Synthesis and structure-activity relationship study of 1-phenyl-1-(quinazolin-4-yl)ethanols as anticancer agents

A quinazoline derivative PVHD121 (1a) was shown to have strong antiproliferative activity against various tumor-derived cell lines, including A549 (lung), NCI-H460 (lung), HCT116 (colon), MCF7 (breast), PC3 (prostate), and HeLa (cervical) cells with IC50 values from 0.1 to 0.3 M. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study at the 2- and 4-position of the quinazoline core lead to the discovery of more potent anticancer agents (14, 16, 17, 19, 24, and 31). The results of an in vitro tubulin polymerization assay and fluorescent-based colchicine site competition assay with purified tubulin indicated that 1a inhibits tubulin polymerization by binding to the colchicine site.

Carbon-carbon bond cleavage of α-hydroxybenzylheteroarenes catalyzed by cyanide ion: Retro-benzoin condensation affords ketones and heteroarenes and benzyl migration affords benzylheteroarenes and arenecarbaldehydes

4-(α-Benzylα-hydroxybenzyl)quinazoline (4a) underwent retro-benzoin condensation catalyzed by cyanide ion to give deoxybenzoin (2a) and quinazoline (5a). Similarly, several nitrogen-containing heteroarenes (4, 9, 12, 16-19) having an α-hydroxybenzyl group at the α-position of the nitrogen underwent retro-benzoin type condensation to afford kelones (2) and heteroarenes (5). However, similar reaction of pyrazolopyrimidines (13, 14, 15) having an α-benzyl-α-hydroxybelzyl group resulted in benzyl migration, giving benzylpyrazolopyrimidines (8) and arenecarbaldehydes (3). Tetrabutylammonium cyanide (11, Bu4NCN) was a more effective cyanide ion donor than KCN (10). The retro-benzoin condensation was applied to the synthesis of 2-substituted quinazolines (38) from 2-chloro-4- aroylquinazolines (34), using the aroyl group as a protecting and electron- withdrawing group.
