- ItemExpanding the chemical space of aryloxy-naphthoquinones as potential anti-Chagasic agents: synthesis and trypanosomicidal activity(SPRINGER BIRKHAUSER, 2021) Becerra, Nohemi A.; Espinosa Bustos, Christian; Vazquez, Karina; Rivera, Gildardo; Paulino, Margot; Cantero, Jorge; Nogueda, Benjamin; Chacon Vargas, Fabiola; Castillo Velazquez, Uziel; Elizondo Rodriguez, Ana F.; Toledo, Sofia; Moreno Rodriguez, Adriana; Aranda, Mario; Salas, Cristian O.In continuation our effort to research the chemical space of aryloxy-naphthoquinones as potential anti-Chagas agents, we synthesized nine derivatives and these compounds were evaluated in vitro against the epimastigote and trypomastigote forms of Mexican strains of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). Most of these derivatives are highly active against epimastigote forms (IC50 < 1.0 mu M) compared to the reference drug benznidazole (Bzn). Then these were evaluated on trypomastigotes, which is showing better potency results than Bzn for compounds 3b and 3g. In addition, the cytotoxicity of these compounds was determined on the murine macrophage cell line J774. 3b and 3i were the most selective compounds against NINOA trypomastigote and INC-5 epimastigote forms, respectively. Further these compounds also have good oral bioavailability according to theoretical predictions. Finally, we were able to determine optimal substitution patterns using pharmacophoric models. All these results are provided very useful structural information to continue our designing of naphthoquinone derivatives against T. cruzi.
- ItemPhenoxy- and Phenylamino-Heterocyclic Quinones: Synthesis and Preliminary Anti-Pancreatic Cancer Activity(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2022) Sanchez, Patricio; Salas, Cristian O.; Gallardo-Fuentes, Sebastian; Villegas, Alondra; Veloso, Nicolas; Honores, Jessica; Inman, Martyn; Isaacs, Mauricio; Contreras, Renato; Moody, Christopher J.; Cisterna, Jonathan; Brito, Ivan; Tapia, Ricardo A.The successful application of fragment-based drug discovery strategy for the efficient synthesis of phenoxy- or phenylamino-2-phenyl-benzofuran, -benzoxazole and -benzothiazole quinones is described. Interestingly, in the final step of the synthesis of the target compounds, unusual results were observed on the regiochemistry of the reaction of bromoquinones with phenol and aniline. A theoretical study was carried out for better understanding the factors that control the regiochemistry of these reactions. The substituted heterocyclic quinones were evaluated in vitro to determine their cytotoxicity by the MTT method in three pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIA-PaCa-2, BxPC-3, and AsPC-1). Phenoxy benzothiazole quinone 26a showed potent cytotoxic activity against BxPC-3 cell lines, while phenylamino benzoxazole quinone 20 was the most potent on MIA-PaCa-2 cells. Finally, electrochemical properties of these quinones were determined to correlate with a potential mechanism of action. All these results, indicate that the phenoxy quinone fragment led to compounds with increased activity against pancreatic cancer cells.
- Item(-)-Shikimic Acid as a Chiral Building Block for the Synthesis of New Cytotoxic 6-Aza-Analogues of Angucyclinones(2018) Quinones, Natalia; Hernandez, Santiago; Espinoza Catalan, Luis; Villena, Joan; Brito, Ivan; Cabrera Caballero, Alan Raúl; Salas, Cristian O.; Cuellar Fritis, Mauricio Alcides
- ItemStudies on the Michael addition of naphthoquinones to sugar nitro olefins: first synthesis of polyhydroxylated hexahydro-11H-benzo[a]carbazole-5,6-diones and hexahydro-11bH-benzo[b]carbazole-6,11-diones(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012) Otero, Jose M.; Barcia, Jose C.; Salas, Cristian O.; Thomas, Pablo; Estevez, Juan C.; Estevez, Ramon J.A strategy for the synthesis of the novel (6bR,7R,8S,9S,10S,10aR)-8-(benzyloxy)-7,9,10-trihydroxy-6b,7,8,9,10,10a-hexahydro-11H-benzo[a]carbazole-5,6-dione is reported. The key steps were the Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone to 1-nitrocyclohexene or 3-O-benzyl-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-6-nitro-alpha-D-xylo-hex-5-enefuranose and the diastereoselective intramolecular Henry reaction of 3-O-benzyl-5,6-dideoxy-S-C-(3'-hydroxy-1',4'-naphthoquinon-2'-yl)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-6-nitro-alpha-D-glucofuranose to give the key (1S,25,35,4R,5R,6R)-3-(benzyloxy)-1,2,4-trihydroxy-5-(3'-hydroxy-1',4'-naphthoquinon-2'-yl)-6-nitrocyclohexane. When 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone was replaced by (1,4-dimethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)lithium, the novel (1R,2S,35,4R,4aS,11bS)-2-(benzyloxy)-1,3,4-trihydroxy-1,2,3,4,4a,5-hexahydro-11bH-benzo[b]carbazole-6,11-dione was obtained.
