Structure pyridazinones

Pyridazinones may undergo ring contraction to pyrroles, pyrazoles and indoles, the process being induced either by an acid or base. The structure of the final product is strongly dependent on the reaction conditions. For example, 4,5-dichloro-l-phenylpyridazin-6(lFT)-one rearranges thermally to 4-chloro-l-phenylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid (12S), while in aqueous base the corresponding 4-hydroxy acid (126) is formed (Scheme 40). 

Factor b above is discussed in Sections II, B, 1 II, B, 4 and II, C. A hydrogen-bonded structure such as 221 can account for the facile reaction of 5-bromouracil or for the unique, so-called hydrolyzability of carboxymethylthio-azines (237). The latter may also react via the intramolecular mechanism indicated in 136. The hydrogen-bonded transition state 238 seems a reasonable explanation of the fact that 3,4,6- and 3,4,5-trichloropyridazines react with glacial acetic acid selectively to give 3-pyridazinones while other nucleophiles (alkoxides, hydrazine, ammonia, or sulfanilamide anion) react at the 4- and 5-positions. In this connection, 4-amino-3,5-dichloro-pyridazine in liquid hydrazine gives (95°, 3hr, 60%yield)the isomer-... 

Cycloaddition reactions of nitrile oxides with 5-unsubstituted 1,4-dihydro-pyridine derivatives produced isoxazolo[5,4-Z>]pyridines in moderate to good yield. In each case examined, the reaction produced only a single isomer, the structure of which was assigned by NMR spectra and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis of 102 (270). A study of the cycloaddition behavior of substituted pyridazin-3-ones with aromatic nitrile oxides was carried out (271). Nitrile oxides undergo position and regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to the 4,5-double bond of pyridazinone to afford 3a,7a-diliydroisoxazolo 4,5-<7]pyridazin-4-ones, for example, 103. 

The most potent among the compounds tested were the pyridazi-nones (28, R1 = Ph, R2, R3, R4, R5 = H, n = 2-5) [101]. Structure-activity relationships have been investigated in detail with this type of compound. Also, thio-analogues of compounds (28) (3-pyridazinethione derivatives) as well as 2-aminoalky]-6-aryl-3(2//)-pyridazinones were claimed in patents as gastric secretion inhibitors or anti-ulcer agents [100, 102, 103]. 

The discovery of the positive inotropic and systemic vasodilator activities of bipyridine-derived compounds, like amrinone (7) and milrinone (8), has markedly stimulated research aimed at the development of structurally related non-steroidal, non-catecholamine cardiotonics. In this context, a wide variety of pyridazinone derivatives have been prepared and investigated in search for novel agents useful for the chronic management of congestive heart failure. 

A variety of tricylic compounds [indenopyridazinones (19)] have been prepared as rigid structural modifications of compounds like CI-930 (16) [28,29]. Most of them have been found to retain the positive inotropic and direct vasodilator activity of the freely rotating pyridazinones [28]. Also, hydrazinopyridazines of type (20) have been investigated as structural analogues of CI-914 and Cl-930, respectively. Whereas considerable inotropic activity has been observed in this series as well, ring closure to triazolo[4,3-h]pyridazines resulted in significantly less potent compounds [30]. 

An Italian team reported that pyridazinones (89) hydroxymethylated at C-5 induced a high decrease in systolic blood pressure in rats [371]. In Italy, much effort has been devoted also to the preparation of conformationally restricted congeners of antihypertensive pyridazinones. In a structure-activity study, it has been found that indeno[l,2-c]pyridazinones, in particular compounds (90), are potent antihypertensive agents [372].

