Abstract

:
Dipolar cycloaddition of the N-substituted C-(diethoxyphosphonyl)nitrones with N3-allyl-N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-diones produced mixtures of diastereoisomeric 3-(diethoxyphosphonyl)isoxazolidines with a N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-dione unit at C5. The obtained compounds were assessed for antiviral and antibacterial activities. Several compounds showed moderate inhibitory activities against VZV with EC50 values in the range of 12.63–58.48 µM. A mixture of isoxazolidines cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94) was found to be the most active against B. cereus PCM 1948, showing an MIC value 0.625 mg/mL, and also was not mutagenic up to this concentration.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Quinazoline-2,4-diones belong to an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with a wide spectrum of biological activities, including anticancer [1,2,3,4,5], antihypertensive [6], hypoglycemic [7] and anticonvulsant [8] activities, among others. Considerable attention has been focused on studies of antimicrobial and antiviral activities of 1,3-substituted quinazoline-2,4-diones, as some of them have promising biological activity (Figure 1). For example, N1-methylquinazoline-2,4-diones 1a–e exhibited high antibacterial properties toward MRSA and B. subtilis and were slightly active against S. aureus [9], whereas compounds 2a–b appeared to be suitable gyrase inhibitors that are active toward multidrug-resistance Gram-positive bacterial strains [10]. On the other hand, substituted quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives 3a–d displayed potent inhibitory activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (EC50 = 0.7–2.2 µM) [11], while compound 4 showed antiviral activity against HIV-1 and inhibited the recombinant RT in vitro [12], and N1-propargylquinazoline-2,4-dione 5 proved to be active towards adenovirus-2 (EC50 = 8.3 µM) [13].
Compounds with promising antiviral activity have been found as nucleoside and nucleotide analogues (Figure 2). For instance, 1,2,3-triazoles 6a–b [13] and their phosphonylated analogues 7–8 [1,14] functionalized with quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety, both designed as acyclic nucleoside analogues, appeared to be active against herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) (EC50 values in the range of 2.9–17 µM, 4–11 µM towards HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively) [1,13,14]. Additionally, compound 6a inhibited the replication of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) at EC50 = 6.8–8.2, while derivatives 7 and 8 were also active toward feline herpes viruses (EC50 = 4, 24 µM for 7 and 8, respectively) [1,13,14]. Quinazoline-2,4-dione-containing nucleosides 9a–b showed antiviral activity against influenza virus (H1N1) (IC50 = 30–42 µM) [15].
In the vast majority of natural pyrimidine nucleosides, e.g., uridine and 2′-deoxythymidine and their synthetic analogues, furanose ring or its mimetic is linked to the N1 of a pyrimidine moiety; however, analogues with nucleobase attached to sugar via the N3 atom of pyrimidine have been also obtained. Among them, nucleotide analogues 10 and 11 (Figure 3) show even higher antiviral activity than the respective N1-isomeric nucleotides [16,17].
Recently, we achieved the synthesis of isoxazolidine nucleotide analogues 12a–c with functionalized quinazoline-2,4-dione as a nucleobase replacer, and their promising anti-varicella-zoster virus (VZV) activity has been recognized (EC50 = 3.0–5.1 µM) [18]. Based on the observed biological properties of various quinazoline-2,4-dione derivatives, such as 12, and in continuation of our studies on isoxazolidine analogues of nucleosides, a new series of compounds of the general formula 13 with quinazoline-2,4-dione linked via the N3 atom to the isoxazolidine moiety was synthesized to evaluate the biological activity. The route to construct the designed compound 13 relies on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-substituted C-(diethoxyphosphonyl)nitrones 14–15 [19] with selected N3-allylated quinazoline-2,4-dione 16 functionalized at N3 with the respective benzyl group (Scheme 1).

