Synthesis of a series of nitrothiophenes with basic or electrophilic substituents and evaluation as radiosensitizers and as bioreductively activated cytotoxins
摘要:
A series of 2- and 3-nitrothiophene-5-carboxamides bearing N-(omega-aminoalkyl) side chains has been prepared by treatment of the thiophenecarbonyl chloride with the appropriate (protected) omega-aminoalkylamine. Analogous N-(oxiranylmethyl)nitrothiophene-5-carboxamides have been synthesized by epoxidation of the corresponding N-allylamide. Compounds in both classes were evaluated in vitro both as radiosensitizers of hypoxic mammalian cells and as selective bioreductively activated cytotoxins. The most potent radiosensitizers were those agents with strong tertiary amine bases or oxiranes in the side chain. Studies in vivo showed that 2-methyl-N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-3-nitrothiophene-5-carboxamide caused slight radiosensitization of the KHT sarcoma in mice given 0.34 mmol kg-1. However, administration of this and related tertiary amines at higher doses was precluded by systemic toxicity.

By employing a series of reactions we demonstrate the use of electroosmotic flow as a continuous pumping mechanism suitable for semi-preparative scale synthesis, affording an array of small organic compounds, of analytical purity, with yields ranging from 0.57–1.71 g h−1.

Through incorporating a series of polymer-supported acid catalysts into a miniaturised EOF-based flow reactor, we demonstrate a clean and efficient technique for the protection of aldehydes as their respective dimethyl acetal. In addition, we also report the acid catalysed deacetalisation of 11 dimethyl acetals to their respective aldehyde. In all cases, the compounds described are obtained in high yield (> 95%) and excellent purity (> 99%) without the need for further product purification. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
