N-substituted pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides. A new class of diuretics.

The synthesis and evaluation of a new class of diuretic agents derived from the pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide ring system are described. Preliminary structure-activity relationships indicate that the nature and location of the substituents at different positions of the heterocycle are crucial for activity. Thus, a novel synthetic methodology has been developed to selectively introduce the desired substituents at different positions. From the study of the pharmacological properties (dose-response curves, duration of action, and acute toxicity) of the most active compounds, 4-amino-1,7-diethyl-6-methylpyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine++ + 2,2-dioxide (9) was selected for further investigation. Compound 9 (C10H15N5O2S) crystallizes in space group P21/a with unit cell dimensions a = 16.482 (1), b = 9.3484 (3), c = 8.333 (3) A, beta = 103.003 (3) degrees, Z = 4.     

Novel arylpyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides as platelet aggregation inhibitors. 2. Optimization by quantitative structure-activity relationships.

In the previous paper (Part 1), we described the synthesis and antiplatelet activity of a series of phenyl- and heteroarylpyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides. In this paper, we report the optimization of the platelet aggregation inhibitory activity by an iterative sequence of quantitative structure-activity relationship studies which encompassed synthesis and evaluation of the effects of structure variations at the 1-, 6-, and 7-positions of the heterocyclic system. A model has been established that correctly correlates antiplatelet activity in this series with the partial atomic charges calculated by a local density functional ab initio method. As a result of this study, the experimental platelet aggregation inhibitory activity of the lead compound was improved 300-fold.     

Novel arylpyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides as inhibitors of platelet aggregation. 1. Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation.

A series of N-1-substituted derivatives of pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2, 6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides bearing aryl groups at the pyrazino moiety have been prepared. The synthesis involves ring formation between the diaminothiadiazine and suitable dicarbonyl compounds and subsequent introduction of the substituent at N-1. The compounds have been tested in vitro, as inhibitors of rabbit and human platelet aggregation, and ex vivo against rat platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid, ADP, collagen, U46619, and I-BOP. The results obtained indicate that some pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2, 6]thiadiazine derivatives show significant platelet aggregation inhibition similar to other antithrombotic agents and that the antiplatelet properties may be mediated by interference with the arachidonic acid pathway.     

Novel derivatives of benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones: synthesis, photochemical synthesis, and antitumor evaluation

Novel derivatives of benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 3a-j were synthesized in a multistep synthesis starting from substituted benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides, to their corresponding benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides, which were photochemically dehydrohalogenated to their corresponding substituted benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones. Compound 4 was prepared from 3i by alkylation with 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride in the presence of NaH. Compounds 7a,b were prepared from 3g in the multistep synthesis from compounds 5 and 6. Compounds 3b, 3c-f, 3h, 7a, and 7b were found to exert cytostatic activity against malignant cell lines: pancreatic carcinoma (MiaPaCa2), breast carcinoma (MCF7), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2), colon carcinoma (CaCo-2), melanoma (HBL), human fibroblast cell lines (WI-38). The compounds that bear a 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on the quinolone nitrogen (3b, 3c-f, 3h) showed higher antitumor activity than compounds bearing the same substituent on the amidic nitrogen (7a and 7b). The compound 3h, which has a 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on the quinolone nitrogen and a methoxycarbonyl substituent at position 9, had marked antitumor activity. Because of strong cytotoxic effect of compound 4 on melanoma cells (HBL, ME 67.3, and ME 67.1), a potential mechanism of action was examined. Analysis of DNA and Annexin-V-FLUOS staining indicated that compound 4 causes cell death by apoptosis.     

Novel bronchodilators: synthesis, transamination reactions, and pharmacology of a series of pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2, 2-dioxides

The synthesis, pharmacological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships of a new class of bronchodilator agents, derivatives of pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides are described. The compounds were prepared by reaction of 3,4,5-triamino-1,2, 6-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide with suitable 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds or alpha-hydroxyiminoketones and subsequent N-alkylation. A transamination procedure for synthesizing derivatives with different substituents at the 4-amino group is reported for the first time. The pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine derivatives were screened for tracheal relaxing activity in vitro, and the active compounds were evaluated in vivo in guinea pigs as bronchodilator agents in comparison to theophylline. Among the compounds studied, the most interesting properties were displayed by the 4-amino-1-ethyl-6-methyl derivative (21). The toxicological evaluation of this derivative is also reported.     