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Chemistry

The respective N3-allyl-N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-diones 24a–d were synthesized from the commercially available isatoic anhydride 25 (Scheme 2). Benzylation of 25 with the selected benzyl bromide [20], followed by the reaction of the resulted compounds 26a–d with urea, led to the formation of the respective N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-diones 27a–d. Subsequent allylation of derivatives 27a–d with allyl bromide produced compounds 24a–d.
The 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of the respective nitrone 22 (R = Me) or 23 (R = Bn) with the selected N3-allyl-N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-diones 24a–d were carried out at 60 °C in toluene. In all cases, the regiospecific formation of the diastereoisomeric mixtures of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazolidines trans-20 and cis-20 or trans-21 and cis-21 was observed, with the trans-isomer predominating (Scheme 3, Table 1). In the case of isoxazolidines 20a and 20c as well as 21a–d trans/cis ratios, diastereoisomers were determined based on analyses of 31P NMR spectra of crude products, since two well-separated signals were observed. For diastereoisomeric pairs of isoxazolidines 20b and 20d, trans/cis ratios were calculated from 1H NMR spectra of crude reaction mixtures by comparison of diagnostic resonances of CH3–N protons in the isoxazolidine ring. The diastereoselectivity values (d.e.) ranged from 70 to 84%. The mixtures of the respective cycloadducts were subjected to purification on silica gel columns; however, attempts to isolate pure diastereoisomers were fruitless and, in each case, only mixtures of diastereoisomers isoxazolidines trans-20 and cis-20 or trans-21 and cis-21 were isolated.
The relative configurations of the isoxazolidine cycloadducts trans-20 and cis-20 or trans-21 and cis-21 were established by taking in account our previous studies on the stereochemistry of cycloaddition of N-substituted C-diethyoxyphosphonylated nitrones 22 and 23 with allylated derivatives of various (hetero)aromatic compounds [21,22], including N3-substituted N1-allylquinazoline-2,4-diones [18]. Since modification of the substituents in quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety, including the relocation of substituents at N1 and N3, has no influence on the stereochemical outcome of the cycloaddition of nitrones 22 and 23 to N-allylquinazoline-2,4-dione dipolarophiles, configurations of all major isoxazolidines 20 and 21 were assigned trans, while minor isomers were assigned cis, by analogy to previously established configurations of trans- and cis-isoxazolidines 12a–c [18].

2.2. Antiviral and Antimicrobial Evaluation

2.2.1. Antiviral Activity

All synthesized alkenes 24a–d and the respective diastereoisomeric mixtures of isoxazolidines cis-20a/trans-20a (10:90), cis-20b/trans-20b (8:92), cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94), cis-20d/trans-20d (10:90), cis-21a/trans-21a (10:90), cis-21b/trans-21b (15:85), cis-21c/trans-21c (10:90), and cis-21d/trans-21d (15:85) were tested for inhibitory activity of a wide variety of DNA and RNA viruses, using the following cell-based assays: (a) human embryonic lung (HEL) cells: herpes simplex virus-1 (KOS), herpes simplex virus-2 (G), herpes simplex virus-1 (TK KOS ACVr), cytomegalovirus (AD-169 strain, Davis strain), varicella-zoster virus (TK+ VZV OKA strain and TK VZV 07-1 strain), vaccinia virus, adenovirus-2, human coronavirus (229E); (b) HeLa cell cultures: vesicular stomatitis virus, Coxsackie virus B4, respiratory syncytial virus; (c) Vero cell cultures: para-influenza-3 virus, reovirus-1, Sindbis virus, Coxsackie virus B4, Punta Toro virus, yellow fever virus; and (d) Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell cultures: influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2 types), influenza B virus. Ganciclovir, cidofovir, acyclovir, brivudin, zalcitabine, alovudine, UDA, ribavirin, dextran sulfate (molecular weight 10000, DS.-10000), mycophenolic acid, zanamivir, amantadine, and rimantadine were used as the reference compounds. The antiviral activity was expressed as the EC50: the effective concentration required to reduce virus plaque formation (VZV, HCMV) by 50% or to reduce virus-induced cytopathogenicity by 50% (other viruses).
The synthesized compounds only showed some antiviral activity toward varicella-zoster virus, including both TK+ and TK VZV strains (Table 2). Among the series of tested compounds, isoxazolidines cis-20a–d/trans-20a–d and 21a–d/trans-21a–d showed higher inhibitory activity against VZV than the respective alkenes 24a–d. Isoxazolidiens cis-21b/trans-21b (15:85) and cis-21a/trans-21a (10:90) exhibited the highest activity against TK+ VZV OKA strain (EC50 = 12.63 µM and EC50 = 14.5 µM, respectively); however, this antiviral activity was lower than that of reference drug acyclovir. Moreover, preliminary structure–activity relationship observations revealed the slightly higher activity of compounds with benzyl group at nitrogen in the isoxazolidine ring in comparison to their N-methyl analogues (cis-21/trans-21 vs. analogous cis-20/trans-20).

