Several structurally related sulfur- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles including thiazole, pyrazine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, thiophene, and triazole, which are present in tobacco, tobacco smoke, and certain foods, have been employed with the goal of characterizing the effects of these agents on the inhibition and expression of P4502E1 in hepatic tissue and on the molecular level regulatory events governing enhanced expression. The results of this study reveal that whereas the binding constants of these compounds to 2E1 moderately correlated with the percentage inhibition of metabolic activity in vitro (r = 0.66), neither inhibition of metabolic activity nor binding to P4502E1 correlated with relative induction of P4502E1 levels (r = 0.07 and 0.03, respectively). Thiazole, which produced the greatest inhibition of metabolic activity (88%) and exhibited the highest binding affinity for P4502E1 (35 microM), induced P4502E1 approximately fourfold. In contrast, pyrazine and pyridazine, which only marginally inhibited metabolic activity (54 and 41%, respectively), and weakly bound 2E1 (73 and 384 microM, respectively), increased P4502E1 levels approximately four- and fivefold, respectively. A common feature associated with these inducers, however, was the substantial decrease in hepatic P4502E1 poly(A)+ RNA levels in treated animals relative to untreated animals. Slot and Northern blot hybridization analyses revealed an approximately 80% decrease in P4502E1 poly(A)+ RNA levels at 48 hr following treatment of rats with thiazole, and at 24 hr following treatment of animals with either pyrazine or pyridazine, relative to controls. P4502E1 poly(A)+ RNA levels appeared to increase gradually, returning to levels which approximated 60% of the P4502E1 poly(A)+ RNA levels present in untreated animals at 48 and 72 hr following treatment with pyrazine or pyridazine, respectively. The results of these experiments show that thiazole, pyrazine, and pyridazine induce P4502E1 in rats, that the induction of 2E1 is associated with a concomitant decrease in 2E1 poly(A)+ RNA levels, and that these agents differentially affect the expression of P4502E1.

A series of individual sugar-modified pyrimidine nucleosides including enantiomerically enriched 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides 14a-c (alpha and beta anomers of L- and D-series), 2',3'-dideoxy-4'-thionucleosides 21a-c (alpha and beta anomers of L- and D-series), and 2',3'-dideoxy-4'-azanucleosides 28a-c (beta anomers of L- and D-series) were synthesized, with uniform chemistry and high stereochemical efficiency, exploiting a triad of versatile heterocyclic siloxy dienes, namely, 2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)furan (TBSOF), 2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)thiophene (TBSOT), and N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)pyrrole (TBSOP). The synthetic procedure advantageously used both enantiomers of glyceraldehyde acetonide (D-1 and L-1) as sources of chirality and as synthetic equivalents of the formyl cation. The outlined chemistry also allowed for the rapid assemblage of a 30-member collection of racemic nucleosides (D,L-L) as well as one 15-member ensemble of chiral analogues (L-L), along with some related sublibraries.

A series of 2-[[(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl]thio]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4 (1H)-one and 3-substituted 2-[[(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)alky]thio]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4 (3H)-one derivatives was prepared and evaluated for in vitro 5-HT1A receptor affinity by radioligand binding assays; the selectivity for 5-HT1A receptors rather than alpha 1-adrenoceptors was also examined (ratio of the IC50 alpha 1 to IC50 5-HT1A). The binding tests gave indications about the best features of the [(arylpiperazinyl)alkyl]thio moiety and of the substituents on the thiophene and pyrimidinone rings for efficacious and selective 5-HT1A ligands. The most effective derivative for displacing [3H]-8-OH-DPAT from rat hippocampal membranes was the 3-amino-2-[[3-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl] propyl]thio]-5,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (70) (IC50 = 0.3 nM) with selectivity of 24 for the 5-HT1A over the alpha 1-adrenoceptor. Compound 73, where the 2-methoxyphenyl on the N4 piperazine ring was replaced with a pyrimidine group, showed the best selectivity, with a ratio of 74, while its affinity IC50 for 5-HT1A was 6.8 nM. These results, compared to those for compounds 46 (IC50 24 nM; selectivity 2) and 49 (IC50 226 nM; selectivity 5), N3 unsubstituted analogues of derivatives 70 and 73, show the importance of an amino group in position 3 of the thienopyrimidine system for the interaction with 5-HT1A receptor binding sites, although this fragment can affect the affinity and selectivity only if linked to the (arylpiperazinyl)alkyl moiety. The better selectivity of piperidine 74 (IC50 0.8; selectivity 45) compared to the analogous piperazine 70 is also noteworthy. Twenty of the 30 molecules used for determining the binding affinity to 5-HT1A and alpha 1-adrenergic receptors were selected for QSAR analysis using a series of molecular descriptors and calculated with the TSAR software.

