Synthesis and SAR studies of bis-chromenone derivatives for anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cells
摘要:
A novel family of 3-((4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)methyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (bis-chromone) derivatives were designed, synthesized and studied for their anti-cancer activity using the XTT assay for the growth inhibition against various human cancer cells. Among them, 3-((5-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-4-oxo-4H-chromen- 3-yl)methyl)-7-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one and 3-((5-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-4-oxo-4H-chromen- 3-yl)methyl)-7-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one showed micromolar level of in vitro anti-proliferative activity against human cancer cell lines. The SAR studies indicated bis-chromone as a basic scaffold to design anticancer agents. The 5-cyclohexylmethoxy on the first chromenone ring and electron donating group such as CH3, OCH3 or hydrogen bonding group (OH) on the other chromenone ring of bis-chromone increased the activity. However, saturation of one of chromenone to chromanone in bis-chromones decreased the activity. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Attempts to prepare substituted chromones as novel retinoids revealed that some chromones were unstable under Wadsworth-Horner-Emmons reaction conditions. Hence, Wittig reactions were used to prepare chromone-based compounds as potential retinoids. Firstly, Wittig reagents prepared from 3-bromomethyl-chromen-4-one were reacted with olefinic-aldehydes to provide the target compounds with all-trans side chains in good yield. The approach supplies a useful general route to structurally diverse chromone-based compounds possessing a variety of side chains. Sequential Wittig reactions were used also to prepare a chromone-based retinoid. These novel compounds were evaluated in binding assays and a high affinity RAR ligand was identified. Crystal structures obtained for two key precursors aided the interpretation of binding data. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
