(RS)-1-{[3-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-1-isopropoxy]propyl}-5-fluorouracil proved to be a good differentiating agent against rhabdomyosarcoma cells.
As lipophilicity is known to affect the anticancer activity, the synthesis of a wide range of 5-fluorouracil derivatives linked to benzo-fused seven-membered rings was undertaken.
The decision was then made to change 5-fluorouracil for uracil, with the prospect of finding an antiproliferative agent endowed with a new mechanism of action. Later on, pyrimidines were substituted for purines. Completing a structure-activity relationship study, a series of isosteric seven-membered derivatives were prepared.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Finally, molecules were designed in which both structural entities (such as the benzoheterocycle and the purine) were linked through a strong C-C bond. The anticancer activity for the most active compounds was correlated with their capability to induce apoptosis.
(RS)-1-[[3-(2-羟乙氧基)-1-异丙氧基]丙基]-5-氟尿嘧啶被证明是一种很好的横纹肌肉瘤细胞分化剂。
由于亲脂性已知会影响抗癌活性,因此合成了一系列与苯并稠合的七元环相连的 5-氟尿嘧啶衍生物。
然后决定用尿嘧啶代替 5-氟尿嘧啶,以期发现一种具有新作用机制的增殖抑制剂。后来,嘧啶取代了嘌呤。完成结构-活性关系研究后,制备了一系列等排七元环衍生物。
结果/结论:最后,设计了通过强 C-C 键连接两个结构实体(如苯并杂环和嘌呤)的分子。最活跃化合物的抗癌活性与其诱导细胞凋亡的能力相关。
