Synthesis of 1-(2-chloro-2-phenylethyl)-6-methylthio-1 H-pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidines 4-amino substituted and their biological evaluation (original) (raw)

A facile and novel synthesis of N(2)-, C(6)-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4 carboxylate derivatives as adenosine receptor antagonists

European journal of medicinal chemistry, 2015

An efficient synthetic procedure was adopted to synthesize a series of new molecules containing the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP) scaffold, which have been evaluated as promising human adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists. The effect of substitutions at the N(2), C(4) and C(6) positions of PPs on the affinity and selectivity towards the adenosine receptors were explored. Most of the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-carboxylates displayed from moderate to good affinity at the human A3AR (hA3AR), as indicated by the low micromolar range of Ki values (Ki hA3AR = 0.7-34 μM). In particular, compounds 60 and 62 displayed good affinity at the hA3AR (60, Ki hA3AR = 2.2 μM and 62, Ki hA3AR = 2.9 μM) and selectivity towards the other AR subtypes (60, >46-fold selective and 62, >34-fold selective, respectively). In view of these results, these novel PP analogues were docked both in the crystallographic structure of the hA2AAR and in a homology model of the hA3AR in order to support the struct...

7-Amino-2-phenylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives: structural investigations at the 5-position to target human A₁ and A(2A) adenosine receptors. Molecular modeling and pharmacological studies

European journal of medicinal chemistry, 2014

In previous research, several 7-amino-2-arylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were identified as highly potent and selective antagonists at the human A3 adenosine receptor. Structure-activity relationship studies highlighted that affinity and selectivity depended on the nature of the substituents at the 5- and 7-positions of the pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold. In particular, small lipophilic residues at the 5-position and a free amino group at position 7 afforded compounds able to bind all four human (h) adenosine receptors. Hence, to shift affinity toward the hA1 and/or hA(2A) subtypes, alkyl and arylalkyl chains of different length were appended at position 5 of the 2-phenylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-amine. Among the new compounds, a dual hA1/hA(2A) receptor antagonist was identified, namely the 5-(3-phenylpropyl) derivative 25, which shows high affinity both at human A1 (K(i) = 5.31 nM) and A(2A) (K(i) = 55 nM) receptors. We also obtained some potent and selective antagon...
