Novel derivatives of benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones: synthesis, photochemical synthesis, and antitumor evaluation.

Novel derivatives of benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 3a-j were synthesized in a multistep synthesis starting from substituted benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides, to their corresponding benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides, which were photochemically dehydrohalogenated to their corresponding substituted benzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones. Compound 4 was prepared from 3i by alkylation with 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride in the presence of NaH. Compounds 7a,b were prepared from 3g in the multistep synthesis from compounds 5 and 6.

Synthesis, photochemical synthesis and antitumor evaluation of novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones.

The novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were synthesized in multistep synthesis starting from thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde and malonic acid reacting in aldol condensation or from 3-bromothiophenes or methyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate reacting in Heck reaction. They resulted in corresponding substituted thienylacrylic acids 3a-c, which were cyclized into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 4a-c and converted into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carboxamides 5a-d. Prepared carboxamides were photochemically dehydrohalogenated into corresponding substituted thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a-d.

New amidino-benzimidazolyl derivatives of tylosin and desmycosin.

New amidino-benzimidazolyl derivatives of antibiotics tylosin and desmycosin are prepared in the reaction of corresponding amidino-substituted o-phenylendiamine with tylosin respectively desmyicosin on the 20-C aldehyde group. The reaction was carried out in absolute ethanol in the presence ofp-benzoquinone. On this way are prepared: 20-[5-(N-isopropylamidino)-2-benzimidazolyl]tylosin hydrochloride 9, 20-[5-(2-imidazolinyl)-2-benzimidazolyl]tylosin hydrochloride 10, 20-[5-(N-morpholinylamidino)-2-benzimidazolyl]tylosin hydrochloride 11, 20-[5-(N-isopropylamidino)-2-benzimidazolyl]desmycosin hydrochloride 12, 20-[5-(2-imidazolinyl)-2-benzimidazolyl]desmycosin hydrochloride 13, 20-[5-(N-morpholinylamidino)-2-benzimidazolyl]desmycosin hydrochloride 14.

Study of the sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis.

During the submerged cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis in 300- and 3000-liter fermentors, lysis occurred at the end of the exponential phase of growth. New vegetative cells were subsequently formed which usually sporulated.
