Synthesis and antitumor properties of some isoindolylalkylphosphonium salts.

Antitumor evaluation of 2-(1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (1) revealed significant activity in P-388 lymphocytic leukemia (T/C = 160%). As a follow-up to this chemical lead, a series of closely related phosphonium salts was prepared in which the 1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindole ring system was maintained or in which it was replaced by other moieties such as maleimido, bromo, methoxy, and isoindoline. Syntheses generally involved treatment of the appropriate N-(bromoalkyl)phthalimide with the required phosphine or condensation of the K salt of the substituted imide with beta-(bromoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (12). From the biological data obtained for these compounds, several requirements can be defined for substantial antileukemic activity. Of utmost importance is the presence of a triarylphosphonium halide moiety, coupled to an alkyl chain of two or three carbon atoms. The preferred terminus of the alkyl chain is the 1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindole ring system, although the observed activity of beta-(bromoethyl)-triphenylphosphonium bromide (12) (T/C = 127%) would suggest that a superior carrier molecule could be developed.

Complexes of trivalent oxygenated phosphorus compounds with cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome P-420: the origin of double Soret spectra.

Trivalent oxygenated phosphorus ligands include alkyl and aryl phosphites, (RO)3P, phosphonites, (RO)2PR, and phosphinites, ROPR2. All such compounds tested, with the exception of triphenyl phosphite, interact with ferrous cytochrome P-450 and its denatured form, cytochrome P-420, to produce complexes having two peaks in the Soret region of their optical difference spectra. Careful evaluation of these spectra indicate that they arise for different reasons for each of the two cytochromes. Clear evidence shows that cytochrome P-450 is not denatured by these ligands. The high affinity of these ligands for heme iron is indicated by small Ks values. The experimental results are used to substantiate a theory of the origin of microsomal double Soret spectra and the nature of the environments available for microsomal cytochromes P-450 and P-420.

Structure of antischistosome compounds. V 1,6-Hexanediylbis(triphenylphosphonium) dibromide.

C42H42P2(2+).2Br-, Mr = 768.6, triclinic, P1, a = 13.328 (2), b = 23.110 (3), c = 9.417 (1) A, alpha = 90.75 (1), beta = 109.62 (1), gamma = 91.23 (1) degrees, V = 2730.86 A3, Z = 3, Dx = 1.402 g cm3, graphite-monochromatized Cu K alpha radiation, lambda = 1.5418 A, mu = 52.0 cm-1, F(000) = 1182, T = 292 K. Final R = 0.051 for 5225 reflections with I greater than 3 sigma (I). Structure solved by Patterson methods and delta F syntheses. One molecule is located at the center of symmetry of the unit cell. The hexane moieties of all three molecules are in the trans extended conformation. However, one of the P-C-C-C torsion angles in the complete molecule in the asymmetric unit is 118.4 (6) degrees, the corresponding P-C-C-C torsion angle about the other P atom being 178.7 (5) degrees. This creates a conformational asymmetry in an otherwise symmetric molecule. This conformation permits the formation of a nearly square, planar, noncovalent interaction involving this P atom with one of the Br- ions and a symmetry-related Br--P interaction. The remaining P atoms and Br- ions are noncovalently linked to this square, approximately along the alpha axis. This noncovalent network is nearly parallel to the [011] plane, but does not extend beyond the [020] and [020] planes. The half-molecule in the asymmetric unit is approximately 45 degrees to the whole molecule, with two of its phenyl rings directed toward and perpendicular to one of the phenyl rings of the asymmetric triphenylphosphonium group of the whole molecule.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
