An efficient method for the preparation of thieno[3＇,2＇：2,3]pyrido[4,5-d]thiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidin-5-ones 5 is described. The key intermediate, 7-（3-amino-4-cyano-5-phenyl aminothieno-2-yl）-5H-thiazolo-[80_TD$IF]3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one（3）, was synthesized from 7-chloromethyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one（1）with potassium-（2,2-dicyano-1-phenylaminoethen-1-yl）thiolate（2） by Thorpe–Ziegler isomerization.Subsequent reaction of the intermediate amine with aromatic aldehydes via Pictet–Spengler reaction provided thieno-pyridine fused thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines under p-Ts OH as catalyst in good yields.

Bronsted acidic ionic liquid [C_3SO_3HDoim]HSO_4 catalyzed one-pot three-component Biginelli-type reaction: An efficient and solvent-free synthesis of pyrimidinone derivatives and its mechanistic study

A series of Bronsted acidic ionic liquids（ILs） were prepared and used for Biginelli-type condensation reaction among aromatic aldehydes, urea or thiourea and cyclopentanone. Through this reaction, the synthesis of various pyrimidinones could be achieved. Of interest, it was found that the reaction was efficiently catalyzed by a novel, eco-friendly functionalized IL [C3SO3HDoim]HSO4, which could be reused for at least 7 times without significantly loss of catalytic activity. The reaction proceeded efficiently at 80℃ to afford the desired products in good yield（up to 96%）. In addition, a possible mechanism that accounted for the IL [C3SO3HDoim]HSO4-catalyzed reaction was proposed.

A class of new potential antibacterial agents with distinctive pyrimidinone benzimidazole skeleton was developed through nucleophilic substitution and Biginelli reaction starting from urea,ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate and various aldehydes.Some target molecules exhibited strong antibacterial activities,especially pyrimidinone benzimidazole hybrid 9e possessed the strongest inhibitory effects on the growth of E.faecalis and P.aeruginosa with a lower MIC value of 1μg/mL than norfloxacin.Moreover,compound 9e displayed strong antibiofilm capacity,low drug resistance and excellent biosafety toward human red blood cells.Further research revealed that compound 9e could disrupt membrane integrity and cause leakage of cellular components such as proteins and nucleic acids.Meanwhile,compound 9e could decrease lactate dehydrogenase activity,block cell metabolism and interact with DNA in an intercalation manner.

A Macroporous Cryogel with Enhanced Mechanical Properties for Osteochondral Regeneration In vivo

The dense networks of conventional hydrogel hinder the efficient cell penetration and thus tissue regeneration.In this study,a macroporous cryogel with excellent mechanical properties was designed and fabricated through cryogelation and crosslinking of methacrylated gelatin(Gel-MA)and gelatin grafted with 2-ureido-4[1H]-6-methyl-pyrimidinone(Gel-UPY).The successful modification of the two functional units on the side chain of gelatin was confirmed by ^(1)H-NMR and infrared spectroscopy.The macroporous structure of cryogel was verified by scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy.The compressive modulus of cryogel(110 kPa)was 2 magnitudes higher than that of the conventional hydrogel of the same chemical compositions(8 kPa).Both the hydrogel and cryogel exhibited excellent stress-recovery ability.The cryogel could well maintain the viability of chondrocytes and facilitated their migration into the scaffold interior.After being implanted into osteochondral defects in rabbits for 12 w,the Gel-MA/Gel-UPY cryogel better facilitated the regeneration of upper cartilage and subchondral bone compared to the conventional hydrogel.
