    Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel acylhydrazone derivatives as potential antitumor agents

    No full text
    We have designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potential antitumor agents a series of 2-hydroxybenzylidene derivatives of the N-(2-trifluoromethylpiridyn-4-yl)anthranilic acid hydrazide, and some analogues bearing a (2-trifluoromethyl)piridyn-4-ylamino group in 3- or 4- position of benzohydrazide or 4- position of phenylacetohydrazide. Compounds 12e, 13e, 15e, and 16e, bearing a 4-(diethylamino)salicylidene group exhibited potent cytotoxicity, with averaged GI50 values in sub-micromolar range, and a variety of cell selectivity at nanomolar concentrations. The determination of acute toxicity in athymic nudes mice proved some compounds to be non-toxic, making them good candidates for further study as antitumor agents

    The reaction between 3-amino-3-(dialkylamino)propenenitriles 1 and sodium thiocyanate in presence of bromine, provides an efficient route for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-cyano-4-(dialkylamino)thiazoles 3

    Synthesis and structural studies of 3-acylamino-4-amino-2,3-dihydro-2-iminothiazole-5-carboxylates and 4-acylhydrazino-2-aminothiazole-5-carboxylates

    The preparation of thiazole derivatives through reactions of ethyl 3-amino-3-acylhydrazinopropenoates (1) with inorganic thiocyanates and thiourea was investigated. The reaction of 1 with sodium thiocyanate, in acetic acid in the presence of bromine, afforded ethyl 3-acylamino-4-amino-2,3-dihydro-2-iminothiazole-5-carboxylates (3) selectively. On reacting the same compounds (1) with thiourea, in acetic acid and in the presence of bromine, 4-acylhydrazino-2-aminothiazole-5-carboxylates (4) were yielded. The structure of the representative compound (3c), ethyl 4-amino-3-benzoylamino-2,3-dihydro-2-iminothiazole-5-carboxylate has been solved by means of X-Ray crystallographic data analysis

    Propenethioamides in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems. Synthesis of pyrrole and 1,4-thiazepine derivatives

    No full text
    The reaction of propenethioamides 1 with bromoketones 2 and 3 led in acidic medium to the formation of 1,4-thiazepines 6 and 7. The pyrrole derivatives 4 and 5 were obtained by reaction of 1 with 2 and 3 in basic medium

    Design, synthesis, and in vitro antitumor activity of new 1,4-diarylimidazole-2-ones and their 2-thione analogues

    A series of new 1,4-diarylimidazol-2(3H)-one derivatives and their 2-thione analogues has been prepared and evaluated in vitro for antitumor activity against the NCI human cancer cell panel. Compounds bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ring linked to either N-1 or C-4 position of the imidazole core demonstrated an interesting profile of cytotoxicity with preferential activity against leukemic cell lines. Compound 13 exhibited a potent antitumor activity against MOLT-4 (GI50 = 20 nM) and SR (GI50 = 32 nM) cell lines
