Abstract

A series of novel molecules containing thiazole and indazole ring structure were designed and synthesized. The compounds are synthesized on gram scale by using series of reactions having vicarious reaction and coupling reactions. We have optimized all the reaction steps for getting good yields. For first time we have synthesized substituted indazole acetic acid which is coupled with different substituted thiazoles. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR Mass spectrum and the purity was checked through HPLC analysis. Compounds 4a-4j are tested for antimicrobial activity, and results shows most of compounds showing promising antimicrobial activity.

Introduction

Indazole exhibits a major class of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes and key intermediates for drugs. They act as key starting materials for the synthesis of many drugs like molecules. They acts as melanin concentrating hormones (MCH), orenigenic neuropeptide used as anti-obesity treatment, potential anticancer therpeuticals. They also used for inhibitors of nitric oxide synthesis (NOS) [1]. Inazole derivatives are showing promising activity for anti-HIV agents [2]. Indazole used for inhibitors for the treatment of cancer [3]. Indazole acts on highly potent and selective type I B-Raf kinase inhibitors [4]. Indazole Derivatives acts as a novel class of bacterial Gyrase B Inhibitors and inhibitors of PI3 kinase [5,6]. Indazole derivatives also act as selective and reversible monoamine oxidase B Inhibitors [7]. There are reports for synthesis of Indazoles in one pot 3 component synthesis [8]. Substituted indazole synthesized by using palladium catalyzed reactions [9]. Some reports are showing N1 and N2 protected indazoles are synthesized in region selective manner, some have done its borolyations [10,11]. Indazoles are showing good activity like anticancer against human lung carcinoma, antibacterial activity and antimicrobial activity [12-14]. In recent times, the applications of thiazoles were found in drug development for the treatment of allergies, hypertension, inflammation, schizophrenia, bacterial, HIV infections, and hypnotics and more recently for the treatment of pain, as fibrinogen receptor antagonists with antithrombotic activity and as new inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase B. Thiazole ring is an important pharmacophore and its coupling with other rings could furnish new biologically active compounds.

From all above references when we couple indazole with different groups it shows different activity so we planned to study the coupling of indazole with different thiazoles. The synthetic methods adopted for the preparation of the title compounds 4a-4j are depicted in the Scheme 1 presented below.

Experimental Section

All chemicals, unless otherwise specified, were purchased from commercial sources and were used without further purification. The major chemicals were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and Avra labs. The development of reactions was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis on Merck pre-coated silica gel 60 F254 aluminum sheets, visualized by UV light. Melting points were recorded on SRS Optimelt, melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. The 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a 400 MHz Varian NMR spectrometer. The 13C were recorded on a 100 MHz Varian NMR spectrometer. The chemical shifts are reported as NMR spectra δppm units. The following abbreviations are used; singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), multiplet (m) and broad (br). Mass spectra were taken with Micromass-QUATTRO-II of WATER mass spectrometer.

Results and Discussion

We have optimized condition for the preparation of our substituted products by varying different bases, varying solvents and reaction time. We presented optimization conditions for all the steps. For step (a) we have carried the THP protection by using organic bases using triethyl amine, diisopropyl amine and DMAP but in all these reactions there is formation of N1 and N2 substituted THP product formation. N1-substituted product formation is of 60%, 65% and 59% respectively. We have planned to use the inorganic bases like NaOH, KOH, Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 in water as solvent. Among these reactions reaction with NaHCO3 gives 87% exclusive N1 product formation in remaining cases there is again a mixture of product formation takes (NaOH-70%, KOH- 68% and Na2CO3-73%) place so reaction with sodium bicarbonate is the preferable one for step a (Scheme 2).

chemistry-Synthesis-ethyl-acetate

Scheme 2: Synthesis ethyl 2-(1-substituted-1H-indazol-4-yl)acetate.

For step b we have done series of optimizations for finalizing the reaction conditions.

For step b we have protected compound 1 with DHP and methyl at N1 position.

We have done vicarious reactions by using literature procedure but we are failing to get yields more than 55% and tedious purifications are required so we have modified the condition. First we dissolve potassium t-butoxide in DMSO by heating then we have cooled it and added mixture of compound 1 and ethyl chloroacetate in DMSO solution. After addition of first drop of mixture the color of potassium t-butoxide changes from colorless to blue after 12 h there is completion of reaction. For work up we have to pour this reaction mixture in crushed ice solid precipitation occurs for both the N1-THP and methyl protected compounds, filter it and wash it with excess of water to obtain desired product as yellow solid with purity more than 90%, and yield is more than 90% for both the examples.

Step c is hydrolysis and deportation in one step by using 6N aqueous HCl solution to get substituted acetic acid derivative.

For step d we have done peptide coupling reactions with substituted thiazoles. We have used new conditions for peptide coupling which gives yields from 60% to 85% for different examples. We have avoided costly reagents and tedious work up for final peptide coupling for reactions of less reactive thiazoles.

We have synthesized derivatives from 4a to 4j in good yields and set a method for the synthesis of substituted acetic acid. The details of compounds are shown Table 1 below.

All the synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity. The antibacterial activity was evaluated against different bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus (NCIM-2901), Bacillus subtilis (NCIM-2063) and Escherichia coli (NCIM-2256). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, μg/mL) of antibacterial activity was determined using broth dilution methods per CLSI guidelines [15-18]. Levofloxacin was used as a standard drug for the comparison of antibacterial activity (Table 2). Fluconazole and miconazole were used as standard drugs for the comparison of antifungal activity. Dimethyl sulfoxide was used as solvent control. From the antimicrobial data, it is observed that all the newly synthesized compounds shows good to moderate level of antibacterial and antifungal activity (Table 2). The antimicrobial activity data reveals that compounds (4b, 4e, 4f, 4h and 4j), are found to be most active and potent as antimicrobial agents among the series. The structure-activity relationship of the series can be explained as follows, the molecule gave increased antimicrobial activity due to the presence of less bulky group on thiazol ring activity further increases when all thiazole ring is substituted with methyl and hydrogen atoms. The remaining compounds shows moderate to good antimicrobial activity.

Conclusion

In conclusion by using this methodology, substituted-(2-(1H-indazol-4-yl)acetamido)-4,5-substituted-thiazoles were synthesized in gram scale. All the compounds are purified through column chromatography by using different proportions and ethyl acetate and hexane. We have developed simple and continent method for the synthesis of some novel indazole-thiazole coupled derivatives through a reaction of substituted thiazole carboxylates and indazole acetic acid by simple reaction steps. No costly reagents are required, no any pre-purification is needed and all the compounds synthesized were obtained in good yields. Most of compounds show promising antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains.
