GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract γ -Aminopropylsilatrane has been reported to possess biological activity againsttumor cancer cells with low cytotoxicity in many kinds of silatranes. So some N-substitutedγ -aminopropylsilatrane derivatives were synthesized and assayed by a primary anticancerscreening against HT-29, Hela, and MDAMB435 cells by the use of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The structures of these derivatives wereconfirmed by 1H NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Thestructure–activity relationship showed that the N-substituted derivatives exhibit better activityin which the γ -amino group of the silatrane is connected with stronger electron-withdrawinggroups.

INTRODUCTION

Silatranes, heterotricyclic compounds exhibiting an intramolecular transannular da-tive Si←N bond, are challenging targets for scientists from the point of view of theirstructural features and applications. The strength of the dative bond depends not only onthe substituent on the silicon but also on the skeletal structure of the parent ring. Thelength of this bond is also influenced by the position, axial or equatorial, occupied by thesubstituent on the silicon as well as by cage effects.1–4 The analysis of the electron densitydistribution in the silatrane led to the conclusion that obviously the interaction betweennitrogen and silicon is rather electrostatic and less covalent. Therefore, they are relativelystable to moisture, and more difficult to hydrolyze compared with their analogs (trialkoxysi-lanes) and can be used in various reactions, e.g., additions and nucleophilic substitutions.5–8

Optimization of the 1-substituted groups is important since the toxicity and bioactivity ofsilatranes is correlated with these groups.

Many derivatives of silatrane could even stimulate the biosynthesis of nucleic acidsand proteins and the growth of some cells, especially regenerating cells of connective tissueand liver.9–11 But some 1-arylsilatranes were almost twice as toxic as well-known poisonsas strychnine and hydrocyanic acid. Meanwhile, 1-alkyl- or 1-alkoxysilatranes did notinfluence the growth of normal cells even in a higher concentration. In 1-alkyl derivatives, γ -aminopropylsilatranes (Figure 1, R=CH3) has captured high interest due to their bioactivity,safety, and potential for the preparation of new silatranes by derivatization of the aminogroup. They are also an important group of biologically active compounds as a result oftheir diverse pharmacological applications, such as antitumor,12 antiviral,13,14 and regulatingplant growth.8 At the same time, it was found that γ -aminopropylsilatrane is capable ofenhancing the carcinostatic effect of the well-known antitumor drug cyclophosphamide.13,15

Recently, silatranes were shown to exhibit pronounced antitumor activity by reducing theability of tumor cells to undergo invasion and by inhibiting tumor growth. Inaddition,silatranes adorned with methyl groups (Figure 1, R=CH3) have the advantage of being morestable toward hydrolysis, whereas those without (Figure 1, R=H) may have an advantagein terms of inhibiting an enzyme because the active site should better accommodate theless bulky ligands.12

To get a better understanding of the structure–activity relationship (SAR) in thistype of compounds by modifications in the γ -amino groups of silatrane, we report here

SYNTHESIS, ANTITUMOR ACTIVITY, AND SAR OF N-SUBSTITUTED 513

the synthesis and biological activity of compounds derived from γ -aminopropylsilatraneand γ -aminopropyl-3,7,10-trimethylsilatrane. By use of various aroyl chlorides, aldehy-des, and isocyanates for reactions with the γ -amino group, numerous N-substituted γ -aminopropylsilatranes were synthesized and their action in vitro against HT-29, Hela, andMDAMB435 was investigated. Because γ -aminopropylsilatrane could improve the effectof antitumor drugs, its mutual prodrugs were designed and synthesized. A clinical antitu-mor drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), but not cyclophosphamide, was selected to introduce intothe mutual prodrugs due to better reactive properties and lesser molecular weight. Finally,some N-substituted γ -aminopropylsilatrane derivatives containing the structure of 5-FUwere synthesized and assayed to check their synergism.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Our strategy for the synthesis of derivatives with different structures was based ona nucleophilic addition reaction between silatrane and aromatic acid chlorides, aromaticaldehydes, aromatic isocyanates, and 5-FU. Thirty-two compounds (2a–j, 3a–i, 4a–i, 5a–b,

Initially, 2a–j weresynthesized by the reaction of 1a–b with various aroyl chlorides, 3a–i were synthesized bythe reaction of 1a–b with aldehydes, 4a–i were synthesized by the reaction of 1a–b withisocyanates, and 5a–b and 6a–b were synthesized by linking 1a–b with 5-FU via differentchemical bridges.

