Prodrugs for targeted tumor therapies have been extensively studied in recent years due to not only maximising therapeutic effects on tumor cells but also reducing or eliminating serious side effects on healthy cells. This strategy uses prodrugs which are safe for normal cells and form toxic metabolites (drugs) after selective reduction by enzymes in tumor tissues. In this study, prodrug candidates (1-36) containing nitro were designed, synthesized and characterized within the scope of chemical experiments. Drug-likeness properties of prodrug candidates were analyzed using DS 2018 to investigate undesired toxicity effects. In vitro cytotoxic effects of prodrug canditates were performed with MTT assay for human hepatoma cells (Hep3B) and prostate cancer cells (PC3) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as healthy control. Non-toxic compounds (3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 21–23), and also compounds (1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 20 and 24) which had low toxic effects, were selected to examine their suitability as prodrug canditates. The reduction profiles and kinetic studies of prodrug/Ssap-NtrB combinations were performed with biochemical analyses. Then, selected prodrug/Ssap-NtrB combinations were applied to prostate cancer cells to determine toxicity. The results of theoretical, in vitro cytotoxic and biochemical studies suggest 14/Ssap-NtrB, 22/Ssap-NtrB and 24/Ssap-NtrB may be potential prodrug/enzyme combinations for nitroreductase (Ntr)-based prostate cancer therapy.

1,3-Dinitrobenzene and 3-nitropyridine react with lithium arylamides under anaerobic conditions to produce N-aryl-2,4-dinitroanilines and N-aryl-5-nitropyridin-2-amines, respectively, in 8-42% yields. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

Twenty-two 2,4-dinitroanilines were synthesised and their pK(a) values were determined. The 2,4-dinitroanilines and their protonated forms were studied by 15N NMR spectroscopy. The relations between the 15N NMR chemical shifts and the pK(a) values of the 2,4-dinitroanilines and their salts were found to be linear. The deprotonation reaction of N-methyl-2,4- dinitroanilines and N-methyl-2,4,6-trinitroaniline by MTBD was successful only for the latter and yielded protonated MTBD molecule and the anion in which the electrons are strongly delocalised. The kinetic parameters of the 2,4-dinitroanilines in reactions with hydroxide ions in mixed solvent DMSO:water (95:5, v/v) were determinated and discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
