## Abstract

Spiroconnected N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine hydantoins were obtained via the Strecker reaction of cyanohydrin with ammonium carbonate. 1,3,8-Triazaspiro[4.5]decane-2,4-diones have shown the myelostimulating activity in the artificially induced (with cyclophosphamide) myelodepressive syndrome. The compounds significantly accelerated the regeneration of lymphocyte and granulocyte cell pool of bone marrow hematopoiesis.

## Body

## 1. Introduction

Various groups of drugs of different origin and mechanism of action influence the process of hematopoiesis. Appreciable stimulatory effect on erythropoiesis has hormonal, iron-containing drugs, vitamin supplements, and other drugs.Very limited range of drugs that successfully stimulate leukopoiesis is known. Abnormal leukopoiesis accompanied by a decrease of the number of white blood cells may be due to harmful influence to bone marrow of the large doses of toxic substances and drugs (benzene, arsenic, chloramphenicol, phenylbutazone, diacarb, isoniazid, sulfanilamides, anticancer agents, pyrazolone derivatives, phenothiazines, etc.), different kind of irradiation, and so on. At mild leukopenia pyrimidine derivatives like methyluracil (methacin) and pentoxylum, which convert in the body to methyluracil, are administered [1, 2]. Both drugs stimulate the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, cell division, leukopoiesis, and tissue regeneration and are administered to patients with burns, fractures, and long-term healing wounds as well as to those who in need to increase specific and nonspecific immune resistance of the organism. However, these drugs cannot be assigned during the infection, since they can be disposed by microorganisms and contribute to their reproduction and the further progress of an infectious disease. A leucogen—2-(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl)-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid—stimulates leukopoiesis when it is significantly impaired and when agranulocytosis is arisen due to various reasons. Leucogen is contraindicated in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia.Sodium nucleinate induces leukocyte reaction and stimulates bone marrow activity. It possesses an activity of polyclonal immunostimulant which regulates migration of T-lymphocytes and cooperative processes of T- and B-lymphocytes; moreover it stimulates the phagocytic activity of macrophages and the production of nonspecific protection factors of the organism, especially during immunodeficiency; but it can cause uncontrolled cell division. Granocyte (lenograstim) recombined human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor involved in the production of granulocytes, macrophages, and megakaryocytes. It can also cause uncontrolled division of leukocytes with a suppression of the other ways of hematopoiesis. Leucomax (molgramostim) is a recombinant granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor which increases colony formation and granulocytes, monocytes, and macrophages proliferation and stimulates phagocytic and cytotoxic function of mature granulocytes against bacteria and cancer cells. It is applied in various neutropenia, aplastic anemia, bone marrow transplantation, and leukopenia associated with infection (AIDS). Leucomax causes dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, cramps, myalgia, and headache. There also may be dysfunction of the cardiovascular system, hypotension, and cardiac arrhythmia.Therefore, the search for new effective and safe leukopoiesis stimulants is of great importance.The basis of this work is the idea of a synthetic “assembly” of fragments bearing potential bioactivity in a complex polyheterocyclic system to enhance the immune response in experimental animals with the artificially induced myelodepressive syndrome.The reasons for this research are as follows: pronounced biological activity of N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine derivatives [3–5], including leukopoiesis stimulation [6], and simplicity of synthesis of spirocyclic compounds [7], including hydantoin derivatives, among which the drugs are capable of treating arthritis with immunocorrection activity [8].Hydantoins were mainly considered as anticonvulsant agents [9]. Among the known hydantoin derivatives are 5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin, 5,5-diphenylhydantoin, and its sodium salt (phenytoin), which are used in the treatment of chorea and epilepsy and as cardiac antiarrhythmics because of their regulatory action on bioelectric activity of the nervous system. Also some hydantoin derivatives, like barbiturates, have a soporific effect [10]. Some of the hydantoin derivatives possess anticancer and other types of activities [11–13].

