A new series of structurally diverse thienopyrimidines have been synthesized with the
annulations of heterocyclic structural pharmacophores. All the newly synthesized compounds
were characterized by IR, 1H and
13C NMR and LC-MS spectral studies and tested for their
antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The 3-amino-4-(1-phenyl-2-(thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-
ylsulfonyl)ethyl)isoxazol-5(4H)-one (14) showed excellent radical-scavenging activity when
compared with the standard BHT. Hence the novel thienopyrimidine derivatives are
considered as potent antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

INTRODUCTION The annulations of two or more heterocyclic systems (pharmacophoric structures) has been one of the best approaches in
rational drug design in generating new structurally diverse drugs as structural diversity is obviously directly related to the compounds
potentiality able with pharmacological activities. In fast few decades there is remarkable growth in the development of antimicrobial
drugs. However development of the resistance against these antimicrobial is in an alarming stage. Moreover, the antioxidant of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) capable of causing damage to DNA has been associated with carcinogenesis, coronary heart disease
and many other health problems related to advancing nature [1]. They make use of their effects by scavenging or preventing the
invention of ROS which can protect the formation of free radicals and retard the growth of many chronic diseases including cancer
[2], neurodegenerative, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases [3]. Recently, qualitative SARS and rational-design strategies for
antioxidants have been used to join multiple functions including a diversity of multiple antioxidant properties such as radical-
scavenging ability and diversified pharmacological activities to numerous functions during one molecule scaffold [4].
The rapid developments in the literature dealing with the synthesis and biological activities of the thienopyrimidine
derivatives encouraged us to carry out the synthesis of novel fused thienopyrimidine derivatives. However, the development of simple,
facile and efficient methods to give five member triazoles, oxadiazoles, thiadizoles and isoxazole containing thienopyrimidine
heterocycles is one of the major aspects in organic synthesis. Indeed, numerous series of thienopyrimidine heterocyclic compounds
possessing a bridgehead triazole moiety play an imperative role in lots of biological activities such as fungicidal, anti-inflammatory
and analgesic agents [5]. In the past few years, thienopyrimidines have attracted great attention owing to their inspiring array of
pharmacological activities. They were found to demonstrate antioxidant [6, 7], cyclin D1-CDK4 [8], adenosine A2A receptor [9],
antituberculosis [10], antihypertensive [11], 5-HT1A receptor [12], antiproliferative [13], anti viral, antitumor and antibacterial activity
[14]. An extensive multiplicity of heterocyclic systems has been explored for growing pharmaceutically essential molecules. Along
with the derivatives of oxadiazoles, triazoles and thiadiazoles have played an important task in the medicinal chemistry. These
heterocycles have been originated to acquire broad spectrum anti bacterial and nonulcerogenic anti-inflammatory activity [15, 16] and
also the 1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole rings with sulfone nucleus possess significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity
[17]. In addition, compounds bearing the isoxazole ring also have a noteworthy number of biological applications displaying PTP1B
[18], antifungal [19], HDAC inhibitors [20] and antitumor activity [21]. In view of this intelligence and a range of applications of
thienopyrimidine heterocycles, we herein report the synthesis of a series of novel thienopyrimidine mono and bis triazole, oxadiazole,
thiadiazole and isoxazole heterocycles by incorporating the bioactive groups attached to corresponding sulfone moiety, which
fortunately resulted in noticeable antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
METERIAL AND METHODS
Chemistry
Melting points were determined in open capillaries on a Mel-Temp apparatus and are uncorrected. All the reactions were
monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on precoated silica gel 60 F254 (mesh); spots were visualized with UV light. Merck
silica gel (60-120 mesh) was used for column chromatography. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer BX1 FTIR
Spectrophotometer as KBr pellets and the wave numbers were given in cm-1
. 1H NMR (400 MHz), and
13C NMR (100 MHz) spectra
were recorded on a Bruker AMX 400 MHz NMR spectrometer in CDCl3/DMSO-d6 solution using TMS as an internal standard. The
mass spectra were recorded on Agilent 1100 LC/MSD instrument with method API-ES at 70 eV. All chemical shifts are reported in δ
(ppm) using TMS as an internal standard.
Preparation of compounds (2-6)
These compounds were prepared in our laboratory, according to reported procedure [27-30]
General Procedure for the preparation of compounds (7 and 7a)
Potassium hydroxide (1.68 g, 30 mmol) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (50 mL). The solution was cooled in ice bath and
solutions of (6 and 6a) (5.56 g, 20 mmol) were added with stirring. To this carbon disulphide (1.5 mL, 25 mmol) was added in small
portions with constant stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred continuously for 12 h at room temperature. The precipitated
potassium dithiocarbazinate was collected by filtration, washed with anhydrous ether (100 mL) and dried in vacuum. The potassium
salts (7 and 7a) thus obtained and were used in the next step without further purification.
