sativa L., has previously been demonstrated to exhibit antiproliferative activity in vitro against a range of cancers as well as the human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We describe here the synthesis of a series of analogues of TQ that explore the potential for nitrogen-substitution to this scaffold, or reduction to a hydroquinone scaffold, in increasing the potency of this antiproliferative activity
百里香酚(TQ),2-异丙基-5-甲基-1,4-苯醌是一种从Nigella sativa L.分离得到的天然产物,以前已被证明在体外对多种癌症和人类疟疾具有抗增殖活性。寄生虫恶性疟原虫。我们在这里描述了一系列TQ的类似物的合成,这些类似物探索了氮取代该支架或还原为对苯二酚支架的潜力,从而增加了这种抗增殖活性对卵巢癌细胞系和恶性疟原虫的效力。。另外,烷基或卤素取代的类似物是商业来源的,并进行平行测试。发现了几种具有改善的抗卵巢癌细胞和恶性疟原虫效力的TQ类似物,尽管这种增加被认为是中等程度的。强调了可以进一步探讨的结构活动关系的关键方面。
