Antitumor activity of 4-amino and 8-methyl-4-(3diethylamino propylamino)pyrimido[4',5':4,5]thieno (2,3-b) quinolines

The interaction of 4-aminopyrimido [4',5':4,5] thieno (2,3-b) quinoline and 8-methyl-4-(3-diethylaminopropylamino) pyrimido [4',5':4,5] thieno (2,3-b) quinoline with DNA was studied by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometry as well as by hydrodynamic methods. On binding to DNA, the absorption spectra underwent bathochromic and hypochromic shifts and the fluorescence was quenched. These compounds are able to bind to DNA with an affinity of about 10(6) M(-1) for calf thymus DNA at ionic strength 0.01 M and their intercalating characteristic (lengthening of the DNA) depends upon the length of the chain. Binding to the GC-rich DNA of Micrococcus lysodeikticus was stronger than the binding to calf thymus DNA at ionic strength 0.01 M. The cytotoxicities of these compounds on leukemia HL-60, melanoma B16F10 and neuro 2a cells are quite similar and inhibition (IC50) is in the range of 0.992-3.968 microM. The anticancer efficacy against B16 melanoma, has provided evidence of major antitumor activity for 8-methyl-4-(3diethylaminopropylamino) pyrimido [4',5':4,5] thieno(2,3-b)quinoline. Single or multiple intraperitonial (i.p) doses of drug proved high level activity against the subcutaneous (s.c) grafted B16 melanoma, significantly increasing survival (p<0.001) and inhibiting tumor growth (T/C of 4%). This study offers a new intercalation functional group to DNA-targeted drug design.     

Intercalating, cytotoxic, antitumour activity of 8-chloro and 4-morpholinopyrimido [4',5':4,5]thieno(2,3-b)quinolines

Circular dichroism, hydrodynamic methods, absorbance and fluorescence titration's were employed to study the interaction of 8-chloropyrimido[4',5':4,5]thieno(2,3-b)quinolin-4(3H)-one (chloro-PTQ) and 4-morpholinopyrimido[4',5':4,5]thieno(2,3-b)quinoline (morpholino-PTQ) with DNA. The association constant of chloro-PTQ and morpholino-PTQ were of the order of 10(5) and 10(6) M(-1). The fluorescence properties at ionic strength of 10mM are best fit by the neighbor exclusion model, with Ki of 0.3 x 10(4) M(-1) to 3.2 x 10(6) M(-1). CD spectra indicate that stacking of these compounds with DNA induces strong helicity in the usually disordered structure of the double strand. Viscosity experiments with sonicated rod like DNA fragments, produced a calculated length of 2.4A/bound of chloro/morpholino-PTQ molecule. The binding of chloro/morpholino-PTQ to DNA increased the melting temperature by about 1.5-7.0 degrees C. The cytotoxicity of these compounds on K-562, HL-60, Colo-205 and B16F10 melanoma are quite similar and IC(50) was in the range of 1.1-8muM. The anticancer efficacy against B16F10 melanoma has provided evidence of major anticancer activity for morpholino-PTQ. Single or multiple i.p. doses of compounds showed high level of activity against the subcutaneous (s.c.) grafted B16 melanoma with a significant increase in life span (161% and 272%). The aim of this study was to analyze the physicochemical properties of the chloro/morpholino-PTQ in an attempt to understand their superior biological activity. This research offers a new intercalation functional group to DNA targeted drug design.

Abstract

Ethylcarboxylate and acetyl selenoloquinoline derivatives were prepared in a one pot synthesis via reaction of sodium hydrogen selenide and 2-chloro-3-cyano-4-methylquinoline followed by reactions with ethyl chloroacetate and chloro acetone respectively which used as precursors to synthesize many of tetra and pentacyclic systems. A new series of pyrimido [4′,5′:4,5]selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline, thiazino[2’,3’:4,5]selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline, oxazino[2',3':4,5]selenolo[3,2-b]quinoline, pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline, pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline-2-substituted selenyl and selenolo[2′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2″,3″:4,5]selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives were prepared.

Synthesis of dithieno[2,3-b:4',3'-d]siloles and their selective bromination

The efficient synthesis of novel unsymmetrical dithienosiloles, 7,7-dimethyl-4,6-di(trimethylsilyl)-dithieno[2,3-b:4',3'-d]silole (1) and 7,7-dimethyl-2,4,6-tri(trimethylsilyl)-dithieno[2,3-b:4',3'-d]silole (2) has been developed by intramolecular silole formation with 4,4'-dibromo-2,2',5,5'-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)-[3,3']bithienyl (3) as the starting material in the presence of t-BuLi. Upon treatment with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) under controlled conditions, dithieno[2,3-b:4',3'-d]silole was selectively brominated to produce mono-, di-, and tribrominated dithieno[2,3-b:4',3'-d]siloles in good yields.

