Potential antitumor agents. 55. 6-Phenylphenanthridine-4-carboxamides: a new class of DNA-intercalating antitumor agents
摘要:
Derivatives of the DNA-intercalating agent N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]phenanthridine-4-carboxamide have been prepared and shown to have moderate in vivo antitumor activity against both the P388 leukemia and Lewis lung carcinoma. This demonstrates that the effective pharmacophore in the broad class of tricyclic carboxamides is not limited to linear tricyclic chromophores. Both 7 and the 6-phenyl derivative 10 have identical DNA binding properties, suggesting that the phenyl ring of 10 is not involved in the DNA intercalation site. A series of phenyl-substituted derivatives of 10 was evaluated. Aza substituents led to compounds with the highest in vivo cytotoxicity and in vivo P388 activity, but the in vivo solid tumor activity of the substituted 6-phenylphenanthridine-4-carboxamides was in general low.
An efficient palladium-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution/C–H activation/aromatization cascade reaction between readily available 2-halo-N-Ms-arylamines (Ms = methanesulfonyl) and benzyl halides/sulfonates has been described. A wide variety of phenanthridines were synthesized in a one-pot fashion in moderate to high yields (37–86 %). Notably, this method provides a straightforward, facile approach

Metal-Free Photoredox Catalyzed Cyclization of O-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)oximes to Phenanthridines
A metal-free visible-light photoredox-catalyzed intermolecular cyclization reaction of O-2,4-dinitrophenyl oximes to phenanthridines was developed. In this study, the organic dye eosin Y and i-Pr₂NEt were used as photocatalyst and terminal reductant, respectively. The oxime substrates were transformed into iminyl radical intermediates by single-electron reduction, which then underwent intermolecular

A silver-mediated oxidative difluoromethylation of phenanthridines and 1,10-phenanthrolines with TMSCF2H is disclosed. This C―H difluoromethylation of N-containing polycyclic aromatics constitutes an efficient method for the regioselective syntheis of difluoromethylated N-heterocycles.
A facile and practical palladium-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution/C–H activation/aromatization cascade reaction has been developed. A range of 6-unsubstituted phenanthridines could be obtained in moderate to good yields (31–85%) with readily prepared N-Ms arylamines and commercially available 2-bromobenzyl bromide derivatives as starting materials. The potential application of the protocol was also