### 2.2. Peripheral Blood Hemogram Studies

For the studies of peripheral blood hemogram 48 adult albino laboratory rats of both sexes were used, 10–15 weeks of age and 210–280 g weight. Investigations were carried out in accordance with the “rules for the preclinical (nonclinical) studies of biologically active substances” and “ethical principles and guidelines for scientific experiments on animals” [14, 15]. All the animals were kept under uniform conditions (wood litter of sawdust, the room temperature 22–24°C, and the natural lighting mode); they were fed standard feed rations. Animals were divided into 8 groups of 6 animals. The 8th group of animals was intact. All other experimental groups of animals were given cyclophosphamide [16] in a triple intramuscular injection at a dose of 30 mg/kg in a saline on average 0.6 mL of 1% solution. At 6th, 7th, and 8th day of the experiment the animals of 1st–7th experimental group were injected intramuscularly with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th groups, an average of 0.1 mL of 1% solution (5 mg/kg, saline),11,3,10,9, and8, respectively, 6th, 0.1 mL of saline solution (placebo), and 7th, an average of 0.1 mL (5 mg/kg) of 1% solution of methyluracil [1, 2] (the drug for comparison). Blood sampling was performed at 09.00 am from the orbital vein of rats in sterile hematologic tubes VF-052SDK with 2 mL of EDTA (K2) on 12th, 19th, 33rd, and 40th days of the experiment (1, 7, 21, and 28 days after injection of3,8–11) under the mild anesthesia with ether. Blood tests were carried out on a hematology analyzer for animal blood «Abacus junior VET» (Diatron, Denmark). For the dual cytological control smears of blood were made to count blood leukogram. Blood smears were undergone Giemsa stain method [17] and counted under a microscope SA3300S immersion (magnification 7·100) 100 cells per each smear sample, then the relative amount of each type of the cells was converted into the absolute value [18].Bone marrow examination was performed on 448 white mature albino laboratory mice of both sexes, 21–26 g weight. All animals were divided into 7 groups of 64 animals each. The 7th group of animals was intact. All the other experimental groups of animals were given cyclophosphamide in a single intramuscular injection at a dose of 160 mg/kg in saline, with an average of 0.3 mL of 1% solution. At 3rd, 4th, and 5th days of the experiment the animals of the 1st–3rd experimental group were injected intramuscularly with an average of 0.1 mL of 10% solution (5 mg/kg, saline),11,3, and9, respectively, the animals of the 4th group were injected with 0.1 mL (5 mg/kg) of 10% solution of methyluracil, no bioactive compound was administered in the animals of the 5th group, and the animals of the 6th group were injected with 0.1 mL of saline solution (placebo). The animal’s euthanasia was performed by cervical dislocation of the spinal cord in the neck at 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days of observation. Bone marrow from the femoral bones was used to prepare smears and quantification of karyocytes (nucleated cells per one femoral bone). Bone marrow smears were stained with Giemsa method, a myelogram was counted using SA3300S microscope and digital microphotography by immersion (magnification 7·100), 500 cells on each smear, and then the relative amount of each type of bone marrow cells was converted into absolute values per one femoral bone. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s test.

## 3. Results and Discussion

### 3.1. Synthesis and Characterization of Spiroconnected Hydantoins

For the synthesis of spiroconnected bicyclic compounds bearing two pharmacophores, hydantoin and N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine, the Strecker reaction was chosen [19]. The interaction of cyanohydrin of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-oxopiperidine2, obtained with 67.5% yield from1, with ammonium carbonate gives the compound3·HCl with 24% yield (Scheme 1).Scheme 1
Synthesis of spiroconnected bicyclic hydantoins with N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine functionality using Strecker reaction.Considering the high pharmacological potential of piperidine-hydantoin derivatives, we further applied Bucherer-Bergs reaction [20] for the synthesis of piperidine-hydantoins (Scheme 2), allowing us to obtain the desired product in one step. The one-step reaction of obtained in [21, 22] 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-(1), 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-methyl-(4), 1-(3-ethoxy-propyl)-3-methyl-(5), 1-(3-butoxypropyl)-(6), and 1-(3-butoxypropyl)-3-methyl-(7) 4-piperidone with sodium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in an aqueous-alcoholic solution was carried out in sealed vials with further neutralizing with diluted hydrochloric acid and evaporation of water to get a mixture of the reaction product with sodium chloride. The proportions of reagents used in the synthesis of3,8–11 are shown in Table 1.Table 1

