Synthesis and biological activity of fluorinated combretastatin analogues.
JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY(2008)
摘要
With the aim of understanding the influence of fluorine on the double bond of the cis-stilbene moiety of combretastatin derivatives and encouraged by a preliminary molecular modeling study showing a different biological environment on the interaction site with tubulin, we prepared, through various synthetic approaches, a small library of compounds in which one or both of the olefinic hydrogens were replaced with fluorine. X-ray analysis on the difluoro-CA-4 analogue demonstrated that the spatial arrangement of the molecule was not modified, compared to its nonfluorinated counterpart. SAR analysis confirmed the importance of the cis-stereochemistry of the stilbene scaffold. Nevertheless, some unpredicted results were observed on a few trans-fluorinated derivatives. The position of a fluorine atom on the double bond may affect the inhibition of tubulin polymerization and cytotoxic activity of these compounds.
