Abstract
It has already been reported that 3-(indol-2-yl)quinoxalin-2-ones have a potent inhibitory effect on the growth of tumor cells based on anti-angiogenesis activity. We have also carried out a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of 3-(indol-2-yl)quinoxalin-2-ones, which showed a potent inhibitory activity toward the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced proliferation of human mesangial cells and the VEGF-induced auto-phosphorylation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Moreover, one of these compounds has a potent medicinal effect based on anti-angiogenic action, by oral administration (Chart 1, 9). However, since the existing synthetic methods for the preparation of 3-(indol-2-yl)quinoxalin-2-ones consist of multiple steps some of which require strict anhydrous conditions, a convenient and simple synthetic method in place of the existing method is desirable. As a result of the investigations into the synthetic procedures, 3-(3-substituted indol-2-yl)quinoxalin-2-ones can be easily prepared by the condensation of 3-substituted indoles with quinoxalin-2-ones in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Herein, we report the examination of these reaction conditions and the application of this new synthetic method to the synthesis of the derivatives as VEGF inhibitors.
This study presents a new, convenient synthetic method for 3-(3-substituted indol-2-yl)quinoxalin-2-ones, which show potential as VEGF inhibitors, by condensation of 3-substituted indoles with quinoxalin-2-ones
