Synthesis, Characterization And Biological Evaluation Of Novel (S,E)-11-[2-(Arylmethylene) Hydrazono] Pyrrolo [2,1-C] [1,4] Benzodiazepine Derivatives, David Mingle
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4] benzodiazepine (PBD) is a class of natural products obtained from various actinomycetes which have both anti-tumor and antibiotic activities and can bind to specific sequences of DNA. PBD-dilactam was initially produced using isatoic anhydride and (L)-proline which was then converted to the PBD-thiolactam using Lawesson's reagent. Reaction of thiolactam with hydrazine in ethanol afforded PBD-11-hydrazinyl. Condensation of 11-hydrazinyl PBD with aldehydes possessing various substitutions was performed to obtain (S,E)-11-[2-(arylmethylene) hydrazono] pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4] benzodiazepine derivatives. 1HNMR, 13C-NMR, DEPT, IR, GC-MS and X-ray crystallography were used for the characterization. Inhibition activity of the products …
