Abstract

:
A novel series of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 5-arylazothiazoles and hexahydropyrimido-[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines were synthesized via reaction of hydrazonoyl halides with each of alkyl carbothioates, carbothioamides and 7-thioxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrimido-[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in the presence of triethylamine. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established based on their spectral data, elemental analyses and alternative synthetic routes whenever possible. Also, the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms.

1. Introduction

Hydrazonoyl halides have been widely used as reagents for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, both through condensation reactions, and as precursors of nitrilimines, which can undergo cycloaddition with dipolarophiles [1,2]. 1,3,4-Thiadiazoles are among the most common heterocyclic pharmacophores. They display a broad spectrum of biological activities, including antimicrobial [3] anticancer [4,5], antioxidant [6], antidepressant [7], anticonvulsant [8,9], and antihypertensive activity [10] as well as acetylcholinesterase inhibition for the treatment of Alzheimer disease [11,12]. In addition, thiazoles can found in drugs developed for the treatment of allergies [13], hypertension [14], inflammation [15], schizophrenia [16], bacterial infections [17], HIV [18], sleep disorders [19] and more recently, for the treatment of pain [20], as fibrinogen receptor antagonists with antithrombotic activity [21], and as new inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase B [22]. 1,2,4-Triazolopyrimidines have also attracted growing interest due to their important pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, antimalarial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal properties, and their potency in macrophage activation [23,24,25,26,27].

