Design, synthesis and identification of novel substituted isothiochromene analogs as potential antiviral and cytotoxic agents

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we present the synthesis of novel isothiochromenes, thiazolidonone, thiazinone, arylidines, triazoles, and pyrimidinone compounds based on the starting material 3-amino- isothiochromene-4-carbonitrile 3. The chemical structures were confirmed using spectroscopic methods and elemental analyses. These compounds were screened for their in vitro antiviral and antitumor activities. Compounds 10a-c and 22a-b showed activity against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). Compounds 15 and 21a-b exhibited activity against various types of cancer cell lines. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
