2-Pyrones possessing antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities
摘要:
The 2-pyrone sub-unit is found in a number of natural products possessing broad spectrum biological activity. Such compounds are validated as being capable of binding to specific protein domains and able to exert a remarkable range of biological effects. In an effort to identify synthetic 2-pyrones with interesting biological effects, herein we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-substituted-6-methyl-2-pyrones. Synthetic routes to 4-alkyl/alkenyl/aryl/alkynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones have been developed utilising Sonogashira, Suzuki and Negishi cross-coupling starting from readily available 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone. Specific conditions for each organometallic protocol were required for successful cross-coupling. In particular, a triethylamine/acetonitrile-base/solvent mixture was crucial to Sonogashira alkynylation of 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone, whereas thallium carbonate was a mandatory base for the Suzuki cross-coupling of trialkylboranes. The 2-pyrones demonstrate potent inhibitory activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Botrytis cinerea. The growth inhibitory activities of selected 2-pyrones were determined in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma and K562 human chronic myelogenous leukaemia cell lines using an in vitro cell culture system (MTT assay). These studies demonstrate that 4-phenylethynyl-, 4-tetrahydropyranylpropargyl ether- and 4-ethynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones have excellent potential as a new class of anticancer agents.

A biosynthesis of the structurally complex nonadride CP-225,917 (1) is outlined. A key step in this proposal is the dimerization of a C(16) anhydride derived from the condensation of lauric acid and oxaloacetic acid. An important element of this step is a templating effect imposed by two thioester linkages, reminiscent of a polyketide or fatty acid synthase pathway. On the basis of this principle,

Copper-mediated tandem vicinal difunctionalisation of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, followed in selected cases by oxidation of one of the substituents, provides a versatile and rapid route to a variety of natural and unnatural disubstituted maleic anhydrides.

We herein report the efficient syntheses of biologically active 4-alkenyl- and 4-alkynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones using Pd-catalysed coupling procedures. A palladium on carbon/triphenylphosphine combination is shown to be the most effective catalyst for Sonogashira cross-coupling of several terminal acetylenes with 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone in yields of up to 95%.

Suzuki cross-coupling has been used to access a wide range of 3- and 5-substituted 2-pyrones, which show remarkable inhibitory activity against bacteria, yeasts and fungi. 3-Octenyl and 5-octenyl 2-pyrones inhibit human ovarium carcinoma (A2780) and human chronic myelogenous leukaemia (K562) cell lines at the micromolar level.
