Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of novel 1-substituted-1,2-dihydro-pyridazine-3,6-diones.

The synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel 1-substituted-1,2-dihydro-pyridazine-3,6-diones (4a--l, 5a--j) as potential anticonvulsant agents are described. The compounds were tested in vivo for the anticonvulsant activity. The compound which have maximum protection against MES induced seizures is 1-[3-(2-aminophenylamino)-2-hydroxypropyl)-1,2-dihydro-pyridazine-3,6-dione 4h (ED(50)=44.7 mg x kg(-1) i.p.) 1-[2-hydroxy-3-piperazin1-yl-propyl)-1,2-dihydro-pyridazine-3,6-dione 4c (ED(50)=72 mg x kg(-1) i.p.) and 1-[2-hydroxy-3-imidazol-1-yl-propyl)-1,2-dihydro-pyridazine-3,6-dione 4d (ED(50)=79 mg x kg(-1) i.p.) were also found to have maximum protection against MES induced seizures. Whereas all these compounds failed to protect the animals from subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (Metrozol) seizure threshold test (sc-Met).

Synthetic studies on condensed-azole derivatives. IV. Synthesis and anti-asthmatic activities of omega-sulfamoylalkyloxyimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines.

A series of novel (imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxyalkylsulfonamides was synthesized and evaluated for the ability to inhibit platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs. The compounds bearing a gem-dialkyl or a cycloalkylidene group at the 2 position of the sulfamoylpropyloxy group in the side chain were found to have potent activity. Among them, 3-(imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxy-2,2-dimethylpropanesulfonam ide (6) showed excellent anti-asthmatic activity and the longest duration of action. The compounds bearing a methyl group at the 7 or 8 position of the imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ring were found to have enhanced activity. Among them, 3-(7-methylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-yl)oxy-2,2- dimethylpropanesulfonamide (25) showed the most potent inhibitory effect, and its anti-asthmatic effect in an experimental model of allergic asthma was superior to that of theophylline. The structure-activity relationships in this series of compounds are discussed.

Synthesis of peripherally acting analgesic 3-arylpiperazinyl-5-benzyl-pyridazines.

A series of 3-arylpiperazinyl-5-benzyl-pyridazines was synthesized and evaluated for analgesic activity. The structures of these new pyridazine derivatives were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR spectra and by elementary analysis. With ED50 values ranging from 6.0 to 71.5 mg/kg i.p. most of the compounds were several times more potent than acetaminophen (ED50 = 228.6 mg/kg i.p.) and noramidopyrine ((ED50 = 68.8 mg/kg i.p.) in the phenylbenzoquinone-induced writhing test (PBQ-test). Quantitative structure-activity relationships were accomplished by a Hansch analysis. The most active pyridazines 2h-j exhibited sedative properties from the dose of 25 mg/kg i.p. Their lack of activity in the hot plate test was in favour of peripherally acting agents. In the PBQ test, analgesic activity of 2h-j was antagonized by naloxone. However, their antinociceptive effect added up to those of 5-hydroxytryptophan when given in association with carbidopa. These results demonstrated that analgesic properties of pyridazine derivatives might involve a serotonergic pathway without interaction with opiodergic systems.

Synthesis, antiproliferative, and antiviral activity of certain 4-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine nucleosides: an entry into a novel series of adenosine analogues.

The preparation of novel heterocyclic base modified adenosine analogues, the 4-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine nucleosides, is described. Crucial to their successful preparation was the use of the pyrrole glycoside intermediates 3-cyano-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrole (11) and 3-cyano-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)pyrrole (17). Treatment of 11 and 17 with hydrazine dihydrochloride followed by treatment with boron trichloride provided 4-amino-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine (2) and 4-amino-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine (3), respectively. 4-Amino-3-bromo-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyridazine (4) was prepared by a bromination of 4-amino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyri daz ine (12) and subsequent removal of the benzyl groups with boron trichloride. Compounds 2-4 were evaluated for antiproliferative and antiviral activity. The tubercidin analogue (2) and its arabinosyl derivative (3) were virtually inactive in all assays. In contrast, the 3-bromo analogue 4 inhibited growth of L1210 and H. Ep. 2 cells. Compound 4 was also active against human cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus type 1, but the antiviral activity was not completely separated from cytotoxicity.

Synthesis and Reactions of Haloazodienes. A New and General Synthesis of Substituted Pyridazines.

