Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing a novel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivative, 2,6-di-tert-butylpyrene-indenephenothiazine compound, and its application in anticancer drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Cancer remains a leading threat to global public health, and its prevention and treatment remain a serious challenge. Global statistics from 2022 show approximately 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million cancer deaths. Common malignant tumors such as breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and cervical cancer account for about 35% of all cancer incidence and mortality. [Bray, F., Laversanne, M., Sung, H., Ferlay, J., Siegel, RL, Soerjomataram, I., Jemal, A.CA. Cancer. J. Clin., 2024, 74, 229-263.] While currently widely used chemotherapy drugs (such as cisplatin, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, and cyclophosphamide) possess broad-spectrum antitumor activity, their significant toxic side effects severely impact long-term treatment outcomes for patients. [Dasari, S., Tchounwou, PBEJ Pharmacol., 2014, 740, 364-378; Staff, NP, Fehrenbacher, Jill, C., Caillaud, M., Damaj, MI, Segal, RA, Rieger, S. Exp. Neurol., 2020, 324, 113-121; LO, EKK, Leung, HKM, Zhang, F., El-Nezami, H. Curr. Opin. Toxicol., 2023, 36, 100-423; Ibrahim, KM, Darwish, SF, Mantawy, EM, El-demerdash, E. Mol. Cell. Biochem., 2024, 479, 1873-1893.] This therapeutic bottleneck highlights the urgent need to develop novel, highly effective, and low-toxicity anticancer drugs.

[0003] Phenothiazines, a class of thiazide heterocyclic compounds with a butterfly-like structure, have a molecular skeleton composed of a nitrogen-sulfur heterocyclic core fused with two benzene rings, forming a unique bicyclic fused system. This special spatial configuration and excellent electronic properties make them valuable for applications in materials science, medicinal chemistry, and petrochemicals. [Luo, J.-S., Wan, Z.-Q., Jia, C.-Y. Chinese. Chem. Lett., 2016, 27, 1304-1318; Revoju, S., Matuhina, A., Canil, L., Salonen, H., Hiltunen, A., Abate, A., Vivo, PJ Mater. Chem. C., 2020, 8, 15486-15506.] With the deepening research on this molecular skeleton, its chemical modification and functionalization have become current research hotspots. Current research on phenothiazine drugs largely focuses on the modification of the core nitrogen-sulfur heterocycle and the structural alteration of the two benzene rings. However, research on enhancing molecular conjugation through extended π-conjugation systems to construct novel conjugated phenothiazine derivatives remains relatively limited. This synthetic strategy not only enables the construction of novel phenothiazine derivatives but also provides an important material basis for expanding their multifunctional applications.
