摘要
A 23-member C2-aryl pyrrolo[2, 1-c][ 1,4]benzodiazepine-5,1 1-dione (PBD dilactam) library has been synthesized using Suzuki coupling, and the effect of base upon racernisation at the C11a-position during the cross-coupling reaction studied. Three library members (21, 30 and 33) were sufficiently cytotoxic in the NCI's preliminary screen to warrant further evaluation, and one (30, R = p-Br) was found to be cytotoxic at the sub-micromolar level in the A498 renal cancer cell line. DNA thermal denaturation studies suggested that this activity may be associated with non-covalent DNA interaction, and also demonstrated that introduction of C2-C3 unsaturation and addition of C2-aryl functionalities to the PBD dilactam skeleton significantly enhanced helix stabilisation compared to the unsubstituted PBD dilactam (6).
