cyclobrassinin/悪性腫瘍

Brassinin [3-(S-methyldithiocarbamoyl)aminomethyl indole], a phytoalexin first identified as a constituent of cabbage, was synthesized and evaluated for cancer chemopreventive activity. Dose-dependent inhibition of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced preneoplastic lesion formation was

Phytoalexins are produced by plants after exposure to physical, biological or chemical stress and a specific group of these metabolites represent indole phytoalexins produced by important plants of the family Cruciferae. With respect to the epidemiologically proven cancer chemopreventive properties

An effective synthesis of analogs of the indole phytoalexin cyclobrassinin with NR1R2 group instead of SCH3 was developed starting from indole-3-carboxaldehyde. The target compounds were prepared by spirocyclization of 1-Boc-thioureas with the formation of isolable spiroindoline intermediates,
