A series of eight new alkyl-7,8,9-trichloro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-a]-indolizine-10-carboxylates (OPIC), analogues of camptothecin (CPT), were prepared in a one-pot reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid (BPA) with a mixture of thionyl chloride/chlorine, followed by addition of the appropriate alcohol. This led to a mixture of OPIC compounds 3a-d, 4a-d and 3,3'-dialkoxycarbonyl-2,2'-bipyridines (BPE, 2a-d). The isopropyl OPIC 3c and its corresponding diastereoisomer 4c showed marked activity against three cancer cell lines compared to other analogs. These same diastereoisomers also displayed high cytotoxic activity against five leukemia cell lines, thus the presence of an isopropyl substituent on the carboxylic ester, as opposed to other alkyl substituents, appears to play a key role in the cytotoxic potency of this new class of compounds.
通过 2,2'-联吡啶-3,3'-二羧酸(BPA)与亚硫酰氯/氯的混合物反应,然后加入适当的醇,制备了一系列八种新的烷基-7,8,9-三氯-6,7,8,9-四氢-5-氧代吡啶并[2,3-a]-吲哚嗪-10-羧酸盐(OPIC),它们是喜树碱(CPT)的类似物。这样就得到了 OPIC 化合物 3a-d、4a-d 和 3,3'-二烷氧基羰基-2,2'-联吡啶(BPE,2a-d)的混合物。与其他类似物相比,异丙基 OPIC 3c 及其相应的非对映异构体 4c 对三种癌症细胞株具有明显的活性。因此,与其他烷基取代基相比,羧酸酯上异丙基取代基的存在似乎对这一类新化合物的细胞毒性效力起着关键作用。
