摘要: | 根據我們對quinolone類化合物具有抗癌潛力候選藥物的持續研究,結合了2-(2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-one (K1)、6,7-methylenedioxy-3-phenyl-2-quinolone derivatives及combretastatin A-4 (CA-4)的結構特色,設計了一系列6,7-methylenedioxy-4- substituted phenyl-2-quinolones的衍生物。
首先,先以substituted acetophenones 1a-14a與diethyl carbonate反應得到相對應的ethyl 3-oxo-3-substituted phenylpropanoates 1c-14c。化合物1c-14c再與substituted anilines 1d-3d反應生成相對應的phenylpropanamides 1e-16e,之後再以多聚磷酸 (PPA)進行環化反應得到相對應的標的化合物1f-16f。
將這些標的化合物進行對人類乳癌細胞株MCF-7、人類卵巢癌細胞株2774、SKOV-3、人類白血癌細胞株HL-60、人類肺癌細胞株H460、人類肝癌細胞株Hep 3B、人類腎癌細胞株A498及人類子宮頸癌細胞株CaSki之細胞毒殺活性評估。其中,化合物6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4-dimethoxy)phenyl-2-quinlone (8f) 對人類卵巢癌細胞株SKOV-3、人類白血癌細胞株HL-60、人類肺癌細胞株 H460及人類肝癌細胞株Hep 3B具有顯著的細胞毒殺活性而6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-quinolone (12f) 顯示對人類卵巢癌細胞株SKOV-3有顯著的細胞毒殺活性。未來將選擇這兩類化合物做為先導化合物並做進一步的結構修飾。
As part of our continuing investigation of quinolone derivatives as potential and anticancer drug candidates, a series of 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-substituted phenyl-2-quinolones was designed. The design combine structural features of 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-one (K-1), 6,7-methylenedioxy-3-phenyl-2-quinolone derivatives and combretastatin A-4 (CA-4).
Substituted acetophenones 1a-14a were first treated with diethyl carbonate to form the corresponding ethyl 3-oxo-3-substituted phenyl propanoates 1c-14c. Compounds 1c-14c were reacted with substituted anilines 1d-3d to yield the corresponding phenylpropanamides 1e-16e which were subjected to a cyclization reaction in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) to afford the corresponding target compounds 1f-16f.
The synthesized target compounds 1f-16f were evaluated for cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell MCF7, human ovarian cancer cell 2774 and SKOV-3, human leukemia cell HL-60, human lung cancer cell H460, human hepatoma cell Hep3B, human Cervica cancer cell CaSki. Among them, 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)- 2-quinolone (8f) showed significant cytotoxicity against SKOV-3, HL-60, H460 and Hep 3B cell lines and 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4,6- trimethoxyphenyl)-2-quinolone (12f) demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against SKOV-3 cell line, these two compounds will be selected as the new lead compounds for further structure modification. |
