The 14-fluoroanthracyclines (5-10) carrying L-daunosamine, D-2-deoxyribose, or L-2-deoxyfucose as their glycosidic sugar moieties, were synthesized starting from (-)-7-deoxy-4-demethoxydaunomycinone ((R)-11a) or (-)-7-deoxydaunomycinone ((R)-11b). As key steps, the synthetic route features a novel fluorination reaction in which tetrabutylammonium fluoride is employed in the presence of a half equivalent of p-toluenesulfonic acid, and the previously explored glycosidation reaction in which trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is utilized as an activating reagent. In P388 in vivo tests, 5, 6, 9, and 10 exhibited prominent cytotoxicity comparable with that of adriamycin (1). Notable antitumor activity was also observed for 6 and 9 in P388 in vivo tests.
以(-)-7-脱氧-4-去甲氧基大芸霉素酮((R)-11a)或(-)-7-脱氧大芸霉素酮((R)-11b)为出发点,合成了以L-脱
氨基糖、
D-2-脱氧核糖或
L-2-脱氧岩藻糖为糖苷键的14-
氟蒽环类化合物(5-10)。作为关键步骤,该合成路线采用了新颖的
氟化反应,即在
对甲苯磺酸的半当量存在下使用
四丁基氟化铵,以及之前探索过的糖苷化反应,即使用三甲基
硅基
三氟甲磺酸盐作为活化试剂。在 P388 体内试验中,5、6、9 和 10 表现出与
阿霉素(1)相当的显著细胞毒性。在 P388 体内试验中,还观察到 6 和 9 具有显著的抗肿瘤活性。