Synthesis of spiroconnected bicyclic hydantoins with N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine functionality using Bucherer-Bergs reaction.The purification of the resulting novel products3,8–11 was performed using column chromatography on alumina eluting with a mixture of benzene and ethanol at different ratios. The yields of 3-methyl- derivatives8,11 were 1.5 higher than their 3H-analogues3,10.The IR spectra of the synthesized bicyclic compounds3 and8–11 contain doublet absorption band at 1700–1743 cm−1, corresponding to the two stretching vibrations of C=O bonds. N-H bond absorbs at 3329–3333 cm−1 and ether (COC) connection at 1115–1120 cm−1.The13C NMR spectra of3 and8–11 contain most lowfield singlet signals with chemical shift values 175.5–183.2 ppm and 156.5–162.3 ppm assigned to the carbon atoms of the hydantoin cycle; carbon signals of the piperidine ring of3 and10 correspond to triplets at 48.9 and 56.0 ppm (C-7, C-9); 30.1 and 36.1 ppm (C-6, C-10). Singlets at 65.7–68.6 ppm were assigned to nodal carbon atom (C-5) of spirobicyclic compounds3 and8–11. The carbon 6-CH3 of8,9, and11 resonates at 12.6–12.9 ppm (quartet). Doublet signal of spirobicyclic compounds8,9, and11 at 12.6–12.9 ppm is related to C-6; C-10 gives a triplet at 30.7–34.0 ppm.In the case of 3-methylpiperidine-4-ones4,5,7 only one stereoisomer was obtained based on the fact that 13C NMR spectroscopy data is attributed to the configuration of the equatorial methyl group at C-6 (1/2 W = 6 Hz) and axially oriented bond (C-5), (C=O) (1/2 W = 12–14 Hz) [20]. This stereochemical result of the Bucherer-Bergs reaction which includes a series of sequential chemical steps is due to the high stereodirecting nucleophilic attack of the first CN-particle on the carbonyl group of piperidine-4-one, thereby forming a 4a-cyano-4e-hydroxypiperidine [23] with the retaining of the equatorial orientation of 3-CH3 group. This is followed by the replacement of the hydroxyl to amino group without altering the configuration of the C-5 center.


### 3.2. Myelostimulating Activity Investigation

Values obtained for the intact control animals are presented in Supplementary Materials (TableS1) (Figure 1(a)).Figure 1

