Synthesis and biological evaluation of a fluorine-18 labeled estrogen receptor-alpha selective ligand: [18F] propyl pyrazole triol.

The two estrogen receptor subtypes, ERalpha and ERbeta, play important roles in breast cancer. To develop an ERalpha imaging agent, we synthesized fluoropropyl pyrazole triol (FPPT, 2), an analog of our ERalpha-selective ligand PPT. FPPT retains the high ERalpha binding selectivity of its parent PPT. We prepared [(18)F]FPPT ((18)F-2) in high specific activity, but estrogen target tissue uptake in female rats was minimal and was not displaceable by unlabeled estradiol, probably because of the lipophilicity and triphenolic nature of FPPT.

A coupled-cluster study of the structure and vibrational spectra of pyrazole and imidazole.

Harmonic force fields were calculated at the corresponding optimized geometries for pyrazole and imidazole at the HF, B3LYP, MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T) levels using the 6-31G* basis set and at the HF and B3LYP levels using the cc-pVTZ basis set. The agreement between the calculated and experimental geometries by the CCSD and CCSD(T) methods was generally similar to that obtained with the B3LYP and MP2 methods. The force fields were scaled using one-scale-factor (1SF), 3SF and 7SF scaling schemes. The scale factors were varied with respect to the experimental frequencies. Using 7SF scaling, the root-mean-square (RMS) deviation of the calculated frequencies from the experimental frequencies by the HF, B3LYP, MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T) methods and the 6-31G* basis set was 16, 7, 13, 11 and 11 cm(-1), respectively. This shows that the B3LYP method is preferred for force field calculations over the perturbative MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T) methods. Using 1SF scaling, the CCSD(T) scale factor was 0.931, the highest among the five methods used but close to that obtained with the B3LYP method and the cc-pVTZ basis set with lower RMS deviation.

NMR investigation of DNA conformational changes on base protonation: use of Cu2+ and pyrazole as probes.

In order to evaluate models for the acid denaturation of DNA and to assess the potential importance of protonated bases in mutations and gene expression, an NMR investigation of DNA and nucleotides in the pH range 7-2 has been conducted. The changes in the imino proton spectral region are readily observed and quite dramatic on lowering pH. At pH 7.0, calf thymus DNA has imino proton signals for AT (13.6 ppm, 56% area) and GC (12.6 ppm, 44% area) base pairs but no peaks in the 10-12 ppm region. At pH 5 a broad peak(s) between 10 and 11 ppm was (were) observed, and it narrowed and shifted to 10.9 ppm at pH 3.2. The original GC area was lost by pH 3.2 while the AT area was reduced by 50%. Below pH 3 the remainder of the AT signal was lost, and the area of the 10.9 ppm peak increased. Over this pH range the aromatic proton signals of DNA sharpened, and the cytosine amino proton signals in DNA narrowed and shifted downfield. Addition of pyrazole in the pH 4-6 range caused broadening of the new resonance but had very little effect on the original signals. Addition of Cu2+ in the pH 4-6 range resulted in a large loss in area of the GC and the new upfield peak(s). However, at lower pH, the upfield peak was not totally broadened by Cu2+. At pH below 7, the broad 31P signal of calf thymus DNA shifted slightly downfield and sharpened.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cellulose beads: a new versatile solid support for microwave- assisted synthesis. Preparation of pyrazole and isoxazole libraries.

The synthesis of libraries of substituted pyrazoles and isoxazoles has been developed via in situ generation of polymer-bound enaminones. The synthetic protocol makes use of commercially available aniline cellulose, a low-cost and versatile biopolymer, under very mild conditions. This new support allowed us to carry out reactions in polar solvents under both conventional heating and MW irradiation without degradation of the polymer. The reaction between cellulose-bound enaminone and hydroxylamine or hydrazines to afford the target heterocycles in high yields directly in solution is the key step. The support can be conveniently recycled.

Solid-phase synthesis of 5-substituted amino pyrazoles.

