Received 11 th August 2013 rd Original Research Article Accepted 3 July 2014 Published 8th August 2014 ABSTRACT A series of new phthalimides 1(a-f) were synthesized via reaction phthalic anhydride with different amino acids under fusion conditions. Esterification of N-phthaloyl acid derivatives 1(a-f) with methanol in the presence of SOCl 2 to producing the corresponding esters 2(a-f). Which on reaction with hydrazine hydrate in boiling n-butanol afforded the corresponding N-phthaloyl acid hydrazides 4(a-f) Reaction of compound (4a) with different aldehydes and ketones yielded the corresponding hydrazone derivatives 5(a-d). Some new phthalimides linked to hetero cyclic moieties such as benzimidazoles, benzoxazines and quinazolines were synthesized. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed from their analytical and spectral data such as, IR spectra, 1H-NMR and mass spectra. Antimicrobial against two types of bacteria and anticancer activity for some of the synthesized imides were evaluated. The results showed that most of them have a good antimicrobial and anticancer activities. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ *Corresponding author: Email: [email protected]; British Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 4(16): 1923-1936, 2014 Keywords: Phthalimide; phthaloyl ethyl glycinate; benzimidazoles; benzoxazines quinzolinones; anti-inflammatory; antihypertensive activity; antimicrobial; anticancer activities. 1. INTRODUCTION Imide group is an interesting functionality, due to its wide presence in natural products and in the pharmacologically active compounds. Compounds containing phthalimide moiety are distinguished by their potent antimicrobial action [1-3]. Phthalimides were found to possess anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anxiolytic, antibacterial and antitumor properties [4,5]. Also, phthalimides are important synthetic intermediate to prepare primary amines, agriculture pesticides. The use of phthalimide as primary amine protecting group is extensively documented in the chemical literature, especially for peptides, α-amino acids, amino glycosides and β-lactam antibiotics [6]. 2. EXPERIMENTAL All melting points were measured on a Gallenkamp melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. The infrared spectra were recorded on a PVE Unicam SP 3300 and Shimadzu FT IR 8101 PC infrared spectrophotometers. The NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury VXR-300 NMR spectrometer at 300 MHz (DMSO-d6). Chemical shifts were related to that of the solvent. The biological and pharmaceutical activities were carried out at The Regional Center for Mycology & Biotechnology in Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt, National Research Center, Giza, Egypt, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt and at Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig, Egypt. 2.1 Synthesis of N-phthaloyl Amino Acids 1(a-f) Method (A): A mixture of equimolecular quantities of phthalic anhydride, appropriate amino acids (glycine, alanine, asparagine, methionine, tyrosine, and valine) was heated under fusion condition in an oil bath at 170-190ºC for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was kept at room temperature, overnight. The unreacted raw material removed by repeatedly shaking with 50 ml portions of benzene and then with 50 ml portions of chloroform. The solid separated was filtered, dried and recrystallized from the proper solvents. Method (B): A mixture of phthalic anhydride 74 g (0.5 mole) and (0.5 mole) of respective amino acids namely, glycine, alanine, asparagine, methionine, tyrosine, and valine was refluxed in 100 ml toluene/and or acetic acid in presence of 6.5 ml of triethylamine for 2 hours, the organic solvents were removed in vacuum, then 100 ml of H 2O and 10 ml of concentrated HCl were added. The solid separated was filtered, dried and recrystallized from the proper solvents. 1924 British Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 4(16): 1923-1936, 2014 2.2 Synthesis of N-phthaloyl Amino Acid Methyl Esters 2(a-f) Method A: To a stirred solution of N-phthaloyl amino acids 1(a-f) (0.1 mole) in absolute methanol (30 ml), thionyl chloride (0.02 mole) was added dropwise with stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction, the mixture was allowed to stay overnight then poured on crushed ice. The solid separated recrystallized with petroleum ether. Method B: A mixture of N-phthaloyl amino acids 1(a-f) (0.03 mole) in acetone, dimethyl sulphate (0.07 mole) anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.02 mole) was refluxed on a water bath for 2 hours with occasional stirring. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was allowed to cool at room temperature and poured into crushed ice.
