Chromenopyridines: promising scaffolds for medicinal and biological chemistry.

Curr Med Chem

Bioelectrochemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Chile, Sergio Livingstone Polhammer 1007, Santiago-Chile.

Published: June 2012

Chromenopyridines constitute a structurally diverse class of compounds with a wide range of bioactivities and increasing presence in drugs. Here we analyze the scope of the synthetic methodology to access this nucleus with emphasis on multicomponent reactions and robust methodologies. Reactivity issues, medicinal applications and other properties are also reviewed.

The review summarizes all synthetic methodologies for the preparation of chromeno[3,2-]pyridines and chromeno[3,2-]quinolines. The proposed approaches are systemized based on ways for the construction of the heterocyclic system. The presence of these compounds in nature and their bioactivity are also discussed.

A novel series of 5H-chromenopyridines was identified as anticancer agents in our continuing effort to discover and develop new small molecule anti-proliferative agents. Based on our initial lead SP-6-27 compound, we designed and synthesized novel tricyclic 5H-thiochromenopyridine and 5H-chromenopyridine analogs to evaluate the impact of an additional ring, as well as conformational flexibility on cytotoxic activity against human melanoma and glioma cell lines. All of the 5H-thiochromenopyridines have been achieved in good yields (89%-93%) using a single-step, three-component cyclization without the need for purification.
