A palladium-catalyzed direct addition of arylboronic acids to unprotected 2-aminobenzonitriles has been developed, leading to a wide range of 2-aminobenzophenones with moderate to excellent yields. The transformation has broad scope and high functional group tolerance. Moreover, 2-oxoindoline-7-carbonitrile and indole-7-carbonitrile were applicable to this process for the construction of 7-benzoyl-2-oxoindolines and 7-benzoylindoles, respectively. Among the compounds examined, compound 4e possessed the most potent anticancer activity against H446 and HGC-27 in vitro, with IC50 values of 0.02 μmol L−1 and 0.09 μmol L−1, respectively, while compound 4a showed the best potent anticancer activity against SGC-7901 with an IC50 value of 0.01 μmol L−1. Furthermore, we also performed in silico molecular docking calculations to investigate the interaction mode and binding affinity between the examined compounds and their tubulin target.
开发了一种钯催化的芳基硼酸与未保护的2-氨基苯腈直接加成反应,得到了一系列中等至优异收率的2-氨基二苯甲酮。该反应具有广阔的应用范围和高度的官能团耐受性。此外,2-氧代吲哚啉-7-腈和吲哚-7-腈也适用于该过程,分别用于构建7-苯甲酰基-2-氧代吲哚啉和7-苯甲酰基吲哚。在检测的化合物中,化合物4e对H446和HGC-27细胞具有最强的体外抗癌活性,IC50值分别为0.02 μmol L−1和0.09 μmol L−1,而化合物4a对SGC-7901细胞显示出最佳的抗癌活性,IC50值为0.01 μmol L−1。此外,我们还进行了计算机分子对接计算,以研究检测化合物与其微管蛋白靶点之间的相互作用模式和结合亲和力。
