Design, synthesis, and preliminary biological evaluation of 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives.
We synthesized a series of novel small molecules, 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives, by tandem reduction-oxirane opening of 2-nitroaroxymethyloxiranes in moderate or excellent yields. We investigated the effects of all of the compounds on HUVEC apoptosis and A549 cell growth. The results showed that 6,8-dichloro-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzoxazine was the most effective small molecule in promoting HUVEC apoptosis and inhibiting A549 cell proliferation, but 6-amino-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzoxazine could remarkably inhibit HUVEC apoptosis and might induce the formation of microvessel.
