Abstract

Background

Thiazole is a core structural motif presents in a wide range of natural products. Thiazole derivatives also have a wide range of medicinal and biological properties.

Results

The reaction of hydrazonoyl halides with 2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamidein ethanol and triethylamine yielded 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-(2-Arylhydrazono)-5-s-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)-ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione and 2-(4-(1-(2-(5-(2-Arylhydrazono)-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)-phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione.The reaction of 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione with arylidenemalononitrile also yielded 5-amino-2-(2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-7-substituted-7H-pyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbonitrile. The structures of the newly synthesized compound were elucidated whenever possible on the basis of elemental analysis, spectral data, and alternative synthetic routes. Three of them were evaluated against a breast cancer cell line for their antitumor activity.

Conclusions

Compound (1) has been shown to be useful in the synthesis of a new series of 1,3-thiazole, pyrano[2,3-d]thiazole and 4,5-dihydrothiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives using hydrazonoyl halides as precursors. The anticancer efficacy of compounds (9b), (9e), and (9f) against MCF-7, a breast cancer cell line, was also compared to the standard anticancer drug doxorubicin.

Introduction

In a variety of natural products, such as vitamin B1 (thiamine) and penicillin, thiazole is a core structural motif. Thiazole derivatives also have a wide range of medicinal and biological properties, including antibacterial, antifungal [1], anti-inflammatory [2], antiviral [3], antimalarial [4], and anti-HIV activities [5]. Thiazole analogs can serve as estrogen receptor ligands [6], neuropeptides [7], and Y5 adenosine receptors [8]. They may inhibit the aggregation factor of human platelets [9], urokinase [10], and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 [11]. Furthermore, thiazoles are involved in the development of pain therapy drugs [12]. They act as fibrinogenic receptor antagonists with antithrombotic activity [13], and as new bacterial DNA gyrase B inhibitors [14]. Pyrano[2,3-d]thiazoles show a wide range of drug development applications against obesity, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic diseases [15, 16]. This study is a continuation of our earlier work on the synthesis of biologically active heterocycles [17,18,19,20,21]. The synthesis of new heterocyclic thiazole, pyranothiazole, thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine and thiazolo[5′,4′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives is reported in this document to obtain highly effective antimicrobial and anticancer agents.

Results and discussion

Treatment of 4-aminoacetophenone with isobenzofuran-1,3-dione in a boiling acetic acid produced 2-(4-acetylphenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (1). Compound (1) was reacted with thiosemicarbazide (2) to afford 2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl) ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (3). The structure of compound (3) was deduced by spectral data, elemental analyses, and chemical transformation. In boiling ethanol containing trimethylamine, compound (3) was further reacted with 2-oxo-N-phenylpropanehydrazonoyl chloride (4a) to produce a product that could be isolated by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The compound formula was determined to be: 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-methyl-5-(phenyldiazenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (9a), based on its spectral data and elemental analysis. Similarly, the corresponding hydrazonoyl halides (4b–f) were reacted with compound (3) to produce 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-substituted 5-(aryldiazenyl)thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (9b–f) (Scheme 1). Reaction of compound (3) with ω-bromoacetophenone gave 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (10). Compound (10) has been reacted with benzenediazonium chloride in ethanolic sodium acetate solution to produce a product that is identical in all aspects (mp, mixed mp, and spectra) to compound (9d). Considering these results, the mechanism outlined in Scheme 1 seemed to be the most plausible pathway for the formation of (9) from the reaction of compound (4) or (5) with compound (3). The reaction involves the initial thiohydrazonate formation (8), which underwent intermolecular cyclization directly to afford (9) through elimination of a H2O molecule or through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile imine (5) to the C=S double bond of (3) to afford thiadiazole (7) via elimination of NH3. Structure (7) was excluded on the basis of elemental analyses, spectra data and alternative synthetic route.

However, reaction of compound (3) with ethyl 2-chloro-2-(2-phenylhydrazono)acetate (11a) in ethanol containing a catalytic amount of triethylamine afforded 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-oxo-5-(2-phenylhydrazono)-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)-isoindoline-1,3-dione (12a). The spectral data, elemental analyses, and alternative syntheses elucidated the structure of compound (12a). Reaction of ethyl chloroacetate with compound (3) in boiling ethanol yielded 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)-isoindoline-1,3-dione (13). Coupling of benzenediazonium chloride with (13) in a cold solution of ethanolic sodium acetate gave a product identical in all aspects (mp, mixed mp, and spectra) with compound (12a) (Scheme 2). Analogously, reaction of hydrazonoyl chlorides (11b) and (11c) with compound (3) in ethanolic triethylamine afforded 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-oxo-5-(2-(p-tolyl)hydrazono)-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)-ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (12b) and 2-(4-(1-(2-(5-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydrazono)-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)-hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (12c) (Scheme 2).

Ultimately, the treatment of 2-(4-(1-(2-(4-oxo-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)-isoindoline-1,3-dione (13) with the appropriate 2-(arylemethylene)malononitrile (14a) and (14b) in ethanol containing a catalytic amount of piperidine afforded 5-amino-2-(2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)-hydrazinyl)-7-phenyl-7H-pyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbonitrile (15a) and 5-amino-2-(2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-7-(thien-2-yl)-7H-pyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbonitrile (15b), respectivily. The corresponding structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectral data, elemental analyses, and chemical transformation. Boiling compounds (15a) and (15b) in acetic acid and ammonium acetate afforded 2-(2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-5-oxo-7-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (16a) and 2-(2-(1-(4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)phenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-5-oxo-7-(thien-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (16b), respectively (Scheme 3). The previous reaction was carried out in acetic acid containing ammonium acetate to afford products identical in all aspects (mp, mixed mp, and spectra) with (16a) and (16b) (Scheme 3).

