Synthesis, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Evaluation of Novel Series of Condensed Thiazoloquinazoline with Pyrido, Pyrano, and Benzol Moieties as Five- and Six-Membered Heterocycle Derivatives

A novel synthesis of thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines 4(a–e), pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines {5(a–e), 6(a–e), and 7(a–e)}, pyrano[2′,3′:4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines 8(a–e), and benzo[4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoloine9(a–e) derivatives starting from 2-(Bis-methylsulfanyl-methylene)-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexane-1,3-dione 2 as efficient α,α dioxoketen dithioacetal is reported and the synthetic approaches of these types of compounds will provide an innovative molecular framework to the designing of new active heterocyclic compounds. In our study, we also present optimization of the synthetic method along with a biological evaluation of these newly synthesized compounds as antioxidants and antibacterial agents against the bacterial strains, like S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. Among all the evaluated compounds, it was found that some showed significant antioxidant activity at 10 μg/mL while the others exhibited better antibacterial activity at 100 μg/mL. The results of this study showed that compound 6(c) possessed remarkable antibacterial activity, whereas compound 9(c) exhibited the highest efficacy as an antioxidant. The structures of the new synthetic compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR.

3-[(2-Chloro-6-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)meth-yl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one

In the title mol-ecule, C(19)H(14)ClN(3)O, the quinoline and quinazoline ring systems form a dihedral angle of 80.75 (4)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers, generating R(2) (2)(6) ring motifs. The structure is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7869 (8) and 3.8490 (8) Å].

Cinnoline Derivatives with Biological Activity

Although cinnoline belongs to a family of fairly well known heterocycles, the interest in the study of its derivatives continues. Cinnoline compounds demonstrate interesting bioactivity and many research papers have discussed the biological property, structure-activity relationship, and applications in medicinal science. Attention has been paid to the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds bearing a cinnoline moiety, mainly because of the interest in their broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. This chronological work summarizes almost all synthetic papers and patents concerning the biological properties of 107 cinnoline derivatives published over the last 50 years with 117 references.

Synthesis and antifungal activity of novel pyrano[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines, pyrido[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines and pyrazolo[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines

The starting materials thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines (5a,b) were obtained in one pot synthesis by treating octahydroquinazoline (2) with chloroacetic acid and aromatic aldehydes. Thiazoloquinazoline (5) was reacted with CH2(CN)2/piperidine and CH2(CN)2/NaOH (CH3OH), to furnish pyrano[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines (6a,b) and pyrido[2',3':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline (7), respectively. Refluxing of 5a with NH2CSNH2/KOH and hydrazines in ethanol furnished the corresponding, [1,3]thiazino[4'5':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline (10) and pyrazolo[3',4':4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines (11a,b), respectively. Antifungal activity was shown for some of the synthesized compounds.