Thermolysis of benzannulated enyne-carbodiimides. Application in the synthesis of pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles and related heteroaromatic compounds

Several derivatives of the pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 4 and the pyrazino[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 14 were synthesized by treatment of the benzannulated enyne-isocyanates 8 with the iminophosphoranes 9 and 13, respectively, for the aza-Wittig reaction followed by thermolysis. The reaction presumably proceeds through an initial formation of the corresponding benzannulated enyne-carbodiimides, such as 10, followed by a formal intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction. Surprisingly, when the iminophosphorane 17 was used for condensation with 8, the expected pyrimido[1',6':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 16 were not obtained. Instead, the isomeric pyrimido[6',1':2,3]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 21 were isolated. Presumably, an alternative reaction pathway involving an initial [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction to form 19 followed by ring opening could lead to 20 and, after an intramolecular radical-radical coupling, 21. Treatment of the urea derivatives 24 with dibromotriphenylphosphorane also produced in situ the benzannulated enyne-carbodiimides 25, which on thermolysis gave the isoquinolino[2',1':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 26. Methylation of 4a, 14a, and 26a with methyl iodide occurred exclusively at the site of the indolo nitrogen. The planar geometry of those novel heteroaromatic compounds, resembling many DNA-binding agents, makes them potential candidates as DNA intercalators.

Facile synthesis of some novel pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazine-8-carboxylic acids

Model tetrahydropyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazines 9a-c were synthesized via reductive lactamization, using sodium dithionite, of the respective 2-[(carboxyalkyl)thio]-3-nitro-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acids 7a-c. The latter derivatives were made via interaction of 2-chloro-7-cyclopropyl-3-nitro-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid (6) with each of alpha-mercaptoacetic, alpha-mercaptopropionic, and alpha-mercaptosuccinic acids and triethylamine in aqueous acetone at room temperature. The structures of 7a-7c and 9a-9c are supported by microanalytical and spectral (IR, MS, NMR) data. Compounds 9a and 9c showed potent inhibitory activity against the IGROV1 (Ovarian Cancer) cell line.     

Condensed Thienopyrimidines. 14. Synthesis of 10H-Thiopyrano[4',3':4',5']thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazines

Reaction of a substituted 2-aminothienothiopyran with methyl(phenyl) isothiocyanate, intramolecular cyclization of the obtained N'-methyl(phenyl) thioureido derivatives, and work up of the cyclization products with hydrazine hydrate gave 2-hydrazinodihydrothiopyranothienopyrimidines. Treatment of the latter with pyruvic acid gave the novel 10H-thiopyrano[4',3':4',5']thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazines.     

An unusual arylation of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline

Treatment of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrimido[4,5-6 ]quinoline (II) with phosphorus oxychloride and a dialkylaniline resulted in the introduction of a p-dialkylaminophenyl group at position-5, and reduction of the central (pyridine) ring, as well as substitution of oxygen by chlorine at po-sition-4, forming compounds considered to be 4-chloro-5-(p-dialkylaminophenyl)-5, 10-dihydro-pyrimido[4,5-6 ]quinolines (XV). Several 4-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrimido[4,5-b ]quinolines having phenyl substituents at position-5 were synthesized unequivocally, and could be readily reduced to the corresponding 4-oxo-5-phenyl-3,4,5,10-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-6]quinolines, and the 4-oxo group replaced by chlorine, in the usual manner, leading to compounds related structurally to XV. Comparison of the chemical and physical properties of these compounds established the structure of XV, and a mechanism which rationalizes the formation of XV from II is presented.     

Synthesis and Properties of Substituted Isoxazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

We synthesized derivatives of a novel heterocyclic system, isoxazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine by sequential conversions in three steps: isomerization of 2-(2-R-ethylthio-2-oxo)-3-pyridyl cyanides obtained by alkylation from substituted 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones by -halomethyl ketones in alkaline medium, to form 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines; diazotization of the amino group followed by nucleophilic substitution of the diazonium group by an azido group, bypassing the step of isolating the diazonium salts; and thermolysis of the azides formed.

Synthesis,photochemical synthesis and antitumor evaluation of novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones

The novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were synthesized in multistep synthesis starting from thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde and malonic acid reacting in aldol condensation or from 3-bromothiophenes or methyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate reacting in Heck reaction. They resulted in corresponding substituted thienylacrylic acids 3a-c, which were cyclized into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 4a-c and converted into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carboxamides 5a-d. Prepared carboxamides were photochemically dehydrohalogenated into corresponding substituted thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a-d. Compound 7 was prepared from 6d by alkylation with N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]chloride hydrochloride in the presence of NaH. Compounds 10a and 10b were prepared from 6c in the multistep synthesis over acid 8 and acid chloride 9.

The compound 6b, which bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on quinolone nitrogen and methoxycarbonyl substituent on position 9, exhibited marked antitumor activity. On the contrary, compound 7, which also bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on the quinolone nitrogen but anilido substituent on position 9, exhibited less antitumor activity than the others.
