Synthesis of Tumor Selective Indole and 8-Hydroxyquinoline Skeleton Containing Di-, or Triarylmethanes with Improved Cytotoxic Activity
The reaction between glycine-type aminonaphthol derivatives substituted with 2- or 1-naphthol and indole or 7-azaindole has been tested. Starting from 2-naphthol as a precursor, the reaction led to the formation of ring-closed products, while in the case of a 1-naphthol-type precursor, the desired b...

Summary: | The reaction between glycine-type aminonaphthol derivatives substituted with 2- or 1-naphthol and indole or 7-azaindole has been tested. Starting from 2-naphthol as a precursor, the reaction led to the formation of ring-closed products, while in the case of a 1-naphthol-type precursor, the desired biaryl ester was isolated. The synthesis of a bifunctional precursor starting from 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, morpholine, and ethyl glyoxylate via modified Mannich reaction is reported. The formed Mannich base 10 was subjected to give bioconjugates with indole and 7-azaindole. The effect of the aldehyde component and the amine part of the Mannich base on the synthetic pathway was also investigated. In favor of having a preliminary overview of the structure-activity relationships, the derivatives have been tested on cancer and normal cell lines. In the case of bioconjugate 16, as the most powerful scaffold in the series bearing indole and a 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline skeleton, a potent toxic activity against the resistant Colo320 colon adenocarcinoma cell line was observed. Furthermore, this derivative was selective towards cancer cell lines showing no toxicity on non-tumor fibroblast cells. |
