Abstract

We describe the design, synthesis, and in vitro biological evaluation of contilistat, a novel polyfunctionalized indole derivative designed as a hybrid of contilisant and vorinostat containing key pharmacophoric groups of both parent ligands.

Key words

docking analysis - medicinal chemistry - multitarget drugs - indoles - contilistat

25 Contilistat TFA (0.3 mL, 3.65 mmol) and Et₃SH (0.5 mL, 3.04 mmol) were added to a solution of diamide 8 (267 mg, 0.30 mmol) in anhyd CH₂Cl₂ (6 mL), and the mixture was kept at r.t. for 2 h. The solvent was then removed and the crude product was purified by column chromatography [Biotage Sfär KP-Amino D, (CH₂Cl₂–5% MeOH)] to give a solid product; yield: 110 mg (58%); mp 83–85 °C.
