A new class of analog of the bifunctional radiosensitizer .alpha.-(1-aziridinylmethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol (RSU 1069): the cycloalkylaziridines
摘要:
A series of compounds related to alpha-(1-aziridinylmethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol (RSU 1069, 1) were synthesized and evaluated as selective hypoxic cell cytotoxic agents and as radiosensitizers. The aziridine moiety was replaced with a number of other potential alkylating groups including cycloalkylaziridines and azetidines. The data indicated that modification of the aziridine of 1 resulted in a substantial decrease in the ability of the compounds to selectively kill hypoxic cells. However, these modifications did not affect the compounds' in vitro radiosensitizing activity since many of the derivatives were as potent as 1. All of the compounds that were evaluated in vivo were less toxic than 1, and several members of this series had significant activity. The best compound was trans-alpha-[[(4-bromotetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)amino]methyl]-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol (18), which, due to its activity and log P value, is a candidate for additional in vivo studies.
These efforts revealed that lipase from Candida antarctica type B was an efficient biocatalyst. A combination of both chemoenzymatic methodologies has allowed us to obtain the four different enantiopure cis- and trans-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)cycloalkanamine isomers.

Taurine and substituted taurines were synthesized efficiently from aziridines via ring-opening reaction with thioacetic acid, oxidation with performic acid, and hydrolysis in hydrochloric acid. The current method shows more benefit in purification and efficiency in the preparation of taurine and structurally diverse 2-substituted, 2,2-disubstituted, and 1,2-, 2,2-, and 2,N-alkylene taurines.

bonds with aziridines using diboron derivatives continues to be a particularly challenging field in view of the direct preparation of functionalized β-aminoboronates, which are important compounds in drug discovery, being a bioisostere of β-aminoacids. We now report experimental and computational data that allows the individuation of the structural requisites and of reaction conditions necessary to open
