THIENOPYRIMIDINE DERRIVATIVES
ABSTRACT
A series of substituted benzaldehyde 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-
d]pyrimidin-4-ylhydrazone (VIIa-b) were prepared by the displacement reaction
between various aldehyde and 4-hydrazino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-
d]pyrimidine (VII), which was obtained by refluxing 4-chloro-5,6,7,8-
tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine (VI) with hydrazine hydrate. Compound
VI was obtained by refluxing 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-
4(3H)-one (IV) with phosphorus oxychloride. Compound IV was obtained by
cyclization of ethyl 2-amino-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate
(III) with formamide. Compound III was obtained by refluxing cyclo hexanone (I),
sulphur and ethylcyanoacetate (II) in ethanol (Gewald thiophene synthesis). The
synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1H NMR and Mass spectral
data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activities.
Compounds VIIa and VIIb were found to have excellent antimicrobial activity
against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus mutants when compared with
standard used (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid).

1. INTRODUCTION
Medicinal Chemistry is concerned with the invention, discovery, design,
identification and preparation of biologically active compounds, the study of their
metabolism, the interpretation of their mode of action at the molecular level and the
construction of structure activity relationships.
The thorough research in the field of medicinal chemistry has led to the
discovery and synthesis of excellent therapeutic agents. Now the man has achieved a
remarkable success in combating many of the deadly diseases, which threatened the
existence of human race. He is also successful in eradicating certain types of diseases
completely. But still his research and development work is continuing to control and
eradicate terrible diseases like cancer and AIDS.
The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds has taken a major share in the
remarkable progress of medicinal chemistry. The role of heterocyclic compounds has
become increasingly important not only in the medicinal field but also in the field of
agriculture industry to a larger extent. The main goal of medicinal chemists is to plan
the synthesis of new and biologically active drugs.
This thesis deals with the investigation carried out by the writer in this
laboratory on the “Synthesis, characterization and biological activities of substituted
benzaldehyde 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylhydrazone”
Before discussing the experimental procedures adopted and the results obtained, a
brief introduction to therapeutic agents based on this ring and related moieties and in
particular a literature survey on the investigations carried by earlier workers on the
synthesis and evaluation of the heterocyclic compounds based on the above ring
moieties would be presented in this chapter.
A large number of organic therapeutic agents have been developed during the
last 35 years and these are now available to us in dosage forms suitable for the
treatment of the diseases and often used to maintain our health. These organic
compounds range from simple homocyclic compounds like aspirin to complex
heterocycles like tubocurarine, metacurine etc.
Most important biochemical compounds and drugs of natural origin contain
heterocyclic ring structures. The presence of heterocyclic structures in diverse type
of compounds is indicative of the profound effects. Examples included to research
DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY , NPC 7

leading to a wide variety of modern drugs such as chlordiazepoxide (tranquillizer),
methazolamide (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor), guanethidine (antihypertensive),
stanozolol (anabolic), cyclophosphamide and thiotepa (antineoplastic),
hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic and antihypertensive), imipramine (antidepressant),
lucanthone (antischistosomal), and many others.
It has been estimated that more than half of all therapeutic agents consist of
heterocyclic compounds. The heterocyclic ring system in many cases comprises the
very core of the active moiety or pharmacophore. For example, the antibiotic activity
of cephalosporin antibiotics is clearly attributable to the presence of the fused
azetidone ring, while the anxiolytic activity of the benzodiazepines can be traced of
the aryl fused diazepine present in these drugs. Examples discussed in this chapter and
those that follow have been chosen because either their heterocyclic component is
believed to form part of a pharmacophore or alternatively, they illustrate aspects of
the chemistry of particular heterocyclic rings. Many drugs do exists in which the
heterocyclic component is a surrogate for open chain amine, as illustrated by those
drugs bearing piperidine or pyrolidine rings in lieu of open chain tertiary amines.

1.1 THIENOPYRIMIDINE
Fusion of thiophene to a pyrimidine nucleus gives rise to three positional
isomers : thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1), thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (2) and thieno[3,4-
d]pyrimidine (3).

One general strategy for the synthesis of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines (1) consists
of the condensation of a suitable 2-amino-3-thiophene carboxylate, 2-amino-3-
thiophene carboxamide (or) 2-acylamino-3-thiophene carboxylate with reagent that
provide the remaining fragment required for cyclization to the condensed system,
example formamide, imidates, nitrites, urea, aromatic amines, ammonium salts of
organic acids, N,N’-dimethylphosphorodiamidates and 2-chloropyrimidines. Thus
using a modified Niementowski reaction and heating 2-amino-3-
methoxycarbonylthiophene (4) in formamide for two hours at 2000C yields (5).
Refluxing (5) with phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of pyridine gives 4-
cholorothieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine (6). The chlorine atom in (6) is easily replaced by
nucleophilic agents like sodium methoxide in methanol, sodium phenoxide in phenol,
ammonia, hydrazine, etc.

