Synthesis and structure–activity studies of antofine analogues as potential anticancer agents
摘要:
Due to the profound cytotoxicities and interesting biochemical aspects, phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids have received an attention as potential therapeutic leads. To define the features of the molecule that are essential for cytotoxicity, we have synthesized and evaluated a series of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid, antofine, analogues with different substituents on the phenanthrene ring. The systematic structure activity relationship studies elucidate the essential functional group requirement of phenanthrene ring, providing the basis for further development of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids.

The asymmetric total synthesis of the strongly cytotoxic phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid 3 was achieved. Using the same route, various derivatives were also synthesized. Cytotoxicity of those synthetic compounds was evaluated and compounds 19, 23, and 27 demonstrated potent cytotoxicities similar to that of 3. The in vivo antitumor efficacy of selected compounds was also evaluated and 23 demonstrated moderate antitumor efficacy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