Time in days (the abscissa axis) versus number of cells (the axes of ordinates) ((a) ⋅109/L; (b), (c), and (d) %).
(a) (b) (c) (d)The administration of cyclophosphamide resulted in the immunodepression syndrome with a left shift in the blood leukogram.To assess the myelostimulating activity of bicycles3,8–11 hemogram the analysis of blood on the 7th, 21st, and 28th day of observation was performed. The recovery of red blood cells and platelets was moderate for the groups 1st–5th that undergo the injection of3,8–11. On the 28th day of observation the red blood cell count was in the range of (3.54 ÷ 4.08) · 1012/L in blood, with an increasing of hemoglobin level in blood from (68.0±13.04) g/L to (80.4±12.72) g/L that was not significantly different from the control. Somewhat lower values were detected in the 4th group where compound9 was administrated. The platelet count and platelet level in groups 1–3 and 5 where compounds10,11,3, and8, respectively, were administrated, showed insignificant difference (within experimental error) from the control. Thus the platelet count for the experimental groups was in the range from (318.7±21.9) · 109/L to (337.9±26.4) · 109/L whereas in the control group it was (336.98±43.8) · 109/L. The platelet level in the experimental groups was on average (0.48±0.01)% while in the control it was (0.35±0.02)%.After injection of the compounds3 and8–11 the significant changes were registered in the white blood cell count and blood leukogram at the 21st and 28th day of observation. The white blood cells count in peripheral blood after 28 days of observation recovered in the dynamics: a leukocyte range corresponding to the first day of administration of bioactive compounds (1.9 ÷ 2.44) · 109/L increased to (2.2 ÷ 3.2) · 109/L to the 7th day of observation and 2.2–2.5 times to the 21st day of observation reaching (4.1÷4.7)·109/L. On the 28th day of observation it reached in some groups the level of intact animals (from (6.2±0.9) · 109/L to (8.7±1.6) · 109/L); that is, it increased towards the values of 1st day of observation in 2.7 and 4.6 times (p≤0.05), respectively (Figure 1(a)). On the 28th day of observation the white blood cells count in the groups where10 (8.2±1.1) · 109/L and8 (8.7±1.6) · 109/L were administrated, and the value of the control group (placebo) 5.5±0.9·109/L was exceeded in 1.5 (for 10) and 1.6 (for 8) times, respectively. The value of the reference drug methyluracil 6.2±0.9·109/L was exceeded, respectively, in 1.3 (for 10) and 1.4 (for 8) times (Figure 1(a)).The white blood cells count in the groups where8 (6.5±0.8) · 109/L and10 (6.9±1.0) · 109/L were administrated appeared to be at the same level as for the group where methyluracil was administrated (6.2±0.9) · 109/L. None of the groups had the white blood cells count after 28 days of observation recovered to a value of intact animals (10.1±1.9) · 109/L (Figure 1(a)).Statistical analysis of blood leukogram showed that cyclophosphamide solution causes a sharp decline of lymphocytes with an increasing of monocyte-eosinophile index. Administration of the bioactive compounds3 and8–11 stimulates the recovery of white blood cells subpopulations in peripheral blood comparable with methyluracil. The relative values of granulocytes after cyclophosphamide solution injection changed slightly, within the statistical error, and fluctuated in the range (48.4 to 52.1)%, close to the value of intact animals (44.1±0.8)%. On the 7th, 21st, and 28th day of observation there were no significant changes: (32.2 ÷ 44.4)%, (42.0 ÷ 49.6)%, and (34.4 ÷ 54.9)%, respectively (Figure 1(b)). After 3 days of administration of cyclophosphamide the relative lymphocyte ratio dropped to the critical values (21.1 ÷ 29.1)% against the value of intact animals (50.9±2.3)%, that is, in 2.4 ÷ 1.7 times (p≤0.05). The introduction of the bioactive compounds3 and8–11 stimulates lymphocyte pool proliferation activity and the release of agranulocytes into peripheral blood. Already on the 7th day of observation the relative lymphocyte ratio in the group10 administration turned out to be (39.6±3.0)% against the values of the control group (10.4±0.1)% (p≤0.05) and the values of the group of methyluracil administration (30.1±0.3)% (Figure 1(d)). On the 21st day of observation the increase in the relative lymphocytic index was recorded. It was in the range of (41.2 ÷ 35.1)% compared to the reference value (12.4±0.1)% (p≤0.05) (Figure 1(d)). And on the 28th day of observation the relative lymphocyte ratio in the group where10 was administrated was (44.4±0.4)% and where8 was administrated was (43.1±0.4)%, against the value of the group where methyluracil was administrated (36.8±0.3)% and the value of intact animals was (54.4±0.5)% (Figure 1(d)).The value of the relative monocyte-eosinophile index increased: at the 1st day of observation it was (22.5 ÷ 28.4)% compared to the value of intact animals (5.1±0,01)% (p≤0.01), at the 7th day of observation it was (27.2 ÷ 36.6)% against the value of intact animals (4.4±0.01)%, and then on the 28th day of observation it fell to (8.4 ÷ 9.4)% against the values of the control group (32.5±1.3)% (p≤0.01) and the intact group (3.2±0.01)% (Figure 1(c)). Thus, the data obtained by analysis of the blood hemogram showed that the compounds3 and8–11 stimulate release of leukocyte cells in the peripheral blood at the same level as methyluracil does.The data about the total leukocyte count, relative granulocyte index, relative monocytic-eosinophilic index, and relative lymphocyte index of the blood hemogram are represented in TablesS2–S5 in Supplementary Materials.The more explicit effect of stimulation of proliferative activity of immune cells was obtained from the mice’s bone marrow investigation. For this study the compounds3,9, and11 which have shown the highest activity were selected.The one single intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide 160 mg/kg resulted in suppression of bone marrow hematopoiesis. The level of myeloid cells during the first days of observation was (5.2 ÷ 6.8) · 106 cells/μL (Figure 2(a)). Cyclophosphamide showed significant cytostatic effect on the red blood cells and lymphocyte cells pools. The lymphoid cells subpopulation reached close to zero values at the first day of observation (0.2 ÷ 0.3) · 106 cells/μL, which is 19.5 times below the value for intact animals (p≤0.01) (Figure 2(b)). There was a sharp decrease in activity of erythroid pool in all the groups. The level of erythrocyte cells fell 4.3 times to (1.3 ÷ 1.5) · 106 cells/μL (p≤0.01) and had not recovered to the value of intact animals during the entire period of observation (Figure 2(d)). The sharp decline was not recorded in a pool of granulocytic cells, and it had much faster restoring and on the 4th day of observation the values of control group almost approached the values of intact animals (Figure 2(c)).Figure 2