An efficient method for the solid-supported synthesis of 5-N-alkylamino and 5-N-arylamino pyrazoles is described. This method is general and mild and utilizes readily accessible resin-immobilized beta-ketoamides 2 as starting materials for the preparation of 1. Resin-immobilized beta-ketoamide, aryl-, or alkylhydazine and Lawesson's reagent are suspended in a mixture of THF/Py and heated at 50-55 degrees C to give a resin-bound 5-aminopyrazole, that is liberated from the solid support by treatment with TFA.

Fully automated polymer-assisted synthesis of 1,5-biaryl pyrazoles.

The polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) synthesis of a 192-member 2-D array of 1,5-biaryl pyrazoles 4[1-12,1-16] is reported. The synthesis was performed in a fully automated manner using a multiprobe top-filtration robot and incorporates a "catch and release" step to afford library compounds directly in high yield and purity.

Solution-phase parallel synthesis of a pyridinium pyrazol-3-olate inner salt library using a three-component reaction.

We present here the discovery of a novel, versatile, multicomponent reaction leading to various 4-[4-(pyridinium-1-yl)-2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-2H-pyrazol-3-olate inner salts. The structure of the unusual zwitterionic inner salts was elucidated, and the scope of the novel reaction was investigated. After rapid optimization, the reaction was adapted to parallel synthesis, and an 800-membered compound library was produced.

Structure-activity study on antiinflammatory pyrazole carboxylic acid hydrazide analogs using molecular connectivity indices.

The relationship between molecular connectivity indices and the antiinflammatory activity of a series of pyrazole carboxylic acid hydrazide analogs has been investigated. The values of molecular connectivity index, valence molecular connectivity index, and a modified index, termed as atomic molecular connectivity index for 76 compounds, were computed and active ranges were identified. Each compound was assigned an activity which was subsequently compared with the reported activity against lipoxygenase enzyme. Predictions with a degree of accuracy above 80% were observed using the valence molecular connectivity index.

Pyrazolate-bridging dinucleating ligands containing hydrogen-bond donors: synthesis and structure of their cobalt analogues.

Convergent preparative routes to new urea-pyrazolate dinucleating ligands are described. Metal complexes of these ligands have hydrogen bond donors that are proximal to the metal centers that interact with other coordinated species. This is exemplified by Co(II) dimers with Co(II)-mu-Cl-Co(II) motifs, in which the chloro ligand is involved in four intramolecular hydrogen bonds. These noncovalent interactions appear to influence the Co(II)-Cl bonds, which are unusually long, having lengths greater than 2.5 A.

Synthesis, solid-state NMR, and X-ray powder diffraction characterization of group 12 coordination polymers, including the first example of a C-mercuriated pyrazole.

Cadmium and mercury acetates have been reacted with pyrazole (Hpz) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz), affording distinct mixed-ligand species, selectively prepared upon slightly modifying the reaction conditions. Two polymorphs of [{Cd(mu-ac)2(Hpz)2}n], as well as the [{Cd(mu-ac)2(Hdmpz)2}n] species (Hac = acetic acid), were obtained by solution chemistry, while the two-dimensional [{Cd3(mu3-ac)4(mu-pz)2(Hpz)2}n] and [{Cd(mu-ac)(mu-pz)}n] polymers were prepared upon controlled thermal treatment of one of the [{Cd(mu-ac)2(Hpz)2}n] forms. Two mercury derivatives, [{Hg3(mu-ac)3(mu-pz)3}n] and [{Hg(ac)(mu-dmpz)}n], were also prepared, the latter containing one-dimensional chains of Hg(II) ions bridged by C-mercuriated Hdmpz ligands. All their crystal structures (but one) were determined by powder diffraction methods using conventional X-ray laboratory equipment, supported by 13C CPMAS NMR measurements. The latter method helped in assigning a C-metalated nature to an amorphous material of [Hg(ac)(pz)] formula, obtained by employing EtOH as a solvent. A few other Hdmpz-containing cadmium acetates were also prepared, but their polyphasic nature, evidenced by diffraction methods, hampered their complete structural characterization.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in five-membered hydrogen-bonding systems: 2-pyridyl pyrazoles.

