A series of new 4β-anilino-4′-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxin derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxicities against four human cancer cell lines including KB, KB/VCR, A549 and 95D. Most compounds showed better growth-inhibition activities against tested cell lines than that of etoposide (VP-16). Preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) were concluded and it indicated that the side chains substituted at 4β position of podophyllotoxin significantly influenced the cytotoxic activity, especially for the drug resistance profile. In vivo studies of compound 26c on highly metastatic human lung cancer xenograft in nude mice showed that it can significantly inhibit tumor growth with administrating by oral route.

Selective inhibition of the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) compared to the endothelial and inducible isoforms may be required for treatment of neurological disorders caused by excessive production of nitric oxide. Recently, we described N-(3-(aminomethyl)benzyl)acetamidine (13) as a slow, tight-binding inhibitor, highly selective for human inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Removal of a single methylene bridge between the amidine nitrogen and phenyl ring to give N-(3- (aminomethyl)phenyl)acetamidine (14) dramatically altered the selectivity to give a neuronal selective nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibitor. Part of this large shift in selectivity was due to 14 being a rapidly reversible inhibitor of iNOS in contrast to the essentially irreversible inhibition of iNOS observed with 13. Structure-activity studies revealed that a basic amine functionality tethered to an aromatic ring and a sterically compact amidine are key pharmacophores for this class of NOS inhibitors. Maximal nNOS inhibition potency was achieved with N-(3-(aminomethyl)phenyl)-2- furanylamidine (77) (K(i-nNOS) = 0.006 μM; K(i-eNOS) = 0.35 μM; K(i-iNOS) = 0.16 μM). Finally, α-fluoro-N-(3-(aminomethyl)phenyl)acetamidine (74) (K(i- nNOS) = 0.011 μM; K(i-eNOS) = 1.1 μM; K(i-iNOS) = 0.48 μM) had excellent brain penetration and inhibited nNOS in a rat brain slice assay as well as in the rat brain (cerebellum) in vivo. Thus, N-phenylamidines should be useful in validating the role of nNOS in neurological disorders.
