A promising antitumor xanthone derivative was optimized following a multidimensional approach that involved the synthesis of 17 analogues, the study of their lipophilicity and solubility, and the evaluation of their growth inhibitory activity on four human tumor cell lines. A new synthetic route for the hit xanthone derivative was also developed and applied for the synthesis of its analogues. Among the used cell lines, the HL-60 showed to be in general more sensitive to the compounds tested, with the most potent compound having a GI50 of 5.1 μM, lower than the hit compound. Lipophilicity was evaluated by the partition coefficient (Kp) of a solute between buffer and two membrane models, namely liposomes and micelles. The compounds showed a log Kp between 3 and 5 and the two membrane models showed a good correlation (r2 = 0.916) between each other. Studies concerning relationship between solubility and structure were developed for the hit compound and 5 of its analogues.

The reactions of trihydroxybenzenes 1a-c and 3-methylbut-2-enoic acid (2) in a zinc chloride/water/phosphoryl chloride system afford either the new trihydroxyphenylbutenone derivatives 3b,c or dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-chromanones 4a-c in good yields.Compounds 3b,c can be cyclized in high yields to 4b,c in 5percent sodium hydroxide solution.Regioselective O-alkylation of 4a-c leads to 5a-f in good yields.O-Alkylation of 5a-f, followed by reduction and dehydration, results in the formation of precocene 3 (7d) and its regioisomer 7a-c,e,f.Methylation of 4a-c gives 6g-i.Subsequent reduction and dehydration affords precocene 2 (7h) and its regiosiomers 7g,i.

2,2-Dimethylchromanones were very easily reduced to the corresponding alcohols by sodium borohydride-palladium chloride, and the alcohols were converted into the corresponding 2,2-dimethylchromenes by dehydration with potassium hydrogensulfate in high yields based on 2,2-dimethylchromanones
