Unsymmetrical DNA Cross-Linking Agents: Combination of the CBI and PBD Pharmacophores
摘要:
A set of 10 compounds, each combining the seco-1,2,9,9a-tetrahydrocyclopropa[c]benz[e]indol-4-one (seco-CBI) and pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) pharmacophores, was designed and prepared. These compounds were anticipated to cross-link between N3 of adenine and N2 of guanine in the minor groove of DNA. The compounds, which differ in the chain length separating the two alkylation subunits, and the configuration of the CBI portion, showed great variation in cellular toxicity (over 4 orders of magnitude in a cell line panel) with the most potent example exhibiting IC50S in the pM range. Cytotoxicity correlated with the ability of the compounds to cross-link naked DNA. Cross-linking was also observed in living cells, at much lower concentrations than for a related symmetrical PBD dimer. A thermal cleavage assay was used to assess sequence selectivity, demonstrating that the CBI portion controlled the alkylation sites, while the PBD substituent increased the overall efficiency of alkylation. Several compounds were tested for in vivo activity using a tumor growth delay assay against WiDr human colon carcinoma xenografts, with one compound (the most cytotoxic and most efficient cross-linker) showing a statistically significant increase in survival time following a single iv dose.

agonists might have beneficial effects in the centralnervoussystem (CNS) and therefore, 5-HT4 antagonists might cause CNS side effects. In this study, we have developed new amphoteric 5-HT4 antagonists. A series of cyclic indole amide derivatives possessing an oxazine ring and a piperidine alkane carboxylic acid side chain and the corresponding prodrug esters were synthesized and their binding to 5-HT4

receptors, their preparation and use, compositions containing them, and methods of treatment using them.
Novel modulators of 5-HT4 receptors have been developed which have a selectivity for peripheral receptors rather than those of the central nervous systems. Theses include novel derivatives of known modulators as well as entirely novel entities. Surprisingly, the derivatised compounds of the known modulators maintain a high binding affinity to 5-HT4 receptors, despite the presence of an acidic moiety at the end of an optional chain. The entirely novel entities also exhibit good binding affinity to 5-HT4 receptors. All of the compounds of the invention have a common motif which includes a basic nitrogen moiety and an acidic moiety. The compounds of the invention, due at least in part to their high ionisation potential at physiological pH, have the unique properties of selectively for peripheral 5HT4 receptors over those of the CNS, good binding affinity, and selectively of 5HT4 receptors over other serotonin receptors.
The invention relates to modulators of peripheral 5-HT receptors, particularly 5-HT4 receptors, said modulators essentially selective for peripheral 5-HT receptors over receptors of the central nervous system. The invention allows for the treatment, amongst others, of gastrointestinal disorders, lower urinary tract disorders, and cardiovascular disorders without side effects related to CNS activity.
