Anti-hepatitis-C virus activity and QSAR study of certain thiazolidinone and thiazolotriazine derivatives as potential NS5B polymerase inhibitors

The present study reports on evaluation of anti-HCV activity and QSAR of certain arylidenethiazolidinone derivatives as potential inhibitors of HCV-NS5B polymerase. The pursued compounds involving, 5-aryliden-3-arylacetamidothiazolidin-2,4-diones 4–6(a–f), 5-arylidine-2-(N-arylacetamido)-iminothiazolidin-4-one (10) and their rigid counterparts 5-arylidinethiazolotriazines 13–15(a–f), were synthesized and their structures confirmed by spectral and elemental analyses. The results of NS5B polymerase inhibition assay revealed compound 4e, as the most active inhibitor (IC50 = 0.035 μM), which is four folds greater than that of the reference agent, VCH-759, (IC50 = 0.14 μM). Meanwhile, compounds 4b, 4c, 5a, and 5c, and 13b, 14e and 15c displayed equipotency to 2 folds higher activity than VCH-759 (IC50 values: 0.085, 0.14, 0.14, 0.10, 0.12, 0.09 and 0.07 μM, respectively). Assessment of the anti-HCV activity (GT1a) using human hepatoma cell line (Huh-7.5) illustrates superior activity of 4e (EC50 = 3.80 μM) relative to VCH-759 (EC50 = 5.29 μM). Cytotoxicity evaluation on, Transformed normal cell lines (Human Liver Epithelial-2, THLE-2 and Proximal Tubular Epithelial, RPTEC/TERT1), demonstrate enhanced safety profile of 4e (CC50 = 102.77, 161.37 μM, respectively) compared to VCH-759 (CC50 = 61.83, 81.28 μM, respectively). Molecular docking of the synthesized derivatives to NS5B polymerase allosteric site (PDB: 2HWH) showed similar binding modes to that of the co-crystallized ligand. Moreover, QSAR models were established for the studied thiazolidinones and thiazolotriazines to investigate the molecular characteristics contributing to the observed NS5B polymerase inhibition activity. The obtained results inspire further investigations of thiazolidinones and thiazolotriazine aiming at affording more potent, safe and orally active non-nucleoside NS5B polymerase inhibitors as anti-HCV drug candidates.

A facile synthesis of 5-arylidene-2-imino-4-thiazolidinones under microwave irradiation

A series of 5-arylidene-2-imino-4-thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesized by the cross-aldol condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 2-imino-4-thiazolidinone in sodium acetate/acetic acid under microwave irradiation. The reactions were completed in 10 min with 63-91% yields, were environmental benign, and had easy workup. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Heterophase N-aminomethylation of 5-arylidenepseudothiohydantoins by arylamines and aqueous formaldehyde in aromatic solvents: Effect of substituents in the heterocyclic substrate and the aryl amine on the efficiency of the process

We have obtained a series of 3-aryl-7-arylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,3] thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-6(7H)-ones by means of heterophase aminomethylation of 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones with aqueous formaldehyde and aromatic amines in benzene or toluene. We explain the effect of substituents in the heterocyclic substrate and the aryl amine on the efficiency of the process within a detailed scheme for one of the possible aminomethylation reaction routes.

STRUCTURE OF 2-IMINO-5-ARYLIDENE-4-THIAZOLIDINONES

It was established by means of PMR spectroscopy that, depending on the method of preparation, 2-imino-5-arylidene-4-thiazolidones exist in the form of various geometrical isomers relative to the exocyclic C=N bond.The E isomers are obtained as a result of condensation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone with the corresponding benzaldehydes, whereas the Z isomers are formed in the solvolysis of hydroxymethyl and piperidinomethyl derivatives.The geometrical isomers retain their individuality in solutions in d6-DMSO and in ethanol.Upon dissolving in alkali with subsequent neutralization the E isomer of 2-imino-5-benzylidene-4-thiazolidinone is converted to the Z isomer.Reverse conversion of the Z isomer to the E isomer occurs when a solid sample is heated to 180 deg C.
