Potential antitumor agents. 55. 6-Phenylphenanthridine-4-carboxamides: a new class of DNA-intercalating antitumor agents
摘要:
Derivatives of the DNA-intercalating agent N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]phenanthridine-4-carboxamide have been prepared and shown to have moderate in vivo antitumor activity against both the P388 leukemia and Lewis lung carcinoma. This demonstrates that the effective pharmacophore in the broad class of tricyclic carboxamides is not limited to linear tricyclic chromophores. Both 7 and the 6-phenyl derivative 10 have identical DNA binding properties, suggesting that the phenyl ring of 10 is not involved in the DNA intercalation site. A series of phenyl-substituted derivatives of 10 was evaluated. Aza substituents led to compounds with the highest in vivo cytotoxicity and in vivo P388 activity, but the in vivo solid tumor activity of the substituted 6-phenylphenanthridine-4-carboxamides was in general low.

An improved photochemical method for producing the prolifically bioactive phenanthridine system is reported. A wide variety of derivatives were obtained in two steps in yields ranging from 31 to 95%.

A practical route to the labile tetracyclic isoxazolo[4,3,2-de]phenanthridinone moiety of the antifungal parnafungins has been developed. Zinc reduction of a methyl 2'-hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-3-biphenylcarboxylate, which was prepared by a Suzuki coupling, afforded a benzisoxazolone that was treated with MsCl and base to generate the labile tetracyclic ring system in 37-47% yield. This compound decomposes to the phenanthridine in CDCl3 and the phenanthridine N-oxide in aqueous base.

A convergent, practical route to unstable hexacyclic parnafungin A and C models has been developed. Two iodoxanthones were prepared in four or five steps (33-50% overall yield). Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of the iodoxanthones with excess readily available 3-carbomethoxy-2-nitrophenyl pinacol boronate afforded the hindered highly functionalized 2-arylxanthones (53-58%) in the first key step. In the second key step, zinc reduction gave benzisoxazolinones that were treated with MsCl and then base to generate the unstable hexacyclic parnafungin A (13% overall yield for 8 steps) and C (8% overall yield for 9 steps) models. Analogously to the parnafungins, hexacyclic parnafungin C model decomposes to a phenanthridine with a half-life of 2 d in CDCI3.
