Synthesis and Molecular-cellular Mechanistic Study of Pyridine Derivative of Dacarbazine

چکیده
Dacarbazine is an antitumor prodrug which is used for the treatment of malignant metastatic melanoma and Hodgkin's disease. It requires initial activation in liver through an N-demethylationreaction. The active metabolite prevents the progress of disease via alkylation of guanine bases in DNA strands. In order to investigate the importance of imidazole ring and its dynamictautomerization in anticancer activity of dacarbazine, a pyridine analog of this drug was synthesized and the cytotoxic activity and cellular-molecular mechanisms of action for this compound were compared with those of dacarbazine. EC50 values for dacarbazine and the pyridine analog were found to be 56 μM and 33 μM respectively. Both dacarbazine and the pyridine analog resulted in formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon their addition to the isolated rat hepatocytes. They also decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and causedlysosomal membrane rupture. Cytotoxicity was prevented by ROS scavengers and antioxidants. Cytotoxicity wasalso prevented by CYP450 inhibitors, lysosomalinactivators and MPT (Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore) blockers.

KAl(SO4)2.12H2O is found to efficiently and heterogeneously catalyze the one-pot three-component reaction of 2-(nitromethylene)imidazolidine, malononitrile and aldehydes under mild conditions to afford the corresponding tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine in good yields and short reaction times. Docking study of some compounds in the active site of α-glucosidase demonstrated that these...
