We report the synthesis and biochemical evaluation of compounds that are designed as hybrids of the microtubule targeting benzophenone phenstatin and the aromatase inhibitor letrozole. A preliminary screening in estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive MCF‐7 breast cancer cells identified 5‐((2H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐1‐yl)(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)‐2‐methoxyphenol 24 as a potent antiproliferative compound with an IC50 value of 52 nM in MCF‐7 breast cancer cells (ER+/PR+) and 74 nM in triple‐negative MDA‐MB‐231 breast cancer cells. The compounds demonstrated significant G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis in the MCF‐7 cell line, inhibited tubulin polymerisation, and were selective for cancer cells when evaluated in non-tumorigenic MCF‐10A breast cells. The immunofluorescence staining of MCF‐7 cells confirmed that the compounds targeted tubulin and induced multinucleation, which is a recognised sign of mitotic catastrophe. Computational docking studies of compounds 19e, 21l, and 24 in the colchicine binding site of tubulin indicated potential binding conformations for the compounds. Compounds 19e and 21l were also shown to selectively inhibit aromatase. These compounds are promising candidates for development as antiproliferative, aromatase inhibitory, and microtubule‐disrupting agents for breast cancer.

SG-1 was previously identified as a potent Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) which works through inhibition of reverse transcriptase (RT) RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity via a direct binding event. To further investigate the relationship between its structure and activity, four series of novel analogues were designed and synthesized with 12 of them inhibiting HIV-1 replication with IC50s in the range 0.09–6.71 μM. Compound 4b, 4c, 4f, 2 and 6b were further tested on two NNRTI-resistant HIV-1 strains and one NNRTI-resistant superbug. The result showed that RT- E138K/M184V mutant virus conferred 4.7–9.1-fold resistance to 4c, 4f, 2 and 6b, but only showed slight resistance to 4b (2-fold) which was better than SG-1.

Previous investigations on the incubation of phenstatin with rat and human microsomal fractions revealed the formation of nine main metabolites. The structures of eight of these metabolites have been now confirmed by synthesis and their biological properties have been reported. Eaton's reagent was utilized as a convenient condensing agent, allowing, among others, a simple multigram scale preparation of phenstatin. Synthesized metabolites and related compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity in the NCI-60 cancer cell line panel, and for their effect on microtubule assembly. Metabolite 23 (2′-methoxyphenstatin) exhibited the most potent in vitro cytotoxic activity: inhibition of the growth of K-562, NCI-H322M, NCI-H522, KM12, M14, MDA-MB-435, NCI/ADR-RES, and HS 578T cell lines with GI50 values 50 = 3.2 μM vs 15.0 μM) and induced G2/M arrest in murine leukemia DA1-3b cells. The identification of this active metabolite led to the design and synthesis of analogs with potent in vitro cytotoxicity and inhibition of microtubule assembly.

A series of new bromophenols and chlorophenols were prepared by a practical route. The in vitro antioxidative activity of the halophenols was evaluated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay, and their cytoprotective activity was also tested on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). All halophenols tested displayed moderate to good DPPH radical-scavenging activity, and two bromophenols, 2,3′-dibromo-4,5,6′-trihydroxydiphenylmethanone (16c) and 2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxydiphenylmethanone (17c) exhibited high protective activity against H2O2-induced injury in HUVEC with EC50 values of 0.4 and 0.8 μM, respectively. The preliminary structure-activity relationships of these compounds were also investigated in order to determine the essential structures required for their bioactivities.

A newly discovered antineoplastic compound denominated “phenstatin” is herein described as are synthetic methods for producing phenstatin and the active prodrug thereof. Phenstatin was converted to the sodium phosphate prodrug (3d) by a dibenzylphosphite

A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of the South African willow tree (Combretum caffrum) antineoplastic constituent combretastatin A- 4 (1b) directed at maintaining the (Z)stilbene relationship of the olefin diphenyl substituents led to synthesis of a potent cancer cell growth inhibitor designated phenstatin (3b). Initially phenstatin silyl ether (3a) was unexpectedly obtained by Jacobsen oxidation of combretastatin A-4 silyl ether (1c → 3a), and the parent phenstatin (3b) was later synthesized (6a → 3a → 3b) in quantity. Phenstatin was converted to the sodium phosphate prodrug (3d) by a dibenzyl phosphite phosphorylation and subsequent hydrogenolysis sequence (3b → 3c → 3d). Phenstatin (3b) inhibited growth of the pathogenic bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and was a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and the binding of colchicine to tubulin comparable to combretastatin A-4 (1b). Interestingly, the prodrugs were found to have reduced activity in these biochemical assays. While no significant tubulin activity was observed with the phosphorylated derivative of combretastatin A- 4 (1d), phosphate 3d retained detectable inhibitory effects in both assays.

General protocols for the construction of various ring systems employing cation olefin cyclizations initiated by the readily accessible 1,3-benzodithiolium ion are described.Several substituted tetralones and tetralins can be rapidly assembled by this methodology as can a variety of substituted bicyclooctane and tricyclic ring systems.The products of these transformations are amenable to interconversion into a range of functionalized species.
