- Structure activity relationships for mitomycin C and mitomycin A analogues
-
A set of 30 mitomycin C and mitomycin A analogues, including five new compounds, was screened against three different solid human tumor cell lines using the MTT tetrazolium dye assay. A statistically significant correlation among antitumor activity, quinone reduction potential (E( 1/2 ), and the logarithm of the partition coefficient (log P) was obtained, with the most easily reduced and the most lipophilic compounds being the most potent. When these analogues were separated into mitomycin C and mitomycin A subsets, the former gave a correlation only with E( 1/2 ), whereas the latter (which differ little in their E( 1/2 ) values) gave a correlation only with log P. These correlations are in contrast to those made in the P388 leukemia assay in mice wherein the most active mitomycin C and mitomycin A analogues were the most hydrophilic ones. When the same compounds were tested against P388 leukemia cells in the MTT assay, the results were the same as those of the solid tumor assays. Thus, the substantial differences in relative potencies of mitomycins are related not to the kind of tumor cell, but to the type of assay performed, cell culture versus whole animal. No correlation was found between antitumor potency in the cell culture systems and calculated relative DNA binding strengths, probably because the limiting factors in antitumor potency of mitomycins appear to be tumor cell uptake (log P) and/or bioreductive activation (E( 1/2 ).

- Convergent synthesis of dronedarone, an antiarrhythmic agent
-
We have developed a convergent synthesis of dronedarone, an antiarrhythmic agent. The key steps of the process are the construction of a benzofuran skeleton by iodocyclization and the carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling for biaryl ketone formation. This synthetic route required only eight steps from 2-amino-4-nitrophenol in 23% overall yield.

- Synthesis of Substituted Dibenzophospholes. Part 5. Synthesis of Intermediates for 4- and 6-Aryl Substituents
-
6-Iodo-5-methoxy-8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-ethanonaphthalene was prepared from the Diels-Alder adduct of benzoquinone and cyclohexadiene.Diels-Alder condensation of 2-acetamimido-benzoquinone and 2-iodobenzoquinone (convenient, new syntheses of both quinones are described) with 2-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene led to mixtures of adducts; the major adduct from the iodoquinone was isolated and found by X-ray analysis to have the methyl and iodo substituents at the 2- and 7-positions, respectively, of the 1,4-ethanonaphthalene skeleton.Addition of 2-acetamidobenzoquinone to mentha-2,6,8(9)-triene derived from (-)-carvone gave two regioisomers (structures determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy).In a smooth 4-step synthesis from 6,6-dimethylfulvene and benzoquinone, 6-iodo-9-syn-isopropyl-5,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalene was prepared and its stucture confirmed by X-ray analysis.
