Search for a new alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone-bearing 6-substituted purine as a potential antitumor agent has led to synthesize seven, hitherto unreported, 5'-Methyl-5'-[(6-substituted-9H-purin-9-yl)methyl]-2'-oxo-3'- methylenetetrahydrofurans (H, Cl, I, CH3, NH2, SH, > C=O) (6a-g). These include 5'-Methyl-5'-[(9H-purin-9-yl)methyl]-2'-oxo-3'-methylenetetrahydrofur ans (6a), 5'-Methyl-5'-[(chloro-9H-purin-9-yl)methyl]-2'-oxo-3'- methylenetetrahydrofurans (6b), 5'-Methyl-5'-[(6-iodo-9H-purin-9-yl) methyl]-2'-oxo-3'-methylenetetrahydrofurans (6c), 5'-Methyl-5'-[(6-methyl-9H-purin-9-yl) methyl]-2'-oxo-3'-methylenetetrahydrofurans (6d), 5'-Methyl-5'-[(9H-adenin-9-yl)methyl]-2'-oxo-3-methylenetetrahy drofurans (6e), 5'-Methyl-5'-[(6-mercapto-9H-purin-9-yl) methyl]-2'-oxo-3'-methylenetetrahydrofurans (6f) and 5'-Methyl-5'-[(9H-hypoxanthin-9-yl)methyl]-2'-oxo-3'- methylenetetrahydrofurans (6g) which were made by the Reformatsky-type reaction of ethyl alpha-(bromomethyl) acrylate with the corresponding (6-substituted-9H-purin-9-yl)-2-propanone intermediates (5a-g). These ketone intermediates 5a-g, 1-(9H-purin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5a), 1-(6-chloro-9H-purin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5b), 1-(6-iodo-9H-purin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5c), 1-(6-methyl-9H-purin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5d), 1-(9H-adenin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5e), 1-(6-mercapto-9H-purin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5f), and 1-(9H-hypoxanthin-9-yl)-2-propanone (5g) were directly obtained by the alkylation of the 6-substituted purine bases with the chloroacetone in the presence of K2CO3 (or NaH) under DMF (or DMSO). The preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity assay for the synthetic alpha-methylene-gamma-butyro-lactone compounds (6a-g) were determined against three cell lines (PM-3A, P-388, and K-562) and showed the moderate antitumor activity (IC50 ranged from 1.4 to 4.3 micrograms/ml) with the compound 5'-methyl-5'-[(9H-hypoxanthin-9-yl)methyl]-2'-oxo-3'- methylenetetrahydrofuran (6g) showing the least antitumor activity.
寻找一种新型的带有α-亚甲基-γ-丁内酯的6-取代嘌呤作为潜在的抗肿瘤药物,已促使人们合成了七种迄今未报道的5'-甲基-5'-[(6-取代-9H-嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(H、Cl、I、CH3、NH2、SH、>C=O)(6a - g)。这些化合物包括5'-甲基-5'-[(9H-嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6a)、5'-甲基-5'-[(氯-9H-嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6b)、5'-甲基-5'-[(6-碘-9H-嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6c)、5'-甲基-5'-[(6-甲基-9H-嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6d)、5'-甲基-5'-[(9H-腺嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6e)、5'-甲基-5'-[(6-巯基-9H-嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6f)和5'-甲基-5'-[(9H-次黄嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6g),它们是通过α-(溴甲基)丙烯酸乙酯与相应的(6-取代-9H-嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮中间体(5a - g)进行Reformatsky型反应制得的。这些酮中间体5a - g,即1-(9H-嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5a)、1-(6-氯-9H-嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5b)、1-(6-碘-9H-嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5c)、1-(6-甲基-9H-嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5d)、1-(9H-腺嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5e)、1-(6-巯基-9H-嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5f)和1-(9H-次黄嘌呤-9-基)-2-丙酮(5g),是通过在K2CO3(或NaH)存在下,于DMF(或DMSO)中用氯丙酮对6-取代嘌呤碱进行烷基化反应直接得到的。对合成的α-亚甲基-γ-丁内酯化合物(6a - g)针对三种细胞系(PM - 3A、P - 388和K - 562)进行的初步体外细胞毒性试验表明,它们具有中等抗肿瘤活性(IC50范围为1.4至4.3微克/毫升),其中化合物5'-甲基-5'-[(9H-次黄嘌呤-9-基)甲基]-2'-氧代-3'-亚甲基四氢呋喃(6g)的抗肿瘤活性最低。