The reaction of dihalohydrazones with Hünig's base gives 1-carbethoxy-3-phenyl-4-haloazodienes in-situ, which were found to combine with a variety of electron rich olefins to yield halo-substituted tetrahydropyridazines (Scheme 2 and Table 1 ). These haloazodiene cyclizations are best characterized as inverse electron demand, 4 + 2 hetero Diels-Alder reactions that maintain a high degree of regio- and stereochemical control (Schemes 5 and 6). The chloro-substituted tetrahydropyridazines that are formed give high yields of substituted pyridazines upon treatment with base (Table 1). The sequence of a chloroazodiene cyclization to a tetrahydropyridazine followed by an aromatization constitutes a new and general synthesis of substituted pyridazines. In contrast to the haloazodiene cyclizations, the novel cyclization reactions of the in-situ generated 1-carbethoxy-3-phenyl-4,4-dichloroazodiene were found to give N-aminopyrroles and pyridazines when combined with acyclic enamines (Table 3 ). However, reactions with cyclic enamines gave the N-aminopyrroles, pyridazines, a dihydropyridazine as products as well as the noncyclized enamine intermediates (Table 4 ). The noncyclized enamines could be converted to the N-aminopyrroles simply upon heating to higher temperatures, indicating a stepwise mechanism (Schemes 8 and 9). The examples described here are the first reported cyclization reactions for dichloroazodienes.

Synthesis of 5-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines with antioxidant properties.

5-Substituted pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines have been prepared by cyclisation of pyridazine with diphenylcyclopropenone followed by further functionalisations in the pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine 5-position. Several compound exhibit profound inhibition of lipid peroxidation in vitro. Lipid peroxidation of boiled rat liver microsomes was induced by ascorbic acid/FeSO4 and the peroxidation was determined by measuring the thiobarbituric acid reactive material.

Heterocyclic synthesis with nitriles: new routes for synthesis of pyridazines, pyridines and their fused derivatives.

Phenylazocyanothioacetamide 1 reacts with malononitrile to afford the pyridinethione 4 which reacts with phenacylbromide to yield the pyridine-S-phenacyl derivative 6. 1 reacts with ethyl cyanoacetate to yield the pyridazine derivative, 8, and with phenacyl bromide to afford the N-phenacyl derivative 11, instead of the thiazole 10. Compound 11 afforded the pyrazolopyridine 13 on reaction with malononitrile while 10 was obtained on coupling of the thiazole 14 with diazotised aniline. Compound 10 reacts with malononitrile to afford the thiazolyl pyridazine 15. Compound 1 reacts with malononitrile dimer to afford the pyridopyridazine derivative 17a. 1 reacts also with active methylene heterocycles to afford the pyrazolo and thiazolo-fused pyridazines 20 and 23 respectively.

Metabolites of 3-hydrazino-6-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]pyridazine dihydrochloride in rat urine.

In 24 hr urine of rats orally given 150 mg/kg of 3-hydrazino-6-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]pyridazine dihydrochloride (DL 150), no unchanged compound was detected. Three metabolites, less polar than DL 150, were isolated, their structures assigned by UV, MS, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies, and confirmed by synthesis. They are: 3-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-6-isopropoxypyridazine (1); 3-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]pyridazine (2); 3-methyl-6-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine (3). The metabolism of DL 150 in the rat follows some of the metabolic pathways reported for hydralazine.

The in vivo metabolism of 3-oxo-5-benzylidene-6-methyl-(4H)-2-(benzoylmethyl)pyridazine in rats.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the in vivo metabolic pathway of 3-oxo-5-benzylidene-6-methyl-(4H)-2-(benzoylmethyl)pyridazine (substrate) in rats. Firstly its potential metabolites, i.e. N-dealkylation, ring scission of pyridazine and aromatic hydroxylation products, were synthesized and then the substrate was given orally (100 mg/kg) to male or female Wistar rats at a dose of 100 mg/kg to body weight. Blood samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after administration of substrate and blood was centrifuged to obtain serum. The substrate and its potential metabolites were separated using a gradient HPLC method on a reverse phase system. This study revealed that 3-oxo-5-benzylidene-6-methyl-(4H)-2-(benzoylmethyl)pyridazine was not metabolized to the proposed metabolites and was present unchanged in the serum.

Substituted imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines. New compounds with activity at central and peripheral benzodiazepine receptors.

