2-Pyrones possessing antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities
摘要:
The 2-pyrone sub-unit is found in a number of natural products possessing broad spectrum biological activity. Such compounds are validated as being capable of binding to specific protein domains and able to exert a remarkable range of biological effects. In an effort to identify synthetic 2-pyrones with interesting biological effects, herein we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-substituted-6-methyl-2-pyrones. Synthetic routes to 4-alkyl/alkenyl/aryl/alkynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones have been developed utilising Sonogashira, Suzuki and Negishi cross-coupling starting from readily available 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone. Specific conditions for each organometallic protocol were required for successful cross-coupling. In particular, a triethylamine/acetonitrile-base/solvent mixture was crucial to Sonogashira alkynylation of 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone, whereas thallium carbonate was a mandatory base for the Suzuki cross-coupling of trialkylboranes. The 2-pyrones demonstrate potent inhibitory activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Botrytis cinerea. The growth inhibitory activities of selected 2-pyrones were determined in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma and K562 human chronic myelogenous leukaemia cell lines using an in vitro cell culture system (MTT assay). These studies demonstrate that 4-phenylethynyl-, 4-tetrahydropyranylpropargyl ether- and 4-ethynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones have excellent potential as a new class of anticancer agents.

The 2-pyrone sub-unit is found in a large number of natural products possessing broad-spectrum biological activity. As such, efficient synthetic methods are required to enable facile access to substituted 2-pyrone derivatives. Important conditions for the Sonogashira alkynylation of 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone (3a) have been developed, and compared against Negishi’s methodology. The best conditions for Sonogashira alkynylation was found to be the use of Pd/C with added Ph3P as the catalyst, in the presence of catalytic CuI, in a mixture of MeCN and Et3N at reflux. Using Negishi’s standard conditions, terminal alkynylzinc reagents, generated in situ from terminal alkynes with LDA or n-BuLi and subsequent reaction with anhydrous ZnBr2, were reacted with 3a at room temperature using Pd(PPh3)4 as the catalyst in THF.

A heterogeneous copper-free [Pd(NH3)4]2+/(NH4)Y catalyst was employed to achieve the heterogeneous Sonogashirareaction of aryl halides with terminal alkynes. Several reaction parameters like solvent, base and temperature were evaluated. When optimised, the coupling reaction of bromobenzene with phenylacetylene gave a 45% yield of diphenylacetylene within 3 h using only 1 mol % Pd. This catalyst was

Stoichiometric intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions of 4-(phenylethynyl)-6-methyl-2-pyrones with norbornene and dicobalt(0)octacarbonyl provide cyclopentenone products that undergo a facile 6pi-electrocyclisation-oxidative aromatisation transformation in the presence of natural light and oxygen, affording functionalised benzo[h]indeno[1,2-f]isochromene type products. The results are rationalised by

We herein report the efficient syntheses of biologically active 4-alkenyl- and 4-alkynyl-6-methyl-2-pyrones using Pd-catalysed coupling procedures. A palladium on carbon/triphenylphosphine combination is shown to be the most effective catalyst for Sonogashira cross-coupling of several terminal acetylenes with 4-bromo-6-methyl-2-pyrone in yields of up to 95%.
