The invention relates to a polyaryl-substituted
methylene oxoindole compound, a synthesis method thereof and application of the compound in preparation of antitumor drugs. The chemical
structural formula of the compound is as shown in formula 3. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: adding a compound oxoindole derivative o-amino
styrene shown as a formula 1 and a compound 1, 4-
diketone derivative shown as a formula 2, which serve as reaction raw materials, into
carbon tetrachloride, adding a dehydrating agent, stirring and reacting at
room temperature for 12 hours under the
catalysis of Bronsted acid of a compound shown as a formula 4, tracking the reaction by TLC until the reaction is complete, filtering, concentrating and purifying, thereby obtaining the 2-oxoindole derivative o-amino
styrene. According to the present invention, the
antitumor activity test results show that the synthesized polyaryl-substituted
methylene oxoindole compound has high sensitivity and strong cytotoxic activity on human
nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells ONE-1; the
reaction conditions are relatively conventional, the reaction process is mild, simple and convenient, the cost is low, and the application range of the method is widened; various substrates are used as reactants, various products are obtained, and the yield is high.
