Synthesis and evaluation of 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides as potent anticancer agents

Indirubin, an active component in the traditional Chinese medicine formula Danggui Longhui Wan, shows promising anticancer effects. Meisoindigo is an analog derived from indirubin, which is less toxic and appears to be even more potent against cancer. In considering meisoindigo as a structural template for the development of new drugs, we designed and synthesized a series of 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides as novel anticancer agents. The acetamides were then evaluated for in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities. The 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides were found to have better anticancer activity than was indirubin-3'-oxime in several cancer cell lines and also displayed a spectrum of activity similar to that of the drug candidate roscovitine, a CDK inhibitor. Among the 3-ylideneoxindole acetamides, compound 10 showed particularly good efficacy. Cell cycle analysis further revealed that compound 10 arrested cells in the G1 phase and caused an increase in the sub-G1 population, indicating that the apoptosis pathway had been induced. In addition, exposure of cells to compound 10 led to the upregulation of the cell-cycle regulator cyclin D1, which was sustained at a high level. In contrast, the same compound induced a short-term elevation in the level of cyclin E, which was followed by a rapid decrease and the attenuation of Rb phosphorylation. Furthermore, a docking model suggests that compound 10 binds to the active site of CDK4. In testing the therapeutic potency of compound 10 on CT26-xenografted BALB/c mice, a significant reduction in tumor size comparable to that of cisplatin was found when administrated via the i.p. route. The mice presented no loss of body weight, indicating that this compound possesses low toxicity. In the future, we are planning in vivo investigations of these new active anticancer agents to better elucidate active mechanisms at the cellular level and thus benefit the development of anticancer therapies.

Synthesis of 2-, 4- And 5-(2-alkylcarbamoyl-l-methylvinyl)-7- alkyloxybenzo[b]furans and their leukotriene 64 receptor antagonistic activity

Variable benzo[6]furan derivatives having (E)- and (Z)-2-alkylcarbamoyl-l- methylvinyl groups at the 2-, 4- and 5-positions and a carboxylpropoxy or (1-phenyl)ethoxy group at the 7-position were prepared to find novel and selective leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonists. (E)-2-(2-Diethylcarbamoyl- l-methylvinyl)-7-(1-phenylethoxy)benzo[b]furan (4v) showed selective inhibition to the human BLT2 receptor (hBLT2). On the other hand, (E)-2-acetyl-4-(2-diethylcarbamoyl-l-methylvinyl)-7-(l-phenylethoxy)benzo[b] furan (7v) inhibited both human BLTi receptor (hBLT1) and hBLT 2. The (E)-2-(2-diethylcarbamoyl-l-methylvinyl) group lay on approximately the same plane as the benzo[e]furan ring, whereas the (E)-4-(2-diethylcarbamoyl-l-methylvinyl) group had the torsion angle (45.7°) from the benzo[e]furan ring plane. However, the (Z)-(2-alkylcarbamoyl-l- methylvinyl)benzo[b]furans were inactive. The inhibitory activity depended on the conformation of the 2-diethylcarbamoyl-l-methylvinyl group.

One-pot homolytic aromatic substitutions/HWE olefinations under microwave conditions for the formation of a small oxindole library

(Chemical Equation Presented) An efficient one-pot sequence comprising a homolytic aromatic substitution followed by an ionic Horner Wadsworth-Emmons olefination for the preparation of a small library of α,β-unsaturated oxindoles is presented. Microwave-induced heating is used to conduct these reactions. The homolytic aromatic substitution is mediated by the persistent radical effect.
