Quantum-chemical investigation of the mechanism of trans-cis photoisomerization of 4-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)vinyl]-6,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile
摘要:
A quantum-chemical investigation has been carried out by the semiempirical AM1 method of the trans-cis photoisomerization mechanism of 4-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)vinyl]-6,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetra- hydropyridine-3-carbonitrile. It was shown that the isomerization process proceeds in the excited singlet state S-1 by rotation of the 2-chlorophenyl substituent around the C(2)-C(3) bond. Electronic absorption spectra of the isomers were calculated by the INDO/S method Transitions caused by exitation of an electron from HOMO to LUMO were characterized by the greatest intensity.
Synthesis and cytotoxicity of phenyl-vinyl derivatives of 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile
摘要:
A series of phenylvinyl derivatives of 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitriles has been synthesized and their cytotoxic activity towards HT-1080 (human fibrosarcoma) and MG 22A (mouse hepatoma) tumor cells studied. It was found that the 2-nitro-, 2- and 3-chloro, 2-fluoro, and 2-bromophenyl derivatives showed high cytotoxic activity towards both cell lines. The toxicity towards NIH 3T3 normal mouse embryonic fibroblasts depends on the nature and position of the substituent in the phenyl ring. The greatest selectivity of cytotoxic effect was seen in the 2-bromophenyl derivative.
