DNA profiling and in vitro cytotoxicity studies of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-based copper(II) complexes
摘要:
A series of N-benzoylated mononuclear copper(II) complexes of the type [Cu(L1-6)Cl-2] (1-6), where L-1=ethyl 4-benzoyl-5-methyl-7-aryl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate, L-2=ethyl 4-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-5-methyl-7-aryl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate, L-3=ethyl 4-benzoyl-5-methyl-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate, L-4=ethyl 4-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-5-methyl-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate, L-5=ethyl 4-benzoyl-5-methyl-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate and L-6=ethyl 4-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-5-methyl-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate have been synthesized and characterized by spectral methods. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of complexes show four lines, characteristic of square planar geometry. The binding studies of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) revealed groove mode of binding, which were further supported by molecular docking studies. Gel electrophoresis experiments demonstrated the ability of the complexes to cleave plasmid DNA in the absence of activators. Further, the cytotoxicity activity of the complexes were examined on three cancerous cell lines (lung (A549), cervical (HeLa) and colon (HCT-15)), and on two normal cells (human embryonic kidney (HEK) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)) by MTT assay.
One-Step Synthesis of Tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines by Cyclization Reaction of Dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones with Sodium Azide
摘要:
An novel, versatile and cost-effective approach for tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines from cyclization reaction of dihydropyrimidinethiones with sodium azide in the presence of mercuric acetate is described. To compare this procedure with the conventional method, we carried out the cyclization reactions through direct functionalization of the pyrimidinethione core, which obtained from Biginelli 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones or 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2-thiones.

blocks with active methylene catalyzed by iodine were investigated in a multicomponentone-pot protocol. A series of 5,7-diaryl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines C and 5-methyl-7-aryl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates D were obtained in moderate to good yields. Further exploration rapidly afforded various E in good to excellent yields; in addition, compound F was also obtained under
