7H-Pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazoline-1,3-diamine (1) is a privileged chemical scaffold with significant biological activities. However, the currently accessible chemical space derived from 1 is rather limited. Here we expanded the chemical space related to 1 by developing efficient methods for regioselective monoacylation at N1, N3 and N7, respectively. With this novel methodology, a focused library of mono-N-acylated pyrroloquinazoline-1,3-diamines was prepared and screened for anti-breast cancer activity. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) results showed that N3-acylated compounds were in general more potent than N1-acylated compounds while N7-acylation significantly reduced their solubility. Among the compounds evaluated, 7f possessed 8-fold more potent activity than 1 in MDA-MB-468 cells. More importantly, 7f was not toxic to normal human cells. These results suggest that 7f is a novel compound as a potential anti-breast cancer agent without harming normal cells.
Various approaches have been used to modulate the fluorescence changes of sensors in the presence of target analytes, including intramolecular interaction between fluorophores or between fluorophore and other molecular species, like resonance energy transfer (RET). Here, we focus on fluorescence quenching by intramolecular heterodimer complex formation, which can be modulated over a shorter distance range than RET. We synthesized several conjugates of tricarbocyanine, which is a near-infrared fluorophore, with several quencher candidates via flexible short linker structure, and examined their fluorescence properties. Of our synthesized compounds, the dabcyl group proved to be the best quencher via heterodimer complex formation. The fluorescence of tricarbocyanine–dabcyl conjugates in aqueous media was almost completely quenched, and there was a dramatic fluorescence enhancement when heterodimer formation was blocked. These results suggested a design approach to develop fluorescence sensors for probing proximity relationships and structural transitions.

6-aminohexanoic acid, followed by deprotection of the t-Boc groups with 4 N HCl in dioxane. Acylation of this symmetric diamine with N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of appropriately substituted benzoic acids, followed by reduction of the resultant tetraamides with diborane in refluxing THF, afforded the target compounds. The BXT analog lacking the benzylic group (i.e., compound 11) had no [3H]NPY displacement activity

A process for converting an aryl triflate, heteroaryl triflate, aryl halide or heteroaryl halide to an N-hydroxysuccinimido este is disclosed. The process involves reacting the triflate or halide with carbon monoxide and N-hydroxysuccinimide in a solvent in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a base.
