Benzo[b]thiophene analogues of the allylamine antimycotic terbinafine (2) bearing the side chain at various positions and optionally substituted by halogen have been prepared and their antifungal activity studied. Derivatives bearing the side chain at positions 3, 4, or 7 are bioequivalents of 2. Compounds containing the allylamine side chain at position 7, with a further substituent at position 3, showed significantly enhanced activity against Candida albicans, an effect which appears to be specifically linked only to this particular substitution pattern. 3-Chloro-7-benzo[b]thienyl derivative 7m was found to be the most potent allylamine antimycotic identified so far. In general, substituted benzo[b]thiophenes can be used not only as potential equivalents of naphthalene in bioactive compounds but also as a tool to selectively modify biological activities.

The preparation of a series of 2-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-substituted carboxylic acids of benzo[b]furan, benzo-[b]thiophene, indole, and naphthalene is described. All compounds showed a similar level of activity as TxA2 synthetase inhibitors in vitro, having IC50 values between 1 and 7 X 10(-8) M. In the cases examined, compounds had, at most, only negligible activity against PGI2 synthetase, cyclooxygenase, and steroid 11 beta-hydroxylase. The benzo[b]thiophenes generally showed the greatest potency in vivo, and compounds 72, 73, and 75 caused almost complete inhibition of thromboxane production for 6 h after oral administration of 0.5 mg/kg to conscious dogs. In the case of 73 and 75, thromboxane production was still inhibited by 80% after 24 h.

1,2-Dihydro-1-hydroxy-2-(organosulfonyl)areno[d] [1,2,3]diazaborines 2 (arene = benzene, naphthalene, thiophene, furan, pyrrole) were synthesized by reaction of (organosulfonyl)hydrazones of arene aldehydes or ketones with tribromoborane in the presence of ferric chloride. The activities of 2 against bacteria in vitro and in vivo (Escherichia coli) were determined and structure-activity relationships are discussed. Included in this study are 2,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1H-2,1-benzazaborole+ ++ (3) and 1-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-2,1-benzazabor ine (4) as well as the carbacyclic benzodiazaborine analogue 4-hydroxy-3-(p-tolylsulfonyl)isoquinoline (7). The nature of the active species is briefly discussed.

Isopropylbenzene-degrading bacteria, including Pseudomonas putida RE204, transform benzothiophene to a mixture of compounds. Induced strain RE204 and a number of its Tn5 mutant derivatives were used to accumulate these compounds and their precursors from benzothiophene. These metabolites were subsequently identified by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. When strain RE204 was incubated with benzothiophene, it produced a bright yellow compound, identified as trans-4-[3-hydroxy-2-thienyl]-2-oxobut-3-enoate, formed by the rearrangement of cis-4-(3-keto-2,3-dihydrothienyl)-2-hydroxybuta-2,4-dieno ate, the product of 3-isopropylcatechol-2,3-dioxygenase-catalyzed ring cleavage of 4,5-dihydroxybenzothiophene, as well as 2-mercaptophenylglyoxalate and 2'-mercaptomandelaldehyde. A dihydrodiol dehydrogenase-deficient mutant, strain RE213, converted benzothiophene to cis-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dihydrobenzothiophene and 2'-mercaptomandelaldehyde; neither trans-4-[3-hydroxy-2-thienyl]-2-oxobut-3-enoate nor 2-mercaptophenylglyoxalate was detected. Cell extracts of strain RE204 catalyzed the conversion of cis-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dihydrobenzothiophene to trans-4-[3-hydroxy-2-thienyl]-2-oxobut-3-enoate in the presence of NAD+. Under the same conditions, extracts of the 3-isopropylcatechol-2,3-dioxygenase-deficient mutant RE215 acted on cis-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dihydrobenzothiophene, forming 4,5-dihydroxybenzothiophene. These data indicate that oxidation of benzothiophene by strain RE204 is initiated at either ring. Transformation initiated at the 4,5 position on the benzene ring proceeds by three enzyme-catalyzed reactions through ring cleavage. The sequence of events that occurs following attack at the 2,3 position of the thiophene ring is less clear, but it is proposed that 2,3 dioxygenation yields a product that is both a cis-dihydrodiol and a thiohemiacetal, which as a result of this structure undergoes two competing reactions: either spontaneous opening of the ring, yielding 2'-mercaptomandelaldehyde, or oxidation by the dihydrodiol dehydrogenase to another thiohemiacetal, 2-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene, which is not a substrate for the ring cleavage dioxygenase but which spontaneously opens to form 2-mercaptophenylglyoxaldehyde and subsequently 2-mercaptophenylglyoxalate. The yellow product, trans-4-[3-hydroxy-2-thienyl]-2-oxobut-3-enoate, is a structural analog of trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate, an intermediate of the naphthalene catabolic pathway; extracts of recombinant bacteria containing trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase catalyzed the conversion of trans-4-[3-hydroxy-2-thienyl]-2-oxobut-3-enoate to 3-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, which could then be further acted on, in the presence of NAD+, by extracts of recombinant bacteria containing the subsequent enzyme of the naphthalene pathway, salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase.

