Cyclopent[a]anthraquinones as DNA-Intercalating Agents with Covalent Bond Formation Potential: Synthesis and Biological Activity
摘要:
A series of mitomycin C (MMC) analogues, namely cyclopentanthraquinone derivatives, were synthesized via Diels-Alder cyclization of naphthoquinone with 1-vinylcyclopent-1-enes. These new compounds are planar structures, like MMC, and bear an aziridine ring and a methyl carbamate side chain. After bioreduction, they are anticipated to be capable of intercalating into double-stranded DNA and bind covalently. Structure-activity relationships were studied. Of these compounds, 2,3-aziridino-4-[[(methylamino)carbonyl]methyl]cyclopent[a]anthracene-6,11-dione (4) was shown to have inhibitory activity against several leukemic and solid tumor cell lines. Mice (BDF1) bearing Lewis lung adenocarcinoma were treated with 4 and MMC (ip, QD x 5). At a dose of 30.0 mg/kg, compound 4 was as effective as MMC (0.8 mg/kg). Compound 4 appears to be less toxic than MMC. DNA unwinding assay indicated that 4 is able to intercalate into DNA double strands and is also a topoisomerase II inhibitor.
A formalsynthesis of pseudolaric acid B, a diterpene isolated from the root bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon (Pinaceae), to Trost’s synthetic intermediate was achieved in 17 steps from a known ketone. Key features of this synthesis include a Claisen rearrangement and iodoetherification to construct quaternary stereocenters and ring-closing metathesis to form the seven-membered ring.

A concise synthesis of the tricyclic furanochroman unit 3 found in the PAF antagonist phomactin A (1) isolated from the marine fungus Phoma sp., is described. In complementary studies, a variety of synthetic routes towards the bicyclo[9.3.1]pentadecaneringsystem 4 in phomactin A were explored. These studies culminated in a synthesis of the substituted ringsystem 79 containing all the carbon atoms

The first totalsynthesis of trichoaurantianolides C and D is described. An enantiocontrolled pathway leads to rapid construction of the tricyclic carbon skeleton and establishes the trans-dimethyl geometry of the quaternary bridgehead carbons via a reductive cyclization. Application of the π-allyl Stille cross-coupling leads to a nonracemic allylic alcohol as a prerequisite for the introduction of

The totalsynthesis of the title compound (1), starting with (R)-(−)-α-phellandrene (6), has been accomplished. The synthesis rigorously proves the relative stereochemical relationship of the diterpenoid and carbohydrate domains of eleutherobin. Key reactions included a Nozaki−Kishi ring closure to produce a furanophane (see 37 → 38), a pyranose to furanose transposition (see 50 → 47), and a novel
