Structure-Based Design of Substituted Diphenyl Sulfones and Sulfoxides as Lipophilic Inhibitors of Thymidylate Synthase
摘要:
Six new diphenyl sulfoxide and five new diphenyl sulfones were designed, synthesized, and tested for their inhibition of human and Escherichia coli thymidylate synthase (TS) and of the growth of cells in tissue culture. The best sulfoxide inhibitor of human TS was 3-chloro-N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-4-(phenylsulfinyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)-aniline (7c) that had a K-i of 27 nM. No sulfone improved on TS inhibition by the previously reported 4-(N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-N-prop-2-ynylamino)phenyl phenyl sulfone (K-i = 12 nM). Nevertheless, one sulfone, 4-((2-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl)-N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)analine, was selected, on the basis of its inhibition of both TS and cell growth, for antitumor testing; it gave a 61% increase in life span to mice bearing the thymidine kinase-deficient L5178Y (TK-) lymphoma. A crystal structure of N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-4-((2-methylphenyl)sulfinyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)aniline complexed with E. coli TS was solved and revealed selective binding of one sulfoxide enantiomer. AMBER calculations showed that the enantioselection was due to asymmetric electrostatic effects at the mouth of the active site. In contrast, a similar crystal structure of the sulfoxide 7c, along with AMBER calculations, indicated that both enantiomers bound, but with different affinities. The side chain of Phe176 shifted in order to structurally accommodate the chlorine of the more weakly bound enantiomer.

We describe a practical protocol for efficiently preparing diaryl sulfide compounds using Cu–OMS-2 as the catalyst. Cu–OMS-2 originates from manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves modified with copper ions and catalyzes the C–S coupling reaction of substituted thiophenols and arylhalides. This protocol has the advantages of environmental friendliness, simple operation, high yields, good tolerance

In this work, we present a novel, efficient and green methodology for the synthesis of thioethers by the C–Scross-couplingreaction with the assistance of [Ce(L-Pro)2]2Ox as a heterogeneous catalyst in good to excellent yields. A scale-up of the protocol was explored using an unpublished methodology for the synthesis of a dapsone-precursor, which proved to be very effective over a short time. The
