De novo synthesis and biological evaluation of C6″-substituted C4″-amide analogues of SL0101.

ABSTRACT: In an effort to improve upon the in vivo half-life of the known ribosomal s6 kinase (RSK) inhibitor SL0101, C4″-amide/C6″-alkyl substituted analogues of SL0101 were synthesized and evaluated in cell-based assays. The analogues were prepared using a de novo asymmetric synthetic approach, which featured Pd-π-allylic catalyzed glycosylation for the introduction of a C4″-azido group. Surprisingly replacement of the C4″-acetate with a C4″-amide resulted in analogues that were no longer specific for RSK in cell-based assays.
