The expedient synthesis of various 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione compounds, particularly those having substituents at the C3-, N1- and N4-positions is achieved. The important features in these synthetic strategies include: (i) using the coupling reaction of isatoic anhydride with alpha-amino ester for direct construction of the core structure of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione; (ii) using potassium...

A family of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones (BZDs) has been synthesized and evaluated against transformed B- and T-cells for lymphotoxic members. A large aromatic group on the C3 position is critical for cytotoxicity. When the C3 moiety contains an electron-rich heterocycle, the resulting BZDs have sub-micromolar potency and are selective for T-cells. Cell death is consistent with apoptosis and d...

The inhibitors of p53-HDM2 interaction are attractive molecules for the treatment of wild-type p53 tumors. In order to search more potent HDM2 inhibitors, docking operation with CDOCKER protocol in Discovery Studio 2.1 (DS2.1) and multidimensional hybrid quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies through the physiochemical properties obtained from DS2.1 and E-Dragon 1.0 as desc...

A manganese(III)-mediated reaction between 2-benzoyl-1,4-benzoquinones and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds that produces benzo[c]furan-4,7-diones and anthracene-1,4-diones with high chemoselectivity is described. With ethyl butyrylacetate, by changing the solvent, benzo[c]furan-4,7-diones and anthracene-1,4-diones can be generated in high chemoselectivities. With ethyl benzoylacetate, N ,N-dimethyl ac...

Treatment of N-substituted 2-(methylamino)naphthoquinones 3 and -anthracene-1,4-diones 4 with S2Cl2 and DABCO in chlorobenzene gave the corresponding 2,3-dihydronaphtho[2,3-d][1,3]thiazole-4,9-diones 1 and 2,3-dihydroanthra[2,3-d][1,3]thiazole-4,11-diones 2 by triethylamine addition, in high to moderate yields. The DABCO replacement for N-ethyldiisopropylamine in the reaction of anthracene-1,4-...

A traceless solid-phase synthesis of 6-amino- and 6-hydroxyimino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones and 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones has been developed. The strategy comprises of linking a preformed N-carbamothioylcarbamate to bromomethyl resin to give a S-linked isothiourea, which then undergoes cyclization with isocynates to yield the resin-bound 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones. Subsequent cleavage was acco...
