In the title compound, C20H16N2O2, the condensed tricyclic fragment is near to planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0531 Å. The 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) ring adopts a slightly puckered boat-like conformation. The N and opposite C atoms deviate from the least-squares plane of the four other ring atoms by 0.039 (3) and 0.141 (3) Å, respectively. The C=O group located at the tricyclic fragment is fixed in an s-trans orientation, while the second C=O group adopts an s-cis orientation with respect to the double bonds of the 1,4-DHP ring. The pyridine ring has a pseudo-axial orientation with respect to the 1,4-DHP ring. The dihedral angle between the tricyclic system and the pyridine ring is 77.3 (3)°. In the crystal, the pyridine N atom accepts a hydrogen bond from the N—H group of the 1,4-DHP ring. The hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite C(8) chains along the b-axis direction.

3-Acetyl-2-methyl-4-pyridin-3-yl-1,4-dihydro-indeno[1,2-b]pyridin-5-one was synthesized by the method described by Bisenieks et al. (1982). The resulting compound was dissolved in an acetic acid, DMAA and water (2:1:1) mixture while heating at 100 °C. Then the solution was kept at -5 °C until block crystals were obtained.
1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6), δ/p.p.m.: 10.19 (s, 1H, N—H), 8.48–8.49 (m, 1H, py-2-H), 8.34–8.35 (m, 1H, py-6-H), 7.25–7.61 (m, 6H, py-4,5-H and –C6H4CO–), 4.96 (s, 1H, 4-H), 2.4 (s, 3H, COCH3), 2.12 (s, 3H, 2-CH3)
The H-atoms were included in the

with an intense red colour which is common for this type of compounds. In this particular compound, the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring acts as a pharmacophore, and gives potentially useful pharmacological activities. Depending on the particular set of substituents, similar types of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives have been indentified as compounds possessing an effect on the accumulation of tau, a microtubule-binding protein, which plays a major role in many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (Christopher et al., 2010). It has been reported that similar types of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives have anti-cancer and anti-radiation activity (Bisenieks et al., 1995; Ivanov et al., 1989), and also skin regenerating and radioprotection properties (Bisenieks et al., 1987). Some of these types of compounds act as antioxidants (Bisenieks et al., 1982). Fig. 1 shows a view of the of the title compound. In the the 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) ring adopts a slightly puckered boat conformation. The N1 and C4 atoms deviate from the least-squares plane calculated through the four other ring atoms by 0.039 (3) Å and 0.141 (3) Å, respectively. The carbonyl group C13=O14 is fixed in trans orientation with respect to the double bonds of the 1,4-DHP ring while the second carbonyl group C15=O16 assumes cis orientation. The condensed tricyclic fragment is planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0531 Å. The pyridine ring has an axial orientation with respect to the 1,4-DHP ring. A dihedral angle between the tricyclic system and the pyridine fragment is 77.3 (3)°. In the crystal, the pyridine nitrogen accepts a hydrogen bond from the N—H group of the 1,4-DHP cycle (Table 1). The hydrogen bonds essembles the molecules in infinite chains, C11(8), along the b axis.For general information on the relationship between 1,4-dihydropyridine ring substituents and pharmaceutical effects, see: Christopher et al.

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. |

3-Acetyl-2-methyl-4-pyridin-3-yl-1,4-dihydro-indeno[1,2-b]pyridin-5-one is a condensed tricyclic 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative containing a conjugated system, with an intense red colour which is common for this type of compounds. In this particular compound, the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring acts as a pharmacophore, and gives potentially useful pharmacological activities. Depending on the particular set of substituents, similar types of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives have been indentified as compounds possessing an effect on the accumulation of tau, a microtubule-binding protein, which plays a major role in many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (Christopher et al., 2010). It has been reported that similar types of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives have anti-cancer and anti-radiation activity (Bisenieks et al., 1995; Ivanov et al., 1989), and also skin regenerating and radioprotection properties (Bisenieks et al., 1987). Some of these types of compounds act as antioxidants (Bisenieks et al., 1982). Fig. 1 shows a view of the crystal structure of the title compound. In the crystal structure the 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) ring adopts a slightly puckered boat conformation. The N1 and C4 atoms deviate from the least-squares plane calculated through the four other ring atoms by 0.039 (3) Å and 0.141 (3) Å, respectively. The carbonyl group C13=O14 is fixed in trans orientation with respect to the double bonds of the 1,4-DHP ring while the second carbonyl group C15=O16 assumes cis orientation. The condensed tricyclic fragment is planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0531 Å. The pyridine ring has an axial orientation with respect to the 1,4-DHP ring. A dihedral angle between the tricyclic system and the pyridine fragment is 77.3 (3)°. In the crystal, the pyridine nitrogen accepts a hydrogen bond from the N—H group of the 1,4-DHP cycle (Table 1). The hydrogen bonds essembles the molecules in infinite chains, C11(8), along the b axis.
