THIOSEMICARBAZONES

Described herein are thiosemicarbazone compounds and their use in therapy. More particularly, described herein a selection of dipyridyl thiosemicarbazone compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing those compounds, and methods of treating cancer comprising administering those compounds and compositions.

Synthesis, spectral studies and antiamoebic activity of new 1-N-substituted thiocarbamoyl-3-phenyl-2-pyrazolines

Thirty new pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized by cyclization of Mannich bases with thiosemicarbazides being substituted by different cyclic and aromatic amines. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses, UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral data. The in vitro antiamoebic activity was evaluated against Entamoeba histolytica in comparison with metronidazole used as reference substance. Out of the 30 compounds screened for antiamoebic activity, 10 (5, 6, 15, 18, 25-30) were found to be better inhibitors of E. histolytica since they showed lesser IC50 values than metronidazole. The preliminary results indicated that the presence of 3-chloro or 3-bromo substituent on the phenyl ring at position 3 of the pyrazoline ring enhanced the antiamoebic activity as compared to unsubstituted phenyl ring. The study suggests that the preliminary activity of these compounds may further be explored for the development of new targets for amoebiasis.

Bis-pyrazolines: Synthesis, characterization and antiamoebic activity as inhibitors of growth of Entamoeba histolytica

The cyclization of chalcone with N-4 substituted thiosemicarbazides under basic condition led to the formation of new compounds, thiocarbamoyl bis-pyrazoline derivatives. The structure of the compounds were elucidated by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral data and thermogravimetric analysis, and their purities were confirmed by elemental analyses. The antiamoebic activity of these complexes was evaluated by microdilution method against HM1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica and the results were compared with the standard drug, metronidazole. Structure-activity relationship shows that the compound with aromatic substituents at the thiocarbamoyl group was more active than those with the cyclic groups. However, it was clear from the IC50 values that the compounds 15 and 20 are more active and both showed a structural resemblance having an electron withdrawing groups attached to the phenyl ring. MTT assay showed that all the compounds are non-toxic to human kidney epithelial cell line.

Antiamoebic coumarins from the root bark of Adina cordifolia and their new thiosemicarbazone derivatives

In continuation of our search for potential antiamoebic agents from folklore Indian medicinal plants, we found that the benzene and ethyl acetate extracts from the root bark of Adina cordifolia exhibited strong antiamoebic activity with IC50 values of 2.92 and 2.50 μg/ml, respectively. Bioassay-guided fractionation of benzene and ethyl acetate extracts led to the isolation of 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone 1) and 7-β-D-glucosylcoumarin (skimmin 2), respectively. Umbelliferone 1 was converted into 7-acetoxycoumarin 1a, which on treatment with aluminium chloride afforded 7-hydroxy-8-acetylcoumarin 2a. A new series of thiosemicarbazones 3a-e of 7-hydroxy-8-acetylcoumarin with different thiosemicarbazides were synthesized. Umbelliferone was also converted into its methoxy derivative (7-methoxycoumarin 4). Subsequently, all the compounds were assessed for antiamoebic activity against HM1:IMMS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. Umbelliferone and skimmin were found to possess a very good activity with IC50 values of 6.38 and 4.35 μM/ml, respectively. The activity drastically increased on converting compound 2a into its thiosemicarbazone derivatives 3a-e with IC50 values ranging between 1.06 and 4.46 μM/ml. Compounds 3b,c and e with IC50 values of 1.49, 1.56 and 1.06 μM/ml, respectively, exhibited even higher antiamoebic activity than the standard drug metronidazole (IC50 = 2.62 μg/ml). The activity of 7-methoxycoumarin (IC50 = 8.92 μM/ml) was less than umbelliferone. Compounds 3b, c and e were tested for toxicity using H9c2 cardiac myoblasts cell line. The compounds exhibit >80% viability at 3.125-200 μg/ml. It is apparent from these results that umbelliferone and skimmin may be a useful lead for the development of new antiamoebic drugs.

Synthesis and characterization of a new series of hydroxy pyrazolines

3-Phenyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one obtained by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-acetyl thiophene with benzaldehyde was converted into 2,3-dibromo-3-phenyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)propan-1-one, which on treatment with various thiosemicarbazides in the presence of triethylamine in absolute ethanol, yielded the corresponding hydroxy pyrazolines 3a-h. All the compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectra. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
