Synthesis, Structure and Molecular Docking of New 4,5-Dihydrothiazole Derivatives Based on 3,5-Dimethylpyrazole and Cytisine and Salsoline Alkaloids

The interaction results of 1,2-dibromo-3-isothiocyanatopropane with some pyrazoles as well as cytisine and salsoline alkaloids were presented in this paper. It was shown that the reaction resulted in one one-step and rather mild method for the preparation of the corresponding 1,3-thiazoline bromomethyl derivatives. The yield of this reaction was affected by the presence of a base and an order in which reagents were added. Molecular docking of the synthesized 1,3-thiazoline derivatives for putative antibacterial activity was carried out using the penicillin-binding target protein (PBP4) of the bacteria E. coli “Homo sapiens” and S. aureus “Homo sapiens” as an example. Molecular docking demonstrated that the compounds had insignificant binding energies at the level of selected reference drugs (Cephalotin and Chloramphenicol). The presence of natural alkaloids in the structure of thiazoline derivatives somewhat increased the affinity of these substrates for target proteins selected.


Introduction
The number of publications related to the synthesis and investigation of the biological activity of various thiazoles and their derivatives has recently increased. Thiazoles are five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms. The thiazole itself exhibits high aromaticity. Hydrogenated thiazoles, namely 1,3-thiazoline and 1,3-thiazolidine, do not have aromatic properties. Hantzsch synthesis based on the reaction between α-haloketones (or α-haloaldehydes) with thioamides is one of the well-known methods for thiazole derivatives preparation [1][2][3][4]. To obtain dihydrothiazoles (thiazoline, thiazolidine) thiazole reduction methods are not applied, but intramolecular cyclizations of the corresponding thioamides are mainly put to use.
Considerable interest in the synthesis of various thiazole derivatives is also associated with the discovery of their semiconductor properties, which determine their possible application in organic electronics as efficient solar cells and organic semiconductors [23,24].
The combination of other physiologically active groups in the heterocyclic compounds structure can lead not only to an increase in the main therapeutic effect, but also to the emergence of new types of biological activity [39]. It is also known that many nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are used in pharmaceutical practice as broadspectrum drugs [40][41][42]. Pyrazole derivatives occupy a special place among them due to the greater preparative availability. In recent years, this has been caused by the increasing use of its derivatives as drugs, dyes, luminescent and fluorescent substances [43]. Pyrazole derivatives have proven to be effective pharmaceuticals with a variety of therapeutic activities, such as Mepirizole and Fezolamine (Figure 2), showing anti-inflammatory and antidepressant activities [44,45]. And, of course, among pyrazole derivatives, there are found substituted antipyrines (1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-5-pyrazolone) synthesized more than half a century ago, namely Aminophenazone and Metamizole, which exhibit antipyretic and analgesic effects [46,47] (Figure 2). To date, there has been accumulated a huge amount of literature material on a wide range of biological activities of many other synthetic thiazole derivatives, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, herbicidal, anthelmintic, antiparasitic, insecticidal ones [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].

In works [48,49] the antidiabetic activity of new 1-substituted derivatives of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole was also demonstrated.
Quite often, halogenation methods and the introduction of sulfur-containing fragments are used as a chemical modification of many heterocyclic compounds. The presence of halogen substituents in the heterocycles structure results in the therapeutic effect amplification due to an increase in the lipophilicity of the resulting substances and facilitates In works [48,49] the antidiabetic activity of new 1-substituted derivatives of 3,5dimethylpyrazole was also demonstrated.

The presence of halogen substituents in the heterocycles structure results in the therapeutic effect amplification due to an increase in the lipophilicity of the resulting substances and facilitates their passage through biomembranes [50].
Isothiocyanate method [61] is one of the preparatively convenient methods allowing introducing thiourea or thioureide fragments into many aromatic and heterocyclic amines, including physiologically active alkaloids. It has been shown by us earlier on numerous examples [62][63][64][65].
The corresponding thioureas cyclization is used for the synthesis of many thiazole derivatives. Methods for the preparation of thiazoline heterocyclic derivatives from the corresponding allyl-containing thioureas under the action of various reagents, namely solutions of hydrogen halides and halogens, were described in the literature [66,67]. At the same time, compounds based on the pyrazole fragment, containing thiourea, thioamide or thiazole groups, are practically not described in the literature and represented by single examples [68].
Since interaction of isothiocyanates with amines was known to be the main method for obtaining thioureas, there was chosen 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole 2 obtained by bromination of a preparatively available 3,5-dimethylpyrazole 1 to synthesize the corresponding thiourea derivative [69].
Further, on its basis, the interaction with allyl isothiocyanate was carried out (Scheme 1). In works [48,49] the antidiabetic activity of new 1-substituted derivatives of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole was also demonstrated.

