Synthesis and biological evaluation of new tacrine analogues under microwave irradiation

Efficient routes to various kinds of heterocycles incorporating the p-halophenyl moiety have been synthesized. Different pyrrole derivatives have been synthesized, as well, by Thorpe–Ziegler cyclization. Therefore, we synthesized different analogues of tacrine by Friedl?nder reaction of o-amino nitriles (pyrazolo, furano and pyrrolo) with different cycloalkanones. The use of microwave irradiation leads to shorter production times and high product conversion. These synthesized compounds were biologically evaluated by Ellman’s test on acetylcholinesterase inhibition.

Chiral 6-aryl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amines as EGFR inhibitors

Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors are of importance in cancer therapy and possibly in the management of pain. Herein, we report a structure-activity relationship study with 29 new 6-aryl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amines, involving modification of the 4-amino group and 6-aryl function. The EGFR activity was especially dependent on having a chiral 4-benzylamino group with correct stereochemistry. Molecular dynamics indicate this to be due to favourable cation-π interactions. The most active inhibitor identified, equipotent to Erlotinib, was substituted with (R)-1-phenylethylamine at C-4 and a N1, N1-dimethyl-1,2-diamine group in para position of the 6-aryl moiety. These new furopyrimidines had a different off-target kinase profile when compared to Erlotinib, and also possessed high activity towards Ba/F3 EGFRL858R reporter cells. Further, comparing the EGFR data of the furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amines with that of the corresponding thieno- and pyrrolopyrimidines concludes the furopyrimidine scaffold to be highly useful for development of new epidermal growth factor receptor antagonists.

One-pot synthesis of substituted 2-amino-3-furonitriles

Solvent-free reaction of substituted a-haloketones with malononitrile in the presence of diethylamine provides an efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-amino-5-aryl (alkyl)-3-furonitriles in high yield.
