A series of novel podophyllotoxin-naphthoquinone compounds 5a-p were synthesized in good yields using microwave-assisted four-component reactions of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, aromatic benzaldehydes, tetronic acid and ammonium acetate. All the synthesized compounds were fully characterized by spectral data and evaluated for their cytotoxicity activities against KB, HepG2, Lu1, MCF7, and non-cancerous Hek-293 cell lines. Among 16 new compounds screened, compounds 5a, 5d, 5h, and 5k displayed high potent inhibitory activities with IC < 40 nM against HepG2 and SK-Lu-1 cell lines, and showed lower toxicity for non-cancerous Hek-293 cell line, demonstrating the potential importance of these compounds in the development of potential anticancer agents.
采用微波辅助的四组分反应,以 2-羟基-1,4-萘醌、芳香苯甲醛、四氢呋喃酸和醋酸铵为原料,高产率地合成了一系列新型鬼臼毒素-萘醌类化合物 5a-p。所有合成的化合物均通过光谱数据进行了充分表征,并对其对 KB、HepG2、Lu1、MCF7 和非癌细胞系 Hek-293 的细胞毒性活性进行了评价。在所筛选的 16 种新化合物中,化合物 5a、5d、5h 和 5k 对 HepG2 和 SK-Lu-1 细胞系表现出高抑制活性,IC < 40 nM,对非癌细胞系 Hek-293 的毒性较低,表明这些化合物在开发潜在的抗癌药物方面具有重要意义。