The key compound 1-amino-8-iminocyclopenta[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5g) was prepared by reaction of 2-amino-3-cyano cyclopenta[b]thiophene (1) with triethyl orthoformate followed by cyclization with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. Refluxing of 1 with triethyl orthoformate in the presence of acetic anhydride gave an unexpected product 2. while reaction with aromatic amines gave the condensation products 4a-c. Reaction of 5g with formic acid, other formate derivatives, ethoxymethylenemalononitrile and ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate gave the same product cyclopentathieno-[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,2-f]pyrimidine 6. Compound 7 was prepared by different methods. Treatment of 5g with dicarbonyl compounds gave the triazol derivatives 8-11. Reaction of 5g with phenyl isothiocyanate, carbon disulphide and ethyl chloroformate gave the corresponding derivatives 12-14, respectively. Condensation of 5g with some selected aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes, acetone, N-acetyl isatin and isatin gave the condensation products 15a-e, 16-18, respectively in good yields. Many of the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their inhibitory activity against a variety of bacteria such as: Serratia rhodnii, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus citreus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungi such as: Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum and Alternaria alternarta. Some compounds showed modest activity.

Screening of a compound library led to the identification of 2-amino-6-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-8-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1) as a inhibitor of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFr), and c-src tyrosine kinases (TKs). Replacement of the primary amino group at C-2 of 1 with a 4-(N,N-diethylaminoethoxy)phenylamino group yielded 2a, which had greatly increased activity against all three TKs. In the present work, variation of the aromatic group at C-6 and of the alkyl group at N-8 of the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine core provided several analogues that retained potency, including derivatives that were biased toward inhibition of the TK activity of PDGFr. Analogues of 2a with a 3-thiophene or an unsubstituted phenyl group at C-6 were the most potent inhibitors. Compound 54, which had IC50 values of 31, 88, and 31 nM against PDGFr, FGFr, and c-src TK activity, respectively, was active in a variety of PDGF-dependent cellular assays and blocked the in vivo growth of three PDGF-dependent tumor lines.

Three classes of ligands, designed to explore the effect of variations on the central pyridine donor core in bis(imino)pyridine iron and cobalt ethylene polymerization catalysts of the general formula [LMCl(2)] (M = Fe or Co), have been prepared. The first class comprises six-membered N-heterocycles (pyrimidine and triazine) and the second class five-membered heterocycles (furan and thiophene) as the central donor core. In the third class of ligands, the imine donor arm has been extended by one carbon to give anionic tridentate ligands based on carbazole and neutral analogues based on dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene. The coordination behavior of these ligands upon reaction with FeCl(2) or CoCl(2) has been investigated, whereby only in the case of the neutral pyrimidine or the anionic carbazolide unit as the central donor core have stable complexes been obtained. Ethylene polymerization results are compared with the parent bis(imino)pyridine iron and cobalt catalyst systems.

Treatment of 2-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)ethanal with malononitrile, cyanoacetamide and 2-cyano-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide, respectively, in the presence of aluminium oxide yielded 2-cyano-4-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)crotonic acid derivatives. Cyclization with sulfur and triethylamine was performed to synthesize the 2-amino-5-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)thiophene-3-carbonic acid derivatives, which were treated with triethyl orthoformate/ammonia and triethyl orthoformate, respectively, to furnish 6-(methyl 2-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-3-deoxy-alpha-D-altropyranosid-3-yl)thieno[2.3-d]pyrimidine derivatives. Deprotection in two steps afforded 2-amino-5-(1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-beta-D-altropyranos-3-yl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile and 6-(1,6-anhydro-3-deoxy-beta-D-altropyranos-3-yl)thieno[2.3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, respectively.

