Facile synthesis of annulated heterocyclic benzo[kl]acridine derivatives via one-pot N–H/C–H coupling
2016
An efficient N–H/C–H one-pot coupling method for the preparation of benzo[kl]acridines has been developed based on palladium-catalyzed domino synthesis. Using commercially available starting materials such as dihalonaphthalenes and diphenylamines, and combining amination with catalysts for C–H activation, up to 95% overall yield can be achieved.
Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and biological evaluation of acridine derivatives: The role of aggregation on the photodynamic efficiency.
2018
Two new photoactive compounds (1 and 2) derived from the 9-amidoacridine chromophore have been synthesized and fully characterized. Their abilities to produce singlet oxygen upon irradiation have been compared. The synthesized compounds show very different self-aggregating properties since only 1 present a strong tendency to aggregate in water. Biological assays were conducted with two cell types: hepatoma cells (Hep3B) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) studies carried out with Hep3B cells showed that non-aggregating compound 2 showed photoxicity, ascribed to the production of singlet oxygen, being aggregating compound 1 photochemically inactive.…
