CoMFA Model of Anti-tumor Activity for Fluoroquinolon-3-yl s-Triazole Sulfide-ketone Derivatives and Implications for Molecular Design

Comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA)techniques were used to perform three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR)studies on the anti-tumor activity(pIH and pIC)of 28 fluoroquinolon-3-yl s-triazole sulfide-ketone derivatives(FQTSDs)against two cancer cell lines,including human hepatoma Hep-3B cells and human pancreatic cancer Capan-1 cells.23 compounds were randomly selected as the training set to establish the prediction models,which were verified by the test set of 6 compounds containing template molecule.The obtained cross-validation(Rcv2)and non-cross-validation correlation coefficients(R2)of the CoMFA models were 0.477 and 0.850 for pIH,and 0.421 and 0.836 for pIC,respectively.The contributions of steric and electrostatic fields to pIH were determined to be 48.1%and 51.9%,and those to pIC were 49.4%and 50.6%,respectively.The CoMFA models were then used to predict the activities of the compounds in the training and testing sets,and the models had a strong stability and good predictability.Based on the 3D contour maps,four novel FQTSDs with a higher anti-tumor activity were designed.However,the effectiveness of these novel FQTSDs is still needed to be verified by experimental results.

Design,synthesis and antitumor activities of fluoroquinolone C-3 heterocycles(Ⅳ):s-triazole Schiff-Mannich bases derived from of loxacin

The aim of this research was to produce novel antitumor fluoroquinolones from antibacterial analogs by introduction of a heterocyclic ring as a bioisostere of the C-3 carboxylic acid group.To this end,two series of eleven s-triazole derivatives bearing functionalized side chains of Schiff bases and Schiff Mannich bases were designed and synthesized.Structures were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data after which in vitro antitumor activity against L1210,CHO and HL60 cell lines was evaluated in the MTT assay.Compounds posssing a free phenol group were particularly active and warrant further development.

Synthesis of heierocyclic compounds from 2-phenyl-1, 2,3-triazole-4-formylhydrazine

2-Phenyl-1, 2, 3-triazole-4-formylhydrazine (2) was prepared by hydrazinolysis of the corresponding ester 1. Reaction of 2 with CS2/KOH gave the oxadiazole derivatives (3) which via, Mannich reaction with different dialkyl amines furnished 3-N, N-dialkyl derivatives (4a-c). Also, condensation of 2 with appropriate aromatic acid in POCl3 yielded oxadiazole derivatives (5a-c), or with aldehydes and ketones afforded hydrazones (6a-c). Cyclization of (6a-c) with acetic anhydride gave the desired dihydroxadiazole derivatives (7a-c). On the other hand, reaction of dithiocarbazate (8) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding triazole derivative (9) which on treatment with carboxylic acids in refluxing POCl3 yielded s-triazole[3,4-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole derivatives (10a-b). The structures of all the above compounds were confirmed by means of IR, 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis.
