Abstract

:
The synthesis of N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-(4-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamides 5a–r via the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between 2-azido-N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetamide derivatives 3a–c and different alkynes were performed in the presence and absence of ultrasound irradiation. The synthesis was carried out using t-BuOH/H2O (1:1, v/v) as reaction solvents and CuSO4·5H2O/sodium ascorbate as the catalyst. The copper catalyst was implemented to provide the regioselective 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles 5a–r. Significant reductions in reaction times with comparably higher yields were observed when the reactions were carried out under ultrasound irradiation. The structures of the newly synthesized 1,2,3-triazoles were elucidated by IR, NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. They were also screened for their antimicrobial activity against three gram-positive (Streptococcus pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus), three gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeuroginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumonia), and two fungal strains (Aspergillus fumigates and Candida albicans). Most of the tested compounds displayed promising antimicrobial activities at a Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) of 4–16 μg/mL.

1. Introduction

Since the conception of “click chemistry” by Sharpless and co-workers, the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles is well-known and has been thoroughly studied [1]. In these reactions, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between organoazides and terminal alkynes carried out under copper-catalyzed conditions have been reported to afford the regioisomeric 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles as the single regioismers [2].
The 1,2,3-triazole core has been recognized as one of the most potent azoles with broad chemotherapeutic properties including antifungal [3], anticancer [4], antitubercular [5], antimalarial [6], anti-inflammatory [7], and antiviral [8] activities, along with the application of the concept of “click-synthesis” for their efficient and quick synthesis.
Benzothiazole and its derivatives have been widely recognized as privileged scaffolds in drug design associated with a wide spectrum of medicinal applications [9,10,11]. These include antimicrobial [12,13,14,15,16], anticancer [17,18,19,20], anthelmintic [21], and antidiabetic [22] activities.
Owing to the interesting advantages of ultrasound in modern heterocyclic synthesis, this eco-friendly approach has been the focus of numerous investigations by several research groups for the design of novel potentially active heterocycles [23,24]. The ultrasound method can serve not only as a good alternative but also facilitate reaction in shorter times with higher yields [25,26].
In order to evaluate the synergistic effect of these heterocyclic moieties in a single molecular framework, and in continuation of the author’s effort to design structurally diverse bioactive polyheterocyclic systems [27,28,29], reported herein is an eco-friendly click synthesis of a library of new regioselective 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles linked to a bioactive benzothiazole moiety through an acetamide linkage under both ultrasound and conventional thermal heating based on literature data [30,31,32,33,34]. The newly synthesized compounds were also subjected to an in vitro antimicrobial screening against several clinical bacterial and fungal strains.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Chemistry

