Seven 3-methylidene-1H-indol-2(3H)-ones related to the multiple-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib

The solid-state structures of a series of seven substituted 3-methylidene-1H-indol-2(3H)-one derivatives have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and are compared in detail. Six of the structures {(3Z)-3-(1H-pyrrol-2- ylmethylidene)-1H-indol-2(3H)-one, C13H10N2O, (2a); (3Z)-3-( 2-thienylmethylidene)-1H-indol-2(3H)-one, C13H9NOS, (2b); (3E)-3-(2-furylmethylidene)-1H-indol-2(3H)-one monohydrate, C13H9NO2 center dot H2O, (3a); 3-(1-methylethylidene)-1H-indol- 2(3H)-one, C11H11NO, (4a); 3-cyclohexylidene-1H-indol- 2(3H)-one, C14H15NO, (4c); and spiro[1,3-dioxane-2,3'-indolin]- 2'-one, C11H11NO3, (5)} display, as expected, intermolecular hydrogen bonding (N-H center dot center dot center dot O=C) between the 1H-indol-2(3H)-one units. However, methyl 3-(1-methylethylidene)- 2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-1-carboxylate, C13H13NO3, (4b), a carbamate analogue of (4a) lacking an N-H bond, displays no intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The structure of (4a) contains three molecules in the asymmetric unit, while (4b) and (4c) both contain two independent molecules.

Topological Descriptors in Modeling the HIV Inhibitory Activity of 2-Aryl-3-pyridyl-thiazolidin-4-ones

The HIV-1 RT inhibitory activity of 2-(2,6-dihalophenyl)-3-(substituted pyridin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-ones has been analyzed with different topological descriptors obtained from DRAGON software. Here, simple topological descriptors (TOPO), Galvez topological charge indices (GVZ) and 2D autocorrelation descriptors (2DAUTO) have been found to yield good predictive models for the activity of these compounds. The correlations obtained from the TOPO class descriptors suggest that less extended or compact saturated structural templates would be better for the activity. The participating GVZ class descriptors suggest that they have same degree of influence on the activity. In 2DAUTO class, the large participation of descriptors of lags seven and three indicate the association of activity information with the seven and three centered structural fragments of these compounds. The physicochemical weighting components of these descriptors suggest homogeneous influence of mass, volume, electronegativity and/ or polarizability on the activity.

Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of Highly Substituted Thiophene Library from 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds

A faccile and efficient one-pot synthesis of highly substituted thiophenes has been developed and employed for the preparation of a small focused library. Treatment of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 1 with CS2 in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF at room temperature, followed by stepwise addition of alkyl bromides 2 and methylene active bromides 3, provided via intramolecular cyclization 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted thiophenes 4 in yields of 77-94%. This protocol, combining construction and modification of the thiophene ring, increases the structural diversity of final products from readily available materials. A mechanism for the one-pot synthesis of thiophenes of type 4 has been proposed. A small focused library of thiophenes is prepared using the sequential addition of reagents to achieve unique substitution in the 2 and 5 position of the thiophene ring

Synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolidines via palladium-catalyzed cyclization of 5-vinyloxazolidinones and activated alkenes

N-Tosyl-5,5-divinyloxazolidin-2-one undergoes a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclization across a range of electrophilic alkenes to give the corresponding pyrrolidine derivatives bearing two contiguous quaternary centres. Alkenes bearing two electron-withdrawing groups are required; pyrrolidines were not formed from mono-activated alkenes. Bulky, electron-rich phosphines promote pyrrolidine formation with less highly electrophilic, doubly activated alkenes, and a dramatic improvement is observed in the presence of iodide.

