RESUMO
Forskolin C1-isoxazole derivatives (3,5-regioisomers) (11a-e, 14, 15a-h and 15, 16a-g) were synthesized regioselectively by adopting 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. These derivatives were tested using estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and BT-474. Majority of the compounds exhibited activity against the p53-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells but not against the p53-negative BT-474 breast cancer cells. Among forskolin derivatives, compounds 11a, 11c, 14a, 14f, 14g, 14h, 15b, 16g and 17b exhibited higher anti-cancer activity against MCF-7 cell line with an IC50≤1µM. The derivative 14f exhibited highest activity in both p53-positive (MCF-7) and p53-negative (BT-474) breast cancer cell lines with an IC50 of 0.5µM.

Various oxepine and azepine fused N-heterocyclic derivatives were synthesized using a new and one-pot reaction of 2,3-dichloro quinoxaline/pyrazine with 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)phenol/aniline in the presence of 25 mol% FeCl3. The reaction proceeded via C-C bond followed by C-X (X = O or N) bond formation to construct the central 7-membered ring, affording the desired products in good yields. The structure assignment was confirmed by the single crystal X-ray analysis of a synthesized oxepine fused N-heterocycle derivative. Most of the synthesized compounds were found to be promising when tested for their anti-proliferative properties against cervical and breast cancer cell lines.
