5-Deazaflavins and their homologues have been known as potential riboflavin antagonists, bioreductives, and compounds with potent antitumor activity 2-Amino-4-methylquinoline-3-carbonitrile (2) was prepared as unreported starting material for several interesting 2-deoxo-5-deazalloxazine derivatives. Cyclization of 2 using formamide afforded the 2,4-deoxo-5-dea-zaalloxazine derivative 7, which was subjected to deamination with nitrous acid to give the 2-deoxo-5-deazaalloxazine (8). The compound 8 was also obtained via 13 by treating the latter with refluxing formic acid or formamide and used as a recursor for synthesis of several 2-deoxo-5-deazaalloxazines 18, 19 , 20, 21 and 22. The pharmacological and biological properties of these compounds are still under investigation. Copyright
