A series of novel s-triazine-1,2,3-triazole-theophylline and s-triazine-1,2,3-triazole-coumarin generation-0 dendrimers has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and mass-spectral methods. Some selected compounds have been evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activity against a variety of strains and for anti-cancer activity against 60 human cancer cell lines. Keywords: s-Triazine, dendrimer, triazole, theophylline, coumarin
Among the heterocycles, triazines have played an important role in medicinal chemistry. This class of compounds was first recognized in the early 1960s for their herbicidal activity1 and from thereon, 1,3, 5-triazine (s-triazine) derivatives have been extensively studied and found to exhibit a variety of biological activities such as anti-protozoal2-4, anticancer5,6, estrogen receptor modulator7, antimalarial8,9, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitory10, and antiviral activity11 including anti-HIV activity12. It has also been reported that s-triazine derivatives also possess potent anti-bacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria13,14. Melarsoprol (II), a triazine based arsenic containing compound is quite effective for the treatment of chronic African trypanosomiasis (Figure 1)15,16. Triazine based compounds have distinct advantages like synthetic versatility, higher yields and up-scalability, well-defined structures, high stability, possible functionalization aiding post-synthetic manipulation, and appropriate toxicity profiles17-19 that make them suitable candidates for developing dendrimer based novel drug delivery systems17. Drug delivery using dendrimers involves either the covalent or non-covalent association with the drug by utilizing multivalent sites on the surface of the dendrimer17. The latter mode comprises a variety of physicochemical interactions such as hydrogen-bonding, electrostatic interactions, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions17. Typically, triazine dendrimers involve the covalent mode of drug
association to circumvent the problem of low-drug loadings that would otherwise result if non-covalent strategies were used, particularly for hydrophobic drugs. Thus, hydrophobic anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and camptothecin have been attached covalently to the triazine dendrimers for drug delivery17. Coumarins and xanthenes are two different classes of compounds that have been known for their wide range of biological activities. Coumarins are universally found in nature and have attracted considerable attention due to their large variety of biological activities20. Some naturally occurring coumarin antibiotics such as novobiocin (III), coumermycin A1 and chlorobiocin (IV) have been found to possess exceptional activity20 but they are not used clinically due to their poor water-solubility and side effects (Figure 2)21. Similarly, methyl xanthines such as caffeine and theophylline and their derivatives are known to possess biological activities such as bronchodilating agents, cognition enhancers, mild diuretic and anti-bacterial properties22, and there are reports that they may increase the inhibitory effects of antibacterial agents23,24. As part of our ongoing work towards the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules25, herein is reported the synthesis of triazine based generation-0 dendrimers of the coumarin and theophylline moieties with the anticipation that these macromolecules may show better biological activity profile.

Results and Discussion Click-chemistry was employed in the synthesis of the 1,2,3-triazole linked coumarin and theophylline s-triazine dendrimers (Scheme I). Firstly, theophylline and 4-hydroxycoumarin were reacted with dibromides, Br-(CH2)n-Br (with n = 2,3,4,5) to give compounds 1a-d and 3a-d respectively. These were subsequently converted to their respective azides 2a-d and 4a-d, by reaction with sodium azide (NaN3) in N,N’-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent at RT for 4-6 h. On the other hand, cyanuryl chloride was reacted with excess of propargyl alcohol in presence of K2CO3 and THF under refluxing conditions to give 2,4,6-tris-prop-2-ynyloxy-[1,3,5]triazine 5 and compound 7 was prepared in a similar way from 6, which in turn was synthesized by employing low
temperature (~0ºC) mono-chloro substitution of cyanuryl chloride with aniline (Scheme II). Finally, four sets of triazine based macromolecules were synthesized via the Click reaction of 2a-d with 5; 4a-d with 5; 2a-d with 7; and 4a-d with 7; to yield the respective tris-(theophylline-1,2,3-triazole)s-triazines 8a-d; tris-(coumarin-1,2,3-triazole)s-triazines 9a-d; bis-(theophylline-1,2,3-triazole)s-triazine-anilines 10a-d; and bis-(coumarin-1,2,3-triazole)s-triazin-anilines 11a-d. The reaction was performed regioselectively by employing copper sulfate and sodium ascorbate to give 1,2,3-triazoles through Cu(I)-catalyzed azidealkyne cycloaddition. The synthesized macromolecules were 1 13 characterized by spectral (IR, H NMR and C NMR) methods and some of them were screened for their

antibacterial and antifungal activity against a variety of strains viz. Gram-positive bacteria [S. aureus (MTCC96), S. epidermidis (MTCC435)], Gramnegative bacteria [E. coli DH5α and P. aeruginosa (MTCC434)] and fungal strains [G. candidum, C. galbrata, and C. albicans] at different concentrations. Some of the compounds (8c, 9a) showed moderate antifungal activities (% killing of 83% and 84% respectively) at higher concentrations (250 µM) but these two compounds showed very moderate activity against the bacterial strains. Two representative compounds (8a, 11a) were selected by the US National Cancer Institute’s 60 human cancer cell line (NCI 60) panel for evaluation
of in vitro cytotoxicity and selectivity (differential cytotoxicity) across diverse histologies: leukemia, melanoma, and cancers of lung, colon, kidney, ovary, breast, prostate, and the central nervous system (CNS)26,27. Details of the NCI 60 human tumour cell line screening methodology are described at http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/branches/btb/ivclsp.html. The single dose screening results (at 10 µM concentration of compounds) showed that various cancer cell lines were largely insensitive to the compounds with no appreciable killing or growth-inhibition. However, interestingly, highly selective growth inhibition was observed against UO-31 (renal cancer) and UACC-257 (melanoma) cell lines by both the

Conclusions To summarise, a total of sixteen novel 1,2,3-triazole linked coumarin and theophylline s-triazine based macromolecules were synthesised in good yields with regioselective Cu(I) catalysed Huisgen cycloaddition being the key step to form the triazole linkage between the respective coumarin or theophylline moieties and triazine nucleus. All the compounds were well characterised by IR, 1H and 13 C NMR, and mass spectral methods. Biological activity evaluation of some selected compounds was performed and some compounds (8c, 9a) showed anti-fungal activity at higher concentrations (250 µM) but very moderate anti-bacterial activities. Screening results for the two representative compounds (8a, 11a) by NIH 60 cancel cell-line panel showed highly selective inhibitory effects against UO-31 (renal cancer) and UACC-257 (melanoma) cell lines while individually 8a inhibited TK-10 (renal cancer) and SNB-75 (CNS cancer) and 11a inhibited NCI-H522 (non-small lung cancer) cell lines.
