Benzofuran derivatives as a novel class of inhibitors of mTOR signaling
摘要:
High-throughput screening (HTS) hit 1 was previously identified as an inhibitor of the Akt/mTOR (Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling, which is a major target in oncology. The cytotoxicity of 1 was determined on a panel of human cancer cells lines with an IC50 comprised between 30 and 140 mu M. Subsequent structure activity relationship (SAR) studies led us to the identification of compounds that displayed an enhanced cytotoxicity. We demonstrated also that these molecules directly bind to mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and inhibit its kinase activity. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Disclosed herein is an efficient synthetic route for the synthesis of functionalized 2-benzyl benzo[b]furans via a regioselective 5-exo-trig intramolecular oxidative cyclization of ortho-cinnamyl phenols using [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] as catalyst and benzoquinone as an oxidant. Further, a sequential ortho-cinnamylation of phenols using cinnamyl alcohols catalyzed by Re2O7, followed by an oxidative cyclization
