The tetrahydropyran 4-(((3-(2,2-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-phenylbutyl)amino)methyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline was reported to disrupt the SCFSKP2 E3 ligase complex. Efficient syntheses of this tetrahydropyran derivative and analogues, including the des-dimethyl derivative 4-(((3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-phenylbutyl)amino)methyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline, are described. The enantiomers of the des-dimethyl compound were obtained using Evans’ chiral auxiliaries. Structure–activity relationships for these tetrahydropyrans and analogues have been determined by measurement of growth-inhibitory activities in HeLa cells, which indicated a non-specific mechanism of action that correlates with inhibitor lipophilicity. However, preliminary data with (R)- and (S)-4-(((3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-phenylbutyl)amino)methyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline showed enantioselective inhibition of the degradation of p27 in a cell-based assay that acts as a reporter of SKP2 activity.
据报道,四氢吡喃 4-(((3-(2,2-二甲基四氢-2H-吡喃-4-基)-4-苯基丁基)氨基)甲基)-N,N-二甲基苯胺能破坏 SCFSKP2 E3 连接酶复合物。本文介绍了这种四氢吡喃衍生物及其类似物(包括去二甲基衍生物 4-(((3-(四氢-2H-吡喃-4-基)-4-苯基丁基)氨基)甲基)-N,N-二甲基苯胺)的高效合成。利用 Evans 手性助剂获得了去二甲基化合物的对映体。通过测量 HeLa 细胞中的生长抑制活性,确定了这些四氢吡喃及其类似物的结构-活性关系,结果表明其非特异性作用机制与抑制剂的亲脂性有关。不过,(R)- 和 (S)-4-(((3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-phenylbutyl)amino)methyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline 的初步数据显示,在一种作为 SKP2 活性报告物的基于细胞的检测中,对映选择性地抑制了 p27 的降解。
