Synthesis and biological evaluation of some new Thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives

Divergent Synthesis of α-(1,3,5-Triazinylthio)-ketones and Thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazines from 1,3-Dicarbonyl compounds or Chalcones with 1,3,5-Triazine-2-thiols

An efficient synthesis of α-(1,3,5-triazinylthio)-ketones from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 1,3,5-triazine-2-thiols has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the C-C bond cleavage and C-S bond reconstruction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and β-keto esters, β-keto amides, and 1,3-diones were tolerated. In addition, the annulation of 1,3,5-triazine-2-thiols with chalcones has been achieved for the synthesis of thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazines. The method occurred in moderate to good yields and tolerated chalcone with a broad functional group.

Synthetic and Medicinal Perspective of Fused-Thiazoles as Anticancer Agents

BACKGROUND

Cancer is second leading disease after cardiovascular disease. Presently, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and use of chemicals are some treatments available these days. Thiazole and its hybrid compounds extensively used scaffolds in drug designing and development of novel anticancer agents due to their wide pharmacological profiles. Fused thiazole scaffold containing drugs are available in market as a promising group of anticancer agents.

METHODS

The detailed study has been done using different database that focused on potent thiazole hybrid compounds with anticancer activity. The literature included in this review is focused on novel fused thiazole derivatives exhibiting anticancer potency in last decade.

RESULTS

Literature suggested that thiazoles and its fused and linked congener serve excellent pharmacological profile as an anticancer agent. Various synthetic strategies for fused thiazole are also summarized in this article. Novel thiazole and its fused congener showed anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines.

INTERPRETATION

Thiazole is a promising scaffold reported in literature with broad range of biological activities. This article covers the thiazole compounds fused with other carbocyclic/heterocycle including benzene, imidazole, pyridine, pyrimidine, quinoline, phenothiazine, thiopyrano, steroids, pyrrole etc. with anticancer activity from last decades. Several inhibitors for breast cancer, colon cancer, melanoma cancer, ovarian cancer, tubulin cancer etc. were reported in this review. Thus, this review will definitely aid to develop a lead for the new selective anticancer agents in future.

The influence of substituents on the reactivity and cytotoxicity of imidazothiazolotriazinones

A series of tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine-2,7(1H, 6H)-diones were synthesized via the reaction of imidazotriazinethiones and bromoacetic acid followed by condensation with isatins. Amidine skeletal rearrangement of 3,3a,9,9a-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine-2,7 (1H, 6H)-diones into 1,3a,4,9a-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazine-2,8 (3H, 7H)-diones under KOH treatment has been studied. The influence of substituents at positions 1,3,3a,6,9a of imidazothiazolotriazine on the ability to undergo rearrangement was analyzed based on experimental data and theoretical calculations. Both imidazothiazolo[3,2-b]triazines and their rearrangement products were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against rhabdomyosarcoma, A549, HCT116 and MCF7 human cancer cell lines by MTT assay. Among the derivatives, 1,3-diethyl-6-[1-(2-propyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene]-3,3a,9,9a-tetrahydroimidazo [4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine-2,7(1H, 6H)-dione 4i was found to have the highest antiproliferative activity toward the tested cell lines (4i: [Formula: see text], 2.29, 0.47 and [Formula: see text], respectively). The [Formula: see text] value of compound 4i against normal human embryonic kidney cells HEK293 was [Formula: see text], which appeared to be 6-41-fold higher than [Formula: see text] values of 4i against human cancer cells.

An efficient, one-pot three-component synthesis of 4H-thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-6-one derivatives

A simple and efficient protocol was established to synthesize thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-6-ones via three-component one-pot condensation reaction of readily available thioglycolic acid or ethyl thioglycolate, aldehydes or ketones and dicyandiamide in the presence of ammonium acetate. All of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic analyses.
