A Simple and Easily Implemented Method for the Regioselective Introduction of Deuterium into Azolo[1,5-]pyrimidines Molecules.

A method for the technically easy-to-implement synthesis of deuterium-labeled pyrazolo[1,5-]pyrimidines and 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-]pyrimidines have been developed. The regioselectivity of such transformations has been shown. H NMR and mass spectrometric methods have proved the quantitative nature of such transformations and the kinetics of deuterium exchange has been studied.

Synthesis of isomeric 4-(-methyltetrazolylamino)-2-phenyl-4-thiopyrano[2,3-]quinoline-3-carbaldehydes and 4-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4-thiopyrano[2,3-]quinoline-3-carbaldehyde based on tandem thiol-Michael and (aza)-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions and an study of the activity of the obtained compounds against influenza virus.

Unlabelled: 3-{[(1-Methyl-1-tetrazol-5-yl)imino]methyl}quinoline-2-thiol and 3-{[(2-methyl-2-tetrazol-5-yl)imino]methyl}quinoline-2-thiol were synthesized. The sequence of the thiol-Michael reaction and the (aza)-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction yielded 4-[(1-methyl-1-tetrazol-5-yl)amino]-2-phenyl-4-thiopyrano[2,3-]quinoline-3-carbaldehyde, 4-[(2-methyl-2-tetrazol-5-yl)amino]-2-phenyl-4-thiopyrano[2,3-]-quinoline-3-carbaldehyde, and 4-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4-thiopyrano[2,3-]quinoline-3-carbaldehyde. Cytotoxicity and antiviral activity against the A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) influenza virus strain in MDCK cell culture were determined for the obtained compounds.

Synthesis and antiviral activity of nonannulated tetrazolylpyrimidines.

Nonannulated tetrazolylpyrimidines in the structure of which the heterocyclic fragments are separated by hydrazinocarbonylmethyl, methylpyrazolyl groups or a sulfur atom were synthesized. Some of these compounds showed moderate activity against H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus. The selectivity index of the anti-influenza action of {5-[(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-1-tetrazol-1-yl}acetic acid, which has very low cytotoxicity, was twice as high as the selectivity index of the reference drug rimantadine.
