Triazolopyridyl ketones as a novel class of antileishmanial agents. DNA binding and BSA interaction
A new series of triazolopyridyl pyridyl ketones has been synthetized by regioselective lithiation of the corresponding [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine at 7 position followed by reaction with different electrophiles. The in vitro antileishmanial activity of these compounds was evaluated against Leishmaniainfantum, Leishmaniabraziliensis, Leishmaniaguyanensis and Leishmaniaamazonensis. Compounds 6 and 7 were found to be the most active leishmanicidal agents. Both of them showed activities at micromolar concentration against cultured promastigotes of Leishmania spp. (IC₅₀=99.8-26.8 μM), without cytotoxicity on J774 macrophage cells. These two compounds were also tested in vivo in a murine model…
Triazolopyridines. Part 30. Hydrogen transfer reactions; pyridylcarbene formation
The transfer hydrogenation reaction of (1,2,3)triaz olo(1,5-a)pyridines with Pd/C/Zn or Pd(OH) 2/C/Zn in water, ethanol or water/ethanol mixture ha s been explored. 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro- triazolopyridines were obtained in good to medium yields. In addition, under the same conditions 2-substituted pyridines were also formed as a resul t of intermediate pyridylcarbene formation, by triazole ring opening and loss of nitrogen.
