ABSTRACT

A facile one-step synthesis of 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones from heterocyclic anhydrides and TMSA was described. This paper determines their antimicrobial activity against nine human bacterial pathogens by the broth microdilution method; antioxidant activity by DPPH• inactivation and a ferric-reducing power assay; and toxicity by a brine shrimp, Artemia salina, assay. The 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-dione yields were in the range of 57 to 98%. The novel compound 1H-pyrazino[2,3-][1,3]oxazine-2,4-dione 4c showed the highest antioxidant capacity (DPPH 35.4% and FRAP 0.063 µmol TEs/µmol).

Keywords: 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-dione; antimicrobial activity; antioxidant activity; toxicity.

INTRODUCTION

Currently, microbial resistance to first-line antibiotic agents is a public health concern, and new drugs are required to treat infected patients. Several heterocyclic structures have shown antibacterial activity, including benzoxazine-2,4-diones.¹ Benzoxazine-2,4-diones are potential pharmacophores because of their registered activities: potent inhibitor of hepatitis C virus,² butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor,³ antiallergic,⁴ antitumor,⁵ antipsychotic,⁶ antileishmanial,⁷ and antimycobacterial,⁸ among others. The syntheses of benzoxazine-2,4-diones from anthranilic acid derivatives,⁹ isatin,¹⁰ allenamides,¹¹ and carbamoylbenzoic acid¹² have been reported. Rao et al.¹³ reported the synthesis of isatoic anhydride from phthalimide and sodium hypochlorite in a basic one-pot solution. This is the only methodology used to produce isatoic anhydride on a large scale. However, if the temperature is not controlled during the course of the reaction, the yield is significantly reduced. In addition, large effluents of wastewater are produced. In general, these processes involve several reaction steps and employ expensive, noncommercial, or dangerous reagents; thus, a better process must be designed.

Viewing the process from a different perspective, there is an increasing interest in compounds with high antioxidant activities, which could counteract the oxidative stress associated with diseases.¹⁴ Antioxidant activity screening is commonly done by in vitro assays, as in the ABTS^•+,¹⁵ ferric-reducing,^16,17 and DPPH^18,19 methods.

Recently, we have reported the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds^20-24 with antiparasitary²⁵ and antioxidant^26,27 activities. In the following sections, an easy one-step synthesis of 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones from heterocyclic anhydride with TMSA is presented, and their toxicity, antimicrobial activities, and antioxidant activities are reported.

EXPERIMENTAL

Chemistry

All reagents were purchased in the highest quality available and were used without further purification. The solvents used in column chromatography were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without distillation. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of ¹H (200 MHz) and ¹³C (50 MHz) spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury 200 MHz Spectrometer in DMSO-d₆ with TMS as an internal standard. Chemical ionization mass spectra were obtained with a Varian Titan 4000 ion trap GC-MS, and the intensities were reported as a percentage relative to the base peak after the corresponding m/z value. HR-MS was recorded on an ESI/APCI-TOF Bruker model MicroTOF-II-FocusTM at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Campus Iztapalapa. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Cary 660 series FTIR-ATR spectrophotometer. Melting points were obtained on a Stuart apparatus model SMP30; the reported value is the average of three separate experiments.

General procedure for the synthesis of benzoxazine-2,4-diones

The heterocyclic anhydride in THF (1.0 mM) and trimethylsylilazide (TMSA, 1.05 equiv.) were stirred in a Schlenk bulb for 17 h at 53 ºC, then temperature was increased to reflux and maintained for 2 h. The resulting solution was concentrated under vacuum pressure until a solid was formed. The solid was washed with diethyl ether (5 x 4 mL) to obtain 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones in high purity.

