Abstract: (25 Views)
Objective: A convenient and effective method for the obtaining of a 4-thiazolidinone ring is the [2+3]-cyclocondensation reaction of S,N-binucleophiles with different equivalents of the dielectrophilic synthon [C2]2+. For this purpose, we achieved the synthesis of intermediate N1-methylidenethiosemicarbazones 3a-b starting from 2-amino/allylsulfanyl-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 1-b via Vilsmeier-Haak formylation reaction following by condensation with thiosemicarbazide in acetic acid medium.
Methods: Organic Synthesis, NMR Spectroscopy, Elemental analysis, Pharmacological screening.
Results: The interaction of intermediate N1-methylidenethiosemicarbazones 3a-b with α-halocarboxylic (monochloroacetic, 2-bromopropionic, 2-bromobutanoic) acids or α-bromo-γ-butyrolactone in acetic acid at the presence of sodium acetate was performed. As results, a series of targeted 2-hydrazino-4-thiazolidinones containing 6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole moiety 4a-b and their 5-alkyl substituted derivatives 5a-d and 6a-b were obtained. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds 3a-b, 4a-b, 5a-d, and 6a-b were evaluated for their in vitro antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Feo strain).
Conclusion. The results of in vitro screening of antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (TBG) allowed us to identify three highly active compounds 4b, 5b and 5c, which exhibited significant trypanocidal activity with a range of IC50 values of 3.7-4.4 µM and were comparable to the reference drug nifurtimox (IC50 = 4.4 µM).
