The invention belongs to the technical field of
drug synthesis, and particularly provides a hypoxia activated
prodrug derivative and a synthesis method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: by taking
benzimidazole as a
raw material, carrying out ring opening,
decarboxylation, esterification, iodination,
bromine substitution, reduction and cyano substitution to obtain (1-methyl-1H-
imidazole-2-
nitrile-5-yl)
methanol and (1-methyl-1H-
imidazole-2-
nitrile-4-yl)
methanol; then, the N, N '-bis (2-bromoethyl) diamino phosphonic acid (1-methyl-1H-
imidazole-2-
nitrile-5-yl) methyl ester and bromoisophosphamide
nitrogen mustard are subjected to
condensation reaction to obtain N, N'-bis (2-bromoethyl) diamino phosphonic acid (1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-nitrile-5-yl) methyl ester or N, N '-bis (2-bromoethyl) diamino phosphonic acid (1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-nitrile-4-yl) methyl ester. Through the test on the
cell inhibition rate of
ovarian cancer cells, the inhibition rate of the N, N '-bis (2-bromoethyl) diamino phosphonic acid (1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-nitrile-5-yl) methyl ester is equivalent to that of TH-302.