DPPH-scavenging activity

The DPPH• scavenging activity of the benzoxazine-2,4-diones was assessed as described by Sivakumar et al. with slight modifications.³⁹ This method is based on the reduction of DPPH in the presence of antioxidants. The antioxidant activity is detected as a change in the solution color from purple to yellow. A solution of DPPH (0.10 mM) in ethanol was prepared. Then, 50 µL of the 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-dione (50 µg mL^-1 in ethanol) were mixed with 1.950 mL of the DPPH solution; the mixture was vigorously shaken, incubated for 20 min at 37 °C in darkness conditions, and the absorbance was measured at 517 nm (Spectronic Genesys 20). The results were expressed as % inhibition using a calibration curve of Trolox (0 - 400 µg mL^-1). The DPPH• scavenging activity of the benzoxazine-2,4-dione was calculated as follows:

DPPH scavenging effect (%) = [(A₀-A₁)/A₀] x 100,

where A₀ is the absorbance of the control and A₁ is the absorbance in the presence of the 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones (or the positive control, Trolox) at 100 µg mL^-1. Calculated values correspond to the mean ± one standard deviation of one experiment in quadruplicate and were determined by SPSS Statistics software v19 (IBM company).

Ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay

The ferric-reducing power assay was performed as described by Zhang et al. with slight modifications.⁴⁰ The FRAP reagent was prepared by mixing 2.5 mL of 10 mM 2,4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ), 2.5 mL of 40 mM HCl, 2.5 mL of 20 mM FeCl₃ and 25 mL of 0.3 M acetate buffer (pH 3.6). For the blank or compound assay, 1.95 mL of the freshly prepared FRAP reagent were mixed with ethanol (0.05 mL) or with the benzoxazine-2,4-dione (0.05 mL, 50 µg mL^-1). The mixture was incubated in darkness conditions (37 °C, 5 min), and the absorbance was measured at 593 nm. In the FRAP assay, the blue-colored Fe(II)-tripyridyltriazine compound was oxidized to the colorless Fe(III) form. Calculated values were the mean of four replicates and were reported as µmol of Trolox equivalents (µmol TEs/µmol of compound) in accordance with the equation of the Trolox calibration curve:

Absorbance = 19.57 Trolox (µmol) + 0.1051 (r²=0.9928)

Bacteria and the antibacterial assay

Activity against nine human bacterial pathogens was evaluated; two strains were ATCC (DIFCO Laboratories, MI, U.S.A.) (i.e., Staphylococcus aureus 29213 and Escherichia coli 25922), and seven clinical isolates were provided by the bacteriology laboratory of the Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, Secretaría de Salud in Mexico, D.F. (i.e., Streptococcus group A-4, Staphylococcus aureus 3, E. coli AO11, E. coli AO19, E. coli AO55, Salmonella typhi, and Shigella dysenteriae).

For the antibacterial activity evaluation, the benzoxazine-2,4-diones were dissolved in aqueous DMSO (5% v/v) and evaluated at the following concentrations: 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 350, and 400 µg mL^-1. The antibacterial activity was determined by a microdilution assay in 96-well plates.^41,42 Strains were cultured in Petri dishes (TSA, trypticase soy agar) for 18 - 20 h at 37 °C; two to five colonies were suspended in 1.0 mL of 0.85% NaCl (w/v) and density adjusted to 10⁸ CFU mL^-1 (0.5 McFarland value). Bacterial cultures (50 µL, 10⁶ CFU mL^-1) and 50 µL of each compound/concentration were mixed in the wells. Gentamicin (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 µg mL^-1) was used as a positive control, microorganisms without additives as a negative control, and dissolving solvents without compounds as a toxicity control. The 96-well plates were incubated for 18 - 20 h at 37 °C.

Brine shrimp lethality bioassay

The toxicities of the benzoxazine-2,4-diones were evaluated by the brine shrimp larvae assay.⁴³ Dried brine shrimp eggs were incubated in a saline medium under light conditions for 48 h. One-day-old larvae (10 - 12 per vial in 100 µL of saline solution) were transferred into 96-well plates and exposed to 100 µL of the benzoxazine-2,4-diones at 100, 300, 500, 700, and 1000 µg mL^-1. Four replicates of each concentration were done. The dead larvae were counted after 24 h of incubation, and the Median Lethal Concentration (LC₅₀) and 95% confidence intervals were determined by probit analysis with SPSS Statistics software v19 (IBM company). Evaluated compounds were classified by the LC₅₀ values as follows: LC₅₀≥ 1000 µg mL^-1, classified as non-toxic; 100<LC₅₀<1000, classified as moderately toxic; and 10<LC₅₀<100, classified as very toxic.^44,45