(a) (b) (c) (d)Three-day administration of3,9, and11 causes a slow but steady increase (compared with the control group) in the amounts of nucleated cells. Recovery has been slow for myeloid cells (Figure 2(a)). On the first day of observation the mitotic activity of bone marrow at the myeloid karyocyte cell pool was as low as (5.2 ÷ 6.8) · 106 cells/μL. Starting from the 14th day of observation in the groups of3,9, and11 administration the increase of the proliferative activity (18.5 ÷ 18.8) · 106 cells/μL was detected. On the 21st day of observation the myeloid cells were close to the values of intact animals (20.4 ÷ 21.2) · 106 cells/μL (Figure 2(a)). Over the all days of observation in the group where11 was administrated the mice bone marrow myeloid cells exceeded the value of all the other experimental groups. On the 28th day of observation in the group where11 was administrated the level of nucleated cells became (23.4±0.05) · 106 cells/μL against (16.5±0.06) · 106 cells/μL in control (p≤0.05), exceeding 1.4 times (Figure 2(a)), and exceeding 1.22 times the group where methyluracil was administrated.The compounds3 and9 are inferior to11 but exceeded the reference drug methyluracil 1.2 and 1.1 times, respectively.Subpopulation of lymphocytic cells appeared to be close to zero at the first day of observation (0.2 ÷ 0.3) · 106 cells/μL, which is 19.5 times below the level of intact animals (p≤0.01) (Figure 2(b)). The start of positive dynamics was registered at the 8th day of observation (the 5th day after the administration of bioactive compounds). And on the 28th day of observation (25th day after the administration bioactive compounds) the highest value was observed in the group of11 administration, accounting for (5.2±0.03) · 106 cells/μL against (2.4±0.02) · 106 cells/μL in the control group (p≤0.05), exceeding 2.2 times the control group (p≤0.05) (Figure 2(b)). The compounds3 and9 are inferior to11 but exceeded the reference drug methyluracil 1.6 and 2.0 times, respectively.Also, distinguishable difference was observed in the amount of granulocytic cells. Already on the 8th day of observation (the 5th day after administration) in the groups of the bioactive compounds administration the level of granulocytic cells (6.2 ÷ 9.8) · 106 cells/μL has reached the value of intact animal’s cells (8.5±0.8) · 106 cells/μL. On the 14th day of observation the mitotic activity of granulocyte cell pool in the groups of the bioactive compounds administration (8.4 ÷ 9.4) · 106 cells/μL appeared to be higher than the mitotic activity of intact animals (8.2±0.8) · 106 cells/μL (Figure 2(c)). Throughout the entire period of observation, compounds9 and11 exceeded the activity of3 and the activity of reference drug.Cyclophosphamide has expressed a pronounced myelosuppressive effect on the proliferation of erythrocyte cells. In all the groups of observation slow recovery of erythropoiesis was detected, but not in one of the groups the level of erythrocyte pool has reached the value of intact animals during the entire period of observation (Figure2(d)). No significant differences between the groups of the bioactive compounds administration, the control (placebo), and methyluracil administrated group were observed.The data about the monocyte index, myelokaryocytic index, granulocyte index, and the total erythrocyte index of bone marrow myelogram are represented in TablesS6–S9 in Supplementary Materials.


## 3.1. Synthesis and Characterization of Spiroconnected Hydantoins

For the synthesis of spiroconnected bicyclic compounds bearing two pharmacophores, hydantoin and N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine, the Strecker reaction was chosen [19]. The interaction of cyanohydrin of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-oxopiperidine2, obtained with 67.5% yield from1, with ammonium carbonate gives the compound3·HCl with 24% yield (Scheme 1).Scheme 1
Synthesis of spiroconnected bicyclic hydantoins with N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine functionality using Strecker reaction.Considering the high pharmacological potential of piperidine-hydantoin derivatives, we further applied Bucherer-Bergs reaction [20] for the synthesis of piperidine-hydantoins (Scheme 2), allowing us to obtain the desired product in one step. The one-step reaction of obtained in [21, 22] 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-(1), 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-methyl-(4), 1-(3-ethoxy-propyl)-3-methyl-(5), 1-(3-butoxypropyl)-(6), and 1-(3-butoxypropyl)-3-methyl-(7) 4-piperidone with sodium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in an aqueous-alcoholic solution was carried out in sealed vials with further neutralizing with diluted hydrochloric acid and evaporation of water to get a mixture of the reaction product with sodium chloride. The proportions of reagents used in the synthesis of3,8–11 are shown in Table 1.Table 1