New layered double hydroxides intercalated with substituted pyrroles. 2. 3-(Pyrrol-1-yl)-propanoate and 7-(pyrrol-1-yl)-heptanoate LDHs

We report the synthesis and characterization of organic-inorganic hybrid materials: Zn-2-Al-LDHs (layered double hydroxides) containing 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-propanoate and 7-(1H-pyrrol-l-yl)-heptanoate as the interlayer anions. The LDHs were synthesized by the co-precipitation method at constant pH followed by hydrothermal treatment for 72 h. The materials were characterized by PXRD, C-13 CP-MAS NMR, TGA, and ESR. The basal spacing found by PXRD technique is coincident with the formation of bilayers of the intercalated anions. The solid state C-13 NMR showed that the interlayered anions remain identical after intercalation. ESR data suggest that the monomers connect each other in a limited number of guests when a thermal treatment is applied. The inorganic LDH sheets delay the temperature of degradation of the monomers.

Towards NIR emission: 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)pyridine as versatile ligand for the synthesis of two new families of cationic and neutral Ir(III) complexes.

In the last decades, cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes have drawn a large interest for their unique properties: they are excellent triplet state emitters, thus the emission is phosphorescent in nature; typically high quantum yields and good stability make them good candidates for luminescent materials. Moreover, through an opportune choice of the ligands, it is possible to tune the emission along the whole visible spectra. Thanks to these interesting features, Ir(III) complexes have found different applications in several areas of applied science, from OLEDs to bioimaging. In particular, regarding the second application, a remarkable red-shift in the emission is required, in order to minimize the problem of the tissue penetration and the possible damages for the organisms. With the aim of synthesizing a new family of NIR emitting Ir(III) complexes, we envisaged the possibility to use for the first time 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)pyridine as bidentate ligand able to provide the required red-shift of the emission of the final complexes. Exploiting the versatility of the ligand, I prepared two different families of heteroleptic Ir(III) complexes. In detail, in the first case the 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)pyridine was used as bis-chelating N^N ligand, leading to cationic complexes, while in the second case it was used as cyclometalating C^N ligand, giving neutral complexes. The structures of the prepared molecules have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Moreover, the neutral complexes’ emissive properties have been measured: emission spectra have been recorded in solution at both room temperature and 77K, as well as in PMMA matrix. DFT calculation has then been performed and the obtained results have been compared to experimental ones.

Síntese de novas 3,4-diidropirimidin-2(1H)-onas graxas e estudo da atividade antitumoral

Neste trabalho foi realizada a síntese de novas 3,4-diidropirimidinonas funcionalizadas com diferentes cadeias graxas. Para a síntese destes compostos os β-cetoésteres graxos foram obtidos a partir da transesterificação do acetoacetato de metila na presença dos álcoois palmítico (2a), esteárico (2b) e oleico (2c), utilizando como catalisador I2 e ácido sulfâmico (NH3SO3). Os compostos foram obtidos com rendimentos de 97%, 90% e 60%, respectivamente. Após, a reação multicomponente de Biginelli foi realizada na presença de InCl3 utilizando os β- cetoésteres graxos 3a-c, os aldeídos aromáticos, benzaldeído, 3-hidroxi benzaldeído e 4-dimetilaminobenzaldeído, na presença de uréia ou tiouréia, levando às 3,4- diidropirimidinonas graxas 5-substituídas 6-11a-c em rendimentos que variaram entre 60–94%. Todos os compostos, ainda inéditos na literatura, foram caracterizados por espectroscopia de infravermelho (IV) e ressonância magnética nuclear de hidrogênio (RMN ¹H) e carbono (RMN ¹³C). A análise do efeito das novas 3,4-diidropirimidin-2(1H)-onas graxas pelo método do MTT na linhagem de glioma C6 rato e UG-138 humana demonstrou uma maior diminuição da viabilidade celular para os compostos graxos contendo as cadeias palmítica e oleica derivados da tiouréia e do 3-hidroxi benzaldeído, respectivamente. Comportamento semelhante foi observado para os compostos contendo as cadeias palmítica e oleica, porém derivados da uréia. Uma diminuição significativa da viabilidade celular, porém em menor grau, foi observada para os compostos graxos contendo as cadeias palmítica e oleica derivados da uréia e do benzaldeído. Os resultados mostraram até o momento que os derivados graxos contendo a cadeia oleica na posição 5 do anel diidropirimídinico derivado do 3- hidroxi benzaldeído e da tiouréia apresentaram maior atividade na diminuição da viabilidade celular de linhagem de glioma.
