- FAR SUPERIOR OXIDATION CATALYSTS BASED ON MACROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS
-
An especially robust compound and its derivative metal complexes that are approximately one hundred-fold superior in catalytic performance to the previously invented TAML analogs is provided having the formula (I) wherein Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 are oxidation resistant groups which are the same or different and which form 5- or 6-membered rings with a metal, M, when bound to D; at least one Y incorporates a group that is significantly more stable towards nucleophilic attack than the organic amides of TAML activators; D is a metal complexing donor atom, preferably N; each X is a position for addition of a labile Lewis acidic substituent such as (i) H, deuterium, (ii) Li, Na, K, alkali metals, (iii) alkaline earth metals, transition metals, rare earth metals, which may be bound to one or more than one D, (iv) or is unoccupied with the resulting negative charge being balanced by a nonbonded counteraction; at least one Y may contain a site that is labile to acid dissociation, providing a mechanism for shortening complex lifetime. The new complexes deliver catalytic performances that promise to revolutionize multiple oxidation technology spaces including water purification.

- Hypoxia-Selective Agents Derived from Quinoxaline 1,4-Di-N-oxides
-
Hypoxic cells, which are a common feature of solid tumors, but not normal tissues, are resistant to both anticancer drugs and radiation therapy.Thus the identification of drugs with selective toxicity toward hypoxic cells is an important objective in anticancer chemotherapy.The benzotriazine di-N-oxide (SR 4233, Tirapazamine) has been shown to be an efficient and selective cytotoxin for hypoxic cells.Since the bioreductive activation of Tirapazamine is thought to be due to the presence of the 1,4-di-N-oxide moiety, a series of 3-aminoquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-di-N-oxides with a range of electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents in the 6- and /or 7- positions has been synthesized and evaluated for toxicity to hypoxic cells.Electrochemical studies of the quinoxaline di-N-oxides and Tirapazamine showed that as the electron-withdrawing nature of the 6(7)-substituent increases, the reduction potential becomes more positive and the compound is more readily reduced.Apart from the unsubstituted 6a and the 6,7-dimethyl derivative 6c, the quinoxaline di-N-oxide have reduction potentials significantly more positive than Tirapazamine (Epc -0.90 V).The most potent cytotoxins to cells in culture were the 6,7-dichloro and 6,7-difluoro derivatives 6i and 6l, which were 30-fold more potent than Tirapazamine.The 6(7)-fluoro and 6(7)-chloro compounds, 6e and 6h, showed the greatest hypoxia selectivity.Four of the compounds, 6e, 6f, 6h and 6i, killed the inner cells of multicellular tumor spheroids in vitro.In vivo Balb/c mice tolerated a dose of these four compounds twice the size of that of Tirapazamine.This study demonstrates that quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxides could provide useful hypoxia-selective therapeutic agents.

- o-NITROANILINE DERIVATIVES. PART 10. 5- AND 6-AMINO-1H-BENZIMIDAZOLE 3-OXIDES
-
Cyclisation of N-(4- or 5-acylamino-2-nitrophenyl)glycine esters in basic media gives alkyl 5- or 6-acylaminobenzimidazole-2-carboxylate N-oxides, e.g. (11a) or (11b).Acid hydrolysis of the latter, followed by the reaction of ammonia, gives the title compounds (1b) and (1c), in acceptable yield.The corresponding reaction sequence with 4-acylamino-N-cyanomethyl-o-nitroanilines also gives (1b); where the acyl group is methylsulphonyl, however, the final product is 5-methanesulphonamidobenzimidazole N-oxide (9).Compound (1b) is also obtainable from ethyl 5-nitrobenzimidazole-2-carboxylate N-oxide by reduction followed by hydrolysis.Attempts to cyclise N-(o-nitrophenyl)glycine derivatives containing a free amino group at the 5-position are unsuccessful.This failure is attributed to mesomeric deactivation of the nitro group by the amino lone pair.
