title: Synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles and selenazoles as potential antifilarial and antitumor agents. 2. 2-Arylamido and 2-alkylamido derivatives of 2-amino-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)thiazole and 2-amino-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)selenazole.
abstract: The synthesis of a series of 2-arylamido and 2-alkylamido derivatives of 2-amino-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)thiazole and 2-amino-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)selenazole is described. In vitro antiproliferative evaluations were carried out using L1210 cells. The 2-(alkylamido)thiazole derivatives were moderately antiproliferative, with IC50's of 4-8 microM. A significant increase in activity was obtained for the arylamido derivatives, with IC50's of 0.2-1 microM. The results obtained for the selenazoles were similar to those for the thiazoles. 2-Benzamido-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)-thiazole (19) was found to be a potent inhibitor of GMP synthetase. None of the compounds prepared in this study demonstrated antifilarial activity.
