Infectious diseases are influencing the world with their morbidity and
mortality, out of which tuberculosis and malaria are major infectious
diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Plasmodium falciparum
respectively, have become more virulent now a days by claiming about three
to four million lives and infecting over ten million people annually. The
current chemotherapy is based on age old drugs like Chloroquine,
Pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine for malaria and Pyrazinamide, Isoniazid and
Rifampin for tuberculosis. The efficacy of these drugs has been deteriorated
by the emerging resistant strains. More over the pathogenic synergy of HIV
to these diseases is alarming the world to develop new efficient
chemotherapy for infectious diseases.
Although the development of drug resistance motivates the pursuit of
innovation in anti-infective drug development, it does not deter the
exploration of existing and effective drug discovery tools such as
pharmacophore hybridization. Pharmacophore hybridization is believed to
be analogous to conventional combination therapy, with the exception that
the two drugs are covalently linked and available as a single entity. The
successful utilization of this approach relies, in part, on the judicious
selection of monomers.
In demonstration, as part of our drug discovery programme on novel
antiinfective agents the synthesis of an exploratory library of natural
product-like hybrids modelled on the isatins moiety was undertaken and is
reported herein this Chapter.

Pharmacophore hybridization (PH):
Pharmacophore or Molecular hybridization (PH or MH) is a new concept in drug design
and development based on the combination of pharmacophoric moieties of different
bioactive substances to produce a new hybrid compound with improved affinity and
efficacy, when compared to the parent drugs. Additionally, this strategy can result in
compounds presenting modified selectivity profile, different and/or dual modes of action
and reduced undesired side effects. So, in this chapter, we described several examples of
different strategies for drug design, discovery and pharmacomodulation focused on new
innovative hybrid compounds presenting analgesic, anti-inflammatory, platelet anti-
aggregating, anti-infectious, anticancer, cardio- and neuroactive properties.
2.1 Introduction:
Over the last decades, the registration of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of new
pathologies or that represent therapeutic innovations on known illnesses, mostly
infectious and with high social-economical impact, such as neurodegenerative diseases
and cancer, has suffered a continuous decrease, contrasting with the growing of
technological and scientific advances pursuing the improvement of the quality of life.
Reappearing diseases such as tuberculosis, hanseniasis, smallpox, schistosomiasis,
infectious diseases associated to resistant microorganisms, such as malaria, still
incurable new virus and tropical diseases, besides cancer, neurodegenerative and
autoimmune diseases, still represent a big challenge for the pharmaceutical sector and
demand a continuous effort to the development of new therapeutic tools: more efficient,
selective and economically accessible.
In this paradoxical context, the Pharmaceutical Industry has invested heavily in the
development of new techniques of diagnosis, investigation and creation of chemical
libraries with high molecular diversity, based on:
1) Combinatorial chemistry,
2) Computer-aided drug design (CADD),
3) Simulation and prediction of physicochemical and structural properties
associated to drug-receptor interactions (QSAR),
4) Automatized processes of pharmacological screening (High Throughput
Screening – HTS),
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 45
5) New methods of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological evaluation, based on the
advances of the molecular biology, genomics and biotechnological approaches [1-
3].
Recently, the natural products chemistry has been returning to a prominent position in the
prospection of bioactive compounds, justifying the new investments in research from the
Pharmaceutical sector pursuing new pharmaceuticals, especially the ones whose origin is
vegetal, marine or from microorganisms. The enormous chemical diversity of the
secondary metabolites still challenges and inspires the synthetic and medicinal
chemistry for their molecular complexity and diversity, working as role templates for the
discovery of new drugs and the planning of new synthetic and semi synthetic derivatives
[3-8].
On the other hand, the result of all this effort was not yet able of promoting the quick
access to massive quantities of new bioactive chemical entities (BioNCEs), frustrating the
expectation of high efficiency and productivity, which has not happened yet, since the
number of new registered pharmaceuticals has been decreasing significantly year after
year [4-5].
The rational planning of new synthetic prototypes has been using a series of methods of
structural modification that aim, a priori, at the generation of new compounds presenting
optimized pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties, by:
1) Exploring bioactive substances’ fragments (Fragment-Based Drug Design) [9],
2) Active metabolites of drugs [10],
3) Bioisosterism [11],
4) Selective optimization of side effects of drugs [12] and
5) Drug latentiation [13].
Pharmacophore hybridization as a tool in the planning of new ligands and
prototypes:
The pharmacophore hybridization (PH) is a strategy of rational design of new ligands or
prototypes based on the recognition of pharmacophoric sub-unities in the molecular
structure of two or more known bioactive derivatives which, through the adequate fusion
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 46
of these sub-unities, lead to the design of new hybrid architectures that maintain pre-
selected characteristics of the original templates.
Considering the use of known template substances, already evaluated concerning the
physicochemical and pharmacological features, toxicity and mechanism of action, it is
possible the generation of extensive chemical libraries, constituted by hundreds or even
thousands of homologous pharmacophore hybrids, bringing a high level of accumulated
information, e.g. structural requirements, ligand-protein interaction mode, site ligand -
receptor interactions and quantitative structure-activity relationships, which tends to
become faster and more efficient the development of new drugs [14]. On the other hand,
if the degree of template-hybrid homology is either low or inexistent, the discovery of
new lead-compounds should be made by massive screening of the generated chemical
library.
