Synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-c][1,2,6]benzothiadiazocine, a new ring system as potential COX inhibitor
Derivatives of the new ring system 1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-c][1,2,6] benzothiadiazocin-11(10H)one 5,5-dioxide were synthesized in five or six steps in 57-66% overall yields and tested as COX inhibitors.
Synthesis of substituted isoindolo[2,1-a]quinoxalin-6-yl–amino and 6-imino-5-yl thiourea derivatives
A series of substituted 1-(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)-3-[2-(isoindolo[2,1-a]quinoxalin-6- ylamino)ethyl]thiourea and 1-(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)-3-[2-(6-iminoisoindolo[2,1-a]quinoxalin- 5(6H)-yl)ethyl]thiourea derivatives were prepared in good yields (63-85%) by reaction between the corresponding amino compounds with 5-bromo-2-isothiocyanatopyridine. All thiourea derivatives, tested for inhibition of HIV-1 RT, showed no significant antiviral activity.
New Tripentone Analogs with Antiproliferative Activity
Tripentones represent an interesting class of compounds due to their significant cytotoxicity against different human tumor cells in the submicro-nanomolar range. New tripentone analogs, in which a pyridine moiety replaces the thiophene ring originating the fused azaindole system endowed with anticancer activity viz 8H-thieno[2,3-b]pyrrolizinones, were efficiently synthesized in four steps with fair overall yields (34–57%). All tripentone derivatives were tested in the range of 0.1–100 μM for cytotoxicity against two human tumor cell lines, HCT-116 (human colorectal carcinoma) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer). The most active derivative, with GI50 values of 4.25 µM and 20.73 µM for HCT-116 a…
