3-Imino derivative-sulfahydantoins: Synthesis, in vitro antibacterial and cytotoxic activities and their DNA interactions

Sulfahydantoins are five-membered rings found in the structure of chemicals that exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant properties. They also activate serine protease enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Five 3-imino sulfahydantoin compounds were synthesized by using Strecker synthesis reaction with minor modifications. We used reflux of various aldehydes with excess sulfamide in 85% methanol in the presence of sodium cyanide. The spectroscopic properties of these compounds were studied in detail. Antibacterial activities of all synthesized new compounds against four Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutans) and four Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella Enteritidis) bacteria were investigated by disc diffusion and microdilution method. pBR322 plasmid DNA binding abilities of compounds were investigated in vitro by agarose gel electrophoresis. In addition, the cytotoxic activities of the compounds against the human malignant pleural mesothelioma (SPC212) cell line were determined by the MTT method. The remarkable result in this study is that the synthesized compounds, especially 4b, 4d, and 4e, have significant biological activities. It has been demonstrated that these compounds, which cause DNA damage, also have an important antibacterial effect on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria when results compared with the control group antibiotics. Compound 4e exhibited the highest antibacterial potency against Streptococcus mutans (24.33 ± 0.57) from Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24.66 ± 1.15) from Gram-negative bacteria. At the same time, MTT results determined that compounds 4b, 4d, and 4e showed cytotoxic activity against the SPC212 cells. In particular, compound 4b had a high cytotoxic effect, and the IC₅₀ value was determined as 6.25 µM.

Potential antibacterial and antifungal activities of novel sulfamidophosphonate derivatives bearing the quinoline or quinolone moiety

A series of new α-sulfamidophosphonate/sulfonamidophosphonate (4a-n) and cyclosulfamidophosphonate (5a-d) derivatives containing the quinoline or quinolone moiety was designed and synthesized via Kabachnik-Fields reaction in the presence of ionic liquid under ultrasound irradiation. This efficient methodology provides new 1,2,5-thiadiazolidine-1,1-dioxide derivatives 5a-d in one step and optimal conditions. The molecular structures of the novel compounds 4a-n and 5a-d were confirmed using various spectroscopic methods. All these compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 27923) bacteria, in addition to three clinical strains (E. coli 1, P. aeruginosa 1, and S. aureus 1). Most of the tested compounds showed more potent inhibitory activities against both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria compared with the sulfamethoxazole reference. The following compounds, 4n, 4f, 4g, 4m, 4l, 4d, and 4e, are the most active sulfamidophosphonate derivatives. Furthermore, these molecules gave interesting zones of inhibition varying between 28 and 49 mm, against all tested bacterial strains, with a low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value ranging from 0.125 to 8 μg/ml. All the synthesized derivatives were also evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against Fusarium oxyporum f. sp. lycopersici and Alternaria sp. The results revealed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent antifungal inhibition and the compounds 4f, 4g, 4m, and 4i were the most potent derivatives with MIC values ranging from 0.25 to 1 µg/ml against the two tested fungal strains. The strongest inhibition of bacteria and fungi strains was detected by the effect of quinolone and sulfamide moieties.

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of cyclic sulfamides from conjugated dienes

This paper describes the catalytic asymmetric diamination of alkyl dienes using N,N'-di-tert-butylthiadiaziridine 1,1-dioxide in the presence of Pd(0) and a chiral phosphoramidite ligand to give cyclic sulfamides in high yield and high ee. The diamination is also amenable to gram scale.

A new class of heterocycles: 1,4,3,5-oxathiadiazepane 4,4-dioxides

This work reports the synthesis of novel 1,4,3,5-oxathiadiazepanes 4,4-dioxides from the reaction of N'-benzyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-sarcosine or proline sulfamide with aromatic aldehydes under acid catalysis. To prepare the starting materials N-Boc-sulfamide derivatives of sarcosine or proline were alkylated with benzyl alcohol under Mitsunobu reaction conditions, the Boc group was removed chemoselectively by acidolysis, and the resulting product reduced to the corresponding alcohol in good yields.

Synthesis of new fused benzothiadiazepines and macrocyclic sulfamides starting from n,n-disubstituted sulfamides and n(boc)-sulfamides

Herein, we describe an efficient one-step synthesis of new fused benzothiadiazepine-1,1-dioxides and macrocyclic sulfamides. The synthesis of these compounds was achieved in moderate yields starting from previously described N,N′-disubstituted symmetric sulfamides and N-tert-butoxycarbonyl, N′-alkyl sulfamide. The chemical structures of all the new compounds reported in this work were confirmed by NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry. These compounds are beneficial building blocks that can be used in deriving new chemical entities that exert a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities.
