Synthesis and Antiplasmodial Activity of Aminoalkylamino-Substituted Neocryptolepine Derivatives
摘要:
A series of chloro- and aminoalkylamino-substituted neocryptolepine (5-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as antiplasmodial agents. The evaluation also included cytotoxicity (MRCS cells), inhibition of beta-hematin formation, and DNA interactions (DNA-methyl green assay). Introduction of aminoalkylamino chains increased the antiplasmodial activity of the neocryptolepine core substantially. The most efficient compounds showed antiplasmodial activities in the nanomolar range. N-1,N-1-Diethyl-N-4-(5-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b]quinolin-8-yl)pentane-1,4-diamine 11c showed an IC50 of 0.01 mu M and a selectivity index of 1800.
Highly efficient one-pot synthesis of D-ring chloro-substituted neocryptolepines via a condensation—Pd-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation strategy
D-ring chloro-substituted neocryptolepines have been synthesized in excellent yield starting from 3-bromo-2-chloro-1-methylquinolinium triflate via a one-pot condensation Pd-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation strategy involving chloroanilines. The 3-bromo-2-chloro-1-methylquinolinium triflate was obtained via methylation of commercial 3-bromo-2-chloroquinoline with methyl triflate. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
