Convenient and Regiospecific Method for Synthesis of 4,5-Diaryl-1-methyl-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole
摘要:
A convenient, high-yielding, regiospecific synthesis of 1H-imidazole-2-thiones ring has been developed. In addition, a series of 4,5-diaryl-1-methyl-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazoles 8 were synthesized and characterized. The structure of regioisomers was confirmed through nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

A series of 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione was synthesized and their inhibitory potency against soybean 15-lipoxygenase and free radical scavenging activities were determined. Compound 11 showed the best IC50 for 15-LOX inhibition (IC50 = 4.7 mu M) and free radical scavenging activity (IC50 = 14 mu M). Methylation of SH at C-2 position of imidazole has dramatically decreased the 15-LOX inhibition and radical scavenging activity as it can be observed in the inactive compound 14 (IC50 >250 mu M). Structure activity similarity (SAS) showed that the most important chemical modification in this series was methylation of SH group and Docking studies revealed a proper orientation for SH group towards Fe core of the 15-LOX active site. Therefore it was concluded that iron chelating could be a possible mechanism for enzyme inhibition in this series of compounds. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
