Synthesis and Evaluation of Substituted Chroman-4-one and Chromone Derivatives as Sirtuin 2-Selective Inhibitors
摘要:
A series of substituted chromone/chroman-4-one derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated as novel inhibitors of SIRT2, an enzyme involved in aging-related diseases, e.g., neurodegenerative disorders. The analogues were efficiently synthesized in a one-step procedure including a base-mediated aldol condensation using microwave irradiation. The most potent compounds, with inhibitory concentrations in the low micromolar range, were substituted in the 2-, 6-, and 8-positions. Larger, electron-withdrawing substituents in the 6- and 8-positions were favorable. The most potent inhibitor of SIRT2 was 6,8-dibromo-2-pentylchroman-4-one with an IC50 of 1.5 mu M. The synthesized compounds show high selectivity toward SIRT2 over SIRT1 and SIRT3 and represent an important starting point for the development of novel SIRT2 inhibitors.

deaminative coupling reaction of 2′-hydroxyaryl ketones with simple amines to form 3-substituted flavanone products. The analogous deaminative coupling reaction of 2-aminobenzamides with branched amines directly formed 3,3-disubstituted quinazolinone products. The catalytic method efficiently installs synthetically useful flavanone and quinazolinone core structures without employing any reactive reagents.
