Reprint of “Effect of carbohydrate amino group modifications on the cytotoxicity of glycosylated 2-phenyl-benzo[b]thiophenes and 2-phenyl-benzo[b]furans” [Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 21 (2011) 2591–2596]
摘要:
In previous studies, we have identified a family of benzo[b]furan and benzo[b]thiophene derivatives linked to amino sugars (1-6) that are cytotoxic to a range of cancer cell lines. We describe here an exploration of the effect of structural modification of the amino group on one of the carbohydrate residues (4-amino-2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-alpha-L-threo-hexopyranoside) on in vitro cytotoxicity. It has been found that maintaining at least one basic functional group around the C-4 position in the carbohydrate moiety is crucial for cytotoxicity. Furthermore, it appears that modifications around the C-4 position are limited by suitable hydrophilic/hydrophobic and/or ionic interactions, as well as steric constraints. (c) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
