Pyrrolopyrimidin-4-ylidene-malononitriles IIa–d were prepared as important intermediates for preparation of a new series of spiro-pyrrolopyrimidines. These intermediates undergo cyclisation via reaction with acetylacetone, guanidine hydrochloride or hydrazine hydrate. Elemental and spectroscopic evidences for the structures of these compounds are presented. The final compounds have been monitored for in vivo anti-hyperglycemic activity, compared with Amaryl as standard drug. Among 12 tested compounds, both spiro (pyrano IIIb and pyrazlo Va) derivatives exhibit promising anti-hyperglycemic activity.
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.
