Synthesis of N-benzyl-N-phenylthiophene-2-carboxamide analogues as a novel class of enterovirus 71 inhibitors

A series of novel human enterovirus 71 inhibitors, N-benzyl-N-phenylthiophene-2-carboxamide analogues, were synthesized and their antiviral activities were evaluated in vitro. Most derivatives of this structure against EV71 had a low micromolar range in the RD (rhabdomyosarcoma) cell lines. The most potent compound 5a, N-(4-bromobenzyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, showed low micromolar activity against EV71 (EC50 = 1.42 μM) compared to the reference anti-EV71 drug enviroxime (EC50 = 0.15 μM). Preliminary SAR studies revealed that the thiophene-2-carboxamide core is crucial for maintaining antiviral activity, and N-substituent phenyl groups largely influenced the anti-EV71 efficacy of this new class of potent antiviral agents.

Versatile synthesis of 4-spiro-β-lactam-3-carbonitriles via the intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization of N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)cyanoacetamides

A series of 4-spiro-cyclohexadienonyl-β-lactam-3-carbonitriles, 2,7-dioxo-1-azaspiro[3.5]nona-5,8-diene-3-carbonitriles, was synthesized in satisfactory to excellent yields via the intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization of N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)cyanoacetamides with iodobenzene diacetate (IBD) as oxidant and potassium hydroxide as base. Acetic 4-spiro-cyclohexadienonyl- β-lactam-3-carbimidic anhydrides were obtained when organic base triethylamine was applied instead of potassium hydroxide. The mechanisms of the intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization and formation of acetic β-lactam-3-carbimidic anhydrides were proposed. The cyclization is a sequence of nucleophilic ipso addition and oxidative dearomatization. The formation of acetic carbimidic anhydrides is an acid-catalyzed acetate addition to the nitriles.