Synthesis of spiroconnected bicyclic hydantoins with N-alkoxyalkylpiperidine functionality using Bucherer-Bergs reaction.The purification of the resulting novel products3,8–11 was performed using column chromatography on alumina eluting with a mixture of benzene and ethanol at different ratios. The yields of 3-methyl- derivatives8,11 were 1.5 higher than their 3H-analogues3,10.The IR spectra of the synthesized bicyclic compounds3 and8–11 contain doublet absorption band at 1700–1743 cm−1, corresponding to the two stretching vibrations of C=O bonds. N-H bond absorbs at 3329–3333 cm−1 and ether (COC) connection at 1115–1120 cm−1.The13C NMR spectra of3 and8–11 contain most lowfield singlet signals with chemical shift values 175.5–183.2 ppm and 156.5–162.3 ppm assigned to the carbon atoms of the hydantoin cycle; carbon signals of the piperidine ring of3 and10 correspond to triplets at 48.9 and 56.0 ppm (C-7, C-9); 30.1 and 36.1 ppm (C-6, C-10). Singlets at 65.7–68.6 ppm were assigned to nodal carbon atom (C-5) of spirobicyclic compounds3 and8–11. The carbon 6-CH3 of8,9, and11 resonates at 12.6–12.9 ppm (quartet). Doublet signal of spirobicyclic compounds8,9, and11 at 12.6–12.9 ppm is related to C-6; C-10 gives a triplet at 30.7–34.0 ppm.In the case of 3-methylpiperidine-4-ones4,5,7 only one stereoisomer was obtained based on the fact that 13C NMR spectroscopy data is attributed to the configuration of the equatorial methyl group at C-6 (1/2 W = 6 Hz) and axially oriented bond (C-5), (C=O) (1/2 W = 12–14 Hz) [20]. This stereochemical result of the Bucherer-Bergs reaction which includes a series of sequential chemical steps is due to the high stereodirecting nucleophilic attack of the first CN-particle on the carbonyl group of piperidine-4-one, thereby forming a 4a-cyano-4e-hydroxypiperidine [23] with the retaining of the equatorial orientation of 3-CH3 group. This is followed by the replacement of the hydroxyl to amino group without altering the configuration of the C-5 center.


## 3.2. Myelostimulating Activity Investigation

Values obtained for the intact control animals are presented in Supplementary Materials (TableS1) (Figure 1(a)).Figure 1

