Analogues of 8-chloro-N-(3-morpholinopropyl)-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indol-4-amine 1, a known cruzain inhibitor, were synthesized using a molecular simplification strategy. Five series of analogues were obtained: indole, pyrimidine, quinoline, aniline and pyrrole derivatives. The activity of the compounds was evaluated against the enzymes cruzain and rhodesain as well as against Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote and trypomastigote forms. The 4-aminoquinoline derivatives showed promising activity against both enzymes, with IC50values ranging from 15 to 125?μM. These derivatives were selective inhibitors for the parasitic proteases, being unable to inhibit mammalian cathepsins B and S. The most active compound against cruzain (compound 5a; IC50?=?15?μM) is considerably more synthetically accessible than 1, while retaining its ligand efficiency. As observed for the original lead, compound 5a was shown to be a competitive enzyme inhibitor. In addition, it was also active against T. cruzi (IC50?=?67.7?μM). Interestingly, the pyrimidine derivative 4b, although inactive in enzymatic assays, was highly active against T. cruzi (IC50?=?3.1?μM) with remarkable selectivity index (SI?=?128) compared to uninfected fibroblasts. Both 5a and 4b exhibit drug-like physicochemical properties and are predicted to have a favorable ADME profile, therefore having great potential as candidates for lead optimization in the search for new drugs to treat Chagas disease.

Reactions of N-cyclohexyl-2-chloroacetamide, N-phenyl-2-chloroacetamide, N-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, N-(2-nitrophenyl)-N-phenyl-2-chloroacetamide, its 3-nitrophenyl and 4-nitrophenyl analogues, N-(2-benzylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, 5-(chloroacetyl)dibenzazepine, and its 10,11-dihydro derivative with piperazine, 1-methylpiperazine, 2-(1-piperazinyl)ethanol, and 3-(1-piperazinyl)propanol resulted in compounds II, III, V -XV, XVIII, XXI, and XXIII, simple analogues of the antiulcer agent pirenzepine (I).Contributions to the syntheses and characterization of mianserin (XIX), bisnor analogue of imipramine (XXV), and pirenzepine (I) are presented.Two 2-aryl-2-(2-pyridyl)thioacetamides XXXVIII and XL were synthesized via nitriles XXXIX and XLI.Compounds XI (VUFB-17 104) and XXI (VUFB-17 113) were found to be rather effective as anti-ulcer agents and anticholinergics.

Attempting some new approaches to 5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b)[1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one (6), compounds 8, 10 and 11 were prepared. Ring enlargement of 4 into 6 failed, as well as condensation of 10 and 11 into ID, which is the potential precursor of pirenzepin (11-[2'-(4'-methylpiperazin-1'-yl)]acetyl derivative of 6) via an envisaged intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. Model compounds 5 and 13 were prepared and their behaviour in analogous reactions explained the failures of the intended transformations of 4, as well as of condensation of 10 and 11.