The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction in five-membered N-H...N hydrogen-bonding systems has been explored through design and syntheses of a series of 5-(2-pyridyl) 1-H-pyrazoles 1a-d. The ESIPT mechanism was confirmed through spectroscopy, relaxation dynamics, and corresponding methylated analogues. The results demonstrate for the first time a unique system among ESIPT molecules, in which ESIPT incorporates an appreciably large energy barrier fine-tuned by the skeletal reorganization. This makes 1a-d systems ideal models for probing the reaction potential energy surface.

New 1H-pyrazole-containing polyamine receptors able to complex L-glutamate in water at physiological pH values.

The interaction of the pyrazole-containing macrocyclic receptors 3,6,9,12,13,16,19,22,25,26-decaazatricyclo-[22.2.1.1(11,14)]-octacosa-1(27),11,14(28),24-tetraene 1[L1], 13,26-dibenzyl-3,6,9,12,13,16,19,22,25,26-decaazatricyclo-[22.2.1.1(1)(1,14)]-octacosa-1(27),11,14(28),24-tetraene 2[L2], 3,9,12,13,16,22,25,26-octaazatricyclo-[22.2.1.1(11,14)]-octacosa-1(27),11,14(28),24-tetraene 3[L3], 6,19-dibenzyl-3,6,9,12,13,16,19,22,25,26-decaazatricyclo-[22.2.1.1(11,)(14)]-octacosa-1(27),11,14(28),24-tetraene 4[L4], 6,19-diphenethyl-3,6,9,12,13,16,19,22,25,26-decaazatricyclo-[22.2.1.1(11,14)]-octacosa-1(27),11,14(28),24-tetraene 5[L5], and 6,19-dioctyl-3,6,9,12,13,16,19,22,25,26-decaazatricyclo-[22.2.1.1(11,14)]-octacosa-1(27),11,14(28),24-tetraene 6[L6] with l-glutamate in aqueous solution has been studied by potentiometric techniques. The synthesis of receptors 3-6[L3-L6] is described for the first time. The potentiometric results show that 4[L4] containing benzyl groups in the central nitrogens of the polyamine side chains is the receptor displaying the larger interaction at pH 7.4 (Keff = 2.04 x 10(4)). The presence of phenethyl 5[L5] or octyl groups 6[L6] instead of benzyl groups 4[L4] in the central nitrogens of the chains produces a drastic decrease in the stability [Keff = 3.51 x 10(2) (5), Keff = 3.64 x 10(2) (6)]. The studies show the relevance of the central polyaminic nitrogen in the interaction with glutamate. 1[L1] and 2[L2] with secondary nitrogens in this position present significantly larger interactions than 3[L3], which lacks an amino group in the center of the chains. The NMR and modeling studies suggest the important contribution of hydrogen bonding and pi-cation interaction to adduct formation.

Synthesis of pyrazole derivatives and their evaluation as photosynthetic electron transport inhibitors.

Two series of new pyrazoles, namely six pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine-2,4-dione and four pyrazolo[1,5-c][1,3,5]thiadiazine-2-one derivatives, were synthesized as potential inhibitors of the photosynthetic electron transport chain at the photosystem II level. The compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, elemental, and IR analyses. Their biological activity was evaluated in vivo upon both the growth of blue-green algae and the photosynthetic oxygen evolution by eukaryotic algae and in vitro as the ability to interfere with light-driven reduction of ferricyanide by isolated spinach chloroplasts. Some compounds exhibited remarkable inhibitory properties, comparable to those of the reference commercial herbicides lenacil, diuron, and hexazinone. Results suggest that the substitution of triazine with thiadiazine ring may act as amplifier for herbicidal activity.

