Compounds from Danshen. Part 4. Structure-activity relationship of miltirone, an active central benzodiazepine receptor ligand isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen)
摘要:
Twenty one o-quinonoid-type compounds and one coumarin-type compound related to miltirone (1) have been synthesized with the aim to identify the key structural elements involved in miltirone's interaction with the central benzodiazepine receptor. On the basis of their inhibition of [H-3]flunitrazepam binding to bovine cerebral cortex membranes, it is apparent that ring A of miltirone is essential for affinity. Although increasing the size of ring A from six-membered to seven- and eight-membered is well-tolerated, the introduction of polar hydroxyl groups greatly reduces binding affinity. The presence of 1,1-dimethyl groups on ring A is, however, not essential. On the other hand, the isopropyl group on ring C appears to be critical for binding as its removal decreases affinity by more than 30-fold. It can, however, be replaced with a methyl group with minimal reduction in affinity. Finally, linking ring A and B with a -CH2CH2- bridge results in analogue 89, which is 6 times more potent than miltirone at the central benzodiazepine receptor (IC50 = 0.05-mu-M).

the synthesis of such compounds is complex. Here we describe a novel method for the generation of 1,2-dione containing diterpenoids using a unified approach, by which boronic acids are joined to vinyl bromo-cyclohexene derivatives via Suzuki coupling, followed by electrocyclization and oxidation to the o-phenanthroquinones. This has allowed the construction of a panel of miltirone analogues containing

Rosmariquinone (1) and six analogues were chemically synthesized using an ultrasound-promoted Diels-Alder cycloaddition in yields of 35-90%. The analogues included substitution of the isopropyl at carbon 13 (C-13) with a hydrogen (5), methyl (6), or tert-butyl (4) substituent. The hydrogen-substituted analogue had the lowest yield at 35%, due in part to the instability of the compound to air, while the highest yields were achieved for the methyl (85%) and tert-butyl (90%) analogues. The 60% yield obtained for the C-14 methyl analogue (7; no C-13 isopropyl) may have been caused by the meta-substituted catechol inhibiting the cycloaddition. The final two analogues were ring A modifications and included the removal of one C-4 methyl (3; 80% yield) or both C-4 methyl (2; 85% yield) groups. The analogues were tested against rosmariquinone in light-sensitized oxidation of stripped soybean oil. Analogues 5 and 6 were significantly (P < 0.05) better antioxidants than rosmariquinone and all other analogues. The antioxidant properties of compounds 2-7 were not significantly different (P < 0.05) from each other while compounds 2 and 4 had significantly (P < 0.05) lower antioxidant activity than rosmariquinone. This study demonstrated the importance of structural characteristics of antioxidants and that natural antioxidants, such as rosmariquinone, can be improved through chemical modification.
