Ergot alkaloids. Synthesis of nitrosourea derivatives of ergolines as potential anticancer agents

Abstract: Nitrosourea derivatives of ergolines have been synthesized for the purpose of obtaining agents with both prolactin-and tumor-inhibitory activity. Two derivatives of 8-amino-6-methylergoline (3), 8-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-1-nitroso-6-methylergoline (5c) and 8-[3-2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-6-methylergoline (5a), have been prepared. In addition, nitroso (7) and chloroethylcarbamyl (8) derivatives of elymoclavine (6) are reported. Compounds 5a and 5c have activity against L1210 leukemia in mice bu… Show more

“…We found 11 drugs with logIC 50 = < −2 μM in at least five cell lines out of 12 (Table ). Of these 11 drugs, six were known anticancer drugs, three were antimicrobial, which have been shown to have an antineoplastic effect, and two drugs, i.e., viomycin (antimicrobial agent) and diamorphine (analgesic), have yet not been experimentally validated as anticancer drugs. , …”

“…3-Acetamidopiperidine (8). A mixture of 7 (12.2 g, 89.5 mmol), Pt02 (500 mg), and EtOH (175 mL) containing concentrated HCI (7.5 mL) was shaken on the Parr hydrogenator for 42 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford an oil.…”

“…Mono-and bis-nitrosourea analogs of 8-amino-6methylergoline, 327 and 328 (Table 18), respectively, were synthesized 287 as examples of compounds which contain both prolactin and anticancer activities. Ergolines are believed 288 to inhibit prolactin release from the anterior pituitary gland by interacting with the prolactin-inhibiting factor (PIF) receptor.…”

“…Ergolines are believed 288 to inhibit prolactin release from the anterior pituitary gland by interacting with the prolactin-inhibiting factor (PIF) receptor. It was hoped 287 that such compounds would target cancers located in the pituitary gland. The two compounds 327 and 328 exhibited 287 moderate in vivo antileukemic activity against the L1210 line (Table 18) but only weak antiprolactin activity, i.e.…”
