Synthesis and antitumor activity of 4-aminomethylthioxanthenone and 5-aminomethylbenzothiopyranoindazole derivatives.
Two new series of antitumor agents, 4-aminomethylthioxanthenones (6-50) and 5-aminomethylbenzothiopyranoindazoles (51-61), are described and compared. Nearly all members of both series display excellent in vivo activity versus murine pancreatic adenocarcinoma 03 (Panc03) although there is little to distinguish the two series from each other. In both series there is no discernible relationship between structure and in vivo efficacy. Selected analogues were evaluated in vitro; all were observed to have moderate to strong DNA binding via intercalation. However, varying degrees of in vitro P388 cytotoxicity and topoisomerase II inhibition were seen. In general, those molecules which exhibited strong topoisomerase II inhibition were significantly more cytotoxic than those which did not. In both series, those derivatives (48-50, 60, and 61) having a phenolic hydroxy substitution exhibited the most potent P388 cytotoxicity and topoisomerase II inhibition.

Pharmacokinetic studies in mice of two new thioxanthenones (183577 and 232759) that showed preferential solid tumor activity.
Two new thioxanthenones, 183577 and 232759, have rekindled interest in the development of representatives from this class of structures as useful anticancer agents. Although the mechanism of action is unknown, both compounds demonstrated a similar spectrum of solid tumor selectivity. 232759 was selected for clinical development because it showed no hepatotoxicity in preliminary studies, whereas 183577 showed hepatotoxicity but only at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The limiting toxicity for the clinical candidate was myelosuppression in preliminary studies. Plasma and tissue drug levels, as well as protein binding, were studied in mice using optimal administration times at the MTD for each drug (for 183577, this was a 4-h infusion at 1350 mg/m2 and for 232759, it was a 5-min injection at 240 mg/m2), as well as at one-half the MTD for the clinical candidate. The drugs were 96-100% bound by plasma proteins. The peak drug concentrations, half-life, and area under the concentration-time curve in plasma for 183577 were 3483 ng/ml, 465 min, and 2018 microgram/ml. min, respectively. The peak drug concentration, half-life, and area under the concentration-time curve in plasma for 232759 were 5257 ng/ml, 44 min, and 276 microgram/ml. min, respectively, at the MTD and 2810 ng/ml, 40 min, and 110 microgram/ml. min at one-half the MTD. In all instances of simultaneous measurements, drug concentrations were equal or higher in tissues than they were in plasma. Unlike the plasma and kidney concentrations of 183577, the liver concentrations did not show a declining trend over the 8-h observation period. Declines in plasma, liver, kidney, and tumor levels of 232759 were detected over the 8-h observation period. The sustained high 183577 concentration in liver is believed to be responsible for its prolonged half-life and hepatotoxicity. Evidence for metabolism of the parent drugs was based on the finding of additional peaks on the high-pressure liquid chromatography tracings. Future studies will focus on identification and antitumor studies of these presumed metabolites in hopes of a better understanding of the solid tumor activity profiles and toxic effects of these compounds.

Comparative molecular field analysis of the antitumor activity of 9H-thioxanthen-9-one derivatives against pancreatic ductal carcinoma 03.
The present study establishes correlations of in vivo growth inhibition of a solid tumor, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Panc03), of mice with the steric and electrostatic fields and the hydrophobic parameter log P of a series (32) of 1-[[2-(dialkylamino)alkyl]amino]- 9H-thioxanthen-9-ones by the 3D-QSAR method comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). The template molecular model was hycanthone methanesulfonate (19), the structure of which had been established previously by X-ray crystallography. The hycanthone base is protonated at the terminal nitrogen N(2), and an intramolecular hydrogen bond is present between the proximal nitrogen N(1) and carbonyl oxygen O(1) atoms. Crystallographic data also indicate a planar arrangement of bonds around N(1). However, the molecular geometry of 19, optimized by semiempirical molecular orbital methods (PM3, MNDO, AM1), showed the expected trigonal-pyramidal configuration for N(1). A comparison of MO and ab initio methods applied to a model compound, 1-amino-9H-thioxanthen-9-one, led to the selection of PM3 as the method for full geometry optimization of first the cationic and then the neutral forms of 1-32, whereas AM1 provided atomic charges for these same structures save those incorporating a sulfonamide moiety (5, 7, 20, 25, 26, 29, 31, and 32). Acceptable values for the latter were obtained from ab initio calculations. Structures were aligned by minimizing root-mean-square (rms) differences in the fitting of structures to 19 using the FIT option of SYBYL. An alternative strategy of alignment, steric and electrostatic alignment (SEAL), was invoked to provide a comparison of statistical data generated with the rms alignment. The rms-fit alignment of structures produced slightly better cross-validated and conventional r2 values than those generated with the SEAL method. In addition, the rms-fit data indicate that a shift in the lattice of one-half of its spacing has a much smaller effect on the CoMFA data for a lattice of 1 A than one of 2 A. Inclusion of log P in a CoMFA of the neutral structures effected a small (ca. 8-10%) but significant improvement in cross-validated r2 values. The relative contributions of the hydrophobic effects and the steric and electrostatic fields to the conventional r2 values were 16%, 42%, and 42%, respectively. By contrast, incorporation of frontier molecular orbital (HOMO and LUMO) energies or their gaps in the PLS analyses failed to enhance correlation coefficients derived fo Topics: Adenocarcinoma; Animals; Antineoplastic Agents; Cell Line; Mice; Models, Molecular; Pancreatic Ducts; Pancreatic Neoplasms; Structure-Activity Relationship; Thioxanthenes | 1994 |