The desired 1,2,3-triazoles-based benzothiazoles were designed and synthesized starting from 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives 1a–c as outlined in Scheme 1 and Scheme 2.
Compounds 2a–c were employed for the synthesis of the starting azidobenzothiazoles 3a–c, needed for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The synthesis of N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-bromoacetamides 2a–c was carried out based on a reported procedure [35] with slight modifications, as depicted in Scheme 1. Thus, compounds 2a–c were synthesized in 83%–88% yields via the acylation of un/substituted aminobenzothiazole 1a–c with bromoacetyl bromide, in the presence of triethylamine in acetonitrile at room temperature. The ultrasound irradiation was also used to construct the same products 2a–c in shorter time (1 h) with higher product yields (89%–92%) compared to the conventional methods (Table 1).
The treatment of 2a–c with sodium azide in a mixture of acetone:water (4:1, v/v) at room temperature for 24 h afforded the corresponding azidobenzothiazoles 3a–c in good to excellent yields (88%–92%), as shown in Scheme 1. It should be noted that compound 3a has been previously synthesized in 90% yield from the alkylation of 1a with the appropriate acid chloride in the presence of triethylamine in dimethylformamide (DMF), followed by nucleophilic substitution with sodium azide [36].
Alternatively, the ultrasound irradiation greatly accelerated the reaction rates under the same reaction conditions. Only 2–3 h were needed to furnish the azido compounds 3a–c in high yields (Table 1).
Initial formation of the N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-bromoacetamides 2a–c was unambiguously confirmed by their spectroscopic data. Their IR spectra clearly showed the disappearance of the amino group and the appearance of strong absorptions near 1695–1700 cm−1 and 3277–3325 cm−1 characteristic of the carbonyl (C=O) and the amide (NH) group, respectively. Moreover, the 1H-NMR spectra exhibited characteristic singlets at δH 4.20–4.27 ppm due to the methylene protons. The amide protons (NH) were observed at δH 6.42–6.48 ppm. The aromatic protons resonated at their expected chemical shift of δH 7.22–8.64 ppm. In addition, the 13C-NMR spectra revealed characteristic signals between δC 28.5–41.7 ppm belonging to the methylene groups. The spectra also revealed the appearance of new signals at 165.4–166.7 ppm attributed to the carbonyl groups, which is another piece of evidence of the incorporation of the acetyl moiety in their structures.
The structures of the synthesized azido derivatives 3a–c were also illustrated on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Their IR spectra exhibited an absorption band near 2105–2122 cm−1, confirming the presence of the azido group in their structures. Compounds 3a–c exhibited practically similar 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral patterns to those observed for their precursors 2a–c (See experimental section).
Huisgen copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions between the azido benzothiazoles 3a–c and the appropriate terminal alkynes 4a–f were performed under both conventional and ultrasound conditions to generate 5a–r, a new library of 1,4-disubstiuted 1,2,3-triazoles linked via an acetamide connecting unit to benzothiazoles (Scheme 2). The easy access to a variety of acetylenic compounds (4a–f) allowed the incorporation of several functionalities into the triazole scaffold of 5a–r.
The reaction required heating at 100 °C for 6–10 h, in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and sodium ascorbate using t-BuOH/H2O (1:1, v/v) as solvents. Whereas only 3–6 h were needed to give the same products in comparable yields when the reactions were assisted by ultrasound irradiation at room temperature (Table 2). In the present study, CuSO4/sodium ascorbate was selected as the catalyst system to yield the regioisomeric 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles as the sole regioisomer product. These results were in agreement with those previously reported for the successful green ultrasound-assisted synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles, where the best results were obtained when using t-BuOH/H2O as the medium and CuSO4/sodium ascorbate as the catalyst [30,31,32,33,34].
All of the newly synthesized triazoles 5a–r were fully characterized using IR, NMR, and MS and elemental analysis. Their structures were in accordance with their spectroscopic properties. Their IR spectra showed the disappearance of the absorption bands attributed to the azido and the acetylenic groups of the corresponding starting materials, which confirmed their involvement in the cycloaddition reaction.
Moreover, the 1H-NMR spectra showed the absence of the acetylenic protons and the appearance of the diagnostic singlets at δH 7.72–8.71 and δH 12.67–12.99 ppm attributed to the triazolic proton and the amidic NH proton, respectively, supporting the proposed 1,2,3-triazole structures. In addition, their 13C-NMR spectra were consistent with the designed structures, the disappearance of the sp carbons provided additional evidence for the success of the cycloaddition reaction. In addition, the 1H-NMR spectra of compounds 5a–c, 5g–i, and 5m–o revealed the presence of five and/or ten extra aromatic protons, depending on the nature of substitution on N-1 of the triazole ring. The characteristic signals at δH 4.50–6.80 ppm were attributed to the 1,2,3-triazole derivatives carrying the hydroxy group.
In addition, all aliphatic protons and carbons resonated at the expected chemical shifts in the 1H-NMR spectra of triazoles 5d, 5j and 5p, the trimethylsilyl group appeared at δH 0.28–0.34 ppm corresponding to nine protons, and at δC 0.3–0.5 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra for the three methyl groups.

