Abstract Pyrroles, pyrazoles, thiozoles and azoles represent molecular frame work that serve as platform for developing pharmaceutical agents for various application. We have attempted a straight forward synthesis of new heterocyclic progesterone derivatives. The structures of all synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral and analytical data which were in agreement with the assigned structures. The synthesized compounds were tested as anticancer agents and proved their activities . Treatment of progesterone (1) with 2-cyanoacetohydrazine(2) in acetic acid (2-Cyano –N-N ((E)-1-((4AS,5S)-4a-methyldecahydro-1 H–cyclobuta[e]inden-5-yl ) ethylidene ) acetohydrazide(3) (scheme 1) Scheme 1 Reaction of compound 3with mixture of malononitrile ( 4a) and sulfurorethyl cyano acetate (4b) in presence of triethylamine and DMF as solvent formed(6a)and (6b)bycyclization3,5diamino-4-cyano-methyl bicyclo[3.2]heptan-2-yl)ethylidene ) thiophene -2-carbohydrazide(6a)and 3,5 diamino-4-cyano-methyl bicyclo[3,2] heptan-2-yl)hydrazine-1-carbonyl)thiophene-3-carboxylate(6b) respectively (Scheme 2) . Scheme 2 The reactivity of compounds 3 towards the reaction with isothiocyante was studied in the aim of forming newthiazolesteroids.Thus,compound3 reacted with equimolar amount of phenylisothiocyanate, sulfur and triethylamine in presence of dioxane as solvent and the mixture path to intermediate point then convert by cyclization to compound 7 |