General Procedure for the preparation of compounds (8 and 9)
A suspension of potassium dithiocarbazinate salts (7 and 7a) (7.84 g, 20 mmol) in water (50 mL) and hydrazine hydrate (1.9
mL, 40 mmol) was refluxed for 16-20 h with occasional shaking. The colour of the reaction mixture changed to green with the
evolution of hydrogen sulfide gas. A homogenous reaction mixture was obtained during the reaction process. The reaction mixture
was cooled to room temperature and diluted with cold water (20 mL). On acidification with acetic acid the required triazoles 8 and 9
were precipitated out, respectively. It was filtered, washed thoroughly with cold water, dried and recrystallized from ethanol.

Biological assays
Antioxidant testing
The compounds 8-14 are tested for antioxidant property by DPPH, nitric oxide and H2O2 methods.
DPPH radical scavenging activity
The hydrogen atom or electron donation ability of the compounds was measured from the bleaching of the purple colour
methanol solution of 2,2,-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The spectrophotometric assay uses the stable radical DPPH as a
reagent. 1 mL of various concentrations of the test compounds (25, 50, 75 and 100 µg/mL) in methanol were added to 4 mL of
0.004% (w/v) methanol solution of DPPH. After a 30 min incubation period at room temperature, the absorbance was read against
blank at 517 nm. The percent of inhibition (I %) of free radical production from DPPH was calculated by the following equation
% of scavenging = [(A control - A sample)/A blank] × 100
Where a control is the absorbance of the control reaction (containing all reagents except the test compound) and a sample is the
absorbance of the test compound. Tests were carried at in triplicate.
Nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity
Nitric oxide scavenging activity was measured by slightly modified methods of Green et al. and Marcocci et al. Nitric oxide
radicals (NO) were generated from sodium nitroprusside. 1 mL of sodium nitroprusside (10 mM) and 1.5 mL of phosphate buffer
saline (0.2 M, pH 7.4) were added to different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 µg/mL) of the test compounds and incubated for 150
min at 25 0C. After incubation, 1 mL of the reaction mixture was treated with 1 mL of Griess reagent (1%sulfanilamide, 2% H3PO4
and 0.1% naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride). The absorbance of the chromatophore was measured at 546 nm. Butylated
hydroxyl toluene (BHT) was used as standard. Nitric oxide scavenging activity was calculated by the following equation
% of scavenging = [(A control - A sample)/A blank] × 100
Where a control is the absorbance of the control reaction (containing all reagents except the test compound) and a sample is the
absorbance of the test compound. Tests were carried at in triplicate.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging activity
The H2O2 scavenging ability of the test compound was determined according to the method of Ruch et al. A solution of H2O2
(40 mM) was prepared in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). 10, 25, 50, 75 &100 µg/mL concentrations of the test compounds in 3.4 ml
phosphate buffer were added to H2O2 solution (0.6 mL, 40 mM). The absorbance value of the reaction mixture was recorded at 230
nm. The percent of scavenging of H2O2 was calculated by the following equation
% of scavenging = [(A control - A sample)/A blank] × 100
Where a control is the absorbance of the control reaction (containing all reagents except the test compound) and a sample is the
absorbance of the test compound. Tests were carried at in triplicate.
Antibacterial activity
A total of four bacterial strains viz. Bacillus subtilis (MTCC-1133), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC-7443), Escherichia coli
(MTCC-1668), Salmonella typhimurium (MTCC-98) were used in the investigation for antimicrobial assay. Ampicillin was used as
standard drug for antibacterial activity and Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of all compounds was determined by micro-
dilution method using serially diluted compounds. MIC of the compounds was determined by series of dilution at various
concentrations. Different concentration of the compounds (100 µg/mL, 50 µg/mL, 25 µg/mL, 12.5 µg/mL, 6.25 µg/mL, 3.12 µg/mL,
1.56 µg/mL) was serially diluted in microtiter plate. Specifically, 0.1 mL of standardized inoculums (1-2 × 107 cfu/mL) was added in
each tube of microtiter plate. The plates were incubated aerobically at 37 0C for 18-24 h. The lowest concentration (highest dilution)
of the compounds showed no visible bacterial growth no turbidity in the solution when it was compared with the control was regarded
as the MIC. Mueller-Hinton agar and Luria broth (Hi-media, Mumbai, India) was used for antibacterial activity.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Chemistry
The synthetic strategies adopted for the synthesis of the intermediate and final compounds are depicted in Scheme 1.
Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diol (2) and thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ol (2a) were prepared [9, 27] from compound 1. Compound 2 and
2a on refluxion with phosphorous oxychloride yielded 3 and 3a which on further treatment with sodium (E)-2-phenylethenesulfinate
with catalytic amount of triethylamine formed the corresponding 4 and 4a, respectively. Compounds 4 and 4a on treatment with
diethylmalonate and sodium methoxide gave the corresponding solids 5 and 5a, respectively. Further 4 on reaction with ethyl
cyanoacetate with catalytic amount of sodium methoxide at 60 0C afford ethyl 2-cyano-3-phenyl-4-(thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-
ylsulfonyl)butanoate (5b). Compounds 6 and 6a were prepared from 5 and 5a with hydrazine hydrate followed by treatment with
carbon disulphide in the presence of alcoholic potassium hydroxide yielded potassium dithiocarbazinate salts 7 and 7a, respectively.
Next 7 and 7a were transformed to the corresponding triazole derivatives 8 and 9 on treatment with hydrazine hydrate. The
condensation of 7 and 7a with 98% sulphuric acid yielded thiadiazole derivatives 10 and 11, respectively. Similarly, oxadiazole
derivatives 12 and 13 were respectively prepared by the cyclization of 7 and 7a. Finally, compound 5b on reflexion with
hydroxylamine hydrochloride yielded isoxazole derivative 14 (Scheme 1). All the reactions were monitored by TLC and the newly
synthesized compounds were purified by column chromatography. The structure elucidations of the newly synthesized compounds
were carried out by modern spectroscopic techniques like IR, 1H and
13C NMR and LC-MS spectrum.

Biological assays
Antioxidant activity
The compounds 8-14 are tested for antioxidant property by DPPH [22, 23], nitric oxide [24, 25] and H2O2 [26] methods. We
investigated all the newly synthesized compounds 8-14 were tested for antioxidant property by 1,1-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH)
(Table 1), hydrogen peroxide (Table 2) and nitric oxide (Table 3) methods. All the pharmacological data are expressed as mean ± SD,
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) was used as a positive control and measurements was run in triplicate. Among all the tested
compounds, thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ylsulfonylethylisoxazol-5-one 14 displayed excellent radical-scavenging activity in all three
methods, when compared with the standard BHT. The compounds 8 and 9 showed moderate antioxidant activity whereas the other
compounds 10-13. The compound isoxazol-5-one in combine with sulfone moiety 14 exhibited great activity which may be due to the
presence of two oxygen atoms than the compounds having thiadiazole and oxadiazole. The IC50 value of the standard BHT in DPPH
method was found to be 25.19 µg/mL where as the IC50 values of the compounds 8, 9 and 14 were found to be 27.69, 31.11 and 26.95
µg/mL, respectively. Further, the analysis of table 1, 2 and 3 indicates that radical scavenging activity in DPPH, hydrogen peroxide
and nitric oxide methods increases with increase in concentration. BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) was used as a positive control and
measurements was run in triplicate. The percentage of scavenging activity was calculated.
Antibacterial activity
All the synthesized compounds (8-14) were screened for their antibacterial activity determined by micro-dilution method
[31]. The potentiality of the synthesized compounds studied against various Gram+Ve such as Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus
aureus and Gram–Ve such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium strains of human pathogens. The result obtained as MIC is
presented in Table 4. It is more attractive to speculate the observation that the result of the antibacterial activity of the various
derivatives appeared to be related the nature of five member rings attached to thienopyrimidine moiety. It is evident from Table 4 that
two compounds viz. 8 and 14 were found more potent with either less or equal MIC as compared to control drug ampicillin. DMSO
was also taken in a control experiment which showed no effect in the experiment. The compound 8 containing [1,2,4]triazole ring
tagged sulfonyl thienopyrimidine was found potent activity against B.subtilis with MIC 3.12 µg mL–1
while the standard ampicillin
showed 6.25 µg mL–1
. Further, the compounds 14 having isoxazole ring tagged sulfonyl thienopyrimidine found potent activity
against E.coli at MIC 3.12 µg mL–1
.

CONCLUSION
The present study reports the synthesis of new class of thienopyrimidine sulfonyl mono and bis heterocycles-triazole,
thiadiazole, oxadiazole and isoxazole were prepared from the synthetically vulnerable intermediate 4-(styrylsulfonyl)thieno[3,2-
d]pyrimidine and studied their antioxidant and antibacterial activities were successfully achieved. In this study, the synthesized
compounds may be used as lead compounds for anti-bacterial and antioxidant activity and may be evaluated further towards antifungal
and anticancer activity studies.
