investigate 3-chloropiperidines as potential mustard-based anticancer agents. In this study, an explorative set of variously decorated monofunctional 3-chloropiperidines (M-CePs) was efficiently synthesized through a fast and affordable route providing high yields of pure racemates and enantiomers. Consistently with their reactivity, M-CePs were demonstrated to alkylate DNA in vitro. On a panel of carcinoma
对可持续的抗肿瘤药物的迫切需求促使我们研究3-氯哌啶作为潜在的基于芥末的抗癌药。在这项研究中,通过快速和负担得起的途径有效合成了各种装饰性单官能3-氯哌啶(M-CePs)的探索性合成,可提供高产率的纯外消旋体和对映体。与它们的反应一致,M-CePs被证明可以在体外对DNA进行烷基化。在一组癌细胞系中,M-CePs表现出较低的纳摩尔细胞毒性指数,这显示出它们对胰腺癌细胞的显着活性,并且在所有情况下均比苯丁酸氮芥控制的表现更好。非常有趣的是,立体化学以意想不到的方式调节了M-CePs的活性,指出了除基因组DNA的直接破坏外的其他分子作用机制。功效和可持续性的令人鼓舞的组合表明它们是抗癌药开发的有效候选者。
