Synthesis and anticancer evaluation of bis(benzimidazoles), bis(benzoxazoles), and benzothiazoles
摘要:
Four classes of UK-1 analogues were synthesized and their cytotoxicity testing against human A-549, BFTC-905, RD, MES-SA, and HeLa carcinoma cell lines was determined. The results revealed that UK-1 and four of these analogues (15-18) are potent against the cancer cell lines. In particular, compound 16 is more potent than UK-1 against A-549 and HeLa cell lines, and compounds 15, 17, and 18 selectively exhibit potent cytotoxic activity against the BFTV-905 cells (IC50 9.6 PM), A-549 cells (IC50 6.6 mu M), and MES-SA cells (IC50 9.2 mu M),respectively.

A concise, five-step total synthesis of UK-1, a novelbis(benzoxazole) metabolite of Streptomyces sp. 517-02, was accomplished. The methyl ether of UK-1 was also synthesized in 3 steps using the same methodology. Both syntheses are accomplished by the sequential construction of two benzoxazole rings derived from 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid.

UK-1 is a structurally unique bis(benzoxazole) natural product isolated from a strain of Streptomyces. UK-1 has been reported to possess anticancer activity but no activity against bacteria, yeast, or fungi. Previous work has also demonstrated the ability of UK-1 to bind a variety of di- and tri-valent metal ions, particularly Mg2+ ions, and to form complexes with double-stranded DNA in the presence of Mg2+ ions. Here we report the activity of UK-1 against a wide range of human cancer cell lines. UK- I displays a wide spectrum of potent anticancer activity against leukemia, lymphoma, and certain solid tumor-derived cell lines, with IC50 values as low as 20 nM. but is inactive against Staphylococcus aureus, a methicillin-resistant strain of S. aureus, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A series of analogues of the bis(benzoxazole) natural product UK-1 in which the carbomethoxy-substituted benzoxazole ring of the natural product was modified were prepared and evaluated for their anticancer and antibacterial properties. An analogue of UK-1 in which the carbomethoxy-substituted benzoxazole ring was replaced with a carbomethoxy-substituted benzimidazole ring was inactive against human cancer cell lines and the two strains of S. aureus. In contrast, a simplified analogue in which the carbomethoxy-substituted benzoxazole ring was replaced with a carbomethoxy group was almost as active as UK-1 against the four cancer call lines examined but lacked activity against S. aureus. Metal ion binding studies of these analogues demonstrate that they both bind Zn2+ and Ca2+ ions about as well as UK-1. The non-cytotoxic benzimidazole UK-1 analogue binds Mg2+ ions 50-fold weaker than UK-1, whereas the simple benzoxazole analogue binds Mg2+ ions nearly as well as UK-1. These results support a role of Mg2+ ion binding in the selective cytotoxicity of UK-1 and provide a minimal pharmacophore for the selective cytotoxic activity of the natural product.

Three new analogs of UK-1 have been synthesized and their efficacies as topoisomerase II inhibitors have been determined. Results show that UK-1 and two of these analogs are catalytic inhibitors of topo II and identifies a critical structural motif necessary for enzyme inhibition. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

A synthesis method of anti-cancer drug UK-1 includes: mixing methyl 2-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate, aldehyde and molecular sieves to form a mixture and firstly refluxing the mixture to form a first reactant; hydrolyzing the first reactant in a basic solution to form a hydrolyzed solution and secondly refluxing the hydrolyzed solution to form a second reactant; and dehydrating the second reactant and the methyl 2-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate in an acidic solution to form a dehydrated solution and thirdly refluxing the dehydrated solution to form an anti-cancer drug UK-1 or at least one derivative thereof.
