2,3-Dimethoxy-dibenzo[c,h]cinnoline (6)

6-(2-Aminophenyl)-2,3-dimethoxynaphthalene (5, 70 mg, 0.25 mmol) was dissolved in 48% hydrobromic acid (4.25 mL), cooled in ice-salt bath, and treated dropwise with stirring with sodium nitrite (0.13 g) in water (2.2 mL). Stirring was continued for 0.5 h., and to the cold solution was then added with stirring freshly precipitated copper (0.5 g). The mixture was allowed to rise slowly to room temperature and left overnight. The solid was filtered off and washed with hot chloroform. The chloroform solution was washed with diluted sodium hydroxide solution, then with water, dried (anhydrous Na2SO4) and rotaevaporated to give the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel using 50:50 hexanes:ethyl acetate afforded the title compound (13 mg) in 18% yield; 1H NMR (CDCl3) d 4.11(3H, s), 4.24(3H, s), 7.37(1H, s), 7.89˜7.94 (2H, m), 8.14(1H, d, J=8.9), 8.41(1H, d, J=8.8), 8.61˜8.66(1H, m), 8.758.80(1H, m), 9.24(1H, s); 13C NMR d 56.1, 56.4, 104.0, 10...

2,3-Dimethoxy-8,9-methylenedioxy-dibenzo[c,h]cinnoline (14)

6-(2-Amino-4,5-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-naphthalene (13, 40 mg, 0.13 mmol) in acetic acid (2 mL) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.3 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and diazotised with a solution of sodium nitrite (0.09 g in 1.5 mL water). The diazonium solution was allowed to rise slowly to room temperature and left overnight. Water (50 mL) was added to the red solution with some precipitate. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with diluted sodium hydroxide solution, then with water, dried (anhydrous Na2SO4) and rotaevaporated to give the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel using 40:60 hexanes:ethyl acetate afforded the title compound (20 mg) in 50% yield; 11H NMR (CDCl3) d 4.09(3H, s), 4.22(3H, s), 6.24(2H, s), 7.31(1H, s), 7.80(1H, s), 7.95(1H, s), 8.00(1H, d, J=9.2), 8.13(1H, d, J=8.9), 9.14(1H, s); 13C NMR d 56.5, 56.9, 98.1, 102.9, 104.6, 107.5, 107.9, 117.1, 119.6, 120.6, 12...

2,3,8,9-Tetramethoxy-dibenzo[c,h]cinnoline (19)

6-(2-Amino-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethoxynaphthalene (18) (11 mg, 0.033 mmol) in acetic acid (0.6 mL) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.06 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and diazotised with a solution of sodium nitrite (0.026 g in 0.5 mL water). The diazonium solution was allowed to rise slowly to room temperature and left overnight. Water (30 mL) was added to the red solution with some precipitate. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with diluted sodium hydroxide solution, then with water, dried (anhydrous Na2SO4) and rotaevaporated to give the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel using 40:60 chloroform:ethyl acetate afforded the title compound (5 mg) in 44% yield; 1H NMR (CDCl3) d 4.09(3H, s), 4.18(6H, s), 4.23(3H, s), 7.31(1H, s), 7.74(1H, s), 8.00(1H, s), 8.01(1H, d, J=8.5), 8.20(1H, d, J=8.9), 9.15(1H, s); 13C NMR d 56.5, 56.9, 99.9, 104.5, 107.9, 109.5, 116.9, 118.5, 118.9, 127.0, 128.4, 131.6,...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION DNA-topoisomerases are enzymes which are present in the nuclei of cells where they catalyze the breaking and rejoining of DNA strands, which control the topological state of DNA. Recent studies also suggest that topoisomerases are also involved in regulating template supercoiling during RNA transcription. There are two major classes of mammalian topoisomerases. DNA-topoisomerase-I catalyzes changes in the topological state of duplex DNA by performing transient single-strand breakage-union cycles. In contrast, mammalian topoisomerase II alters the topology of DNA by causing a transient enzyme bridged double-stand break, followed by strand passing and resealing. Mammalian topoisomerase II has been further classified as Type II a and Type II P. The antitumor activity associated with agents which are topoisomerase poisons is associated with their ability to stabilize the enzyme-DNA cleavable complex. This drug-induced stabilization of the enzyme-DNA cleavabl...