The therapeutic tools for the treatment of complex heterogeneous diseases can be very
restricted, considering that only one drug will usually not be able to control the illness in
an effective way, demanding the combination of pharmaceuticals with different
pharmacotherapeutic profiles. In this context, the therapy by medicamentous association
may be reached by the utilization of two or more pure drugs or by pharmaceuticals
presenting only one active ingredient that combined the activities of two or more drugs,
i.e. a hybrid drug [15]. Accordingly, we can describe the several examples of the
application of PH approach in the design of new ligands or prototypes belonging to
different therapeutic categories.
As Cardioactive Agents
The search for new antihypertensive agents led Breschi and co-workers to recently
develop another new class of cardioactive hybrids [16]. Until last decade, the more
efficient antihypertensive drugs were inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme
(ACE), which present some adverse effects resultant from their ability in promote
bradykinin accumulation. One alternative found for the therapeutic replacement of this
class of antihypertensive agents was the development of sartans [17], which act as
selective antagonists of angiotensin II receptors AT1, blocking the action of this
vasoconstrictor peptide through a more efficient way than the ACE inhibitors, besides the
fact that the preservation of this enzyme does not avoid the degradation of the bradykinin
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 47
[16], circumventing the undesirable side effects resulting from its accumulation.
Additionally, the use of drugs from sartan class modulates the bradykinin-dependent NO
biosynthesis, which displays remarkable vasorelaxant effect [18, 19]. According to this
panorama, Breschi and co-workers explored the structural pattern of lead-compound
losartan 1 for the design and synthesis of new hybrids 2 and 3, presenting the hydroxyl
group esterified with a NO-releasing sub-unit (Fig. 1) [16].
The hybrid compounds 2 and 3 almost complete vasorelaxant effect with an efficacy of
92 and 95%, respectively, which was strongly inhibited by 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[3,4-
a]quinoxalin-1-one, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, as expected to a vasodilator effect
dependent on the NO production [16]. Besides that, compounds 2 and 3 showed to be
AT1 receptor antagonists, and can be compared with losartan. Additional studies revealed
that the magnitude of the vasorelaxant properties of compound 2 are dependent of the
structural framework of the losartan 1 as well as of the lateral chain, besides being able
of promoting the NO liberation [16]. These results indicated an evolution on the
therapeutic application of this new class of hybrid compounds in comparison to the
sartans, since the original antihypertensive properties were assured, added to the
benefits from the NO production in the cardiovascular system.

Cardiovascular accidents, such as arterial coronary occlusion and chronic myocardial
ischemia, can be treated by the use of thrombolytic agents or percutaneous transluminal
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 48
Coronary angioplasty, which effectively re-establish the myocardial blood flow and
reduce mortality [20]. However, these therapeutic resources are not able of protecting the
heart from the damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the re-
oxygenation of the blood after the reperfusion of the ischemic myocard. It is believed that
oxygen free radicals can react with myocardial phospholipids affecting the selective
permeability of the cellular membranes and leading to a development of ventricular
arrhythmias and/or fibrillation [21]. An attractive strategy to the discovery of new
derivatives able of acting on ischemia/reperfusion-related anomalies involves the design
of bifunctional agents that present both antioxidant and antiarrhythmic properties.
Exploring the therapeutic application of this concept, Koufaki and colleagues
synthesized the pharmacophore hybrids 7-16, planned from α-tocopherol (4), lidocaine
(5) and procainamide (6), able of acting as antioxidant/antiarrhythmic bifunctional
agents [22]. In spite of α-tocopherol (4) be an efficient free radicals scavenger agent its
efficacy in therapies of emergency reperfusion is limited by its lipidic nature. The target
hybrid compounds (7-16) were designed by the combination in one only molecule of the
6-hydroxychromane ring, responsible for the antioxidant activity of 4 and the
diethylamine-carboxamide sub-unity of 5 and 6 , two class I belonging antiarrhythmic
drugs (Fig. 2) [22].
Six hybrid compounds analog to the procainamide, i.e. compounds 7-12 , and four
analogs based on the lidocaine, i.e. compounds 13-16 were synthesized, and in both
series the contribution of the R alkyl side chain was evaluated, varying from 1 to 12
carbon atoms. The evaluation of the antioxidant properties demonstrated that the
lidocaine analog 15 was the most active one, inhibiting by 72.4 % the lipid per-
oxidation in the concentration of 5 µM, followed by the compounds 7 and 10, with 95.2
% and 38.4% inhibition, respectively, in the concentration of 10 µM. These results also
reveal that the increase of the length of the side chain contributed to decrease of the anti-
oxidant activity in each series. The evaluation of the antiarrhythmic effects demonstrated
that all hybrid compounds, in concentrations of 30 and 100 µM, increased the post-
ischemic recovery without induction of ventricular fibrillation. Among the tested
compounds, the procainamide analog 40 was the one responsible for the greater decrease
concerning the premature beating. The validity of the bifunctional strategy in the therapy
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 49
of the myocardial hyperfusion injury was demonstrated by the compounds 7, 14 and 16
(Fig. 2), which showed to be strong inhibitors of lipid per-oxidation and were also
effective in inhibiting reperfusion-derived arrhythmias, when compared to the
antiarrhythmic profile of lidocaine (5) and procainamide (6). The comparison of the
results obtained for these new hybrid compounds evidenced that its antioxidant properties
did not present parallelism with the antiarrhythmic effects, as it was observed for 16,
which proved to be a less potent antioxidant agent than 15, but induced clearer
antiarrhythmic effects. Likewise, the compound 13 presented antiarrhythmic effects, but
minimum antioxidant activity [22].
