Synthetic Models Related to Methoxalen – CYP2A6 Interactions. Dimethoxybenzofuran Derivatives as Potent and Selective Inhibitors of CYP2A6
摘要:
The human CYP2A6 enzyme metabolizes several xenobiotics including nicotine, the addictive component in tobacco. Reduced activity of CYP2A6, either for genetic reasons or by administering inhibitors of CYP2A6, reduces tobacco smoking. The reported compound methoxalen had a potent inhibitory effect on activity of CYP2A6 with an IC50 value of 1.27 mu M. We selected methoxalen as a lead compound and prepared various dimethoxybenzofuran derivatives that have inhibitory effects on activity of human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6. Synthetic benzofuran derivatives (3,6-dimethoxybenzofuran: IC50=1.92 mu M and 3,7-dimethoxybenzofuran: IC50=2.00 mu M) also exhibited comparable activities against CYP2A6 and were selective inhibitors of CYP2A6. These compounds can be used as lead compounds in the development of drugs for smoking reduction therapy.

synthesis of the geometrically less stable Z-enol ethers is challenging. An efficient Z-selective oxidative isomerization process of allyl ethers catalyzed by a cobalt(II) (salen) complex using N-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Me3NFPY•OTf) as an oxidant has been developed. Thermodynamically less stable Z-enol ethers were prepared in excellent yields with high geometric control.

A chemical equilibration study of the relative thermodynamic stabilities of seventy isomeric allyl aryl ethers (a) and (Z)-prop-1-enyl aryl ethers (b) in DMSO solution has been carried out. From the variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature the Gibbs energies, enthalpies, and entropies of isomerization at 298.15 K have been evaluated. Because of their low enthalpies, the (Z)-prop-1-enyl aryl ethers are strongly favored at equilibrium, the Gibbs energies of the a→b isomerization ranging from −12 to −23 kJ mol−1. The entropy contribution is negligible in most reactions, but occasionally small positive values less than +10 J K−1 mol−1 of the entropy of isomerization are found. The equilibration studies were also extended to involve two pairs of related isomeric ethers with a Me substituent on C(2) of the olefinic bond. The Me substituent was
found to increase the relative thermodynamic stability of the allylic ethers by ca. 3.4 kJ mol−1.
Allyl arylethers and allyl phenol derivatives were prepared starting from commercial or synthetized phenols. Either Williamson reaction or Et2AlCl catalyzed Claisen rearrangement was performed to obtain the polyoxygenated molecules. The pivotal allyl phenols were then modified by methylation, iodocyclization or electrophilic aromatic iodination to afford the polyoxygenated derivatives in good to excellent

text]. We herein report the development of one-pot procedures for the conversion of allyl aryl ethers to 2-methylbenzofurans (via sequential Claisenrearrangement and oxidative cyclization) and for the conversion of aryl homoallyl ethers to chromenes (via direct oxidative cyclization). It is likely that both reactions proceed via a common Pd-catalyzed pathway involving olefin activation, nucleophilic