2.2.2. Antimicrobial Activity

Due to the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, new compounds with antibacterial properties are being searched as alternatives to antibiotics. For this reason, the biological screening was expanded to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of alkenes 24a–d and diastereoisomeric mixtures of isoxazolidines (cis-20a/trans-20a (10:90), cis-20b/trans-20b (8:92), cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94), cis-20d/trans-20d (10:90), cis-21a/trans-21a (10:90), cis-21b/trans-21b (15:85), cis-21c/trans-21c (10:90), and cis-21d/trans-21d (15:85)) towards selected bacterial strains (E. faecalis ATCC 29212, S. aureus ATCC 2593, B. cereus PCM 1948, E. coli ATCC 25922, and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853) and two fungal strains (C. albicans ATCC 10241 and A. brasiliensis ATCC 16404). Previous studies have shown that compounds containing a substituted quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety exhibit promising activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi [9,23,24,25]. The antimicrobial activity was expressed as the MIC, minimal inhibitory concentrations, and the MBC, minimal bactericidal concentrations. Among all tested isoxazolidines, compounds cis-20c/trans-20c were found to be the most active against B. cereus PCM 1948 (MIC = 0.625 mg/mL). B. cereus is a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium commonly found in the environment and can contaminate food. B. cereus bacteria can multiply rapidly at room temperature and produce toxins that can cause food poisoning of the diarrheal and vomiting type. B. cereus is also associated with infections of the eye, respiratory tract, and wounds [26,27]. Alkene 24c and isoxazolidines cis-20a/trans-20a, cis-21c/trans-21c and cis-21d/trans-21d showed noticeable activity against E. coli ATCC 25922 (MIC = 1.25 mg/mL). None of the synthesized compounds exhibited antifungal activity against tested strains (Table 3).
Since mutagenic compounds can be capable of inducing cancer [28], we decided to evaluate the mutagenic potential of the most active agent, i.e., the inseparable mixture of compounds cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94) (Table 3) using the Ames mutagenicity assay (the bacterial reverse mutation test). The study was performed using a standard microplate Ames MPFTM Penta I kit (Xenometrix, Allschwil, Switzerland), compliant with the OECD guideline 417 [29] and the International Organization for Standardization [30,31]. This test is a widely accepted short-term bacterial assay for the identification of substances that can produce genetic damage that leads to gene mutations. The bacterial strains used in this assay have various mutations that inactivate a gene involved in the synthesis of essential amino acids, either histidine (Salmonella typhimurium, TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 strains) or tryptophan (Escherichia coli, WP2uvrA[pKM101 strain), so they can only grow in the culture medium that is supplemented with that amino acid. The mutagenic potential of the sample was assessed after metabolic activation in the presence of Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9 (S9 Cofactor kit, Xenometrix, Allschwil, Switzerland). When the bacteria are exposed to a mutagen, mutations occur that may restore or reverse the ability of the bacteria to synthesize the amino acid and to continue growing once the limited amount of amino acid in the liquid medium is depleted. The following mutagenic compounds were used as positive controls: 2-aminoanthracene (for S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and 2-aminofluorene (for E.coli strain WP2 uvrA[pKM101]). As the negative control, 50% DMSO was used (solvent for the tested compound). Based on the obtained results, the tested agent, the inseparable mixture of compounds cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94), should be considered as not mutagenic in the tested species of bacteria at the concentration up to 0.625 mg/mL.

3.6. Antiviral Activity Assays

The compounds were evaluated against different herpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain KOS, thymidine kinase-deficient (TK) HSV-1 KOS strain resistant to ACV (ACVr), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) strain G, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strain Oka, TK VZV strain 07-1, and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains AD-169 and Davis as well as vaccinia virus, adenovirus-2, human coronavirus, parainfluenza-3 virus, reovirus-1, Sindbis virus, Coxsackie virus B4, Punta Toro virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and influenza A virus subtypes H1N1 (A/PR/8), H3N2 (A/HK/7/87), and influenza B virus (B/HK/5/72), based on inhibition of virus-induced cytopathicity or plaque formation in human embryonic lung (HEL) fibroblasts, African green monkey kidney cells (Vero), human epithelial cervix carcinoma cells (HeLa), or Madin–Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK). Confluent cell cultures in microtiter 96-well plates were inoculated with 100 CCID50 of virus (1 CCID50 being the virus dose to infect 50% of the cell cultures) or with 20 plaque forming units (PFU), and the cell cultures were incubated in the presence of varying concentrations of the test compounds. Viral cytopathicity or plaque formation (VZV) was recorded as soon as it reached completion in the control virus-infected cell cultures that were not treated with the test compounds. Antiviral activity was expressed as the EC50 or compound concentration required to reduce virus-induced cytopathicity or viral plaque formation by 50%. Cytotoxicity of the test compounds was expressed as the minimum cytotoxic concentration (MCC) or the compound concentration that caused a microscopically detectable alteration of cell morphology.