A large range of substituted imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines have been synthesized, and a number of potent ligands at central benzodiazepine (Bz) receptors on rat brain membranes have been identified in initial binding screens using [3H]diazepam. For those tested more extensively, binding studies conducted in the presence and absence of gamma-aminobutyric acid suggest that they were full receptor agonists. Some preliminary evidence was found suggesting some species selectivity, i.e. several of the compounds were more active in in vivo tests in rats than in mice. The agonist activity of these 2-phenyl (and substituted phenyl) imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines is consistent with the model of Bz receptor ligands as proposed by Fryer [Raven Press, 1983, pp. 7-20]. Several compounds were identified which had more selective activity at peripheral-type (mitochondrial) Bz binding sites. Thus, substituted imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines represent yet another class of low molecular mass compounds which have activity at Bz receptor sites.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-aryl-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazine derivatives: high-affinity ligands to the alpha 2 delta subunit of voltage gated calcium channels.

A novel class of 6-aryl-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazine ligands for the alpha2delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels has been described. Substitutions in the aryl ring of the molecule were generally not tolerated, and resulted in diminished binding to the alpha2delta subunit. Modifications to the pyridazine ring revealed numerous permissive substitutions, and detailed SAR studies were carried out in this portion of the molecule. Replacement of the pyridazine ring methyl group with an aminomethyl functionality provided greatly improved potency over the initial lead. The initial lead compound displayed good rat pharmacokinetic properties, and was shown to be efficacious in the Chung model for neuropathic pain in rats.

Synthesis of new series of 1-Aryl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-6-methyl pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid as potential antibacterial agents.

New series of 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-6-methyl pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid has been synthesized and the structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of 1H-NMR, mass (ES/MS), elemental analysis and IR spectral data. In vitro antibacterial activity (MIC activity) was evaluated and compared with standard drugs ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and trovafloxacin. Most of the compounds in the series have shown very interesting antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. In this paper, we describe studies leading to identification of antibacterial agents incorporating novel pyridazine ring surrogate. In a gratifying result, the initial pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid analogues prepared were found to exhibit in vitro antibacterial activity approaching that of corresponding fluoroquinolone progenitor.

Pharmacophore requirements in new series of pyridazinyl alkanoic acids, N-[(pyridazin-2-yl) alkyl] succinyl and glutaryl amides, inhibitors of thromboxane A2 biosynthesis.

New series of 5-benzyl-6-methyl-4-oxo pyridazin-2-yl alkanoic acids, N-[(pyridazin-2-yl)alkyl] succinyl and glutaryl amides have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro as TXA2 biosynthesis inhibitors. The experiments were carried out using arachidonic acid (32.8 microM) as a substrate and horse platelet microsomes as sources of TXA2 synthase. The presence of TXB2, a stable metabolite of TXA2, was determined by RIA. The potency of active compounds (1.10(-4) < IC 50 < 1.10(-6) M) greatly depends on the length of the chain at the N-2 position on the pyridazine ring. Furthermore, enzyme inhibition in vitro is increased with the presence of a halogen atom on the aromatic moiety of the benzyl group at C-5. Compound 4f having a pentanoic side chain and a 4-fluoro benzyl moiety was the most active derivative with an IC50 value of 6.69 x 10(-6) M. Molecular modelling studies were done on all the synthesized pyridazinones and on prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) suggesting spatial features and volumes of TXA2 synthase pharmacophore mode in these series of derivatives.

Pyridazine based inhibitors of p38 MAPK.

Trisubstituted pyridazines were synthesized and evaluated as in vitro inhibitors of p38MAPK. The most active isomers were those possessing an aryl group alpha and a heteroaryl group beta relative to the nitrogen atom in the 2-position of the central pyridazine. Additionally, substitution in the 6-position of the central pyridazine with a variety of dialkylamino substituents afforded a set of inhibitors having good (p38 IC50 1-20 nM) in vitro activity.

Syntheses and evaluation of pyridazine and pyrimidine containing bioisosteres of (+/-)-pyrido[3.4-b]homotropane and pyrido-[3.4-b]tropane as novel nAChR ligands.

