Structural influence of indole C5-N-substitutents on the cytotoxicity of seco-duocarmycin analogs

A series of racemic indole C5-substituted seco-cyclopropylindoline compounds (2,3 and 5-7) were prepared by coupling 1-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-3- (chlorocarbonyl)indoline (seg-A) with 5,6,7-trimethoxy-, 5,6-dimethoxy-, 5-amino-, 5-methylsulfonylamino- and 5-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonylamino) indole-2-carboxylic acid as seg-B in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3- dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide. The synthetic compounds (2,3 and 5-7) were tested for cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines (COLO 205, SK-MEL-2, A549, and JEG-3) using the MTT assay.

Synthesis of phenylalanine analogs

A straight forward synthesis of phenylalanine analogs is described. Cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) mediated addition of azide to cinnamicester, followed by reaction with sodium acetate aff orded the α-azidocinnamate in moderate yield. Hydrogenation of α-azidocinnamate, followed by BOC, CBZ or Fmoc protection gave phenylalanine analogs. A new approach for synthesizing racemic p-boronophenylalanine analog was also explored.
