Formation of a miscible supramolecular polymer blend through self-assembly mediated by a quadruply hydrogen-bonded heterocomplex.

A supramolecular network polymer consisting of a pair of immiscible polymers, poly(butyl)methacrylate (PBMA) and polystyrene (PS), is described. A urea of guanosine (1, UG) and 2,7-diamido-1,8-naphthyridine (2, DAN), which form an exceptionally strong quadruply hydrogen-bonding complex, are displayed at 1-10 mol % along the main backbone of PBMA and PS, respectively. (1)H NMR studies show heterocomplexation between UG and DAN exclusively. This high-fidelity, high-affinity supramolecular connection of two different polymer coils at the molecular level produces a polymer blend. Blends containing different weight ratios of the polymers and mole percent of the recognition units were characterized by AFM and DSC experiments with no isolated domains observed and a single glass-transition temperature (T(g)). The T(g) is tunable by varying the weight ratio of the polymers in the blend. In addition, viscosity measurements, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), and dynamic light-scattering (DLS) studies demonstrate the formation of a supramolecular network structure.

A supramolecular multi-block copolymer with a high propensity for alternation.

Alternating, multi-block supramolecular copolymers were created using quadruple hydrogen bonding as the noncovalent binding force. One block consisted of two guanosine butyl urea (UG) units attached at the ends of a triethylene glycol linker or a PEG chain (MW = 2 kD). The other block contained a 2,7-diamido-1,8-naphthyridine (DAN) unit at each end of a short alkane diester linker or a 100 kD poly(butyl methacrylate) macromolecule. The UG unit presents an ADDA hydrogen bonding array that is complementary to the DAAD array of DAN, and these form a very strong complex (Kassoc approximately 5 x 107 M-1), whereas UG and DAN weakly self-associate. These recognition properties allowed a multi-block supramolecular polymer to form which exhibits a high propensity for alternation. The self-assembled polymeric structure was shown to be reversibly formed and it was characterized by a combination of dynamic light scattering (DLS), 1H NMR, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and viscometry.

The synthesis, structure-activity, and structure-side effect relationships of a series of 8-alkoxy- and 5-amino-8-alkoxyquinolone antibacterial agents.

A series of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-alkoxy (8-methyoxy and 8-ethoxy)-quionoline-3-carboxylic acids and 1-cyclopropyl-5-amino-6-fluoro-8-alkoxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acids has been prepared and evaluated for antibacterial activity. In addition, they were also compared to quinolones with classic substitution at C8 (H, F, Cl) and the naphthyridine nucleus in a phototoxicity and mammalian cell cytotoxicity assay. The series of 8-methoxyquinolones had antibacterial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria equivalent to the most active 8-substituted compounds (8-F and 8-Cl). There was also a concomitant reduction in several of the potential side effects (i.e., phototoxicity and clonogenicity) compared to the most active quinolones with classic substitution at C-8. The 8-ethoxy derivatives had an even better safety profile but were significantly less active (2-3 dilutions) in the antibacterial assay.

Synthesis and biological activity of 5,11-methylenetetrahydro-5- deazahomofolic acid.

The synthesis of 5,11-methylene-5-deazatetrahydrohomofolate (5), a stable, semirigid mimic of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (4) is reported as a potential inhibitor of thymidylate synthases (TS). The key intermediate 3-amino-1-oxo-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-c] [2,6]naphthyridine (6) was obtained by the regiospecific cyclocondensation of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine with ethyl 1-benzyl-3-oxo-4-piperidinecarboxylate followed by halogenation (of the resulting lactam 9) and catalytic hydrogenolysis. Selective reduction of 6 followed by arylation with tert-butyl p-fluorobenzoate, saponification, and coupling with diethyl L-glutamate followed by saponification afforded the target compound 5. The title compound was tested as an inhibitor of the growth of Manca human lymphoma cells and also as an inhibitor of TS from Manca cells and Lactobacillus casei and was found to be inactive. In addition, compound 5 also failed to inhibit glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase from L. casei and from Manca cells.

Quinolone antibacterials: preparation and activity of bridged bicyclic analogues of the C7-piperazine.

A series of quinolone and naphthyridine antibacterial agents possessing as the C7-heterocycle bicyclic 2,5-diazabicyclo[n.2.m]alkanes, where n = 2, 3 and m = 1, 2, and a series including 4-aminopiperidine and 3-amino-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes have been prepared and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for antibacterial activity against a variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms. These compounds were also tested against the target enzyme bacterial DNA gyrase. All the examples investigated are nearly equipotent with the parent 7-piperazinyl analogues. Only endo-7-(3-amino-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl)-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro- 1,4- dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid displays activity that surpasses that of the piperazine parent.

