Abstract

2-Amino-3-cyanopyridine is a simple precursor for the synthesis of analogues of Egyptian natural products visnagin and khellin. Fused pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines were prepared under mild reaction conditions. The detailed syntheses and spectroscopic data of the synthesised compounds are reported. Some isolated compounds show antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Introduction

Bicyclic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds such as purines [1–3], quinazolines [4–6], pteridines and pyrido-pyrimidines [7, 8] are well-known pharmacophores in drug discovery. Gefitinib and erlotinib are examples of market drugs with a bicyclic core structure, which are quinazoline derivatives acting as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and both are used for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, as analogues of quinazoline, have been intensively investigated. This scaffold is associated with a wide range of biological activities including dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibition, antitumor activity [9–11], adenosine kinase inhibition [12] and tyrosine kinase inhibition [13, 14], among other properties [15–18]. Part of our ongoing interest is to explore new scaffolds based on analogues of Egyptian natural products such as khellinone and its analogues.

Results and discussion

Chemistry

The interesting biological activity of khellinone derivatives [19] prompted us to continue our investigation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine incorporating 4,7-dimethoxy-1-benzofuran-5-ol moiety or trimethoxyphenyl moiety. A facile synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyanopyridine derivatives in a one-pot reaction was achieved using aromatic aldehyde, methyl ketone, malononitrile and ammonium acetate [20] or by preparing α,β-unsaturated ketone followed by reaction with malononitrile in the presence of ammonium acetate [21, 22]. 2-Amino-3-cyanopyridine is considered a simple and convenient precursor for the synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine incorporating some new khellinone derivatives and its analogues.

Thus, refluxing substrate 1a [21, 22] or 1b with anhydrous ammonium acetate and malononitrile in ethanol for 8 h led to the formation of the product 2a or 2b, respectively, in good yield (Scheme 1). Treatment of 2a with formic acid yielded pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one 3 in a moderate yield (Scheme 2). Treatment of 3 with phosphorus oxychloride in dioxane led to the formation of a pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative 4 in poor yield. We believe that the formation of a hydrochloride salt of the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine substrate may be responsible for the low yield. The dichloro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine 4 was allowed to react with hydrazine hydrate to give derivative 5 in low yield. Compound 5 was transformed into triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines 6a–c (Scheme 2), which may possess pharmacological properties similar to theophylline [23–26].

The poor yield was a problem in the synthesis of a variety of fused pyridopyrimidine derivatives. Herein, we explored a method that can offer a better yield of pyridopyrimidine products. As can be seen from Scheme 3, compounds 2a,b were allowed to react with carbon disulphide in the presence of hydrogen sodium carbonate yielding the respective dithiones 7a and 7b in good yield. Compound 7b was allowed to react with chloroacetic acid and benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium acetate under reflux in a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride to afford the product 8 in a moderate yield.

The alkylation of compound 7b with the appropriate functionalised halo compounds, followed by intramolecular cyclisation, led to the formation of the corresponding pyrido[2,3-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives 8–11.

The introduction of a good leaving group was pursued in another approach. Thus, compounds 7a,b were treated with iodomethane leading to formation of the respective methylthio derivatives 12a,b in good yield. The nucleophilic substitution of the methylthio group took place by treatment of compounds 12a,b with hydrazine hydrate leading to the formation of hydrazino derivatives 13a,b (Scheme 4). Compound 13a was allowed to react with two ortho esters and carbon disulphide to furnish the respective thiones 14a, 14b and 15. Yet, another approach to the construction of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives utilises the reaction of compound 13b with appropriate carboxylic acid in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. Compounds 16a,b were synthesised in this way. A different methodology for the preparation of unfused biheterocyclic products 17 and 18 involves conjugate addition of the hydrazine derivative 13b with appropriate α,β-unsaturated nitriles in the presence of piperidine as a catalyst. Compound 13b was also allowed to react with benzoin in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride (Scheme 4). This reaction led to the formation of the fused tricyclic thione 19.

Biological activity

Some of the synthesised compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. The results were compared with the activity of well-known antimicrobial and antifungal standards. The results of the preliminary screening tests are given in Table 1. As can be seen, some khellinone derivatives show higher antimicrobial activity than the standard.

Experimental

General

Melting points are uncorrected. Microanalyses were carried out at the Microanalytical Unit, National Research Centre and Faculty of Science, Cairo University. The IR spectra were recorded in KBr pellets on an FT-IR NEXCES spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan). 1H NMR (500 MHz) and 13C NMR (125 MHz) spectra were measured with a Jeol ECA 500 (Japan) in DMSO-d6 or CDCl3. Mass spectra (EI) were run at 70 eV with a Finnigan SSQ 7000 spectrometer (Thermo Instrument System Incorporation, USA). All reactions were followed up by TLC analysis.

Biological evaluation

The antimicrobial activity was determined by the cup plate technique method with some modifications. Levofloxacin and nystatin were used as reference antibiotics. The medium was nutrient agar for bacteria, potato dextrose for fungi, and the tested microorganisms were Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, yeast (single cell fungus) Candida albicans and multicellular fungus Aspergillus niger. Data were obtained according to the following procedure. A volume of 40 mL of the medium (at 55–60°C) was inoculated with 200 μL of the prepared test microorganism suspensions and poured into 15 cm diameter plates, mixed well and allowed to solidify. After solidification, holes (0.9 cm diameter) were made in the agar plates with the aid of a sterile cork-borer. In the holes, 50 μL of the dissolved sample was placed using an automatic micropipette. The Petri dishes were left at 5°C for 1 h to allow diffusion of the antibiotic through the agar medium prior to the growth of the test organism, and then they were incubated at 30°C for 24 h. The antimicrobial data are compiled in Table 1.
