Antiprotozoal thiazoles. 2. 2-(5-Nitro-2-furyl-, thiazolyl-, and 1-methylimidazolyl-)thiazoles.

Ten 2-substituted 4-thiazolecarboxaldehyde hydrazones bearing 5-nitro-2-furyl, 5-nitro-2-thiazolyl, and 1-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl functions have been prepared and screened for activity against Trypanosoma cruzi infections in mice. The results permitted the ranking of these substituents in decreasing order of activity: 1-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl greater than 5-nitro-2-furyl greater than 5-nitro-2-thiazolyl, the last being inactive. Some structural features of the side chain necessary for optimum activity are discussed. The most active compound, 4-[[[2-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-4-thiazolyl]methylene]amino]thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide, compared favorably with the standard Nifurtimox against three recent clinical isolates of T. cruzi, including one with a high myocardial tissue infiltration.

[Biosynthesis of thiazole from thiamine in Escherichia coli].

The incorporation into the thiazole moiety of thiamine of several labeled compounds has been studied on short time incubations of washed-cells suspensions. No incorporation of radioactivity from [G-14C] methionine was found in a mutant auxotrophic for methionine. No radioactivity was incorporated from [U-14C] aspartate or from [U-14C] serine. The incorporation of 35S from sulphate was lowered by cysteine or glutathione but was unaffected by methionine or homocystine. Although the synthesis of thiazole is dependent on methionine, neither the sulphur atom nor the carbon chain of thiazole originate from methonine in E. coli. No carbon originates from cysteine which is the likely direct donor of sulphur.

Synthesis and antiviral activity of certain thiazole C-nucleosides.

A general reaction of glycosyl cyanides with liquid hydrogen sulfide in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine to provide the corresponding glycosylthiocarboxamides is described. These glycosylthiocarboxamides were utilized as the precursors for the synthesis of 2-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide and 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-5-carboxamide (23). The structural modification of 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide (12) into 2-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide (15), 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-thiocarboxamide (17), and 2-(5-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide (19) is also described. These thiazole nucleosides were tested for in vitro activity against type 1 herpes virus, type 3 parainfluenza virus, and type 13 rhinovirus and an in vivo experiment was run against parainfluenza virus. They were also evaluated as potential inhibitors of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. It was shown that the compounds (12 and 15) which possessed the most significant antiviral activity were also active inhibitors (40-70%) of guanine nucleotide biosynthesis.

[Pathomorphological studies of experimental thiazole-80 poisoning in sheep].

Investigations on the pathomorphological changes occurring in the organisms of 4 sheep poisoned experimentally by varying Thiazole-80 doses applied orally were made. It was established macroscopically that after opening the rumen a smell of sulfuric hydrogen is felt. The abomasum was with rusty brown haemorrhages and liver distrophy as well as enlarged gall bladder were observed. The histological studies of parenchymal organs revealed vascular disturbances, hyperemia, oedema and intervascular haemolysis. A heavy diffuse nephrosis, hyaline and protein cylinders were found in the kidney cortex, while in the ganglial cells of medula oblongata were evident degenerative changes. Histochemically, in sheep poisoned by thiazole-80, a well expressed reaction to iron in the lungs, leptomeniges and distrophic hepatocytes were established. Glycogen quantity in the liver was considerably reduced.

Click synthesis of some novel benzo[d]thiazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrid compounds with benzamide and/or benzoate tethers as EGFR-dependent signaling inhibitors against breast cancer.

The elaboration of anti-breast cancer agents targeting EGFR represents a promising strategy in medicinal chemistry. Consequently, under optimized Cu(i)-catalyzed click synthesis, a new library of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole-based benzo[d]thiazole scaffold carrying benzamide and/or benzoate tethers 5a-t was designed, synthesized, and characterized by appropriate spectral techniques. They were also screened for their in vitro anti-cancer activity against a panel of cancer cell lines, breast (T47D), prostate (PC3), lung (A549), and colon (HCT116) human cancer, along with normal fibroblast cells. Notably, the hybrid triazoles, 5p, 5s, and 5t emerged as the most potent candidates, especially against T47D, with IC50 values of 15, 26, and 28 μM, respectively. Compound 5p significantly induced apoptosis in T47D by 27.3-fold, causing total apoptosis of 19.39% compared to 0.71%, arresting cell proliferation at the G2/M phase. Regarding EGFR as the molecular target, among the tested compounds, 5p significantly inhibited EGFR by 96.8%, with an IC50 value of 65.6 nM, compared to erlotinib, having an IC50 value of 84.1 nM. Compound 5p showed promising PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibition as the EGFR-dependent signaling pathway with IC50 values of 4.98 μM, 0.21 μM, and 0.49 nM, respectively, compared to their reference inhibitors. Finally, a molecular docking study highlighted the binding mode disposition and binding interactions with key amino acids as a promising EGFR inhibitor.