nitriles (8) under acidic conditions. Presumably an amidine intermediate (9) is
involved which undergoes intramolecular cyclization by nucleophilic attack on the

Electrophilic substitution reactions of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine occur at position 7.
Thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared for the first time by Baker
and coworkers. Where as the application of Niementowski reaction to (18) yielded
only traces of (19), treatment of the N-formyl derivative (21), with ammoniumformate
and formamide at 1450C for 6h gave a 46% yield of thieno[3,4-d]pyrmidin-4-one
(20). The action of ammonia in methanol on (19) with subsequent base catalyzed ring
closure of the bisamide (21) is a preferred way for the preparation of (20)1.
1.2 Literature Review
Several investigations have been carried out by earlier workers on the
synthesis, characterization and pharmacological activities of heterocyclic compounds
containing the thienopyrimidine moiety. A literature survey was, therefore carried out
on such investigations. The survey is limited to 2006-1989.

2. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
It has been estimated that more than half of therapeutic agents available today
are made up of heterocyclic compounds. The heterocyclic ring system in many case
are the very core of the active moiety or pharmacore, for example the antibiotic
activity of cephalosporin antibiotics is clearly attributable to the presence of the fused
azetidone ring. While the anxiolytic activity of the benzodiazepines can be traced to
the aryl fused diazepine present in these drugs.
Chemical modifications of drug molecules of a series having optimal activity
is widely used and continue to be an important factor in new drug discovery studies.
In order to obtain new, effective and safe drugs has led today’s researchers to improve
the existing drugs by increasing their potency, duration of action and by decreasing
the toxic side effects. Structure activity studies show that variations in ring system or
minor group extent distinct pharmacological effect upon the drug molecules.
Thienopyrimidine derivatives have been reported to have a variety of
activies. For example thienopyrimidines displayed anticancer4,5,15,18,19,,22,25,36,43,
antiviral37,40,49, antimicrobial2,6,20,30,38,42, antihyperlipaemic35,52, 5-HT1A,5-HT2,5-HT3
receptor antagonist8,9,32,50, gastric antisecretory39,54,55, CNS depressant33,48,
phosphodiesterase inhibitor21,26,27, molluscidal24, antifungal23, antimalarial44,
analgesic48, fertility controlling34, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist10 and
aldose-reductase inhibitor46 activities. In other words the thienopyrimidine moiety is
an important structural feature of many biologically active compounds.
It was proposed, therefore, to synthesize some new thienopyrimidine
containing compounds. These structural moieties were characterized in terms of their
IR, NMR and mass spectral analysis to elucidate their structure. It is likely that their
new derivatives with some modification in their chemical structure may result in some
profound change in the pharmacological response. It may increase, decrease or alter
the nature of the response.

3. EXPERIMENTAL
Organic chemists are frequently facing the problem of characterizing and
ultimately elucidating the structure of organic compounds. The worker in the field of
natural products has the prospects of isolating such compounds from the sources in a
pure state and then determining their structure. On the other hand, the synthetic
organic chemist encounters new or unexpected compounds in the course of
investigations into the applicability of new reagents or techniques or as byproducts of
established reactions.
All reactions were carried out under prescribed laboratory conditions. All the
reactions requiring anhydrous conditions were conducted in well dried apparatus.
The solvents and reagents used in the synthetic work were of laboratory
reagent grade and were purified by distillation and crystallization techniques wherever
necessary and their melting points were checked with the available literature.
Melting points of newly synthesized compounds were determined by open
capillary method and were uncorrected. The final products were purified by
recrystalization and micro TLC checked purity.
The IR spectra of the compounds were recorded on JASCO FT/IR-5300
spectrometer using KBr pellet. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in a BRUKER DPX-
400MHz spectrometer using TMS as internal standard.

3.2 Antimicrobial activity
The antimicrobial activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated by the
zone of inhibition method56. This method is based on the diffusion of an antibiotic
from a filter paper disc through the solidified culture media of a petridish used for the
study. Growth of inoculated microorganism is inhibited entirely in a circular area
“zone” around the filter paper disc containing a solution of the antibiotic and the test
compounds.
The organisms were maintained on nutrient agar slants. One loopful of each
strain of microorganism was transferred into a suitable agar slant by using a sterile
Pasteur loop. These slants were incubated for 24h at 370C for bacteria and 250C for
fungi and were observed for the growth of the organism with naked eye for their
turbid nature. The presence of turbidity indicated the growth and stability of the
culture for further work.

DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY , NPC 39
THIENOPYRIMIDINE DERRIVATIVES
Preparation of stock culture
From the cultures, which were maintained on nutrient agar slants, one loop full
of the respective organisms were taken and aseptically transferred to 100ml of a
sterile nutrient broth in a flask, which was shaken thoroughly and incubated at 370C
for bacteria and 250C for fungi.
Preparation of culture medium:
Composition of Mueller Hinton agar medium
Beef infusion 300ml
Casein hydrolysate 16g
Starch 1.5g
Agar 15g
Distilled water 1000ml
pH 7.2 ± 0.2
The medium was prepared by dissolving the specified quantity of the
dehydrated medium in purified water and was dispersed in 20ml volumes in to test
tubes. The test tubes were closed with cotton plugs and were sterilized by
autoclaving at 121°C (15 lb psig) for 15 minutes. The contents of tubes were
poured aseptically in to sterile petri plates (90mm diameter) and allowed to
solidify.
Preparation of drug solution
The drug solutions were prepared by dissolving in dimethyl sulphoxide
(DMSO). The solutions of the test drugs were prepared at the concentration of
1000mg/ml in DMSO. The solutions of standard drugs cefixime and ketoconazole
were prepared at the concentration of 1000 mg/ml in DMSO.
DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY , NPC 40
THIENOPYRIMIDINE DERRIVATIVES
Method
Previously liquefied Muller Hinton Agar media was inoculated with the
requisite quantity of the suspension of the microorganism, the suspension was added
to the medium at a temperature between 40 – 50 0C and the inoculated medium was
poured immediately into dried Petri dish to occupy a depth of 3 - 4 mm. The Petri
dishes were allowed to be sterilized at 160 – 170oC for 24 h, before use.
The paper disc (No – 2 Whatmann) was cut down into a small disc (6 mm in
diameter) and sterilized in the hot air oven, and then impregnated with the test
solutions and standard solution. The dried discs were placed on the surface of the
medium.
After all the drugs are added Petri dishes were left standing for 1 to 4h at room
temperature, as a period of pre-incubation diffusion to minimize the effects of
variation in time between the application of different solutions. All the Petri dishes
were incubated for 24 h at the required temperatures, i.e. 370C for bacteria and 250C
for fungi. After incubation the diameters of the circular inhibition zones were
measured.

4.2 Antimicrobial activity
DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY , NPC 51
THIENOPYRIMIDINE DERRIVATIVES
In vitro tests are used as screening procedure for new agents and for testing the
susceptibility of individual isolates from infections to determine which of the
available drugs might be useful therapeutically. Due to the development of
sulphonamides and pencillins, in vitro measurement of susceptibility of microbes to
chemotherapeutic agents has been use.
A drug is considered to have bacteriostatic or fungistatic activity when it
inhibits the activity of bacteria or fungi respectively and bactericidal or fungicidal
activity and its kill bacteria and fungi. Important factors for antimicrobial activity for
size of the inoculum, metabolic state of microbe, pH, temperature, duration of
interaction, concentration of inhibitor and presence of interference substances.
The development of resistance among various pathogenic microbes towards
the antibiotics has increased the impetus for investigating new antimicrobial agent.
When a compound was found to have positive therapeutic index, a new series of
related compounds are synthesized in the hope that one of them would be more
effective than the existing one. A drug, which kills or inhibits the growth of microbes,
is known as antimicrobial agent.
Antibacterial activity was carried out on four bacterial strains, namely
Staphylococcus aureus (gram positive), Staphylococcus mutants (gram positive),
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella typhi (gram negative), Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (gram negative) and antifungal activity was carried out on two fungal

feature for biologically active compounds and the scheme of compounds proposed to
be synthesized and investigated in the present work for their Biological and
antimicrobial activities.
The third chapter of the thesis explains in detail the experimental procedures
that are adopted in the present investigation.
The fourth chapter of the thesis deals with the results obtained in the present
study along with detailed discussion on the results supported by reaction schemes,
tables, figures, etc.,
The following are some of the important findings in the present study:
1) Thienopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized in good yields (60-78%).
2) Compound VIIa exhibited good antibacterial activitie.
3) Compound VIIa and VIIb exhibited good antibacterial activity against
Staphylococcus aureus, Paseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and the
zone of inhibition produced by this compound was comparable to that of the
standard used.
4) The synthesized compounds apart from the antimicrobial activities in the
present thesis are believed to exert various other activities such as anticancer,
gastric antisecretory, anti-HIV, antimalarial and fertility controlling activities.
As there is an increase in the incidence of AIDS and cancer, these compounds
may be evaluated for their anti-HIV and anticancer activities in future.

The synthesized compounds apart from the anticonvulsant, analgesic and
antimicrobial activities in the present thesis are believed to have
• Anticancer,
• Gastricantisecretory,
• Anti-HIV and
• Selective 5-HT receptor ligand activities
• Antihyperlipidemic
• Antiviral activity
As there is an increase in the incidence of AIDS and cancer, these compounds
may be evaluated for their anti-HIV and anticancer activities in future.
