Antitumor agents 283. Further elaboration of desmosdumotin C analogs as potent antitumor agents: activation of spindle assembly checkpoint as possible mode of action.
In our ongoing study of the desmosdumotin C (1) series, twelve new analogues, 21-32, mainly with structural modifications in ring-A, were prepared and evaluated for in vitro antiproliferative activity against several human tumor cell lines. Among them, the 4'-iodo-3,3,5-tripropyl-4-methoxy analogue (31) showed significant antiproliferative activity against multiple human tumor cell lines with ED(50) values of 1.1-2.8 μM. Elongation of the C-3 and C-5 carbon chains reduced activity relative to propyl substituted analogues; however, activity was still better than that of natural compound 1. Among analogues with various ether groups on C-4, compounds with methyl (2) and propyl (26) ethers inhibited cell growth of multiple tumor cells lines, while 28 with an isobutyl ether showed selective antiproliferative activity against lung cancer A549 cells (ED(50) 1.7 μM). The gene expression profiles showed that 3 may modulate the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) and chromosome separation, and thus, arrest cells at the G2/M-phase.

Total synthesis and bioactivity of unique flavone desmosdumotin B and its analogs.
The first total synthesis of a unique flavone natural product, desmosdumotin B (1), was accomplished. Furthermore, three novel flavonoids, 6-8, and a novel chalcone, 9, were synthesized. The new compounds were evaluated as in vitro inhibitors of human cancer cell growth. The synthetic 1 showed significant cytotoxic activity against a multi-drug resistant cell line (KB-VIN) with an ED50 value of 2.0 microg/mL compared to >40 microg/mL against the parental KB cell line. Flavone 7 displayed selective activity against 1A9 ovarian carcinoma with an ED50 value of 0.7 microg/mL. Selected 1-analogs and synthetic intermediates were also screened for antitumor-promoting effects as inhibitors of EBV-EA activation. Among them, trihydroxyacetophenone derivatives 11 and 14 showed good activity.
