The intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of alkynes with disulfides to form thieno[2,3-b]quinoxaline structures and to introduce thioether substituents afforded quinoxaline derivatives (7a-7d, 8a-8d). Among obtained eight derivatives, the raloxifene analogues (7c, 8b) showed specifically high cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells (SK-BR-3), and raloxifene analogues (8a) showed the highest cytotoxicity against human leukemia cells (HL-60). None of the raloxifene analogues (7a-7d, 8a-8d) showed cytotoxicity against human lung fibroblasts (WI-38), which are normal cells.
炔烃与二硫化物的分子内亲电环化反应形成噻吩[2,3-b]喹喔啉结构并引入硫醚取代基,得到喹喔啉衍生物(7a-7d、8a-8d)。在所得到的八个衍生物中,雷洛昔芬类似物(7c、8b)对乳腺癌细胞(SK-BR-3)表现出特别高的细胞毒性,而雷洛昔芬类似物(8a)对人白血病细胞(HL-60)表现出最高的细胞毒性。雷洛昔芬类似物(7a-7d、8a-8d)对正常细胞人肺成纤维细胞(WI-38)均无细胞毒性。
