- Design, synthesis and biological activity of N5-substituted tetrahydropteroate analogs as non-classical antifolates against cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase and potential anticancer agents
-
Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase (MetH) is involved in the process of tumor cell growth and survival. In this study, a novel series of N5-electrophilic substituted tetrahydropteroate analogs without glutamate residue were designed as non-classical antifolates and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against MetH. In addition, the cytotoxicity of target compounds was evaluated in human tumor cell lines. With N5-chloracetyl as the optimum group, further structure research on the benzene substituent and on the 2,4-diamino group was also performed. Compound 6c, with IC50 value of 12.1 μM against MetH and 0.16–6.12 μM against five cancer cells, acted as competitive inhibitor of MetH. Flow cytometry studies indicated that compound 6c arrested HL-60 cells in the G1-phase and then inducted late apoptosis. The molecular docking further explained the structure-activity relationship.

- Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of a series of novel 6-substituted pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines as potential nonclassical lipophilic antifolates targeting dihydrofolate reductase
-
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) has been a well-recognized target for the treatment of many diseases. Based on 8,10-dideazaminopterins, which are classical antifolates that potently inhibit DHFR, we have designed a series of novel 2,4-diamino-6-substituted pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines. By removing the glutamate moiety and introducing lipophilic groups, we hoped to improve passive diffuse through the cell membranes. The target compounds were efficiently synthesized using one-pot procedure and evaluated in?vitro for DHFR inhibition and antitumor activity. Compounds 5e, 5h, 5i and 5k were the most potent inhibitors of recombinant human DHFR (rhDHFR) with IC50values in the range 0.2–1.0?μM. Analysis using flow cytometric indicated that the effect of compound 5k on cell cycle progression was linked to induction of S phase arrest. Compounds 5g, 5h, 5i and 5k showed broad spectrum antitumor activity against four different tumor cell lines, with IC50values in the range 0.07–23?μM. Molecular docking investigations showed that the trimethoyphenyl ring of compound 5k occupied a position near the cofactor-binding site in the rhDHFR-inhibitor complex, with close intermolecular contacts with Asp21, Phe31, Ser59, Ile60 and Pro61.

- Tetrahydrofurfuroxy folic acid analogue synthetic method
-
The invention relates to a novel method for synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid analogues, and mainly solves the problems of uneasily controllable reaction conditions and many produced by products in a conventional synthesis method. A series of tetrahydrofolic acid analogues are prepared by employing 5-aminouracil or 2,4,5,6-tetraaminopyrimidine, 2,5,6-triamino-4-hydroxypyrimidine as an initial raw material and combining the steps of cyclization, oxidation, chlorination, ammonolysis, catalytic hydrogenation reduction, intramolecular cyclization, aziridine ring opening, nucleophilic substitution, ethoxycarbonyl hydrolysis, etc. Compared with a conventional synthesis method, the novel method provided by the invention has the characteristics of mild and stable reaction conditions, few by-products, wide application range, etc.

- Nonclassical 2,4-diamino-8-deazafolate analogues as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductases from rat liver, Pneumocystis carinii, and Toxoplasma gondii
-
The synthesis and biological activity of 42 6-substituted-2,4- diaminopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines (2,4-diamino-8-deazafolate analogues) are reported. The compounds were synthesized in improved yields compared to previous classical analogues using modifications of procedures reported previously by us. Specifically, the S-phenyl-; mono-, di-, and trimethoxyphenyl-; and mono-, di-, and trichlorophenyl-substituted analogues with H or CH3 at the N10 position and methyl and trifluoromethyl phenyl ketone analogues with H, C0H3, and CH2C≡CH at the N10 position were synthesized. The S10 and N10 α- and β-naphthyl analogues along with the N10 CH3 analogues were also synthesized. These compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductases (DHFR) from Pneumocystis carinii (pc) and Toxoplasma gondii (tg); selectivity ratios were determined against rat liver (rl) DHFR as the mammalian reference enzyme. Against pcDHFR the IC50 values ranged from 0.038 x 10-6 M for 2,4-diamino-6-[(N-methyl-2'- naphthylamino)methyl]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (28) to 5.5 x 10-6 M for 2,4- diamino-6-[(2',4'-dimethoxyanilino)methyl]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (15). N10 methylation in all instances increased potency. None of the analogues were selective for pcDHFR. Against tgDHFR the most potent analogue was 2,4- diamino-6-[(N-methylanilino)methyl]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (5) (IC50 0.0084 x 10-6 M) and the least potent was 2,4-diamino-6-[(2'- naphthylamino)methyl]-pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (37) (IC50 0.16 x 10-6 M). N10 methylation afforded an increase in potency up to 10-fold. In contrast to pcDHFR, several of the 8-deaza analogues were significantly selective for tgDHFR, most notably 2,4-diamino-6-[(2'-chloro-N- methylanilino)methyl]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (13), 2,4-diamino-6-[(3',4',5'- trimethoxyanilino)methyl]pyrido-[3,2-d]pyrimidine (29), and 2,4-diamino-6- [(2',4',6'-trichloroanilino)methyl]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (32) which combined high potency at 10-8 M along with selectivities of 8.0, 5.0, and 12.4, respectively. The potency of these three analogues are comparable to the clinically used agent trimetrexate while their selectivities for tgDHFR are 17-43-fold better than trimetrexate.
