Use of a Pharmacophore Model for the Design of EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Isoflavones and 3-Phenyl-4(1H)-quinolones
摘要:
Using a pharmacophore model for ATP-competitive inhibitors interacting with the active site of the EGFR protein tyrosine kinase together with published X-ray crystal data of quercetin (2) in complex with the lick tyrosine kinase and of deschloroflavopiridol (3b) in complex with CDK2, a putative binding mode of the isoflavone genistein (1) was proposed. Then, based on literature data suggesting that a salicylic acid function, which is represented by the 5-hydroxy-4-keto motif in I, could serve as a pharmacophore replacement of a pyrimidine ring, superposition of 1 onto the potent EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor 4-(3'-chlorophenylamino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (4) led to 3'-chloro-5,7-clibydroxyisoflavone (fi) as a target structure which in fact was 10 times more potent than 1. The putative binding mode of 6 suggests a sulfur-aromatic interaction of the m-chlorophenyl moiety with Cys 773 in the "sugar pocket" of the EGFR kinase model. Replacement of the oxygen in the chromenone ring of 6 by a nitrogen atom further improved the inhibitory activity against the EGFR kinase. With IC50 values of 38 and 8 nM, respectively, the quinolones 11 and 12 were the most potent compounds of the series. N-Alkylation of II did not further improve enzyme inhibitory activity but; led to derivatives with cellular activity in the lower micromolar range.

7-hydroxy-isoflavones is reported. The acylation of resorcinol with various phenyl acetic acids in molten zinc chloride affords an intermediate deoxybenzoin which without isolation is subjected to cyclization with N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate and methanesulfonylchloride to afford the 7-hydroxy-isoflavone without the formation of any by-product.

Design, Synthesis, and Immunosuppressive Activity of New Deoxybenzoin Derivatives
In the search for potential immunosuppressive agents with high efficacy and low toxicity, a series of newdeoxybenzoins were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity and immunosuppressiveactivity. Among the synthesized compounds, four deoxybenzoin oximes (compounds 31, 32, 37, and 38) exhibited lower cytotoxicity and higher inhibitory activity toward anti‐CD3/anti‐CD28 co‐stimulated T‐cell
