We report the first example of a C2-C3/C2'-C3'-endo unsaturated pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) dimer 16 synthesised through a new and efficient route, thus establishing that C2-C3-endo unsaturation enhances both cytotoxicity and DNA-binding affinity in A-Ring-linked PBD dimers but to a lesser extent than C2/C2'-exo-unsaturation. This new route has allowed the preparation of multi-gram quantities of the related clinical candidate 1 and should lead to more structurally diverse PBD dimer analogues.
我们报道了通过一条新的高效路线合成的C2-C3/C2'-C3'-内型不饱和吡咯并[2,1-c][1,4]苯并二氮杂卓(PBD)二聚体16的首个实例,从而证实C2-C3-内型不饱和增强了A环连接的PBD二聚体的细胞毒性和DNA结合亲和力,但程度小于C2/C2'-外型不饱和。这条新路线使得能够制备数克量的相关临床候选药物1,并有望产生更多结构多样的PBD二聚体类似物。