The inhibitory effect of creosote compounds on the aerobic degradation of benzene was studied in microcosm experiments. A total removal of benzene was observed after twelve days of incubation in microcosms where no inhibition was observed. Thiophene and benzothiophene, two heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing sulfur (S-compounds), had a significant inhibitory effect on the degradation of benzene, but also an inhibitory effect of benzofuran (an O-compound) and 1-methylpyrrole (a N-compound) could be observed, although the effect was weaker. The NSO-compounds also had an inhibitory effect on the degradation of p-xylene, o-xylene, and naphthalene, while they only had a weak influence on the degradation of 1-methylnaphthalene, o-cresol and 2,4-dimethylphenol. The phenolic compounds seemed to have a weak stimulating effect on the degradation of benzene whereas the monoaromatic hydrocarbons and the naphthalenes had no significant influence on the benzene degradation. The inhibitory effect of the NSO-compounds on the aerobic degradation of benzene could be identified as three different phenomena. The lag phase increased, the degradation rate decreased, and a residual concentration of benzene was observed in microcosms when NSO-compounds were present. The results show that NSO-compounds can have a potential inhibitory effect on the degradation of many creosote compounds, and that inhibitory effects in mixtures can be important for the degradation of different compounds.

The inhibiting effect of 14 typical creosote compounds on the aerobic degradation of toluene was studied in batch experiments. Four NSO-compounds (pyrrole, 1-methylpyrrole, thiophene, and benzofuran) strongly inhibited the degradation of toluene. When the NSO-compounds were present together with toluene, little or no degradation of toluene was observed during 16 days of incubation, compared with a total removal of toluene within 4 days when the four compounds were absent. Indole (an N-compound) and three phenolic compounds (phenol, o-cresol, and 2,4-dimethylphenol) also inhibited the degradation of toluene, though the effect was much weaker that of the four NSO-compounds. O-xylene, p-xylene, naphthalene and 1-methylnaphthalene seemed to stimulate the degradation even though the influence was very weak. No effects of benzothiophene (an S-compound) and quinoline (an N-compound) were observed. Benzofuran (an O-compound) was identified as the compound that most inhibited the degradation of toluene. An effect could be detected even at low concentrations (40 micrograms/l).

Previous studies showed that benzothiophene and 3- and 5-methylbenzothiophenes are oxidized by some bacteria to yield their corresponding sulfones, which were not subsequently degraded. In this study, a filamentous bacterium was isolated, which grew on each of these three sulfones as its sole carbon, sulfur, and energy source. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and scanning electron microscopy, the isolate was found to belong to the genus Pseudonocardia and assigned the strain designation DB1. Benzothiophene sulfone and 3-methylbenzothiophene sulfone were more readily biodegraded than 5-methylbenzothiophene sulfone, and growth on these three compounds resulted in the release of 57, 62, and 28% of the substrate carbon as CO2, respectively. The thiophene ring was also cleaved, and between 44 and 88% of the sulfur from the consumed substrate was found as sulfate and (or) sulfite. Strain DB1 grew on benzoate, dibenzothiophene sulfone, and hexadecanoic acid, but it could not grow on benzofuran, dibenzothiophene, dibenzothiophene sulfoxide, hexadecane, indole, naphthalene, phenol, 2-sulfobenzoic acid, sulfolane, benzothiophene, or 3- or 5-methylbenzothiophenes. In addition, it did not oxidize the latter three compounds to their sulfones.

A series of 1-imidazolyl(alkyl)-substituted quinoline, isoquinoline, naphthalene, benzo[b]furan, and benzo[b]thiophene derivatives was synthesized as dual inhibitors of thromboxane A(2) synthase (P450 TxA(2)) and aromatase (P450 arom). Dual inhibition of these enzymes could be a novel strategy for the treatment of mammary tumors and the prophylaxis of metastases. The most potent dual inhibitors, 5-(2-imidazol-1-ylethyl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline (31) (P450 TxA(2): IC(50) = 0.29 microM; P450 arom: IC(50) = 0.50 microM) and its 5, 6-saturated analogue 30 (P450 TxA(2): IC(50) = 0.68 microM; P450 arom: IC(50) = 0.38 microM), showed a stronger inhibition of both target enzymes than the reference compounds (dazoxiben: IC(50) = 1.1 microM; aminoglutethimide: IC(50) = 18.5 microM). For the determination of the in vivo activity, the influence of selected compounds on serum TxB(2) concentration was examined in rats. Compound 30 (8.5 mg/kg body weight) led to a reduction of the TxB(2) serum level of 78%, 71%, and 51% after 3, 5, and 8 h, respectively (dazoxiben: 60%, 34%, and 36%). Selectivity was studied toward some enzymes of the steroidogenic and eicosanoid pathways. P450 17 was inhibited by selected compounds only at high concentrations. Compound 30 inhibited P450 scc by 13% (25 microM). Compound 31 did not affect cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase.

The mechanisms for the interconversion of facial diastereomers of a variety of TpRe(CO)(L)(eta(2)-L(Ar)) complexes [L = (t)BuNC, pyridine (py), PMe(3), or 1-methylimidazole (MeIm); L(Ar) = benzene, anisole, naphthalene, 1-methylpyrrole, furan, or thiophene; Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate] have been investigated by (1)H NMR spin saturation experiments. In addition, the rates and free energies of activation for these processes were calculated from spin saturation experiments and T(1) measurements. The operative mechanisms for interconversion of the pi diastereomers were found to be nondissociative, undergoing either an interfacial or intrafacial linkage isomerization. A comparison of the kinetic parameters for isomerization of related eta(2)-olefin complexes of the [TpRe(CO)(PMe(3))] and [CpRe(NO)(PPh(3))](+) fragments is also presented.
