Synthesis,Antitumor Activity,and SAR of N-Substituted γ-Aminopropylsilatrane Derivatives

Abstract

γ-Aminopropylsilatrane has been reported to possess biological activity against tumor cancer cells with low cytotoxicity in many kinds of silatranes. So some N-substituted γ-aminopropylsilatrane derivatives were synthesized and assayed by a primary anticancer screening against HT-29, Hela, and MDAMB435 cells by the use of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by ¹H NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The structure–activity relationship showed that the N-substituted derivatives exhibit better activity in which the γ-amino group of the silatrane is connected with stronger electron-withdrawing groups.

Synthesis,Structure–Activity Relationship of Some New Triorganotin(IV) Derivatives of Dipeptides as Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Abstract

New triorganotin(IV) derivatives of dipeptides with general formulae, R₃Sn(HL), where R = Me and Ph, and HL is the monoanion of histidinylalanine and histidinylleucine, have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of infrared (IR), multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn), and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies. These derivatives exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around tin in which dipeptide anion acts as bidentate ligand coordinating through carboxyl oxygen and amino nitrogen. Ph₃Sn(HHis-Ala),

Ph₃Sn(HHis-Leu), and previously reported Ph₂Sn(His-Ala), Me₂Sn(His-Ala), n-Oct₂Sn(His-Ala), Me₂Sn(His-Leu), n-Oct₂Sn(His-Leu), Ph₃Sn(HTyr-Phe), Ph₂Sn(Tyr-Phe), Bu₂Sn-(Tyr-Phe), and n-Oct₂Sn(Tyr-Phe) along with standard drugs, viz. phenyl butazone and indomethacin were screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and acute toxicity (LD₅₀). Diorganotin(IV) derivatives are more active than triorganotin(IV) derivatives. Me₂Sn(His-Leu) shows the highest activity.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Isosteviol Derivatives

Isosteviol (ent-16-ketobeyeran-19-oic acid, I) is a tetracyclic diterpenoid with a beyerane skeleton obtained by acid hydrolysis of stevioside.1 Several tetracyclic diterpenoids, specially the kaurenes, have important biological activities. Recent studies on the microbial transformation of isosteviol have revealed that it is metabolized by Cunninghamella bainieri, Actinoplanes sp., Mucor recurvatus, and Cunninghamella blackesleeana to yield five new metabolites.2 The hydroxylation pattern of…     

Synthesis and Structure Elucidation of Celangulin Derivatives

Celangulins are sesquiterpene polyol esters based on a core structure known as β-dihydroagarofuran from Celastrus angulatus Max. Some of them are environment acceptable-pesticides. In order to find new active compounds and study their SAR, sesquiterpene polyol esters libraries were synthesized based on the basic hydrolysis of the extract of the root bark of Celastrus angulatus which could offer the β-dihydroagarofuran polyol by combinatorial chemical method and the compounds with insecticidal activity were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation. Two new compounds with insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata, were isolated and elucidated as 2β,6α,8β, 13-tetraisobutanoyloxy-1β,4,9α-trihydroxy-β-dihydroagarofuran (A) and 1β,2β,6α,8β, 13-pentaisobutanoyloxy-4α,9α-dihydroxy-β-dihydroagarofuran (B) mainly by 1H NMR, 13C NMRH-HCOSY, HMQC, HMBC and HRMS spectral data. A: [α]20D -7.3 (c 0.12, CHCl3), B: [α]20D -34.6 (c 0.8,CHCl3).

Synthesis of 4(3H)-Quinazolinone Derivatives and Their in vitro Antitumor Activity

Classical antifolates containing L-glutamic acid moiety in molecule have shortcomings such as drug resistance which is originated from the defective cell transport by mutation, and toxicity to the host which is due to unnecessarily long retention inside normal cells.[1] One strategy to overcome these shortcomings is to design nonclassical lipophilic inhibitors of folate requiring enzymes by deleting or modifying L-glutamic acid component from the folate analogues.

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu,1)1 is an important antitumor drug. Some derivatives2,3 have shown better therapeutic efficacy than 5-Fu. In order to find much more better antitumor drugs of its derivatives, several attempts have been made and many different types of its derivatives have been prepared at N1, N3 position4~7. Moreover, several different ways have been used for alkylation of 5-Fu7~10. However, up to now, the arylation of 5-Fu at N1 or N3 position hasn't been reported, and the compound o…
