Design, synthesis and evaluation of structurally diverse chrysin-chromene-spirooxindole hybrids as anticancer agents
摘要:
A series of structurally diverse chrysin-chromene-spirooxindole hybrids were designed, synthesized via a Knoevenagel/Michael/cyclization of chrysin and isatylidene malononitrile derivatives through utilizing a hybrid pharmacophore approach. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity, and most of the compounds showed stronger anti-proliferative activity than parent compound chrysin. In particular, compound 3e had the highest cytotoxicity towards A549 cells (IC50 = 3.15 +/- 0.51 mu M), and had better selectivity in A549 cells and normal MRC-5 cells. Furthermore, compound 3e could significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as well as induce the apoptosis possibly through mitochondria-mediated caspase-3/8/9 activation and multi-target co-regulation of the p53 signaling pathway. Thus, our results provide in vitro evidence that compound 3e may be a potential candidate for the development of new anti-tumour drugs.

A lanthanide silylamide-catalyzed tandem reaction of isatins, diethyl phosphite, and 2,3-diarylcyclopropenones has been developed. A series of pyrano[2,3-b]indol-2-ones were synthesized in high yields. The cooperation of the Lewis acidity of the lanthanide center and the Bronsted basicity of the N(SiMe3)2 anion may be the key factor affecting the catalytic activity of lanthanide amides.

A highly efficient method for the synthesis of N-alkyl isatins starting from N-alkyl 2-bromo or 2-chloro acetanilides is described. The starting materials are easy to prepare and the yields of isatins are generally high. Operationally the reaction is very simple to run. Even though best results were obtained with a catalytic amount of CuI, the reactions of N-alkyl 2-bromo acetanilides actually performed well even in the absence of any metal catalyst.
A catalytic asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction has been achieved through hydrogen-bond directed gamma-addition of olefinic azlactones to isatins. This methodology provides an efficient access to spirooxindole dihydropyranones in moderate to good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.
A novel and temperature-controlled oxidation of α-hydroxyamides in the presence of IBX is described. The divergent one-pot synthesis of isatins and α-formyl amides was achieved in good to excellent yields under metal-free conditions. And these two mild methods can tolerate a variety of functional groups, and are operationally simple.
A novel and efficient synthesis of isatins from α-hydroxyamides via ruthenium-mediated aromatic C–H activation is described. The reactions proceeded smoothly under mild conditions and generated the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This methodology has a broad substrate scope and opens up an interesting and attractive avenue for the application of intramolecular ortho-C–H activation