Anti-tumoral Agents
In 1999, Kuduk and collaborators [23] proposed the synthesis of hybrids of the
geldanamycine (GDM, 17 ) with estradiol (18 , Fig. 3), aiming at obtaining molecules
capable of causing the specific degradation of proteins, such as ligands of estradiol
receptors (ER) and of the transaminase of the HER2 membrane, which are highly
expressed in several types of breast cancer. The appropriate intervention on these proteins
could lead to the delay of the cellular growing and/or apoptosis [24].
GDM (17) is a macrocyclic antibiotic isolated from Streptomycis hygroscopicus, which
belongs to the ansamicine class. The fusion between the structures of the estradiol (18)
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 50
and GDM (17) should lead to new hybrid ligands that maintain the activities of both
original ligands. In order to do that, a way of gathering these two structural templates in
the hybrid targets 19-22 (Fig. 3) was investigated, exploring the C-16 position of the
estradiol, whose relative stereochemistry should be α to avoid steric effects over the
pharmacoforic hydroxyl group at C-17. In relation to the GDM (17), prior studies
revealed that the methoxy attached carbon of benzoquinone system could act as Michael
acceptor when facing amines or other bionucleophilic species, supporting the structural
design that considered the connection of a spacer unit presenting a terminal primary
amino group, stereoselectively placed at C-16 of the estradiol (18), with this electrophilic
site of GDM (17) (Fig. 3) [23].
Other anti-tumoral antibiotics produced by species of Streptomyces species, such as the
pyrrolobenzodiazepine derivatives (PBDs), antramycin (23) and DC-81 (54, Fig. 4), and
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 51
the pyrrolocarbamoylic oligopeptide distamicine A (30, Fig. 5), can act as selective
ligands in minor groove of the DNA and have been used as prototypes for the design of
NCE’s.
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 52
Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory and Antithrombotic agents
Hybrid drugs have been proposed as new alternatives for the regulation of dependency
and tolerance to opioid pharmaceuticals [25]. An interesting strategy consists of the
combination, in only one molecule, of the pharmacophorical sub-unities of opioid agents
and of ligands of the subtype I2 of the imidazoline receptor (IBS), aiming at a synergic
and controlled antinociceptive effect, considering the recent evidences demonstrating
that some I2-IBS ligands can attenuate the opioid tolerance [26].
Dardonville and colleagues [25] planned the synthesis of new opioid pharmacophore
hybrids with high affinity to I2-IBS, conceived from the structures of fentanyl (38), an
opioid agent, and agmatine (39), a ligand of I2-IBS receptor. The evaluation of the
bioprofile of this series lead to the initial identification of the prototype 40 (Fig. 6), which
presented high affinity to the µ-opioid receptor, but low affinity to I2-IBS receptor [26].
Previous SAR study involving a series of aliphatic bis-guanidine alkaloids demonstrated
that the increase of the methylenic bridge between the two basic sub-unities leads to an
increase in the I2-IBS affinity [25]. The rationalization of the spacer unit size between the
fentanyl framework and the guanidine moiety (Fig. 6), anticipated an eventual
improvement of the affinity of some homologues of derivative 40 for I2-IBS, generating
the series of fentanyl-guanidine hybrids (41-43).
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 53
The binding affinity to the I2-IBS and µ-opioid receptors was comparatively evaluated for
the derivatives of the new series. The hybrid derivative 43 presenting the longer spacer
unit (n = 12) between the propanamide and guanidine moieties showed a significantly
increase in the affinity to I2-IBS receptors, compared to fentanyl and idazoxan,
confirming the correlation between selectivity and the increase in the spacer size. All new
ligands showed nanomolar affinities to µ-opioid receptor, being the compound 42
almost equipotent, while 43 showed the smaller affinities. The compound 41 (Fig. 6)
showed to be an excellent ligand of the µ-opioid receptor, with affinity comparable to the
fentanyl [25]. These results demonstrated that the incorporation of the pharmacophoric
fentanyl framework and the alkyl-guanidine unit, in the same molecule, bound by an
appropriate alkyl spacer led to a synergic effect for target receptors, I2-IBS and µ-opioid
[25].
Studies undertaken by Carlos Alberto Manssour Fraga research group led to the
identification of N-aryl-(A) and N-acylhydrazone-(B) (Fig. 7) sub-unities as important
pharmacophoric groups for the design of new analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-
thrombotic agents [27-31]. It is believed that the biological activities of these compounds
are associated to their relative acidity and to their capacity of stabilizing free radicals,
mimicking the bis-allyl fragment (C), (Fig. 7) present in some fatty acids (e.g.
arachidonic acid (44), (Fig. 7) and contributing to the inhibition of the active site of
oxidative catabolic enzymes, such as cyclooxygenases (COX) and 5-lipoxigenase (5-
LO), responsible for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes
[27, 28]. The synthesis of new chemical entities presenting different structural patterns
and including acyl- and aryl-hydrazone pharmacophoric sub-unities led to the discovery
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 54
of several new prototypes, which have been utilized in the development of drug
candidates acting over enzymes involved in the modulation of the biosynthesis of
arachidonic acid (44) cascade metabolites [32].
The nitropyrazolyl-hydrazone derivative (45) was designed as a hybrid isoster of BW-
755c (46) and CBS-1108 (47), two dual inhibitors of COX and 5-LO. Structural
simplification of 45 generated a new series of N-phenylpyrazole-4-acylhydrazone
prototypes (48-49, Fig. 8), amongst which the derivative 49 demonstrated analgesic
activity 11.0 and 1.2 times superior to dipyrone (51), in acetylcholine and acetic acid
induced abdominal contortions assays, respectively. It is interesting to highlight that the
compounds 45, 46 and 48-50 are structurally related to dipyrone (51) [29].
