A new series of benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-d]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines 8a-l was synthesized via reaction of heterocyclic thione 4 or its methyl derivatives 10 with hydrazonoyl halides 5a-l. Also, reaction of compound 4 with a mixture of chloroacetic acid and aromatic aldehyde derivatives gave benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3-ones 12-14. The microanalyses and spectral data of the synthesized compounds are in full agreement with their molecular structure. All the newly synthesized products were screened against 5α-reductase and showed activities with good ED(50) for all compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
