2-(substituted phenyl)amino analogs of 1-methoxyspirobrassinol methyl ether: synthesis and anticancer activity

Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 May 15;17(10):3698-712. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2009.03.064. Epub 2009 Apr 11.

Abstract

New analogs of indole phytoalexin 1-methoxyspirobrassinol methyl ether have been designed by replacement of its 2-methoxy group with 2-(substituted phenyl)amino group. Synthesized by spirocyclization methodology, trans- and cis-diastereoisomers of target compounds were isolated and evaluated as potential anticancer and antimicrobial agents. Their molecular geometries were refined by ab initio minimizations. Pharmacophore modeling and QSAR studies were performed in order to correlate their molecular structure and biological activity.
