Abstract

:
Pyrimidino[5`,4`-6,5]-,pyridino[3`,2`-6,5]- and pyrrolo[3`,2`-5,6]4H-pyrano-[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-6-one derivatives (5-7 and 10) could be obtained via reaction of 2-amino-4-(p-bromophenyl)-3-cyano(carboethoxy)-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-5-ones (3a,b)with a variety of reagents. Alkylation of (3b) with either 2-furoyl chloride or chloroacetyl chloride gave the 2-N-substituted derivatives (9a,b). Benzofurano[3,2-b]4H-pyran derivative (12) was also prepared. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared compounds was tested.

Introduction

Coumarins are nowadays an important group of organic compounds that are used as bactericides [1,2,3], fungicides [4], anti-inflammatory [5], anticoagulant [6] and antitumour agents [7,8]. These pharmacological properties of coumarins aroused our interest in synthesizing several new compounds featuring different heterocyclic rings fused onto the coumarin moiety with the aim of obtaining more potent pharmacologically active compounds.

Results and Discussion

Condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin (4-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, 1) with α-cyano-p-bromocinnamonitrile (2a) in ethanol containing a catalytic amount of piperidine afforded a product which may have two possible structures: 3a or 4a (Scheme 1).
Scheme 1.
Scheme 1.
Molecules 08 00275 g001
Structure 3a is favoured over 4a based on the 1H-NMR spectra which revealed the presence of a signal at δ 4.5- 5.0 ppm for one proton linked with a sp3 carbon. Signals at a similar position have been observed for 4H-pyran [9]. If 4a were the reaction product, one would expect a 2H-pyran signal, appearing at lower values. The formation of 3a was assumed to proceed via addition of the coumarinyl C-3 to the activated double bond in 2a followed by cycloaddition of the Michael adduct. Compound 3b was prepared in similar way using α-carboethoxy-p-bromocinnamonitrile (2b, Scheme 1).
Scheme 2.

Molecules 08 00275 g002
Compound 3a, as a typical enaminonitrile derivative [10], reacted with formic acid upon heating for several hours to yield 7-(p-bromophenyl)-11-hydropyrimidino[5`,4`-6,5]4H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzo-pyran-6,8-dione (5) (Scheme 2). Similarly, compound 3a reacted with formamide in the presence of formic acid and dimethylformamide to produce 8-amino-7-(p-bromophenyl)pyrimidino[5`,4`-6,5]4H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-6-one (6) (Scheme 2).
It was reported that 2-amino-3-cyano-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1] benzopyran-5-one derivatives react with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride to produce the corresponding 3-cyano-2-ethoxy-methyleneamino derivatives [4,9]. In this study the reaction of 3a with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride afforded a product formulated as 8-amino-7-(p-bromophenyl)-10-hydroxypyridino[3`,2`-6,5]4H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-6-one (7) rather than compound 8 (Scheme 2). Structure 7 was established for the reaction product based on the following data: a) its infrared spectrum revealed no absorption in the CN region, furthermore, it displayed absorption bands at 3448-3400 cm-1 as a broad band (NH2 OH) and 1668 cm-1 (C=O); b) the mass spectrum of 7 exhibited molecular ion peaks at (M+) m/z 437 and 436, also, other peaks appear at m/z 357, due to the loss of a bromine atom and 281 (100%) due to further loss of a phenyl group; c) the 1H-NMR spectrum of 7 showed signals at δ 2.50 (s, 2H, NH2), 4.82 (s, 1H, pyran H-4) and 7.26-7.96 ppm (m, 9H, 8 ArH + 1H, which disappeared after D2O exchange, NH); d) treatment of 3a with acetic anhydride only gave a product showing in its IR spectrum absorption bands at 2210 cm-1 (CN), a single band at 3330 cm-1 (NH), 1726 (lactone C=O) and 1676 cm-1 (C = O).
Reaction of 3b with either 2-furoyl chloride or chloroacetyl chloride in dry acetone containing potassium carbonate afforded the 2-N-furoyl amino-3-carboethoxy-4-(p-bromophenyl)-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-5-one derivative (9a) and 2-N-chloroacetylamino-3-carboethoxy-4-(p-bromophenyl)-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran -5-one derivative (9b), respectively (Scheme 3). Cyclisation of compound (9b) using sodium ethoxide afforded 7-(p-bromophenyl)-9-ethoxy-9,11-dihydropyridino[3`,2`-6,5]4H-pyrano[3,2-c] [1]benzopyran-6,8,10-trione (10) (Scheme 3).
Heating compound 3b with 4-bromophenacyl bromide in refluxing pyridine gave 7-(p-bromo-phenyl)-9-[(p-bromophenyl)carbonyl]-8-hydroxypyrrolo[3`,2`-5,6]4H-pyrano-[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-6-one (11) (Scheme 3). Treatment of 3b with anthranilic acid in boiling pyridine afforded an unexpected benzofuranopyran derivative which was formulated as 2-amino-4-(p-bromophenyl)-3-[N-phenyl-carbamido]dihydrobenzofurano[3,2-b]-4H-pyran (12) (Scheme 3). The postulated structure of compound 12 was based on the following arguments: a) its IR spectrum reveals no absorption bands for an ester group and the carbonyl of a δ-lactone, whereas an absorption band at 1667 cm-1 (amide C=O) does appear; b) the 1H-NMR spectrum of 12 showed signals at 7.01 (d, 1H, pyran H-4), 7.36 (d, 2H, furano H) and 7.47-8.12 ppm (m, 16H, ArH+ NH2+NH).

