Acridine derivatives. V. Synthesis and P388 antitumor activity of the novel 9‐anilino‐2,3‐ethylenedioxyacridines

Abstract: A new class of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)‐intercalating antitumor agents, novel 9‐anilino‐2,3‐ethylenedioxyacridines (five compounds) have been synthesized and evaluated for activity against P388 leukemia in vivo. A few of them possessed the same potency of antitumor activity as amsacrine (m‐AMSA) which is an important antitumor agent in clinical use.

“…It significantly simplifies the formation of aryl- [12] and azaaryl-substituted 9-AAs with EW groups, which are not accessible by using the standard "reverse" approach, which calls for nucleophilic substitution of the deactivated aminopyridines or aminopyrimidines with 9-chloroacridines. [12,13] An additional advantage of the one-pot S N Ar reaction with 9-AAs is the commercial availability of appropriately substituted 2-pyridyl and 2-pyrimidinyl halide reagents. We also attempted the preparation of dicarboxyl compounds 1f-h by treating 9-AA with 3-fluorophthalic, 4-bromoisophthalic and 2-bromoterephthalic acids 3f-h, respectively (Scheme 2).…”

“…Acridine derivatives (Nasim & Brychcy, 1979;Thull & Testa, 1994;Má ndi et al, 1994), well known as therapeutic agents, are important because of their range of applications in the dye and pharmaceutical industries. Certain acridinedione derivatives exhibit good inhibition against the pathogen vibro isolate-I (Josephrajan et al, 2005), display anti-cancer (Sondhi et al, 2004;Sugaya et al, 1994;Kimura et al, 1993) and antitumour (Talacki et al, 1974) activity and act as K-channel openers (Li et al, 1996).…”

“…Acridines fused with an ethylenedioxy group at the 2-and 3-positions of the acridine ring showed the same potency of antitumor activities as m-AMSA in the P-388 antitumor test [96,97] (Table 5).…”