3.7. Antibacterial Activity Assays

The antimicrobial tests were performed using reference strains of microbia from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), including E. faecalis ATCC 29212, S. aureus ATCC 2593, E. coli ATCC 25922, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and two fungal strains, C. albicans ATCC 10241 and A. brasiliensis ATCC 16404. From the Polish Collection of Microorganisms (PCM), B. cereus PCM 1948 was used. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was assessed according to their minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBC). The MIC and MBC were expressed in mg/mL. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were determined using the broth microdilution method in a liquid medium according to The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility (EUCAST) recommendations. The Mueller–Hinton liquid medium (pH~7.2) (BioMerieux, Marcy L′Etoile, France) was used for bacteria. Liquid medium RPMI-1640 (pH~7.2) (Sigma, Darmstadt, Germany) was used for the fungal strains. Each tested compound was dissolved in 10 mg/mL in sterile water. Two-fold series dilutions of the different compounds in the growth medium were performed in the 96-well sterile microtiter plates (Kartell Labware, Noviglio, Italy). Inocula were freshly prepared and standardized as microbial suspensions (McFarland scale) containing 108 colony forming units (cfu/mL), added at a volume of 10 μL, to the wells of the microtiter plate together with the serial dilutions of the compounds in the growth medium. After 24 h of incubation at 37 °C, microbial growth was evaluated spectrophotometrically at 595 nm using a Microplate reader 680 (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). The lowest concentration of the tested compounds resulting in total growth inhibition was taken as the MIC value. To determine the MBC, 10 μL of the culture were collected from each well, where no visible growth of microorganisms was recorded and plated onto the surface of Brain Heart Infusion Agar (BioMerieux, Marcy L′Etoile, France). The cultures were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C. An absence of microbial growth indicated bactericidal activity by the tested compounds. Plates with A. brasiliensis were incubated at 37 °C for three days. The tests were performed in two independent experiments. Amikacin (Sigma, Darmstadt, Germany) and fluconazole (Sigma) were used as antimicrobial standards.

3.8. Microbial Mutagenicity Assay—The Ames Test

Mutagenicity was determined using a standard microplate AMES MPFTM PENTA I kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Xenometrix, Allschwil, Switzerland) [29]. Bacteria were exposed to 25 µL of the tested compound (0.625 mg/mL) as well as positive and negative controls for 90 min in a medium-containing sufficient histidine (S. typhimurium) or tryptophan (E. coli) to support approximately two cell divisions. After exposure, the cultures were diluted in pH indicator medium lacking histidine or tryptophan and aliquoted into 48 wells of a 384-well plate. Within two days, cells that had undergone reversion to amino acid prototrophy grew. Bacterial metabolism reduces the pH of the medium, changing the color of that well. The number of wells containing revertant colonies was counted for each dose and compared to a solvent (negative) control. Each dose was performed in triplicate to allow for statistical analysis of the data. A dose-dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies upon exposure to the test sample relative to the solvent control indicates that the sample is mutagenic in the Ames MPF assay. The mutagenic potential of the sample was assessed after metabolic activation in the presence of Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9 (S9 Cofactor kit, Xenometrix, Allschwil, Switzerland). The following mutagenic compounds were used as positive controls: 2-aminoanthracene (for S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and 2-aminofluorene (for E.coli strain WP2 uvrA[pKM101]). As the negative control, 50% DMSO was used.

4. Conclusions

Good yields (61–96%) and trans/cis diastereoselectivities (d.e = 70–84%) for the functionalized diastereoisomeric 3-(diethoxyphosphonyl)isoxazolidines trans-20/cis-20 and trans-21/cis-21 were observed in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of N-methyl- and N-benzyl-C-(diethoxyphosphonyl)nitrones 22 and 23 with selected N3-allyl-N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-diones 24a–d. The inhibitory activities of alkenes 24a–d and isoxazolidines 20 and 21 were assayed toward a broad panel of DNA and RNA viruses and several isoxazolidines appeared active toward VZV (EC50 = 12.63–58.48 µM). The inseparable mixtures of isoxazolidienes cis-21b/trans-21b (15:85) (EC50 = 12.63 µM) and cis-21a/trans-21a (10:90) (EC50 = 14.5 µM) showed the highest activity against TK+ VZV OKA strain, but much lower than that of the reference compounds acyclovir (EC50 = 0.49 µM) and brivudine (EC50 = 0.026 µM). On the other hand, the mixture of isoxazolidines cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94) inhibited the growth of B. cereus PCM 1948, the bacteria responsible for foodborne illnesses, showing the MIC value of 0.625 mg/mL while not being mutagenic at this concentration. Unfortunately, the observed MIC value was lower than that of the reference drug amikacin (MIC = 0.02 mg/mL).
