Synthesis,In Silico and In Vivo Toxicity Assessment of Functionalized Pyridophenanthridinones via Sequential MW-Assisted Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts Alkylation and Direct C–H Arylation

A rapid, efficient, and original synthesis of novel pyrido[3,2,1-de]phenanthridin-6-ones is reported. First, the key cinnamamide intermediates 8a–f were easily prepared from commercial substituted anilines, cinnamic acid, and 2-bromobenzylbromide in a tandem amidation and N-alkylation protocol. Then, these N-aryl-N-(2-bromobenzyl) cinnamamides 8a–f were subjected to a TFA-mediated intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation followed by a Pd-catalyzed direct C–H arylation to obtain a series of potentially bioactive 4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-6H,8H-pyrido[3,2,1-de]phenanthridin-6-one derivatives 4a–f in good yields. Finally, the toxicological profile of the prepared final compounds, including their corresponding intermediates, was explored through in silico computational methods, while the acute toxicity toward zebrafish embryos (96 hpf-LC₅₀, 50% lethal concentration) was also determined in the present study.     

桂皮酰胺类化合物分子形状与抗惊活性定量构效关系的研究

采用分子形状分析法研究了26个桂皮酰胺类化合物的结构与抗惊活性的定量关系。相关方程表明抗惊活性与化合物的脂水分配系数(log P)及重叠的表面积(S_0)呈抛物线关系,与酰胺基团的 C—O 键长和 C—N 键长的乘积(代表酰胺基团的面积)呈线性关系。
