摘要:
Ring-opening coupling reactions of (3R,4S)-1-(BOC)-B-t-3-silyloxy-4-substituted-azetidin-2-ones with lithium enolates of ketones and esters take place smoothly to give the corresponding hydroxy(keto)ethylene dipeptide isosteres in high yields.
Novel C-seco-taxoids possessing high potency against paclitaxel-resistant cancer cell lines overexpressing class III β-tubulin
摘要:
Novel C-seco-taxoids were synthesized from 10-deacetylbaccatin III and their potencies evaluated against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cancer cell lines. The drug-resistant cell lines include ovarian cancer cell lines resistant to cisplatin, topotecan, adriamycin and paclitaxel overexpressing class III beta-tubulin, A2780TC1 and A2780TC3. The last two cell lines were selected through chronic exposure of A2780wt to paclitaxel and Pgp blocker cyclosporine. All novel C-seco-taxoids exhibited remarkable potency against A2780TC1 and A2780TC3 cell lines, and no cross resistance to cisplatin- and topotecan-resistant cell lines, A2780CIS and A2780TOP. Four of those C-seco-taxoids exhibit much higher activities than IDN5390 against paclitaxel-resistant cell lines, A2780ADR, A2780TC1 and A2780TC3. SB-CST-10202 possesses the best all-round high potencies across different drug-resistant cell lines. Molecular modeling studies, including molecular dynamics simulations, on the drug-protein complexes of class I and III beta-tubulins were performed to identify possible cause of the remarkable potency of these C-seco-taxoids against paclitaxel-resistant cell lines overexpressing class III beta-tubulin.

A series of second-generation taxoids bearing a substituent on the C-2-benzoyl group and modifications at C-3'/C-10 positions was synthesized. These taxoids exhibited 2-3 orders of magnitude higher potency than that of paclitaxel against drug-resistant human breast cancer cell lines. It is also noteworthy that three taxoids showed almost no difference in activity against drug-resistant and drug-sensitive

Novel second-generation taxoids with systematic modifications at the C2, C10, and C3'N positions were synthesized and their structure-activity relationships studied. A number of these taxoids exhibited exceptionally high potency against multidrug-resistant cell lines, and several taxoids exhibited virtually no difference in potency against the drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cell lines. These exceptionally potent taxoids were termed "third-generation taxoids". 19 (SB-T-1214), 14g(SB-T-121303), and 14i (SB-T-1213031) exhibited excellent activity against paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines with mutations in beta-tubulin as well, wherein the drug resistance is mediated by the beta-tubulin mutation. These taxoids were found to possess exceptional activity in promoting tubulin assembly, forming numerous very short microtubules similar to those formed by discodermolide. Taxoids 19 and 14g also showed excellent cytotoxicity against four pancreatic cancer cell lines, expressing three to four multidrug-resistant genes. Moreover, taxoid 19 exhibited excellent in vivo efficacy against highly drug-resistant CFPAC-1 pancreatic as well as DLD-1 human colon tumor xenografts in mice.

Several new nonaromatic taxoids are synthesized by means of the beta-lactam synthon method. These include taxoids modified with 3-methylbut-2-enoate, 3-methylbutanoate, and cyclohexanecarboxylate groups in place of the benzoate at the C-2 position. In addition, taxoids with 2-methylprop-1-enyl, 2-methylpropyl, (E)-prop-1-enyl, and cyclohexyl groups at the C-3' position are also prepared in combination with the modifications at C-2. The alkyl and alkenyl ester groups at C-2 displayed pronounced effects on the in vitro cytotoxicity. Two of the fully aliphatic taxoids possess similar or stronger activity than paclitaxel and docetaxel. It is clear that the 2-benzoate does not play a unique role, and replacement with the appropriate alkyl and alkenyl groups provides taxoids with equivalent or superior activity.

Novel ring-opening coupling reactions of enantiomerically pure (3R,4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-hydroxy beta-lactams 1 with various (S)-amino acid esters 2 including proline methyl ester proceed smoothly at ambient temperature to give the corresponding dipeptides 3 bearing the norstatine residue and its analogs in excellent yields. This new coupling method is applicable to solid-phase peptide syntheses.

A series of novel nor-seco taxoids (4a-b, 5a-d, 6), including either a C-13 ester linkage or a C-13 amide linkage, was synthesized by means of the p-lactam synthon method using the coupling of (3R,4S)-1-acyl-beta-lactams with properly protected nor-seco baccatin III derivatives (1, 2, 3) as the key step. Nor-seco baccatin III derivatives were prepared through oxidative cleavage of the A ring of 14 beta-hydroxy-10-deacetylbaccatin III followed by reduction, amination using Mitsunobu conditions, or reductive amination. Nor-seco taxoids with a C-13 ester linkage (4a-b) or a C-13 N-Me amide linkage (6) show reduced cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines as compared with paclitaxel, but still retain a certain level of activity despite the destruction of the taxane A ring. However, none of the analogues with a C-13 N-H amide linkage (5a-d) exhibit appreciable activity (IC50 > 1.0 mu M). A restrained molecular dynamics study reveals the inability of 5a-d to attain the proposed bioactive conformation, which accounts for the loss of activity.
