An efficient, concise enantioselective total synthesis of the potent antitumor antibiotic (+)-duocarmycin SA is described. The invented route is based on a disconnection strategy that was devised to facilitate rapid and efficient synthesis of key core compounds to enable preclinical structure-activity relationship investigations. The key tricycle core was constructed with a highly enantioselective indole hydrogenation to set the stereocenter and a subsequent hitherto unexplored vicarious, nucleophilic-substitution/cyclization sequence to effectively forge a final indole ring. Additionally, the development of a stable sulfonamide protecting group capable of mild chemoselective cleavage greatly enhanced sequence yield and throughput. An understanding of key reaction parameters ensured a robust, reproducible sequence easily executable on decagram scales to this highly promising class of compounds.

A series of novel 2-amino-3-cyano-6-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-phenylpyridine derivatives were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity against A549, H460, HT-29 and SMMC-7721 cell lines was evaluated in vitro. Among them, ten compounds (10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31) displayed excellent anti-tumor activity against different cell lines. The most promising compound 27 showed strong anti-tumor activity against A549, H460, HT-29 and SMMC-7721 cell lines with IC50 values of 22, 0.23, 0.65 and 0.77 nM, which were 2.6-, 83-, 1.1 × 103- and 2.0 × 103- fold more active than MX-58151 (IC50 values of 0.058, 0.019, 0.70 and 1.53 μM), respectively.

The total synthesis of (+)-duocarmycin A and SA through a common indoline intermediate is described. The key reactions include selective lithiation of a 2,6-dibromoiodobenzene derivative and diastereoselective addition to a chiral nitroalkene, copper-mediated aryl amination, and addition of aryllithium to azlactones.
