Solvent- and chromatography-free amination of π-deficient nitrogen heterocycles under microwave irradiation. A fast, efficient and green route to 9-aminoacridines, 4-aminoquinolines and 4-aminoquinazolines and its application to the synthesis of the drugs amsacrine and bistacrine

Focused microwave irradiation of equimolecular mixtures of 9-chloroacridines, 4-chloroquinolines and 4-chloroquinazolines with amines in the presence of 2 equiv of phenol allows the general, fast and high-yielding synthesis of aminated heterocycles, with a very broad scope in terms of amine structure (aromatic, linear primary aliphatic, α-branched primary aliphatic, secondary aliphatic and diamines). Workup consisted of a simple washing with water and purification could be achieved by crystallization, avoiding the use of organic solvents in extraction and chromatographic purification steps. This protocol provides a solution to the long-standing synthetic problem of achieving a practical and efficient method for the amination of π-deficient nitrogen heterocycles for medicinal chemistry applications.

Anti-prion activities and drug-like potential of functionalized quinacrine analogs with basic phenyl residues at the 9-amino position

In this paper, we report the synthesis and cell-based anti-prion activity of quinacrine analogs derived by replacing the basic alkyl side chain of quinacrine with 4-(4-methylpiperazin-I-yl)phenyl, (1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl) and their structural variants. Several promising analogs were found that have a more favorable anti-prion profile than quinacrine in terms of potency and activity across different prion-infected murine cell models. They also exhibited greater binding affinities for a human prion protein fragment (hPrP121-231) than quinacrine, and had permeabilities on the PAMPA-BBB assay that fall within the range of CNS permeant candidates. When evaluated on bidirectional assays on a Pgp overexpressing cell line, one analog was less susceptible to Pgp efflux activity compared to quinacrine. Taken together, the results point to an important role for the substituted 9-amino side chain attached to the acridine, tetrahydroacridine and quinoline scaffolds. The nature of this side chain influenced cell-based potency, PAMPA permeability and binding affinity to hPrP121-231.

Antiprion activity of functionalized 9-aminoacridines related to quinacrine

A library of functionalized 6-chloro-2-methoxy-(N9-substituted)acridin-9-amines structurally related to quinacrine were synthesized and evaluated for antiprion activity on four different cell models persistently infected with scrapie prion strains (ScN2a, N167, Ch2) or a human disease prion strain (F3). Most of the compounds were distinguished by the side chain attached to 9-amino of the acridine ring. These were dialkylaminoalkyl and phenyl with basic groups on the phenyl ring. The most promising compound was 6-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)acridin-9-amine (15) which had submicromolar EC50 values (0.1-0.7 μM) on all cell models, was able to clear PrPSc at non-toxic concentrations of 1.2-2.5 μM, and was more active than quinacrine in terms of EC50 values. Other promising compounds were 14 (a regioisomer of 15) and 17 which had a 1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl substituent attached to the 9-amino function. Activity was strongly dependent on the presence of a substituted acridine ring, which in this library comprised 6-chloro-2-methoxy substituents on the acridine ring. The side chains of 14, 15, and 17 have not been previously associated with antiprion activity and are interesting leads for further optimization of antiprion activity.
