Reaction of heteroaromatic o-aminonitrile with ethyl N-[bis(methylthio)methylene]amino acetate resulted in annelation of a thieno[3,2-e]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine moiety in a one step process. [1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3-c]thieno- [3,2-e]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared by initial treatment of o-aminonitrile with carbon disulfide, followed by methylation with methyl iodide and subsequent reaction wit...

The present study focused on synthesizing a series of novel derivatives of 4-aryl-1-[2-(3-benzyl-4oxo(3H)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ylsulphanyl) acetyl] thiosemicarbazide 5a-d and evaluating their antitumor activity. The structure of the synthesized compounds has been elucidated on the basis of elemental analyses and spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS). T...

A new Schiff base ligands (H2L -H2L 3) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 4-acyl pyrazolones and 2-benzothiazolyl thiosemicarbazide. The ruthenium(II) Schiff base complexes were prepared by the interaction of the ligands with [RuHCl(CO)(EPh3)2(B)] (E=P/As; B=PPh3/AsPh3/py). They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectral data. The interactio...

Reduction of 2-cyanopyridine by sodium in dry methanol in presence of thiosemicarbazide produces 2-pyridineformamide thiosemicarbazone, HAm4DH. The crystal structure of HAm4DH, which has a number of intermolecular interactions involving its five NH hydrogen atoms, has been solved. Crystal structures of the complexes prepared by reaction of HAm4DH with zinc(II) chloride, bromide and iodide have ...

The preliminary cytotoxic effect of 4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(piperidin-4-ylcarbonyl)-thiosemicarbazide hydrochloride (1)-a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor-was measured using a MTT assay. It was found that the compound decreased the number of viable cells in both estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 and estrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB-231breast cancer cells, with IC(50) values of 146 ± 2 and 13...

Abstract Tautomerism is one of the most important phenomena to consider when designing biologically active molecules. In this work, we use NMR spectroscopy, IR, and X-ray analysis as well quantum-chemical calculations in gas phase a solvent study tautomerism 1- (2-, 3- 4-pyridinecarbonyl)-4-substituted thiosemicarbazide derivatives. The tautomer containing both carbonyl thione groups turned out...
