Exploring isoxazoles and pyrrolidinones decorated with the 4,6‐dimethoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine unit as human farnesyltransferase inhibitors
2019
: Unprecedented triazinyl-isoxazoles were afforded via an effective cycloaddition reaction between nitrile oxides and the scarcely described 2-ethynyl-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine as dipolarophile. The biological evaluation of the newly synthesized compounds showed that the inhibition of human farnesyltransferase by zinc complexation could be improved with triazine-isoxazole moieties. The replacement of the isoxazole unit by a pyrrolidin-2-one was detrimental to the inhibitory activity while the pyrrolidin-2-thione derivatives conserved the biological potential. The potential of selected compounds to disrupt protein farnesylation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with pEGFP-CAAX was also evaluated.
