Zaki* National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt e-mail : mzaki@nrc.sci.eg Received 30.11.1998 Abstract Reaction of ketene derivatives (1a,b) on treatment with 4-amino-1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl pyrazolin-5-one gives compounds (2a,b) which react with hydrazine to afford 1-phenyl-2,3 dimethyl-4-[3-(5-amino-4-substituted)-1H-pyrazolylamino]pyrazolin-5-one (3a,b). Compounds (3a,b) on treatment with Boc. amino acids derivatives, acetic anhydride, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes afforded (4a-h), (5a-h), (6-10), (11a,b), respectively. Interaction of (9) or (10) with acetohydrazide, hydrazines, and then with p-bromobenzaldehyde afforded compounds (13), (14a,b) and (15), respectively. Interaction of (3a) with thioglycollic acid afforded pyrazolopyridines derivatives ( 16). Introduction Amino acids and peptides play an outstanding role as growth factors, hormones, ionophores, antibiotics, immune peptides and toxins(1,2). Substantial literature evidence has been accumulated that amino acids and peptides, being natural and multifunctional, their conjugates with biologically active agents which are generally synthetic organics are supposed to be more potent and particularly less toxic than their parent compounds(3,4). Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines are of considerable chemical and pharmacological importance as purine analogues(5,6), and have antitumor and antileukemic activities. Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines are also purine analogues and as such have useful properties as antimetabolites in purine biochemical reaction (7-9). Moreover, biological activity(10-12) of pyrazole and its derivatives is well known. antischistosomal activity has been observed for derivatives of this ring system(13) making these fused azoles excellent candidates as potential drugs for Schistosomiasis.

Results and Discussion In the present work, 5-N-pyrazolyl amino acids were conjugated with pyrazolopyrimidines and pyrazolopyridines with the intention to obtain new compounds with biological activities. Five protected proteinogenic amino acids were selected as different classes of amino acids, namely: Boc-L-valine, Z-L-leucine, Boc-L-threonine (OBzL), Boc-L-phenyl alanine, and Boc-L-histidine. All these amino acids have pharmacological activities in many aspects and in nutrition(14-16). tert-Butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and carbobenzoxy (Z) are protecting groups used as N-terminal substituents of amino acids. In the present work, 5-amino-3-[(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino]-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (3a)(17) and methyl-5-amino-3-[(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino]-1H-pyrazol-4-carboxylate (3b) were synthesized by the reaction of hydrazine hydrate with 2-[[(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino](methyl-sulfanyl)methylene]malononitrile (2a)(17) and methyl(2-E)-2-cyano-3-[(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino]-3-(methylsulfanyl)-2-propenoate (2b) obtained by the reaction of methyl-2-cyano-3,3-bis (methyl-sulfanyl) acrylate (1b) with 4-amino-1-phenyl-2,3,dimethyl pyrazolin-5-one, respectively (Scheme 1). 1-Phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-4- [3-(5-substituted amino-4-cyano)-1H-pyrazolyl-amino]pyrazolin-5-one derivatives, also 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-4-[-3-(5-substituted amino-4-carbomethoxy)-1H-pyrazolylamino]pyrazolin-5-one, (4a-h), (5a-h), (6), respectively, were prepared by direct coupling of compound (3a,b) with N-terminal protected amino acids namely L-valine, L-threonine, L-phenylalanine and L-histidine using t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and carbobenzoxy (Z) as protecting groups. Coupling (19,20) (21) took place using (DCC) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) as a catalyst to afford compounds (4a-h). Deprotection of compounds (4a-h) took place to furnish compounds (5a-h). 1-Phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-4-[3-(5-substituted amino-4-cyano)-1H-pyrazolylamino]pyrazolin-5-one dipeptide derivative (6) was prepared by coupling of compound (5c) with carbobenzoxy L-leucine via the active ester method using N-(22) hydroxysuccinimide (HoSu) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as coupling reagent (Scheme 2).

The regio selectivity in these reactions is often achieved to greater extent by the use of appropriate solvent. Acetic acid was considered as most suitable solvent for the condensation-cyclization reaction to achieve isomeric 3a, X = CN b, X = COOCH3 ArCHO where X = CN "'WW TT w-NnAa N21> -COOCH3 , ^6/-COCH, N N 3 COOCH, H30, NH,____^COC H3C^ N ^O N NH COOCH, CH, (10A) (H3C)3C-OCO-NH-CH 2-COOH H3C >J' N=CHAr ^e ¦* H3C^> O N N=CHAr O^^CH^HCCOCCC H3)3 (H) lla,Ar=Ph-Br-p b, Ar = furyl-CH 3-5 (12) Scheme 3 selectivity.

This spectrum corresponds to 10B, 1-phenyl-2,3, dimethyl-4-[3 -(3 -carbomethoxy-4H-5 -methylpyrazolo [1,5 -a)-1H-pyrazolylamino]pyrazolin-5-one. The structure was proven by chemical transformation by acetylation into 9 in moderate yield. Also, compound (3a) reacted with different aldehydes, namely p-bromo-benzaldehyde and 5-methylfurfural to give compounds (lla,b) respectively (Scheme 3), while coupling of (11a) with N-terminal protected acid to afford 1-N-pyrazolyl protected amino acid (12) failed. In continuation to our programe(17,18,24-26) for synthesis of new heterocycles based on pyrazolopyrimidines of biological interest, we report herein the interaction of compoud 9 with acetohydrazide to yield compound 13. The formation of 2-(4-antipyryl)- 3-(2-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)-7-methylpyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidine-5-one (13) took place by elimination of methanol and water (Scheme 4). The structure of compound 13 was confirmed chemically by transformations of compounds 9 and/or 10 with hydrazine to afford (14a,b) respectively (Scheme 4). 9, 10 N2H4 H3C-CO-NHNH2 -N_, ^ NH T~\ N NHNH, R H,C N ^O N N Ac20 NH Y N------N 11 jf -t> JSU /^ N^ /^ /R ^/-^. 14a, R=COCH3 b, R=H Br----—Br O N N Scheme 4 (15) A.

The cyclocondensation of ß-keto ester such as ethyl acetoacetate with 1,3-disubstituted-5-aminopyrazole has been previously studied by several investigators to afford pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine(27). The interaction of 4,5-disubstituted pyrazoles with thioglycolic acid was not reported before. For this, we reported herein the interaction of (3a) with thioglycolic acid to afford 3-mercapto-4-amino-5-(4-antipyryl-amino)pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5(1H)-one (16) by using DCC and HoSu (Scheme 5).

Most of the newly synthesized compounds are subjected to pharmacological investigation and will be published elsewhere. Experimental Melting points are uncorrected. Microanalyses were carried out in the Microanalytical Centre, Cairo University, Egypt.

Mass spectra were recorded on a MS 30 (AEL) with electron impact ionisation at 70 eV. All thin layer chromatography (TLC) was done on silica gel on aluminum sheets (60F245-Merck) using ninhydrine and starch reagents for the detection of amino acid derivatives. A. M. Shalaby, O. A.
