Synthetic methods for the preparation of ARQ 501 (β-Lapachone) human blood metabolites
摘要:
ARQ 501 (3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-naphthol[1,2-b]pyran-5,6-dione), a synthetic version of beta-Lapachone, is a promising anti-cancer agent currently in multiple Phase II clinical trials. Promising anti-cancer activity was observed in Phase I and Phase II trials. Metabolism by red blood cells of drugs is an understudied area of research and the metabolites arising from oxidative ring opening (M2 and M3), decarbonylation/ ring contraction (M5), and decarbonylation/ oxidation (M4 and M6) of ARQ 501 offer a unique opportunity to provide insight into these metabolic processes. Since these metabolites were not detected in in vitro incubations of ARQ 501 with liver microsomes and were structurally diverse, confirmation by chemical synthesis was considered essential. In this report, we disclose the synthetic routes employed and the characterization of the reference standards for these blood metabolites as well as additional postulated structures, which were not confirmed as metabolites.

In this study, we describe the synthesis of a series of alpha- and beta-lapachone containing hydroxyl or methoxyl groups on the benzene ring, by means of the selective acid promoted cyclization of the appropriate lapachol analog. The evaluation of the antiproliferative activity in human solid tumor cell lines provided 7-hydroxy-beta-lapachone as lead with enhanced activity over the parent drug beta-lapachone. Cell cycle studies, protein expression experiments, and reactive oxygen species analysis revealed that, similarly to beta-lapachone, ROS formation and DNA damage are critical factors in the cellular toxicity of 7-hydroxy-beta-lapachone.
