Abstract |
The synthesis of dihydro furonaphth[1,3]oxazine derivatives 3 was performed through a Mannich-type condensation between 2-cyano-5-hydroxy-3-methylnaphtho[1,2] furan 2a, 1.5 eq of a primary amine and 3 eq of formaldehyde. Similarly, 2-cyano-5-hydroxy-3-methylfuro[2,3-f] quinoline 2b gave the dihydro furo[1,3]oxazino- quinoline compounds 4. Heating a mixture of the naphthofuran 2a, tert-butylamine and formaldehyde at toluene reflux led to the furonaphthoxazine 3e, which decomposes to afford an o-quinonemethide intermediate 5. The latter was trapped with 1-morpholinopropene to give a dihydro furonaphthopyran derivative 6. All compounds 2, 3, 4 and 6 were assayed for in vitro cytotoxic activity toward L 1210, MDA-MB 231 and PC tumor cells. Among them, furonaphth[1,3] oxazines 3b, 3c, and furo[1,3]oxazinoquinolines 4c, 4d showed significant activity against L 1210 cells, while furoquinoline 2b was the most cytotoxic compound towards all three cell lines.