Heterocyclic analogues of the antihypertensive beta-adrenergic blocking agent (S)-2-[3-(ter-butylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-3-cyanopyridine.

The synthesis of a series of isoelectronic analogues of (S)-2-[3-(tert-butylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-3-cyanopyridine (1) are described; included in this group are examples of thiazole, isothiazole, thiadiazole, pyrazine, and the structurally related naphthyridines. All of the compounds are similar to 1 in that they contain a cyano group ortho to the aminohydroxypropoxy side chain and meta to the nitrogen heteroatom. In addition, several related examples, having additional nuclear substituents and/or groups other than CN in the position adjacent to the aminohydroxypropoxy group, were prepared, and beta-adrenoceptor antagonist activity and vasodilating potency were determined. Three compounds, thiazole 2 and isothiazoles 3 and 27, effectively lowered mean arterial pressure in the SH rat at 5 mg/kg. Compounds 2, 3, and 27 increased iliac blood flow and exhibited beta-adrenergic blocking properties in the dog.

Interferon inducing activities of derivatives of 1,3-dimethyl-4-(3-dimethylaminopropylamino)-1H-pyrazolo(3,4-b)quinoline and related compounds.

Syntheses and interferon inducing acitivites are reported for 137 relatives of 1,3-dimethyl-4-(3-dimethylamino-propylamino)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (1). Three different generalized synthetic schemes for the preparation of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines are presented and limitations contrasted. Other heterocyclic nuclei containing the 3-dimethylaminopropylamino side chain include pyridine, quinoline, acridine, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, pyrazolo[3,4-B][1,8]naphthyridine, pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine, dipyrazolo[3,4-b:4',3'-e]pyridine, pyrrolo-[2,3-b]quinoline, isothiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline, and pyrido[2,3-h]pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline. Structural requirements for interferon induction in this series are discussed and two of the more active compounds (172 and 196) are compared directly with tilorone.

N-arylpiperazinyl-N'-propylamino derivatives of heteroaryl amides as functional uroselective alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonists.

Novel arylpiperazines were identified as alpha 1-adrenoceptor (AR) subtype-selective antagonists by functional in vitro screening. 3-[4-(ortho-Substituted phenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propylamines were derivatized with N,N-dimethyl anthranilamides, nicotinamides, as well as carboxamides of quinoline, 1,8-naphthyridine, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, isoxazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Strips of rabbit bladder neck were employed as a predictive assay for antagonism in the human lower tract. Rings of rat aorta were used as a "negative screen" for the test antagonists. Binding to alpha 1-ARs was relatively sensitive to size and electronic features of the arylpiperazine portion of the antagonists and permissive to these features on the heteroaryl carboxamide side. These structure-affinity findings were exploited to produce nicotinamides (e.g. 13ii and 25x) and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines (e.g. 37f and 37y) ligands with nanomolar affinity at the alpha 1-AR subtype prevalent in the human lower urinary tract(pA2 values: 8.8, 10.7, 9.3, and 9.9, respectively) and displaying 2-3 orders of magnitude selectivity over the alpha 1D-AR.

Facile synthesis of polypyridine esters: A route to functionalized aldehydes

A wide range of ester-substituted oligopyridines, based on pyridine, 1,8-naphthyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2'-bipyridine, and 2,2':6', 6' '-terpyridine units, has been synthesized and fully characterized. The principal reaction involves the palladium(0)-catalyzed carboalkoxylation of the bromo-, chloro- or triflate-substituted pyridine unit with carbon monoxide in the presence of a primary alcohol as nucleophile and a tertiary amine as base. Monofunctionalization of disubstituted compounds is realized by reaction in ethanol under mild conditions (70 degrees C, 1 atm CO). Stepwise reduction of selected esters with sodium borohydride, followed by Swern oxidation, affords the corresponding carbaldehydes in good yield. Several products are reported for the first time. The synthetic methods reported herein represent a valuable approach to the large-scale preparation of ester-functionalized oligopyridines that can be subsequently transformed to the corresponding alcohols or acids. These procedures also provide a practical methodology to the rational design of ligands bearing different kinds of functionalities.

Polycyclic heteroaromatics from reactions of acylbenzotriazoles with aryl isocyanates

N-Acylbenzotriazoles react with aryl isocyanates to form, depending on the type of acyl group, compounds based on five different classes of polycyclic heteroaromatics. Higher alkanoyl-, acetyl-, acetoacetyl-, aroyl-, and cinnamoylbenzotriazoles yield, respectively, derivatives of quinoline, pyrimidino[5,4-c]quinoline, benzo[b]-1,8-naphthyridine, phenanthridine, and indolo[2, 3-b]quinoline by incorporating 3, 3, 4, 2, and 2 molecules, respectively, of the isocyanate per acylbenzotriazole molecule.