In this study, the sorption behavior of a wide variety of N-, S-, and O-heterocyclic compounds (NSOs) to reference soils (Eurosoils 1-5) was characterized by a soil column chromatography (SCC) approach. The major goal was to identify the compound specific and environmental factors influencing sorption processes. The sorption of S- and O-heterocyclic compounds (thiophene, benzothiophene, 5-methylbenzo[b]thiophene, benzofuran, 2-methylbenzofuran, and 2,3-dimethylbenzofuran) was generally controlled by nonspecific interactions with soil organic carbon (OC). With regard to non-ionizable N-heterocyclic compounds, pyrrole, 1-methylpyrrole, and pyrimidine were hardly retarded in any soil. The sorption of indole, 2-hydroxyquinoline, and benzotriazole was dominated by specific interaction (e.g., complexation of surface-bound cations) rather than partition to soil OC. The sorption of ionizable N-heterocyclic compounds (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinaldine, 2-methylpyridine, and pyridine) can be described by a conceptual model including partitioning to soil OC, cation exchange, and an additional sorption process (probably surface complexation of the neutral species). Cation exchange was usually the dominant mechanism in the sorption of ionizable compounds if the protonated fraction of the compound exceeded 5%. Otherwise, surface complexation became dominant. Soil pH was the most important factor influencing the sorption of ionizable NSOs. Our study suggests that a fairly precise assessment of sorption in most soils can be expected for N-, S-, and O-heterocyclic compounds if the three sorption mechanisms are taken into accountwhere appropriate. Deviations from this behavior indicated special cases where additional soil specific properties (e.g., accessible surface, CEC, charge density) need to be considered such as for 2-methylpyridine and pyridine sorption to Eurosoil 1.

Chemical and electrochemical oxidation (or p-doping) of three types of pi-conjugated co-oligomers, Py-Th-(Th)n-Th-Py (Py = pyridine unit; Th = thiophene unit; 5a, n = 1; 6a, n = 2), Th-Py-(Th)n-Py-Th (5b: n = 1; 6b: n = 2), and Pym-Th-(Th)n-Th-Pym (Pym = pyrimidine unit; 5c: n = 1; 6c: n = 2), in solution systems has been studied. The chemical oxidation with NOBF(4) proceeded with isosbestic points in the UV-vis spectrum. The UV-vis absorption peak of 5a at 418 nm in CH(2)Cl(2) shifted to 456 nm after oxidation of 5a with NOBF(4). The oxidized 5a was easily reduced by N(2)H(4) to give the original UV-vis spectrum of 5a, and 5b, 6b, and 5c behaved similarly in the oxidation and reduction. In the oxidation by NOBF4, an (oxidized co-oligomer)/(original neutral co-oligomer) ratio of 1 was attained at [NOBF4] = 1.3 x 10(-6), 4 x 10(-6), 7 x 10(-6), and 9 x 10(-6) M for 5a, 6b, 5b, and 5c, respectively. The obtained data are considered to reflect the ease of oxidation of the co-oligomer, which is affected by the electron-accepting nature of the N-containing aromatic unit in the co-oligomer and effective pi-conjugated length of the co-oligomer. The cyclic voltammogram of 5a showed three redox couples with anodic peak current potentials of Epa = 0.75, 1.10, and 1.34 V versus Ag+/Ag, respectively. The first oxidation peak was assigned to one-electron oxidation of 5a, and electronic current of the first anodic peak (i) of 5a and 5c was proportional to (scanning rate)1/2. From the i- (scanning rate)1/2 relationship, diffusion constants, D's, of 5a and 5c were estimated to be 9.6 x 10(-6) and 1.7 x 10(-5) cm2 s(-1), respectively. CV data of 5b with the terminal thiophene units indicated occurrence of electrochemical oxidative polymerization of 5b.
