Synthesis and Evaluation of 5-imino-4-thioxoimidazolidin-2-one Derivatives as Antibacterial and Antifungal Agents.

Objective: It was interesting to synthesize some new 5-imino-4-thioxoimidazolidin-2- one derivatives with different halogenated and alkylated aromatic substituents at N-(1) and N-(3) and evaluation of their expected antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Methods: New 5-imino-4-thioxoimidazolidin-2-one derivatives were synthesized through the reaction of different halogenated and alkylated N-arylcyanothioformamides with halogenated and alkylated aryl isocyanates.

Results: 5-Imino-4-thioxoimidazolidin-2-ones were obtained in high yields with excellent purity.

Design, synthesis, molecular docking and biological activity evaluation of some novel indole derivatives as potent anticancer active agents and apoptosis inducers.

Reaction of 5-morphilinosulfonylisatin (1) with acetophenones (2a-e) afforded 3-hydroxy-3-substituted-2-oxoindoles 3a-e, when treated with acetic acid the expected 3-phenacylidene-2-oxoindoles 4a-d and 4-hydroxy-5'-(morpholinosulfonyl) spiro [chromene-2, 3'-indolin]-2'-one 6 were obtained. Isatin derivative (1) was stirred with cyano derivatives to produce the arylidines (7a-c), while under reflux condition, it gave pyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles (8, 9). Moreover, istain (1) reacted with pyrazolo-5-one or 3-substituted phenol in presence of malononitrile to afford spiroxindole derivatives (10a,b) and (11a,b).

Synthesis and biological evaluation of bis-imidazolidineiminothiones: a comparative study.

A series of 15 novel symmetrical and non-symmetrical bis-imidazolidineiminothiones (6a-g, 7a-e, 8a,b, and 9) with various substituents at N-(1) (p-tolyl, p-methoxyphenyl, p-ethoxyphenyl, p-chlorophenyl, p-bromophenyl, p-iodophenyl, and 3,5-dichlorophenyl) and different linkers between the N-(3) atoms [4,4'-oxybis(4,1-phenylene), 2,2'-dimethoxybiphenyl, and (1,3,3-trimethylcyclohexyl)methyl)] were prepared in 65-75% yields from substituted N-arylcyanothioformanilides and various bis-isocyanates. Screening for cytotoxicity against the HEPG2, HEP2, MCF7, and HCT116 tumor cell lines gave IC50 values ranging from 6.3 to 84.

Synthesis and characterization of new types of halogenated and alkylated imidazolidineiminothiones and a comparative study of their antitumor, antibacterial, and antifungal activities.

A series of twenty novel imidazolidineiminothiones (4-8) with various substituents at N-(1) and N-(3) were synthesized by various permutations of halogenated and alkylated N-arylcyanothioformanilides (1) with aromatic isocyanates (2). Preliminary screening of all compounds against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (EAC) indicated that 5d, and 8a-c were the most active compounds as they displayed the highest percent inhibition of cell viability (80%, 70%, 80%, and 70%, respectively). Thus, they were further subjected to in vitro biological evaluation against other tumor cancer cell lines (HEPG2, HEP2, MCF7, HELA, and HCT116).

Synthesis, characterization and derivatization of some novel types of mono- and bis-imidazolidineiminothiones and imidazolidineiminodithiones with antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activities--part I.

Halogenated and alkylated N-arylcyanothioformanilides were reacted with the nucleophilic reagents triethylamine, hydrazine and diphenyldiazomethane to produce N-arylcyanothioformanilide ammonium salts, a thiosemicarbazide and a 2-(arylamino)-3,3-diphenylacrylonitrile, respectively. They also underwent several types of electrophilic reactions with aryl-, arylbisisocyanates and arylisothiocyanates to yield mono- and bis-imidazolidineiminothiones and imidazolidineiminodithiones. Treatment of imidazolidineiminothiones with hydrogen sulfide, substituted ortho-phenylenediamines and thiocarbohydrazide afforded the corresponding thiohydantoin, quinoxaline and imidazotriazine derivatives.
