Síntese e reatividade de derivados de quinoxalina visando aplicações como quimiossensores e estudo cinético por análise de imagens

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, as quinoxaline derivatives, has being shown to be relevant and promissor due to expressive applications in biological and technological areas. This work was dedicated to the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of quinoxaline derivatives in order to obtain new chemosensors. (L)-Ascorbic acid (1) and 2,3-dichloro-6,7- dinitroquinoxalina (2) were explored as synthetic precursors. Starting from synthesis of 1 and characterization of compounds derived from (L)-ascorbic acid, studies were performed investigating the application of products as chemosensors, in which compound 36 demonstrated selective affinity for Cu2+ íons in methanolic solution, by naked-eye (colorimetric) and UVvisible analyses. Further, initial analysis suggests that 39 a Schiff’s base derived from 36 also presents this feature. Five quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized from building block 2 through nucleophilic aromatic substitution by aliphatic amines, in which controlling the experimental conditions allows to obtain both mono- and di-substituted derivatives. Reactivity studies were carried out with two purposes: i) investigate the possibility of 47 compound being a chemosensor for anion, based on its interaction with sodium hydroxide in DMSO, using image analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy; ii) characterize kinetically the conversion of compound 44 into 46 based on RGB and multivariate image analysis from TLC data, as a simple and inexpensive qualitative and quantitative tool.

2-(2-Nitroanilino)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile

The title compound, C(16)H(15)N(3)O(2)S, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile and o-fluoronitrobenzene. The thiophene and nitrophenyl rings and amino and carbonitrile groups are coplanar with a maximum deviation of 0.046 (2) angstrom and a dihedral angle of 0.92 (6)degrees between the rings. The cyclohepta ring adopts a chair conformation. Intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot S interactions occur. In the crystal, the molecules form layers that are linked by pi-pi stacking interactions between the thiophene and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7089 (12) and 3.6170 (12) angstrom].

2-(4,5,6,7-tetrafluorobenzimidazol-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl, a hydrogen-bonded organic quasi-1D ferromagnet

The title radical (F4BlmNN) is a stable nitronylnitroxide that forms hydrogen-bonded NH center dot center dot center dot ON chains in the solid state. The chains assemble the F4BlmNN molecules to form stacked contacts between the radical groups, in a geometry that is expected to exhibit ferromagnetic (FM) exchange based on spin polarization (SP) models. The experimental magnetic susceptibility of F4BlmNN confirms the expectation, showing 1-D Heisenberg chain FM exchange behavior over 1.8-300 K with an intrachain exchange constant Of J(chain)/k = +22 K. At lower temperatures, ac magnetic susceptibility and variable field heat capacity measurements show that F4BlmNN acts as a quasi-1-D ferromagnet. The dominant ferromagnetic exchange interaction is attributable to overlap between spin orbitals of molecules within the hydrogen-bonded chains, consistent with the SP model expectations. The chains appear to be antiferromagnetically exchange coupled, giving cusps in the ac susceptibility and zero field heat capacity at lower temperatures. The results indicate that the sample orders magnetically at about 0.7 K. The magnetic heat capacity ordering cusp shifts to lower temperatures as external magnetic field increases, consistent with forming a bulk antiferromagnetic phase below a Neel temperature of T-N(0) = 0.72 K, with a critical field of H-c approximate to 1800 Oe. The interchain exchange is estimated to be zJ/k congruent to (-)0.1 K.

Expeditious synthesis of 5,6,7 ,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a ] pyrimidin-2-ones and 3,4,6,7 ,8,9-hexahydro-pyrimido[,2-a ] pyrimidin-2-ones

A convenient synthesis of new 5,6,7 ,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[ 1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones and 3,4,6,7 ,8,9-hexahydro-pyrimido[1 ,2a]pyrimidin-2- ones from the Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylonitrile and their derivatives is described. A common strategy employed to achieve the syntheses of title compounds involved generation of diamines from different Baylis-Hillman derivatives followed by treatment with cyanogen bromide at reflux temperature to trigger a double intramolecular cyclization.

Traumatic brain damage prevented by the non-N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoylbenzo[f] quinoxaline.

The mechanisms of neuronal degeneration following traumatic head injury are not well understood and no adequate treatment is currently available for the prevention of traumatic brain damage in humans. Traumatic head injury leads to primary (at impact) and secondary (distant) damage to the brain. Mechanical percussion of the rat cortex mimics primary damage seen after traumatic head injury in humans; no animal model mimicking the secondary damage following traumatic head injury has yet been established. Rats subjected to percussion trauma of the cortex showed primary damage in the cortex and secondary damage in the hippocampus. Morphometric analysis demonstrated that both cortical and hippocampal damage was mitigated by pretreatment with either the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist 3-((+/-)- 2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonate (CPP) or the non-NMDA antagonist 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo[f]quinoxaline (NBQX). Neither treatment prevented primary damage in the cortex when therapy was started after trauma. Surprisingly, delayed treatment of rats with NBQX, but not with CPP, beginning between 1 and 7 hr after trauma prevented hippocampal damage. No protection was seen when therapy with NBQX was started 10 hr after trauma. These data indicate that both NMDA- and non-NMDA-dependent mechanisms contribute to the development of primary damage in the cortex, whereas non-NMDA mechanisms are involved in the evolution of secondary damage in the hippocampus in rats subjected to traumatic head injury. The wide therapeutic time-window documented for NBQX suggests that antagonism at non-NMDA receptors may offer a novel therapeutic approach for preventing deterioration of the brain after head injury.

