Indolequinone Antitumor Agents: Correlation between Quinone Structure, Rate of Metabolism by Recombinant Human NAD(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase, and in Vitro Cytotoxicity
摘要:
A series of indolequinones bearing various functional groups has been synthesized, and the effects of substituents on the metabolism of the quinones by recombinant human NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) were studied. Thus 5-methoxyindolequinones were prepared by the Nenitzescu reaction, followed by functional group interconversions. The methoxy group was subsequently displaced by amine nucleophiles to give a series of amine-substituted quinones. Metabolism of the quinones by NQO1 revealed that, in general, compounds with electron-withdrawing groups at the indole 3-position were among the best substrates, whereas those with amine groups at the 5-position were poor substrates. Compounds with a leaving group at the 3-indolyl methyl position generally inactivated the enzyme. The toxicity toward non-small-cell lung cancer cells with either high NQO1 activity (H460) or no detectable activity (H596) was also studied in representative quinones. Compounds which were good substrates for NQO1 showed the highest selectivity between the two cell lines.

Rhodium(II) acetate catalysed reaction of α-diazo-β-ketoesters with N-methylanilines results in carbenoid insertion into the N-H bond; the resulting α-(N-arylamino)ketones cyclise to give indoles upon treatment with acidic ion-exchange resin.

A modified version of the Bischler indole synthesis has been developed in which the key step is the NâH insertion reaction of rhodium carbene intermediates derived from α-diazo-β-ketoesters with anilines. Thus N-methylanilines 1 react with diazoketoesters 2 in the presence of dirhodium(II) acetate to give (N-arylamino)ketones 3, cyclisation of which using boron trifluorideâethyl acetate or acidic ion exchange resin gives the indoles 4. In order to extend this method to the synthesis of N-unsubstituted indoles, a new protecting group strategy for indoles was developed. In this, anilines are reacted with α,β-unsaturated-esters or -sulfones to give the conjugate addition products 6 and 9,
cyclisation of which gives indoles 8 and 11. The N-(2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)- and -(2-sulfonylethyl)- protecting groups are readily removed from indoles 8 and 11 by treatment with base.
