Abstract

A series of novel pyranochromene-containing tetrazoles fused with pyrimidinethiones, pyrimidines, and diazepines 3a–f, 4a–f, and 5a–f were synthesized by condensation of the corresponding tetrazoles 2a–f with carbon disulfide, benzaldehyde, and 4-methoxy phenacyl bromide, respectively. The compound 2a–f was obtained by reaction of pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes 1a–f with sodium azide. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds 2a–f to 5a–f were established on the basis of their elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral data. All of the title compounds were subjected to in vitro antibacterial testing against four pathogenic strains and antifungal screening against two fungi. Preliminary results indicate that some of them exhibited promising activities and that they deserve more consideration as potential antimicrobials.

1. Introduction

Pyrano[3,2-c]chromene derivatives are a class of important heterocycles with a wide range of biological properties [1] such as spasmolytic, diuretic, anticoagulant, anticancer, and antianaphylactic activities [2–5].

Tetrazoles represent an important class of heterocyclic compounds with wide ranging applications [6]. The synthesis of novel tetrazole derivatives and the investigation of their chemical and biological behavior has gained more importance in the recent decades for biological and pharmaceutical reasons. They have found use in pharmaceuticals as lipophilic spacers and carboxylic acid surrogates, which improves oral absorption [7]. Their derivatives were reported to possess broad spectrum of biological activity in both medicinal and pharmaceutical areas such as antinociceptive [8], antibacterial [9], antifungal [10], anti-HIV, anticancer, immunosuppressive [11], anti-inflammatory [12] and antiulcer [13], antiproliferative [14], antiallergic [15], and analgesic [16] activities.

On the other hand, pyrimidine scaffold was the base of many bioactive molecules such as antitubercular, antimicrobial [17], antiviral [18], antitumor [19, 20], anti-inflammatory, analgesic [21], antioxidant [22], antiproliferative [23], and antileishmanial agents [24]. Consequently, synthetic methodologies for synthesis of novel pyrimidines or pyrimidine fused compounds are of particular interests to organic and medicinal chemists.

The diazepine family represents one of the most prominent classes of privileged scaffolds in the field of drugs and pharmaceuticals. These compounds are widely used as anticonvulsant, antianxiety, analgesic, sedative, antidepressive, and hypnotic agents [25–27].

In view of the abovementioned facts, it was envisaged that these active pharmacophores, if linked together, would generate novel molecular templates which are likely to exhibit interesting biological properties. Hence, in continuation of our interest in the synthesis of biologically active heterocycles [28, 29], we report herein the synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some new heterocyclic compounds like pyranochromenes-containing tetrazoles. These tetrazoles are fused to six and seven-membered heterocyclic rings like pyrimidines, pyrimidinethiones, and diazepines. This combination was suggested in an attempt to investigate the influence of such structure variation on the anticipated biological activities, hoping to add some synergistic biological significance to the target molecules.

2. Results and Discussion

The synthetic strategies adopted for the synthesis of the target compounds are depicted in Scheme 1. The starting materials used in the present scheme, that is, pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes 1a–f, were prepared according to the previously reported procedure [30]. Pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes 1a–f were allowed to react with sodium azide in presence of NH₄Cl in DMF to give the corresponding tetrazoles 2a–f, which on reaction with CS₂ in presence of pyridine yielded the corresponding pyrimidine-5-thiones 3a–f. Condensation of tetrazoles 2a–f with benzaldehyde furnished the respective pyrimidines 4a–f. The compounds 5a–f were obtained by condensing tetrazoles 2a–f with 4-methoxyphenacyl bromide under reflux in ethanol. The structures of all of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectral (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass) and elemental analyses data. The synthesized compounds 2a–f, 3a–f, 4a–f, and 5a–f were also assayed for their antimicrobial activities.

