Studies on 3'-quaternary ammonium cephalosporins--III. Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 3'-(3-aminopyrazolium) cephalosporins

Substituted Pyrazoles and Their Heteroannulated Analogs-Recent Syntheses and Biological Activities

Pyrazoles are considered privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Previous reviews have discussed the importance of pyrazoles and their biological activities; however, few have dealt with the chemistry and the biology of heteroannulated derivatives. Therefore, we focused our attention on recent topics, up until 2020, for the synthesis of pyrazoles, their heteroannulated derivatives, and their applications as biologically active moieties. Moreover, we focused on traditional procedures used in the synthesis of pyrazoles.

Facile Access to Cyclooctanoid Ring Systems via Microwave-Assisted Tandem 6-exo dig Cyclization-Rearrangement Sequence

Appropriately substituted 5-alkyn-1-ol systems bearing a nitrile moiety at the triple bond serve as versatile precursors to a variety of cyclooctenone derivatives via a "one-pot" base-catalyzed oxyanionic 6-exo dig cyclization/Claisen rearrangement sequence under microwave irradiation. It was found that the initially formed cyclic intermediate consists of a mixture of endo and exocyclic isomers, which appear to be in equilibrium under the reaction conditions. However, the only observed products from these reactions are α-cyano substituted cyclooctenones, derived from the exocyclic dihydrofuran intermediates.

Fused Imidazopyrazoles: Synthetic Strategies and Medicinal Applications

The current review summarizes the known synthetic routes of fused imidazopyrazoles. This review is classified into two main categories based on the type of annulations, for example, annulation of the imidazole ring onto a pyrazole scaffold or annulation of the pyrazole ring onto an imidazole scaffold. Some medicinal applications of imidazopyrazoles are mentioned.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of quaternary ammonium cephalosporins with 3-pyrazolylpyridinium derivatives

Cephalosporins with 3-pyazolylpyridinium at C-3 position, which is supposed to exhibit synergic activity of ceftazidime and cefoselis, were synthesized and their antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative was inspected.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel 4-pyrrolidinylthio carbapenems. Part III: Novel 2-alkyl substituents containing cationic heteroaromatics linked via a C-N bond

The synthesis and biological activity of a novel series of 2-alkyl-4-pyrrolidinylthio-beta-methylcarbapenems containing a variety of cationic heteroaromatic substituents is described. As a result of these studies, we uncovered a relationship between in vitro antibacterial activity and the length of the alkyl spacer part, and discovered FR20950 (1c), containing a two methylene spacer moiety and an imidazolio group, which possesses a balanced spectrum of antibacterial activity, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Furthermore, FR20950 exhibited excellent urinary recovery, and comparable stability against renal dehydropeptidase-I (DHP-I) to Biapenem. DHP-I stability could be improved by introduction of a substituent on to the imidazole ring.

Studies on 3'-quaternary ammonium cephalosporins--IV. Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 3'-(2-alkyl-3-aminopyrazolium) cephalosporins related to FK037

The synthesis and in vitro antibacterial activity of 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido] cephalosporins bearing various 2-alkyl-3-aminopyrazolium groups at the 3-position are described. Antibacterial activity against MRSA was affected by the nature of the substituent at the 2-position on the 3'-aminopyrazolium groups. Among the cephalosporins prepared in this study, 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-[3-am ino-2-(2 -hydroxyethyl)-pyrazolio]methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate sulfate (23e, FK037) showed extremely potent broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive bacteria including MRSA, and Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In particular, the in vivo activity against MRSA of FK037 was the highest of all the beta-lactam antibiotics tested.
