## Abstract

Some new fluorinated/nonfluorinatedα-amino acids bearing 3-thioxo-5-oxo-1,2,4-triazin-6-yl and steroidal moieties have been obtained from condensation of the corresponding amino-triazinones with the steroid (Epiandrosterone). This was followed by the addition of HCN and, finally, acidic hydrolysis. The structure of the targets was established from their elemental analysis and spectral data. The amylolytic activity of the new products was evaluated against some fungi.

## Body

## 1. Introduction

α-Amino acids are one of the most important bioactive chemical substances (proteins and nucleoproteins) forming the basic constituents of living cells. Nine proteinogenic amino acids are considered as essential biochemicals for humans: valine, threonine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, lysine, and histidine. For instance, 5-fluorocytosine is an analogue of nucleotide, used as a chemotherapeutic antifungal when combined with amphotericin B [1]. Of equal importance, glycine is required for the biosynthesis of the heme group of haemoglobin; also, tryptophan is the precursor of a family of substances important in the biochemistry of the central nervous system (CNS), and tyrosine is the starting material for the biosynthesis of the skin pigment melanin [2].The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) illustrates isozymes very well (Figure1).Figure 1

[3] Recently, Abdul-Rahman et al. [4–9] reported the synthesis, chemistry, and medicinal and biological activity, especially 6-(2-aminophenyl)3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5-one [10–14]. Among all approved medicinal and pharmaceutical chemicals, nearly 20% have at least one fluorine atom existing which enhances phase II-III clinical trials [15]. Thus, the combination of fluorine with biomolecules such as fluorinated amino acids (FAAs), fluorinated steroids, and fluorinated nucleosides has increased, considerably, of the late years [16].Incorporation of FAAs is one of the most utilized strategies in peptide and protein science. The effects of the combination of fluorinatedα-amino acids into peptides and proteins on the primary and secondary structure have been widely reviewed by Koksch et al [17–19]. Furthermore, the fusion of unnatural/synthesized amino acids into peptides and proteins is generally closely accompanied with antimicrobial [20–22], antiviral [23], and metal chelating properties [24]such as thrombin, trypsin, and factor VIIa inhibitory activity.Based on all these observations, this present work aims to find new synthetic fluorinated/nonfluorinatedα-amino acids bearing both 3-thioxo 5-oxo-1,2,4-triazin-6-yl and steroidal moieties and evaluates their enzymatic effects toward some fungi activities (amylolytic activity) with an objective to obtain new highly bioactive substances.


## 2. Results and Discussion

### 2.1. Chemistry

The main objective of this work is to synthesize fluorinated/nonfluorinatedα-amino acids derived from 1,2,4-triazinone and steroid. Through condensation of either fluorinated or nonfluorinated 1,2,4-triazinones bearing systems, such as 6-(2′-amino-5′-fluorophenyl)-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H, 4H)one (1a) and/or (1b) a solution in THF with dehydroepiandrosterone(B) (DHEA) in DMF reflux, yielded the 17-imino-derivatives 2a and 2b. Selective addition of HCN to an azomethine (imine) group, the Strecker reaction, is a common way to prepare α-amino acids by simple hydrolysis of the α-aminonitrile addition product. HCN was added to the imino group of 2a or 2b under specific conditions [25, 26] affording the α-amino-acids analogous 3a and 3b, which were hydrolysed to 4a and 4b, respectively (Scheme 1).Scheme 1

The new fluorinated α-amino acids 5a and 5b were obtained by the reflux of compounds 4a and 4b with 4-fluoroaniline in EtOH (Scheme 1).The IR spectrum of4a showed new functional groups at v 3500, 1710 cm−1, referring to OH and C17=O of the carboxylic acid group bearing steroids, with bonds at v 3500, 3210, and 3090 cm−1 for OH (steroids) and 2NH of 1,2,4-triazine and bonds at ν 1235 and 1195 cm−1 attributed for C-F and C=S, while that of 5a showed a lack of the C=S group.The1H-NMR spectrum of 4a recorded the resonated singlet signals at δ 1.05, 1.12 for 6H (18CH3-19CH3), triplet signal for β-proton at δ 3.6 for methine H of C3, singlet signal at δ 5.36 for H of the OH group at C3, and 13.79 and 10.22 ppm for 2NH of 1,2,4-triazine, in addition to δ at 8.16 (1H, NH bonded) and 7.97–7.16 (aromatic CH). The 13C-NMR spectrum of 4a gives a signal at δ 70.99 (C-3), 142.53 (C-4), 39.11 (C-10), 42.51 (C-13), 31.99 (C-17), 143.88 (C-18), 19.51 (C-19), 173.43 (C=O), and 201.55 (C=S), in addition to signal s at δ 128–131 (aromatic carbons) and at δ 141.15 ppm (C-F). Finally, a mass spectral study of compound 4a represented that the molecular ion has the intensity below 5%; however, fragments of the (M+-1) and (M+-2) peaks with a base peak at m/z 121 attributed to stable moiety (Figure 2). The 19FNMR spectrum of compound 4 showed δ at −124 ppm, with a coupling constant at 2JF-H = 8.6 Hz and 3JF-H = 6.3 Hz.Figure 2

### 2.2. Biological Evaluation

The four synthesizeda-amino acids, 4a, 4b, 5a, and 5b, were preliminarily tested toward some fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigains, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus nidulaus, and Aspergillus terreus for their amylolytic activity according to the classical methods [27–30]. Using DMF as a solvent, about 0.01 g of each compound was dissolved in the presence of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) at PH 6.5 for 30 minutes. The amylase activity was assayed at the adjusted pH and temperature 38°C, according to the standard method. [28, 29] The activity was estimated (in mg reducing sugar out of reaction mixture), and all the results obtained are reported in Table 1.Table 1

Finally, we report that the active new fluorinated α-amino acids are a promising candidate to be used as enzymatic catalysts in the vital biosynthesis process due to their activity.

## 4. Conclusions

In a search for newα-amino acids, the present work reports a simple route to synthesize fluorinated and nonfluorinated α-amino acids derived from the corresponding 1,2,4-triazinone bearing an amino-group and a steroidal component. The new fluorinated synthetic skeletons exhibit an amylolytic activity greater than nonfluorinated systems against some fungi.
