We previously reported a potent tubulin inhibitor CH-2-77. In this study, we optimized the structure of CH-2-77 by blocking metabolically labile sites and synthesized a series of CH-2-77 analogues. Two compounds, 40a and 60c, preserved the potency while improving the metabolic stability over CH-2-77 by 3- to 4-fold (46.8 and 29.4 vs 10.8 min in human microsomes). We determined the high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of 40a (resolution 2.3 ?) and 60c (resolution 2.6 ?) in complex with tubulin and confirmed their direct binding at the colchicine-binding site. In vitro, 60c maintained its mode of action by inhibiting tubulin polymerization and was effective against P-glycoprotein-mediated multiple drug resistance and taxol resistance. In vivo, 60c exhibited a strong inhibitory effect on tumor growth and metastasis in a taxol-resistant A375/TxR xenograft model without obvious toxicity. Collectively, this work showed that 60c is a promising lead compound for further development as a potential anticancer agent.

On the nucleophilic tele-substitution of dichloropyrazines by metallated dithianes

The reaction of dichloropyrazines with a dithiane anion gave isomers of the expected formylated chloropyrazines after deprotection with methyl iodide. A tele-substitution mechanism accounts for these observations and is supported by deuterium labelling studies.
