Synthesis and antimetastatic properties of stereoisomeric tricyclic bis(dioxopiperazine) analogs in a B16 melanoma model
摘要:
The synthesis for trans and cis tricyclic bis(dioxopiperazine)s 5 and 6 from pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxamide (7) is described. Stereoselective antimetastatic activity differences for these analogues were observed following pretreatment of B16-F10 melanoma cells in vitro. Activities for these isomers were compared with selected intermediates, and the data are discussed in relation to previous results obtained with cis- and trans-cyclopropane analogues.
