Published: April 2021

A radical approach to late-stage functionalization using photoredox and Diversinate chemistry on the Open Source Malaria (OSM) triazolopyrazine scaffold (Series 4) resulted in the synthesis of 12 new analogues, which were characterized by NMR, UV, and MS data analysis. The structures of four triazolopyrazines were confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Several minor and unexpected side products were generated during these studies, including two resulting from a possible disproportionation reaction. All compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of the malaria parasite (3D7 and Dd2 strains) and for cytotoxicity against a human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell line. Moderate antimalarial activity was observed for some of the compounds, with IC values ranging from 0.3 to >20 µM; none of the compounds displayed any toxicity against HEK293 at 80 µM.

More people are being diagnosed with resistant breast cancer, increasing the urgency of developing new effective treatments. Several lines of evidence suggest that blocking the kinase activity of VEGFR-2 reduces angiogenesis and slows tumor growth. In this study, we developed novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors based on the triazolopyrazine template by using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and molecular similarity indices (CoMSIA) models for 3D-QSAR analysis of 23 triazolopyrazine-based compounds against breast cancer cell lines (MCF -7).

Nine new fluorinated analogues were synthesised by late-stage functionalisation using Diversinate™ chemistry on the Open Source Malaria (OSM) triazolopyrazine scaffold (Series 4). The structures of all analogues were fully characterised by NMR, UV and MS data analysis; three triazolopyrazines were confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The inhibitory activity of all compounds against the growth of the malaria parasite (3D7 and Dd2 strains) and the cytotoxicity against a human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cell line were tested.

Pyrazines and pyridazines fused to 1,2,3-triazoles comprise a set of heterocycles obtained through a variety of synthetic routes. Two typical modes of constructing these heterocyclic ring systems are cyclizing a heterocyclic diamine with a nitrite or reacting hydrazine hydrate with dicarbonyl 1,2,3-triazoles. Several unique methods are known, particularly for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-]pyrazines and their benzo-fused quinoxaline and quinoxalinone-containing analogs.

For this work, two series of new piperazine derivatives (3a-o) and triazolo-pyrazine derivatives (3p-t) were synthesized in a single-step reaction. All twenty adducts were obtained in good to high yields and fully characterized by H NMR, C NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry techniques. To further confirm the chemical identity of the adducts, a crystal of N-{[(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)]-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]}pyrazine-7(8H)-carboxamide (3t) was prepared and analyzed using X-ray crystallography.
