Synthesis and biological evaluation of new tetrahydro-β-carbolines as inhibitors of the mitotic kinesin Eg5
摘要:
The mitotic kinesin Eg5 (or KSP) is a crucial player in the development and function of the mitotic spindle. Inhibition of this protein leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis without interfering with other microtubule-dependent processes. Therefore, it is a potential target in cancer therapy. Here, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a small library of molecules based on the structure of the known Eg5 inhibitor HR22C16. One of these derivatives (compound trans-24) proved to be a potent and specific Eg5 inhibitor. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Using the Pictet–Spenglerreactions of tryptophan with aldehydes under acidic conditions at ambient temperature, diastereoisomers of 1,3-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines could readily be furnished in short time (0.5–4 h) with good to excellent yields (50–98%). Though intrinsically slow in reaction rates, ketone reactions can be accelerated (from days to minutes) using microwaves in open

Phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is a promising target for new anticancer treatment. Herein, we report our work in the discovery of novel drug-like PC-PLC inhibitors. Virtual screening led to the identification of promising hits from four different structural series that contain the molecular scaffold of benzenesulphonamides (10), pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (22), morpholinobenzoic acid (84) and benzamidobenzoic acid (80). 164 structural analogues were tested to investigate the chemical space around the hit series and to generate preliminary structurally activity relationships (SAR). Two of the pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (22_10 and 22_15) had comparable or better potency as D609, an established but non-drug-like PC-PLC inhibitor. Furthermore, three morpholinobenzoic acids (84, 84_4 and 84_5) had superior potency than D609. Therefore, this study paves the way towards the development of drug-like PL-PLC inhibitors as potential anticancer agents. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Chlorotrimethylsilane has been found to be an efficient condensing agent in the Pictet-Spengler reaction, affording an extremely straightforward synthetic route to tetrahydro-beta-carboline derivatives and their analogs. The applicability of the method has been studied, and a representative library of structurally diverse products has been created..
