New series of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives were synthesized from 2-amino-6(phenoxathiin-2-yl)-4-(thiophene-2-yl) nicotinonitrile as starting material, and their structures were characterized on the basis of the spectral data. Most of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against two cancer cell lines, namely, breast cancer Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) and prostate cancer human prostatic carcinoma cell line (PC-3) using MTT assay. Some of these compounds showed potent cytotoxic effect concluded from their IC50 values. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 54, 295 (2017). INTRODUCTION Pyridopyrimidine and its derivatives are an important group of heterocyclic compounds, which have been subject to extensive study in the past years because of a variety of chemical and biological significance. The importance of pyridopyrimidines as biologically active compounds includes their use as antitumor [1–5], antimicrobial [6–8], anti-inflammatory [9,10], antimalarial [11], antifolate [12], anticonvulsant [13], analgesic [14], and antioxidant [15]. In addition, pyridopyrimidine-2-thiones displayed potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv [16]. Pipemidic acid, 8-ethyl-5,8-dihydro-5-oxo-2-(1-piperazinyl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid, is potent antibacterial agent (Fig. 1) [17]. In addition, 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives have been described as potential analgesic [18], antitumor [19,20], antiplatlet [21], and antihypertensive agents [22]. Nalidixic acid, 1-ethyl-7-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-1,8naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, is the first of the synthetic naphthyridine antibiotics [23]. It has historically been used for treating urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Klebsiella On the basis of the earlier-mentioned facts and in continuation of our ongoing interest in the discovery of new biologically active heterocycles [24–28], the present synthetic protocol involves synthesis of new series of pyridopyrimidine and 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives from 2-amino-6-(phenoxathiin-2-yl)-4-(thiophene-2-yl) nicotinonitrile as starting material and evaluation of their cytotoxic activity against two cancer cell lines namely breast cancer Michigan Cancer Foundation (MCF)-7 and prostate cancer PC-3 using MTT assay. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Chalcone, E-1-(phenoxathiin-2-yl)-3-(thiophene-2-yl)prop2-en-1-one (1) (prepared from the treatment of thiopene-2carbaldhayde with 2-acetylphenoxathiin), reacted with malononitrile in the presence of ammonium acetate to afford © 2016 HeteroCorporation 296 M. S. Behalo and G. Mele Figure 1. Molecular structure of Pipemidic and Nalidixic acid. the required starting material 2-amino-6-(phenoxathiin-2yl)-4-(thiophene-2-yl) nicotinonitrile (2) in good yield (Schemes 1 and 2). Chalcone 1 can have two stereoisomeric structures, Z and E forms (Fig. 2), but on the basis of the 1H NMR spectrum that showed two doublet signals for the two olefinic protons at 7.31 and 7.73 ppm with the coupling constant value J = 15.7 Hz, it seems to exist predominately in the E form [29]. On the other hand, the structure of compound 2 was established on the basis of its spectral data. The IR spectrum showed strong absorption bands of amino and nitrile groups at 3381, 3156, and 2214 cm1, respectively. Also, 1H NMR spectrum revealed a signal at 5.62 ppm. for the NH2 group. The presence of amino and nitrile group at 1,2-position to each other on the pyridine ring gives compound 2 significant importance as a reactive key precursor for the construction of heterocyclic systems of expected biological activity. Thus, fusion of compound 2 with urea or thiourea afforded pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine 3a,b, respectively [24]. The structures of products 3a,b were established on the basis of disappearance of a band characteristic to nitrile group in IR spectrum and their mass spectra that showed molecular ion peaks m/z at 442 (M+, 77%) and 458 (M+, 82%), respectively. On the other hand, treatment of compound 2 with urea in ethanol containing sodium ethoxide gave 1-(3-cyano-6(phenoxathiin-2-yl)-4-(thiophen-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)urea (4), which upon heating above its melting point, furnished pyridopyrimidine 3a. The reaction probably takes place through the elimination of ammonia followed by intramolecular cyclization at the cyano group. On the other hand, cyclocondensation of 2 with phenyl isothiocaynate furnished the corresponding pyridopyrimidinethione derivative 6. The reaction probably takes Vol 54 place via formation of thiourea intermediate 5 followed by cyclization at the adjacent C≡N group [24]. Aminopyridopyrimidine 7 can be synthesized through the reaction of compound 2 with formamide. Also, heating of 2 with formic acid under reflux afforded pyrido[2,3-d] pyimidine 8 (Scheme 3), the IR spectrum displayed a lack of absorption bands of both C≡N and NH2 groups and the presence of CO and NH absorption bands (Scheme 4). On the other hand, treatment of compound 2 with carbon disulfide in dimethylformamide afforded the reaction product that could be formulated as 7-(phenoxathiin-2-yl)-5(thiophen-2-yl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dithione (9); the reaction is assumed to take place through Dimroth rearrangement [30]. This investigation was extended to use compound 2 as a reactive substrate for the synthesis of a number of biologically active 1,8-naphthyridines. Thus, treatment of compound 2 with active methylene compounds, namely, ethyl cyanoacetate and ethyl acetoacetate under reflux in dimethylformamide in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine afforded 1,8-naphthridines 11a,b, respectively. The reaction takes place through formation of intermediate 10 formed from elimination of ethanol followed by cyclization at cyano group and tautomerization [31]. On the other hand, heating of compound 2 with malononitrile in dimethylformamide in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine furnished 2,4-diamino-7-(phenoxathiin-2-yl)-5(thiophen-2-yl)-1,8-naphthridin-3-carbonitrile (12). However, cyclocondensation of compound 2 with benzylidenemalononitrile in ethanol containing few drops of piperidine gave 1,8-naphthridine 13. CYTOTOXICITY ASSAY Materials and methods. Cell line. Two human tumor cell lines are, namely, mammary gland (breast) MCF-7 and human (prostate) cancer cell line PC-3. The cell lines were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) via Holding company for biological products and vaccines (VACSERA, Cairo, Egypt). Scheme 1.

The reagents RPMI-1640 medium, MTT, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 5-fluorouracil were purchased by Sigma Co. (St. Louis, USA) and the fetal bovine serum by GIBCO (UK). MTT assay. The different cell lines mentioned earlier were used to determine the inhibitory effects of compounds on cell growth using the MTT assay. This colorimetric assay is based on the conversion of the yellow tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to a purple formazan derivative by mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase in viable cells [32]. The cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. Antibiotics added were 100-units/mL penicillin and 100-μg/mL streptomycin at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 1.0 × 104 cells/well at 37°C for 48 h under 5% CO2. After incubation, the cells were treated with different concentration of compounds and incubated for 24 h. After 24 h of drug treatment, 20 μL of MTT solution at 5 mg/mL was added and incubated for 4 h. DMSO in volume of 100 μL is added into each well to dissolve the purple formazan formed. The colorimetric assay is measured and recorded at absorbance of 570 nm using a plate reader (EXL 800). The relative cell viability in percentage was calculated as (A570 of treated samples/A570 of untreated sample) × 100. Antitumor activity. Treatment of cell lines MCF-7 and PC-3 with the samples showed different cytotoxic effect as shown in Table 1. It was observed that pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidinethione 3b, pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidinedithione 9 and 1,8-naphthridincarbonitrile 12 showed the most potent cytotoxic effect against prostate cancer cell line PC-3 concluded from their IC50 values 9.47, 10.34, and 8.13 μg/mL respectively, but both of compounds 8 and 13 showed no cytotoxicity. On the other hand, only naphthyridine derivative 12 showed very strong cytotoxic effect against breast cancer MCF-7.
