Abstract:
:A new class of potential antitumor agents inspired by the enediyne antitumor antibiotics has been synthesized: the 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles. The aza-Bergman rearrangement of these 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles has been investigated theoretically at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level and experimentally by measuring the kinetics of rearrangement in 1,4-cyclohexadiene. There is a good correlation between the theoretical and experimental results; subtle substituent effects on the initial aza-Bergman cyclization barrier predicted by theory are confirmed by experiment. Yet, despite the ability of these 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles to undergo Bergman rearrangement to diradical/carbene intermediates under relatively mild conditions, there is no correlation between the rate of Bergman cyclization and cytotoxicity to A459 cells. In addition, cytotoxic 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles do not cause nicking of supercoiled plasmid DNA or cleavage of bovine serum albumin. An alternative mechanism for cytotoxicity involving the unexpected selective thiol addition to the N-ethynyl group of certain 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles is proposed.
