Tyrosine kinase inhibitors. 6. Structure-activity relationships among N- and 3-substituted 2,2'-diselenobis(1H-indoles) for inhibition of protein tyrosine kinases and comparative in vitro and in vivo studies against selected sulfur congeners
1997
A small series of 2,2‘-diselenobis(1H-indoles) was synthesized as redox-modified congeners of our earlier reported 2,2‘-dithiobis(1H-indole) series. Utilizing chemistry similar to that developed earlier for the disulfur series, compounds were made from 2-halogeno-3-indolecarboxylic acid precursors bearing various polar functionality at the C-3 position and small alkyl substituents at the N-1 position of the indole nucleus. Additional compounds were derived from (R)- or (S)-tryptophan via a novel application of diselenium dichloride as an electrophilic source of diselenium, and a much improved process to a 2,2‘-dithiobis(1H-indole) congener was developed utilizing disulfur dichloride as a source of disulfur. Against isolated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr), and v-src tyrosine kinases, compounds in this series displayed broad inhibitory activity with IC50 = 0.9 to >100 μM vs EGFr, 3.4 to >50 μM vs PDGFr, and 0.4−6.7 μM vs v-src. In general, compounds ...
