Abstract:
:A series of arylidene N-alkoxydiketopiperazines was designed and stereoselectively synthesized via oxime-ether formation and intramolecular acylation. Possible cyclization and acid-catalyzed rearrangement-fragmentation mechanisms were discussed. The crystal structure of the novel diketopiperazine further confirmed the rearrangement mechanism. Most compounds exhibited antitumor activity. Several compounds were more potent against caspase-3. Specifically, compounds 6e, 6g, and 6f inhibited caspase-3 at IC50 values lying within the low micromolar range and demonstrated good selectivity. The binding modes of alkoxydiketopiperazines in the active center of caspase-3 were also discussed based on the molecular docking results.
