To establish a new approach for the synthesis of quinoxaline 1,4-dioxides as hypoxia-selective cytotoxic agents, an original multi-step preparation of derivatives possessing the diamine moiety at position 7 was evaluated. Herein, we present the synthesis of a series of novel 7-amino-6-halogeno-3-phenylquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides 13a-h, 14a,b,g based on the regioselective Beirut reaction. Comparison of antitumor properties of derivatives possessing the diamine moiety at position 7 with structurally close congeners possessing the corresponding amino groups at position 6 revealed key differences in the cytotoxicity profiles and HIF-1α inhibition. All the synthesized 7-amino-6-halogeno derivatives 13a-h, 14a,b,g demonstrated significant cytotoxic activities against breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, MDA-MB-231) in normoxia and hypoxia with IC50 values ranging from 0.1 to 7.6 μM. Most of these novel derivatives can circumvent the multidrug resistance of tumor cells caused by P-glycoprotein over expression. The lead compounds 13a, 14a and 14b can suppress the expression of HIF-1α at low micromolar concentrations and induce apoptosis in breast cancer MCF7 cells. In addition, compound 14b effectively inhibits BCL2 and ERα expression in MCF7 cells. The current research opens a new direction for targeting hypoxia and drug resistance of cancer cells.3-Oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile(cas: 614-16-4SDS of cas: 614-16-4) was used in this study.
3-Oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile(cas: 614-16-4) has been used to produce 2-benzoyl-3-furan-2-yl-acrylonitrile. It is an active methylene compound, useful in heterocyclic synthesis, e.g. polyfunctional pyridines and pyrimidines.SDS of cas: 614-16-4