2.2. Biology

Antimicrobial Activity

The antibacterial and antifungal inhibition effects of the title compounds 2a–c, 3a–c and 5a–r against a panel of pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains were determined using the broth dilution method [37,38]. The Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) screening results are given in Table 3, and Ciprofloxacin and Fluconazole were used as control drugs. The antimicrobial screening results revealed that the precursors 2a–c used for further derivatization were basically inactive against all of the fungal strains, but exhibited modest antibacterial activity at MIC 16–31.25 μg/mL.
The azidolysis of compounds 2a–c to their corresponding azido benzothiazoles 3a–c caused no enhancement of the antibacterial and antifungal activities. However, as expected, the 1,2,3-triazoles 5a–r were more potent than the corresponding azidobenzothiazoles 3a–c. Among them, N-1 hydroxylated alkyl substituted triazoles 5e, 5f, 5k, 5l, 5q, and 5r exhibited the highest antibacterial activity at MIC 4–8 μg/mL and antifungal activity at MIC 4–16 μg/mL.
Moreover, the presence of a sulfonyl group in the benzothiazole residue of compounds 4a–r was found to significantly increase the antimicrobial activity towards all of the tested pathogenic strains at MIC 4–16 μg/mL.
Based on the preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis, it can be stated that the incorporation of a 1,2,3-triazole nucleus in the benzothiazole structure significantly improved the antimicrobial activities of the resulting biheterocyclic systems 5a–r, especially when the 1,2,3-triazole was substituted with hydroxylated alkyl side chain at position 1. In addition, it must be noted that among all of the tested compounds, those with methylsulfonyl substitution in the benzothiazole ring 5q and 5r exhibited the highest inhibition against all of the tested microorganisms.

3.1. General

All melting points were measured on a variable heater (Stuart, UK) melt-temp apparatus and are uncorrected. Sonochemical reactions were performed in a Kunshan KQ-250B ultrasound cleaner (50 KHz, 240 W, Kunshan, China). The NMR spectra were measured with an Avance Bruker spectrotometer (Fällanden, Switzerland) at 400 MHz for the 1H-NMR analysis and at 100 MHz for the 1H-NMR analysis, using Tetramethylsilane (TMS) (0.00 ppm) as the internal standard and DMSO-d6 as a solvent. The IR spectra were measured in a KBr matrix with a Perkin-Elmer 1430 series FTIR spectrometer (Boston, MA, USA). A Finnigan MAT 95XL spectrometer (Darmstadt, Germany) was used for the determination of the EI mass spectra. Elemental analyses were performed using a GmbH-Vario EL III Element Analyzer (Munich, Germany).

3.5. Antimicrobial Activity

The antimicrobial inhibition potency of the newly synthesized benzothiazoles was estimated in terms of minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) by using the Broth Microdilution method [37,38]. Each compound was tested against clinical bacterial and fungal strains; (Streptococcus pneumonia RCMB 010010, Bacillus subtilis RCMB 010067, Staphylococcus aureus RCMB 010025, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa RCMB 010043, Escherichia coli RCMB 010052, Klebsiella pneumonia RCMB 010058, Aspergillus fumigates RCMB 02568 and Candida albicans RCMB 05036), and were obtained from the RCMB culture collection (Regional Center for Mycology and Biotechnology). The isolated clinical strains were subcultured on Mueller-Hinton Broth for bacteria and Sabouraud Liquid Broth for fungi. The stock solution of all compounds were prepared by dissolving 10 mg of the tested compound in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 1 mL). Progressive dilutions with distilled water gave the final concentrations of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 mg·mL−1. All the inoculated tubes were incubated at 37 °C for 24 h.

4. Conclusions

This study reports on the synthesis of novel bioactive antibacterial and antifungal agents based on a 1,2,3-triazole-benzothiazole combined system under both conventional and ultrasound conditions. The synthesis approach required Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition coupling between the appropriate 2-azido-N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetamides with a variety of terminal alkynes, to afford regioselectively novel 1,2,3-triazoles tethering a benzothiazole moiety. Comparable to higher yields were obtained when the reactions were conducted under ultrasound irradiation with a significant reduction in the reaction times. The antimicrobial screening results revealed that the presence of the 1,2,3-triazole nucleus in the acetamido-benzothiazole scaffold resulted in increased antibacterial and antifungal activities.