Heterocyclization of functionalized vinylic derivatives of imidazo.

Heterocyclization of functionalized vinylic derivatives of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines was explored experimentally and theoretically using semiempirical AM1 and ab initio methods. A range of functionalized vinylic derivatives (azido, amino, and carbodiimide groups) were prepared for conversion into pyrroloazaindoles 19-22, imidazo[1,x]-, (x = 5, 6, 7, 8), [2,6]-, and [2,7]naphthyridines 28-30, 35-38 by thermal reaction. In the case of vinylic groups in the 5 position, peri annulation also was observed. The experimental and theoretical data are compared and discussed.

A convenient one-pot synthesis of 1,8-naphthyridones.

In this paper, we disclose an efficient one-pot procedure for the preparation of substituted 1,8-naphthyridin-4-one analogues. Previous efforts to effect this type of transformation were complicated by the formation of benzene tricarboxylate. Via the use of excess base, the impurity formation was completely inhibited. This allowed for the clean preparation of the desired intermediate and subsequent formation of naphthyridone analogues in a single flask, which could then be crystallized directly from the reaction mixture in good yield and high purity.

Two-stage sensing property via a conjugated donor-acceptor-donor constitution: application to the visual detection of mercuric ion.

A conjugated donor-acceptor-donor molecule incorporating a central moiety of naphthyridine and two terminal moieties of di(hydroxyethyl)aniline connected by ethynyl bridges shows two-stage color changes on binding with mercury(II) ion in Me(2)SO/H(2)O (1:1) solution with a bathochromic shift from 450 to 498 nm, and then an extraordinarily large hypsochromic shift to 378 nm. In comparison, the corresponding donor-acceptor molecule weakly binds mercury(II) ion with a hypsochromic shift from 408 to 375 nm. Our designed sensor of the donor-acceptor-donor system shows high selectivity toward mercury(II) ion over other competing metal ions.

[4 + 2]-Cycloaddition Reactions between beta-Acceptor-Substituted Enamines and 2-Vinylindole Radical Cations Acting as Hetero-Dienes.

[4 + 2]-Cycloaddition reactions between 2-vinylindoles acting as hetero-dienes and beta-acceptor substituted cyclic and acyclic enamines can be induced by formation of 2-vinylindole radical cations either via anodic oxidation or photoelectron transfer (PET) using catalytic amounts of triarylpyrylium tetrafluoroborates as sensitizers. In this way, pyrido[1,2-a]indoles or indolo[1,2-a]hexahydro-1,8-naphthyridines are formed in one step with complete regio- and stereochemical control.

General Method for the Preparation of Alkyne-Functionalized Oligopyridine Building Blocks.

A large series of alkyne-substituted oligopyridines based on 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine, or 1,8-naphthyridine substrates has been synthesized and fully characterized. The palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling of bromo- or chloro-substituted derivatives with (trimethylsilyl)acetylene proceeds readily in diisopropylamine under ambient conditions giving good yields of the corresponding alkyne-substituted substrates oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)SiMe(3). The terminal monoynes oligoPyC&tbd1;CH become available upon treatment with K(2)CO(3) in methanol. Stepwise homologation of the acetylene function by Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling of oligoPyC&tbd1;CH with (bromoethynyl)triethylsilane (BrC&tbd1;CSiEt(3)) affords, in good yield, the silylated diynes oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)(2)SiEt(3), from which the terminal diynes oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)(2)H are formed by treatment with aqueous methanolic alkali. Reaction of oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)(2)H with BrC&tbd1;CSiEt(3) yields the silylated triynes oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)(3)SiEt(3) in modest yield. Further homologation is limited by nucleophilic attack of n-propylamine at the C-2 carbon of the alkyne chain, giving rise to a mixture of cis/cis (48%), cis/trans (33%), and trans/trans (19%) enaminediyne compounds 21a-c. Glaser oxidative self-coupling of the terminal diynes provides access to ditopic bipyridine or terpyridine ligands oligoPy(C&tbd1;C)(4)oligoPy comprising a tetrayne spacer. Quantitative formation of air-stable copper(I) complexes is described for the 6,6'-substituted ligands. A single crystal X-ray structure of complex 22a shows that the two ligands are interlocked around the copper(I) center in a pseudotetrahedral arrangement, similar to the structure deduced from NMR and FAB(+) data. The synthetic methods reported herein represent a valuable approach to the large-scale preparation of alkyne-functionalized oligopyridines.

