The invention provides processes of preparing 3-substituted 1-(chloromethyl)- 1,2-dihydro-3H-[ring fused indol-5-yl(amine-derived)] compounds of formula (I) and its analogues, or a physiologically functional derivative thereof, (I), wherein A and B together may represent a fused optionally substituted benezene, naphthalene, pyridine, furan or a pyrrole ring, where the optional substituents are represented by Y; X is halogen or OSO2R, and W is selected from NO2, NHOH, N(R3)2NHR3, NHCO2R3, N(phthaloyl) or NH2, or W is further selected from the group (a), wherein J is selected from OH or H, and P is a group which is a substrate suitable for a nitroreductase or carboxypeptidase enzyme. The invention is also directed to the use of compounds of formula (I) prepared by the processes of the invention as cytotoxins for cancer therapy and as prodrugs for gene-directed enzyme-prodrug therapy (GDEPT) and antibody-directed enzyme-prodrug theraphy (ADEPT).
本发明提供了制备式(I)及其类似物或生理功能衍生物的3-取代-1-(氯甲基)-1,2-二氢-3H-[环融合吲哚-5-基(氨基衍生物)]化合物的过程,其中A和B可一起表示融合的可选取代苯、萘、吡啶、呋喃或吡咯环,其中可选的取代基由Y表示;X为卤素或OSO2R,且W从NO2、NHOH、N(R3)2NHR3、NHCO2R3、N(phthaloyl)或NH2中选择,或者W进一步从(a)组中选择,其中J从OH或H中选择,P是适用于硝基还原酶或羧肽酶酶的底物基团。本发明还涉及使用本发明的化合物(I)的制备过程作为癌症治疗的细胞毒素,以及作为基因定向酶前药治疗(GDEPT)和抗体定向酶前药治疗(ADEPT)的前药。