Pyrazole derivatives as photosynthetic electron transport inhibitors: new leads and structure-activity relationship.

Four series of new pyrazoles, namely, 5 4-carboxypyrazolo-3-tert-butylcarboxamide and 6 4-carboxypyrazolo-3-cyclopropylcarboxamide derivatives and 10 pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]thiazine-4-one and 9 pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]thiazine-4-thione derivatives, were synthesized and screened as potential inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport. The structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, elemental, and IR analyses. Their biological activity was evaluated in vitro as the ability to interfere with the light-driven reduction of ferricyanide by isolated spinach chloroplasts. Only a few compounds exhibited excellent inhibitory properties in the micromolar range, comparable to those of commercial herbicides sharing the same target, such as diuron, lenacil, and hexazinone. Nevertheless, most of the remaining molecules exerted a remarkable inhibition in the millimolar range. Combined with previous results on 6 pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine-2,4-dione and 4 pyrazolo[1,5-c][1,3,5]thiadiazine-2-one derivatives, these data allowed a comprehensive analysis of structure-activity relationship. Molecular modeling studies were undertaken to rationalize the structural determinants of activity in terms of shape, size, and molecular fields. Results suggested that the inhibitory potential of these compounds is associated mainly with their electrostatic properties.

Nonpeptide angiotensin II antagonists derived from 1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates and 4-aryl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylates.

Two series of potential angiotensin II antagonists derived from carboxyl-functionalized "diazole" heterocycles have been prepared and evaluated. Initially, a limited investigation of 4-arylimidazole-5-carboxylates led to 2-n-butyl-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-y l] methyl]-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid (12b), which was found to be a highly potent antagonist of the rabbit aorta AT1 receptor (IC50 0.55 nM). In conscious, normotensive rats, 12b at 0.1 mg/kg iv inhibited the pressor response to AII by 88%, with a duration of > 6 h. More extensively studied was an isosteric series of 3-alkyl-4-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]-1H-pyrazole -5- carboxylates bearing aryl, alkyl, or aralkyl substituents at N1. These compounds were available in highly regioselective fashion via condensation of a substituted hydrazine hydrochloride with a 2-(methoxyimino)-4-oxoalkanoate intermediate. In vitro, the most potent pyrazolecarboxylic acids had n-butyl at C3 and were substituted at N1 by such groups as 2,6-dichlorophenyl (19h), 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (19k), benzyl (19t), and phenethyl (19u), all with IC50 values of 0.18-0.24 nM. Although less potent in the receptor assay, 3-n-propylpyrazolecarboxylic acids were at least as effective as their butyl counterparts in vivo. Several of the pyrazolecarboxylic acid derivatives demonstrated potent, long-lasting oral activity in rats. At 1 mg/kg po, the 1-benzyl-3-butyl (19t), 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-propyl (19v), 3-propyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) (19y), and 1-benzyl-3-propyl (19z) analogues all gave > or = 75% inhibition of the AII pressor response in the rat model, with duration of action > 23 h.

Evaluation and synthesis of aminohydroxyisoxazoles and pyrazoles as potential glycine agonists.

Except for structurally similar small amino acids, such as alanine, beta-alanine, and serine, compounds acting as glycine-receptor agonists are an unknown class of pharmacological agents. To investigate the potential of small, substituted heterocycles to act as glycine agonists, we have evaluated the similarities between glycine and a series of hydroxy- and amino-substituted pyrazoles and isoxazoles through complementary molecular modeling techniques. Using a "scorecard approach" to determine the overall similarity of projected agonist structures to glycine, we prioritized synthesis and subsequently prepared several novel derivatives. The biological activity of these compounds was compared to that of glycine by using a [3H]strychnine-mediated glycine receptor binding assay. Despite the close similarity in the calculated parameters when compared to glycine, no significant receptor-binding activity was observed for the targeted analogues. These results illustrate the structurally exacting nature of the glycine receptor.