Anti-trypanosomal activity of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β -D-glucose isolated from Plectranthus barbatus Andrews (Lamiaceae)

MeOH extract from the leaves of Plectranthus barbatus Andrews (Lamiaceae), showed in vitro anti-trypanosomal activity. The bioassay-guided fractionation resulted in the isolation of a gallic acid derivative, identified as 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (PGG), after thorough NMR and MS spectral analysis. Finally, this compound was tested against trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi and displayed an EC50 value of 67 µM, at least 6.6-fold more effective than the standard drug benznidazole. This is the first occurrence of PGG in the Plectranthus genus and the first anti-parasitic activity described for PGG in the literature.

SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SPIRO[INDOLINE-3,4’-PYRANO[2,3-C:6,5-C’]DIPYRAZOL]- 2-ONES IN THE PRESENCE OF SBA-Pr-SO3H AS A NANOCATALYST

Sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 nanoporous material (SBA-Pr-SO3H) with a large pore size of 6 nm, a high surface area, high selectivity, and excellent chemical and thermal stability was applied as an efficient heterogeneous nanoporous acid catalyst in the reaction of isatin with pyrazolones under mild reaction conditions. A novel class of symmetrical spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrano[2,3-c:6,5-c']dipyrazol]-2-one derivatives was successfully obtained in high yields. Comparison of these results with those reported in the literature shows that the current method is efficient, and results in better reaction times and yields of the desired products. Other advantages of this new method are its operational simplicity, easy work-up procedure, and the use of SBA-Pr-SO3H as a reusable and environmentally benign nanoreactor, such that the reaction proceeds easily in its nanopores. We also tested the antimicrobial activity of the prepared compounds using the disc diffusion method, and some of the synthesized compounds exhibited the best results against B. subtilis and S. aureus.

Redox chemistry and electronic properties of 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine-bridged diruthenium complexes controlled by N,C,N '-biscyclometalated ligands

To investigate the consequences of cyclometalation for electronic communication in dinuclear ruthenium complexes, a series of 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz) bridged diruthenium complexes was prepared and studied. These complexes have a central tppz ligand bridging via nitrogen-to-ruthenium coordination bonds, while each ruthenium atom also binds either a monoanionic, N,C,N'-terdentate 2,6-bis(2'-pyridyl)phenyl (R-N boolean AND C boolean AND N) ligand or a 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine (tpy) ligand. The N,C,N'-, that is, biscyclometalation, instead of the latter N,N', N ''-bonding motif significantly changes the electronic properties of the resulting complexes. Starting from well-known [{Ru(tpy)}(2)(mu-tppz)](4+) (tpy = 2,2':2 '',6-terpyridine) ([3](4+)) as a model compound, the complexes [{Ru(R-N boolean AND C boolean AND N)}(mu-tppz){Ru(tpy)}](3+) (R-N boolean AND C(H)boolean AND N = 4-R-1,3-dipyridylbenzene, R = H ([4a](3+)), CO2Me ([4b](3+))), and [{Ru(R-N boolean AND C boolean AND N)}(2)(mu-tppz)](2+), (R = H ([5a](2+)), CO2Me ([5b](2+))) were prepared with one or two N,C,N'-cyclometalated terminal ligands. The oxidation and reduction potentials of cyclometalated [4](3+) and [5](2+) are shifted negatively compared to non-cyclometalated [3](4+), the oxidation processes being affected more significantly. Compared to [3](4+), the electronic spectra of [5](2+) display large bathochromic shifts of the main MLCT transitions in the visible spectral region with low-energy absorptions tailing down to the NIR region. One-electron oxidation of [3](4+) and [5](2+) gives rise to low-energy absorption bands. The comproportionation constants and NIR band shape correspond to delocalized Robin-Day class III compounds. Complexes [4a](3+) (R = H) and [4b](3+) (R = CO2Me) also exhibit strong electronic communication, and notwithstanding the large redox-asymmetry the visible metal-to-ligand charge-transfer absorption is assigned to originate from both metal centers. The potential of the first, ruthenium-based, reversible oxidation process is strongly negatively shifted. On the contrary, the second oxidation is irreversible and cyclometalated ligand-based. Upon one-electron oxidation, a weak and low-energy absorption arises.