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Chemistry

As depicted in Figure 1, the synthesis of the 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones involved an acylazide intermediate 2, followed by a subsequent Curtius rearrangement to generate an isocyanate 3, and an intramolecular cyclization to provide the benzoxazine-2,4-diones 4. At first, the reaction conditions were optimized following the synthesis of the benzoxazine-2,4-dione 4a: the initial conditions were those recommended by Washburne,⁴⁶ the starting materials were refluxed in benzene for 19 h, and the reaction product was detected by GC-MS in positive chemical ionization. Later, the reaction conditions were changed: temperatures were 53 °C for the first 17 h, followed by 85 °C for 2 h, resulting in isolation of the compound 4a with 54% yield and high purity. The same conditions were used for the synthesis of 4a employing acetonitrile, benzene-acetonitrile (4:1 v/v), DMSO, and THF as solvents. Some unidentified byproducts were detected with acetonitrile and DMSO as solvents. In contrast, yields were high for the reactions with THF (85%) and benzene-acetonitrile 4:1 v/v (50%). The higher yield for THF could be associated with the solubility of reagents and intermediates in this solvent. Washburne⁴⁶ reported that oxazine-2,6-diones were obtained as silylated products. However, silylated benzoxazine-2,4-diones were not detected under our modified reaction conditions. The benzoxazine-2,4-diones synthesis using heterocyclic anhydrides and TMSA has the following advantages: i) reaction conditions are simple, ii) the products are obtained in good yields, and iii) less waste is produced in comparison with the phthalimides method.

The benzoxazine-2,4-dione yields were similar to those reported in the literature (56 - 98%, Table 1). Compounds 4b, 4e, and 4f were obtained as a mixture of regioisomers in the 6- and 7-positions (Table 2).

Table 2

Antioxidant, antibacterial, and toxicity activities

All of the synthetic benzoxazine-2,4-diones acted as reducing agents over the DPPH^• radical, with 4a and 4c as the best antioxidants (Table 1). Based on the structure-activity analysis, antioxidant activity can be associated with substitutions of the aromatic ring; compounds with substituents at C-5 or C-6 of the aromatic ring showed lower DPPH• scavenging activities. Moreover, the activity of 1H-pyrazino[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine-2,4-dione (4c) was 4.4-fold and 2-fold higher than 4b and 4a, respectively. In the FRAP assay, 4a-b, 4d, and 4f compounds showed similar activity; benzoxazine-2,4-diones 4f and 4c were the most active. Compound 4c was a 3.8-fold better reducing agent than 4f (Table 1). In the antimicrobial assay, the synthetic 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones assayed up to 400 µg mL^-1 were inactive against the tested human pathogenic bacteria. By contrast, several 3H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones have good antimycobacterial activities against M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. kansasii,^8,48,49 but reports about their evaluation against other bacteria are scarce. Moreover and more recently, the antimycobacterial activities of 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones have not been evaluated.

From the Artemia salina assay, substitutions in the aromatic ring of the benzoxazine-2,4-diones decreased the toxicity as compared with the non-substituted 4a. Furthermore, in the heteroaromatic compounds, more nitrogen atoms in the aromatic ring correlated with a higher toxicity (4b-c). The toxicity of 4b, 4e, and 4f are reported as regioisomer mixtures. The tested compounds 4a-g were classified as moderately toxic.

CONCLUSION

The proposed one-step method produced 1H-benzoxazine-2,4-diones from heterocyclic anhydrides with TMSA in good yields and with high purity. This methodology is simple, and the starting materials are economic, accessible, and commercial. The 1H-pyrazino[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine-2,4-dione 4c showed the highest antioxidant activity for the two methods tested (DPPH radical scavenging and ferric-reducing power).
