Discovery of structurally simplified analogs of colchicine as an immunosuppressant
摘要:
We have discovered a new class of colchicine-derived therapeutic agents for immune diseases including rejection of organ-transplantation and autoimmune disease. Compound 2, which had been developed to overcome poor pharmacokinetic properties of compound 1, a first-generation colchicine analog, turned out to show toxicity such as intestinal toxicity and loss of weight during in vivo tests. The deletion of 7-carboxamide group and middle ring-truncation in colchicine allowed us to have structurally simplified analogs with strong immunosuppressive activity. Herein, we report non-alkaloid tricyclic compound 7 and 12 as immunosuppressants which exhibited a strong immunosuppressive in vivo efficacy on the T-dependent antibody response, the Zymosan A-induced arthritis model and the Carrageenan-induced edema model. Compound 7 and 12 revealed less toxicity than the previous lead compound 2, and their minimum lethal doses (MLD) were proved to exceed 100 mg/kg. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Efforts Directed toward the Synthesis of Colchicine: Application of Palladium-Catalyzed Siloxane Cross-Coupling Methodology
摘要:
Colchicine is an important and synthetically challenging natural product. The key synthetic step in this approach to the synthesis of colchicine involved a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between 5-bromotropolone (4) and an aryl siloxane to form the aryl-tropolone bond. The coupling of a variety of highly functionalized aryl siloxane derivatives was investigated and optimized coupling conditions were developed. It was discovered that a palladium catalyst with a high degree of phosphine ligand coordination (5 equiv of phosphine/mol Pd) was necessary to efficiently couple aryl siloxanes with 5-bromotropolone (4). In addition, the coupling approach has provided a direct comparison between siloxane and boronic acid coupling technologies that demonstrated that aryl siloxanes and boronic acids produce similar yields of highly functionalized biaryl products.

Abstract The use of 5‐iodo‐2‐methoxytropone in palladium(0)‐catalyzed coupling reactions with a variety of arylboronic acids has resulted in significantly improved reaction yields and times for a sterically and electronically diverse series of novel 5‐aryltropones. In addition, the required 5‐iodo‐2‐methoxytropone was conveniently synthesized in excellent yield.

The present invention is directed to compounds which are conjugates of two non-toxic natural products, noscapine (and various noscapine analogs) and folic acid (and various folic acid analogs), where the folic acid is conjugated to noscapine or the noscapine analog at the 9-position on the isoquinoline ring on the noscapine framework. Pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of treating various tumors using the compounds and compositions, are also disclosed. The conjugates are particularly useful for treating cancers which overexpress the Folate Receptor α (FRa) receptor.
