Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nitrogen constitutes one of the most crucial elements in synthetic compounds, both organic and coordination. After all, urea is considered to be the first synthetic organic compound (it was first prepared in 1828 by Friedrich Wöhler from a mixture of the inorganic compounds silver cyanate (AgOCN) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)).

From a medicinal chemistry viewpoint, nitrogen is a very common element in every major class of active pharmaceutical ingredients existing in heterocyclic and in acyclic molecules. Functional groups like amines, imines, nitriles, amides, and carbamates dominate the libraries of bioactive compounds, whereas the total number of unique drugs containing at least one nitrogen heterocycle among FDA-approved pharmaceuticals is 910 (84% among 1035 unique small-molecule drugs). The top-5 most frequent nitrogen heterocycles in this list are piperidine, pyridine, piperazine, β-lactam, and pyrrolidine.

Until today, the combined use of synthetic organic chemistry and coordination chemistry has generated a number of new and effective synthetic methods of high-rate product formation for important classes of coordination compounds of several nitrogen-containing ligands with numerous metal ions, giving rise to novel materials with exceptional physicochemical, biological, medicinal, catalytic, and optical properties.

For the Special Issue “Nitrogen-Containing Molecules: Natural and Synthetic Products Including Coordination Compounds”, we welcome the submission of research articles related to one or more of the following: design and synthesis; structural characterization by means of NMR; X-ray crystallography; or other preliminary but significant results including but not limited to biological evaluation, theoretical calculations/molecular mechanics/computational studies, material or physicochemical properties of nitrogen-containing molecules, and/or coordination compounds of nitrogen-containing molecules.

The new 4-amino-2-(p-tolyl)-7H-chromeno[5,6-d]oxazol-7-one was successfully prepared through the Au/TiO2-catalyzed NaBH4 activation and chemoselective reduction of the new 4-nitro-2-(p-tolyl)-7H-chromeno[5,6-d]oxazol-7-one. The latter was synthesized by the one-pot tandem reactions of 6-hydroxy-5,7-dinitrocoumarin with p-tolylmethanol under Au/TiO2 catalysis. The dinitrocoumarin was obtained by the nitration of 6-hydroxycoumarin with cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by FT-IR, HR-MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR analysis. Preliminary biological tests show low anti-lipid peroxidation activity for the title compound.

A series of small molecules containing polar aromatic substituents and alkynes have been synthesized. One–pot preparations of polar aromatic molecules containing an alkynyl imine and alkynyl amide are reported. A one-pot preparation of a catechol containing an alkynyl amine was also attempted but in our hands it proved much better to synthesize this target molecule via a three step synthesis which we also report here.

A novel Cu(II) complex based on the Schiff base obtained by the condensation of ortho-vanillin with gamma-aminobutyric acid was synthesized. The compounds are physico-chemically characterized by elemental analysis, HR-ESI-MS, FT-IR, and UV-Vis. The complex and the Schiff base ligand are further structurally identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction and 1H and 13C-NMR, respectively. The results suggest that the Schiff base are synthesized in excellent yield under mild reaction conditions in the presence of glacial acetic acid and the crystal structure of its Cu(II) complex reflects an one-dimensional polymeric compound. The molecular structure of the complex consists of a Cu(II) ion bound to two singly deprotonated Schiff base bridging ligands that form a CuN2O4 chelation environment, and a coordination sphere with a disordered octahedral geometry.

The compound has been fully characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis and HRMS and its activity was evaluated in terms of its potential interaction with DNA as well as its cytotoxicity against resistant and non-resistant tumor cells. Both DNA thermal denaturation and DNA viscosity measurements revealed that a significant intercalation binding takes place upon treatment of the DNA with the synthesized pyrazoline, causing an increase in melting temperature by 3.53 ± 0.11 °C and considerable DNA lengthening and viscosity increase. However, neither re-sensitisation of Doxorubicin (DO X)-resistant breast cancer and multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal nor synergistic activity with DOX by potentially increasing the DOX cell killing ability was observed.