Time in days (the abscissa axis) versus number of cells (the axes of ordinates) ((a) ⋅109/L; (b), (c), and (d) %).
(a) (b) (c) (d)The administration of cyclophosphamide resulted in the immunodepression syndrome with a left shift in the blood leukogram.To assess the myelostimulating activity of bicycles3,8–11 hemogram the analysis of blood on the 7th, 21st, and 28th day of observation was performed. The recovery of red blood cells and platelets was moderate for the groups 1st–5th that undergo the injection of3,8–11. On the 28th day of observation the red blood cell count was in the range of (3.54 ÷ 4.08) · 1012/L in blood, with an increasing of hemoglobin level in blood from (68.0±13.04) g/L to (80.4±12.72) g/L that was not significantly different from the control. Somewhat lower values were detected in the 4th group where compound9 was administrated. The platelet count and platelet level in groups 1–3 and 5 where compounds10,11,3, and8, respectively, were administrated, showed insignificant difference (within experimental error) from the control. Thus the platelet count for the experimental groups was in the range from (318.7±21.9) · 109/L to (337.9±26.4) · 109/L whereas in the control group it was (336.98±43.8) · 109/L. The platelet level in the experimental groups was on average (0.48±0.01)% while in the control it was (0.35±0.02)%.After injection of the compounds3 and8–11 the significant changes were registered in the white blood cell count and blood leukogram at the 21st and 28th day of observation. The white blood cells count in peripheral blood after 28 days of observation recovered in the dynamics: a leukocyte range corresponding to the first day of administration of bioactive compounds (1.9 ÷ 2.44) · 109/L increased to (2.2 ÷ 3.2) · 109/L to the 7th day of observation and 2.2–2.5 times to the 21st day of observation reaching (4.1÷4.7)·109/L. On the 28th day of observation it reached in some groups the level of intact animals (from (6.2±0.9) · 109/L to (8.7±1.6) · 109/L); that is, it increased towards the values of 1st day of observation in 2.7 and 4.6 times (p≤0.05), respectively (Figure 1(a)). On the 28th day of observation the white blood cells count in the groups where10 (8.2±1.1) · 109/L and8 (8.7±1.6) · 109/L were administrated, and the value of the control group (placebo) 5.5±0.9·109/L was exceeded in 1.5 (for 10) and 1.6 (for 8) times, respectively. The value of the reference drug methyluracil 6.2±0.9·109/L was exceeded, respectively, in 1.3 (for 10) and 1.4 (for 8) times (Figure 1(a)).The white blood cells count in the groups where8 (6.5±0.8) · 109/L and10 (6.9±1.0) · 109/L were administrated appeared to be at the same level as for the group where methyluracil was administrated (6.2±0.9) · 109/L. None of the groups had the white blood cells count after 28 days of observation recovered to a value of intact animals (10.1±1.9) · 109/L (Figure 1(a)).Statistical analysis of blood leukogram showed that cyclophosphamide solution causes a sharp decline of lymphocytes with an increasing of monocyte-eosinophile index. Administration of the bioactive compounds3 and8–11 stimulates the recovery of white blood cells subpopulations in peripheral blood comparable with methyluracil. The relative values of granulocytes after cyclophosphamide solution injection changed slightly, within the statistical error, and fluctuated in the range (48.4 to 52.1)%, close to the value of intact animals (44.1±0.8)%. On the 7th, 21st, and 28th day of observation there were no significant changes: (32.2 ÷ 44.4)%, (42.0 ÷ 49.6)%, and (34.4 ÷ 54.9)%, respectively (Figure 1(b)). After 3 days of administration of cyclophosphamide the relative lymphocyte ratio dropped to the critical values (21.1 ÷ 29.1)% against the value of intact animals (50.9±2.3)%, that is, in 2.4 ÷ 1.7 times (p≤0.05). The introduction of the bioactive compounds3 and8–11 stimulates lymphocyte pool proliferation activity and the release of agranulocytes into peripheral blood. Already on the 7th day of observation the relative lymphocyte ratio in the group10 administration turned out to be (39.6±3.0)% against the values of the control group (10.4±0.1)% (p≤0.05) and the values of the group of methyluracil administration (30.1±0.3)% (Figure 1(d)). On the 21st day of observation the increase in the relative lymphocytic index was recorded. It was in the range of (41.2 ÷ 35.1)% compared to the reference value (12.4±0.1)% (p≤0.05) (Figure 1(d)). And on the 28th day of observation the relative lymphocyte ratio in the group where10 was administrated was (44.4±0.4)% and where8 was administrated was (43.1±0.4)%, against the value of the group where methyluracil was administrated (36.8±0.3)% and the value of intact animals was (54.4±0.5)% (Figure 1(d)).The value of the relative monocyte-eosinophile index increased: at the 1st day of observation it was (22.5 ÷ 28.4)% compared to the value of intact animals (5.1±0,01)% (p≤0.01), at the 7th day of observation it was (27.2 ÷ 36.6)% against the value of intact animals (4.4±0.01)%, and then on the 28th day of observation it fell to (8.4 ÷ 9.4)% against the values of the control group (32.5±1.3)% (p≤0.01) and the intact group (3.2±0.01)% (Figure 1(c)). Thus, the data obtained by analysis of the blood hemogram showed that the compounds3 and8–11 stimulate release of leukocyte cells in the peripheral blood at the same level as methyluracil does.The data about the total leukocyte count, relative granulocyte index, relative monocytic-eosinophilic index, and relative lymphocyte index of the blood hemogram are represented in TablesS2–S5 in Supplementary Materials.The more explicit effect of stimulation of proliferative activity of immune cells was obtained from the mice’s bone marrow investigation. For this study the compounds3,9, and11 which have shown the highest activity were selected.The one single intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide 160 mg/kg resulted in suppression of bone marrow hematopoiesis. The level of myeloid cells during the first days of observation was (5.2 ÷ 6.8) · 106 cells/μL (Figure 2(a)). Cyclophosphamide showed significant cytostatic effect on the red blood cells and lymphocyte cells pools. The lymphoid cells subpopulation reached close to zero values at the first day of observation (0.2 ÷ 0.3) · 106 cells/μL, which is 19.5 times below the value for intact animals (p≤0.01) (Figure 2(b)). There was a sharp decrease in activity of erythroid pool in all the groups. The level of erythrocyte cells fell 4.3 times to (1.3 ÷ 1.5) · 106 cells/μL (p≤0.01) and had not recovered to the value of intact animals during the entire period of observation (Figure 2(d)). The sharp decline was not recorded in a pool of granulocytic cells, and it had much faster restoring and on the 4th day of observation the values of control group almost approached the values of intact animals (Figure 2(c)).Figure 2

