Selected members of three classes of rhodacyanine dyes, [0, 0]-, [1, 0]-, and [0, 0, 0]-rhodacyanines, were synthesized and their in vitro antimalarial activities against Plasmodium falciparum K1 (chloroquine-resistant strain) as well as their in vivo activities against P. berghei in mice were determined. The novel [0, 0, 0]-rhodacynines, 3e and 3h, possessing a benzothiazole moiety, were shown to have highly promising antimalarial activities in vivo. Moreover, the [0, 0, 0]-rhodacyanines were found to be orally bioavailable.

A series of merocyanine dyes with excellent spectral properties were synthesized through changing the heterocyclic base structure for protein labeling and imaging in biological science, such as living cells and living mice. Dyes 7c-7h showed solvent-dependent changes on emission wavelength and fluorescence intensity in water and hydrophobic solvents, which were further analyzed by theoretical calculations and absorption spectra. The interaction of dye 7d with bovine serum albumin (BSA) showed an obvious ratiometric fluorescence response to solvent/protein environment, with the potential to report protein conformational changes. Investigation of the cytotoxicity and bioimaging capability displayed that dyes 7b-7h showed low cytotoxicity, and could stain living cell cytoplasm and be used for imaging in living mice with bright fluorescence at the application dose, which was suggested as fluorescent reagents for imaging in biological science.

We have previously reported that rhodacyanine dyes, such as 1 and 2, exhibited a potent inhibitory effect on the growth of several tumor cells and that 4-oxothiazolidine (rhodanine) was an essential moiety for antitumor activity. On the basis of our foregoing work, two types of rhodacyanine dyes, which categorized into class I and II depending on the methine length, were synthesized and evaluated as a novel antitumor agent. Attention was particularly focused on the structure-activity study of two heteroaromatic rings. In class I, where the A rings were conjugated to rhodanine via two methine groups, compounds 1, 20, 23, and 24 were found to be efficacious in tumor-bearing nude mice model study, but they did not have the chemical properties (stability, solubility) suitable for clinical use. In contrast, in class II, where the A rings were directly conjugated to rhodanine, compounds 13 and 25, which possessed a benzothiazole moiety for the A ring, exhibited the favorable biological and chemical properties. Therefore, we decided to have a benzothiazole moiety as the A ring and introduce various heterocyclic groups for the B ring. As a result, the pyridinium ring was selected as the optimal moiety for the B ring (compound 13). Further, the variation of counteranion had a profound effect on solubility in water without influence on antitumor activity. Chloride anion was selected as the favorable anion with respect to synthetic method as well as solubility in water. Our study finally led us to the identification of compound 3 (MKT 077, 1-ethyl-2-[[3- ethyl-5-(methylbenzothiazolin-2-ylidene)-4-oxothiazolidin-2- ylidene]pyridinium chloride) as the candidate for clinical trials and is currently subjected to further investigation as a potent antitumor agent in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of solid tumors.

Rhodacyanine dyes and several analogous delocalized lipophilic cations (DLCs) were synthesized and evaluated as novel antitumor agents Rhodacyanine dye consists of two heteroaromatic rings such as thiazoles at both termini of the conjugate systems and 4-oxothiazolidine (rhodanine) in the middle of it. Compounds with such a unique double-conjugate structure were found to inhibit the growth of several tumor cell lines, such as colon carcinoma CX-1, and to exhibit relatively low toxicity against normal kidney cell line CV-1 (e.g., IC50(CX-1) = 50 nM, IC50(CV-1) = 17.3 μM; selectivity index = 346 for compound 5). These compounds were also found to be efficacious in the tumor- bearing nude mice model (e.g., against human melanoma LOX; T/C (%) = 168 for compound 5). Structural modifications on rhodacyanine, including deletion of a heteroaromatic ring involved in the merocyanine conjugate system and replacement of rhodanine with a structurally related moiety such as 4- oxoimidazolidine or 4-oxo-1,3-dithiolane, resulted in a loss of the selectivity and/or the activity. Our current structure-activity studies imply that the double-conjugate system with a rhodanine moiety is essential for the selective activity of rhodacyanine dyes, and we find this class of compounds as unique antitumor agent candidates.

Activation of a representative 3,5-diaryl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thione by thione S-methylation gives a cation that is readily susceptible to nucleophilic substitution.Reactions with diethyl malonate, ethyl acetoacetate, acetylacetone, cyclopentan-1,3-dione, or 3-ethylrhodanine under basic conditions led to β,β-disubstituted methine bases and (or) β-substituted methine bases in cases where deacetylation occurs under the reaction conditions.This cation and the 2-alkyl-3,5-diaryl-1,3,4-thiadiazolium cation are convenient sources of a series of neutral and cationic dyes containing the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring system.
