Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 4-oxo-6-substituted phenyl-2-thioxo1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives as HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitors

Aim: To design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 4-oxo-6-substituted phenyl-2-thioxo1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives as HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitors. Background: Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), a member of retroviridae family, is the primary causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Three enzymes viz: inte-grase (IN), reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease play important role in its replication cycle. HIV-1 integrase is responsible for the incorporation of viral DNA into human chromosomal DNA by cata-lyzing two independent reactions, 3′-processing (3′-P) and strand transfer (ST), which are observed as the “point of no-return” in HIV infection. Objective: To develop inhibitors against HIV integrase strand transfer step. Methods: Our previous results indicated that tetrahydro pyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives are potent HIV-1 IN inhibitors (unpublished results from our laboratory). Taking clue from above studies and our own experience, we hypothesized 4-oxo-6-substituted phenyl-2-thioxo1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile analogues (14a to 14n) as inhibitors of HIV-1 Integrase strand transfer. Prototype compound 14 can be viewed as hybrid structure having characteristics of dihy-dropyrimidine derivatives 10-12 and tyrphostin 13. Results: A total of fourteen derivatives of 4-oxo-6-substituted phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (14a-14n) were synthesized and evaluated using HIV-1 Integrase Assay Kit (Xpressbio Life Science Products, USA). The percentage inhibition of all compounds was investigated at 10 μM concentration and IC50 value of few highly active compounds was studied. The obtained results were validated by in silico molecular docking study using Glide (maestro version 9.3, Schr?dinger suite) in extra precision (XP) mode. Conclusion: Fourteen 4-oxo-6-substituted phenyl-2-thioxo 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile analogues were synthesized and evaluated for HIV-1 IN inhibitory activity. Three compounds 14a, 14e, and 14h exhibited significant percentage inhibition of HIV-1 IN. There was good in vitro-in silico correlation. However, none of the derivative was active against HIV-1 and HIV-2 below their cytotoxic concentration. It needs to be seen whether these compounds can be explored further for their anti-HIV or cytotoxic potential.

Synthesis, antibacterial activities and molecular docking study of thiouracil derivatives containing oxadiazole moiety

A series of novel thiouracil derivatives 9 containing an oxadiazole moiety have been synthesized by structural modification of a lead SecA inhibitor, 2. These compounds have been evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Among them, compounds 9g and 9n exhibited promising antibacterial activities against the tested strains. Compound 9g was also tested for its inhibitory activities against SecA ATPase, and the IC50 value of compound 9g was 19.9 μg/mL, lower than that of compound 2 (20.8 μg/mL). Molecular docking work indicates that compound 9g likely occupies the pocket formed by SecA IRA2 and NBD domain.

Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of thiouracil derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine

A series of new thiouracil compounds containing 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine were designed and synthesized. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the new compounds against Bacillus am-yloliquefaciens, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis were tested. The results showed that some of the new compounds had strong inhibitory activities against the tested bacteria. At the concentration of 50 μg/mL, the compound 12d had broad and the highest inhibitory activity with the 100% inhibition against the three tested strains, the same as norfloxacin which was used as the control.

Synthesis and evaluation of coumarin hybrids as antimycobacterial agents

A series of twelve hybrid coumarin analogs were synthesized and screened through HTS for their antimycobacterial activity against Mtb H37Rv. The hybrid molecules were efficiently synthesized by the reactions of 3-(bromoacetyl)coumarin with Biginelli produ

Design, synthesis and antimicrobial activities of thiouracil derivatives containing triazolo-thiadiazole as SecA inhibitors

A series of novel thiouracil derivatives containing a triazolo-thiadiazole moiety (7a-7l) have been synthesized by structural modifications on a lead SecA inhibitor, 2. All the compounds have been evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. Compounds 7d and 7g were also tested for their inhibitory activities against SecA ATPase due to their promising antimicrobial activities. The inhibitory activity of compound 7d was found to be higher than that of 2. Molecular docking work suggests that compound 7d might bind at a pocket close to the ATPase ATP-binding domain.

Synthesis, molecular modeling, and biological evaluation of novel benzimidazole derivatives as inhibitors of hepatitis C virus RNA replication

In this study, synthesis and docking studies of a series of new benzimidazole derivatives linked to substituted pyrimidines either through the methylenethio linkage or its bioisosteric methylene amino bridge were carried out. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA replication-inhibitory activity. Compounds 4d, 4f, and 4h were found to be more potent than VX-950 (IC50/90of 4d=0.123/0.321, 4f=0.145/0.345, 4h=0.129/0.432, VX-950=0.20/0.45μM, respectively) and 6d (IC50/90=0.116/0.452μM) displayed activity very similar to that of the standard. Compounds 4d, 4f, 4h, and 6d were potent HCV RNA replication inhibitors and are good drug candidates for further investigations.

Microwave-assisted synthesis, molecular docking and antitubercular activity of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives

Based on bioisosteric similarities with isoniazid, a series of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives has been designed. The target compounds have been synthesized by multicomponent reaction which involves one-pot organic reactions using ethylcyanoacetate, urea/thiourea and arylaldehydes in presence of ethanolic K2CO3. Two methodologies, conventional and microwave-assisted, have been adopted for the synthesis. The later strategy gave high yields in less than 10 min as compared to long hours using the former approach. Molecular docking of the target compounds into the enzyme Mycobacterium tuberculosis enoyl reductase (InhA) revealed important structural information on the plausible binding interactions. Major binding interactions were found to be of dispersion type (residues Tyr158, Ile215, Met103 and Met199) and a hydrogen bond with Tyr158. Binding poses of the all the compounds were energetically favorable and showed good interactions with the active site residues. Few selected compounds were also evaluated for antitubercular activity in vitro against drug-sensitive M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain and clinically isolated S, H, R and E resistant M. tuberculosis by luciferase reporter phage (LRP) assay method. Some compounds displayed promising antimycobacterial activity comparable or less than the standard drugs isoniazid and rifampicin.

Chemotherapeutic agents, XVIII: Synthesis of pi-deficient pyrimidines and fused pyrimidines as leishmanicidal agents.

Synthesis of 6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiouracils 1a-d from the condensation-cyclization of an aromatic aldehyde, thiourea and ethyl cyanoacetate has been described. Alkylation of 1a-d under different reaction conditions with mono- and dihalo-alkanes yielded 2, 3, and 6. Interaction of 1 with POCl3 provided halopyrimidines 8a,b. Nucleophilic substitution on 8 and 3 with aromatic amines gave 9a-d and 7a-d respectively. 6-Chloro-5-nitro-3-methyluracil (11) obtained by nitration of 10 underwent nucleophilic substitution with amines providing 12. Some of the compounds screened as leishmanicides did not exhibit any significant activity.
