- Structural and Activity Relationships of 6-Sulfonyl-8-Nitrobenzothiazinones as Antitubercular Agents
-
The benzothiazinone (BTZ) scaffold compound PBTZ169 kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis by inhibiting the essential flavoenzyme DprE1, consequently blocking the synthesis of the cell wall component arabinans. While extraordinarily potent against M. tuberculosis with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than 0.2 ng/mL, its low aqueous solubility and bioavailability issues need to be addressed. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of 6-methanesulfonyl substituted BTZ analogues; further exploration introduced five-member aromatic heterocycles as linkers to attach an aryl group as the side chain. Our work led to the discovery of a number of BTZ derived compounds with potent antitubercular activity. The optimized compounds 6 and 38 exhibited MIC 47 and 30 nM, respectively. Compared to PBTZ169, both compounds displayed increased aqueous solubility and higher stability in human liver microsomes. This study suggested that an alternative side-chain modification strategy could be implemented to improve the druglike properties of the BTZ-based compounds.

- Aerobic Visible-Light Induced Intermolecular S?N Bond Construction: Synthesis of 1,2,4-Thiadiazoles from Thioamides under Photosensitizer-Free Conditions
-
Aerobic visible-light induced intermolecular S?N bond construction has been achieved without the addition of photosensitizer, metal, or base. With this strategy, 1,2,4-thiadiazoles can be obtained from thioamides. Preliminary mechanistic investigation suggested that the excited state of thioamides undergoes a single-electron-transfer (SET) process to afford thioamidyl radicals, which can be further transformed into a 1,2,4-thiadiazole through desulfurization and oxidative cyclization. The reaction has good functional group tolerance and represents a green method for the construction of S?N bonds.

- A efficient protocol for the synthesis of thioamides in [DBUH][OAc] at room temperature
-
A novel, simple and eco-friendly method to synthesize thioamides from aryl nitriles and sodium sulfide (Na2S·9H2O) catalyzed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-enium acetate ([DBUH][OAc]) ionic liquid (IL) at room temperature was developed in this paper. In this reaction, readily available inorganic salt (Na2S·9H2O) serves as the sulfur source, and various functional groups of aryl nitriles were well tolerated at room temperature. In addition, the products were easily separated from the IL which could be reused at least five times without considerable loss of its activity and applied in the green, concise synthesis of ethionamide.

- A simple method for synthesis of thioamides and application in synthesis of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles
-
A novel, simple protocol is disclosed for the synthesis of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles starting from thioamides with Na2-eosin Y-sensitized titanium dioxide as catalyst through visible light irradiation (7 W blue LED light) and only 0.3 mol% catalysts were used. The raw material thioamides is prepared by aryl nitriles and sodium sulfide (Na2S9H2O) in DMF and in this reaction, readily available, inexpensive inorganic salt (Na2S9H2O) serves as the sulfur source and various functional groups of aryl nitriles were well and thioamides were synthesized successfully in gram-scale.

- Design, synthesis and Structure-activity relationship studies of new thiazole-based free fatty acid receptor 1 agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
-
The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1/GPR40) has attracted interest as a novel target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Several series of FFA1 agonists including TAK-875, the most advanced compound terminated in phase III studies due to concerns about liver toxicity, have been hampered by relatively high molecular weight and lipophilicity. Aiming to develop potent FFA1 agonists with low risk of liver toxicity by decreasing the lipophilicity, the middle phenyl of TAK-875 was replaced by 11 polar five-membered heteroaromatics. Subsequently, systematic exploration of SAR and application of molecular modeling, leads to the identification of compound 44, which was an excellent FFA1 agonist with robustly hypoglycemic effect both in normal and type 2 diabetic mice, low risks of hypoglycemia and liver toxicity even at the twice molar dose of TAK-875. Meanwhile, two important findings were noted. First, the methyl group in our thiazole series occupied a small hydrophobic subpocket which had no interactions with TAK-875. Furthermore, the agonistic activity revealed a good correlation with the dihedral angle between thiazole core and the terminal benzene ring. These results promote the understanding of ligand-binding pocket and might help to design more promising FFA1 agonists.

- Synthesis, crystal structure, anti-HIV, and antiproliferative activity of new oxadiazole and thiazole analogs
-
A series of 2-adamantyl-5-arylthiazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 7a–x together with thiazoles 13 and 14 were synthesized. Compounds 7a–l, 13, and 14 were tested in vitro with the aim of identifying novel lead compounds active against human immunodeficiency virus type-1 and human immunodeficiency virus type-2 activity in MT-4 cells. Title compounds were also tested against representatives of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp.), various mycobacterial strains (Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis), yeast (Candida albicans), and mold (Aspergillus fumigatus). None of the compounds showed antiviral or antimicrobial activity, except compounds 13 and 14 exhibited anti-human immunodeficiency virus-1 activity with EC50 values of 1.79 and 2.39 μM with Selectivity index = 18 and 4, respectively. On the other hand, compounds 7a and 7j showed a marked cytotoxicity against the human CD4+ lymphocytes (MT-4). Therefore, 7a and 7j were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against two solid tumor-derived cell lines, which exhibited IC50 values of 8.1 ± 0.10 μM and 4.8 ± 0.08 μM against Hep-G2 cell lines, respectively.

