- Design, synthesis and identification of novel colchicine-derived immunosuppressant
-
Synthesis and biological evaluation of various colchicine analogues through the mixed-lymphocyte reaction (MLR), lymphoproliferation, and inhibitory effects on the inflammatory genes are described. In addition, a new series of immunosuppressive agents developed on the structural basis of colchicine, as well as their structure-activity relationships is reported. The most potent analogue 20a exhibited an excellent immunosuppressive activity on in vivo skin-allograft model, which is comparable to that of cyclosporin A.

- TRICYCLIC DERIVATIVES OR PHARMACEUTICALLY ACCEPTABLE SALTS THEREOF, THEIR PREPARATIONS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM
-
The present invention relates to tricyclic derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, their preparations and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. More precisely, the present invention relates to tricyclic derivatives as colchicine derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, their preparations and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. Tricyclic derivatives of the present invention show very powerful cytotoxicity to cancer cell lines but were much less toxic than colchicine or taxol, confirmed through animal toxicity test. Tricyclic derivatives of the invention also decrease the volume and weight of a tumor and have a strong angiogenesis inhibiting activity in HUVEC cells. Thus, tricyclic derivatives of the present invention can effectively be used as an anticancer agent, anti-proliferation agent and an angiogenesis inhibitor.

- Fluoro- or trifluoromethyl-substituted benzyl and phenethyl alcohols: Substrates for metal-mediated site-selective functionalization
-
It was possible to functionalize the three fluorobenzyl alcohols and the three 2-(fluorophenyl)ethanols by metalation and subsequent carboxylation, the prototype electrophilic trapping reaction. Triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) outperformed methoxymethyl (MOM) as an O-protective group making seven new fluorobenzoic acids accessible in 63% average yield. Moreover, the TIPS group tolerates weakly basic and acidic media and, therefore, may facilitate further structural elaboration. The unprotected alcohols reacted more sluggishly and were unable to provide two of the targeted products (acids 1 and 2). The yield averaged only 46% in the five other cases (acids 3-7). The direct metalation of fluorinated benzyl and phenethyl alcohols remains nevertheless an attractive option because of its operational simplicity. All three (trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohols and two of the three (trifluoromethyl)phenethyl alcohol isomers were successfully submitted to the metalation/functionalization sequence. These five starting materials gave rise to a total of nine new benzoic acids or lactones (compounds 8-14 and 17-18). Despite the poor yields (31% on average), the organometallic methods employed are, in general, extremely selective, economical and easy to perform.