The close agreement between the experimental and calculated (Equation 9) ratios of 18 2/18 3 support exclusion of the 4-hydroxylphenyl analogue from the calculations. Examination of Equation 9 shows an interdependence between the biological activity and the hydrophobic properties of the chemical used, commonly found with many QSAR equations. This interdependent relationship is determined by the and terms, respectively. These terms control phenomena of hydrophobic interactions with receptors and phenomena of transport and distribution within the total biological systems. The occurrence of squared terms of the hydrophobic parameter in structure-activity correlations has been explained on the assumption that the compound has to penetrate several lipophilic-hydrophilic barriers or compartments on its way to the site of action (16, 17). This is consistent with the uptake of pyridazinones by roots and sbsequent translocation to the shoots (chloroplast) as the site of action (13). 

Nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) difference measurements were used to assign structure 79 for the product of reaction of diphenylnitrile imine with 5-ethylsulfonyl-2-methyl(27/)pyridazinone. Thus in the H NMR spectrum the ot/, o-protons of the arylhydrazino moiety (which were identified by two-dimensional heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (2-D HMQC) spectroscopy) were shown in differential NOE (DNOE) experiment to be significantly enhanced on irradiation of pyridazine hydrogen H-7, proving their steric proximity <2000JST13>. 

A series of pyrazolo[3,4-, pyridazinones 430 and analogues, potentially useful as peripheral vasodilators, were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of PDE5 extracted from human platelets. Several of them showed ICso values in the range 0.14-1.4 pM. A good activity and selectivity profile versus PDE6 was found for compound 430 (6-benzyl-3-methyl-l-isopropyl-4-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-r/]pyridazin-7(6/7)-one). Structure-activity relationship studies demonstrated the essential role played by the benzyl group at position 6 of the pyrazolopyridazine system. Other types of pyridazinones fused with five- and six-membered heterocycles (pyrrole, isoxazole, pyridine, and dihydropyridine), as well as some open-chain models were prepared and evaluated. Besides the pyrazole, the best of the fused systems proved to be isoxazole and pyridine <2002MI227>. 

The structure of the pyridazine-based antidepressant agent minaprine (34-6) departs markedly from both the older tricyclic drugs and the more recent selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. There is evidence that the compound acts via a dopa-mimetic route. Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with itaconic anhydride (34-1) leads to the keto-acid (34-2). Condensation with hydrazine leads to the formation of the hydrazine and hydrazide bonds the double bond shifts into the ring to give the fully unsaturated pyridazinone (34-3) this is then converted to the chloride (34-4) in the usual way. The displacement of halogen by the amine on 3-(A -morpho-lino)propylamine (34-5) affords (34-6) [36].

A combination EIMS and X-ray study of [l,2,4]triazolo[l,2-b]- and [l,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,4-i>]phthalazines was undertaken [95JHC283], and X-ray crystal structure determinations of 5-(2-chlorobenzyl)-6-methyl-3(2W)-pyridazinone [95AX(C)1834], and on 6-benzyloxy-7,8-dihydro-8-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-r-triazolo[4,3-i>]pyridazine and its 5,6-dihydro-6-one derivative [95AX(C)1829] have been performed. Structures of some pharmacologically-active pyridazines previously reported as arylidene-4,5-dihydropyridazines need to be revised to those of aromatic pyridazine tautomers 6-8 based on a combination H NMR nOe and X-ray study [95AJC1601],... 

The palladium-catalyzed formation of diarylamines has been used in several contexts to form molecules of biological relevance. The ability to prepare haloarenes selectively by an ortfio-metalation-halogenation sequence allows the selective delivery of an amino group to a substituted aromatic structure. Snieckus has used directed metalation to form aryl halides that were subsequently allowed to react with anilines to form diarylamines (Eq. (34)) [209]. Frost and Mendonqa have reported an iterative strategy to prepare, by the palladium-catalyzed chemistry, amides and sulfonamides that may act as peptidomimetics. Diaryl-amine units were constructed using the DPPF-ligated palladium catalysts, and the products were then acylated or sulfonated with 4-bromobenzoyl or arylsulfonyl chlorides [210]. Le-miere has coupled primary arylamines with 4-chloro-3(2H)-pyridazinones to form compounds with possible analgesic and antiinflammatory properties.
