Abstract
A series of 3,5‐bis(benzylidene)‐4‐piperidones 3 were converted into the corresponding 3,5‐bis(benzylidene)‐1‐phosphono‐4‐piperidones 5 via diethyl esters 4. The analogues in series 4 and 5 displayed marked growth inhibitory properties toward human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T‐lymphocytes as well as murine leukemia L1210 cells. In general, the N‐phosphono compounds 5, which are more hydrophilic than the analogues in series 3 and 4, were the most potent cluster of cytotoxins, and, in particular, 3,5‐bis‐(2‐nitrobenzylidene)‐1‐phosphono‐4‐piperidone 5 g had an average IC50 value of 34 nM toward the two T‐lymphocyte cell lines. Four of the compounds displayed potent cytotoxicity toward a panel of nearly 60 human tumor cell lines, and nanomolar IC50 values were observed in a number of cases. The mode of action of 5 g includes the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cellular respiration. Most of the members of series 4 as well as several analogues in series 5 are potent multi‐drug resistance (MDR) reverting compounds. Various correlations were noted between certain molecular features of series 4 and 5 and cytotoxic properties, affording some guidelines in expanding this study.
3,5-bis(benzylidene)-1-phosphono-4-piperidones and related diethyl esters show potent cytotoxicity against human tumor cells and exhibit multi-drug resistance reversing properties.
