Evaluation of some Mannich bases derived from substituted acetophenones against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia and on respiration in isolated rat liver mitochondria.

Series of 3-dimethylamino-1-aryl-1-propanone hydrobromides (IV) and 3-dimethylamino-2-dimethylaminomethyl-1-aryl-1-propanone dihydrobromides (V) were synthesized. Evaluation of these derivatives against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia growth revealed that two compounds show promise as antineoplastic agents. Compounds of the V series were unstable in phosphate buffer (in contrast to series IV), and when the same nuclear substituent was present in both series of compounds, V was approximately 100 times more active than IV in both the stimulation and inhibition of respiration of mitochondria isolated from rat liver cells. Representatives from both series showed that respiration in mitochondria was affected by changing the pH of the aqueous buffer from 7.4 to 6.9 or 6.4 and by reducing the temperature from 37 degrees to 20 degrees. The compounds showed reactivity toward a biomimetic thiol.

Syntheses and evaluation of some mannich bases derived from acetophenones against P388 lymphocytic leukemia and toxicological assessment of 3-dimethyl-amino-2-dimethylaminomethyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone dihydrochloride in rats.

A number of analogues of 3-dimethylamino-2-dimethylaminomethyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone dihydrochloride (IIa) and related compounds which showed activity against P388 lymphocytic leukemia were prepared, and of the 16 analogues, three met the criterion for activity in this screen. The toxicity of IIa was examined in rats and either a single dose of 25 mg/kg or nine daily doses of 12.5 mg/kg administered by the intraperitoneal route produced marked irritation and damage to the tissue with which it came into contact. Compound IIa did not show significant activity against eight other tumor systems.

Structure-activity relationships (SAR) of the 3-alkyl substituents among a series of hydroxy-acetophenone leukotriene antagonists.

LY171883 is an orally active antagonist of leukotriene (LT) D4 and LTE4. A series of related compounds varying the position and nature of the alkyl side chain were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to block LTD4-induced contraction of guinea pig ileum. Maximal activity was obtained with n-propyl, n-butyl, and n-pentyl substituents with slightly reduced activity for longer side chains. Polar groups on the side chain substantially reduced activity. Thus, it appears that the leukotriene receptor site requires a nonpolar alkyl group of moderate size at the 3-position on this type of receptor antagonist.

Estimations of excited state dipole moments of conformers in some o-substituted acetophenones by solvato-chromic shifts.

Ultra violet absorption spectra of o-methylacetophenone, o-fluoroacetophenone and o-hydroxyacetophenone solutions in different solvents are recorded in the region 200-350 nm at room temperature. Excited state dipole moments for three (pi* <-- pi) transitions of the benzene ring for solutions in non-polar and polar solvents are estimated using solvato-chromic shift method [Delta nu against f(epsilon, n)]. The results show that two types of shifts are observed red and blue shifts. The dipole moment values obtained on excitation by red shifted bands in non-polar solvents are much higher than their counterparts both in the ground state and those of the solutions in polar solvents. Those obtained on excitation by blue shifted bands have lower values than ground state, some with same direction and others of reverse direction in both non-polar and polar solvents.

Ketonization of incarcerated acetophenone enol.

A free-standing simple enol has been generated inside a carceplex. Rates of ketonization under various conditions were determined; ketonization is extremely slow as compared to the rate in solution. Complexed water is required, and the mechanism proceeds via formation of an enolate followed by protonation at carbon by the same molecule of water that removed the proton from the enol. Acid or base retards ketonization by removing water from the cavity.
