Antimitotic and vascular disrupting agents: 2-Hydroxy-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzophenones
摘要:
2-Hydroxy-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzophenones (8-16) manifest pseudo-ring formation involving intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the 2-OH and the carbonyl group. Among the synthetic products described in this report, (3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)(2-hydroxy-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-methanone (14) and (3-amino-4-methoxyphenyl)(2-hydroxy-3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenyl)methanone (16) exhibit significant antiproliferative activity against KB cells with IC50 values of 11.1 and 11.3 nM, respectively. These two compounds also displayed tubulin affinity comparable to that of combretastatin A-4. In studies with human umbilical vein endothelial cells, compounds 14 and 16 revealed concentration-dependent vascular-disrupting properties. The results support the rationale of the pseudo-ring concept and suggest further investigation of A-ring modification in these benzophenones. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

A broad scope for the synthesis of 2′‐substituted benzophenones was established involving directing group (OH or NHTs) assisted C–H arylation of aryl aldehydes with arylhalides under rhodium‐catalyzed conditions.