DOTTADs--readily made novel metal ligands with multivariant functionality--trans-DOTTADs and semi-DOTTADs.

Two new ligand systems related to the previously described DOTTADs have been generated in a simple one step reaction. The first, trans-DOTTADs, were formed by Vilsmeier formylation (followed by cyclisation and N-demethylation) of 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyrazine-dicarboxylic acid, to give the novel bis-pyridinopyrazine dialdehyde ligands. The corresponding pyrazine diester, reacted similarly to an intermediate iminium ion stage, which gave trans-DOTTAD imines on work-up with amines. The treatment of Hantzsch ester with two equivalents of benzaldehyde gave 7-phenyl-2-(2-phenylethenyl)-7,8-dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one-3-carboxylic acid. This product underwent similar cyclisation with Vilsmeier reagents to give, for example, 6-methyl-2-(2-phenylethenyl)-8-(phenylhydroxymethyl)-6H-[1,6]naphthyridin-5-one-3-carboxylic acid, an example of a semi-DOTTAD.

Weak antiferromagnetic coupling for novel linear hexanuclear nickel(II) string complexes (Ni6 12+) and partial metal-metal bonds in their one-electron reduction products (Ni6 11+).

The preparation, crystal structures, magnetic properties and electrochemistry of novel linear hexanuclear nickel string complexes (Ni6(12+)) and their corresponding 1-e(-) reduction products (Ni6(11+)) are reported. In these complexes, the hexanickel chain is in a symmetrical arrangement (approximately D(4) symmetry) and is helically supported by four bpyany(2-) ligands [bpyany(2-) = the dianion of 2,7-bis(alpha-pyridylamino)-1,8-naphthyridine]. The Ni6(12+) complexes show that the two terminal nickel ions have high-spin states (S = 1) and the four inner ones have low-spin states (S = 0). The two terminal nickel ions exhibit weak antiferromagnetic coupling of ca.-5 cm(-1). All of Ni6(12+) complexes display three reversible redox couples at about -0.70, -0.20 and +1.10 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The first reduction wave at about -0.20 V suggests facility of 1-e(-) reduction for the Ni(6)(12+) compounds. The reaction of Ni(6)(12+) complexes with hydrazine afforded the 1-e(-) reduction products (Ni6(11+)). As far as we are aware, the shortest bond distance of 2.202 A with a partial metal-metal bond was observed in Ni6(11+) compounds. The magnetic results of these Ni6(11+) compounds are in agreement with a localized model, in which the two terminal nickel ions are in a spin state of S = 1 whereas the central Ni3-Ni4 pair in a spin state of S = 1/2. The N6(11+) compounds show relatively strong antiferromagnetic coupling of about 60 cm(-1) between the terminal and the central dinickel ions.

Potent inhibition of scrapie prion replication in cultured cells by bis-acridines.

Prion diseases are characterized by an accumulation of PrP(Sc), a misfolded isoform of the normal cellular prion protein, PrP(C). We previously reported the bioactivity of acridine-based compounds against PrP(Sc) replication in scrapie-infected neuroblastoma cells and now report the improved potency of bis-acridine compounds. Bis-acridines are characterized by a dimeric motif, comprising two acridine heterocycles tethered by a linker. A library of bis-(6-chloro-2-methoxy-acridin-9-yl) and bis-(7-chloro-2-methoxy-benzo[b][1,5]naphthyridin-10-yl) analogs was synthesized to explore the effect of structurally diverse linkers on PrP(Sc) replication in scrapie-infected neuroblastoma cells. Structure-activity analysis revealed that linker length and structure are important determinants for inhibition of prion replication in cultured scrapied cells. Three bis-acridine analogs, (6-chloro-2-methoxy-acridin-9-yl)-(3-[4-[3-(6-chloro-2-methoxy-acridin-9-ylamino)-propyl]-piperazin-1-yl]-propyl)-amine, N,N'-bis-(6-chloro-2-methoxy-acridin-9-yl)-1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane, and (1-[[4-(6-chloro-2-methoxy-acridin-9-ylamino)-butyl]-[3-(6-chloro-2-methoxy-acridin-9-ylamino)-propyl]-carbamoyl]-ethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester, showed half-maximal inhibition of PrP(Sc) formation at 40, 25, and 30 nM, respectively, and were not cytotoxic to uninfected neuroblastoma cells at concentrations of 500 nM. Our data suggest that bis-acridine analogs may provide a potent alternative to the acridine-based compound quinacrine, which is currently under clinical evaluation for the treatment of prion disease.