Bioisosteric replacement of the pyridine pharmacophoric element in (+/-)-pyrido[3.4-b]homotropane (PHT) and pyrido[3.4-b]tropane with the pyridazine and pyrimidine nucleus resulted in hitherto unknown nAChR ligands such as 5-8. Inverse type Diels-Alder reactions constitute the key steps in the new routes to the pyridazine- or pyrimidine-annulated bioisosteres. The enantiopure (+)-2-tropinone (11) from the 'chiral pool' is transformed to the ring-expanded silyl enol ether 12 and to the enamine 15. Both proved to be highly dienophilic species in the inverse type [4+2] cycloaddition reactions with the 1,2,4,5-tetrazines 13 and 16a,b or with the 1,3,5-triazine 19 to provide the enantiopure target compounds 5-7. In the same way the racemic pyrimidine-annulated species 8 was obtained from 3-tropanone 21. The new ligands were tested for their in vitro affinity for (alpha4)2(beta2)3 and alpha7* nAChR subtype. In comparison to PHT, well known to exhibit affinity for agonist binding sites in rat brain approximately equivalent to that of (+)-anatoxin-a (1), replacement of the pyridine by the bioisosteric pyridazine resulted in 30-fold lower affinity at the (alpha4)2(beta2)3 subtype. The annulated diazinotropanes 6-8, ligands with ferruginine-like structures more or less retained the affinity of (-)-norferruginine (3) except of compound 7. Remarkably, all of the novel ligands are devoid of affinity at the alpha7* subtype.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of N4-substituted imidazo- and v-triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides.

The chemical synthesis of certain N4-substituted imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine and v-triazolo[4,5-d]-pyridazine nucleosides is described. In both series, the 4-chloro analogues, i.e., 4-chloro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyr idazine (5a) and 4-chloro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-v-triazolo[4,5- d]pyridazine (5b), were used as synthons to the target nucleosides. Nucleoside 5b was far more reactive toward nucleophilic displacements than 5a. Attempted deprotection of 5b was always accompanied with displacement of the 4-chloro substituent, whereas 5a was conveniently deacetylated without loss of the chloro group. Biological evaluation of the title nucleosides included antitumor studies and substrate/inhibition studies with certain purine-metabolizing enzymes. The corresponding adenosine analogues, i.e., 2-aza-3-deazaadenosine (6a) and 2,8-diaza-3-deazaadenosine (6b), were very slowly reacting substrates and weak inhibitors of bovine adenosine deaminase, whereas the inosine analogues were highly resistant to human purine nucleoside phosphorylase. The 4-benzylamino derivatives were weak inhibitors of adenosine transport into human erythrocytes. The inosine, adenosine, and selected N4-substituted analogues exhibited no in vitro toxicity toward murine L1210 leukemia and B16 melanoma cells.

Inhibition of monoamine oxidase-B by condensed pyridazines and pyrimidines: effects of lipophilicity and structure-activity relationships.

A number of condensed pyridazines and pyrimidines were synthesized and tested for their monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) and MAO-B inhibitory activity. Their lipophilicity was examined by measuring partition coefficients and RP-HPLC capacity factors, revealing some peculiar electronic and conformational effects. Further insights were obtained by X-ray crystallography and a thermodynamic study of RP-HPLC retention. Structure-activity relations highlighted the main factors determining both selectivity and inhibitory potency. Thus, while most of the condensed pyridazines were reversible inhibitors of MAO-B with little or no MAO-A effects, the pyrimidine derivatives proved to be reversible and selective MAO-A inhibitors. Substituents on the diazine nucleus modulated enzyme inhibition. A QSAR analysis of X-substituted 3-X-phenyl-5H-indeno[1,2-c]pyridazin-5-ones showed lipophilicity to increase MAO-B and not MAO-A inhibitory activity.

Inhibitory mode of N-phenyl-4-pyrazolo[1,5-b] pyridazin-3-ylpyrimidin-2-amine series derivatives against GSK-3: molecular docking and 3D-QSAR analyses.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) inhibition is an important research topic because of its wide range of associated health implications. The interaction mode of a series of N-phenyl-4-pyrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazin-3-ylpyrimidin-2-amine compounds with human GSK-3 has been studied using molecular docking and 3D-QSAR approaches. In the 3D-QSAR studies, the molecular alignment and conformation determination are so important that they affect the success of a model. Flexible docking (AutoDock3.0.5) was used for the determination of 'active' conformation and molecular alignment. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were used to develop 3D-QSAR models of 80 N-phenyl-4-pyrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazin-3-ylpyrimidin-2-amine compounds. The r(2) values were 0.870 and 0.861 for CoMFA and CoMSIA models, respectively. The predictive ability of these models was validated by 10 compounds of the test set. Mapping these models back to the topology of the active site of GSK-3 led to a better understanding of the vital N-phenyl-4-pyrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazin-3-ylpyrimidin-2-amines-GSK-3 interactions. The results demonstrate that combination of ligand-based and receptor-based modeling is a powerful approach to build 3D-QSAR models. The interaction mode from this study may be helpful for the design of a novel inhibitor and guide the selection of candidate sites for further experimental studies on site-directed mutagenesis.