- Crystal landscape of primary aromatic thioamides
-
The crystal landscape of a series of primary aromatic thioamides is described, displaying similar characteristic intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions in the solid state to those observed in their widely studied amide analogues, including R22(8) dimers and C(4) chains. In a number of cases, high Z′ values were observed in the structures. On the basis of the observed solid-state features, the thioamide functional group, which is a strong hydrogen-bond donor and moderate acceptor, offers considerable potential as a key moiety for crystal engineering.

- Agonists for the adenosine A1 receptor with tunable residence time. a case for nonribose 4-amino-6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiopyrimidines
-
We report the synthesis and evaluation of previously unreported 4-amino-6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiopyrimidines as selective human adenosine A 1 receptor (hA1AR) agonists with tunable binding kinetics, this without affecting their nanomolar affinity for the target receptor. They show a very diverse range of kinetic profiles (from 1 min (compound 52) to 1 h (compound 43)), and their structure-affinity relationships (SAR) and structure-kinetics relationships (SKR) were established. When put in perspective with the increasing importance of binding kinetics in drug discovery, these results bring new evidence of the consequences of affinity-only driven selection of drug candidates, that is, the potential elimination of slightly less active compounds that may display preferable binding kinetics.

- Development of new deoxycytidine kinase inhibitors and noninvasive in vivo evaluation using positron emission tomography
-
Combined inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase and deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) in multiple cancer cell lines depletes deoxycytidine triphosphate pools leading to DNA replication stress, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Evidence implicating dCK in cancer cell proliferation and survival stimulated our interest in developing small molecule dCK inhibitors. Following a high throughput screen of a diverse chemical library, a structure-activity relationship study was carried out. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using 18F-L-1-(2′-deoxy-2′-FluoroArabinofuranosyl) Cytosine (18F-L-FAC), a dCK-specific substrate, was used to rapidly rank lead compounds based on their ability to inhibit dCK activity in vivo. Evaluation of a subset of the most potent compounds in cell culture (IC50 = ~1-12 nM) using the 18F-L-FAC PET pharmacodynamic assay identified compounds demonstrating superior in vivo efficacy.

- Synthesis and Antitumor Activity of 3-(2-Phenyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-1H-indoles and 3-(2-Phenyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-1H-7-azaindoles
-
Given the potent antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor activities of many natural products, there is an increasing interest in the synthesis of new molecules based on natural compound scaffolds. Based on a 2,4-bis(3'-indolyl)imidazole skeleton, two new series of phenylthiazolylindoles and phenylthiazolyl-7-azaindoles were obtained by Hantzsch reaction between substituted phenylthioamides and the α-bromoacetyl derivatives. Some azaindole derivatives, tested at the National Cancer Institute against a panel of ~60 tumor cell lines derived from nine human cancer cell types, showed inhibitory effects against all cell lines investigated at micromolar to nanomolar concentrations. Two of them exhibited a high affinity for CDK1, with IC50 values of 0.41 and 0.85μM. These promising results will set the foundation for future investigations into the development of anticancer therapies. Marine mining: Given the promise of marine-derived bioactive indole alkaloids, we synthesized a series of phenylthiazolylindoles and phenylthiazolyl-7-azaindoles, and evaluated their antitumor activity against a panel of 60 cancer cell lines. Some derivatives showed IC50 values in the micromolar to nanomolar range.

- Reactions of some ortho and para halogenated aromatic nitriles with ethylenediamine: Selective synthesis of imidazolines
-
The reaction of ethylenediamine (EDA) with ortho and/or para halogenated benzonitriles did not lead to the imidazolines expected: a competitive aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) was observed instead. The selective synthesis of these imidazolines was performed by nucleophilic addition of EDA to thiobenzamide derivatives. The difference in reactivity between the nitrile and thioamide derivatives was estimated by a frontier orbital approach at the RHF/6-31G** level which predicted a greater reactivity of substituted thiobenzamides towards the nucleophilic addition of EDA.

A series of 2-substituted thiazol-4-ylethanamines have been synthesized and tested for their histaminergic H1-receptor activities. The compounds with 2-phenyl substitution, regardless of the different physicochemical properties of the meta-substituents at the phenyl ring, showed weak H1-agonistic activity with pD2 values ranging from 4.35 to 5.36. When the phenyl group was replaced by a benzyl group, the resulting compounds all exhibited weak H1-antagonistic activity (pA2: 4.14-4.82). Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
