Rhein analogues that exhibit anti-proliferative activity, particular against cancer cells, are described herein. In some embodiments, the compounds contain a flat or planar ring system. Such rings system by facilitate non-covalent binding of the compounds to the DNA complex, such as by intercalation. In some embodiment, the compounds contain a flat or planar ring system as described above and one or more substituents which are alkylating moieties, electrophilic groups or Michael acceptors or groups which contain one or more alkylating moieties, electrophilic groups and/or Michael acceptors. The compounds described herein can also contain one more functional groups to improve the solubility of the compounds.
本文描述了一些具有抗增殖活性的莱茵类似物,特别是对癌细胞。在某些实施例中,化合物含有一个平坦或平面环系统。这种环系统可以促进化合物与DNA复合物的非共价结合,例如通过插入作用。在某些实施例中,化合物包含如上所述的平坦或平面环系统和一个或多个取代基,这些取代基是烷基化合物、亲电性基团或迈克尔受体或含有一个或多个烷基化合物、亲电性基团和/或迈克尔受体的基团。本文所描述的化合物还可以含有一个或多个功能基团,以提高化合物的溶解度。
