The synthesis of aromathecins, substituted 12H-5,l la-diazadibenzo[b,h]fluoren- 11 -ones is described. Use of these cytotoxic compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them for the treatment of cancer is described. Two novel processes for the synthesis of this system and a series of 14-substituted aromathecins as novel cytotoxic, topoisomerase I poisons are described.

The aromathecin topoisomerase I (top1) inhibitors offer promising scaffolds for the development of novel cancer chemotherapeutics. They are 'composites' of the camptothecin and indenoisoquinoline top1 inhibitors. Interestingly, some structure-activity relationship (SAR) overlap between the aromathecins and the indenoisoquinolines has been observed. For both classes, placement of certain polar groups in similar regions of the heteroaromatic system improves top1 inhibitory and antiproliferative activities. A series of water-soluble aromathecins substituted at position 14 with diaminoalkanes of various lengths has been prepared. These compounds all possess similar antiproliferative potency, but a general trend is observed: aromathecins with longer diaminoalkane substituents (>6 carbons) possess lower anti-top1 activity than their smaller counterparts (2-4 carbons), presumably as a result of unfavorable hydrophobic interactions. This trend is also noted with the indenoisoquinolines, revealing additional SAR overlap that supports the hypothesis that there is a 'universal' top1 inhibitor SAR.
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 14-substituted aromathecins as topoisomerase I inhibitors

The aromathecin or "rosettacin" class of topoisomerase I (top1) inhibitors is effectively a "composite" of the natural products camptothecin and luotonin A and the synthetic indenoisoquinolines. The aromathecins have aroused considerable interest following the isolation and total synthesis of 22-hydroxyacuminatine, a rare cytotoxic natural product containing the 12H-5,11a-diazadibenzo[b,h]fluoren-11-one system. We have developed two novel syntheses of this system and prepared a series of 14-substituted aromathecins as novel antiproliferative topoisomerase I poisons. These inhibitors are proposed to act via an intercalation and "poisoning" mechanism identical to camptothecin and the indenoisoquinolines. Many of these compounds possess greater antiproliferative activity and anti-top 1 activity than the parent unsubstituted compound (rosettacin) and previously synthesized aromathecins, as well as greater top1 inhibitory activity than 22-hydroxyacuminatine. In addition to potentially aiding solubility and localization to the DNA-enzyme complex, nitrogenous substituents located at the 14-position of the aromathecin system have been proposed to project into the major groove of the top1-DNA complex and hydrogen-bond to major-groove amino acids, thereby stabilizing the ternary complex.

Desai,Chaphekar,Samant
, p. 810 - 813 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of 3-bromo/chloro phthalide 1a/b with secondary amines in polar solvents gives the corresponding amides of 2-formylbenzoic acid, while in nonpolar solvents gives 3-aminophthalides. The reaction of 1a/b with aromatic primary amines gives 3-arylaminophthalides, while with aliphatic primary amines 3-hydroxyphthalimidines are obtained.

Effect of Nucleophilicity and Leaving Group Ability on the SN2 Reactions of Amines with (Acyloxy)alkyl α-Halides: A Product Distribution Study
Sloan, Kenneth B.,Koch, Suzanne A. M.
, p. 635 - 640 (2007/10/02)
The course of the reaction of amines with (acyloxy)alkyl α-halides has been found to depend on the nucleophilicity of the amines and the leaving group ability of the halides.More nucleophilic amines tended to give acylated products 2 from the reaction while less nucleophilic amines gave alkylated products 3.The use of a better leaving group also tended to favor the formation of a greater amount of alkylated product.These results have been compared to the observations of Westaway on the effect of leaving group ability and nucleophilicity on the bond lengths in the transit ion state of SN2 reactions.In addition, secondary amines have been shown to cause the rearrangement of 2-formylbenzamides to 3-amino-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones.

The influence of neighbouring groups on the structure and reactivity patterns of over one hundred acid chlorides derived from γ- and δ-keto acids, 1,2- and 1,3-dicarboxylic acid half-esters and diacid chlorides have been examined.Contrary to reports in the literature, text books and monographs, evidence has been obtained for the non-existence of tautomerism between the isomeric pairs of either acid chlorides or half-ester acid chlorides.ce.
