The 16H11FN4OS, was synthesized in the course of our studies on 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles as inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The three-dimensional data obtained were used to generate a three-dimensional pharmacophore model for in silico database screening. The dihedral angles between the central heterocylic system and the fluorophenyl and phenyl rings are 20.21 (3) and 5.43 (1)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 15.80 (4)°.
of the title compound, CRelated literature
Protein kinases (PK) are favoured targets for the development of new drugs (Hopkins & Groon, 2002) because the reversible protein-phosphorylation by PK is an important control mechanism in the signal pathways of a cell (Laufer et al., 2005). The [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole nucleus is associated with diverse biological activities (Malhotra et al., 2003). For the preparation of the title compound, see: Invidiata et al. (1997); Malhotra et al. (2003).

The synthesis of 3-(2-fluorophenyl)-6-(phenoxymethyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole was started from 2-fluorobenzohydrazide. Carbon disulfide (55.0 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of the hydrazide (36.0 mmol) in absolute ethanol (70 ml) containing potassium hydroxid (55.0 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred over night at room temperature, then cooled and diluted with ether (100 ml). Potassium 2-(2-fluorobenzoyl)hydrazinecarbodithioate precipitated and was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried.
A mixture containing potassium dithiocarbazinate (16.0 mmol) suspended in water (2 ml) and hydrazine hydrate (99%, 32.0 mmol) was heated under gentle reflux for 2 h. It was cooled to room temperature and diluted with water (80 ml) and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Thick white solid mass separated out. It was collected by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to get 4-amino-5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol 1. (Invidiata et al., 1997)
For the preparation of the title compound, a mixture of 1 (5.0 mmol), 2-phenoxyacetic acid (1.0 mmol) and phosphorus oxychloride (10 ml) was refluxed for 6 h, cooled to room temperature and poured onto crushed ice. The solid product separated out and was collected by filtration, washed with aqueous NaOH solution (20 ml, 2 M) and then with water, dried and recrystallized from ethanol 2. (Malhotra et al., 2003)
Crystals of 2 for X-ray analysis precipitated slowly as brown platelets from ethanol at room temperature.
Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions with C—H=0.95A% (aromatic) or 0.99 Å (sp3 C-atom). All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters set at 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Continued interest in development of small molecule inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase is based on the central role of this enzyme in inflammatory cell signalling. Activation of p38 leads to an increase production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. Many different diseases have their seeds in an overactive immune response. Prominent examples like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease turn it into a still prominent target for antiinflammatory drug discovery. 3-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-((4-methoxyphenoxy)methyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole was identified as potential hit in a virtual screening and the [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole core therefore chosen as starting point for a medicinal chemistry program. To gain more information about structure-activity relationship, a series of compounds were synthesized and tested.
The synthesis of 1 (Figure 1) was started from the substituted hydrazide, which was treated with carbon disulfide. Cyclization followed by reaction with hydrazine. The final product 2 was synthesized by reaction of 1 with 2-phenoxyacetic acid in presence of phosphorus oxychloride.
Of special interest was the proposed binding mode of disubstituted compound and a crystal structure of compound 2 was prepared (Figure 2).
