2-Chloro-3-alkyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized and tested as the anti-acute myeloid leukaemia agents. The compound 9b (2-chloro-3-ethyl-5,6,7-trimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) was the most potent toward HL-60 leukaemia cells. In mechanistic study for 9b, the protein levels of mtDNA-specific DNA polymerase γ (poly-γ) and mtDNA transcription factor A (mt-TFA) were decreased after the 24 h treatment, showing the occurrence of mtDNA damage. And 9b triggered cell cycle arrest at S phase accompanied by a secondary block in G2/M phase which had a direct link to the process of mtDNA damage. The dissipations of mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP also proceeded. On the other hand, 9b promoted the generation of ROS and resulted in the oxidation of intracellular GSH to GSSG. This process was coupled to the formation of adduct between 9b and GSH, detected by the UV–Vis spectrum and HRMS analysis. Depletion of GSH by buthionine sulfoximine enhanced ROS level and produced higher cytotoxicity, suggesting GSH was involved in the anti-leukemic mechanism of 9b. Together, our results provide new insights on the molecular mechanism of the derivatives of 2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and 9b might be useful for the further development into an anti-leukemia agent.

A series of both novel and reported combretastatin analogues, including diarylpyrazoles, -isoxazoles, -1,2,3-triazoles, and -pyrroles, were synthesized via improved protocols to evaluate their antimitotic antitubulin activity using in vivo sea urchin embryo assay and a panel of human cancer cells. A systematic comparative structure-activity relationship studies of these compounds were conducted. Pyrazoles 1i and 1p, isoxazole 3a, and triazole 7b were found to be the most potent antimitotics across all tested compounds causing cleavage alteration of the sea urchin embryo at 1, 0.25, 1, and 0.5 nM, respectively. These agents exhibited comparable cytotoxicity against human cancer cells. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that compounds substituted with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ring A and 4-methoxyphenyl ring B displayed the highest activity. 3-Hydroxy group in the ring B was essential for the antiproliferative activity in the diarylisoxazole series, whereas it was not required for potency of diarylpyrazoles. Isoxazoles 3 with 3,4,5-trimethoxy-substituted ring A and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-substituted ring B were more active than the respective pyrazoles 1. Of the azoles substituted with the same set of other aryl pharmacophores, diarylpyrazoles 1, 4,5-diarylisoxazoles 3, and 4,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles 7 displayed similar strongest antimitotic antitubulin effect followed by 3,4-diarylisoxazoles 5, 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles 8, and pyrroles 10 that showed the lowest activity. Introduction of the amino group into the heterocyclic core decreased the antimitotic antitubulin effect of pyrazoles, triazoles, and to a lesser degree of 4,5-diarylisoxazoles, whereas potency of the respective 3,4-diarylisoxazoles was increased.
AN EFFICIENT PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ALKOXY SUBSTITUTED BENZALDEHYDES

Page/Page column 21; 22, (2016/07/27)
The present invention relates to the synthesis of alkoxy substituted benzaldehydes obtained from the corresponding alkoxy substituted benzenes. Alkoxy substituted benzaldehydes are products of broad commercial interest and are used as end products and intermediates in flavor and fragrance applications and pharmaceutical ingredients. For example, 3,4-methylendioxybenzaldehyde (also known as heliotropin or piperonal) is used widely both as a end product and intermediate for the above mentioned applications. Other examples include 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3,4,5- trimethoxybenzaldehyde and 3,4-ethylenedioxybenzene which are intermediates in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical intermediates.
