resistant against [E]-5-(1-propenyl)-2′-deoxyuridine. All compounds seemed to be phosphorylated by HSV-1 thymidine kinase in a cell-free assay. The compounds were phosphorylated to a lower extent by cellular or HSV-2 thymidine kinase, and the HSV-2 strains tested were inhibited by less than 50% at 100 μM in plaque assays. A selective inhibition of HSV-1 DNA synthesis by [E]-5-(1-propenyl)-2′-deoxyuridine was observed in infected cells indicating an effect on viral DNA polymerase. [E]-5-(1-Propenyl)-2′-deoxyuridine had a low cellular toxicity and a therapeutic effect when applied topically to HSV-1-infected guinea pig skin.
