Abstract

The present research work describes the synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds using khellinone methyl ether (1) as a starting material. Compound (1) allowed to react with different aldehydes namely, benzaldehyde, p-methoxy benzaldehyde and p-nitro benzaldehyde to give the corresponding chalcones (2a-c). The latter compounds reacted with malononitrile, guanidine, ethylcyanoacetate and ethylacetoacetate to yield cyanopyridine, aminopyrimidine, cyanopyridone and cyclohexenone derivatives (3a-c), (4a-c), (5a-c) and (6a-c) respectively. When (2a-c) allowed to react with urea and thiourea, they gave oxopyrimidine and thioxopyrimidine derivatives (7a-c) and (8a-c). On the other hand compound (8a-c) condensed with 3-bromopropionic acid or chloroacetic acid to yield thiazinopyrimidine (9a-c) and 3- thiazolo-pyrimidine (10a-c) respectively. Compounds (8a-c) were condensed with chloroacetic acid and aromatic aldehyde to yield the aryl methylene derivatives (11a-c) which could be prepared directly by condensation of compound (10a-c) with aromatic aldehyde. The characterization of the resulting products were confirmed by FTIR, 1HNMR, MS and elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aurignosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus using the disc diffusion method.

Keywords
antibacterial agents, pyridine derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, cyclohexenone derivatives, thiazinopyrimidine derivatives, and thiazolo-pyrimidine derivatives.

INTRODUCTION
Chalcones, one of the major classes of natural products with widespread occurrence in fruits, vegetables, spices and soy based foodstuff, have been reported to possess several biological activities such as anti-inflammatory(1), antibacterial (2,3), anti-fungal(4-6), and anti-tumor activities(7-10). An important feature of chalcones is their ability to act as an intermediate for the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds such as, pyridine, pyrimidine, cyclohexenone, pyrazoline and isoxazoline derivatives (11,12) . pyrimidine and related pyrimidines are classes of fused heterocycles that are of considerable interest because of the diverse range of their biological properties. These are among a wide variety of nitrogen heterocycles that have been explored for developing pharmaceutically important molecules. Thiazolopyrimidine and related fused heterocycles are of interest as potential bioactive molecules, which can be considered as thia-analogues of the natural purine bases such as adenine and guanine, and have acquired a growing importance in the field of medicinal chemistry because of their biological potential. They are known to exhibit pharmacological activities such as analgesic, antiinflammatory, antiarrhythmic, antiparkinsonian, and anticancer activities (13-20). In the last several decades, fused pyrimidine derivatives are a class of heterocyclic compounds that have attracted significant interest in medicinal chemistry because they have a wide range of pharmaceutical and pharmacological applications including potential anti-tumor, antimycobacterial, and antiviral activities. Moreover, in recent years, it was reported that many fused pyrimidine analogues were reported to be inhibitors of tyrosine kinase and cyclin-dependent kinases, which are involved in mediating the transmission of mitogenic signals and numerous other cellular events (21- 26), including, cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, metabolism, and immune responses. It was also found that many of these derivatives may block proliferation of various cancer cell lines (27). Based on the above observation and in continuation of our search work (11-14) , herein we reported the synthesis of some new pyridine, pyrimidine, fused pyrimidine and cyclohexenone derivatives and evaluating their antibacterial activity.

