Synthesis of the Fjord-region cis- and trans-Amino Triol Derivatives of the Carcinogenic Hydrocarbon Benzo[g]chrysene and Utilization for the Synthesis of a Deoxyadenosine Adduct Linked to the N6-Amino Group
摘要:
Efficient syntheses of the complete set of four diastereomeric fjord-region amino triol derivatives of benzo[g]chrysene in which the amino group in the 14-position and the adjacent 13-hydroxyl group are trans or cis to one another (trans- and cis-5 and 6) is described. This is the first description of the syntheses of the bay- or fjord-region cis-amino triol derivatives of any carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH). The amino triols are key synthetic precursors of PAH-oligonucleotide adducts in which the PAH moiety is covalently linked to the exocyclic amino groups of deoxyadenosine or deoxyguanosine. Formation of adducts of this type via reaction of a PAH diol epoxide metabolite with DNA is believed to be a critical step in the mechanism of PAH carcinogenesis. The synthetic amino triol isomers may be used to synthesize PAH-oligonucleotides needed for site-directed mutagenesis studies to relate isomer structural differences to their effects on DNA replication.
Efficient Syntheses of the anti- and syn-Diol Epoxide Metabolites of the Carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Benzo[g]chrysene
摘要:
Two new synthetic approaches to the active fjord region anti- and syn-diol epoxide metabolites (3a and 3b) of the potent carcinogenic hydrocarbon benzo[g]chrysene are described. The first of these methods entails initial synthesis of the key intermediate 12-hydroxybenzo[g]chrysene which is transformed in two steps to trans-11,12-dihydroxy-11,12-dihydrobenzo[g]chrysene, the synthetic precursor of 3a and 3b. The second method involves in the key step oxidative photocyclization of a 1,2 diarylethylene having methoxy groups at appropriate sites for subsequent conversion to the dihydrodiol function. These methods allow efficient preparative scale synthesis of the benzo[g]chrysene diol epoxides required as starting compounds for the synthesis of specifically alkylated benzo[g]chrysene-oligonucleotide adducts needed for site-directed mutagenesis and other studies to elucidate molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis.
