A robust procedure for the production of [1,2]dithiolo[4,3- b ]indole-3(4 H)-thione analogues using a DABCO/S 2 Cl 2 complex as a sulfur source via a C-H activated approach.

A series of 7,8-dialkylpyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazolines were prepared as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). On the basis of an apparent inverse relationship between compound size and antifungal activity, the compounds were designed to be relatively small and compact. Inhibitor design was aided by a GRID analysis of the three-dimensional structure of Candida albicans DHFR, which suggested that relatively small, branched alkyl groups at the 7- and 8-positions of the pyrroloquinazoline ring system would provide optimal interactions with a hydrophobic region of the protein. The compounds were potent inhibitors of fungal and human DHFR, with K(i) values as low as 7.1 and 0.1 pM, respectively, and were highly active against C. albicans and an array of tumor cell lines. In contrast to known lipophilic inhibitors of DHFR such as trimetrexate and piritrexim, members of this series of pyrroloquinazolines were not susceptible to P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance and also showed significant distribution into lung and brain tissue. The compounds were active in lung and brain tumor models and displayed in vivo activity against Pneumocystis carinii and C. albicans.

The conformations of the isopropyl groups in a series of 1- and 3-isopropylindoles have been studied by 1H NMR and molecular mechanics technique.The isopropyl group is shown to assume both syn and an anti conformation, and the equilibrium between these is shown to depend on the steric size of the substituent in position 2.The syn form is relatively more favoured in the 3- than in the 1-isopropylindoles, which can be explained by differences in the lengths of the ring bonds to N-1 and C-3.The energy barriers to syn-anti exchange are 45-46 kJ mol-1 in the 1-iPr compounds when R2=Me or CO2Me.This barrier is lower in the 3-iPr analogues and could only be measured when R1=iPr, R2=Me (35 kJ mol-1).In the 1-iPr compounds a 3-Me group exerts no observable buttressing effect on a 2-Me group, unlike the situation in 1-iso-propylnaphthalenes, where introduction of a 3-Me group leads to an apparent diminution of the steric effect of the 2-Me group ("negative buttressing").In 1-isopropyl-2-methylindole a 3-Br also exerts a negative buttressing effect.
