Convergent synthesis of stereoisomers of THF ring moiety of acetogenin thiophene analogue and their antiproliferative activities against human cancer cell lines

The convergent synthesis of thiophene-3-carboxamide analogues of annonaceous acetogenins was accomplished through the asymmetric alkynylation of a 2-formyl THF ring fragment with an alkyne having a thiophene ring as the key step. Eight stereoisomers of the THF ring moiety were synthesized by this convergent route and their antiproliferative activities against 39 human cancer cell lines were evaluated. It was revealed that derivatives having the threo configuration between C17–C18 positions showed more potent activities than the corresponding erythro ones.     

Design,synthesis and antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines of novel benzo-, benzofuro-, azolo- and thieno-1,3-thiazinone resorcinol hybrids

In this paper we report the design and synthesis of novel derivatives of the 4H-3,1-benzothiazinone type and heterocyclic analogues, i.e. benzofuro-, azolo- and thieno-1,3-thiazin-4-ones possessing 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl substituent. The compounds were obtained by the one-step reaction of aminobenzamides or heterocyclic aminocarboxamides with aryl-modified sulfinylbis[(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methanethione]. Evaluation of their antiproliferative potency against human cancer cell lines showed that the activity of some analogues was similar to that of cisplatin. The highest activity and low toxicity were found for 6-tert-butyl-2-(5-chloro-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4H-thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazin-4-one. The structure–activity elucidation reveals that the most active compounds are those with a thienothiazin-4-one and benzofuro[3,2-d][1,3]thiazin-4-one skeleton and the presence of the hydrophobic substituent (Et, Cl) in the benzenediol moiety increases their antiproliferative potency. The ADMET properties of selected compounds including metabolic stability and toxicity profile were estimated in silico.

3D-QSAR Study on a Series of Indolo[1,2-b]quinazoline Derivatives with Anticancer Activity and their Molecular Design

Indolo[1,2-b]quinazoline derivatives have recently been reported as a type of compound with potential anticancer activity. On the basis of our the published two-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (2D-QSAR) of these compounds, a further study on the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) was carried out using the method of comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). A reasonable, receivable, and an effective 3D-QSAR model has been established, in which the correlation coefficient (r²) and cross-validation coefficient (q²) values are 0.986 and 0.695, respectively, the statistical squared deviation ratio (F) is 114.6, and the standard deviation (SD) is 0.084. The results suggest that the electrostatic effect of substituent R₁ and steric effect of substituent R₂ play a very important role in the improvement of the anticancer activity of these compounds. In this article, some significant conclusions, which are in good agreement with the conclusions obtained using 2D-QSAR, were drawn as follows. (1) The electrostatic effect in the substituent R₁ part plays a major role, and it is very important to make the first atom of R₁ carrying more positive charges in order to improve the anticancer activity of the compounds. (2) The steric effect plays a major role in the substituent R₂ part, and the volume of R₂ should be moderate. Based on the above conclusions, three new molecules of Indolo[1,2-b]quinazoline derivatives with higher anticancer activity have been theoretically designed and are waiting for support from experiment. The QSAR results can offer a theoretical reference for the pharmaceutical synthesis.
