Nitro seco-1,2,9,9a-tetrahydrocyclopropa[c]benz[e]indol-4-ones (nitroCBIs) are a new class of prodrugs for antitumor therapy that undergo hypoxia-selective metabolism to form potent DNA minor groove alkylating agents. Although hindered by poor aqueous solubility, several examples have shown activity
Nitrochloromethylbenzindolines (nitroCBIs) are a new class of hypoxia-activated prodrugs for antitumor therapy. The recently reported prototypes undergo hypoxia-selective metabolism to form potent DNA minor groove alkylating agents and are selectively toxic to some but not all hypoxic tumor cell
The synthesis of 19 (5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e]indol-1-yl)methyl sulfonate prodrugs containing sulfonate leaving groups and 7-substituted electron-withdrawing groups is reported. These were designed to undergo hypoxia-selective metabolism to form potent DNA minor groove-alkylating agents.
Racemic 2-{[1-(chloromethyl)-5-nitro-3-{5-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]indol-2-carbonyl}-1,2-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indol-7-yl]sulfonyl}aminoethyl dihydrogen phosphate, a synthetic nitro derivative of the duocarmycins, is a hypoxia-selective prodrug active against radiation-resistant tumour cells at
A series of cobalt(III) complexes of the potent DNA minor groove alkylator (1-(chloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinolin-3(2H)-yl)(5,6,7-trimethoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)methanone (3; seco-CPyI-TMI), with cyclam or cyclen auxiliary ligands (L3 and L5) containing a cross-bridging ethylene (CH2CH2)
The factors influencing the kinetics of the oxygen-sensitive reduction of indolequinones, including those bearing leaving groups in the (indol-3-yl)methyl position, have been studied. The hydroquinones derived from some representative indolequinones were found to autoxidize slowly in oxygenated
Chronic hypoxia (CH)-induced pulmonary hypertension is associated with decreased basal pulmonary artery endothelial cell (EC) Ca(2+), which correlates with reduced store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) entry. Protein kinase C (PKC) attenuates SOC entry in ECs. Therefore, we hypothesized that PKC has a greater
3-(4-Methylcoumarin-7-yloxy)methylindole-4,7-diones were synthesised as model prodrugs in order to investigate the correlation between rates of reductive elimination from the (indolyl-3-yl)methyl position with reductive metabolism by hypoxic tumor cells and NADPH: cytochrome P450. Rates of
A series of 3-substituted (5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e]indol-1-yl)methyl sulfonate (nitroCBI) prodrugs containing sulfonate leaving groups undergo hypoxia-selective metabolism to form potent DNA minor groove alkylating agents. They were evaluated (along with chloride leaving group analogs for
Effects of pyrasidol (1,10-trimethylen-8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrasino(1,2-a) indol hydrochloride)--a selective reversible inhibitor of monoaminoxidase (MAO)--on substrate specificity of MAO fragments of mitochondrial membranes of the rat liver in altitude chamber hypoxia were studied. It is
Tyrosine kinases are groups of enzymes, which are over-expressed in solid tumor cells, representing good targets for different drugs such as sunitinib (N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-5-{[(3Z)-5-fluoro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-ylidene]methyl}-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide). The aim of this
A series of indolequinones bearing a variety of leaving groups at the (indol-3-yl)methyl position was synthesized by functionalization of the corresponding 3-(hydroxymethyl)indolequinone, and the resulting compounds were evaluated in vitro as bioreductively activated cytotoxins. The elimination of a
Morphine has been shown to protect the myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury through inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). Given that GSK-3beta is known to modulate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), we investigated the role of mPTP in the
Background: Tumor metastasis is responsible for most cancer death worldwide, which lacks curative treatment. Purpose: The objective of this study was to eliminate tumor and control the development of tumor metastasis. Methods: Herein, we demonstrated a smart nano-enabled
Hydroxyindolones (1-6, 15-16) were transformed into isatinylidenes (7, 9-13, 17-19) by dehydration with 4-toluenesulfonic acid. The dimer-type compounds (14, 20) were also isolated in a few cases. The obtained isatinylidenes were transformed into 3-spiro-cyclopropane-oxindoles (21-32) with
