Synthesis and biological evaluation of epothilone A dimeric compounds.

چکیده
The preparation and biological evaluation of a novel series of dimeric epothilone A derivatives (1-6) are described. Two types of diacyl spacers were introduced to establish the various dimeric epothilone A constructs. The effect of these compounds on tubulin polymerization and their cytotoxicity against four different cancer cell lines are reported. Several of the newly synthesized compounds inhibit endothelial cell differentiation and endothelial cell migration that are key steps of the angiogenic process.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 12,13-cyclopropyl and 12,13-cyclobutyl epothilones.
With some members in clinical trials, the epothilones command attention as potential anticancer agents of considerable promise. In addition to several naturally occurring substances, an impressive array of epothilone analogues has been constructed and biologically evaluated. 2] We have previously reported the apartialo construction of two 12,13-cyclopropyl epothilone A analogues. Their structur...

The design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of cyclopropyl and cyclobutyl epothilone analogues (3-12, Figure 1) are described. The synthetic strategies toward these epothilones involved a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling to form the C15-C16 carbon-carbon bond, an aldol reaction to construct the C6-C7 carbon-carbon bond, and a Yamaguchi macrolactonization to complete the re...
متن کاملDesign, synthesis and biological evaluation of bridged epothilone D analogues.
Six epothilone D analogues with a bridge between the C4-methyl and the C12-methyl carbons were prepared in an attempt to constrain epothilone D to its proposed tubulin-binding conformation. Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) was employed as the key step to build the C4-C26 bridge. In antiproliferative assays in the human ovarian cancer (A2780) and prostate cancer (PC3) cell lines, and also in tubuli...
متن کاملRecent developments in the chemistry and biology of epothilones
Epothilones (Epo’s) are bacterial natural products which are potent inhibitors of human cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Tumor growth inhibition is based on the stabilization of cellular microtubules and at least seven epothilone-derived agents are presently undergoing clinical evaluation in humans. While all of these compounds are closely related structurally to the natural prod...
