A facile one-pot synthesis of C-ring substituted angular luotonins has been realized via a methanesulfonic acid mediated aza-Nazarov-Friedlander condensation sequence on quinazolinonyl enones. Topoisomerase I (topo-I) inhibition studies revealed that the angular luotonin library (7a-7l) and their regioisomeric analogs (linear luotonins, 8a-8l) are weak negative modulators, compared to camptothecin. These results would fare well for the design of topo-I-inert luotonins for non-oncological applications such as anti-fungal and insecticide lead developments. Surprisingly, the tricyclic vasicinones (9h, 9i, and 9j) showed better topo-I inhibition compared to pentacyclic C-aryl luotonins providing a novel pharmacophore for further explorations.
通过在喹唑啉酮烯酮上进行甲磺酸介导的氮杂-Nazarov-Friedlander 缩合反应,实现了 C-环取代的角型卢酮的简便一锅合成。拓扑异构酶 I(topo-I)抑制研究表明,与喜树碱相比,角型卢酮文库(7a-7l)及其区域异构体类似物(线性卢酮,8a-8l)是弱负调节剂。这些结果非常适合设计拓扑异构酶 I 惰性卢酮,用于非肿瘤学应用,如抗真菌和杀虫剂先导物的开发。令人惊讶的是,与五环 C-芳基卢酮相比,三环 vasicinones(9h、9i 和 9j)显示出更好的 topo-I 抑制作用,为进一步探索提供了新的药效团。