2. Results and Discussion

Treatment of methyl 2-methylenehydrazinecarbodithioates 3a and [28] 4a with ethyl 2-chloro-2-(2-phenylhydrazono)acetate (5a) in ethanol containing triethylamine gave ethyl 5-({[1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methylene}hydrazono)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-caboxylates 9a and 10a, respectively (Scheme 1). The structure 9a was established by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and alternative syntheses. Thus, (5E)-ethyl 5-hydrazono-4,5-dihydro-4-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxylate [29] (11) was reacted with 1a and 1b to give products identical in all aspects (m.p., mixed m.p. and spectra) with 9a and 10a, respectively. In addition, benzyl 2-((1-phenyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-methylene)-hydrazine-1-carbodithioate (3b) was reacted with 5a in ethanolic triethylamine to give a product identical in all aspects (m.p., mixed m.p. and spectra) with 9a. In light of the foregoing results, the mechanism outlined in Scheme 1 seems to be the most plausible pathway for the formation of 9 from the reaction of the 5 with 3a or 3b. The reaction involves initial formation of thiohydrazonate 7, which undergoes intermolecular cyclization directly to yield intermediate 8 or via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimine 6 (generated in situ from 5 with triethylamine) to the C=S of 3 or 4 to yield intermediate 8. Formations of 7 and 8 are similar to the reaction of hydrazonoyl chloride with 1-phenyl-1,4-dihydrotetrazole-5-thione [30] and 5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2(3H)-thione [31]. Intermediate 8 was converted to 9 by elimination of alkyl mercaptan. Analogously, 5b, 5c were reacted separately with 3a, 3b, 4a or 4b in ethanolic triethyamine to afford 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 9bc and 10ac, respectively (Scheme 1).
Treatment of 3-(furan-2-yl)-1-(p-tolyl)prop-2-en-1-one (12a), 1-(furan-2-yl)-3-(3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (12b), 3-(3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(p-tolyl)prop-2-en-1-one (12c), 3-(1-phenyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(p-tolyl)prop-2-en-1-one (12d), 1,3-di(furan-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (12e) and 1-(furan-2-yl)-3-(1-phenyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one (12f) with thiosemicarbazide in boiling ethanol containing potassium hydroxide gave 5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide (13a), 3’,5-di(furan-2-yl)-1’-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-1’H,2H-[3,4’-bipyrazole]-2-carbothioamide (13b), 3’-(furan-2-yl)-1’-phenyl-5-(p-tolyl)-3,4-dihydro-1’H,2H-[3,4’-bipyrazole]-2-carbothioamide (13c), 1’-phenyl-3’,5-di-p-tolyl-3,4-dihydro-1’H,2H-[3,4’-bipyrazole]-2-carbothioamide (13d), 3,5-di(furan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide (13e) and 5-(furan-2-yl)-1’-phenyl-3’-(p-tolyl)-3,4-dihydro-1’H,2H-[3,4’-bipyrazole]-2-carbothioamide (13f), respectively (Scheme 2).
Thus, thioamide 13a was reacted with the hydrazonoyl halides 5b and 5c in boiling ethanol containing triethylamine to give 2-(5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-methyl-5-(phenyldiazenyl)thiazole (14a) and 2-(5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-phenyl-5-(phenyldiazenyl)thiazole (15a), respectively (Scheme 3). Thus, benzenediazonium chloride was reacted with 2-(5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-phenyl-thiazole (16), which was prepared via the reaction of 12a with 2-hydrazinyl-4-phenylthiazole [32] (17) or the reaction of compound 13a with ω-bromoacetophenone in pyridine at 0–5 °C to give a product identical in all aspects (mp., mixed mp. and spectra) with 15a (Scheme 3).
Analogously, treatment of the appropriate 13bf with the hydrazonoyl halides 5b and 5c in boiling ethanol containing triethylamine afforded 2-substituted-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-subsituted-5-(phenyldiazenyl)thiazoles 14bf and 15bf, respectively (Scheme 4).
On the other hand, treatment of ethyl 2-chloro-2-(2-phenylhydrazono)acetate (5a) with 5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide (13a), in boiling ethanol containing triethylamine gave one isolable product according to TLC and proved to be 2-(5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(2-phenylhydrazono)thiazol-4(5H)-one (18a). Also, benzenediazonium was reacted with 2-(5-(furan-2-yl)-3-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-5(4H)-one (19), which was prepared via the reaction of ethyl chloroacetate with 13a, in ethanolic sodium acetate solution at 0–5 °C to afford a product identical in all aspects (mp, mixed mp and spectra) with 18a (Scheme 5)
Similarly, carbothioamides 13bd, and 13f were reacted with C-ethoxycarbonyl-N-phenylhydrazonyl chloride in ethanolic triethylamine to give the corresponding thiazolone derivatives 18be, respectively (Scheme 6).
In further experiments treatment of 5a with 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,3-dimethyl-5-(1-phenyl-3-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-thioxopyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 20 in boiling chloroform containing triethylamine produced ethyl 2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,7-hexahydro-pyrimido[5,4-e]-[1,2,4]-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-9-carboxylate 26a in good yields (Scheme 7).
The 1H-NMR spectrum of 26a showed a triplet at δ 1.18 due to methyl group of ethyl ester, a singlet at δ 2.33 of tolyl methyl group, a singlet at δ 3.33 from the two pyrimidinedione methyl groups, a quartet at δ 4.13 due to the methylene of ethyl ester, a singlet at δ 5.62 that corresponding to the pyrimidine H-4 and a multiplet at δ 6.90–7.83 that account for 14 aromatic protons and H-5 of pyrazole. In the IR spectrum, an absorption peak at 1650 cm−1 corresponding to conjugated carbonyl groups and an absorption near at 1615 cm−1 could account for the presence of the imino group.
The mechanism outlined in scheme 7 seems to be the most plausible pathway for the formation of 26a from the reaction of 5 with 20: (1) 1,3-addition of the thiol tautomer 21 to the nitrilimine 6a would give the thiohydrazonate ester 22 which could undergo nucleophilic cyclization to yield spiro compounds 23. The latter ring could then open and cyclize to yield 26a with loss of hydrogen sulfide; and (2) 1,3-cycloaddition of nitrilimine 6a to C=S of 20 would directly yield 22 (cf., Scheme 7). Attempts to isolate the thiohydrazonate ester 22 or intermediates 23 and 24 did not succeed even under mild conditions as they readily undergo in situ cyclization followed by elimination of hydrogen sulfide to give the final product 26 in Scheme 7.
Analogously, reaction of 20 with each of 5b and 5d afforded 3-acetyl-7,9-dimethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-phenyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5,9-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-6,8(1H,7H)-dione (26b) and 7,9-dimethyl-6,8-dioxo-N,1-diphenyl-5-(1-phenyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide (26c), respectively. Based on the above results, structure 25 was ruled out. This structural assignment was also consistent with literature reports which indicated that reaction of hydrazonoyl halides with 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-one yielded regioselectively the corresponding 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives [33]. Additionally, treatment of 5-(3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3-dimethyl-7-thioxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (27) with the hydrazonoyl chlorides 5a and 5d in boiling chloroform in the presence of triethylamine afforded ethyl 5-(3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-7-phenyl-1,2,3,4,5,7-hexahydro-pyrimido[5,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-9-carboxylate (28a) and 5-(3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-N,7-diphenyl-1,2,3,4,5,7-hexahydro-pyrimido[5,4-e][1,2,4]-triazol[4,3-a]pyrimidine-9-carboxamide (28b), respectively (Scheme 8).

