[Azotized emetine analogues: synthesis and evaluation of the anti-amebic and anti-tumoral action of aza-3 emetine and attempted synthesis of aza-2 emetine].
The synthesis of the N,N-bis-(acetylhomoveratrylamido)-1-hydroxymethyl and 1-carboxypropylamines (III a) and (III b) is described. Until now, these molecules could not been cyclized to the corresponding isoquinoline compounds. An attempted synthesis of 3-azaemetine by condensing homoveratrylamine with acetonedicarboxylic acid or its esters did not yield the expected diamide (XIV). However, by subjecting 1,3-bis-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6,7-dimethoxy-1-isoquinolyl)acetone (XV) to a reducing aminoalkylation, one obtained the corresponding ethylamino derivative (XVI) which could be cyclized through Mannich reaction to give 3-azaemetine. The pharmacological screening showed 3-azaemetine to be less toxic than emetine in the mouse and without antiamebic and antitumor activity against P 388 Leukaemia in the mouse (25).
