Study of the structural and conformational properties of fluoro-substituted thioacetanilide derivatives

The assessment of the influence of a halogen atom in the structural, vibrational and conformational properties of o-, m- and p-fluorothioacetanilide derivatives was achieved through different methodologies. For all compounds infrared (FTIR) and nuclear ma

Contribution of Solvents to Geometrical Preference in the Z/ E Equilibrium of N-Phenylthioacetamide

We studied the Z/E preference of N-phenylthioacetamide (thioacetanilide) derivatives in various solvents by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy, as well as molecular dynamics (MD) and other computational analyses. Our experimental results indicate that the Z/E isomer preference of secondary (NH)thioamides of N-phenylthioacetamides shows substantial solvent dependency, whereas the corresponding amides do not show solvent dependency of the Z/E isomer ratios. Detailed study of the solvent effects based on molecular dynamics simulations revealed that there are two main modes of hydrogen (H)-bond formation between solvent and (NH)thioacetamide, which influence the Z/E isomer preference of (NH)thioamides. DFT calculations of NH-thioamide in the presence of one or two explicit solvent molecules in the continuum solvent model can effectively mimic the solvation by multiple solvent molecules surrounding the thioamide in MD simulations and shed light on the precise nature of the interactions between thioamide and solvent. Orbital interaction analysis showed that, counterintuitively, the Z/E preference of NH-thioacetamides is mainly determined by steric repulsion, while that of sterically congested N-methylthioacetamides is mainly determined by thioamide conjugation.

Dehydrative Beckmann rearrangement and the following cascade reactions

The Beckmann rearrangement has been predominantly studied for the synthesis of amide and lactam. By strategically using the in situ generated Appel's salt or Mitsunobu's zwitterionic adduct as the dehydrating agent, a series of Beckmann rearrangement and following cascade reactions have been developed herein. The protocol allows the conversion of various ketoximes into amide, thioamide, tetrazole and imide products in modular procedures. The generality and tolerance of functionalities of this method have been demonstrated.

Synthesis and antileishmanial activity of fluorinated rhodacyanine analogues: The ‘fluorine-walk’ analysis

In a search for potent antileishmanial drug candidates, eighteen rhodacyanine analogues bearing fluorine or perfluoroalkyl substituents at various positions were synthesized. These compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities against Leishmania martiniquensis and L. orientalis. This ‘fluorine-walk’ analysis revealed that the introduction of fluorine atom at C-5, 6, 5′, or 6′ on the benzothiazole units led to significant enhancement of the activity, correlating with the less negative reduction potentials of the fluorinated analogues confirmed by the electrochemical study. On the other hand, [sbnd]CF3 and [sbnd]OCF3 groups were found to have detrimental effects, which agreed with the poor aqueous solubility predicted by the in silico ADMET analysis. In addition, some of the analogues including the difluorinated species showed exceptional potency against the promastigote and axenic amastigote stages (IC50 = 40–85 nM), with the activities surpassing both amphotericin B and miltefosine.

Rational design and synthesis of 2-anilinopyridinyl-benzothiazole Schiff bases as antimitotic agents

Based on our previous results and literature precedence, a series of 2-anilinopyridinyl-benzothiazole Schiff bases were rationally designed by performing molecular modeling experiments on some selected molecules. The binding energies of the docked molecules were better than the E7010, and the Schiff base with trimethoxy group on benzothiazole moiety, 4y was the best. This was followed by the synthesis of a series of the designed molecules by a convenient synthetic route and evaluation of their anticancer potential. Most of the compounds have shown significant growth inhibition against the tested cell lines and the compound 4y exhibited good antiproliferative activity with a GI50 value of 3.8?μM specifically against the cell line DU145. In agreement with the docking results, 4y exerted cytotoxicity by the disruption of the microtubule dynamics by inhibiting tubulin polymerization via effective binding into colchicine domain, comparable to E7010. Detailed binding modes of 4y with colchicine binding site of tubulin were studied by molecular docking. Furthermore, 4y induced apoptosis as evidenced by biological studies like mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-3, and Annexin V-FITC assays.

Evaluation of dipole moment and electrophilicity on the nature of click-type coupling reaction between thioamide and sulfonyl azide

A cooperated experimental and computational investigation on sulfonyl amidine formation from thioamides and sulfonyl azides is described. The data support a non-concerted two-step pathway for the coupling reaction and also indicate that dipole moment of t
