Synthesis and Biological Activity of Esters in the trans-1,2-Dihydroxy-1,2-dihydroacronycine Series

Permanganate oxidation of acronycine (1) led to keto alcohol 4 which could be reduced to trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydroacronycine (3) using NaBH4. Acylation of 3 afforded 12, 13, and 14. These esters (12, 13, and 14) were more potent than 1 when tested against L-1210 cells in vitro. Diacetate 12 wa...

Description
Summary:Permanganate oxidation of acronycine (1) led to keto alcohol 4 which could be reduced to trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydroacronycine (3) using NaBH4. Acylation of 3 afforded 12, 13, and 14. These esters (12, 13, and 14) were more potent than 1 when tested against L-1210 cells in vitro. Diacetate 12 was evaluated in vivo against murine P-388 leukemia and was markedly active at a dose 16-fold lower than acronycine itself. Comparison of these results with those recently obtained in the cis-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydroacronycine series is discussed.
