Syntheses and Antimalarial Activities of N-Substituted 11-Azaartemisinins
摘要:
A two-step reaction sequence between artemisinin and methanolic ammonia followed by treatment with Amberlyst 15 yielded 11-azaartemisinin in 65% yield. Substituting a variety of primary alkyl- and heteroaromatic amines for ammonia in the reaction sequence yields N-substituted 11-azaartemisinins in similar or greater yield. When Amberlyst 15 is replaced by a mixture of sulfuric acid/silica gel, both 11-azaartemisinin and the expected metabolite, 10-azadesoxyartemisinin, are formed in 45% and 15% yields, respectively. In vitro and in vivo test data for a number of novel N-substituted 11-azaartemisinins, against drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, show they possess antimalarial activities equal to or greater than that of artemisinin. The most active derivative, N-(2'-acetaldehydo)-11-azaartemisinin, 17, was 26 times more active in vitro and 4 times more active in vivo than artemisinin.

Reaction of artemisinin (1) with ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, and allylamine afforded five unexpected products 2-6, in addition to the previously reported compounds 7-12. The identities of the new compounds were established from their spectral data, by chemical derivatization and by comparison with published reports. The stereochemistries of compounds 5 and 6 were confirmed by single-crystal