(a) (b) (c) (d)Three-day administration of3,9, and11 causes a slow but steady increase (compared with the control group) in the amounts of nucleated cells. Recovery has been slow for myeloid cells (Figure 2(a)). On the first day of observation the mitotic activity of bone marrow at the myeloid karyocyte cell pool was as low as (5.2 ÷ 6.8) · 106 cells/μL. Starting from the 14th day of observation in the groups of3,9, and11 administration the increase of the proliferative activity (18.5 ÷ 18.8) · 106 cells/μL was detected. On the 21st day of observation the myeloid cells were close to the values of intact animals (20.4 ÷ 21.2) · 106 cells/μL (Figure 2(a)). Over the all days of observation in the group where11 was administrated the mice bone marrow myeloid cells exceeded the value of all the other experimental groups. On the 28th day of observation in the group where11 was administrated the level of nucleated cells became (23.4±0.05) · 106 cells/μL against (16.5±0.06) · 106 cells/μL in control (p≤0.05), exceeding 1.4 times (Figure 2(a)), and exceeding 1.22 times the group where methyluracil was administrated.The compounds3 and9 are inferior to11 but exceeded the reference drug methyluracil 1.2 and 1.1 times, respectively.Subpopulation of lymphocytic cells appeared to be close to zero at the first day of observation (0.2 ÷ 0.3) · 106 cells/μL, which is 19.5 times below the level of intact animals (p≤0.01) (Figure 2(b)). The start of positive dynamics was registered at the 8th day of observation (the 5th day after the administration of bioactive compounds). And on the 28th day of observation (25th day after the administration bioactive compounds) the highest value was observed in the group of11 administration, accounting for (5.2±0.03) · 106 cells/μL against (2.4±0.02) · 106 cells/μL in the control group (p≤0.05), exceeding 2.2 times the control group (p≤0.05) (Figure 2(b)). The compounds3 and9 are inferior to11 but exceeded the reference drug methyluracil 1.6 and 2.0 times, respectively.Also, distinguishable difference was observed in the amount of granulocytic cells. Already on the 8th day of observation (the 5th day after administration) in the groups of the bioactive compounds administration the level of granulocytic cells (6.2 ÷ 9.8) · 106 cells/μL has reached the value of intact animal’s cells (8.5±0.8) · 106 cells/μL. On the 14th day of observation the mitotic activity of granulocyte cell pool in the groups of the bioactive compounds administration (8.4 ÷ 9.4) · 106 cells/μL appeared to be higher than the mitotic activity of intact animals (8.2±0.8) · 106 cells/μL (Figure 2(c)). Throughout the entire period of observation, compounds9 and11 exceeded the activity of3 and the activity of reference drug.Cyclophosphamide has expressed a pronounced myelosuppressive effect on the proliferation of erythrocyte cells. In all the groups of observation slow recovery of erythropoiesis was detected, but not in one of the groups the level of erythrocyte pool has reached the value of intact animals during the entire period of observation (Figure2(d)). No significant differences between the groups of the bioactive compounds administration, the control (placebo), and methyluracil administrated group were observed.The data about the monocyte index, myelokaryocytic index, granulocyte index, and the total erythrocyte index of bone marrow myelogram are represented in TablesS6–S9 in Supplementary Materials.

Into a glass vial ammonium carbonate, sodium cyanide and the corresponding 4-oxopiperidine(1, 4–7) in the water-alcohol solution (1 : 1) were placed. The vial was sealed and heated on a steam bath within 4 hours at 75°C. The vial was then cooled to 0°C and carefully opened; the contents poured into a beaker and treated while stirring with 3% hydrochloric acid to pH ~ 6. The resulting solution was evaporated to dryness under the water pump vacuum. The residue was triturated with alumina and placed on a column with alumina. The product was first eluted with benzene ethanol (4 : 1) and then with a mixture of these solvents at a ratio of 1 : 1. The selected fractions were combined and the solvent was distilled off.

## 5. Conclusions

All the bioactive compounds studied have shown the myelostimulating activity on the model of cyclophosphamide-induced myelodepression. Total leukocyte count of hemogram of the novel compounds9 and11 exceeded methyluracil in the activity by 32 and 40%, respectively, and significantly accelerating the regeneration of granulocytes (by 11 and 44%, resp.) and erythrocytes (by 15%) of bone marrow hematopoiesis without affecting the erythropoiesis. The total leukocyte count of compounds3,8, and10 is on level of reference drug methyluracil.
