Synthesis and DNA Cleavage Activity of 4,2’:4’,4’’:2’’,4’’’-Quaterthiazoles
摘要:
A series of 4,2':4',4 '':2 '',4"'-quaterthiazole derivatives (2) were readily synthesized via a novel five-steps reaction. The key reaction involved the condensation of 1,4-dibromobutane-2,3-dione with two equimolar amounts of 2-(Boc-protected aminoalkyl)-thiazole-4-carbothioamide. The obtained 2,2"'-bis-(3,6-diazahexyl)- and 2,2"'-bis(3,6,9-triazanonyl)-4,2':4',4 '':2 '',4"'-quaterthiazole (2b and 2c) exhibited significant affinity for double-stranded DNA, such as calf thymus DNA, as well as marked DNA cleavage activity in the presence of Co(II) ions under physiological conditions. Furthermore, the formation of a Co(II)-complex with 2b and 2c was found to be necessary for the DNA cleavage activity.
