[摘要]：A new series of anticancer annonaceous acetogenin mimetics were designed, synthesized, and evaluated based on our previously developed compd. AA005, in which a variety of conformationally constrained fragments were introduced. Parallel syntheses of all new compds. were accomplished by replacement of the acyclic bis-ether functionality of AA005 with certain conformationally constrained fragments. Slight effects to the anti-cancer activity were exerted by altering stereochemistries in the middle modification region. Similar to AA005, most newly synthesized mimetics were found to exhibit potent activities against breast cancer cells, and showed satisfactory selectivities between cancerous and non-cancerous cells. An N,N'-di-Me bis-amide compd. I exhibits 30 times more potency against MDA-MB-468 cells than its parent mol. AA005. This study indicates that the introduction of appropriate conformational constraints is a useful optimizing tool for this class of anti-cancer agents. Successes in the bis-amide analogs of AA005 make this unique class of anticancer agents much simpler and more flexible for future further developments. |
