Synthesis and evaluation of 5-(arylthio)-9H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole-2,4-diamines as receptor tyrosine kinase and thymidylate synthase inhibitors and as antitumor agents.


ABSTRACT: In an effort to optimize the structural requirements for combined cytostatic and cytotoxic effects in single agents, a series of 5-(arylthio)-9H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole-2,4-diamines 3-7 were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) as well as thymidylate synthase (TS). The synthesis of these compounds involved the nucleophilic displacement of the common intermediate 5-bromo/5-chloro-9H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole-2,4-diamine with appropriate aryl thiols. A novel four step synthetic scheme to the common intermediate was developed which is more efficient relative to the previously reported six-step sequence. Biological evaluation of these compounds indicated dual activity in RTKs and human TS (hTS). In the VEGFR-2 assay, compound 5 was equipotent to the standard compound semaxanib and was better than standard TS inhibitor pemetrexed, in the hTS assay. Compounds 3, 6 and 7 were nanomolar inhibitors of hTS and were several fold better than pemetrexed.