3. Antimicrobial Activity

Twenty seven of the newly synthesized target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis as examples of Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli as examples of Gram-negative bacteria. They were also evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against a representative panel of fungal strains i.e., Aspergillus fumigatus, and Candida albicans. Ampicillin, Gentamicin and Amphotericin B are used as reference drugs for in vitro antibacterial activity and for in vitro antifungal activity, respectively, at The Regional Center for Mycology and Biotechnology at Al-Azhar University (Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt). The results of testing for antimicrobial effects are summarized in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3.
Compound 9a had no activity against Aspergillus fumigates, Candida albicans, Streptococcus pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli.
  • Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were resistant to compounds 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, and 14f.
  • Aspergillus fumigatus was susceptible to compounds 13b, 14b, 15b, and 15c when compared to the Amphotericin B standard.
  • Candida albicans was susceptible to compound 13b when compared to the Amphotericin B standard.
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae was susceptible to compounds 13b, and 14b when compared to the Ampicillin standard.
  • Bacillus subtilis was susceptible to compounds 13b, 14b, and 15b when compared to the Ampicillin standard.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa was susceptible to compounds 13b, 15a, and 26d when compared to their standard Gentamicin.
  • Escherichia coli was susceptible to compounds 10a, 13b, 14b, 15f, and 28a when compared to the Gentamicin standard.
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that will inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation. Minimum inhibitory concentrations are important in diagnostic laboratories to confirm resistance of microorganisms to an antimicrobial agent and also to determine the potency of new antimicrobial agents [34]. A MIC is generally regarded as the most basic laboratory measurement of the activity of an antimicrobial agent against an organism [35]. MIC was determined by the broth micro dilution method using 96-well micro-plates [36,37]. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed an the same as the MIC value of 12.5 mg/mL of the tested compound 13b suggesting high inhibitory activity compared to that of Gentamicin. Also, compound 10a showed an MIC value of 3.9 against Escherichia coli which was the same MIC value of Gentamicin against Escherichia coli (Table 2).
The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) is a measure of the effectiveness of a substance in inhibiting a specific biological or biochemical function. This quantitative measure indicates how much of a particular substance is needed to inhibit a given biological process by half. And here the biological function is the growth of microorganisms Aspergillus fumigatus, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Geotrichum candidum, Candida albicans, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli (Table 3).

4.2. Antimicrobial Activity Assay

Chemical compounds under investigation were individually tested against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria pathogens, and fungi. Antimicrobial tests were carried out using the agar well-diffusion method [46]. After the media had cooled and solidified, wells (6 mm in diameter) were made in the solidified agar, after that microbial inoculum was uniformly spread using sterile cotton swab on a sterile Petri dish containing nutrient agar (NA) medium or Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) media for bacteria and fungi, respectively. A 100 µL solution was prepared from 1 mL of DMSO by dissolving 1 mg of the compound. The inoculated plates were then incubated for 24 h at 37 °C for bacteria and yeast, 48 h at 28 °C for fungi. Negative controls were prepared using DMSO employed for dissolving the tested compound. Amphotericin B (1 mg/mL), ampicillin (1 mg/mL), and gentamicin (1 mg/mL) were used as standards for bacteria and fungi, respectively. After incubation, antimicrobial activity was evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition against tested microorganisms. Antimicrobial activity was expressed as inhibition diameter zones in millimeters (mm). The experiment was carried out in triplicate and the average zones of inhibition ± S.D were calculated.

5. Conclusions

New series of novel functionalized 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 1,3-thiazoles, and pyrimido[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines containing pyrazole moieties were synthesized using hydrazonoyl halides as precursors and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial, and antifungal activities. From the screening results, it can be seen Aspergillus fumigatus was susceptible to compounds 12b, 13b, 14b, 15b, and 15c when compared to the amphotericin B standard. Candida albicans was susceptible to compounds 12b and 13b when compared to the amphotericin B standard. Streptococcus pneumoniae was susceptible to compounds 12b, 13b, and 14b when compared to an ampicillin standard. Bacillus subtilis was susceptible to compounds 13b, 14b, and 15b when compared to ampicillin standard. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was susceptible to compounds 12b, 13b, 15a, and 26d when compared to Gentamicin standard. Escherichia coli was susceptible to compounds 10a, 12b, 13b, 14b, 15f, and 28a when compared to the gentamicin standard.