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 55
More recently, Carlos Alberto Manssour Fraga research group described another
successful example of application of the pharmacophore hybridization as a tool in the
designing of new modified N-acylhydrazone prototypes with powerful analgesic
properties [33]. In this work, Bezerra-Netto and colleagues related a new series of
nitrophenoxyacetylhydrazone derivatives 65-72 (Fig. 9) planned through the
pharmacophore hybridization of a previously described safrole-derived phenylpropionic
N-acylhydrazone series 62-64 [33] with nimesulide (61), an anti-inflammatory drug that
present selective COX-2 inhibition properties and radical scavenger behavior [34]. In this
context, the nitro group of 61 was introduced at C-6 position of the 1,3-benzodioxole
ring of 62-64 (Fig. 9) in order to investigate its internal ‘catalytic’ effect in the formation
of free radicals on the N-acylhydrazone moiety, intending to improve the radical
scavenger profile in these new compounds, aiming the optimization of its
pharmacological profile through the selective modulation of its redox properties. The
evaluation of the antinociceptive properties of this series led us to discover two new
potent prototypes of analgesic and antipyretic agents, represented by the N-
acylhydrazone derivatives 65 and 67, which showed to be more potent than dipyrone
used as standard for both investigated activities [33,35].
Anti-infectious Agents
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 56
After some years of lack of concern, the pharmaceutical industries have been showing
some interest again for the development of new anti-infectious agents. This strategic
change can be quantified by the great investments in research that culminated in more
than 50 new antibacterial drugs recently approved in the USA. Besides that, the
appearing of new diseases and the growing consumer market in countries of young
population has caused the recovery of research on anti-infectious agents, as well as
cancer, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases and neuropathies [36]. Currently, one
of the biggest challenges in the anti-infectious therapy, especially the bacterial and
parasitary ones is the speed in which the microorganisms (MOs) suffer genetic mutations,
modifying their defense system and generating new resistant strains to the drugs
clinically used. Moreover, bacterial infections are responsible for multiple complications
in immune-suppressed patients with chronic diseases, cancer, transplanted and AIDS
(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) [36].
In this context, pharmaceutical companies have concluded that the best way to fight
against bacterial infections would be through new therapeutic targets and that, in the
case of a crisis in public health because of the development of multi-resistant bacteria,
the regulation agencies, such as Food & Drug Administration (FDA), should be faster
in the approval of new drugs,

Contributing to the decrease of the development costs. The intensification of the efforts in
expanding the therapeutic arsenal has led many pharmaceutical industries to the
improvement of known chemotherapeutic classes such as penicillins, tetracyclines,
cyclosporines and glycopeptides, as well as the discovery of completely novel classes
such as the oxazolidinones. Another strategy adopted has been the investigation of new
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 57
mechanisms of action on the metabolism and proliferation of MOs, since the antibacterial
agents currently in use act interfering in the protein biosynthesis, in DNA or in the
structure of the cellular wall [36].
In this scenario, in which the search for new therapeutic classes has become urgent and
continuous, demanding innovation, agility in the development and great sums of
investment from the industries and research centers, the pharmacophore hybridization can
be an important tool in the conception of new molecular patterns able of generating new
efficient and selective anti-infectious drugs.
This strategy was utilized by Oh and co-workers [37] in the development of new lipid-
peptide hybrid compounds (73) planned from natural peptides and fatty acids (Fig. 11).
The obtained results with this class of derivatives were not conclusive, indicating only
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 58
that the introduction of long chains from fatty acids led to the loss of antibacterial
activity, when these chains did not present a NH2 terminal substituent [37].
In another work, Zhi and colleagues [38] explored the skeleton of 3-substituted 6-
anilinouracils, such as HB-EMAU (74), for the design of inhibitors of DNA-polymerase
IIIC in gram-positive bacteria. HB-EMAU was later hybridized with a series of
fluoroquinolones (FQs) with recognized activity against gram positive bacteria, including
norfloxacin (75), ciprofloxacin (76), sparfloxacin (77) and temafloxacin (78) (Fig. 11),
generating the new hybrid molecules AU-FQ (74-A).
In this family, with 18 new hybrids containing a fluoroquinolone sub-unity as substituent
in the N-3 position, all the synthesized compounds showed to be potent inhibitors of
polymerase IIIC (pol IIIC) of Bacillus subtilis. The hybrids AU-FQ also showed
significant values of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC= 0.16-1.25 µg/mL) after
screening against naive and resistant strains of S. aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and E.
Faecium [38]. Hybrid AU-FQ derivatives (Fig. 11) were ca. 2-4 times more potent than
the prototype 74, but less potent than the fluoroquinolone derivatives 75-78. In vivo
essays evaluating S. aureus-infected mice lethally demonstrated the complete protective
effect of the hybrids AU-FQ (74-A) in sub-toxic doses. Particularly the compound 81
also demonstrated the ability to face other gram-positive strains, motivating its selection
for further complementary studies [38,39].
