Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to aryl ether compounds, their preparation methods, and applications, particularly to aryl ether compounds, their preparation methods, and their applications in the preparation of antibacterial and antitumor drugs. Background Technology
[0002] Aryl ether compounds are mainly derived from the marine fungus Spiromastix sp. (MCCC 3A00308), which is mainly distributed in sedimentary rocks at depths of over 2,869 kilometers in the South Atlantic, making collection relatively difficult.
[0003] Currently, aryl ether compounds are found in low abundance in nature (some compounds are present in fermentation broth at concentrations below 0.5 mg / L). The number of aryl ether compounds discovered is limited, and no methods for their total synthetic preparation have been reported. There is no universal method for synthesizing compounds with various substitution conditions. Furthermore, there are no reports of the application of derivatives of this structure in the preparation of antibacterial or antitumor drugs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a series of new aryl ether compounds, which have significant antibacterial and antitumor activities.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following techniques:

[0253] Example 2: Antibacterial activity results of aryl ether compounds
[0254] 1. Antibacterial activity test (taking Candida albicans or Cryptococcus neoformans as examples)
[0255] Experimental bacterial strains: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, ATCC43300) and Escherichia coli (E. coli, ATCC 25922). The bacterial strains were cryopreserved in tryptone soybean broth or agar (Tryptic Soy broth, TSB; Tryptic Soy Agar, TSA; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Fungi: Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Cryptococcus neoformans (ATCC66031). *C. albicans* was inoculated on YM liquid medium (Yeast malt, YM; Yeast malt agar, YMA; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), and *C. neoformans* was inoculated on Sabouraud dextrose broth medium (Sabouraud dextrose broth, SDB; Sabouraud dextrose agar, SDA; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). All strains were inoculated on their respective liquid media and stored at -80°C for later use. Before each experiment, the strains were re-inoculated onto solid agar plates and passaged at least twice to revive the strains.
[0256] Experimental instruments and consumables: Microbial constant temperature incubator (IRM, Germany), ultra-low temperature freezer (-80℃, Panasonic, Japan), clean bench (ESCO, ESCO Singapore), benchtop constant temperature shaker (HNY-1008, Tianjin Ounuo Instrument Co., Ltd.), Eppendorf benchtop centrifuge (Eppendorf, Germany), Epoch microplate spectrophotometer (Biotech, USA), bacterial culture plates (Guangzhou Jete Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).
[0257] Reagents: Tryptic Soy Broth or Agar (TSB; Tryptic Soy Agar; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), YM Liquid Medium (Yeast Malt, YM; Yeast Maltagar, YMA; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), and Sabouraud Dextrose Broth (SDB; Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, SDA; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).
[0258] Experimental Method: Several monoclonal colonies of *Candida albicans* or *Cryptococcus neoformans* were picked from agar plates using a looper and inoculated into sterile broth. The colonies were activated by incubation overnight at 30°C and 200 rpm. The logarithmic growth phase colonies were then diluted to an OD600 value between 0.03 and 0.06. 195 μL of the diluted colonies were added to each well of a 96-well plate, followed by 5 μL of the drug. The plates were incubated for 24 hours (48 hours for *Cryptococcus neoformans*) and the OD600 value was measured.

[0260] Table 1. Results of antibacterial activity tests of the compounds (concentration: 50 μg / mL) a
[0261]
[0262] a The activity test is the average of three experimental results.
[0263] Experimental Results and Discussion: The compounds of this invention exhibit varying degrees of inhibitory activity against both bacteria and fungi. Regarding antibacterial activity, compounds 2 and 13 showed moderate inhibitory activity against *Escherichia coli*. Compounds 8, 10, and 11 showed moderate inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA), while compounds 3, 6, 9, 13, and 24-29 showed strong inhibitory activity against MRSA. This indicates that the more chlorine atoms simultaneously substituted on both sides of the aromatic ring, the more beneficial the inhibitory effect against this bacterium.
[0264] Regarding antifungal activity, compounds 1-3 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against *Candida albicans*, while compound 13 showed strong inhibitory activity. This indicates that substitution at the 3-position of the benzene ring with a methoxy group, chlorine atoms at positions 2 and 4, and a hydroxyl group at position 5 is beneficial for the inhibitory activity against this fungus. Compounds 2, 5, 6, 9, 12, and 24 showed moderate inhibitory activity against *Cryptococcus neoformans*, while compounds 1, 3, 10, and 13 showed strong inhibitory activity against *Cryptococcus neoformans*. This suggests that substitution at the 3-position of the benzene ring with a methoxy group, chlorine atoms at positions 2 and 4, and a hydroxyl group at position 5 is also beneficial for the inhibitory activity against this fungus. Overall, compound 13 exhibits a broader antibacterial spectrum.
[0265] Example 3: Antitumor activity test of the compound (using human lung cancer A549 cells as an example)
[0266] Experimental methods: The compound sample was dissolved in DMSO, and the cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium. Human lung cancer A549 tumor cells were cultured at 2-7 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a concentration of [cell / mL] in 96-well plates and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 h. 10 μL of the compound sample diluted with culture medium was added, resulting in a final concentration of 20 μg / mL per well. Three replicates were set up for each compound. The control group cells were replaced with DMSO. Three wells containing only culture medium and no cells served as background controls. After culturing for another 72 h, cells were fixed with 50% cold trichloroacetic acid solution and incubated at 4°C for 1 h. The fixative was washed off, and the cells were air-dried. 100 μL of 1% glacial acetic acid solution containing 0.4% SRB was added, and staining was performed for 15 min. Excess staining agent was washed off with 1% glacial acetic acid, and the cells were air-dried. 100 μL of 10 mM Tris buffer was added to dissolve the stain, and the absorbance (A) was read at 515 nm using a microplate reader.
[0267] Cell inhibition rate (%) = (average A value of control wells without drug - average A value of drug-treated wells) / average A value of control wells without drug × 100%.
[0268] After initial and secondary screening, the compounds were finally added to cultured cells at five different concentration gradients to repeat the tumor cell inhibitory activity assay. The percentage inhibition rate at each concentration was measured, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated using the Bliss program. 50 ).
[0269] Table 2. Inhibitory effect of compounds on A549 tumor cells (IC50) 50 (μM) a
[0270]
[0271] a The activity test results were obtained by averaging the results of three experiments.
[0272] Experimental Results and Discussion: Compounds 8, 11, 13, 24, 27, and 29 exhibited different degrees of anticancer activity, with compound 8 showing the best activity. This suggests that the presence of diphenyl ethers at positions 3 and 5 in this type of compound is beneficial for its antitumor activity.