* Organisms : 1- Staphylococcus aureus, 2-Bacillus subtilis, 3- Bacillus cereus,4- Pseudomonas aurignosa, 5-Echerichia coli and 6- Enterobacter aerogenes.
It is apparent from the data listed in Table 1 that some of the synthesized compounds showed antibacterial activity comparable to that of amoxicillin, the reference drug used. However, concerning the activity against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis), the pyrimidino[5`,4`-6,5]4H-pyrano[3,2- c][1]-benzopyran-6-one (6) showed excellent activity, compounds 3b and 5 exhibit good activity , whereas compounds 7, 9b, 10, 11 and 12 showed moderate activity . On the other hand, the Gram – negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aurignosa) showed high responses to five of the prepared products. Dihydrobenzofurano[3,2-b]-4H-pyran (12) showed the maximum activity, higher than that of amoxicillin. Compound 6 exhibits excellent antibacterial activity towards Enterobacter aerogenes.
Concerning the data of antifungal activity in Table 2, compound 5 showed excellent activity against Aspergillus niger, comparable to mycostatin , while compounds 7 and 8 exhibit good activity. Also, compound 9a displays moderate activity toward Penicillium italicum. In general, the data obtained from the microbiological screening showed that the activity of some synthesized compounds is equal to and sometimes greater than those of the reference drugs used.

In addition compound (3b) reacted with 4-bromophenacyl bromide and anthranilic acid to yield 7-(p-bromophenyl)-9-[(p-bromo-phenyl)carbonyl]-8-hydroxypyrrolo[3`,2`-5,6]4H-pyrano-[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-6-one (11) and 2-amino-4-(p-bromophenyl)-3-[N-phenyl-carbamido]-dihydrobenzofurano[3,2-b]-4H-pyran (12), respectively.

Experimental

General

Melting points were taken on an Electrothermal capillary melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. The microanalyses were done at Faculty of Scinece, King Khalid University. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Jasco FT/IR 460, using KBr disks. 1H-NMR Spectra were recorded on JEOL EX-270 MHz NMR Spectrometer. Mass spectra were recorded on a Finnigan Mat SSQ-7000 mass spectrometer.

Biological Tests

Standard drugs (amoxicillin for bacteria and mycostatin for fungi) were used at a concentration of 1000 ppm for comparisons. The biological activity of these compounds have been evaluated by filter paper disc method [11] after dissolving them in N,N-dimethylformamide to obtain a 1mg/mL solution (1000 ppm). The inhibition zones of microbial growth surrounding the filter paper disc (5 mm) were measured in millimeters at the end of an incubation period of 3 days at 37°C for Echerichia coli and at 28°C for other bacteria and fungi. N,N-dimethylformamide alone showed no inhibation zone.