Design and synthesis of some thieno[2,3-c]pyridazine derivatives of expected anticancer activity

Design and synthesis of some new thienopyridazine derivatives as anticancer agents were the goal of this work. Accordingly, a series of novel compounds were synthesized via reacting thienopyridazine carboxylic acid hydrazide with different organic reagents. Twelve novel compounds were selected by National Cancer Institute for a full anticancer screening assay where seven of the investigated compounds showed non-selective broad spectrum and promising activity almost against all cancer cell lines. One of the most active compounds was chosen to be evaluated against 60-cell line panel at five concentration levels and revealed a remarkable growth inhibition activity.     

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.

Novel cyano- and N-isopropylamidino-substituted derivatives of benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxanilides and benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones: synthesis, photochemical synthesis, crystal structure determination, and antitumor evaluation. 2

Derivatives of 3-chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxanilides and their "cyclic" analogues benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones were synthesized. Spectroscopic study of the interactions of some representatives of "cyclic" derivatives and their "acyclic" precursors with ds-DNA/RNA supported strong intercalative binding of the former and weak nonintercalative binding of the latter group of compounds. All tested compounds showed a certain antiproliferative effect on a series of human tumor cells and on a normal cell line. Among the compounds, those with one amidino-substituent have shown the best effect. The most active benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones induced apparent S and G2/M arrests of the cell cycle, which resulted in apoptosis. These results strongly suggest that the compounds may act as topoisimerase "poisons", which is in good agreement with their intercalative mode of binding to ds-DNA/RNA, in contrast to the studied "acyclic"group of derivatives. 6a and 6d showed the best selectivity by inhibiting the growth of tumor cells but not of normal fibroblasts.     

Einfache Synthese von Isochino[2,3-c][2,3]benzoxazepinon und -[2,3]benzodiazepinonen sowie ihrer Vorstufen

Facile Synthesis of Isoquino[2,3-c][2,3]benzoxazepinone and -[2,3]benzodiazepinones and Their Precursors The isoquinolones 8a , 11a and 17 can be prepared easily from 6 , ammonia and hydroxylamine or hydrazine ( 14a ). By dehydration the isoquino-fused isoquinolone 9 , 2,3-benzoxazepinone 13 and 2,3-benzodiazepinone 16a are obtained. Reactions of the dicarboxylic acid 4 with the hydrazines 14a - c afford the 2,3-benzodiazepines 15a , b and 21 . The oxime 10 rearranges thermally, probably via 13 , to form the phthalide 12 .     

12-acyl-6,1 2-dihydro-6-phenyl-[1 ]benzofuro[2,3-c]- and -[1,5]benzothieno[2,3-c]-[1 ,5]-benzothiazepines--tetracyclic diltiazem derivatives

The reaction of the tetracycles 1 with chloroacetylchloride yields the amides 2. The structure of 2a was proven by X-ray analysis. The amides 2 exist as diastereomers in solution because of planar chirality. From the N-chloroacetyl compounds only 2a, b could be substituted with diethylamine to give 3a, b. Reduction experiments of 3a, b with DIBAH do not afford diltiazem analogues; instead, the starting compounds la, b are formed by hydrolysis.     

The thieno[3,2-c]pyridine and furo[3,2-c]pyridine rings: new pharmacophores with potential antipsychotic activity

Two new arylpiperazine derivatives, the 4-(1-piperazinyl)thieno- and -furo[3,2-c]pyridine ring systems, have been synthesized and appended via tetramethylene chains to various imide rings. Target compounds from each series were found to have significant activity in the blockade of apomorphine stereotypy and apomorphine-induced climbing, the Sidman avoidance response, and the conditioned avoidance response. In addition, while potent affinity for serotonin 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors was observed for both the thieno- and furo[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives, the interaction of these molecules with the dopamine D2 receptor was weak. Electrophysiological studies of the lead prototypes from each series, involving compounds 22 and 33, indicate these two molecules have distinctively different effects on dopamine neurons in areas A9 and A10. Despite the similarity these molecules share in their behavioral indices of antipsychotic activity, it is likely that the thieno- and furo[3,2-c]pyridine rings employ different mechanisms to achieve this convergence of biological effects.
