Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines containing a nitrooxyalkyl ester moiety to study calcium channel antagonist structure,activity relationships and nitric oxide release

DRUG DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH, Issue 4 2000

Abstract A group of 3-nitrooxyalkyl 5-alkyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(pyridyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylates were prepared using a modified Hantzsch reaction that involved the condensation of a nitrooxyalkyl acetoacetate with an alkyl 3-aminocrotonate and a pyridinecarboxaldehyde. 1H NMR nuclear Overhauser enhancement (nOe) studies for 3-(3-nitrooxypropyl) 5-isopropyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-pyridyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (17) indicates a predominant rotamer exists in solution where the pyridyl nitrogen atom is orientated above the 1,4-DHP ring system, and the pyridyl nitrogen atom is antiperiplanar to the 1,4-DHP ring H-4 proton. Variable temperature 1H NMR studies (,30 to +60°C) showed the 1,4-DHP NH proton in 17 is H-bonded in CHCl3 solution. This interaction is believed to be due to intermolecular H-bonding between the pyridyl nitrogen free electron pair and the 1,4-DHP NH proton. In vitro calcium channel antagonist (CCA) activities were determined using a muscarinic-receptor-mediated Ca+2 -dependent contraction of guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle assay. This class of compounds exhibited lower CCA activity (IC50 = 5.3 × 10,6 to 3.5 × 10,8 M range) than the reference drug nifedipine (IC50 = 1.4 × 10,8 M). For compounds having C-3 ,CH2CH2ONO2 and C-4 pyridyl substituents, the C-5 alkyl was a determinant of CCA (i -Pr > the approximately equipotent i -Bu, t -Bu, and Et analogs). The point of attachment of the isomeric C-4 pyridyl substituent was a determinant of CCA when C-3 ,CH2CH2ONO2 and C-5 i -Pr substituents were present providing the potency profile 2-pyridyl , 3-pyridyl > 4-pyridyl. CCA with respect to the C-3 nitrooxyalkyl substituent was inversely dependent on the length of the alkyl spacer. The percent nitric oxide (·NO) released in vitro by this group of compounds (range of 0.03,0.43%/ONO2 group), quantified as nitrite by reaction with the Griess reagent, was lower than that for the reference drug glycerol trinitrate (3.81%/ONO2 group). Nitric oxide release studies showed that the %·NO released was dependent on the number of ONO2 groups/molecule. A QSAR study for this group of compounds showed a correlation between the specific polarizability descriptor (SpPol) and %·NO release. Drug Dev. Res. 51:233,243, 2000. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Synthesis, structure and biological activity of diorganotin derivatives with pyridyl functionalized bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2010
Fang-Lin Li
Abstract Three pyridyl functionalized bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes, namely 2-[(4-pyridyl)methoxyphenyl] bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L1), 2-[(4-pyridyl)methoxyphenyl]bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (L2) and 2-[(3-pyridyl)methoxyphenyl]bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L3) have been synthesized by the reactions of (2-hydroxyphenyl)bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes with chloromethylpyridine. Treatment of these three ligands with R2SnCl2 (R = Et, n -Bu or Ph) yields a series of symmetric 2:1 adducts of (L)2SnR2Cl2 (L = L1, L2 or L3), which have been confirmed by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of (L2)2Sn(n -Bu)2Cl2·0.5C6H14 and (L3)2SnEt2Cl2 determined by X-ray crystallography show that the functionalized bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane acts as a monodentate ligand through the pyridyl nitrogen atom, and the pyrazolyl nitrogen atoms do not coordinate to the tin atom. The cytotoxic activity of these complexes for Hela cells in vitro was tested. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Crystal Structure and Ethylene Oligomerization Catalytic Activity of {2-Carbethoxy-6-[1-[(2,6-diethyl-phenyl)imino]ethyl]pyridine}CoCl2

CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2007
Bi-Yun Sun
Abstract The unsymmetric precursor ethyl 6-acetylpyridine-2-carboxylate (4) was synthesized from 2,6-dimethylpyridine (1). On the basis of this precursor, a new mono(imino)pyridine ligand (5) and the corresponding Co(II) complex {2-carbethoxy-6-[1-[(2,6-diethylphenyl)imino]ethyl]pyridine}CoCl2 (6) were prepared. The crystal structure of complex indicates that the 2-carbethoxy-6-iminopyridine is coordinated to the cobalt as a tridentate ligand using [N, N, O] atoms, and the coordination geometry of the central cobalt is a distorted trigonal bipyramid, with the pyridyl nitrogen atom and the two chlorine atoms forming the equatorial plane. Being applied to the ethylene oligomerization, this cobalt complex shows catalytic activity of 1.820×104 g/mol-Co·h at 101325 Pa of ethylene at 15.5 °C for 1 h, when 1000 equiv. of methylaluminoxane (MAO) is employed as the cocatalyst.

Highly Efficient Visible-Light-Induced Photocleavage of DNA by a Ruthenium-Substituted Fluorinated Porphyrin

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2009
Michelle Cunningham
Abstract A new porphyrin, meso -5-(pentafluorophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-pyridyl)porphyrin, has been synthesized. Coordination of two [Ru(bipy)2Cl]+ moieties (where bipy = 2,2,-bipyridine) to the pyridyl nitrogen atoms in the 10,15-positions gives the target complex. Electronic transitions associated with the ruthenium,porphyrin include an intense Soret band and four less intense Q-bands in the visible region of the spectrum. An intense ,,,* transition in the UV region associated with the bipyridyl groups and a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) band appearing as a shoulder to the Soret band are also observed. Electrochemical properties associated with the complex include a redox couple in the cathodic region with E1/2 = ,0.84 V vs. Ag/AgCl attributed to the porphyrin and a redox couple in the anodic region at E1/2 = 0.79 V vs. Ag/AgCl due to the RuIII/II couple. DNA titrations and ethidium bromide displacement experiments indicate the ruthenium porphyrin interacts with DNA potentially through a partial intercalation mechanism. Irradiation of aqueous solutions of the ruthenated complex and supercoiled DNA at a 100:1 base pair/complex ratio with visible light above 400 nm indicates that the complex causes double-strand breaks of the DNA.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

New Polar Pyrazolylborate Ligands and Their Basic Zinc Complex Chemistry

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2006
Cristina Pérez Olmo
Abstract By refinement of Trofimenko's procedures, four new tris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp) ligands bearing pyridyl and carboxamide substituents at the 3-positions of the pyrazole rings, were obtained. Two of them were identified by structure determinations of their potassium salts. Their coordinative properties were explored by preparing Tp*Zn-X complexes, with X = Cl, Br, I, NO3, OAc, phenolate, thiophenolate and diorganophosphate, including the cationic complexes [Tp*Zn·L]+ with L = methanol and pyrazole. From the spectra and structure determinations of these complexes it has become evident that the polar Tp* ligands favor coordination numbers higher than four for zinc, either by inducing bidentate coordination of the coligands X and L, using the carboxamide oxygen atoms for coordination, or by linking two Tp*Zn-X units through the pyridyl nitrogen atoms. As a result, the structural chemistry of these complexes is quite varied, and includes coordination dimers and polymers.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]


Crystallographic report: A synthetic precursor for hetero-binuclear metal complexes, [Ru(bpy)(dppy)2(CO)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine, dppy = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine)

Dai Ooyama
Abstract In the title complex, [Ru(bpy)(dppy)2(CO)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine, dppy = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine), the ruthenium atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination with the carbonyl ligands in cis positions. In addition, two dppy ligands coordinate to the ruthenium center through the phosphorus atoms in mutually trans positions and two pyridyl nitrogen atoms of the dppy direct toward two carbonyl ligands.