Further, on its basis, the interaction with allyl isothiocyanate was carried out (Scheme 1).
It was found that the reaction of 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole 2 with the selected isothiocyanate, in contrast to simple and more basic alicyclic and aromatic amines, took longer time and required heating the reaction mixture to 50 °C. The yield of allylthiourea 3 was 71%. Analysis of the 1 H NMR spectrum of compound 3 showed that there were Scheme 1. Synthesis of 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole 2 and its allylthiourea derivative.

The yield of allylthiourea 3 was 71%. Analysis of the 1 H NMR spectrum of compound 3 showed that there were intense narrow singlets of almost equivalent methyl protons of the pyrazole ring in the region of 2.08 and 2.15 ppm. The terminal allyl protons CH 2 = of the thiourea fragment appeared as a system of multiplets from ddd and broadened dd in the region of 5. In the works [70][71][72] it was shown that the corresponding N-allylthiocarbamides (4a-c) synthesized by the interaction of cytisine (a), salsoline (b), and anabasine (c) alkaloids with allylisothiocyanate in a solution of concentrated hydrochloric acid, when heated in a sealed ampoule for 5-6 h, underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-thiazoline derivatives 5a-c (Scheme 2).

Scheme 2. Synthesis of allylthiourea derivatives of alkaloids and cyclization.
The following transformations in order to obtain new physiologically active compounds which combined the basic pyrazole ring and the sulfur-containing thiazole heterocycle in their structure were carried out. The ampoule cyclization of N-allyl-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole)-1-carbothioamide 3 under the action of a hydrochloric acid solution was carried out by analogy with the procedures for N-allylthiocarbamides 4a-c cyclization. However, when processing the reaction mixture, the expected corresponding cyclic 1,3-thiazoline 6 was not isolated, but the initial 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole 2, which was probably formed as a result of conventional hydrolysis at the C-N bond between the pyrazole ring and thioamide fragment (Scheme 3).

In order to obtain new 1,3-thiazoline pyrazole derivatives of type 6, another alternative method for their preparation was used. The method was based on the use of a highly reactive isothiocyanate reagent, namely 2,3-dibromopropylisothiocyanate (7). The latter was used for a one-step synthesis of thiazoline derivatives via intramolecular heterocyclization of intermediate dibromo-substituted thioureas [73,74]. 2,3-Dibromopropylisothiocyanate (7) was synthesized by allylisothiocyanate bromination in chloroform medium according to the procedure [75].
When carrying out the reaction of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole 1 and 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole 2 with 2,3-dibromopropylisothiocyanate 7, it was found that intramolecular heterocyclization of the intermediate 2,3-dibromopropyl-substituted thioureas occurred at Scheme 4: It was found that the reaction course and the target products yield directly depended on the reagent's addition order, the use of a solvent indifferent to the starting 2,3-dibromopropylisothiocyanate 7, and a hydrogen bromide acceptor. So, for example, when adding a solution of 2,3-dibromopropylisothiocyanate 7 to an alcohol (or benzene) solution of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole 1, about 50% of the original 3,5-dimethylpyrazole 1 remained unreacted at the reaction end, bound in the form of hydrobromide. It was possible to isolate the final reaction product in the form of a base in a high yield (96%) by changing the reagents addition order, using indifferent benzene and an excess of triethylamine as an acceptor of hydrogen bromide obtained during cyclization. 4-Bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole 2 resulted in the formation of the corresponding product 9 in a lower yield (65%).
The composition, structure, and identity of the synthesized compounds 8, 9 were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
When analyzing the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of compounds 8, 9 (Figures S2 and S3 Supporting Information) recorded in DMSO solution, it was found that a mixture of rotational isomers with axial and equatorial arrangement of the bromomethyl radical relative to the 1,3 planes of thiazoline ring was detected in the solution, which had been fixed by the corresponding duplicate peaks. It was found that the reaction course and the target products yield directly depended on the reagent's addition order, the use of a solvent indifferent to the starting 2,3-dibromopropylisothiocyanate 7, and a hydrogen bromide acceptor.

