Highly functionalized 4-bromopyridines were prepared and found to undergo fluoride-promoted, Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryltrialkoxysilanes to give sterically demanding biaryls. The 3-nitro-4-bromopyridine derivative coupled in good yield with TBAT (tetrabutylammonium triphenyldifluorosilicate) to provide a biaryl adduct that serves as a model system for the total synthesis of the antitumor antibiotics streptonigrin and lavendamycin.

This review uses the National Cancer Institute (NCI) COMPARE program to establish an extensive list of heterocyclic iminoquinones and quinones with similarities in differential growth inhibition patterns across the 60-cell line panel of the NCI Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP). Many natural products and synthetic analogues are revealed as potential NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) substrates, through correlations to dipyridoimidazo[5,4-]benzimidazoleiminoquinone (DPIQ), and as potential thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitors, through correlations to benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones and pleurotin. The strong correlation to NQO1 infers the enzyme has a major influence on the amount of the active compound with benzo[]perimidines, phenoxazinones, benz[]pyrido[1,2-]indole-6,11-quinones, seriniquinones, kalasinamide, indolequinones, and furano[2,3-]naphthoquinones, hypothesised as prodrugs.

Lavendamycin methyl ester (LME) is a derivative of a highly functionalized aminoquinone alkaloid lavendamycin and could be used as a scaffold for novel anticancer agent development. This work demonstrated LME production by cultivation of an engineered strain of Streptomyces flocculus CGMCC4.1223 ΔstnB1, while the wild-type strain did not produce.

Streptonigrin (STN, 1) is a highly functionalized aminoquinone alkaloid with broad and potent antitumor activity. Here, we reported the biosynthetic gene cluster of STN identified by genome scanning of a STN producer Streptomyces flocculus CGMCC4.1223.

The title compound, C(27)H(24)N(4)O(5), is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of lavendamycin via a ruthenium-catalysed [2 + 2 + 2] cyclo-addition. An intra-molecular hydrogen-bond bridge from the carboline to the quinoline stabilizes a highly planar geometry [maximum deviation = 0.065 (6) Å] for the two rigid units.

A series of lavendamycin analogues with two, three or four substituents at the C-6, C-7 N, C-2', C-3' and C-11' positions were synthesized via short and efficient methods and evaluated as potential NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1)-directed antitumor agents. The compounds were prepared through Pictet-Spengler condensation of the desired 2-formylquinoline-5,8-diones with the required tryptophans followed by further needed transformations. Metabolism and toxicity studies demonstrated that the best substrates for NQO1 were also the most selectively toxic to NQO1-rich tumor cells compared to NQO1-deficient tumor cells.
