Antitumoural Sulphur and Selenium Heteroaryl Compounds: Thermal Characterization and Stability Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: The physicochemical properties of a compound play a crucial role in the cancer development process. In this context, polymorphism can become an important obstacle for the pharmaceutical industry because it frequently leads to the loss of therapeutic effectiveness of some drugs. Stability under manufacturing conditions is also critical to ensure no undesired degradations or transformations occur. In this study, the thermal behaviour of 40 derivatives of a series of sulphur and selenium heteroaryl compounds with potential antitumoural activity were studied. In addition, the most promising cytotoxic derivatives were analysed by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric techniques in order to investigate their polymorphism and thermal stability. Moreover, stability under acid, alkaline and oxidative media was tested. Degradation under stress conditions as well as the presence of polymorphism was found for the compounds VA6E and VA7J, which might present a hurdle to carrying on with formulation. On the contrary, these obstacles were not found for derivative VA4J.

Project description:Despite their wide use in academia as metal-carbene precursors, diazo compounds are often avoided in industry owing to concerns over their instability, exothermic decomposition, and potential explosive behavior. The stability of sulfonyl azides and other diazo transfer reagents is relatively well understood, but there is little reliable data available for diazo compounds. This work first collates available sensitivity and thermal analysis data for diazo transfer reagents and diazo compounds to act as an accessible reference resource. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) data for the model donor/acceptor diazo compound ethyl (phenyl)diazoacetate are presented. We also present a rigorous DSC dataset with 43 other diazo compounds, enabling direct comparison to other energetic materials to provide a clear reference work to the academic and industrial chemistry communities. Interestingly, there is a wide range of onset temperatures (T onset) for this series of compounds, which varied between 75 and 160 °C. The thermal stability variation depends on the electronic effect of substituents and the amount of charge delocalization. A statistical model is demonstrated to predict the thermal stability of differently substituted phenyl diazoacetates. A maximum recommended process temperature (T D24) to avoid decomposition is estimated for selected diazo compounds. The average enthalpy of decomposition (ΔH D) for diazo compounds without other energetic functional groups is -102 kJ mol-1. Several diazo transfer reagents are analyzed using the same DSC protocol and found to have higher thermal stability, which is in general agreement with the reported values. For sulfonyl azide reagents, an average ΔH D of -201 kJ mol-1 is observed. High-quality thermal data from ARC experiments shows the initiation of decomposition for ethyl (phenyl)diazoacetate to be 60 °C, compared to that of 100 °C for the common diazo transfer reagent p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide (p-ABSA). The Yoshida correlation is applied to DSC data for each diazo compound to provide an indication of both their impact sensitivity (IS) and explosivity. As a neat substance, none of the diazo compounds tested are predicted to be explosive, but many (particularly donor/acceptor diazo compounds) are predicted to be impact-sensitive. It is therefore recommended that manipulation, agitation, and other processing of neat diazo compounds are conducted with due care to avoid impacts, particularly in large quantities. The full dataset is presented to inform chemists of the nature and magnitude of hazards when using diazo compounds and diazo transfer reagents. Given the demonstrated potential for rapid heat generation and gas evolution, adequate temperature control and cautious addition of reagents that begin a reaction are strongly recommended when conducting reactions with diazo compounds.

Project description:Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene and cinnamic acid are four important biomass 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds. In the field of perfume and organic synthesis, their thermal stability and oxidation pathways deserve attention. This paper reports a new attempt to investigate the thermal stability and reactivity by a custom-designed mini closed pressure vessel test (MCPVT). The pressure and temperature behaviors were measured by MCPVT under nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere. The temperature of initial oxygen absorption (T a) and rapid oxidation (T R) were calculated. The results showed that four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were stable under nitrogen atmosphere. The T a of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid was 271.25 K, 292.375 K, 323.125 K, and 363.875 K, and their T R was 301.125 K, 332.75 K, 357.91 K, and 385.375 K, respectively. The oxidation reactivity order was derived to be cinnamaldehyde > cinnamyl alcohol > β-methylstyrene > cinnamic acid. The oxidation kinetics were determined using n versus time (n-t) plots, which showed a second-order reaction. Peroxide was determined by iodimetry, and the oxidation products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the peroxide value of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid reached 18.88, 15.07, 9.62, and 4.24 mmol kg-1 at 373 K for 6 h, respectively. The common oxidation products of four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon-carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were obtained from the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. The common oxidation products of the four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon-carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were caught in the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. According to the complex oxidation products, important insights into the oxidation pathways were provided.
