Anti-proliferative activity of 2,6-dichloro-9- or 7-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-9H- or 7H-purines against several human solid tumour cell lines
摘要:
As leads we took several benzo-fused seven- and six-membered scaffolds linked to the pyrimidine or purine moieties with notable anti-proliferative activity against human breast, colon and melanoma cancerous cell lines. We then decided to maintain the double-ringed nitrogenous bases and change the other components to the ethyl acetate moiety. This way six purine and two 5-fluorouracil derivatives were obtained and evaluated against the MCF-7, HCT-116, A-375 and G-361 cancer cell lines. Two QSARs are obtained between the anti-proliferative IC50 values for compounds 26-33 and the clog P against the melanoma cell lines A-375 and G-361. Our results show that two of the analogues [ethyl 2-(2,6-dichloro-9H- or 7H-purine-9- or 7-yl)acetates (30 and 33, respectively)] are potent cytotoxic agents against all the tumour cell lines assayed, showing single-digit micromolar IC50 values. This exemplifies the potential of our previously reported purine compounds to qualify as lead structures for medicinal chemistry campaigns, affording simplified analogues easy to synthesize and with a noteworthy bioactivity. The selective activity of 30 and 33 against the melanoma cell line A-375, via apoptosis, supposes a great advantage for a future therapeutic use. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Under the assistance of beta-cyclodextrin, purine was effectively alkylated at N9 together with up to 99% conversion and good to excellent yield using water as the solvent. High regioselectivity-N9/N7 selectivity>99:1 was attributed to the beta-cyclodextrin cavity blocked the N7 of purines ring. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Alkylation of 6-chloropurine using ethyl bromoacetate gives a mixture of regioisomers from which the title compound, C9H9ClN4O2, was isolated in crystalline form. The ethyl acetate fragment attached at N7 avoids steric hindrance by emerging from the ring almost orthogonally. Two ring C atoms donate weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds to the carbonyl O12 and ring N3 atoms.