The formation of tetrazoles 2a–f from pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes 1a–f was confirmed by their IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR. In IR spectrum the disappearance of sharp absorption band (–CN) around 2200 cm⁻¹ and the appearance of band (–NH) around 3300 cm⁻¹ showed the formation of tetrazole, while in ¹H NMR the tetrazole NH proton was observed as a singlet at 10.01–10.21 ppm and in ¹³C NMR the tetrazole carbon was observed around 159.18–159.82 ppm. Furthermore, the condensation product 3a–f was confirmed by its IR spectrum which showed absence of the characteristic absorption band due to the –NH₂ group, and according to the IR spectroscopic data of these 3a–f compounds which have tetrazolopyrimidin-5-thione structure, the observation of the C=S stretching band at 1165–1181 cm⁻¹, and the absence of an absorption band at about 2550–2600 cm⁻¹ region cited for SH group have proved that these compounds were in the thionic form. In their ¹³C NMR, peak due to C=S appeared at 189.72–190.16 ppm. The formation of 4a–f from 2a–f was confirmed by their IR spectra in which no –NH₂ stretching vibrations were observed, and were well supported by their ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. In ¹H NMR, peaks shown at 6.22–6.34 ppm were assigned to pyrimidine CH proton, and in ¹³C NMR the signal was observed at 63.51–64.38 ppm due to pyrimidine carbon. Other signals were found in accordance to the established structures. Furthermore, the conversion of tetrazoles 2a–f to fused tetrazolodiazepines 5a–f was also well confirmed by their IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectra. The disappearance of characteristic peaks due to NH₂ and NH groups of 2a–f clearly indicated the smooth cyclization. Their ¹H NMR spectra showed a singlet at 6.13–6.32 ppm for two protons, which is attributed to the methylene protons of diazepine ring, while in ¹³C NMR the signal that appeared at 48.43–49.06 ppm was assigned to methylene carbon of diazepine ring. For all of the compounds, the band displayed at 1700–1719 cm⁻¹ was due to the lactone carbonyl group, which was observed around 160.22–161.93 ppm in ¹³C NMR. The signal due to pyran proton, present in all of the compounds, appeared as a singlet at 4.56–5.12 ppm. All of the other aromatic and aliphatic protons were observed at the expected regions. Mass spectra of almost all of the compounds showed peaks, in agreement with their molecular weights. However, in some cases, peaks were also observed. For all of the compounds, the elemental analyses values were in good agreement with the theoretical data. Full characterization details were provided in the Experimental section.

2.1. Antimicrobial Activity

The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds 2a–f, 3a–f, 4a–f, and 5a–f was screened against the Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria, that is, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli using nutrient agar medium. The antifungal activity of the compounds was tested against Candia albicans and Aspergillus niger using Potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was carried out using microdilution susceptibility method [31]. Ciprofloxacin was used as a standard antibacterial drug, and fluconazole was used as a standard antifungal drug. The observed data on the antimicrobial activity of compounds and control drugs are given in Table 1.

The MIC values were determined as the lowest concentration that completely inhibited visible growth of the microorganisms. The investigation of antibacterial screening (Table 1) revealed that some of the newly synthesized compounds showed moderate-to-good inhibition at 25–100 μg/mL in DMSO. Amongst all of the compounds, compounds 3b and 3e exhibited good activities against B. subtilis (MIC: 25 μg/mL) and E. coli (MIC: 50 and 25 μg/mL) and moderate activities against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Compound 4b displayed good activity against S. aureus (MIC: 50 μg/mL), whereas compound 4e exhibited good activity against P. aeuroginosa (MIC: 50 μg/mL).

The investigation of antifungal screening (Table 1) revealed that some of the newly synthesized compounds showed moderate-to-good inhibition at 25–100 μg/mL in DMSO. Among the tested compounds, compounds 2b, 3b, and 4e were found to be more active than other compounds against A. niger (MIC: 50 μg/mL). Compounds 2c, 3e, and 4b possess good activities against C. albicans (MIC: 50 μg/mL). Compounds 2f, 5a, and 5f showed no activity against the tested species. Remaining compounds showed moderate-to-least activity against both bacteria and fungi. The structure activity relationship of the synthesized compounds revealed that the compounds having diazepine ring showed the least activity compared with other compounds. The presence of chloro and methoxy group enhances the activities of the compounds. The maximum antimicrobial activity was observed with compounds 3b, 3e, 4b, and 4e.

3. Conclusion

In summary, a series of novel pyranochromene-containing fused tetrazole derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by spectral and elemental analyses. All of the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities. Among the screened samples, 3b, 3e, 4b, and 4e showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activities compared with other tested samples.

5. Biological Protocol

5.1. Antimicrobial Activity

All of the newly synthesized compounds 2a–f, 3a–f, 4a–f, and 5a–f were screened for their antibacterial activities against the Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and the Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeuroginosa and Escherichia coli). The antifungal activity of the compounds was assayed against Candia albicans and Aspergillus niger. The MICs of the compound assays were carried out using the microdilution susceptibility method. Ciprofloxacin was used as a reference antibacterial agent. Fluconazole was used as a reference antifungal agent. The test compounds, ciprofloxacin and fluconazole, were dissolved in DMSO at concentration of 800 μg/mL, and they were then diluted in culture medium (nutrient agar for bacteria and Potato dextrose agar for fungi ), and two-fold serial dilution of the solution was prepared (400, 200, 100, 50, 12.5, and 6.25 μg/mL). The tubes were incubated at 36°C for 24 h and 48 h for bacteria and fungi, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs, μg/mL) of the compounds were recorded as the lowest concentration of each chemical compound in the tubes with no turbidity (i.e., no growth) of inoculated bacteria/fungi.
