In Vitro and In Vivo Anti-Breast Cancer Activities of Some Newly Synthesized 5-(thiophen-2-yl)thieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one Candidates.

In this study, some of new thiophenyl thienopyrimidinone derivatives 2-15 were prepared and tested as anti-cancer agents by using thiophenyl thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidinone derivative 2 as a starting material, which was prepared from cyclization of ethyl ester derivative 1 with formamide. Treatment of 2 with ethyl- chloroacetate gave thienopyrimidinone N-ethylacetate 3, which was reacted with hydrazine hydrate or anthranilic acid to afford acetohydrazide 4 and benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 5, respectively. Condensation of 4 with aromatic aldehydes or phenylisothiocyanate yielded Schiff base derivatives 6,7, and thiosemicarbazise 10, which were treated with 2-mercaptoacetic acid or chloroacetic acid to give the corresponding thiazolidinones 8, 9, and phenylimino-thiazolidinone 11, respectively. Treatment of 4 with ethylacetoacetate or acetic acid/acetic anhydride gave pyrazole 12 and acetyl acetohydrazide 13 derivatives, respectively. The latter compound 13 was reacted with ethyl cycno-acetate or malononitrile to give 14 and 15, respectively. In this work, we have studied the anti-cancer activity of the synthesized thienopyrimidinone derivatives against MCF-7 and MCF-10A cancer cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiments showed that the synthesized compounds significantly reduced tumor growth up to the 8th day of treatment in comparison to control animal models. Additionally, the synthesized derivatives showed potential inhibitory effects against pim-1 kinase activities.

Potent Anti-Ovarian Cancer with Inhibitor Activities on both Topoisomerase II and V600EBRAF of Synthesized Substituted Estrone Candidates.

A series of 16-(α-alkoxyalkane)-17-hydrazino-estra-1(10),2,4-trien[17,16-c]-3-ol (3a-l) and estra-1(10),2,4-trien-[17,16-c]pyrazoline-3-ol derivatives (4a-d) were synthesized from corresponding arylidines 2a,b which was prepared from estrone 1 as starting material. Condensation of 1 with aldehydes gave the corresponding arylidine derivatives 2a,b which were treated with hydrazine derivatives in alcohols to give the corresponding derivatives 3a-l, respectively. Additionally, treatment of 2a,b with methyl- or phenylhydrazine in ethanolic potassium hydroxide afforded the corresponding N-substituted pyrazoline derivatives 4a-d, respectively. All these derivatives showed potent anti-ovarian cancer both in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of anti-ovarian cancer was suggested to process via topoisomerase II and V600EBRAF inhibition.

Androgen receptor antagonists and anti-prostate cancer activities of some newly synthesized substituted fused pyrazolo-, triazolo- and thiazolo-pyrimidine derivatives.

A series of substituted pyrazole, triazole and thiazole derivatives (2-13) were synthesized from 1-(naphtho[1,2-d]thiazol-2-yl)hydrazine as starting material and evaluated as androgen receptor antagonists and anti-prostate cancer agents. The newly synthesized compounds showed potent androgen receptor antagonists and anti-prostate cancer activities with low toxicity (lethal dose 50 (LD50)) comparable to Bicalutamide as reference drug. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectral data and elemental analysis. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, LD50 values and pharmacological activities of the synthesized compounds are reported.

A series of new 3-substituted-7-(2-chloro-6-ethoxypyridin-4-yl)-9-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-methylpyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesized as antimicrobial agents using 7-(2-chloro-6-ethoxypyridin-4-yl)-9-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]-[1,3]oxazin-4-one as a starting compound. Its condensation with substituted aniline derivatives or phenyl hydrazine gave the corresponding N-substituted derivatives. Treatment of the starting compound with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding N-amino derivative, which was reacted with substituted phenylisocyanate and phenylisothiocyanate derivatives to give the corresponding semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazide derivatives. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities in comparison to streptomycin and fusidic acid as positive controls. The structure assignments of the new compounds are based on chemical and spectroscopic evidence.

Synthesis and pharmacological activities of some new triazolo- and tetrazolopyrimidine derivatives.

A new series of fused triazolo- and tetrazolopyrimidine derivatives 2-14 were synthesized and their anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic activities were evaluated. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these obtained compounds have good anti-inflammatory activities, comparable to the reference drug. The toxicity of the compounds was also assayed via the determination of their LD50 values. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, MS spectral data and elemental analysis.

Anti-parkinsonism, hypoglycemic and anti-microbial activities of new poly fused ring heterocyclic candidates.

A new series of poly fused pyrazolothienopyrimidine derivatives (2-14) were synthesized and their anti-parkinsonism, hypoglycemic and anti-microbial activities were evaluated. Some of the newly synthesized compounds exhibited better pharmacological and biological activities than the reference controls with low concentrations. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by chemical, elemental and spectroscopic evidences. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, and pharmacological activities were reported.

Synthesis of new macrocyclic polyamides as antimicrobial agent candidates.

A series of macrocyclic imides and Schiff-bases have been prepared via the cyclocondensation of pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl dichloride (1) with L-ornithine methyl ester to give the corresponding macrocyclic bisester 2. Treatment of 2 with hydrazine hydrate gave macrocyclic bisacid hydrazide 3, which was used as starting material. Condensation of bishydrazide 3 with diacid anhydrides or aromatic aldehydes in refluxing acetic acid or ethanol gave the corresponding macrocyclic bisimides 4, 5a,b and macrocyclic bis- hydrazones 6a-j, respectively. The structure assignments of the new compounds were based on chemical and spectroscopic evidence. The antimicrobial screening showed that many of these newly synthesized compounds have good antimicrobial activities, comparable to ampicillin and ketaconazole used as reference drugs.

Pharmacological activities of some new polycyclic triazolopyrazolopyridazine derivatives.

In continuation of our previous work, a novel series of polycyclic derivatives were synthesized and their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Initially the acute toxicity of the compounds was assayed via the determination of their LD(50). Some of the newly compounds exhibited better biological and pharmacological activities than the reference controls with low toxicity (LD(50)). The structure of the new compounds has been established on the bases of chemical and spectroscopic evidences. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, LD(50) and pharmacological activities of the synthesized compounds were reported.
