Synthesis, structure proof, and biological activity of epothilone cyclopropanes

[structure--see text] A semisynthetic route to epothilone cyclopropanes from epothilones A and B is described. Of significance, the deoxygenation of the 12, 13-epoxide to give the corresponding olefin was achieved with high efficiency. The title compounds (8, 9) were active in both tubulin polymerization and cytotoxicity assays, which is in direct contrast to a previously published report. These results provide further evidence that the role of the 12,13-epoxide of epothilones is largely conformational and argue against some of the current pharmacophore models.     

Synthesis and biological activity of novel phenyltriazolinone derivatives

Phenyltriazolinones are one of the most important classes of herbicides targeting the protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme. A series of triazolinone derivatives containing a strobilurin pharmacophore were designed and synthesized with the aim of discovering new phenyltriazolinone analogues with high activity. The herbicidal activity of the synthesized compounds was assayed and some of the test compounds displayed moderate herbicidal activity at 150 g ai/ha.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of fluorescently labeled epothilone analogs for tubulin binding studies

The two fluorescently labeled epothilones 14 and 15 have been synthesized using a modification of Nicolaou's macrolactonization and Stille coupling strategy. The cytotoxicities of the compounds were 6.1 and 2.7 μg/mL, respectively, against the A2870 ovarian cancer cell line, and 0.5 and 1.0 μg/mL, respectively, against the PC-3 prostate cancer cell line. The critical concentration of tubulin was 0.5 and 1.0 μM in the presence of 14 and 15, respectively, compared with 0.3 μM for paclitaxel. The fluorescent properties of the two molecules in solution and bound to microtubules are described.

Synthesis and biological activity of novel N-substituted 4-amino-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline compounds

A series of N-substituted 4-amino-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline derivatives has been synthesized from 4-chloro-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline and aryl (or benzyl) amines using 2-propanol as a solvent. The starting material 4-chloro-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline has been synthesized from natural gallic acid by a novel route. Their structures have been verified by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The title compounds have been evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against some cancer cells by the MTT method. Unfortunately, most of the compounds tested have exhibited a weaker anticancer activity than the reference standard drug PD153035. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, 1521–1531, September, 2007.

Synthesis and biological activity of novel mitomycin C analogs derived from mitomycin A

A variety of mitomycin C analogs were synthesized from mitomycin A and their biological activities were studied. Mitomycin A ( 1 ) underwent nucleophilic displacement reactions involving intramolecular hydrogen migrations upon treatment with nitrogen nucleophiles bearing mobile hydrogens, but the mode of hydrogen migration depended on the nature of the nucleophiles. The reaction with alkoxyamines gave compounds 6 and 7 which have the 5H-6-alkoxyimino-4,7-dione structure in ring A of 1 . However, the reaction with hydroxylamine and benzoylhydrazine afforded compounds 11 and 13 which have the 4-hydroxy-6-hydroxyimino-7-one structure and the 4-hydroxy-6-hydrazono-7-one structure, respectively, in ring A of 1 . These products were converted into various types of mitomycin C derivatives by methylation with methyl iodide or dimethyl sulfate. The mechanistic features of these reactions are discussed. The in vitro and in vivo biological activities were tested by using P388 leukemia and Sarcoma 180 tumor cells. Several of the synthesized compounds exhibited better activity than that of mitomycin C.

Synthesis of novel 3-deoxy-3-C-triazolylmethyl-allose derivatives and evaluation of their biological activity

Recently, monosaccharide-triazole conjugates have proved to possess a large variety of useful biological activities. This paper describes synthesis of a new series of 3-deoxy-3-C-triazolylmethyl-allose derivatives. These new compounds are obtained from acetonide-protected 3-deoxy-3-azidomethyl allose and commercial alkynes via Cu(I) catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The obtained molecular scaffolds differ from those described earlier by the presence of a methylene linker (-CH₂-) between the C(3) of allose and the triazole moiety. It was demonstrated that acetonide-protected monosaccharide, 3-deoxy-3-C-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-allofuranose, inhibited α-L-fucosidase for 26% at 0.1 mM concentration, but a deprotected analog, 3-deoxy-3-C-(4-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-β-d-allofuranose, showed 15% inhibition of β-glucosidase at 1 mM concentration.

Noncyclic polyether-amino acid Schiff base con- taining some O and N atoms is a new important bio- logical ligand and it shows some interesting biological properties, such as antibacterial, antiphlogistic, anti- cancer and high catalytic activities[1―3], so the chemi- cal behavior of their transition metal complexes has drawn our attention[4]. We report here the synthesis of the title Cu(II) complex with polyether–phenylalanine Schiff base and its characterization by elemental analysis, I…
