Molecular structure, FT-IR, FT-Raman, NBO, HOMO and LUMO, MEP, NLO and molecular docking study of 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromophenyl)ethenyl]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid.[Pubmed:26142173]

The optimized molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, corresponding vibrational assignments of 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromophenyl)ethenyl]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid have been investigated experimentally and theoretically using Gaussian09 software package. Potential energy distribution of the normal modes of vibrations was done using GAR2PED program. (1)H NMR chemical shifts calculations were carried out by using B3LYP functional with SDD basis set. The HOMO and LUMO analysis is used to determine the charge transfer within the molecule. The stability of the molecule arising from hyper-conjugative interaction and charge delocalization has been analyzed using NBO analysis. MEP was performed by the DFT method and the predicted infrared intensities and Raman activities have also been reported. The calculated geometrical parameters are in agreement with that of similar derivatives. The title compound forms a stable complex with PknB as is evident from the binding affinity values and the molecular docking results suggest that the compound might exhibit inhibitory activity against PknB and this may result in development of new anti-tuberculostic agents.

Regioselective synthesis of 2,8-disubstituted 4-aminopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester compounds.[Pubmed:22118529]

J Org Chem. 2012 Jan 6;77(1):243-52.

We report herein the synthesis of 4-amino-2,8-dichloropyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 2 and their regioselective diversification through S(N)Ar and metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. While amination of 2 took place selectively at C-2, the regioselectivity of thiol or thiolate addition depended on the reaction conditions. Selective C-8 addition was obtained in DMF with Hunig's base and C-2 addition in (i)PrOH. These C-2 or C-8 regioselective thiolations provided an opportunistic way to selectively activate either of the two positions toward the metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. The chloride could be efficiently substituted by Suzuki-Miyaura reaction and the sulfanyl group by Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling reaction, demonstrating the orthogonality of both reactive centers. The development of regioselective conditions for these different transformations yielded the synthesis of 4-amino-2,6,8-trisubstituted pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives, with various substituents.

Novel lipophilic 7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid derivatives as potential antitumor agents: improved synthesis and in vitro evaluation.[Pubmed:21067931]

Bioorg Med Chem. 2010 Dec 15;18(24):8537-48.

A convenient route for the synthesis of some acyloxymethyl esters and carboxamides of levofloxacin (LV) with modulated lipophilicity is described. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for their growth inhibitory effect in five human cancer cell lines. The most efficient LV derivatives (ester 2e and amide 4d) displayed IC(50) values in the 0.2-2.2 muM range, while IC(50) values for parent LV ranged between 70 and 622 muM depending on the cell line. The esters displayed no in vivo toxicity up to 80 mg/kg when administered intraperitoneally. This study thus shows that LV analogs displayed antitumor efficacy, at least in vitro, a feature that appeared to be independent from the lipophilicity of the grafted substituent.

7-Amino-2-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid as the dimethylformamide and water monosolvates at 293 K.[Pubmed:20921616]

Acta Crystallogr C. 2010 Oct;66(Pt 10):o503-7.

The molecular structure of 7-amino-2-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid is reported in two crystal environments, viz. as the dimethylformamide (DMF) monosolvate, C(7)H(7)N(5)O(2)S.C(3)H(7)NO, (I), and as the monohydrate, C(7)H(7)N(5)O(2)S.H(2)O, (II), both at 293 (2) K. The triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine molecule is of interest with respect to the possible biological activity of its coordination compounds. While the DMF solvate exhibits a layered structural arrangement through N...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, the monohydrate displays a network of intermolecular O...O and N...O hydrogen bonds assisted by cocrystallized water molecules and weak pi-pi stacking interactions, leading to a different three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Based on results from topological analyses of the electron-density distribution in X-H...O (X = O, N and C) regions, hydrogen-bonding energies have been estimated from structural information only, enabling the characterization of hydrogen-bond graph energies.
