In this study, novel linear 3-(arylamino)naphtho[2,3-b]furan-2,4,9(3H)-trione derivatives has been synthesized via annulation reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone with aromatic amines and glyoxylic acid monohydrate using p-TSOH as catalyst at ambient temperature for the first time. The mechanism proceeds via an initial intermolecular aldol condensation, subsequent Michael addition, and final intramolecular nucleophilic annulation. The linear or angular configurations of the products was confirmed through - C heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) analysis. To evaluate the inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds, computational methods such as molecular docking and ADME analysis were employed. Compounds 4h and 4i displayed potent activity against tested estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) as compared to Doxorubicin.
在本研究中,首次在室温下以对甲苯磺酸为催化剂,通过2-羟基-1,4-萘醌与芳香胺和一水合乙醛酸的环化反应合成了新型线性3-(芳基氨基)萘并[2,3-b]呋喃-2,4,9(3H)-三酮衍生物。该反应机理首先经过分子间羟醛缩合,随后是迈克尔加成,最后是分子内亲核环化。通过碳-碳异核多键相关(HMBC)分析确定了产物的线性或角形构型。为了评估合成化合物的抑制活性,采用了分子对接和ADME分析等计算方法。与阿霉素相比,化合物4h和4i对测试的雌激素受体α(ERα)显示出较强的活性。