For the primary assay, the percentage inhibitions of compounds at 0.4, 2, 10, 50,and 100 μg/mL were measured against HT-29, Hela, MDAMB435 respectively in vitro incomparison with 5-FU. Then we determined their IC50 values by SPSS.

From the results listed in Table 1, one can see that all target compounds are weakerthan 5-FU in the inhibition of tumor cell growth. In contrast, the performance of compounds5a–b and 6a–b is quite good, and is very close to 5-FU. Next, 3a–i is better than 4a–i.

SYNTHESIS, ANTITUMOR ACTIVITY, AND SAR OF N-SUBSTITUTED 515

CONCLUSIONS

Thirty-two N-substituted γ -aminopropylsilatranes were synthesized and tested fortheir activities on HT-29, Hela, and MDAMB435.

Different types of products exhibit their own selectivity. For example, 1a–b, 2d–j, and4a–i had no activity to Hela cells. The 3,7,10-trimethyl derivatives derived from 1b weremore active than those without methyl substituents (derived from 1a). 2a and 2f showed ahigher antitumor activity than 2i and 2j respectively.

Since 3a–i exhibited good performance to three types of cancer cells, obviously,the C=N double bond plays a critical role. On the other hand, a two-fold increase in theinhibitory activity of both MDAMB435 and HT-29 assays was observed when the N atomwas substituted by a strong electron-withdrawing group, e.g., 2b and 4c showed morepreferable bioactivity than 2e and 4f respectively.

To check the synergism between the γ -aminopropylsilatrane and 5-FU, we linkedthese moieties together. However, the activity of 5a–b and 6a–b was still slightly lowercompared with 5-FU. This could be due to the amide linkage, which can rarely be cleavedin culture cells that block their synergism.

The SAR analysis indicates that the N-substituted γ -aminopropylsilatranes were welloptimized for bioactivity via appropriate chemical modification.

EXPERIMENTAL

Instruments and Reagents

Uncorrected melting points (m.p.) were determined using an XRC-1 micro-meltingpoint apparatus. Thin layer chromatography (TLC, Rf values) was performed on F254 orsilica gel plates F254 (0.2-mm thick) and visualization was effected with UV light. 1HNMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance-3600 spectrometer (600 MHz). Sampleswere dissolved in CDCl3, while tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as an internal standard.Chemical shifts δ were recorded in ppm relative to TMS, and J-values are expressed in Hz.Mass spectra (MS) were recorded using an Agilent-1100 LC mass spectrometer.

General Procedure for the Preparation of 1a–b

The γ -aminopropylsilatranes 1a and 1b were synthesized by condensation of triiso-propanolamine or triethylolamine with γ -aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The products wereobtained by vacuum distillation. For the data of 1a and 1b see Dumitriu et al.6

General Procedure for the Preparation of 2a–j

Different chlorides (0.012 mol) were added drop-wise to a solution of 1a/1b(0.01 mol) in CHCl3 (10 mL) containing triethylamine (2 mL). The solution was stirred atroom temperature for 2 h. The filtrate was washed twice with NaHCO3 (0.6 mol/L). Theorganic layer was dried with Na2SO4 and then dumped into petroleum ether. The products2a–j precipitated as white solids. They were purified by further recrystallization. 2e, 2f,2h, and 2j have not been reported before. For the data of 2a–d, see Hu et al.16

MTT Assay

The MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activ-ities of all compounds. The cells were treated with various concentrations (0.4, 2, 10, 50,and 100 μg/mL) of compound in 96-well culture plates for 24 h in final volumes of 100 μL(5 × 103 cells/well). Then 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) was added to each well, andthe cells were incubated for an additional 4 h. The medium was carefully removed, and theresidues were dissolved in 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), shaken mechanicallyfor 30 min, and absorbance values at a wavelength of 570 nm were collected on an ELX800microplate reader. IC50 values were calculated using percentage of growth versus untreatedcontrol by SPSS.