Cytotoxicity evaluations

Through the literary survey it became clear to us that many thiazole derivatives have an excellent anti-tumor activity as shown in Fig. 1 [22, 23]. In light of this, anti-tumor activity was examined for a new series of thiazole substitutes against breast cancer cells line (MCF-7).

Antitumor activity of thiazoles

In comparison with the well—known anticancer standard drug doxorubicin, the in vitro growth inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds (9b), (9e), and (9f) was investigated using trypan blue dye viability test. Data generated were used to determine a dose response curve that determined the concentration of test compounds needed to kill 50% of the cell population (IC50). The cytotoxic activity of three independent experiments was expressed as the mean IC50. In a concentration-based manner, the results showed that all tested compounds showed an inhibitory activity for tumor cell lines. The small IC50 values for the compounds selected indicate that, higher concentrations may be used for more anticancer effect. The results are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 2 as follows:

Cytotoxicity (IC50, μM) of the synthesized compounds (9b), (9e) and (9f) against the MCF-7 breast cell line

The in vitro inhibitory activities of tested compounds against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) have the following descending order: (9b) > (9e) > (9f).

Examination of the SAR leads to the following conclusions:

  • For substituents in position 4 and 5 of the thiazole ring, the following descending order is the in vitro inhibitory activity of tested compounds against the breast cancer cell line. The activity of thiazole (9e) is moderate.

  • For substituents at position 4 and 5 of the thiazole ring, the in vitro inhibitory activity of tested compounds against breast cancer cell line has the following descending order: CH3, 4-CH3C6H4 > 2-C4H3S, C6H5 > 2-C10H7, C6H5 group.

Experimental

All of the melting points were determined using a Gallenkamp electrothermal melting point apparatus (Laim George, Calgary, AB, Canada) and, they are uncorrected. The IR (cm−1) spectra were recorded using a KBr disk on a FTIR-8201 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan). The 1H NMR and13C NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 on a Bruker Bio Spin AG spectrometer (Bruker, Switzerland) at 400 and 100 MHz. Mass spectra were recorded at 70 eV on a Shimadzu GCMS-QP1000 EX mass spectrometer (Tokyo, Japan). Elemental analyses were conducted at the Microanalytical Center of Cairo University. All reactions were followed by TLC (silica gel, Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA). As reported, hydrazonoyl halides have been prepared [24,25,26,27,28,29].

Evaluation of the antitumor activity using viability assay

The carcinoma cell line utilized during this study, MCF-7, was gotten from the American Kind Culture Group (ATCC, Minnesota, USA). RPMI-1640 environment was utilized for culturing and keeping of the human tumor cell lines [30]. The medium was supplied in a powder form. 10.4 Gram powder and 2 g NaHCO3 in 1 L distilled H2O are dissolved to prepare the working solution. Then, in the Melibor bacteria filter (0.22 μm), the medium was sterilized by filtration. The refrigerator was used at 0–4 °C to maintain the prepared medium. The medium was heated at 37 °C in a water bath and supplemented with 1% penicillin streptomycin and 10% of fetal bovine serum before use. Through the use of the sulforhodamine-B (SRB) assay [31] the cytotoxicity assay was performed. SRB is aminoxanthrene dye with two SO3H groups. It is a protein patches that binds to the amino groups of intracellular proteins under slightly acidic conditions to supply a sensitive indicator of cellular protein content. In MCF-7 cells, cytotoxicity was tested for all compounds. At the National Cancer Institute, Cairo, Egypt, by serial subculturing all experiments and data related to the assessment of cellular cytotoxicity were conducted. For the cytotoxicity assay, cells were seeded in 96-well microliter plates at an initial concentration of 3 × 103 cells/well in 150 µL of fresh medium and left to attach to the plates for 24 h. At variable concentrations of 0, 5, 12.5, 25 and 50 μg/mL, the drug was added. Three wells were used for every concentration of drugs and the plates were incubated for 48 h. The cells were fixed by adding 50 μL of cold trichloro acetic acid (10% final concentration) at 4 °C for 1 h. The plates were therefore washed with distilled H2O using an automatic washer (Tecan, Germany) and stained with 50 μL of 0.4%. SRB dissolved in 1% acetic acid at room temperature for 30 min. With 1% acetic acid and dried air, the plates were washed. 100 μL/well of 10 M Tris base (pH 10.5) solubilized the dye. With an ELISA microplate reader (Sunrise Tecan Reader, Tecan, Germany), the optical density (O.D.) of each well was measured spectrophotometrically at 570 nm. The mean absorption of the background was automatically subtracted and the mean values were calculated for each concentration of drugs. Three times the experiment was repeated. The cell survival percentage was calculated as follows: Fraction surviving = O.D. (treated cells)/O.D. (control cells). The values of inhibitory concentration (IC50) (resveratrol concentrations required to inhibit cell growth by 50%) have also been calculated. The relationship between the surviving cells and the concentration of the drug was plotted after treatment with the specified compound to obtain the survival curve of each tumor cell line. The IC50, The concentration required by 50% of intact cells to cause toxic effects, was estimated at each concentration from graphical plots of the dose response curve.

Conclusions

Compound 1 was useful for synthesizing a new series of 1,3-thiazole, pyrano[2,3-d]thiazole and 4,5-dihydrothiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives using hydrazonoyl halides as precursors. The anticancer effectiveness of compounds 9b, 9e, and 9f against the MCF-7, breast cancer cell line, was also compared with that of the standard anticancer drug doxorubicin.