Tropical diseases viz. tuberculosis and malaria also represent an important challenge
under the public health point of view, since, generally, they are endemic pathologies of
either poor or developing countries, which are consequently neglected by the global
pharmaceutical companies. Among these, Chagas’ disease affects about 17 million
people worldwide and it is caused by the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi
[39]. In 1968, Berkelhammer and Asato [40] synthesized a 5-nitroimidazole derivative
named megazol (84, Fig. 12) as an antimicrobial agent, which was later characterized by
the Brener group [41] as a potent trypanocide agent (IC50 = 9.9 µM), despite present
important toxicity [42]. Based on these data, Carvalho and co-workers [43] synthesized
two series of hybrids 86 and 87 designed through pharmacophore hybridization of the
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 59
prototype megazol (84) and the guanylhydrazone derivative 86, which also presented
trypanocide activity [44].
The hybrid compound 86 showed to be the most active trypanocide (IC50 = 5.3 µM) of
the two hydrazone series. The simplified analogue 87 (Fig. 12) did not present significant
activity (IC50 = 63.4 µM), demonstrating the pharmacophoric contribution of the
nitroimidazole group in the mechanism of action against the T. cruzi [43].

2.2 Present Work
Drug discovery and development is a very laborious and costly process involving
synthesis and screening of diverse organic compounds. In this regard, multicomponent
reactions (MCRs) are of increasing importance in the field of medicinal chemistry.
Currently, attention is put on speed, diversity, and efficiency in the drug discovery
process. MCRs can provide products with the diversity needed for the discovery of new
lead compounds or lead optimization employing combinatorial chemistry techniques. The
search and discovery for new MCRs on one hand, and the full exploitation of already
known MCRs on the other hand, are therefore of considerable current interest. The scope
of this reaction was gradually extended by the variation of all three building blocks,
allowing access to a large number of multi-functionalized di or tetrahydropyrimidines of
medicinal use.
Di- or tetra-hydropyrimidines showed a diverse range of biological activities. They are
known to possess activities such as antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, analgesic and anti-
inflammatory as well as efficacy as calcium channel modulators and α1a-antagonists.
Furthermore, certain compounds bearing 1H-indole-2,3-dione nucleus is used as a
versatile lead molecule for designing potential antiviral, antitubercular, anticonvulsant
and anti-tumor therapeutic activities. While, imine bases of isatin (indoline-2,3-dione)
and its derivatives were reported for antibacterial, antifungal, anti-HIV, anticonvulsant
activities and GAL3 receptor antagonists.
Prompted by the biological properties of dihydropyrimidines and 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-
2-ones nucleus, they were incorporated in one single molecule using principle of
pharmacophore hybridization and schiff bases were synthesized. This type of effort, in
the design of new drug entity, i.e. the development of hybrid molecules through the
combination of different pharmacophores in one frame may lead to compounds with
interesting dual biological profiles, which is being reflected in present work.
Thus, this section deals with design, synthesis of Tetrahydropyrimidine–isatin hybridized
derivatives and In-vitro evaluation of Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antitubercular and
Antimalarial activities.

Dihydropyrimidin-2-one (DHPM)
In 1893, Pietro Biginelli has reported on the acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation reaction of
ethylacetoacetate, benzaldehyde and urea. The reaction was carried out by simply heating
a mixture of the three components dissolved in ethanol with a catalytic amount of Cons.
HCl at reflux temperature. The product of this novel one-pot, three-component synthesis
that precipitated on cooling the reaction mixture was identified correctly by Biginelli as
dihydropyrimidin-2-one (DHPM) [45a]. The scope of this reaction was gradually
extended by the variation of all three building blocks, allowing access to a large number
of multi-functionalized dihydropyrimidines of medicinal use [45b, 46-49].

Two different approaches have been employed in recent years to synthesize DHPM
derivatives. The first method relies on the traditional Biginelli three component protocol
and involves the acid catalyzed cyclocondensation of a β-carbonyl component, with an
aromatic aldehyde and urea or thiourea derivative (Fig. 13). A major drawback of the
original Biginelli protocols, using ethanol and catalytic HCl as reaction medium, has been
the low yields that were frequently encountered when using sterically more demanding
aldehydes or thioureas [50]. In recent years, these problems have been largely overcome
by the development of improved and more robust reaction conditions, involving e.g.
Lewis acid catalyst as well as protic acid under classical reflux [51]. Other studies have
focused on the use of ionic liquids [52], microwave irradiation [53], combinatorial
techniques [54], use of boron compounds [55], TMSCl [56] and heterogeneous catalysts
viz. as tangstophosphoric acid [57], zeolite [58], montmorillonite [59], ion-exchange
resins [60], and the also use of silica sulfuric acid [61], PPE [62], L-proline [63] etc.
These, Di or tetrahydropyrimidines show a diverse range of biological activities. They are
known to possess activities such as antiviral [64], anticancer [65], antibacterial [66],
analgesic and antiinflammatory [66], antioxidant [67], HIV-1 replication [68], as well as
efficacy as calcium channel modulators and α1a-antagonists [64] (Fig. 14). Thus
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 63
development of methodologies for efficient lead structure identification and for
pharmacophore variation of dihydropyrimidines motif has always attracted the attention
of pharmaceutical industry [69].
Furthermore, certain compounds bearing 1H-indole-2,3-dione nucleus is used as a
versatile lead molecule for designing potential antivirals [70], antimalarial [71],
antituberculars [72], anticonvulsants [73], progesterone receptor modulators [74] and
anti-tumor therapeutic activities [75]. While, Schiff bases of 1H-indole-2,3-dione and its
derivatives were reported for antibacterial [76], antifungal [76], anti-HIV [77],
anticonvulsant activities [78], anti-poxvirus agents [78] and GAL3 receptor antagonists
[79] (Fig. 15). Prompted by the biological properties of dihydropyrimidines and 1H-
indole-2,3-dione nucleus, they were incorporated with oxadiazole/thiadiazoles [80] and
Schiff bases were synthesized.
