Tumor-Targeting with Novel Non-Benzoyl 6-Substituted Straight Chain Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine Antifolates via Cellular Uptake by Folate Receptor α and Inhibition of de Novo Purine Nucleotide Biosynthesis
摘要:
A new series of 6-substituted straight side chain pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 3a-d with varying chain lengths (n = 5-8) was designed and synthesized as part of our program to provide targeted antitumor agents with folate receptor (FR) cellular uptake specificity and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFTase) inhibition. Carboxylic acids 4a-d were converted to the acid chlorides and reacted with diazomethane, followed by 48% HBr to generate the alpha-bromomethylketones 5a-d. Condensation of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine 6 with 5a-d afforded the 6-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 7a-d. Hydrolysis and subsequent coupling with diethyl L-glutamate and saponification afforded target compounds 3a-d. Compounds 3b-d showed selective cellular uptake via FR alpha and -beta, associated with high affinity binding and inhibition of de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis via GARFTase, resulting in potent inhibition against FR-expressing Chinese hamster cells and human KB tumor cells in culture. Our studies establish, for the first time, that a side chain benzoyl group is not essential for tumor-selective drug uptake by FR alpha.

antibacterial activity was determined as the minimum inhibitory concentration against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms using a standard Agar dilution procedure. Compounds possessing an acid functionality directly on, or close to, the ring were found to be of greatly decreased potency, while increasing lipophilicity with greater chain length led to increased potency of these derivatives
