The 3,4-diyne substituted isocoumarins have been designed, synthesized and explored as potential anti-proliferative agents.
Ultrasound assisted synthesis of these compounds was carried out by using a three-step method involving (i) Pd/C-Cu catalyzed cross-coupling between the methyl 2-iodobenzoate and buta- 1,3-diynylbenzene followed by (ii) I2-mediated electrophilic cyclization of the resultant 2-(alk-1- ynyl)benzoate ester and (iii) subsequent alkynylation of 4-iodo-3-(phenylethynyl)-isocoumarin under Pd/C-Cu catalysis.
The synthesized compounds showed promising growth inhibition when tested against MDA-MB 231 and K562 cancer cell lines.
3,4-二炔取代的异香豆素已被设计、合成并作为潜在的抗增殖剂进行了探索。
通过三步法,使用超声辅助合成这些化合物,包括(i)Pd/C-Cu 催化的甲酯 2-碘苯甲酸与丁-1,3-二炔基苯之间的交叉偶联,接着(ii)碘介导的所得 2-(烷-1-炔基)苯甲酸酯的亲电环化,以及(iii)在 Pd/C-Cu 催化下,4-碘-3-(苯乙炔基)异香豆素的炔基化。
合成的化合物在测试对 MDA-MB 231 和 K562 癌细胞系的生长抑制作用时表现出良好的效果。