Thus, using the principle of pharmcophore hybridization, we have design of
hybrid molecules “5-substituted-2-({5-(6-methyl-2-oxo/thioxo-4-(phenyl/furan-2-yl)-
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro pyrimidin-5-yl)-(1,3,4-thiadiazol/1,3,4-oxadiazol)-2-yl}imino)-1,2-
dihydro-3H indol-3-ones, by combining tetrahydropyrimidinones nucleus with 1H-
indole-2,3-dione in one frame, which may lead to compounds with interesting dual

biological profiles. The results of such studies are discussed in this Chapter and synthetic
pathway leading to the title compounds 5a-l, 6a-l and 7a-l is given in Scheme 1.
In first step, we report an efficient, practical, environmentally benign and high yielding
method for Biginelli’s three component, one–pot synthesis of tetrahydropyrimidinones
using CaCl2 [81] as catalyst for preparation of basic pharmacophores (Fig. 16). And
thereafter, via heterocyclization and condensation reactions respectively, the desired
products are obtained as follows (Scheme 1).

2.4 Biological Evolution
1) Antibacterial Activity:
Man is closely influenced by the activities if microorganisms. Microorganisms are a part
of our lives in more ways than most of us understand. They have shaped our present
environment and their activities will greatly influence our future. Microorganisms should
not be considered separate from human beings, but profound beneficial influence as a
part of our life. They are employed in the manufacture of dairy products, certain foods,
min processing of certain medicines and therapeutic agents, in manufacture of certain
chemicals and in numerous other ways.
Despite the established useful functions and potentially valuable activities of
microorganism, these microscopic dorms of life may be best known as agents of food
spoilage and causal agents of human beings viz. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS), Herpes, Legionnaires disease, Influenza, Jaundice, Tuberculosis, Typhoid,
Dermatomycoses, Dysentery, Malaria etc.... in human being. Animals (infected with
Brucellosis, Tularemia etc...) and Plants (infected with Mildews, Rusts, Smuts, Cankers,
Leaf spots, etc...) have also been known to be victims of microbial pathogens. So far as is
known, all primitive and civilized societies have experienced diseases caused by
Microbes, frequently with disastrous results. Moreover, microorganisms have played
profound roles in warfare, religion and the migration of populations.
Control of microbial population is necessary to prevent transmission of disease, infection,
decomposition; contamination and spoilage caused by them, man’s personal comforts and
convenience depend to a large extent on the control of microbial population.
In 1928, a german scientist C. E. Chrenberg first used the term “Bacterium” to denote
small Microscopic organism with a relatively simple and primitive form of the cellular
organization known as “Prokaryotic”.
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 94
Danish physician, gram in peculiarity, bacteria are generally unicellular e.g. Cocci,
Bacilli, etc… filamentous, eg. Actinomycetes, some being sheathed having certain cells
specialized for reproduction. The microorganisms are capable of producing diseases in
host are known as ‘Pathogenic’. Most of the microorganisms present on the skin and
mucous membrane are non pathogenic and are often referred to as “Commensals” or if
they live on food residues as in intestine, they may be called “Saprophytes”. Generally,
the pathogenic Cocci and Bacilli are gram positive and the pathogenic Coco Bacilli are
gram negative.
2) Antifungal Activity
It has been estimated that the life expectancy of humans has increased by atleast 10 years
since the discovery of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of microbial infections. A
consequence of our success with antimicrobial agents and improved medical care is the
number of fungal infections.
The incidence of fungal infections has increased dramatically in the past 20 years partly
because of the increase in the number of people whose immune systems are compromised
by wither AIDS, aging, organ transplantation or cancer therapy. Accordingly, the
increase in rates of morbidity and mortality because of fungal infections has been now
recognized as a major problem. In response to the increased incidence of fungal
infections, the pharmaceutical industry has developed a number of newer less toxic
antifungal for clinical use. The increased use of antifungal, often for prolonged periods,
has lead to recognition of the phenomenon of acquired antifungal resistance to one or
more of the available antifungal.
Fungi are non photosynthetic eukaryotes growing either as colonies of single cells
(yeasts) or as filamentous multi-cellular aggregate (molds). Most fungi live as saprophytes
in soil or on dead plant material and are important in the mineralization of organic matter.
A smaller number produce disease in human and animals. The in vitro methods used for
detections of antifungal potency are similar to those used in antibacterial screening. As
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 95
with bacteria, it is easy to discover several synthetic and natural compounds that, in small
quantity, can retard or prevent growth of fungi in culture media.
� Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC)
1. Serial dilutions were prepared in primary and secondary screening.
2. The control tube containing no antibiotic is immediately sub cultured [before
inoculation] by spreading a loopful evenly over a quarter of plate of medium suitable
for the growth of the test organism and put for incubation at 37 oC OVERNIGHT.
The tubes are then incubated overnight.
3. The MIC of the control organism is read to check the accuracy of the drug
concentrations.
4. The lowest concentration inhibiting growth of the organism is recorded as the MIC.
5. The amount of growth from the control tube before incubation (which represents the
original inoculums) is compared.
� Methods Used For Primary And Secondary Screening
Each synthesized drug was diluted obtaining 2000 µg/ml concentration, as a stock
solution.
