Abstract

The derivatives of isoxazolopyridine have interesting biological properties. These compounds showed bacteriostatic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, cardiotonic and hypotensive, myolytic, antilipidemic and anxiolytic activity. Two of these derivatives were investigated in clinical studies: THIP  and THOPO as agonist GABA-receptors are used as anxiolytic agents. Herein, The synthesis of a new series isoxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines is described. 4-Amino-5-benzoyl-  3-carbamoylisoxazol was subjected to reactions with selected active methylene compounds in the polar solvent or in the presence of ZnCl2 or In(OTf)3 (under solvent-free conditions), leading to the production of the diverse substituted isoxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines in good yields. The chosen compounds were examined for antiproliferative activity in vitro against 8 various human or mouse cancer lines, using SRB technique. Two of them: revealed cytotoxic activity against the cells of all human tumor cell lines applied. Moreover, their ID50 values are in the range of the international activity criterion for synthetic agents (4 mg/ml).
