A series of novel 3-aryl-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole and 5H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepine quaternary salts were synthesized in 58–85% yields via the reaction of 3-aryl-6, 7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazoles or 3-aryl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepines and various alkylating reagents. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS. The conducted screening studies of the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the new quaternary salts derivatives established that 15 of the 18 newly synthesized compounds show antibacterial and antifungal activity. Synthesized 3-(3,4-dichlorohenyl)-1-[(4-phenoxyphenylcarbamoyl)-methyl]-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-1-ium chloride 6c possessed a broad activity spectrum towards Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Cryptococcus neoformans, with a high hemolytic activity against human red blood cells and cytotoxicity against HEK-293. However, compound 6c is characterized by a low in vivo toxicity in mice (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg).

Nowadays, control of viral diseases becomes especially relevant, considering spreading of influenza A (subtype H1N1) in this season and appearance of new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which caused their epidemic spreading in the world. This is why development and introduction of new highly effective antiviral drugs are a relevant direction of pharmaceutical chemistry. The aim of research is to synthesize the derivatives of (4,6-bis-amino[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl-sulphanyl)-Naryl-acetamide and to study the antiviral activity for FluA (H1N1) virus California/07/2009 at primary pharmacological screening stage. The investigated compounds – (4,6-bis-amino[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl-sulphanyl)-N-aryl-acetamide derivatives, were synthesized on the basis of 4,6-bis-ethylamino[1, 3,5]triazin-2-tiol. The antiviral activity of (4,6-bis-amino[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl-sulphanyl)-N-(2,4,6-trichlorphenyl)-acetamide against the virus FluA (H1N1) California/07/2009 was evaluated on MDCK cell culture test in vitro. It has been shown that the test substance exhibits high antiviral activity against the influenza A virus H1N1 California/ 07/2009 with effective concentration of EC50 0,6 μg/ml and the selectivity index SI > 170 (for Ribavirin SI > 160 and Amizona SI > 2,1). The data obtained substantiate the expediency of further study of derivatives of (4,6-diamino[1,3,5] triazine-2-yl-sulphanyl)-N-aryl-acetamide as potential antiviral agents.

Leukemia, as a part of hemoblastosises, is a malignant blood system disease, which is characterized by bone marrow damage, caused by leukemic stem cells, which appear due to disruption of self-renewal and differentiation of hempoetic stem cells and predecessor cells. In their turn, hemoblastoses are divided into two groups: bone marrow (acute leukemia, chronical leukemia, paraproteinemic hemoblastoses) and outside bone marrow (lymphogranulomatosis, or Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin malignant mymphomas). Nowadays in Ukraine, different kinds of leukemia are cured by various drugs, which have many side effects. Increase in effectivity of chemotherapy of tumor disease is primarily related to creation of new antitumor drugs of selective action. Which is why search for biologically active compounds with antitumor activity is a perspective direction in creation of new drugs. Aim of this work was synthesis of compounds with potential antitumor properties in a variety of [4-(41-chlorophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2a,8a-triazacyclopenta[c,d]-azulen-1-yl-methyl]-para-tolylamin derivatives. As the objects of our studies, we have picked the derivatives of [4-(41-chlorophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2а,8а-triazacyclopenta[c,d]-azulen-1-yl-methyl]-para-tolilamin (8 and 10 a, b). [4-(41-Chlorphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2а,8а-triazacyclopenta[c,d]azulen-1-yl-methyl]-para-tolylamin (8) was obtained by boiling of equimolar quantities of 3-(41-methylphenyl)aminomethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5Н-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin (5) and α-brom-4-chloracetophenon in ethylacetate. Thioamides (10 a, b) were obtained by interaction of amin (8) with corresponding arylisothiocyanates (9 а, b) in dry benzene. Antitumor activity of [4-(41-chlorphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2а,8а-triazacyclopenta[c,d]azulen-1-yl-methyl]-para-tolylamin (8) was studied in National Cancer Institute of Health, USA within Development Therapeutic Program. In experimental conditions [4-(41-chlorphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2а,8а-triazacyclopenta[c,d]azulen-1-yl-methyl]-para-tolylamin (8) showed ability to inhibit growth of cancerous leukemia cells of CCRF-CEM, HL-60(TB), K-562, MOLT-4, RPMI-8226 and SR lines, higher than standard – 5-fluorouracil. Towards HL-60(TB) cells [4-(41-chlorphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2а,8а- triazacyclopenta[c,d]azulen-1-yl-methyl]-para-tolylamin exceeds standard in effectivity by 64.68%. For K-562, MOLT-4, RPMI-8226 and SR cells, those numbers are equal to: 85.88%, 84.95%, 42.10% and 36.82% correspondingly. Towards CCRF-CEM cells, this compound not only inhibits cell growth and division, but also destroys them by 20.34%. Thus conducted studies confirm perceptivity of search for compounds with antitumor action on the basis of [4-(41-chlorophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,2а,8а-triazacyclopenta[c,d]azulen-1-yl­methyl]-para-tolylamin.

The synthesis, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of 3-(het)aryl-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives Aim. To synthesize, prove the structure and study the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of 3-(het)aryl-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives. Results and discussion. Condensation of 2-methoxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-7H-azepine with cyanoacetic acid hydrazide leads to formation of 2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acetonitrile. The latter readily reacts with the corresponding (het)arenecarbaldehydes in refluxing ethanol in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine yielding a series of new 3-(het)aryl-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives. Further functionalization of 3-(4-hydroxy-3-R-phenyl)-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitriles has been done by modification of the OH group. One of the compounds synthesized, namely 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, exhibits a high level of the analgesic activity on the "hot plate" model, and a similar level of the activity on the model of "acetic acid-induced writhings" as compared to ketorolac. The results obtained indicate the pronounced antinociceptive activity for the test compound. Experimental part. 1 H NMR spectra of the compounds synthesized were recorded on a Bruker VXR-300 spectrometer (Germany) operating at a frequency of 299.945 MHz, in DMSO-d 6 , using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard. Melting points were measured using a RNMK 05 device (VEB Analytik, Dresden). The elemental analysis was performed on a EuroEA 3000 elemental analyzer. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile were determined using models of "carrageenan induced paw edema", "hot plate" and "acetic acid-induced writhings", and compared to the reference drug ketorolac. Conclusions. A series of new 3-(het)aryl-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives can be easily synthesized by the interaction of 2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acetonitrile with (het)arenecarbaldehydes. The hydroxy group in 3-(4-hydroxy-3-R-phenyl)-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitriles can be modified to obtain phenyl esters of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids. The high level of the analgesic activity for 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-yl)acrylonitrile has been determined.
