Phosphine-Catalyzed Synthesis of 3,3-Spirocyclopenteneoxindoles from γ-Substituted Allenoates: Systematic Studies and Targeted Applications
摘要:
The phosphine-promoted [3 + 2] cyclizations between gamma-substituted allenoates and arylideneoxindoles have been applied to the stereoselective synthesis of spiro(cyclopentene)oxindoles with trisubstituted cyclopentene units. It has been demonstrated that PPh3 operates a very efficient control of the relative stereochemistry of the three stereogenic centers of the final spiranic products. Focused experiments have been carried out then so as to access carbocyclic analogues of an important series of anticancer agents inhibiting MDM2-p53 interactions.

Triphenylphosphine promoted reactions between 3-arylideneoxindoles and (delta-aryl-substituted penta-2,3-dienoates afford an unprecedented access to spirocyclic oxindoles with functionalized six-membered rings. In these new [4 + 2] cyclization processes, the allenoates operate as the four-carbon synthons, thanks to the involvement of the substituted (delta-carbons. These reactions give excellent control of the relative stereochemistry of the three stereogenic centers. The stereochemistry of the final product has been ascertained by X-ray diffraction studies.
Inhibition of p53-Murine Double Minute 2 (MDM2) Interactions with 3,3′-Spirocyclopentene Oxindole Derivatives
3,3'-Spirocyclopentene oxindoles structurally related to Wang's spiropyrrolidine oxindoles have been highlighted as a new class of antiproliferative agents against cancer cell lines with wild-type p53 status (IC50 up to 0.96 mu M on SJSA-1 and 2.9 mu M in HCT116 p53-wt). Inhibition of the MDM2-p53 interactions has been demonstrated through in vitro HTRF assays (IC50 up to 3.1 nM), while Western blot analysis showed activation of p53 selectively in HCT116 cancer cell lines with wild-type p53.
