Synthesis and antimalarial activity evaluation of 3-(3-(7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)propyl)-1,3-thiazinan-4-one derivatives

Novel quinoline/thiazinan-4-one hybrids; design, synthesis, and molecular docking studies as potential anti-bacterial candidates against MRSA

In an attempt to develop effective and safe antibacterial agents, we synthesized novel thiazinanones by combining the quinolone scaffold and the 1,3-thiazinan-4-one group by reaction between ((4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)methylene)hydrazinecarbothioamides and 2,3-diphenylcycloprop-2-enone in refluxing ethanol in the presence of triethyl amine as a catalyst. The structure of the synthesized compounds was characterized by spectral data and elemental analysis, IR, MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy which showed two doublet signals for CH-5 and CH-6 and four sharp singlets for the protons of thiazinane NH, CH[double bond, length as m-dash]N, quinolone NH and OH, respectively. Also, the ¹³C NMR spectrum clearly showed the presence of two quaternary carbon atoms which were assigned to thiazinanone-C-5 and C-6. All the 1,3-thiazinan-4-one/quinolone hybrids were screened for antibacterial activity. Compounds 7a, 7e and 7g showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity against most of the tested strains either G +ve or G -ve. Compound 7e is the most potent antibacterial agent against MRSA with the minimum inhibitory concentration against MRSA found to be 48 μg mL^-1 compared to the drug ciprofloxacin (96 μg mL^-1). Additionally, a molecular docking study was performed to understand the molecular interaction and binding mode of the compounds on the active site of S. aureus Murb protein. In silico docking assisted data strongly correlated with the experimental approach of antibacterial activity against MRSA.

Synthesis of new series of quinoline derivatives with insecticidal effects on larval vectors of malaria and dengue diseases

Mosquito borne diseases are on the rise because of their fast spread worldwide and the lack of effective treatments. Here we are focusing on the development of a novel anti-malarial and virucidal agent with biocidal effects also on its vectors. We have synthesized a new quinoline (4,7-dichloroquinoline) derivative which showed significant larvicidal and pupicidal properties against a malarial and a dengue vector and a lethal toxicity ranging from 4.408 µM/mL (first instar larvae) to 7.958 µM/mL (pupal populations) for Anopheles stephensi and 5.016 µM/mL (larva 1) to 10.669 µM/mL (pupae) for Aedes aegypti. In-vitro antiplasmodial efficacy of 4,7-dichloroquinoline revealed a significant growth inhibition of both sensitive strains of Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 values of 6.7 nM (CQ-s) and 8.5 nM (CQ-r). Chloroquine IC50 values, as control, were 23 nM (CQ-s), and 27.5 nM (CQ-r). In vivo antiplasmodial studies with P. falciparum infected mice showed an effect of 4,7-dichloroquinoline compared to chloroquine. The quinoline compound showed significant activity against the viral pathogen serotype 2 (DENV-2). In vitro conditions and the purified quinoline exhibited insignificant toxicity on the host system up to 100 µM/mL. Overall, 4,7-dichloroquinoline could provide a good anti-vectorial and anti-malarial agent.

Chemistry of Substituted Thiazinanes and Their Derivatives

Thiazinanes and its isomeric forms represent one of the most important heterocyclic compounds, and their derivatives represented a highly potent drug in disease treatment such as, 1,1-dioxido-1,2-thiazinan-1,6-naphthyridine, which has been shown to have anti-HIV activity by a mechanism that should work as anti-AIDS treatment, while (Z)-methyl 3-(naphthalen-1-ylimino)- 2-thia-4-azaspiro[5 5]undecane-4-carbodithioate showed analgesic activity, cephradine was used as antibiotic and chlormezanone was utilized as anticoagulants. All publications were interested in the chemistry of thiazine (partially or fully unsaturated heterocyclic six-membered ring containing nitrogen and sulfur), but no one was dealing with thiazinane itself which encouraged us to shed new light on these interesting heterocycles. This review was focused on the synthetic approaches of thiazinane derivatives and their chemical reactivity.

Synthesis of thiazolidin-4-ones and thiazinan-4-ones from 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

The present study describes the synthesis of a novel series of thiazolidin-4-one and thiazinan-4-one using 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine as amine precursor. All compounds were synthesised by one-pot three component cyclocondensation reaction from the amine, a substituted benzaldehyde and a mercaptocarboxylic acid. The compounds were obtained in moderate to good yields and were identified and characterised by ¹H, ¹³C, 2 D NMR and GC/MS techniques. The compounds also were screened for their in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in hippocampus and cerebral cortex on Wistar rats. The six most potent compounds have been investigated for their cytotoxicity by cell viability assay of astrocyte primary culture, an important cell of central nervous system. We highlighted two compounds (6a and 6k) that had the lowest IC₅₀ in hippocampus (5.20 and 4.46 µM) and cerebral cortex (7.40 and 6.83 µM). These preliminary and important results could be considered a starting point for the development of new AChE inhibitory agents.

Convenient diastereoselective synthesis of annulated 3-substituted-(5S*,6S*,Z)-2-(2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazono)-5,6-diphenyl-1,3-thiazinan-4-ones

Racemic 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazono)-5,6-diphenyl-1,3-thiazinan-4-ones and (Z)-N'-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-2,3-diphenylacrylohydrazide were formed during the diastereoselective reaction between 4-substituted 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)thiosemicarbazides and 2,3-diphenylcycloprop-2-enone under refluxing ethanol. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analyses.

QSAR, docking studies of 1,3-thiazinan-3-yl isonicotinamide derivatives for antitubercular activity

The enzyme - enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (enoyl ACP reductase) is a validated target for antitubercular activity. Inhibition of this enzyme interferes with mycolic acid synthesis which is crucial for Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell growth. In the present work 2D and 3D quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies were carried out on a series of thiazinan-Isoniazid pharmacophore to design newer analogues. For 2D QSAR, the best statistical model was generated using SA-MLR method (r²=0.958, q²=0.922) while 3D QSAR model was derived using the SA KNN method (q²=0.8498). These studies could guide the topological, electrostatic, steric, hydrophobic substitutions around the nucleus based on which the NCEs were designed. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to gauze the binding affinity of the designed analogues for enoyl ACP reductase enzyme. Amongst all the designed analogues the binding energies of SKS 01 and SKS 05 were found to be -5.267kcal/mol and -5.237kcal/mol respectively which was comparable with the binding energy of the standard Isoniazid (-6.254kcal/mol).
