(-)-Shikimic Acid as a Chiral Building Block for the Synthesis of New Cytotoxic 6-Aza-Analogues of Angucyclinones.

ABSTRACT: We describe the syntheses of nine new angucyclinone 6-aza-analogues, achieved through a hetero Diels-Alder reaction between the shikimic acid derivative-azadiene 13, with different naphthoquinones. The cytotoxic activity of the new synthesized compounds and five angucyclinones, previously reported, was evaluated in vitro against three cancer cell lines: PC-3 (prostate cancer), HT-29 (colon cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer), and one non-tumoral cell line, human colon epithelial cells (CCD841 CoN). Our results showed that most 6-azadiene derivatives exhibited significant cytotoxic activities, which was demonstrated by their IC50 values (less than 10 μM), especially for the most sensitive cells, PC-3 and HT-29. From a chemical point of view, depending on the protected group of ring A and the pattern of substitution on ring D, cytotoxicity elicited these compounds, in terms of their potency and selectivity. Therefore, according to these chemical features, the most promising agents for every cancer cell line were 7a, 17, and 19c for PC-3 cells; 7a, 17, and 20 for HT-29 cells, and 19a for MCF-7 cells.

Project description:We report on the synthesis and characterization of novel mesoporous chiral polyboronates obtained by condensation of (R,S)/(S,S)-hexane-1,2,5,6-tetrol (HT) with simple aromatic diboronic acids (e.g., 1,3-benzenediboronic acid) (BDB). HT is a cellulose-derived building block comprising two 1,2-diol structures linked by a flexible ethane bridge. It typically consists of two diastereomers one of which [(S,R)-HT] can be made chirally pure. Boronic acids are abundantly available due to their importance in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. They are generally considered nontoxic and easy to synthesize. Reactive dissolution of generally sparingly soluble HT with BDB, in only a small amount of solvent, yields the mesoporous HT/polyboronate materials by spontaneous precipitation from the reaction mixture. The 3D nature of HT/polyboronate materials results from the entanglement of individual 1D polymeric chains. The obtained BET surface areas (SAs) and pore volumes (PVs) depend strongly on HT's diastereomeric excess and the meta/para orientation of the boronic acids on the phenyl ring. This suggests a strong influence of the curvature(s) of the 1D polymeric chains on the final materials' properties. Maximum SA and PV values are respectively 90 m2 g-1 and 0.44 mL g-1. Variably sized mesopores, spanning mainly the 5-50 nm range, are evidenced. The obtained pore volumes rival the ones of some covalent organic frameworks (COFs), yet they are obtained in a less expensive and more benign fashion. Moreover, currently no COFs have been reported with pore diameters in excess of 5 nm. In addition, chiral boron-based COFs have presently not been reported. Scanning electron microscopy reveals the presence of micrometer-sized particles, consisting of aggregates of plates, forming channels and cell-like structures. X-ray diffraction shows the crystalline nature of the material, which depends on the nature of the aromatic diboronic acids and, in the specific case of 1,4-benzenediboronic acid, also on the applied diastereomeric excess in HT.

Project description:UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND:Thromboxane A2 is derived from arachidonic acid through the action of cyclooxygenases and thromboxane synthase. It is mainly formed in blood platelets upon activation and plays an important role in aggregation. Aspirin is effective in reducing the incidence of complications following acute coronary syndrome and stroke. The anti-thrombotic effect of aspirin is obtained through the irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenases. Analogues of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 13-hydroxyocatdecadienoic acid were shown previously to modulate platelet activation and to block thromboxane receptors. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:We synthesized 10 compounds based on the structures of analogues of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 13-hydroxyocatdecadienoic acid and evaluated their effect on platelet aggregation triggered by arachidonic acid. The structure activity relationship was evaluated. Five compounds showed a significant inhibition of platelet aggregation and highlighted the importance of the lipidic hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and the phenol group. Their IC50 ranged from 7.5?±?0.8 to 14.2?±?5.7 ?M (Mean ± S.E.M.). All five compounds decreased platelet aggregation and thromboxane synthesis in response to collagen whereas no modification of platelet aggregation in response to thromboxane receptor agonist, U46619, was observed. Using COS-7 cells overexpressing human cyclooxygenase-1, we showed that these compounds are specific inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-1 with IC50 ranging from 1.3 to 12 ?M. Docking observation of human recombinant cyclooxygenase-1 supported a role of the phenol group in the fitting of cyclooxygenase-1, most likely related to hydrogen bonding with the Tyr 355 of cyclooxygenase-1. CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion, the compounds we synthesized at first based on the structures of analogues of 12 lipoxygenase metabolites showed a role of the phenol group in the anti-platelet and anti-cyclooxygenase-1 activities. These compounds mediate their effects via blockade of cyclooxygenase-1.
