Green synthesis and cytotoxic activity of dibenzyl α-hydroxyphosphonates and α-hydroxyphosphonic acids

A series of dibenzyl α-hydroxyphosphonates and the corresponding α-hydroxyphosphonic acids, mostly new compounds, have been synthesized. The dibenzyl α-hydroxyphosphonates have been obtained in the Pudovik reaction of substituted benzaldehydes and dibenzyl phosphite in the presence of triethylamine as the catalyst. The amount of the solvent was minimized during the reaction, and the workup involved crystallization from the reaction mixture. A new protocol was developed to transform the dibenzyl 1-hydroxyphosphonates to the corresponding phosphonic acids by catalytic hydrogenation. The derivatives prepared were screened as potential cytotoxic agents against Mes-Sa human uterine sarcoma cell line.

Synthesis and anticancer cytotoxicity with structural context of an α-hydroxyphosphonate based compound library derived from substituted benzaldehydes

We synthesized substituted benzaldehyde derived α-hydroxyphosphonates (αOHP), α-hydroxyphosphonic acids (αOHPA) and α-phosphinoyloxyphosphonates (αOPP) and characterized their cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cell lines. A library containing 56 analogues was screened against Mes-Sa parental and Mes-Sa/Dx5 multidrug resistant uterine sarcoma cell lines, using a fluorescence-based cytotoxicity assay. The cytotoxicity screening revealed that dibenzyl-αOHPs and dimethyl-α-diphenyl-OPPs were the most active clusters, which encouraged us to synthesize further dibenzyl-α-diphenyl-OPP derivatives that elicited pronounced cell killing. Further structure-activity relationships showed the relevance of hydrophobicity and the position of substituents on the main benzene ring as determinants of toxicity. The most active analogs proved to be equally, or even more toxic to the multidrug resistant (MDR) cell line Mes-Sa/Dx5, suggesting these compounds may overcome P-glycoprotein mediated multidrug resistance by evading the drug transporter.

Isoprenoid Biosynthesis Inhibitors Targeting Bacterial Cell Growth

We synthesized potential inhibitors of farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS), undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPPS), or undecaprenyl diphosphate phosphatase (UPPP), and tested them in bacterial cell growth and enzyme inhibition assays. The most active compounds were found to be bisphosphonates with electron-withdrawing aryl-alkyl side chains which inhibited the growth of Gram-negative bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) at ～1–4 μg mL?1levels. They were found to be potent inhibitors of FPPS; cell growth was partially “rescued” by the addition of farnesol or overexpression of FPPS, and there was synergistic activity with known isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway inhibitors. Lipophilic hydroxyalkyl phosphonic acids inhibited UPPS and UPPP at micromolar levels; they were active (～2–6 μg mL?1) against Gram-positive but not Gram-negative organisms, and again exhibited synergistic activity with cell wall biosynthesis inhibitors, but only indifferent effects with other inhibitors. The results are of interest because they describe novel inhibitors of FPPS, UPPS, and UPPP with cell growth inhibitory activities as low as ～1–2 μg mL?1.

Tailoring the structure of aminobisphosphonates to target plant P5C reductase

Using the structure of (3,5-dichlorophenyl)aminomethylenebisphosphonic acid as a lead compound, 25 new phosphonates were synthesized and evaluated as possible inhibitors of Arabidopsis thaliana δ1-pyrroline-5- carboxylate (P5C) reductase. Deriv