Stable isotope studies on the biosynthesis of the thiazole moiety of thiamin in Escherichia coli.

Deuterated and 13C-labeled sugars were fed to Escherichia coli growing on defined medium. The position and extent of incorporation of the label into the 4-methyl-5-beta-hydroxyethylthiazole portion of thiamin and other cellular components were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the contiguous five-carbon unit of the 4-methyl-5-beta-hydroxyethylthiazole is biosynthetically derived from pyruvate and a triose phosphate.

Studies on the derivatives of thiazole acetic acid. II. Syntheses and pharmacological analysis of 2-N-aralkylidene and 2-N-aralkyl derivatives of 2-amino-4-p-chlorophenylthiazole-5-acetic acid.

A number of 2-N-aralkylidene, 2-N-aralkyl and 2-N-aralkyl-alpha-sulphoderivatives of 2-amino-4-p-chlorophenylthiazole-5-acetic acid (I, R = H) and its methyl ester (I, R = CH3) were synthesized. As a result of condensation of methyl ester I with various aromatic aldehydes in boiling benzene solution, the Schiff-bases (anils) II--VIII were obtained. After reduction with NaBH4 compounds II--VIII were transformed into adequate amino esters IX--XV. Esters IX--XV heated with diluted aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide underwent selective hydrolysis giving the respective amino acids XVI--XXII. Some of Schiff bases (II, III, V, VII, VIII) reacted with aqueous alcoholic solution of sodium bisulphite after its several (XXIII--XXVII). alpha-sulphoderivatives had been obtained. Several tests were performed in order to detect the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity of the compounds. The pharmacological analysis allowed us to draw conclusions concerning the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity in this group of compounds. The most efficacious immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory activity exhibited 2-aralkyl-alpha-sulphoderivatives.

[Pharmacological properties of dl-2-(3'-t-butylamino-2'-hydroxypropylthio)-4-(5'-carbamoyl-2'-thienyl) thiazole hydrochloride (S-596), a new beta-adrenergic blocking agent (author's transl)].

We developed a new beta-adrenergic blocking, antiarrhythmic compound S-596 and compared the findings with those of propranolol or practolol. S-596 antagonized the positive chronotropic and inotropic actions of adrenaline in isolated guinea-pig atria, and blocked the relaxant response to adrenaline of isolated guinea pig tracheal strips. In anesthetized mongrel dogs, S-596 given intravenously inhibited increases in heart rate and myocardial contractile force and decreases in systemic blood pressure induced by isoproterenol. In conscious dogs, the oral administration of S-596 reduced the isoproterenol induced tachycardia and the maximal effect was attained one hour after administration. In this regard S-596 was about 5 times more potent than propranolol, and S-596 was significantly longer-acting than propranolol. Thus, S-596 has greater beta-blocking activity than propranolol. S-596 has a lesser degree of myocardial depressant action than propranolol in spontaneously contracting rat or guinea pig atria and no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity in reserpinized rats. S-596 also has a weaker local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic activity than propranolol, as determined in guinea pigs and rabbits.

Degradation kinetics of a substituted carbinolamine in aqueous media.

The apparent first-order breakdown of the medicinally active agent 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ol was studied in aqueous solutions where dehydration gave the unsaturated compound 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydro-2-ethylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole. This thiazole was the primary solvolytic product produced in approximately quantitative yields for the temperature range studied and ostensibly underwent no further reaction in acidic media even on prolonged heating. Investigations were carried out at various pH values in standard buffers at constant ionic strength. The ionization constants of the compounds are reported as well as the apparent activation energies for the degradation in acid and acetate buffers. The influence of ionic strength on the velocity constant was determined.

Biosynthesis of thiamin in Bacillus subtilis. Isolation of mutants accumulating 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine phosphate.

Thiamin-deficient mutants of Bacillus subtilis were characterized by their growth responses to the pyrimidine and thiazole moieties of the vitamin molecule and by cross-feeding tests. All mutants growing on the thiazole moiety and all mutants with an absolute requirement for thiamin fed all those growing on the pyrimidine moiety. No other cross-feeding effects were observed. From the culture fluid of a mutant growing on the thiazole moiety, two compounds were isolated which supported growth of mutants requiring the pyrimidine moiety. These compounds were identified by chromatographic, bioautographic and spectrophotometric procedures as 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine and its monophosphate derivative.