Analysis of structure 8 (CCDC 723563) showed that bond lengths and bond angles were close to usual [76]. The thiazoline ring adopted a strongly flattened sofa conformation (∆C 8 s = 1 Å). In our opinion, this was due to the strong ring tension, as well as the influence of a heavier bromine atom, which resulted in shortening the C4-C3 bond (0.997 Å) and elongating the C3-S1(2.049 Å) bond (Table S1. Supporting Information). Such anomalies are possible due to several factors, namely a molecule fragment disorder, possibly also during the cocrystallization of two isomers, or the crystal turned out to be an intergrowth (twin). The pyrazole cycle is planar with an accuracy of ±0.007 Å. The methyl groups are oriented equatorially and lie in the pyrazole ring plane.

Thiazole derivatives that combine physiologically active alkaloids in their structure, namely cytisine and salsoline [77,78] which can potentially exhibit high pharmacological activity, are of particular interest. The reaction positive results prompted us to check the reproducibility of this reaction on the example of some biologically active alkaloids (cytisine a, salsoline b), as well as methylamino-substituted pyrazole (1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methanamine 10, synthesized according to the method (Scheme 5).

As a result of the reactions performed, there were isolated in good yields (72-83%) the corresponding bromomethyl 1,3-thiazoline derivatives 11-13 based on physiologically active alkaloids, namely cytisine and salsoline, as well as methylamino-substituted pyrazole 10. The resulting compounds 8, 9, 11-13 can be initial synthons for subsequent alkylation reactions and the synthesis of new biologically active compounds.

When analyzing the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of compounds 11-13 ( Figures S4 and S5.

The mass spectra analysis of compounds 11-13 showed that the molecules were not sufficiently stable under the electron impact action, since the spectra contained almost no peaks of the molecular ion, or they were present, but with a low relative intensity. All mass spectra
In addition, the structures of the standard antibiotics Cephalotin and Chloramphenicol were used as comparators due to their proven antibacterial activity [85,86].
According to the molecular docking results, compound 8 had a weak binding energy of −5.2 kcal/mol with Penicillin binding protein 4 (PBP4) E. coli "Homo sapiens", which was due to the formation of one hydrogen bond between the nitrogen atom of the thiazoline ring with the amino acid ASN 308 and two carbon-hydrogen bonds between the carbon atom of the thiazoline ring with amino acid SER 303 and the nitrogen atom of the thiazoline ring with amino acid ASN 308 (Figure 4).

FTIR spectra were obtained with an Agilent Cary 630 spectrophotometer in a thin sample layer on a crystal attachment. 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX400 (400 and 100 MHz, respectively) and Bruker AVANCE 500 (500 and 125 MHz, respectively) instruments using DMSO-d 6 , the internal standard was TMS or residual solvent signals (2.49 and 39.9 ppm 1 H and for 13 C nuclei in DMSO-d 6 ).
Chromato-mass spectrometric studies were carried out on a Trace GC Ultra chromatograph with a DSQ II mass-selective detector in the electron ionization mode (70 eV) on a Thermo TR-5 MS quartz capillary column, 15 m long, 0.25 mm inner diameter, with a film thickness of the stationary phase of 0.25 µm. Splitless input mode was used. Carrier gas discharge was 20 mL/min. The velocity of the carrier gas (helium) was 1 mL/min. Evaporator temperature was 200 • C, transition chamber temperature was 200 • C, ion source temperature was 200 • C. The temperature of the column thermostat was changed according to the program, namely from 15 (5 min delay) to 220 • C at a rate of 20 • C per minute, to 290 • at a rate of 15 • per minute. The total analysis time was 30 min. The volume of the injected sample was 1 µL. Chromatograms were recorded in TIC mode. The range of mass scanning was 30-450 amu.

Conclusions
Thus, we found that an attempt to synthesize cyclic 1,3-thiazoline 6 by cyclization of the corresponding N-allyl-4-bromo-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide 3 under the action of hydrochloric acid solution led to hydrolysis to the starting 4-bromo-3,5dimethylpyrazole 2. The interaction of 1,2-dibromo-3-isothiocyanatopropane with the indicated pyrazoles 1,2,10, as well as cytisine and salsoline alkaloids, resulted in onestep and rather mild method for obtaining the corresponding bromomethyl derivatives of 1,3-thiazoline. The cyclization yield was affected by the base presence and the order in which the reagents were added. Molecular docking of the synthesized 1,3-thiazoline derivatives for putative antibacterial activity on the example of penicillin-binding target protein (PBP4) of bacteria E. coli "Homo sapiens" and S. aureus "Homo sapiens" showed that the compounds had insignificant values of binding energy at the level of selected comparators (Cephalotin and Chloramphenicol). The presence of natural alkaloids in the structure of thiazoline derivatives somewhat increased the affinity of those substrates for the target proteins selected.