Primary screen:
In primary screening 1000 µg/ml, 500 µg/ml and 250 µg/ml concentrations of the
synthesized drugs were taken. The active synthesized drugs found in this primary
screening were further tested in a second set of dilution against all microorganisms.
Secondary screen:
The drugs found active in primary screening were similarly diluted to obtain 200 µg/ml
100 µg/ml, 50 µg/ml, 25 µg/ml, 12.5 µg/ml, 6.250 µg/ml, and concentrations.
Reading Result:
The highest dilution showing at least 99 % inhibition zone is taken as MIC. The result of
this is much affected by the size of the inoculums. The test mixture should contain 108
organism/ml.
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 96
The MICs of synthesized compounds were carried out by broth microdilution method as
described by Rattan [85]. Antibacterial activity was screened against E. Coli (MTCC-
443), P. Aeruginosa (MTCC-1688), Kl. Pneumoniae (MTCC-109), S. Typhi (MTCC-98),
S. Aureus (MTCC-96), S. Pyogenus (MTCC-442) and B. Subtilis (MTCC-441).
Gentamycin, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin was used as a
standard antibacterial agent. Antifungal activity was screened against three fungal species
C. Albicans (MTCC 227), A. Niger (MTCC 282) and A. Clavatus (MTCC 1323).
Nystatin and Griseofulvin was used as a standard antifungal agent. The antimicrobial
screening data are shown in Table 1 & 2.
All MTCC cultures were collected from Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh
and tested against known drugs. Mueller–Hinton broth was used as nutrient medium to
grow and dilute the drug suspension for the test. Inoculums size for test strain was
adjusted to 108 CFU (Colony Forming Unit) per millilitre by comparing the turbidity.
DMSO was used as diluents to get desired concentration of drugs to test upon standard
bacterial strains.

3) Antitubercular Activity
Hansen (1868) discovered the first member (lepra bacilli), Robert Koch (1882) isolated
mammalian tubercle bacilli and Johne (1895) described Mycoparatuberculosis (Johne’s
bacillu). Mycobacteria are slender bacilli and sometimes exhibit filamentous forms
resembling fungal mycelium (from Greek, Myces meaning fungus) and hence they are so
named. They are difficult to stain by ordinary stains because of the presence of waxy
materials in their cell walls. Although they are gram positive, they stain poorly, if at all,
by gram’s technique. They are better stained by hot carbol fuchsin, and once stained; they
resist decolourisation by dilute minerals acids and are, therefore, referred to as Acid Fast
Bacilli or AFB. These organisms are non motile, non capsulated, non-sporing and mostly
very slow growing. The genus includes obligate parasites pathogenic to man, mammals;
birds and reptiles, opportunistic pathogens and saprophytic varieties.
M. tuberculosis is non-motile, non-sporing and non-capsulated bacilli, arranged singly or
in groups. They are acid-fast due to the presence of mycolic acid in cell-wall and weakly
Gram positive. With Ziehl-Neelsen stain, M. tuberculosis look slender, straight or slightly
curved rod with beaded or barred appearance and M.bovis appear straighter, stouter and
shorter with uniform staining. Tubercle bacilli are aerobes, grow slowly (generation time
14-15 hours), optimum temperature 37 oC, pH 6.4-7.0. They grow only in specially
enriched media containing egg, asparagines, potatoes, serum and meat extracts. Colonies
appear in 2-6 weeks. M. tuberculosis grows more luxuriantly in culture (eugenic) than M.
bovis which grows sparsely (dysgenic).
The drug susceptibility test may be performed by either the direct or the indirect method.
The direct drug susceptibility test is performed by using a subculture from a primary
culture as the inoculums.
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION

Methods used for primary and secondary screening:
Each synthesized drug was diluted obtaining 2000 microgram /ml concentration, as a
stock solution.
Primary screen:
In primary screening 500 µg/ml, 250 µg/ml, and 125 µg/ml concentrations of the
synthesized drugs were taken. The active synthesized drugs found in this primary
screening were further tested in a second set of dilution against all microorganisms.
Secondary screen:
The drugs found active in primary screening were similarly diluted to obtain 100 µg/ml,
50 µg/ml, 25 µg/ml, 12.5 µg/ml, 6.250 µg/ml, 3.125 µg/ml and 1.5625 µg/ml
concentrations.
Reading Result:
The highest dilution showing at least 99 % inhibition is taken as MIC.The result of this is
much affected by the size of the inoculums. The test mixture should contain 108
organism/ml (CFU).
The Standard Drugs:
The Standard strain M. Tuberculosis H37RV is tested with each new batch of medium.
The recommended drug concentrations are 4 mg/l for Streptomycin, 0.2 mg/l for
Isoniazid, 40 mg/l for Rifampicin and 2 mg/ l for Ethambutol.
Antituberculosis activity against M. tuberculosis H37RV of synthesized compound is
mentioned in Table 3.
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION
Page 101
4) Antimalarial Activity All the synthesized compounds were screened for antimalarial activity in the
Microcare laboratory & TRC, Surat (Gujarat) India. The in vitro antimalarial assay was
carried out against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 chloroquine-sensitive strain in 96 well
microtitre plates according to the microassay protocol of Rieckmann and co-workers with
minor modifications [86, 87]. The test concentration which inhibited the complete
maturation into schizonts was recorded as the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC).
Chloroquine was used as the reference drug. Observations of the in vitro antimalarial
screening are presented in the Table 4.

