The synthesis of five novel homodimers is reported based on the anilinoisoquinolinequinone scaffold. In these twin-drug derivatives, two units of the anilinoquinone pharmacophores are linked through a methylene spacer. The formation of dimers was achieved by reaction of isoquinolinequinones with 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane via a sequence of two oxidative amination reactions. A preliminary in vitro screening of the homodimers reveals moderate to high cytotoxic activities against MDA-MB-21 breast adenocarcinoma and B16-F10 murine metastatic melanoma cell lines. The asymmetrical homodimer stands out due to its cytotoxic potencies at submicromolar concentrations and high selectivity index (mean IC = 0.37 μM; SI = 6.97) compared to those of etoposide (mean IC = 3.67; SI = 0.32) and taxol (mean IC = 0.35; SI = 0.91) employed as reference anticancer drugs.
报道了基于苯胺异喹啉醌骨架的 5 种新型同二聚体的合成。在这些双联药物衍生物中,通过亚甲基间隔基将两个苯胺醌药效团单元连接起来。通过异喹啉醌与 4,4'-二氨基二苯甲烷的反应,经过两个氧化氨化反应序列,形成了二聚体。对同二聚体的初步体外筛选显示,它们对 MDA-MB-21 乳腺癌腺癌细胞系和 B16-F10 鼠转移性黑色素瘤细胞系具有中等至高的细胞毒性活性。不对称同二聚体 由于其在亚微摩尔浓度下的细胞毒性效力和高选择性指数(平均 IC = 0.37 μM;SI = 6.97)而引人注目,与作为参考抗癌药物的依托泊苷(平均 IC = 3.67;SI = 0.32)和紫杉醇(平均 IC = 0.35;SI = 0.91)相比。