II- ESULTS AND DISCUSION
II.1. CHEMISTRY
The reaction routes for the synthesis of the title compounds were described, as shown in Schemes 1 and 2. Claisen– Schmidt reaction of khellinone methyl ether (1) with some aromatic aldehydes namely, benzaldehyde, p-methoxy or pnitrobezaldehydes in ethanol in the presence of aqueous potassium hydroxide (25%) led to the formation of 4,6,7-trimethoxy-5-( 3- substituted cinammoyl) benzofuran (2a-c) (Scheme 1). Compounds (2a-c) were confirmed by their correct elemental analyses and spectral data. Cyclocondensation of chalcones (2a-c) with malononitrile in absolute ethanol and in the presence of ammonium acetate as a catalyst to give 2-amino-3- cyano- 4-(substituted phenyl)-6- (4,6,7- trimethoxy benzofuran-5- yl) pyridine (3a-c). Reaction of chalcones (2a-c) with guanidine hydrochloride in dry ethanol in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate yielded 2-amino- - 4-(substituted phenyl) -6- (4,6,7- trimethoxy benzofuran-5- yl) -3,4-dihydropyrimidine (4a-c) (Scheme 1). It was reported that, reaction of chalcone with ethylcyanoacetate in absolute ethanol and in the presence of ammonium acetate as a catalyst to give 2-oxo-3- cyano- 4-(substituted phenyl)- 6- (4,6,7- trimethoxy benzofuran-5- yl) -1,2-dihydropyridine (5a-c). Moreover, reaction of chalcone with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of aqueous potassium hydroxide gives rise to ethyl-4-(4,6,7- trimethoxy benzofuran-5- yl)- 6-(substituted phenyl) -2-oxo-cyclohexa-3-ene-1-ethyl carboxylate (6a-c). Reaction of compounds (2a-c) with urea in dry ethanol in the presence of glacial acetic acid as a catalyst gave 4-(4,6,7- trimethoxy benzofuran-5- yl)-6-(substituted phenyl)-pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (7a-c) (Scheme 1). But when compounds (2a-c) reacted with thiourea yielded 4-- (substituted phenyl) -6- (4,6,7- trimethoxy benzofuran-5- yl) -1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-thione (8a-c) (Scheme 2). Reaction of compounds (8a-c) bromopropionic acid and chloroacetic acid in acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate gave 5-(6-(substituted phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-6H-thiazino[3,2-a]-pyrimidine-4- one-8-yl)-4,6,7-trimethoxy benzofuran (9a-c) and 5-(5-(substituted phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-6H-thiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin- 3-one-7-yl)-4,6,7-trimethoxy benzofuran (10a-c) respectively. Condensation of (10a-c) with aromatic aldehydes namely, benzaldehyde, p-methoxy or p-nitrobezaldehydes in acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate yielded 5-(2-arylmethylene-5-(substituted phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]- pyrimidin-3- one-7-yl)-4,6,7-trimethoxy benzofuran (11a-c). however, compounds (11a-c) were prepared directly from (8a-c) by its reaction with chloroacetic acid, aromatic aldehydes in acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate (scheme 2) .
The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the bases of elemental analyses as well as spectral data (IR, 1HNMR and MS spectra) (c.f. Experimental section).
II.2. ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY
The antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds against, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aurignosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus were measured by measuring the zone of inhibition in disc diffusion method. the inhibition zones of microbial growth surrounding the filter paper disc (5mm) were measured in millimeters to the corresponding synthesized compounds are shown in (Table 1). The Zone of inhibition ranged from 9-30 mm. Test results are shown in (Table 1). From the data, it is clear that compounds (4b),( 6a), (7b), (9b), (10a) and (11b) possess high activity, while compounds (1), ( 2c ), ( 3c ), (4a ), (4c ), (5b ), (5c ), (6b ),(7c )(8a) , (8b) and (9a) possess moderate activity and the rest of the prepared compounds possess low activity against gram-positive strains as far as gram-negative microorganisms are concerned.
In our study, a wide range of microorganisms were examined, including Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria, This may partly indicate that synthesized compounds have broad inhibitory activities to pathogenic microorganisms and are promising to act as potential antibacterial agents sources according to (Gücin et al.1997)(28).

III. ANTIBACTERIA EVALUATION
III.1. BACTERIAL CULTURA
Isolated pure culture of pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aurignosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, All the strains were confirmed by cultural and biochemical characteristics and maintained in slants for further use.
III.2. EVALUATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY
Antibacterial activity of each synthesized compounds was determined using a disc diffusion method(29,30). Briefly, 100 μl of the test bacteria were grown in 10 ml of fresh media until they reached a count of approximately 108 cells/ml for bacteria, 100 μl of microbial suspension was spread onto the Nutrient agar plates. The synthesized compounds were tested using 5 mm sterilized filter paper discs. Discs were impregnated with 100 μl ( 0.1 mg/mL concentration) of the test samples (acetone as Solvent), allowed to dry and placed onto inoculated plates (30 min incubation). The plates were allowed to stand at 4οC for 2 hours before incubation with the test microbial agents. Plates inoculated with Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aurignosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus were incubated at 37οC for 24 hours, than the diameters of the inhibition zones were measured in millimeters. Each antibacterial assay was performed in triplicate and mean values were reported. Standard antibiotics, streptomycin (10 served as positive controls for antibacterial activity. Filter discs impregnated with 10 μl of distilled water were used as a negative control. Solvent control disc (acetone) was also placed with the test, positive and negative control.