2.5 Result & Discussion
For compounds 5a-l:
The literature survey revealed that introduction of electron-withdrawing groups at
positions 5, 6, and 7 greatly increased activity from that of 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one,
with substitution at the 5th position being most favorable. This is not surprising, as C-5
substitution has previously been associated with increased biological activity for a range
of indole-based compounds [88, 89] and the presence of substituted aromatic ring at 3rd
position has been reported to be associated with antimicrobial properties [90, 91]. The
various substituent at 3rd position of the isatin which were reported, are various
substituted phenyl ring moieties [92, 93] heterocyclic rings [94-96] and aliphatic system
[97]. These observations led to the conception that a series of some different novel Schiff
bases of 5-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-6-methyl-4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-
one/thione using different 5-substituted indoline-2,3-diones
From in-vitro antibacterial activity data, it is confirmed that compounds containing strong
electron withdrawing (fluorine group) i.e. 5d & 5j exhibited excellent activity against all
microbial strains, while compounds 5b & 5h exhibited comparable activity against gram
positive strains, while compound 5c & 5i are found to be highly active against gram
negative strains as compared to standard antibiotic ampicillin.
From in-vitro antifungal activity data, It is found that compound 5d & 5f is displaying
highest activity against all fungal strains, while compounds 5c & 5i are showing
somewhat less activity compare to compounds 5d & 5i. But overall, all the compounds

have displayed significant antibacterial and antifungal activity. In general, the order of
antibacterial activity of the substituents at the 5th position of 1H-indole-2,3-dione is
F>NO2>Br>Cl>H=I and also due to presence of sulphur atom at position–2 in the
compounds 5a-5f is responsible for better activity compared to oxygen atom (at position–
2) in compounds 5g-5l. The in-vitro antibacterial and antifungal screening results are
summarized in Table 1 & 2.
The encouraging results from the antibacterial and antifungal studies impelled us to go
for preliminary screening of synthesized compounds against M .tuberculosis, which is
summarized in Table 3. Compound 5j containing 5-flouro substituent on indolone ring
with oxygen atom on tetrahydropyrimidine nucleus showed better activity (50 µg/ml) and
compounds 5c, 5f and 5j showed good activity (50-62.5 µg/ml) which is attributed due to
5- nitro, 5-chloro substituents of 2-thioxo-tetrahydropyrimidine indolone nucleus and 5-
nitro substituents of 2-oxo-tetrahydropyrimidine indolone nucleus respectively, where as
compound 5d which is having inductively electron withdrawing but mesomerically
electron releasing sulphur atom with 5-flouro substituent on indolone ring showed better
activity (25 µg/ml) compared to other analogs.
For compound 6a-l:
From in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity data, It is confirmed that compounds
6b, 6e, 6j & 6l exhibited excellent activity against all tested microbial and fungal strains,
while compounds 6d & 6h displayed comparable activity against gram-positive strains,
while compounds 6e & 6k are found to be moderate active against gram-negative as
compared to standard antibiotics. The encouraging results from the antibacterial and
antifungal studies impelled us to go for preliminary screening of synthesized compounds
against M. tuberculosis H37RV, which is summarized in Table 3. In vitro
antituberculostic activity of all the newly synthesized compounds against Mycobacterium
tuberculosis H37RV strain was determined by using Lowenstein-Jensen medium
(conventional method). Majority of the compounds displayed moderate to good while
compounds 6f, 6l gives best activity against M. tuberculosis H37RV.
CHAPTER: 2 PHARMACOPHORE HYBRIDIZATION

For compound 7a-l:
The synthesized compound 7a-l were also evaluated in vitro for antimalarial assay
against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 chloroquine-sensitive strain (Microcare laboratory
& TRC, Surat, Gujarat, India), in 96 well microtitre plates according to the microassay
protocol of Rieckmann and co-workers with minor modifications [98-101]. The test
concentration which inhibited the complete maturation into schizonts was recorded as the
minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Chloroquine was used as the reference drug.
Observations of the in vitro antimalarial screening are presented in the Table 4. The
compounds 7a, 7b, 7d, 7e, 7j and 7k has no effect on antimalarial activity (MIC = 10
µg/mL) while compounds 7c, 7b, 7g, 7i, 7j & 7l has remarkable improvement in
antimalarial potency with MIC value in the range of 0.035-5.0 µg/mL. Presence of nitro
(7c, MIC=0.177 µg/mL) and presence of chloro (7l, MIC=0.035 µg/mL) displayed
excellent antimalarial potency. Overall, among the various substitution, the order of
highest antimalarial potency is NO2>F>Br>H. It is well known from the literature that the
presence of these groups imparts a variety of properties including steric, electronic
properties, enhanced binding interactions, metabolic stability, changes in physical
properties and selective reactivities [102, 103]. This promising antitubercular and
antimalarial activity may be due to sufficient hydrogen bonding capacity with desired
lipophilicity or with favorable stearic hindrance [104].
In Conclution, Tetrahydropyrimidinyl-1,3,4-(thia/oxa)diazolylimino-1,3-dihydro-2H-
indol-2-ones derivatives 5a-l; 6a-l; 7a-l were synthesized and characterized for their
structure elucidation. Various chemical and spectral data supported the structures of
newly synthesized compounds. The Biginelli’s reaction for preparation of
tetrahydropyrimidinones derivatives 1a-b, was efficiently carried out using CaCl2 as
catalyst. Some Compounds showed significant Antibacterial and Antifungal activity.
While some the compound displayed promising Antitubercular and Antimalarial activity
compared to standards. Thus, present library model can be used to design the new ligand
of this class for their Antimicrobial, Antitubercular and Antimalarial activities.
